 Opinion of Dr. Mott, late government chemist, on Allcock's Porous Plaster: My investigation of Allcocks Porous Plaster shows it to contain valuable and essential ingredi- ents not found in any other plaster. These ingredients are so perfectly proportioned that the Allcock's Porous Plaster will not cause blisters or excessive irritation, and I find it superior to and more efficient than any other plaster.

Something New Under the Sun
A new erea is dawning upon women.
Hitherto she has been called upon to
suffer the illsof mankind and her own
besides. The frequent and Distress
ing irregularities peculiar to her sex
have long been to her the "direful
spring of woes unnumbered." In the
mansion of the rich and howell of pow.
erty alike woman has been the con-
slant yet patient victim of a thousand
ills unknown to man-and without a
remedy. "Oh Lord, how long!' in
the agony of her soul, hath she cried.
But now the hour of her redemption
is come. She will suffer no more, for

The local editor of the Tronton
Globe, after putting up a piteous
plant for the ginger cakes and beer
of the fathers, now wants an editor
to keep him awake and do his work
for him. We begin to have some hope
for that young man. He is learning.
He has already, found out that his
paper needs an editor. If he will
throw his beer away, and rustic
around and get up some local news,
he may succeed yet. He has our
sympathy and best wishes.

Messrs. Lawes d Gilbert, of Eng
land, in their experiments, found
that heavily MANFRED soils retained
to the depth of 36 inches many tons
more of water than adjoining lands
not so heavily MANFRED. And in ex-
periments with the spade it was found
that where the soil was dug up to
the depth of Is inches, and heavily
MANFRED, the crop did not suffer
drouth, although the crop on the adj
joining plots were all dried up. Law.
es q Gilbert also found that when
the manure was heavily applied, and
turned over to a good depth, the wa.
ter did not 60 through to the drains
nearly so rapidly as on land not so
heavily MANFRED or so deeply culti>
waited. In both cases, where there
was large percentage of vegetable
matter in the soil, it acted as a sponge,
retaining much of the water which
soils differently constructed allowed
to pass through. Drouths we can not
prevent, and it behooves us to guard
against their injurious effects to the
best of our ability. To this end the
land should be MANFRED highly, cul
tivated as deeply as the depth of the
soil will allow, and plenty of muck
or vegetable matter, in the form of
green crops, added to the soil.

THE LOTTERY CASE.
The Postmaster-General Files His Pleas
DENYING the Allegations of the Plaintiff

The Postmaster-General Files His Pleas
Denying the Allegations of the Plaintiff:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-In the case of the
manager of the New Orleans Lottery Com
pany against the Postmaster-general,a action for
100000 damages, in issuing an order to pre-
vent the delivery of letters addressed to him,
ETC., the Postmaster-general to-day filed, by
Solicitor-general Phillips his pleas. He
pleads first, not guilty, and second, that he
is not guilty under sections 3, ,929 and 4, OIL of
the Revised Statutes; third, on Nov 49, 1879,
Mr.. Key, then Postmaster-general, after hear
ing evidence was satisfied that the plaintiff
was conducting scheme for obtaining
money through the mails by means of false
and fraudulent pretenses and forbade the
payment of postal orders to him by the post
master at New Orleans, and the said order
has never been revoked. The Postmaster
general admits that he has enforced this
order, but says he was not actuated by
malice or desire to injure the plaintiff. He
pleads further that the order of Mr..
Key, of Nov. 13, 1879, is included
in his order of July 8, and says he
considered it his duty TO enforce it, He ad-
mits that he was informed of the later de-
cison of Mr.. Key suspending the order, and
also that an appeal had been taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States, which
was dismissed by the plaintiff; but considered
that any statements by Mr. Key were only
incidental for the end they were made and
were therefore limited In effect. That he
might be informed of anything the plaintiff
might have to suggest to the contrary, he
notified him what he proposed to do, and
heard arguments in his behalf He admits
that he declined to retry the question, mas
much as the plaintiff did not allege that
there had been any material change, and
after hearing he issued, on July 8 last, di-
reetiOn, which he avows to be all that he
has done in relation to the matter. He
states that whatever has been done in the
matter has been done merely in the course
OF his official duty, and without malice to

railroad at 2:05 o'clock this afternoon A
great crowd had gathered to see them, but
the official reception, owing to the uncer-

THE HAZING TRIAL.
Examination of Unwilling Witnesses of the
Fourth Glass of Naval Cadets.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. 1.-The naval court
martial was resumed this morning on the
trial of Cadet E. P. Bentholf. Naval Cadet
Henry c. Rodgers of the fourth class, testi-
fed; The accused required me- on or about
the Both of July, to turn out of my ham
mock after P. NJ. and stand on my head.
! do not know that his presence intimidated
me, but l expect it did
Naval Cadet George W. Galloway, of the
fourth class, testified that the accused never
required him to turn out of his hammock on
the Both of July after p NJ. and stand on
his head, but he was present was in night
shirt and drawers. The presence of the ac-
cused did not tend to intimidate
me. did not regard the ac-
cused as forming one of the party
of hazers l turned out of my hammock be-
cause Trapnell ordered me out. If had been
ordered to turn out of hammock in sim
liar way by one of my classmates would not
have done it. 1 regard Bentholf as not being
one of the haZers, because he had nothing to
say about my turning out l know of no
reason why the accused was present at that
particular hazing except as a witness.
Naval Cadet e. Furrell, of the fourth class
testified that he did not think the accused
made him stand on his head for the purpose
of making him expose his person. He saw
no reason TO object to standing on his head
He was not intimidated. The order was not
given in a peremptory manner He was OBJ
liged to do it, but as matter of fun. We
were all laughing 1t would have depended
upon circumstances whether or not he
would have stood upon his head for amuse-
ment and for one of his own class.
Question by the President-Under all the
circumstances of that hazing of that night
would you have turned out and attempted to
have stood on your head at the order of one
or more of your classmates?
The question was evidently trying to the
witness. He answered, after some effort
that there had been skylarking that night
among the classes not intermixing and
cannot say whether l would or not have
turned out and stood on my head at the or
der of one of my classmates l did not then
regard the matter as hazing, but mere con-
tinuation of the fun.
Naval Cadet Fred. G Moore, of the fourth
class, testified about the same. He regarded
the presence of the accused as a witness to
the transaction.
