VIII the cow pea SO much used In the Southern
States as a crop TO improve land grow in this part

mulch OF straw during the summer would do it
good. / cannot afford TO cover il with manure. Do
Ohio.
Ans It is probable that the orchard wants
draining. A covered drain in the center OF
each row of trees would tend TO make the
ground retain more moisture during summer.
Straw is good mulch, but we have Stunned it
for that purpose since seeing our orchard thus
covered destroyed by some one setting the
straw or FIRE.

AN ANGRY TREE.
Carnal Behavior of All Australian Veg
etabIe

Carnal Behavior of All Australian Veg
{ etabIe
From the Virginia New Enterprise.
A gentleman of this place has a tree which
is species of acacia. 1t was grown from a
tree bromght from Australia. The tree is
now sappling some eight feet in height, and
it is in full foliage and growing rapidly. 1t is
leguminous, and very distinctly shows the
characteristics of the mimosa or sensitive
plant. Regularly every evening, about the
time the chickens go to the roost," the tree
goes to roost. The leaves fold together, and
the ends OF the tender twigs coil themselves
up like the tail of aforementioned pig.
After one of the twigs had been stroked or
handled the leaves move uneasily, and are IN
sort of mild commotion for a minute or
more. All this was known about the tree,
but it was only yesterday that it was discover
ed that the tree had in it much more life and
feeling than it had ever before been credited
with. The tree being in quite small pot,
one which 1t had fast outgrown, ii was thought
best to give it one of much larger size. Yes
terday afternoon the tree was transferred TO
its new quarters. 1t resented the operation of
its removable the best of its ability.
Arriving at his residence about the time the
tree had been transplanted, the gentleman
found the house in grand commotion. On
asking what was up he was told that they had
transplanted the tree according to orders, and
the operation had ''made it very mad"
Hardly had it been placed in its new quar-
tiers before the leaves began to stand up in all
directions like ihe hair on the tail of an angry
cat, and soon the whole plant was in quivei.
This could have been endured, but al
the same time it gave out an odor most pun
gent and siCkening-just such smell as is
given off by rattlesnakes and many other
kinds of snakes in summer when leased
This odor SO filled the house and was SO sick
enng that it was found necessary to open the
doors and windows. Itwas fully an hour be-
fore the plant Gained down and folded It's
leaves in peace. 1t would probably not have
given up the fight even then had it not been
that its time for going to rooSt had arrived.

SOCIALISM IN AUSTRIA.
Society i'm Every Part of the Empire
Greatly DemoraliZed.


Greatly DemoraliZed.
Though little has ever been published about
the socialist propaganda in Austria, it is very
forward. Society in every part OF the empire,
country as well as city, and in every walk in
life, has become greatly demoralzed. "The
misery and poverty existing in Vienna" says
one. passes description. Thousands are
homeless, thousands live from hand to mouth,
day after day" And yet enormous sums are
spent annually for the relief of the poor
Within the last ten years the neceSsaries Of life
have risen steadily in price, trade is stagnant,
manufacturers are reducing forces ard farmers
complain that their crops do not return the in
terest on the invested capital. The lower
orders, moreover, have been exposed to sys-
tematic decentralization openly carried on
Penny literature, setting forth the pleasures oil
vice in the most glowing colors, abounds. and
religion and the clergy are publicly reviled
Add to all these circumstances oppressive tax
alton and the devouring of vast amounts o.
public money by sinecures, and it will be seer
that socialism has fertile soil in which tc
grow. In consequence of all this tide o
emigration has set in toward America, which
the Austrian government is doing its best to
stop.

The Battle Before Atlanta.
From the GIobe-Democrat.


Washington, ID. c., January 1.-The some
what vague allusion by Senator Logan in his
opening speech in the Fitz John Porter case
to the battle fought without an order from the
commanding officer has created some discus
sion among officers in Sherman army, and it
appears that they understand perfectly what
the occasion referred to was. Gen. Logan,
when asked about it, simply said, ''See Sher-
mans reports" and Sherman, when asked
about it, said, mo doubt Logan is well forli-
fled with authorities" but disclaimed dis
tnct recollection of the specific day when
great battle was fought within his direction.
II was considered somewhat curious that both
Logan and Sherman should manifest such
aversion 10 discuss the matter more distinctly
than was embodied in the senator's speech.
1t seems that there is a personal ground for
retcence, and that ii is a subject which must
needs be handled with great delicacy by these
two gentlemen, in view Of personal aSSocia-
tons arising from the occurrences of the day
in question. Upon very high authority il
may be stated that the day referred to by Lo-
gan in his speech, was the 32d OF July, 1854,
when the
BLoODIEST BATTLE BEFORE ATLANTA
was fought and Mcpherson killed. In this
IohhCSuOh q IhluinSbeHCC IL ICldtCu
shows why it is that Logan and Sherman
speak so carefully and indistinctly about this
memorable day. 1t is said that on that night,
near IL O'Clock, Logan withdrew from the
field, accompanied by two OF three staff Off
GERS and went to Sherman's headquarters, a
few miles distant. He related to Sherman
the occurrences of the day, and asked orders
for the operations of the 23d. After he had
told his story, Sherman complimented him in
the highest terms for what he had done
and told him he should command
the army OF the Tennessee, which consisted of
his oWn corps and two others. The order,
however, for him to take command was never
written, and from that day until the 27th, or
hive days, Logan commanded the army by
seniority. On the 27th, however, General
Howard was introduced as commanding oflcer
of the army of the Tennessee, and the supe-
rior OF Logan and the other corps COM
manders. That midnight promise, given and
broken by Sherman, ending as it did in all
the bitterness, heart burnings and hatreds be-
tween the officers of West Point and the vol
unteers, is the key to their respective silence
with reference to the battle without orders.

THE ST. ALyANs Trust COMPANY AGAIN,

We referred yesterday to the fact that IN
the report of the St. Albans Trust com
pany the loans ON first mortgages OF
real estate in this State are given
at S02, G0S.S3, and the loans On
pers 1nal security at $369,S10.59, wn.lc Il
foot-notc says: Corrected classification {:
Loans on first mortgages of real estate
in this Stac, SEQ, 0S4.09 loans on personal
security, s436 4O3 49,"
Th fact is, it now appears, the erroneous
classiticati IN dates back ten years, and was
made by Mr. Bnrgcss's predecessor as treas
urer of the company and the mistake has
been lerpetuatei in each succeeding
report. l. was, however, Of no prac-
tical CO sequence. as the SGG,OOO er-
roncously entered among the loans

can not help thinking, however, That ten
years is long time Tor such al error 10 be
perp .tua,ed. Ii this connection we may
add though the fact is probably well known
to all our readers-ihat the treasurer, Mr..
Burgess is in not the slightest measure re
sponsible for the present condition of the

made all the loans, of any consequence, and
10 all inlents and purposes was himself the
