(2) 1t is certainly true that much loss
has resulted from the lnjltdiciOuS use O.
commercial fertilizers. Too large a
quantity has been used in MANY cases
with very imperfect preparation and cul
ture; or without reference to the special
demands of the soil or crop.

suggests the correct solution of the cues
ton. The facility with which fertilizers
can be bought on a credit. the small
amount of labor required to apply them,
and the extraordinary fertilizing effect
OF comparatively small amount Gin
weight, not in cost, has encouraged most
farmers to rely too much upon CONNER

general principles of good farming They

Those farmers whose success in farm.

Justly attribute that success to their re

TREMoR OF GREAT ORATORS. Luther
to his last years, trembled when he en-
tered the pulpit. The same was true OF
Robert Hall. Mr.. Cough contesses that
he is always in a tremor in coming before
an audience. Many of the leaders of the
House of Commons in England have given
similar testimony Canning said he
could always tell in advance when he was
about to make one of the best speeches,
by chill running through him caused
by a fear of failure. Lord Derby. the
father of the present Earl, hel a young
man, was one of the most impressive
speakers in Parliament. He was known
as the " Prince Rupert of debate and
seemed so self-possessed as to be incapable
OF embarrassment. But he said when
am going to speak my throat and lips are
as dry as those of a man who is going to
be hanged. Tierney, whom Lord Ma
caulay called one of the most fluent de-
baters ever known, said he never rose in
Parliament without feeling his knees

The Bourbon Mule Team i'm Virginia.

Tho Bourbon Mule Team in Virginia.
The only Republicans in Virginia who
are on bad terms with General Malone
and other Coalitonists are the same little
squad that worked and voted for Daniel,
the Bourbon candidate for governor last
year. But Daniel was beaten by 10000
majority. This year the same brassy
malcontents are telling what wonderful
things they are going to do. They are 60
ing to abandon the coalition! Why, the
coalition sent them bowling to their
holes last November, and has been
marching on ever since. So signal was
the rout of the Bourbons and their
Straightout allies that they have never
rallied since. This year a renegade Re-
adjuster and a negro Bourbon are con-
tending with each other for the Bour-
bon debt-paying vote. Massey and his
Big Four are trying to frighten
Democratic Readjusters away from the
coalition because it has indorsed Re-
publican administration. But they are
laughed to scorn by the farmers of the
Valley and the Southwest, nearly all of
whom were confederates, and who are
enthusiastic in their support of Wise and
the administration. Dawson and Dezen-
dorf, with few professional negroes, and
few discharged navy-yard employees, are
trying to break down the coalition be-
cause, although in accord with Re-
publican administration, it still is not Re-
publican enough. Thus we see one wing
of the Bourbons fighting the coalition
IN the ground that it is Republican, and
the other wing fighting It because it is
not. The 10000 majority of last year
has no significance for these Bour-
bons, who never learn and
never forget They have gained
the "Big Four" and lost so many in
exchange that no regular Democrat dares
to take their nomination. Instead of
putting up race horse to contend for the
Congressional plate they are belaboring
mule team, consisting Of Dawson and
Massey, in vain endeayor to get their
damaged wagon out ofthe mire. The Bour-
bon organs in Virginia which swallow
Massey do SO with an exceedingly wry
face, while the great national organ of the
Bourbons here endcavors to keep up the
spirits of its Virginia readers by pretend
ing to have furtive interviews with negro
statesmen from that much-readjusted
Comm onwealth, VINO are left over in the
Departments as mementoes of what it
was wont to call Radical carpet-bag rule"
Shades Of departed Democratic pride and
power! Old Virginia Bourbonism I'M
bending TO listen to words of hope from
alleged renegade Republican negroes,
who promise Bourbon restoration
through the conpivance of handful OF
soreheaded Radical carpct-baggers" and
a small band Of feeble negro politicians.

ing In dishing up such food for its anti
quated Virginia friends. But how will it

The great ferry between Europe and America is
getting to be more and more like an ordinary river
ferry in the regularity and certainty with which
the steamers cross the ocean, and efforts are now
being directed to n still further reduction of the
time of the passage. 1t is said that two vessels
are to be built next year in England for the ex-
press purpose of carrying passengers, and de-
signed to make the voyage from Liverpool to New
York in six days. There are steamers now that
conditions The new ships are to be fitted to do 1t
with n fair degree of certainty. There is another
ried out for the reduction of the time
of water passage-the organization of u
combined line of railroads and steamships,
the latter serving as ferry boats between ex-
treme points of land, and making the passage in
about three or four days. Travellers who do not
like sea voyages could then travel by rail from
Philadelphia or New York to Newfoundland,

A Mississippi Straightout.

Mr.. Hannibal G. Carter, colored Mis-
sissippi Republican of note and ability,
has announced hims elf as an Independ-
ent candidate for Congress in the second
Mississippi district, in which General
Chalmers, another Independent, has al
ready been indorsed by regular Republi-
can convention. Mr. Carter is out with
an address, in which he finds fault with
the party at large. His quarrel should be
with the Republicans of the second dis
trict. They are, for the most part, men
Of his own race. Why should he
complain if they see fit to join hands
with old enemies in tearing down
the Bourbon King? Is he so much
pleased with the result of the past eight
years that he must enter the field to prove
the implacability of a portion of his race ?
Can they redress their wrongs under the
existing order of things? If not, can new
friends be found anywhere except among
the Democrats? And, ifamong the Demo-
Gratis, why not Chalmers? Or is the negro
safer under Bourbon rule than he would
beunder power he helped to create? We
hope the Republicans will not suffer
themselves to be divided by Mr. Carters
fine heroics If he had been first in the
field and indorsed by the Republican
party we should hope to see the party as
firmly united for him as we now hope to
see it united against him and in favor OF
the candidate who has any hope of sue
cess against the Bourbons.
