The Tariff Commission bill as

The Tariff Commission bill, as it
passed the House of Representatives on
the 9th, provides for commission of nine
persons, to be appointed from civil life,
who are to receive ten dollars per day
and travelling and other necessary ex-
penses. The duty of this commission will
be to take into consideration and to in
vestigate thoroughly all the various ques-
tions relating to the agricultural, COM
mercial, mercantile, manufacturing, min
ing and industrial interests of the United
States, so far as the same may be neces-
Sary to the establishment of judicious
tariff, or a revision of the existing tariff
upon a scale of justice to all interests.
The commission is empowered to travel
through the country and gather informa-
tion. The testimony taken is to be
printed from time to time and distributed
to members Of Congress by the public
printer, and the final report is to be made
not later than the first Monday in De
cembcr, 1882. The bill comedies with
the one passed by the Senate on March
IS, with the exception that the Senate bill
requires the commission to gather infor-
nation on which to base revision of the
internal revenue laws. In the Senate,
Mr.. Allison moved to strike out the clause
referring to internal revenue, but his mo-
tion was lost by vote of % to 49, The
bill was passed in the Senate by vote of
3S to l5.'

General Dibrell, a member of the
House from Tennessee, who commanded
brigade in the Confederate army, is out
with q card accounting for the distribu-
tion of the specie taken from Richmond
upon the evacuation of that city by the
Confederate Government. A good deal
of the money was paid out to General
Dibrell's brigade, which was at Washing
ton, Georgia, when the specie train ar
rived there, and all Of it was disbursed by
Major White, Chief Quartermaster in
General Dibrell's command. The vouch-
ers, copy of which General Dibrell has
in his possession, show the distribution of
the money IS stated. The total amount
was 4lOs, ,S22.9O.

The Springfield Republ;can Is al,

The Springfield Republican is dis
gusted at the conduct of President Arthur,
who "does not disclaim second term, who
''seleets his ministers for their ability as
campaign managers and his collectors of
"revenue for their belief in the propriety
''of drafting the civil service all from the
dominant party and for the service of the
'party as well as of the country" Itis too
true that "the spoil system for the moment
"vaunts itself, the reform is silent and
"voiceless, its martyr and its leader sleeps
cat Cleveland, and no one rises to take his
"place." And there is unmixed Bossism
behind it all, and Grantism, adds the
Charleston Courier. The proceedings
in South Carolina to-day carry the people
back, in sad memory and apprehension,
to Grants time and the practices of all
of us in the Cabinet.

Says the World: Speaker Keifer, in
his bright and brief career at Washing
ton, reminds us irresistibly Of that little
pig Of phenomenal appetite which, hav-
ing sssimilated bucketful Of food, was
placed in the bucket and found only to
half fill it. The point of resemblance is
that as Speaker Mr.. Keifer has managed
to lose q great deal more reputation than
he had when he went to Washington.

And seem TO murmur "'Tis Mayl IT'S Iayn

And crowns the hedges with fragrant bloom.

old rows and You again have clean mid
dies for cultivation. This alienation
may continue on the same way, fertiliz-
ing the new rows each time.
PoTAsH, in the form of ashes, is claimed
to be excellent for grape vines where the
fruit is deficient in color
For ToBAcCo.-Ammonia 6 Der cent.
phosphoric acid 8 per cent, potash per
cent, plaster so per cent, but the plaster
may be put in any desired per cent.
MOUSE holes in walls and closets should
be first filed with lime and afteward plas-
tered over with plaster of Paris mixed
with water. 1t is good plan to keep a
paper of the latter in every house, as it is
useful in filling cracks, and in many other
ways in household economy.
KEEP the back, especially between the
shoulder blades, well covered; also the
chest well protected to avoid cold.
A GERMAN paper says that a roof can
be made ire-proof by covering it with
mixture of lime, salt and wood ashes,
adding little lampblack to give dark
color. This not only guards against fire,
it is claimed, but also in a measure pre-
vents decay.
SETTING OUT PLANTs.-Nothing is
gained by setting out plants TOO young.
Try any of the garden plants and you will
find that the well grown, stocky plants,
are always far ahead, though much younger
ones were taken up and set out long
before them Young plants are more
easily stunted by transplanting, and this
is especially to be avoided in raising early
vegetables

OF one hundred infants sucked by
their mothers eighteen died during the

METHOD. Always have method in
everything about the farm, with a well
matured plan of operation this may be
modified as judgment may dictate, but
without plan you will be confused in
doubt and hesitation all the year.
PAINT, to last long, should be put on
early in winter or spring, when it is cold
and no dust flying. Paint put on in cold
weather forms body or coat upon the
surface of the wood that becomes hard
and resists weather, or an edged tool
even, like slate.
BASKET WnLow.-The South is ad-
mirably adapted to the growth of the
Osier willow, and yet, we know of not
single willow grove in the entire South.
All our creek borders and wet bottoms
will grow it finely, and once started the
cuttings continue for years. Over mil
lion dollars worth is annually imported
into the country. An acre will yield
about three tons, which sells from $40 to
$50 per ton, according to quality.
THE following points should be sought
after in selecting breed of fowls: Early
maturity, fertility as layers, size, quality
of flesh, and hardness at all ages
IT is estimated that one pound of
pressed oil cake equals three pounds of
cornmeal or nine pounds of bran in nutri-
tive value. One pound of pressed oil
cake represents ten pounds of ordinary
hay.

The Dublin Farmscr claims that full
feed of hay to horses, following the feed
ing of concentrated food, is wasteful, for
the reason that it crowds the first out of
the stomach before digestion has been ae-
complished. And 40, in order to procure
the best results, hay should be fed first
and the concentrated food afterwards !;
which leaves it to become fully digested,
with no danger of being crowded away or
out of the performance of its desired pur
pose.
THE POSSIBILITIES OF GOOD FARMING.
A good farmer, even in the pine lands
of Mississippi and Louisiana, and in nu-
merous localities in the Gulf States, may
make all the corn he needs and some to
sell; he may have q stock of grazing
hogs sufficiently large to furnish all the
bacon, lard, hams and picked pork he
needs the year round, and fat pigs 70
roasters, and surplus to sell he may
fstten his hogs on sweet potatoes and
6eld peas alone, or chufss. artichokes and

a Cotton Fire on the Baltimore
Wharf.

wharf,
Saturday morning, about quarter to
eleven o'clock, an alarm Of fire was
turned in from station No. 6, al
the gas house, foot of Bay street, which
brought out the Fire Department
promptly. The day Waterman observed
smoke Issuing from bale OF cotton, portion
OF load that had been brought from the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
depot, and which bad been discharged only
a few minutes previous. There was q good
fresh breeze blowing at the time, and the
Waterman had only given the alarm, when
the fire burst forth from the bale and spread
rapidly. Owing TO the efforts OF the
clerks and the stevedores, Of whom there
was large force on the wharf, the fire was
kept under control until the arrival of the
Fire Department. The firemen, under the
direcLlon of Assistant Chief Mouro in
charge, were quickly at work, and soon ex-
were fitty-fve bales slightly scorched on the
outside and more or less damaged by water.
The loss will be trifing, and It
is covered by insurance. The cotton was
shipped from the interior, and was
en- route to Baltimore, consigned to
"order," and would have gone forward on
the next ship. An investigation developed
the fact that the drayman who brought the
load in which the fire occurred to the wharf
was seen smoking while on the way from
the railroad depot, and q spark from his
pipe dropped on the bale and sgrad-
ually burned through the baggi1g,
thus igniting the feecy staple. 1t is forUu-
nate that the fire developed so soon, as a
disastrous confagration might have result
ed. The name of the negro is not known,
but efforts will be taken to ascertain it..
The ''boss" draymen should instruct their
drivers not TO smoke while hauling cotton,
as 1t is not only attended with great danger,
but is in violation of the ordin ances of the
