In advance of my regular circular, call at
tention OF farmers to the fine results gained ia
all parts of the county of Augusta, and the
neighboring districts of Rockingham and
Rockbridge counties, last year, by the use of
IerIn2ers ana, by reading the annexed GER
tlficates, you Will find that a number of farm
ers last year tried my Fertilizers by the side of
other articles costing S. to $40 more per ton
with results in favor of mine. The reason of
this is easily explained by recalling the fact
that those goods were sold to the farmers by
agents of a Baitmo or Richmond manufac-
turer. who make a profit OF S. to 81 per ton, af-
ter the manufacturer has already scored his
profit of s. to $40 per ton. This year deal ers
disposed to dodge the question OF results, and
rely on the false valuation placed on their
goods by the state chemist. That all these Fer.
tilizers can be bought on the market at much
lower prices than that put on them by the State
Chemist, shows his valuations to be incorrect
and in fact his entire theory is without foun-
dalton, as theOnly articles he considers in ma
king up his statements, are Soluble Phospho.
rio Acid, Ammonia ard Potash. These articles
in the very soluble state are taken up by the
land in the first or second month after sowing;
and the great advantage of my Fertilizer over
others is the solid work it has done in the fill
ing out of the O rain. More than half the valu-
able ingredients used in my Fertilizers are not
considered in his table. Another proof Of the
incorrectnesS OF this report is the fact that b.
puts the best articles OF Bone Meal at less than
$40 per ton; tnis he fails 10 carry out in his col
umn, well knowing that this statement would
not stand inspection.
Farmers, are you buying fertilizers to please
high priced agents, and State Chemists, &C.. or
are you buying for best results in the Wheat
field for amount of money expended? When
any dealer attempts to under rate my fertii-
zers, ask him to show such results as can
show in the following certificates of farmers
who used my Fertilizers last season. We claim
the following advantages -:
|. The best drilling goods in the market
2, Manufactured at home and sold direct TO
farmers without any profit to the middle
man.
3. Better results for amount of money expeDd-
ed, having last year, as usual. beaten many
articles costing S TO $40 more per Ton.

A few weeks ago an account was
published in the TELEGRAPH Of Alex
ander Mitchell, the Milwaukee million
aire, leaving that city for Florida in a
splendid palace car, his private prop
erty. Mr.. Mitchell lately, on his return
from Florida, took the city of Washing
ton in his route. The Washington
Sunday Herald gives some pleasant
and complimentary recollectlons OF
Mr.. Mitchell while he was member
of Congress in 1874; he was a modest
man and comparatively unknown dnr-
ing his first winter at the National
capital. A friend of Mr.. Mitchell con-
trived to bring him into notice as fol-
lows:
"This friend went to the Office of
the Washington Chronicle and had a
paragraph printed merely giving the
amount of Mr.. Mitchell's wealth. Then
he went up in the reporters gallery
and pointed out Mr.. Mitchell as one of
the great financiers of the West. Moth
ing attracts so much attention as re-
putation for enormous wealth. In a
few days Mr.. Mitchell became one of
the celebrities of the House"

THE AGES OF PRESIDENTS.

The occurrence of President Arthur's
birthday suggests q glance at the ages
of the other twenty presidents. Death
has made four presidents, John Tyler
in 1841, when he was 81; Willard Fill
more in 1850, when he was 90; Andrew
Johnson in 1865, when he was 81; and
Chester A. Arthur in 1881, when he
was 81. Of the four presidents who
have died in Office, Garfield was the
youngest when inaugurated, being but
so; Harrison died month after his
Inauguration in 1841, at 90; General
Taylor sixteen months after his inau-
guration in 1849, at SO; and Lincoln
four years and little more than a
month after his first inauguration in
1881, at Sc.
Washington was So when first in
augurated ninety three years ago; John
Adams, the first college-b bred President,
was 81 when inaugurated; Thomas
Jefferson, who was educated at the
College of William and Mary and in
range of knowledge is thought to COM
pare favorably with Burke, was So;
James Madison, graduate Of Prince
ton, was So; James Monroe, who left
the College of William and Mary to
join the Revolutionary Army, was SO;
John Quincy Adams, who, like John
Adams, was Harvard graduate, was
So; Andrew Jackson was 81; Martin
Van Buren, was 55; James X. Polk,
who graduated at the University of
North Carolina. was so; Franklin
Pierce, who graduated at Bowdoin
College, was 40; James Buchanan, a
graduate of Dickinson College, was Sc;
Gen. Grant, the only man West Point
has trained for the White House, was
Al, and Rutherford B. Hayes, was IS.
Thirteen of the Presidents, including
Garfield. a graduate of Williams Col
lege, and Arthur, who graduated at
Union College in 1848, have been col
lege-bred men, but they reached the
goal of their ambition no earlier in
life than the Presidents whose educa-
ti0nal advantages were more limited,
President Harrison graduated at
Hampden Sidney College, and Presi-
dent Tyler at the College of William
and Mary.
Gen. Grant was the youngest of the
Presidents at the time of Inauguration,
although he is now about six months
older than ex-President Hayes, and
eight and half older than President |
Arthur. If he lives as long as the cid |
er Adams, he has almost thirty years
before him. Five Presidents have
lived more than eighty years, John !
Adams dying at 80, Jefferson at So, |
Madison at IS. John @. Adams at 81 |
and Van Buren, at 80. Polk is the only
President who died a natural death at |
less than 60 years of age, reaching but |
81. Lincoln was cut off at Sc and Gar
field at 81. The former would be but |
70 were he now living. 1t is evident |
that the Office of Chief Executive is |
not unfavorable to longeYity.-N. 7.

lp. The time was when females as

help. The time was when females as
well as males sought to be producers; ;
young women in every household ii
the northern states were trained to
domestic employments. The mother
who had one or more grown-up daugh-
tiers would have never thought it ne
cessity to employ extra female help
unless herself and family were disabled
by sickness. Times have wonderfully
changed. A large per cent. of the fe-
males of this country are to day nom
producers they add nothing to the gen.
eral stock of the nations wealth; they
subsist on the incomes of others. To
wash and iron, scrub and do the do
nestle duties of the kitchen, is turned
over to that indispensable appendage
of the family, the hired girl" Fifty
years ago girls belonging to families of
excellent standing frequently went out
to service to earn little pocket money,
when an opportunity of that sort pre-
sented; by so doing they did not lose
caste in good society. But in these
later times there are young women
who would about as soon drown them
selves in Lake Michigan as do kitchen
work away from home for compensa-
ton. The Neao York Tribune has
some excellent suggestions on this sub
ject:
Inasmuch as the cry all over the
land is for domestic servants, it seems
a pity that our consuls should not be
instructed to let it be known in the
countries to which they are accredited
how great and unceasing is this de.
mand, how inadequate the supply and
how splendid the remuneration. 1t
should be made known that an un-
trained girl receives here wages such
as the most accomplished and valuable
woman could not command in Ger
many or Scandinavia, while a really
efficient and steady person may obtain
remuneration unheard Of there"

MORMONLSM REVIVED.

The notable event of the past week
has been the meeting of Mormons at
Kirkland, Ohio, claiming to be the regu-
lar church, as founded by Joseph Smith.
They are anti-polygamists, and main
tain that polygamy is no part of the
faith of that church as originally es-
tablished. Between forty and fifty
years ago strong Mormon settlement
existed at Kirkland, and large temple
was there erected. & Since then Nor
mons at that place have been much
scattered and the temple dilapidated.
More recently the anti-polygamy Nor
mons have been collecting at Kirkland,
and the temple is being put in repair.
There were 500 Mormons in attendance
at the late meeting.

STUDY OF THE LAW

1t is surprising how many young
men are pursuing the study Of the law
with the view of making that profess
sion a business. In all the academies
and higher institutions of learning far
more students are making the law
their ultimate aim than any other call
ing. This is the more strange inasmuch
as no other profession is so largely
overstocked as the law; yet as patent
as this fact is, young men continue to
come almost in droves into the law
ranks. Is this desire for the legal pro-
fession based on the belief litigation
will increase as the world grows older
and better educatedp Is it not reason
able to conclude that, with the advance
ment Of general intelligence, suits at
law viii be diminished The follow
ing statement appears in one of our
leading metropolitan journals, giving
the proportion of lawyers to popula
ton:
In Germany, one to every $500;
in France, one to every 1900, while in
America there is lawyer to every 500
OF us, and they are growing in numbers
faster than the Nation is growing in
population"

a LARGE CROP OF CITIES

During the past session of the legis-
lature there has been wonderful in
crease of Incorporated cities in this
state. Villages, it is said, that have
not over two hundred and fifty voters,
applied for and obtained city charters.
This enlarges the number of honor
ables in the state. The idea associated
with a city mayor is, he looks we'll fed,
rather corpulent and dignified, and
withal he is supposed to be @ good pre-
siding officer. Mayors are often called
upon to preside at public meetings
this involves the study of Jefferson's
Manual, or some later authority on
parliamentary rule.
1t is said this sudden stampede of so
many villages to become cities was ow-
ing to recent decision of the Supreme
Court, which DISTINGUISHES the electors
OF a village from voting for town off,
GERS, and makes them ineligible to hold
town offices, thus divorcing the town
ship and village for voting purposes.

ENGLAND AND IRELAND.

The Irish question is assuming a
serious aspect, and there is danger the
deliverance of Ireland from its COM
planned wrongs will be set back dec
ade. The dynamite party" SO called,
whatever may have been its origin,
mistakes the true line of policy for OBJ
tanning redress for an oppressed peo-
pie. 1t seems hardly possible that
there thould be found on this side the
Atlantic any considerable number of
respectable persons who would endorse
the following from the Irish World,
published in New York city, on the
explosion at the Government Offices in
London:
eff an armed instruction were the
only way of working upon these ENG
land's) fears, gloomy indeed would be
the outlook for the Irish cause. But.
thanks to recent scientific discoveries,
the Irish people have it in their power
to strike England telling blow when
ever they chose to do so. If this argu-
ment (the explosion) be followed by
other arguments just as pointed. Eng
land before many years will be glad to
let 60 her hold of Ireland. Bring
along that 54-pound nitro-glycerine
siege gun and let them have success
sion of dynamitical earthquakes along
the banks of the Thames"
The Milwaukee Sentinel comments
on the above utterances of the World
as follows:
"This passage is direct Indictment
to such enterprises as those with
which Whitehead, Dalton, Wilson,
Gallagher and Norman are charged.
Leading members of the Parnell party
have, in the strongest language, ex-
pressed their disapprobation of such
attempts. Michael Davitt has followed
A. M. Sullivan in pointing out to the
Irish people the folly and the wick
edness of such a course, which, If per-
sisted in, will alienate the sympathies
of the whole civilized world. 1t is
puerile to suppose that England can
be frightened into relaxing her hold
on Ireland by a few sporadic dynamite
explosions, however destructive they
may be. If the Parliament House and
Windsor Castle could be blown into
the air tomorrow, the deed would only
intensity the grip of England, and lead
to stern and remorseless reprisals. 1t
would unite the English aristocracy
and democracy in common hostility
against everything bearing the Irish
name. The Irish leaders in Ireland
and England who are lifting their
voices against these mad and barbar-.
GUS enterprises, are showing the m;
selves truer patriots than their COON
try men on this side the Atlantic, who,
at a safe distance, are calling for sue
cesssion of dynamitical earthquakes
along the Thames"

d RIVAL WHEAT COUNTRY.

1t may perhaps be matter of inter
est to western wheat growers TO notice
the statement below in respect to the
cheapness of that product in India. 1t
may not be as alarming to our Ameri-
can interests as some suppose, still it is
worth considering.
A dangerous rival of the United
States in the production of wheat is
growing up in India. It is said that
already it has lowered the price of
grain in the worlds markets by from
10 to Is per cent. at least, thus reduc-
ing the profits of the western farmer.
Wheat sells in the interior of India for
about Is cents bushel, or one-third to
one-fourth the cost of raising it in Da-
kota, and high freight charges to the
sea-cOast are all that prevent his grain
from hopelessly undertaking ours, as
water carriage is only 6 or cents a
bushel more from Calcutta than New
York. AS India has 100000 acres
on which wheat is grown-a surface
one-half as large as that now seeded
down in this country-yielding 24O,-
100000 bushels, and as much more
which can be put under the plow. all
the needs of England can be supplied
by her. All that is needed is English
capital to build railroads. It is not
surprising, under. these circumstances,
that government loan of $3.50, 600, 900
for this purpose is strongly urged in
India and England as the simplest and
most direct way of making England
independent of any other power for
its food supply. Such change would
work as sudden changes in our domes-
tic agriculture as the development of
steam and machinery in England did
in our domestic manufactures forty
years ago.
