The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1884-04-26

The fact that two railroads will be
built along the Monongahela within
the present year seems to be beyond
question. The little bitches that
have been met so far only make the
managers of both enterprises more
active.

The Present Jury system.

PITTSBURGH, April 14-The cham
Der Of commerce at a meeting to-day
denounced the evils Of the present
jury system, and passed resolutions
recommending amendments, SO that
three-fourths be empowered to render
a verdict; that it be obligatory upon
juries to accept the law as laid down
by the courts, rather than to be them
selves judges Of the law, as well as
facts, and that jurors be selected
without regard to political services.

Some of our republican contem-
temporaries are trying mighty hard
to find something to yell about over
the result of the Charleston conven-
ton. They have signally failed. The
convention left no spot for them to
attack.

A Paradise for Eumners and
AngIers.>

The Chesapeake and Delaware
Peninsula, comprising portions of the
States Of Maryland. Delaware, and
Virginia, contains q square area of
six thousand miles, and measures
about two hundred miles by forty.
Within this limited surface, and dis
tant only few hours ride from Phil
adelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore, and
Washington, are to be found the
finest sporting and fishing on the At
lantic coast. SO abandantly has this
favored region been endowed by ma
ture with game of every description
that it is worthy to be called "A Par
adise for Gunners and Anglers"
Such, indeed, is the title adopted for
his book by writer whose work now
lies before us. His description of the
Peninsula, and the advantages it af-
fords to sportsmen, are carefully and
accurately written, while the excel
lent engravings and maps with which
his book is adorned add greatly to
its appearance and value.
This essential vade mecun of the
sportsman may be obtained free by
addressing j. R. Wood, General Pas
senger Agent Pennsylvania Railroad,

The Elephants TAN and the Buddhist
Priest.
From the Philadelphia Call
The young ladies were gazing at
the white elephant as it stood enthron-
ed in all its sacred splendor and sur
rounded by the mystic emblems of
its holy character and the adoring
priests who were kneeling devoutedly
on every side.
"How curious it u.s." remarked one,
"that any race ofpeople should be so
dcluded as to worship an elephant"
1T is indeed" replied the other,
sadly. when looking upon this wor-
shipping throng Of ignorant super
situations cannot but feel that there
should be no rest until the mission
airy message is borne to the last one
Of these benighted heathens."
"True," asserted the first speaker;
sit is grand and solemn duty"
just at this juncture the animal
fiicked his tail and struck one Of the
Buddhist priests in the mouth
"Howly Mosesw he exclaimed, in
terrupting his devotions, Eye hathen
haste" and then the young ladies
strolled on to the monkeys cage.

"SOluble" Plant Food.

A postal-card enquirer wants to know
why we prefer insoluble fertilizers to SOL
uble ones. We don't. We want our
plant food to be all available, and to that
end we do not want it too soluble. If it
is too soluble Qike nitrate of soda, for in
stance,) it will leach out of the reach of
the roots of young plants before they can
get it. Such very soluble fertilizers are
only suited to perennial crops like grass,
or at least to biennials, like winter grain !;
and upon the latter they should not be
sown until spring. But this enquirer
doubtless referred to the so-called "solu.
BILE" or acid phosphate. This is soluble
when applied, but in twenty.four hours it
reverts to that less soluble form which it
is the fashion to call insoluble for the
purpose of misleading people. Phosphate
of lime made soluble by sulphuric acid is
corrosive, and not only cannot be taken up
by the feeding roots of plants, but will
destroy such as come in contact with it.
If it did not revert, it would poison the
land until washed out by rains. The soil
tary advantage claimed for this acid phos-
plate is that for the few hours it remains
soluble, it distributes itself better through
the soil. When it has reverted, it is in
the same condition as the phosphates in
dung, guano, ground bone and South Car
DINA phosphate. In these forms phos-
phoric acid costs from two to five cents a
pound. In the Soluble form it costs
from ten to fifteen cents pound. Can
any farmer afford to pay from eight to
ten cents pound to have his phosphoric
acid "soluble for only twenty-four
hours? Had he not better buy Gas he
CAM three or four times as much of the
less soluble with the same money? This
question is the whole question. Think of
il we'll,

The South Carolina Phosphate Rock.

The first discovery of what is now
known as the South Carolina Phosphate
Rock" was made in 1914 by persons
digging for marl-the green-ssnd or
potash. bearing mari being in great re-
quest as a fertilizer at that time. The
parties engaged in digging pits to reach
the mari often passed through layer of
clay filled with nodules of rock weighing
from four or five to twenty pounds, or
more. This layer was from ten inches to
three feet thick, but usually about sixteen
inches, and the rocks were packed in quite
closely, embedded in yellow clay They
were not considered of any value at that
time, but were known to exist over a
large area of territory, mostly near the
surface. The composition of these rocks
was not ascertained until the summer of
1867, when one of them was analysed,
and was discovered to be very rich in
phosphoric acid. This analysis was made
by DR.. N. A. Pratt Of Charleston, and efforts
were made to raise the capital to dig and
prepare the rock for market as fertilizer.
Not being able to do this in Charleston,
capitalists in Philadelphia we're induced
to engage in the speculation, and the
"Charleston Mining and Manufacturing
Company was organized. A large CAPT.
tai was employed, lands bought, wharves
and buildings prepared, and machinery
devised for cleansing and grinding the
rock. The analyses made at different
times were found to vary considerably,
yet nearly all of them showed rock equal
to or exceeding bones in phosphoric acid.
These analyses run from twenty-five to
thirty-five per cent of this acid, equiva
lent to from fifty-fve to seventy.fve per
cent of bone phosphate of lime. The
first cargo of one hundred tons was shipped
April H. 1868, and the excitement, as
soon as the value of the rock became
known, was almost equal to the coal oil
furvor. One plantation belonging to q
widow, which was valued at $4,000, was
purchased by the company mentioned fol
$45. 900, and by them valued at 100000
The best beds are considered worth 81 ,OOO
or more per acre.
The arrival Of the first cargo in Phila
delphia caused no little excitement in
mercantile circles, especially among the
manufacturers of fertilizers, and in very
short time after the chemists of that city
New York, and elsewhere, had pronounced
it a true Bone Phosphate-rock," the fine
began to be estimated at it's true import
auce as one of the most valuable discov
cries ever made. 1t has no equal in i'm
portance to agriculture, unless 1t be the
great discovery of the mines of potash
salts in Germany, which was made about
the same time. Together they furnish
two of the three most important elements
of plant foot in unlimited quantities
leaving only nitrogen in its combined
forms to be obtained from other sources
This is now done from the waste of gas
works, from the nitrate of soda beds Of
South America, the great amount of fish

Rag Babies and silver Dollars.

We recently read with amusement an
account of the terror with which lot of
apes were sd when some one stuck up
rag.doll in corner of their cage. At
first they all retreated as far from the
terrible object as possible. Then some of
the older ones began to make faces at it.,
and chartered fesrfully. At last the bold
est one gradually approached it, retreated,
and again approached until he gently
touched the cotton infant with one finger,
jumping back to avoid the returned blow.
But seeing no sign of resentment, his fear
disappeared, aud in a short time they
were all so anxious to hug and caress the
textile image that they were in danger of
destroying it from excess of affection.
The New York Examiner is paper that
has wasted good deal of unnecessary
fear and grimace upon the financial rag
baby" as the capitalist interest nick.
named the national greenback currency.
(This epithet, singularly enough, has
never been applied to the paper money
issued by the national banks, though it is
made of just the same kind of rags, and
is printed on the same presses as the
greenbacks). The Examiner (Which, is
like most of the religious papers printed
in New York, is regular bankers organ)
has also been "death on the silver dol
lar, which it has regarded as an abomina-
tion of desolation sitting in the place of
the national bank note. Imagine our sur
prise, then, in finding the following in a
late issue of the Examiner:
"The decision by the supreme court
money legal tender in time of peace
gives new aspect to the silver question.
The opinion is rapidly gaining ground
among those who have hitherto opposed
the further coinage of silver that it would
be unwise to stop it for the present In
case of a not improbable expectation of
gold to Europe, there ought to be coin
basis of some kind for the paper currency.
A silver dollar would be worth its bullion
value, at any rate, but paper dollar has
no intrinsic value. Bad as it would be to
have the currency of the United States
based on silver, it would be still worse to
have paper currency with no coin basis
There is not the least danger that the
average export of gold will equal, or hall
equal, the production of our gold mines
The financial position of America is en-
tirely different from what it was when
England could drain us of our gold almos,
at will. The boot is on the other leg now
But any reason, even bad one, is usefu
as pretext for evacuating an untenablt
position. The silver dollar has come tt
stay, and the banking interest at las
realizes the fact.

The Greenbacks.

The Brattleboro Phenir, referring to
the recent decision of the supreme court
that greenbacks are legal tender, says:
"This covers the whole ground. The
powers of the government are vindicated,
and the greenback is forever taken out of
the catalogue of disturbances and uncer-
tainties On the stock exchange. What
now remains to be done is so to educate
public opinion that there shall be no
