sdviang Democrats against tariff legisla-
ton, but it is said he has not impressed
the Ways and Means Committee of the un.
wisdom of reducing the tariff. He thinks
that Che tariff agitation, if persisted in,
will ruin the party, and says that if the
Democratic House passes a reduction bill
the pSrty has no earthly chance of winning
the Presidency. Mr.. Barnaby holds that
the skitation has slready cemented the
Reput utlicans, and has. made Ohio safe for
that party. Democrats of the Ways and
Means Committee say they intend to 60

standing Mr.. Barnaby's fears; that the
party Is not looking to Rhode Island,

EVANSVILLE, IND, February 1.-THE
news from Paducah is far from assuring.
Much of the city is under water, and the
river is rising steadily, and during the past
thirty.six hours has increased rapidly.
The people there are counting on three or
four feet more water, which will carry the
food to a greater height than last year.
The situation in several smaller towns
above and below is already quite as bad as
last year, but owing to the frequent occur
renee OF such disasters the facts are not so
well known to the country at large.

Alabama Marl Beds.

These vast aud inexhaustible beds Of
shell mari found in the bluffs of the
Tombigbee and Alabama Rivers, and
the many small streams running into
them in West Alabama will become a
subject of no small Importance when it
is known that they possess valuable
properties as fertilizer. Until within
the past few years these beds have at
tracted no attention except here and
there an isolated experiment. which
was manifestly at variance with the
laws Of nature and therefore had the
effect to discourage others. From their
location and easy transportation it
seems that they have been specially de-
signed by Providence for the purpose
OF resuscitating and building up the
fertility Of the extensive area of poor
pine lands south Of them, which extend
for nearly one hundred miles to the sea
shore.
To sum up the extent and location of
these beds would require much more
labor than | could 6estow upon this
branch Of the subject at this time. /
have personally inspected large quanti-
ties and various beds, and | am conf
dent there are beds consisting of sever
al strata in the bluffs Of the TOmbigbee
River which would exceed 500, 900 tons,
and as to how much more l am unable
TO say. These various beds are within
q few yards Of the waters edge, and
could be dug out and put on board OF
steamboats, or other craft at an expense
not to exceed probably one dollar per
ton. In the beds and bluffs Of the vari-
Gus creeks and branches running into
the river are vast quantities Of this mari.
which extend frequently q number OF
miles into the interior, and 1t is mat
ter OF surprise that the farmers of that
section have not discovered their value
before and built up the fertility Of their
farms. On the Alabama River, in the
vicinity Of Gainestown, am told, large
beds OF the mari are found, some OF
which contain per cent Of gypsum, an
important constituent In aiding the fer
tility Of our poor pine lands. Without fur
ther comment upon the extent Of these
various beds. or deposits OF she'll

orally admitted by those familiar with
them that there is no probability of
their being exhausted within the next
half century. Their value as fertilizer
has not elected any interest worthy OF
comment until within the past few
years. The few experiments which ]
have obtained relative 10 their value

suit In each case. - Cor. N o, 1ynses-
