Ihill to the observatory situated
on its summit, several hundred
feet above the business portion
of tke city, / was enabled by
means of q field glass, to get a
magnificent view of the city and
bay, with various towns and
cities located across the bay,
along its shore line.
| will end this brief descrip-
ton by saying, that | was never
more disappointed in a country
and city, than / was in Califor-
MIA and San Francisco. They
both fall far short ofwhat ! had
anticipated. Leaving San Fran
cisco on the homeward line the
LIST day of June, | passed up the
Sacramento Valley, which seem
ed to be the garden spot OF all
my travels, thence through Ne
vada, Utah, Wyoming, Colora-
do, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois,
Kentucky and Tennessee, at 4
p. NJ, on the 10th, / found my
self in Oxford. So | am home
again well and sound, a good
deal better satisfied with Mis-
sissippi than when l left, as
Mississippi and its people taken
altogether are a good deal above
an average of those countries
and peoples seen in my travels.
| saw no country where the
masses seemed to be doing bet
ter than here, leaving out the
negroes.

DOTS OF WESTERN TR AvEL
San Francisco.

Ell. EAGLE: In my last "dots'
| promised to write you some
thing about San Francisco
This city is the commercial me
tropclis of the Pacific slope, and
the Queen city of the far West,
IL is situated on o peninsular on
the west shore of the magni6-
cent bay from which it derives
its name. Having the bay on
the north aud east and the Pa
cifc ocean on the west. 1t has
a population, according to the
census OF 1880, Of 100000. esti-
mated now at 100000. Thirty
thousand of these are citizens of
tho Celestial empire. San Fran.
cisco has more hills and steep.
or and higher hills within its
limits than any other city I ever
saw. / don't suppose there is
a city in the United States that
can beat it for hills. These are
mainly sand hills. In this / was
very much disappointed, as l
had imagined tue city to be
sit lated on a plain. There Is
hardly o city on earth that has
a moro mixed population than
this. Every civilized nation and
many uncivilized having repre-
sentatives there. The buildings,
many of which are very fine, are
nearly all of wood. This is to
escape danger from earth
quakes, l was told. There is
neither summer nor winter here
such as there is elsewhere. The
citizens wear the same charac.
ter of clothing the year round.
They were out in cloaks and
overcoats during my visit the
last of May. This GOODNESS is
caused by the breezes from the
Pacific ocean, which keep the
city enveloped in q dense fog
the year round. / hardly saw a
clear sun while l was there,
several times l thought it was
raining, but was told 1t was only
the falling Of the fog. The Pc
ninsular on which the city is
situated, is some six or eight
miles across from east to west,
I did not learn its length from
north to south, but suppose it
to be about the same. Some OF
the streets run up at an angle
Of about 40 degrees, and are
we'll nigh impossible to vehicles
of all descriptions, unless it be
the street cars which are pro-
PEELED up them by means OF an
endless chain, operated by

A Brave Confederate Colonel.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
One brave who fell during the late I
never forget. In the battle of Monticello, Ken
lucky, between Colonel Wolfords brigade and
General Pegram's forces, I was ordered to take q
squad of men and hold portion of ground on our
lett. | found the rebels pressing hard that
obliged to fall back short distance, yet firmly
contested the ground. Presently saw OtfCer
on a splendid black charger ordering his men for
ward. fired at him three or four times. He said
to his men, " II you won't advance, then follow
me-" and dashed IN front of his regiment and
charged up to where was behind a log, and, COW
erine- me with his revolver said, " You are the
that shot me and wounded my horse, too"
He gave a command to have ME taken to the rear,
and then fell off his horse he had tainted.
was taken to General Pegram who tried to find
out from me how many men were opposed to him.
would not tell him. was put In Monticello Iall,
and several times the lady who had charge Of the
Jail came and told that the neighbOrs told her
that Colonel Ashbys men intended TO take me out
at night and hang me, as l had wounded their
colonel The word got to our lines, and NOiiOTd'S 9
men captured that night twenty-five rebels and
would have shot them if Ashby's men had carried
out their design. About dark company of men
marched up to the jail and stacked arms The
captain up to and said he enlisted TO fight
Yankees and not to guard them. But Colonel
company and protect Inc, as his regiment should not
have the stain it of hanging a true soldier. and
if his had fought half well as | did they
would have carried the day. | am satisfied that by
our holding our position it prevented the rebels
from advancing. as saw enough men when went
in their rear TO have carried the day. Their line
did not advance any farther The leader died
from lock-jsw a short time afterwards. L sent
over to Knoxville with Corporal Dernette under
strong guard and from there was taken to Libby.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Our Agricultural Editors Weekly Chat With His
Readers.

READERS.
"I notice mention made of Furman's manure
and Furnans formula for making manure, bat
have not met amy statement as to what ii is, or how
made. Can you furnish any information Oh the
matter?'-John Z. S, Ind.
ARs.: We have no information othc- than
what we CLEAN from exchanges According 10
a statement, from which we quote, it is about as
follows: Take thirty bushels wcll-rotted stable
manure or well-rotted leaves or muck; spread
this about three inches thick on z dry spot
then take 200 pounds of good acid phosphate,
and 100 pounds of kainit; mix these two thor
oughly and spread over the manure. Take
next 80 bushels OF green cotton seed, spread
these over the pile and wet them thoroughly;
then take again 200 pounds acid phosphate and
700 pounds kainit and spread them, after mix
ing, over the cotton seed; then cover with six
inches of earth and leave it for six weeks when
ii is ready for use This is said to be good
manure for corn and cotton.
IN planting, say 100 pear trees, would you rec
ommend twenty OF the keiffer variety ?''-Essex
hHs: If for family use we would not plant
more thar ten Of the keiiIer But We have no
personal knowledge of the fruit further than
seeing samples Of it occasionally, and these
showed much difference in quality. This
much, however, can be said of this pear-that
the tree is a rapid grower, bears early, and is
very productive. The fruit is valued for can
ming; il is snowy and sells well in market,

fruit.
'Is it a good plan to soak seeds before sowing
them? Amelia, Canton, o.
Ans.: In reply we would state that we have
never made practice of soaking seeds before
sowing. If one could control the weather some
thing might be gained by soaking seeds; in
damp weather there is gain, but if the soil is
dry, and the weather also dry and clear, the seed
may lose more than IL gains by being induced
to spr0ut or nearly so before sowing a better
plan, in very dry soil, is to draw furrow for
tic seed and give the soil a good soaking with
water; the seed is then put in and covered.
This will be of service in hastcning germina-
tion.
Cannot make an asparagus bed by sowing the
seeds instead OF setting plants 20. w, Va.
Certainly. Asparagus requires good soil; there
fore see that il is well manared, properly deep
ened, and well pClveriZed on the surface; then
draw drills, as for peas, and sow the seeds
thiniy. Make the drills four feet apart and
when the young plants are we'll up thin out so
as TO leave them about eighteen inches apart.
In this way We have cut good asparagus tho
third year after sowing.
