The Tennessee Ronds.

W. l. udls
The financial officers of the State of
Tennessee are receiving the old bonds
for exchange at rooms ID and 16, MOI
Nassau street. The following receipt
is given to holders: This certi6es that
name has deposited with us num-
ber par value of the bonds of the
State Of Tennessee, to-wit descrip
toni with unpaid coupons amounting
to amount which had matured on or
before January |, 1882, for the pur-
pose of having the same funded under
the act of the General Assembly of the
State of Tennessee, passed May 10,
1882, and approved May 20, 1882. In
exchange for which we hereby prom
Use to deliver on the surrender Of this
receipt new compromise bonds of the
State of Tennessee, in accordance with
the provisions of said act, to the
amount of 60 per cent of the face val
ue Of the bonds and said past due cou-
pons, or if the same are not found cor
rect, to return said bonds and coupons
in lieu thereof. (Signed) James M.
Nolan, Comptroller; M. K. Polk,
Treasurer"
The new bonds will be issued in de-.
nominations of $1,000 and $500, Tea
per cent must be in $500 bonds, but
any creditor can have az many $500
bonds as he may choose to take over
the amount Axed by law. Fractional
amounts needed to make q full bend
will be paid in currency.
Comptroller Nolan said this morn
ing, that about s1ah,00O had been
received, including the holdings of
some prominent houses, and that all
the creditors whom he had seen ap-
poared to be satisfied with the mode
of settlement. The new bonds are
not engraved, and the receipts are
given simply for convenience in max
ing up accounts, order Of exchange,
etc. 1t will take sixty days to ex
change the entire loan, and the bonds
are now being received as last as they
can be handled. Mr.. Kelly, the
| chairman of the bondholders' com
mittee, has not appeared, SO that hi:
views Of the settlement cannot be
obtained. The July coupon will Ger.
tainly be paid, but not until after The
new bonds are issued, which viii
probably be about September l.
Some prominent holders expires,
dissatisfaction with this method o.
exchange, saying that they shoulC
prefer to keep the bonds in their OWL
hands. They are doubtful as Il
whether the measure will stand befor,
the next Legislature. Others, how
ever, say that it is not probable thai
the measure will be repealed, as 1
leading Democratic politician in Ten
nessee recently said, that the credit o.
the measure should be given to tn,
Republicans. The Democrats mus
take the matter in hand at the fall
convention, and see that the debt il
paid.

COLONEL A. S. Colyar, whose name
was prominent as the probable nominee
for Governor before the late conven-
ton, supports General Bate very
heartily, but said in speech Satur
day night, at Nashville, that he would
scratch the platform. What kind of
a platform he could stand upon was
not announced before the convention
met or afterward. The World charges
that he is disappointed because he was
not nominated for Governor himself,
which leads the American Of yester
day to disclose this piece Of confidence
to the public:

that the writer pays any attention to
these malicious asSailants, but In this
case he may be justified,
The writer had agreed with mum
Der of his friends that, in certain
event, he would be candidate.
Judge Morgan, Judge Patterson,
Col. Du Bose, Col. Minor Merriwether,
Col. Looney. with most of the leading
men from Memphis, were among his
friends. In the delegation of David
son county a large number of the
delegates had indicated q desire for
him to run.
In East Tennessee he was assured
of all but two counties, after their
local candidates were out of the way
Indeed, he had every reason to be.
lieve he could be nominated, and had
consented, if the platform suited.
Immediately after the platform was
adopted, numerous friends came and
asked him what he was going to do
among the rest Governor Marks,
Moses Priest, Colonel Looney and
Judge Morgan-to all Of whom he
instantly replied that he would not, in
any event, be candidate, and at no
time did he leave without having some
one instructed to withdraw his name
if it should be mentioned.
The writer gave to all the same
reason, to-wit: that he saw no chance
to settle the debt upon this platform,
and this object out of the way. he bad
no desire to be Governor. We refer
to this matter reluctantly, bat the
business nature of the attack in the
World, perhaps justiGeS it.
1t was hardly to be expected that
twelve or fourteen hundred delegates
could all have their personal views
embodied in one platform, hence
Colonel Colyar finds himself among
others not exactly suited down to thu
dotting Of every :" F." and the crossing

he supports General Bate, the regular
nominee, and will contribute largely
by faithful work to his election in No

What sWlfe' Means.

Says Ruskin: "What do you think the
beautiful word wife comes fsom?" It is
tho preat word in which the Engliss and
Latin languages conquered the French and
Greek. I hope the French will some day
get word for it instead Of that femme.
But what do you think it comes from? The
great value of the Saxon words is that they
mean something. Wife means weaver.
You must either be house. wives or house.
moths, remember that. In the deep sense
you must either weave mems fortunes and
embroider them, or feed upon and bring
them to decay. Wherever q true wife
comes, home is always around her. The
stars may be over her head, the glow worm
in the nights cold grass may be the fire at
her feet. but home is where she il, and for
q noble woman it stretches far around her,
better than houses ceiled with cedar or
painted with vermilion-shedding its quie.
light for those who else are homeless. This.
believe, is the woman's true place and
power."

The Cultivation Of Onious.

Theis vegetable in little fastidious about
it's soil, and feeding. Mechanical condition
goes for much if you want maximum crop.
A heavy clay soil will not answer at all.
The plant starts from small seed, and makes
q bulb of two to four inches in diameter by
the last Of August. It wants an carly start,
and to this end should have q well drained
sandy loan that can be worked the last of
March. The sooner after April LIST, in this
latitude, the seed is in the better. The seed
should be rolled or trodden with the 3od
at planting, quite hard. The delay of SOW
ing is dangerous. The land should be as
nearly level as possible to prevent all wash
ing. and to facilitate the labor of cleaning
the crop Of weeds. It also must be cleared
of small stones, to reduce the labor bills to
minimum. Much labor has been expended
every spring in raking coarse, gravelly soil
to get it ready for the seed. In smooth,
sandy loan, such as is often found in our
river bottoms, it is easy to SOW the seed in
straight lines, and most of the cultivation
can be down with the tools specially adapted
to this crop. We have then, in short, AS q
receipt for this dish of onions, three parts
good stable manure, and plenty of it applied
every year; three parts seasonable and
through cultivation. with no weed allowed to
20 to seed; one part good sandy loan; and
cheap freight to a good mar
ket. With these conditions, any smart,
thrifty farmer can raise onions, and make
money. Another point is thorouRhness of
wedding the crop in May, June, July, and
August. As soon as the onion tops are
enough in sight to mark the rows. the push
hoe, or onion weeder, is started, and every
weed that is not destroyed by the tools
is pulled with the fingers. Absolute clean
Illness is indispensable to success in this
crop. Three or four days neglect in the
season is often fatal; the weeds grow so
fast, and the richer the soil, and the more
favorable the season, the greater is the
peril Of the onion crop. Those who pro-
pose to undertake this crop should under.
stand at the outset that strict attention
during the whole period of cultivation is
imperative. The weeds are robbers, and
must be exterminated without regard to
cost. No crop pays better for early and
constant attention. Absolute cleanliness
will soon reduce the weed crop SO as to
make it easily manageable. IF land, pro-
posed for this crep, is foul with wild carrot,
charlock, or other weeds, it will save much

To DairymeD.

The tendency of the times indicates an
era that will demand better grade of but
tor than is produced in the diaries. Al.
ready there is such marked difference in
regard to price and demand for creamery.
compared with the best dairy products, as
to warrant the prediction of great changes
in the system of production in the near
future. We give an extract from the Ohio
Farmer bearing on the question:
If the dairyman will stop and take con-
siderate thought, he will readily see that
the conservatism of the past in dairying
will be a ruinous practice If continued very
much longer, and that revolution must
come, of a necessity. Year by year the
public taste becomes more cultivated, and
the finer grades of butter and cheese more
sought after, and, as time passes, the diff
ference in price between good butter and
poor butter shows fast widening tendency.
To-day the quotations show that very good
creamery butter brings 43 cents, and state
diaries 80 cents-a difference of IA cents,
while the poorest of creamery butter brings
Is cents-the very price that fair butter {the
great bulk of the dairy butter) is quoted
at.
The question is, then, can the farmer
even this very day afford to feed his stock
and make butter and sell it for eleven cents
less than the same amount Of cream made
up on the creamery plan would bring? In
other words, two diaries Of ten cows each,
MIXED and cared for exactly alike, one
dairy no better than the other; the butter
of one made home, 1900 lbs, would bring
$500; the cream of the other dairy sent to
the creamery, would, for like number of
pounds, return $500 more, or 5000 diff
ference of 1870, figured at present prices).
This is discrimination that NO farmer
can afford to submit to; hence the newt
able will be to adopt the more progressive
methods, and make an article that the pub.
lie want and are willing to pay for.
This opens up entirely new field of op-
erations, and to meet the demands there
must be gradual shifting Of conditions.
The dairyman of the future cannot afford
to make both butter and cheese, and his
highest profit will be in making exclusively
the one or the other, and making the very
best article possible. The lesson already
is that the two distinctive features of dairy
ing require COWS of different breeds. No
man can afford to send the milk of dairy
of even grade Jerseys or Attorneys to
cheese factory, much less send the milk
highly charged with casaine, and especially
adapted to the manufactur of cheese, Of
his famous milking dairy of Holsteins, to
butter factory; for to do either would re-
suit in loss of material that would always
operate against large results.

Forty Degrees Rasow Zero.

In the best Of even our modern houses it is
impossible to have anything like perfect ventil-
alton, with the mercury ranging from 20 to 40
degrees below zero, without rendering the
