NEGLIGENCE.

An important letter to business house
in this city. which was mailed at Chicago,
Jan. 10, and arrived at Rock Island
Jan. Is, was not received out of the post
Office here until last night, Feb 2, eighteen
days after it was received. What excuse
can our postmaster make for this glaring
proof of sheer carelessness? None at all
for the envelope bears both the Chicago
and the Rock Island stamp, and shows
conclusively that the fault lies entirely
with the home Office. If Major Beardsley
is compelled to spend a large portion of
his time in the national and state capitals,
in the interest of his party bosses
he should at least see to it, that his official
duties are properly taken care of during
his absence

usually heavy French plate, beveled edges,
is framed most exquisitely. The same is
about three inches in width and is covered
with green velvet, vareagated tints or
shades. Through this velvetruns pretty
vine tracery with flowers, leaves, ETC., true
to nature. Although this present arrived
too late for the wedding it is none the
less appreciated by the recipients

SPECIAL MANUREs FOR GARDENS
The inquiry is often made for dircc-
tons for applying the right quantity of
special manurcs to garden beds, or to
certain crops, rs the quantity is very
commonly thrown on without any re-
gard for the proper required amount.
As q general rule, q larger quantity
would be used on garden crops than
on the farm. An extreme case is the
asparagus bed, which may have two
pounds Of salt to the square yard, or
at about the rate Of half bushel to
| the square rod, or eighty bushels per
acre; the common amount prescribed
! for wheat and other field crops being
only six or eight bushels an acre.
Salt on other garden crops may be at
the rate Of two or three pounds per
square rod. Superphosphate used
broadcast, may be scattered over any
desired portion Of the garden at the
rate Of three pounds to the square
rod, or an ounce or two to the yard !;
or on q garden bed five feet wide, it
would spread at the rate of 4 pound
to 4 rod in length. Ashes, common
" applied to farm crops at the rate OF
from twenty to fifty bushels per acre,
which would be from half 4 peck to
over a peck per rod, might be some
what increased on the deep and ricL
soils Of gardens, and especially about
fruit trees, if well spread broadcast
The same may be said Of lime, il
we'll pulverizcd when applied. These
quantities will vary if applied to wide
drills or hills. For narrow drills they
would be used the same rs broadcast
as the roots Of the plants soon fill the
whole ground. In hills several fee
. apart, one-half, or even onC-lOurtI
the above amount would answer, bu
it may not be advisable to contno
, these special fertilizers to circum

l rs the roots are expected TO run

and he was elected unanimously. Mr.

to be elected now, why was it that he

seemed willing to tell, but Judge
Small took advantage of the opportu-
nifty and drew on his store of anecdotes,
and Col. Sawyer also gave the meeting
