Mr.. D,msIa has tn, DRY about
cation lmtS az Variance with the ac-
cepte,l one IN vogue, that has every
semnlance of correctness and has
been demonstrated as correct Ivy ex.
pertinent. lie claims that the cot
ton stalk has two distinct sets of roots
one for making stalk, leaves ETC.,
and the other to draw sustenance and
food for the fruit or cotton. Take
cotton stalk with forms, blooms and
bolls on it, and with carving knife
trace a circle around it eight or ten
inches from the stalk, five or six
inches deep. Within five days it will
shed all its fruit and commence to
develop more stalk. The roots for
fruit will again put out and in course
of ten or fifteen days it will again
commence to fruit. This shows that
the tap root aud those close to the
stalk develop the stock and do not
affect the fruit. 1t is well known to
cotton planters that small fibrous
roots put out and make net work of
the ground near the stalk. These, he
claims, furnish the food to make the
fruit. To utilize his idea best and
demonstrate it, he has five acres in
which he put two hundred pounds of
phosphate to the acre before these
fruit making roots were put out
the fertilizer distributed in the row
and the cotton is the fullest and heav-
lest of fruit of any we ever saw.
These fruit making roots do not put
out until the plant commences to
fruit, and that is why it damages to
pillow it before these roots put out.
Within three weeks after cotton
commences to make forms II has myr-
lads of small, fibrous roots extending
two or three feet every way from the
stalk-the middle of the rows is full
Of them-and if plant food that is
most embodied in the fruit is put
there for it, the, food will he taken
up by these rootlets, assimilated 10y
the plant and add greatly to the
quantity of the fruit. 1t is best to
apply this fertilizer just before the
plant begins to bloom. Furman's
compost would beat phosphate, but
either would prove beneficial. When
applied at that time, there is no dan
ger Of it teaching from the soil be
fore it can be taken up by the plant
and it goes directly to the accomplish
ment of the purpose.

An Important Decision.

Boston, September A decision
eff the utmost importancewas made to
day bv the United States Court con.
corning State debts. Judge Bond
holds, first, that the tender of coupons
for taxes is a legal tender, and that
i'll consequences will flow from any
other legal tenden from this, and that
this is the effect of the Supreme
Court decision; second, that officers of
State will be eDjoined from levying
on taxpayers property after the
tender of coupons; third, that us the
questions in these suits depend upon
the constitutionality of the States
legislation, the suits arise under the
constitution, and the Circuit Courts
of the United States have jurisdiction
of them without regard to the citizen
shi of parties. If the decision stands,
it would seem that the State can col
lect no more revenue till she provides
for the coupons.

The shin GOV. Rnhie

Conspicuous in the mass of spars and rigging
in the ships below the Brooklyn landing Of the
Wall Street Ferry yesterday afternoon, were
the bright new masts and yards Of the Cover
nor Robie. clipper ship Just off the stocks.
The Governor Robie was built in Bath, and Is
the property Of Mr.. WIN. Rogers OF that place
She is 224 feet over all, Al feet beam, "a feet
depth OF hold, and her gross tonnage is LIP
tons. In model she is beauty. It is said that
she has the finest lines Of any ship that ever
csme out of Bath-a port well known for its
fast sailers. The spars are lofty and well pro-
portioned. The mainmast is so feet long, with
l4-foot head; its topmast is 50 feet long, with
an S-foot head, and its topgallant masis' meas
urements are %. IT, and feet. The main yard
is 80 feet loug, the lower topsail II, the upper
topsail g. the topgallant 80, and the royal 40.
From these figures one can gather some idea Of
the cloud OF canvass she Will spread.
Her poop deck extends forward of the main
mast. As the forward house is 46 feet long and
the topgallant forecastle extends we'll aft, one
hardly realizes the length Of the ship as he
stands on the quarter deck. The cabin is 45
feet long. 1t contains the Captains room a
bathroom, the mates rooms, and four spare
rooms, ali neatly finished in walnut and ASH
A popularity OF the cabin is the lamp-room at
the foot OF the forward ladder. The Captain
says he wants TO have the lamps where be can
see il they are kept in order. In the after end
Of the forward house is room for a steam
hosting engine, but the engine is not in place
yet. Then comes coal locker, the galley, the
sail room, and the comfortable forecastie.
There are sixteen bunks.
The man at the wheel will find the pilot
house a comfortable innovation on the old
style, especially In going around the Horn
The bell is arranged so that it can be struck by
the man at the wheel. The steering gear Is the
old style tiller aud pulley. tits very strong
and easy working. 'I want good steering
gear, good anchor, good chains and good
wlndlass" explained the Captain, as he opened
the door Of the pilo, house
There is four-thousand-gallon water tank
just aft of the mainmast, and several small
tanks and casks on deck forward. There is a
double action pump, fitted to work by steam
when the engine is in place. The patent anchor
tripper is handy fixture, by which the anchor
is thrown clear of the fail when il is let 20 AZ
the cathead. The standing rigging and run
ming gear are the best made. The Governor
Robie will load general merchandise for San
Francisco, sailing in the Van Wick line. She
is commanded by Capt. William Fl. Goodel, a
young sailor, who has commanded vessels for
nine years, getting his first when only 10 years
old.-N. Y. Sun.

Mistakes in Newspapers.

The Poughkeepsie Eagle, in an article on
'How mistakes happen in newspapers, fig
ures up the number Of type used in news
paper the size of the Eagle at 600, 900; that
is the actual number Of bits of metal ar
ranged for each newspaper Of that size for
the press. We suppose few people think Of
the printing trade as one of the most exact
and particular handlcrafts, but It is. In
making type, variations that might be al
lowed In the finest machinery would render
type useless. 1t is very rarely that the type
furnished by two separate foundries can be
used together without great deal Of trouble
even though they should try TO make
IL after the standard. We read once
in while Of a wonderful piece of
cabinet or mosaic work @contain-
ing ten, twenty, or fifty thousand
pieces, the maker Of which has spent months
or even years of labor in producing 1t, and
the people go 10 see it as Gu
riosity; but the most elaborate and
carefully fitted piece Of work OF
this kind ever made does not compare, for
minuteness Of detail and accuracy Of fitting,
with that which the printer does every day.
The man who does the first is looked upon
as marvel Of skill, and, if a hundred of hi O..
pieces are put in wrong side up or turned
around, 1t Is not noticed In the general eff
feet; but If the printer, in fitting ten times
as many pieces together In a single day, puts
one the wrong way, everybody sees IL and is
amazed at the "stupid carelessness Of those
printers"

sew Fneland southern conference

Providence, Il. l., April S. The exercises
OF the New England Southern Conference to-
day were held in the Infantry armory hall aud
attended by large congregation, many being
unable 10 obtain admission. At $50 O'Clock
conference love feast was held, led by Father
Upham, the oldest travelling preacher in the
world. Three thousand persons attended the
1880 service. The introductory exercises were
conducted by Rev. Messrs NJ. j. Talbot ID. d.
II, ID. Robinson and j. w. willett. The Men,
delssohn Choral Society, 100 voices and full
orchestra rendered an excellent musical pro-
gramme. Bishop Simpson delivered power
ful and eloquent sermon on the Power and
influence OF Christianity" based on text from
Isaiah xii:4 Az the close of Bishop Simpsons
sermon nine candidates for deacon's orders
were then ordained by Bishop Simpson The
afternoon services were held at 3 o'clock. Rev.
Messrs @. l.. Goodell, Archibald Mcleod, Il.

were ordained 10 elders orders by Bishop Simp-
son assisted by several members of the confer
ence.
The evening services at 7.S0 wore attended
by large congregation. After the usual de-
votional exercises Rev. Edward NJ. Taylor, of
Fall River, preached the anniversary sermon
from the text Matthew IS, is and 10. The
speaker said the text established the omnipo-
tence OF Christ In every word and work In
human history and all moral reform originated
with the advent OF the Saviour into the world
He referred TO tho great work accomplished by
foreign missions, and said the Christian church
was powerful agent In the diffusion of the
work of God. Education separated from moral
enlightment digs deeper grave for mankind.
The power Of the gospel must be brought to
boar upon human nature, and the church
should feel the responsibility at home as we'll

Yellow Fever in Callac and Lima-A
Scheme to Make Iglesias President of
the Conquered Country.

Yellow Fever in Cailac and Lima-A
Scheme to Make Iglesias President of
the Conquered Country.
NEW YORK, April yellow fever has
broken out in both Callao and Lima and has
foothold IN the great hospital of the "Dos de
Mayo" in Lima, where nearly thousand sick
principally Chilian soldiers, are being cared
for. Four weeks ago there were three fatal
cases Of fever on board the vessels of the
United States squadron stationed at Callao,
but although the symptoms were those per-
tanning TO this particulsr epidemic, the sur
geons denied that it was ether than fever Of a
bilious tyne. Since then several cases have
occurred on shore in Callao, and one well au-
thenticated case in Lima. These were among
civilians, principally foreigners, but now the
evil appears among the Chiian battalions
Several skirInishes have recently taken place
between the Peruvian advance guard and the
GILLIAN troops stationed at Chesica, in which
no material ADVANTAGES were gained by either
side. The authorities in Lima, however
knowing that ID would not be difficult matter
for Caceres to interpese force between
Chesica aud Lima, sent up heavy reinforce
ments 10 the garrison at that place, and pro-
ceeded to throw up additional Notifications.
All this would be of but little i'm portance to
the non-combaiants in Lima had it not the
effect Of preventing supplies reaching the
capital from the districts occupied by the op-
posing forces, and consequently increasing the
exorbltant prices of the absolute necessaries of
life.
1t is surmised that the Chilians intend max
ing an effort TO bring Iglesias down to Lima, TO
proclaim him President of Peru upheld by
Chilian hayonets, aud with the whole country
arrayed as unit against him.
