EXCELSIOR & ANNOTATED
PHOSPHATE


So well and favorably known by the agrieultu-
raj public relying upon his experience and
personal reputation hitherto acquired in the
uniform excellence of these FERTILIZERS as
manufactured by him, continues to offer them
to the Farmers and Planters of Maryland and
Virginia, with the assurance that the High
Standard Quality of each viii be maintained
as heretofore.
For growing wheat, it is the universal opin-
ion of the farmers of Maryland and Virginia,
after over twenty years experience in the use
of these Fertilizers manufactured by me, that
an application of 100 pounds is equal in its
effects TO 200 pounds of any other Fertilizer or
Guano, therefore fully 80 per cent. cheaper.
With my present advantages and superior
facilities for manufacturing. | challenge COM
petition with any Fertilizer sold in the United
States, in quality, mechanical condition and
price.
BY strictly adhering to my original formu-
las, using only the most concentrated materi-
ais and experimenting in person their manu-
fscture, as for the past twenty-four years,
UNIFORM QUALITY Is GUARANTEED.
Farmers, to secure the only genuine Excel
sior and Phosphate prepared according TO my
original formulas established in 1858, should

The Chairman placed under Iii cussion
the Rectitications to the Revenue and

The acting President said, that as stated
by him last meeting, the figures in thu
Revenue Side are put down as done II
round figures. In an estimate like this,
the items Of revenue must be caIculatorily
entered; and he would propose that the
rectifcations in question be not made i'll

The Speaker ofthe Committee (LemmiIO
said that the rectiieati9ns are for nothing
more than to correct errors in the adi.ti1n
of the venue columns Of the draft;
those columns can never be added up cal

Always Busy.

The more a man accomplishes the
more he may. An active tool never
grows rusty. You always find those
men who are the most forward to do
good, or to improve the times and
manners, always busy. Who start
our railroads, our steamboats,, our
machine shops and our manufactures
Men of industry and enterprise, AS
long as they live they work, doing
something to benefit themselves and
others. 1t is just so with a man who
is benevolent-the more he gives
the more he feels like Civ
ing. We go for activity in body,
in mind, in everything. Let the gold
grow not dim, nor the thoughts become
stale. Keep all things in motion, We
would rather that death should find us
scaling a mountain than sinking in a
embarrassing whirlpool than sneak
ing from cloud.

A Queer Style of Street Car

The Accommodation Car Company
has begun operations here with II CAPT.
tai stock of $l,000,000, divided be-
tween the patentec, 7. Il. Proscr, and
+. +. Cole, q real estate man. The
object of the company is to build and
equip thousand cars and put them up
Oh the streets of Chicago. The car is
the patent of Mr.. Prosscr, and as re-
CARDS present appearance is n queer
oglcsome-lookiDg craft, which carries
its track along with it, and to all in
tents and purposes is desigrGd to ira
verse any and all lines of streets. The
car. which is of the ordinary kind, is
mounted in the middle upon truck
which sits on four wheels, each about
one foot in diameter. These wheels
run around the inside Of two steel tires,
each ten feet in diameter, and which
rest upon the ground and are held
only to the car by a set Of wheel-clamps.
The car is designed to hold fifty people,
and the owners claim that the more it
carries the easier it runs. 1t will be
stopped in the usual manner, and two
horses will be required to pull it. The
owners say that they intend putting the
cars upon the principal streets of the
city, and placing the cash fare at four
cents, and selling thirty rides for 81.

A Judge's Charge, With Variations.

The following comes from Georgia,
and its accurcncy is vouchcd for by the
stenographer who took ii down:
Judge ----- was noted for the way
he got mixed in his charges to the
jury. On one occasion q case was
tried before him the points of which
may be briefly stated thus: Smith
brought suit against Jones upon prom.
issory note given for horse. Jones's
defense was failure of consideration, he
averring that at the time of the pur-
chase the horse had the CHAMBERS, of
which he died, and that Smith knew it.
Smith replied that the horse did not
have the CHAMBERS, but had the distcm,
per, and that Jones knew it when he
bought it.
The Judge charged the jury: Seen
tlemen of the jury, pay attention to
the charge of the Court. You have
already made one mistrial Of this case
because you did not pay attention ia
the charge of the Court, and don't
want you to do it again. intend to
make it so clear to you this time that
you cannot possibly make any mistake.
This suit is upon note given for Il
prommissory horse. ! hope you I'M
derstand that. Now, if you find that
at the time of the sale Smith had the
CHAMBERS, and Jones knew it, Jones
cannot recover. That is clear, gentle.
men. l will state it again. If you
find that at the time of the sale Jones
had the dstemper, and Smith knew it,
then Smith cannot possibly recover
But, gentlemen, l will state it third
time, so that you cannot possibly make
a mistake. If at the time of the sale
Smith had the CHAMBERS, and Jones had
the distemper, and the horse knew it.
then neither Smith, Jones, nor the
horse can recover. Let the record be
given to the iury,"

A Better Use of Vaccination.

A Louisville Couries-Journal re-
porter ran into squad of gentlemen
on First street the other day, who SEEM
ed to be engaged in a confab on some
important topic of the day. On APP
preaching them he found that DR..
Goodshaw, one of the city vaccinators,
was the central figure in the group and
that vaccination was the subject under
discussion. The doctor was reciting
the ups and downs of the business, and
explaining the many subterfuses that
were resorted to to escape the oper-
alton, when Uncle Billy Cross, station
keeper, remarked that public vaccination
was accomplished with less trouble and
at much smaller expense when he was
boy than at the present day.
''How did they manage it at that
day." inquired the doctor.
"Well," said Uncle Bill, sit was a
little over fifty years ago, but l remem-
Der very distinctly how the children in
our neighhorhood were vaccinated.
Myself and my younger brother, Frank,
were attending country school in
Clark County, Indiana, and one day
shortly after the school opened in the
early fall, the doctor called at our
house and vaccinated both ofus. Mine
didn't take, but Franks took well.
Frank was quite hero among the
children, and one day he concluded to
play doctor. We were all bare footed
and he went to work and vaccinated
every child in school on the big toe"
Sand what was the RESULT" inquir-
ed the doctor, eagerly"
''It broke up the school," said Uncle
Billy. SIT took in nearly every case,
and made the children so sick that they
had to all go to bed. For two or three
weeks there wasn't hardly a child in
the neighborhood that could walk, and
they had the biggest big toes you ever
saw"
