WASHINGTON, July 14.-Robt. X. Randall,
counsel for the "Credit Industricl," has
been permitted by the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs TO file with the papers
in the Peruvian-Chilian investigation q
sworn statement in the nature Of nm argu-
ment to show that at one time Mr.. Blaine
iavorably received the proposition Of the
"Credit Industriei' TO assume the pay
ment Of the Peruvian war indemnity, and
to utilize the company's "program" re.
storing peace between the belhgerents.
After submitting his proofs upon this point,
which consists mainly Of extracts from the
official correspondence, Mr.. Randall states
his conclusion thus: "This must convince
every fair-minded person Of one OF three
things: Either that Mr.. Blaine, at the time
when it occurred, was, rs we believe him
to be, honestly and earnestly in favor Of
utilizing the programme Of the Credit H.
dustria at all hazards, or that he pushed
the conventional diplomatic license Of mis-
representation beyond all precedent and
example. or that when he testified before
your committee he had utterly forgotten
every material fact connected with his
South American policy"
Mr.. Randalrs statement was to-day ac-
cepted by the committee and made part
Of the record In the above investigation.

Agate Polishing.

Oberstein, a beautiful little town
about two and a half hours distant BY
rail from Kreuznach, is, with its COM
panion village of Idar closely, the
center, of q peculiar and quite important
industry, the grinding and polishing of
agates. These stones are found here in
great abundance, and are also brought
from South America to- be cut. For
centuries past the inhabitants of these
two little towns have been engaged in
this one employment. There are at least
fifty polishing mills on the banks of the
picturesque river that runs through both
villages, and the setting of the agates in
silver and other metals furnishes occu-
patton to nearly one hundred families.
In the shops and Gewerbehalle are in
Vulnerable beautiful specimens Of
agates, cut and uncut, mounted and I'M
mounted. The polishing mills are
small, roughly built wooden houses, one
story high, directly over the river, and
the great grindstones,, worked by water
power, come up through the floor Of the
hovel, for it is nothing better. There
are five or six workmen in each mill
who are obliged to lie down fiat on their
stomachs, holding the agates in their
hands against the rapidly revolving
grindstone. Their faces are close to it,
they must not stir nor turn to the right
nor the left, aud there they lie the day
long, toiling for the merest pit.ance.-

NOstrums-DOn't Buy Them.

Under whatever name they come let
them entirely alone. The peddling, nui-
sance has become almost unbearable.
Half dozen or more times each day is
the housewife called to the door and i'm
portuned to purchase silver plating fluid,
or fire proof powder or some cure all for
every disease, while the farmer at his
work is haunted by the lightning rod fiend
who will put up rod at half price for
the good the farmers name will do him
as purchaser, or an equally smooth talk
ing fellow wants to make him agent for
some very quick selling farm implement
on which the commissions are very large,
and if bargain is concluded and an
order given mayhap the farmer soon finds
apote in the bank over his signature, equal
to the amount of the order. And these
parasites continue to harass the whole
wear around until every one who does not
want to be duped or swindled feels like
loading his gun. The only safe way is to
put your foot down solidly. pay no money
for peddled nostrums, give no orders to
any man you do not know will do as
agreed, and put off your premises all the
ieeches who go around offering some
thing for nothing.
A firm in Pennsylvania offer to farmers
and gardeners "the vitative compound
or seed and plant "invigorater," purely
chemical and patented. 1t is put up
in little boxes, price 81 each, and con-
tains less than two ounces of a mixture
of sulphate of zinc, acetate of lead and
alum, costing in the drug store two or
three cents. L.
DR.. Kedzie justly queries what posi-
bic influence white vitrol, sugar of lead
and alumina can have on vegetable ger
mination and development. They form
no part in the chemicals of agriculture.
But credulity is large in the rural
makeup and very likely these vendors
will find plenty of purchasers.-DetroA

Utilizing Land.

Throughout most of central Europe,
where land is dear and holders have but
few acres, every foot of ground is utilized.
Fruit trees are planted by the farmers
and cottagers with judicious care and
discrimination in their fields and gardens.
In an ordinary season they gather an
abundance of luscious fruit, not only
enough to supply their ordinary wants
but also to send large quantities to
market, from which they realize an ac-
ceptable addition to their income. This
is all done without losing square inch
of ground that could be devoted profit
ably to any other food crop. The trees
are planted along roadsides, on the
margin of the fields, in the hedgerows,
and other odd places and corners, where
they occupy ground that cannot be con-
veniently cultivated. OF course, land is
cheaper here, but still it would be wise
measure for every owner of land to plant
trees along the roadside and In every
suitable place for them to grow; If not
fruit trees, forest trees, walnut trees,
mulberry trees, or any kind of tree may
in time be useful for some purpose. we
are too careless and prodigal, and there,
fore lose many of our advantages, and
too frequently fail to make the best of
ouropportunities.-San francisco Ciaro'-
