ByrOn's Grave.

Was ever great author so unfortun
ate in his monuments as Lord Byron,
whose short ana fitful life, when he
died, had already been filed with mis-
fortune? Dying in Greece, the most
celebrated Englishman of his time and
century, as Goethe said of him, his re-
mains were taken home, and not only
were they denied burial in the abbey,
but even the statue of him which Thor
waldsen had made in Rome was denied
admission to the national mausoleum.
Hence, the remains were slowly conveyed
from their short resting place in Lon
don house northward to the family
vault in HUcknall Tarkard Church, Not
tinghamshire, and the statue had to seek
shelter at Cambridge. Moreover, a few
years ago, when an outdoor statue of
him was finally set up In London park
on q pedestal made of stone presented
by the Greeks, the statue was found to
be hideous libel on his memory-one of
the worst statues, in fact, that had ever
been set up ii city that is peopled
with bad ones. Hucknall Tarkard
Church stands in one of the most DESC
late of English churchyards, and is IT
self one of the unloveliest of English
churches. But here, at any rate, there
might be erected some fitting memorial
to Lord Byron something besides the
white tablet that bis sister Augusta low
ingly caused to be placed above his
tomb soon after he died-but there is
danger that the east window in which If
has long been wished that this memorial
might be placed in the form of staiEed
glass will be devoted TO other purposes.
Some gentleman for many years resi-
dent in the parish is dead and his rel
atIves desire to put stained glass in the
east window to the memory of him. The
vicar OF The parish has been good enough
to publish this tact, but as be requires
an immediate notice from the Byron ad-
mirers of their purpose to proceed with
their enterprise, it seems not at all I'M
likely that the window will he devoted to
the memory of the gentleman long res
ident in the parish For Lord Byron

MIXED grasses for Pasture.

Much has been written during the past
few years about the deslrablllty Of per-
manent pastures like these seen IN Eng
land, Holland, ard other European coun-
tries. where much attention IS given to
dairyiug and where the land sustains a
large amount of stock. These famous
pastures, some of which have not been
plowed FOR more than a century, are
marvels of beauty aud productiveness.
The sod is composed of a large number
of grasses. which retain their place in
the soil for an exceedingly long time and
afford a succession of most deslra bic
stock food from the time vegetation starts
IN the spring till the soil becomes frozen
on the approach of winter. In England
and Holland it is no uncommon thing
for an acre of pasture land to support a
large COW that is giving milk during
eight months of the year.
Experiments III forming and sustain
ing a permanent sod of mixed grasses
have not been as successful in TIE most
favored portions of this country as IN
the British islands and the countries on
the European continent lying east OF
them. In the more southern states
there has been complete failure to
establish and sustain them. Iowa is an
excellent state for grass, the soil and
climate being alike favorable to its pro-
duction. As rule the climate OF this
country is not favorable to the produc-
ton of many Of the grasses that sue
coed well in some other countries. we
have severe heat and very dry weather
during a considerable portion OF the
summer. A long continued drought Is
liable to completely kill out some of the
more delicate varieties of grasses. The
winters, too, are often SO severe as to
cause the same effect 1t is also true
that some of our grasses, like red top
and blue grass, have so great vitality
that in places where the soil and climate
are favorable to them they are liable to
crowd out, when they have become well
established, most other grasses, and to
take complete possession OF the soil.
The writer of this few years ago en-
deavored with little regard to trouble or
expense to establish a permanent pro
ductive sod on about three acres of land
designed for a lawn pasture on farm a
few miles from the city. The soil was

A Cave Containing Embalmed Bodies.


Leaving the high road to Nazareth to
the right, we followed the path for about
half an hour which took us into the vii
lage of Sheik Abreik. 1t was nliser-
able collection of mud novels, in the
muddiest Of which dwelt the sheik. At
ter much palaver and promises OF album
dant backshish We got him to admit the
existence of the caverns of which we were
in search, and persuaded him to be our
guide to them. The first was called by
the Arabs "Ihe Cave of He'll" Its en-
trance seemed to Justify the ill-omened
appellation. 1t was steep, sloping
tunnel into the bowels of the earth, just
large enough to admit the passage of a
mans body. To slide into this feet fore
most after heavy rain involved coat
ing of mud from top to toe. After going
down a few yards we found a chamber IN
which we could stand erect. Here we
lighted our candle and looked about. We
found tbatit was the first of series of SINH
lar chambers opening one into another.
Each contained stone collins, hewn out
of the solid rock. The bodies were en-
balmed, wrapped in cloths, as We read
in Scriptural accounts of burials, notably
in that of our Savior. Each III his
narrow cell forever laid, they remain
undisturbed until rude hands, ages after
ward, "roled away the stone from the
mouth of the cave" and rified the con-
tents.

Increase of Sorghum Production,

The following extract is taken from
the close of an article on sorghum, in
Bradetreet's of last week: Taking last
years successful results as basis. there
fore, it Is safe to infer that much larger
area of lard will be put into sorghum
this year than ever before. Its seldom
that We have throughout the north such
cold, moist summer as was experienced
last season. With the usual amount Of
hot weather in July and August, there
will not only be a heavier growth of cane,
but Ii will mature earlier and contain a
greater quantity of saccbarine material.
One point seems to be fully settled by
experience-viz., that, IN order to get
the largest yield of sugar, the cane must
stand until it is fully ripe, and must be
worked up on the same day it is cut. 1t
may stand after maturity until frost
comes without being injured. The
earlier 1T ripens, the more time it gives
for manufacturing. For these reasons a
warm summer makes cane growing a
more successful business. Thatlt is to be,
at no distant day, one of the leading
branches of agriculture among our
northern farmers is the firm belief of
those best qualified to form a Judgment.
Already the amount of syrup produced
has considerably lessened the consump-
ton of glucose Manufacturers of glu-
cose are complaining OF dull markets.
Country people are finding out that
sorghum syrup is as cheap and far
sweeter and more palatable than the
light-colored product made from corn
stalks. In a short tine city people viii
discover the same fact, and when they
do, the reign of glucose will be over.
