pt to put white citizen of Bamberg
into the postoifice with Robinson, as his
deputy (probably to take care of him.
aud to procure q certificate from twonty-
fvo citizens Of the town setting forth
that Robinson was good postmaster, and
that there was no dissatisfaction with
tho manner in which ho conducted tho
office. Having done this, 1t was not noc-
cssary for tho special agent to 30 any fur
ther, unless ho intended to investigate
the outrage.
Simpson made no investigation, how
over, but contented himself with report
ing to the department rumor which no
doubt was startod by tho mon who parti-
cipated in tho attack. What right had
he to put an imputation on citizen Of
Barnwell county, mentioning him by
namo, without scintilla of proof against
him? If Nix really did instigate the at
tack on Robinson. he ought to be instantly
removed from Office and turned over to
the state authorities to be dealt with
according to law. But until somo evil
dence has boen developed pointing to his
connection with tho affair, why should
he be publicly designated as tho probable
instigator Of an outrageous crime? I'm
less he has some grounds for his opinion,
Special Agent Simpson has just as much
right to name Senator Hampton or
Senator Butler as the probable instigator
of the attack as he had to name Frederick
| Nix in that connection,
After reading tho account of the affair
| Courier we have no doubt but that tho
attack was made by white men living in
the neighborhood, and that the purpose
was to compel Robinson to resign. In the
statement made by Robinson, he says tho
men who came to his house wore white
men (as he thought), but Special Agent
| Simpson seems to have overlooked this
fact when he dragged the name of Fred
erick Nix into ,,i~ rcrort 1t would be
preposterous to suppose colored poso'
master residing in another part Of Barn
well county could employ dozen of
white citizens of Bamberg to kuklux
another colored postmaster. The post
office department ought not to allow
this matter to rest on the report
of Special Agent Simpson. If there Is
any evidence against Nix, it must be
brought out. II he Is innocent, he is en-
titled to u full vindication. Special Agent
Simpson, or probably some man with
more capacity for such work, ought to be
ordered to continue the investigation.
If Nix is guilty, we have no doubt bu,
that the local authorities will deal with
him according to his desserts; If he is in.
nocent, however, we have no great expec'
tation that the Barnwell grand jury will
give the matter much attention.
An attempt was made to assassinate
Nix while he was distributing the mai
in the postoffico over which he preside'
some two or three years ago. A white
rutiian walked into the office and deliber
ately fred at him as he was standing witt
his back to the delivery window. W.
believe there was an investigation, bu
wo do not remember that anybody wa
punished, either by the federal or thu
state authorities.

=SiRovEG CLEVELAND seems to be as
thrifty in his official habits and as careful
in his personal expenditures as the late
Gov. Marcy, who charged the state of
New York with % cents paid for patching
his pantaloons. When Cleveland was
sheriff he managed to get fees far in ex-
cess of any of his predecessors, and took
caro- to charge everything against the
county that could possibly be regarded
as q public expenditure. For instance,
when tho carrier boys of the three lead
ing Buffalo newspapers presented them
selves at the sheritr's office on the morn
ing of Jan. l, 1872, with the customary
New Years address, Sheriff Cleveland
gave each of them 25 cents and charged
the amount (75 cents against the county.
A man of thrifty habits in tho white
house might live on the contingent fund
and save the whole of his salary.

IN view Of the extraordinary class of
race horses that gratifled thousands of
the best people Of Washington by their
exhibitions of speed and endurance at
tho Ivy City course last autumn, it was
supposed the meeting then held would
hardly be equaled for many years to
come. But it is apparent from the entries
for the coming October meeting that it
will eclipse in interest and the charac-
ter of the contcnding horses any race
meeting ever held in this city. Scarcely
racer of fame in the country is missed
from the fine lists that abundantly testify
to tho liberality and enterprise of the

shock of its clear, vibrating voice. Then
all is still again! and the time marches
on. The clock Outruns the feeble human
pulse and beats twice to its once-then
thrice; then they can be no longer count
ed together, fer the noise of the one has
completely drowned the feeble thrOb of the
other, and on the dead stiffness once
more is heard-unnaturally loud it
sOunds-the two strokes which tell of an
other long hour gone.
Annie, with her face still hidden. shud-
ders and sObs, and again all is still: ave,
very still, for Albert Beltham, leaning
close over the PROSTATE face, says very
gently but very distinctly:
''Annie, he is gOnee'
She raises a face which shows a child
like, helpless fear, and, with one loud cry
of sorrow, lays her head close by her
dead husbands. The gentlemen all draw
around the bedside, and Charlie takes
one more look at her father, sees Mr..
Beltham closing his eyes and falls pros
trate on the floor. DIR. Fearne tries to
lift her up, but he is too feeble, and Mrs.
Beltham, with the help of one Of the gen.
tlemen. carries her to her room. Poor
Charlie! Many fears and many anXieties
had met in that dreadful scene, and,
worn with excitement and horror, she
had tainted. The tension had been severe,
and, when the end came, the strength to
meet it had gone.
Mrs. Beltham was very kind to the
orphaned girl, and when she had recov-
cred did all she could to comfort her, and
at last when she was needed down
stairs, left her young charge quietly sleep

and are sold in the bags according to the
percentage of available fertllizing mate
rial they contain.
Potash is also a speciality in the fertil-
iZers and cores in the shape of the sui
plate or chloride, the first being potash
united to sulphuric acid, and the other a
combination Of potash and chlorine: but
use being kainit German potash salts):
but because in its crude condition it con-
tains magpesia, lime and other valuable
materials. Phosphates are the most pop
ular of the fertilizers, as they usually
contain certain proportion of ammonia
as we'll as phOsphOric acid. The phOs-
pilates are made by treating ground bones
with sulphuric acid, about 40 pounds of
acid being used to every 100 pounds of
bones. AS bones are a combination of
phOsphoric acid and lime, and cannot be
dissolved in water, the sulphurie acid is
used to take the place of the phOsphoric,
the phosphate Of lime being changed to
sulphate of lime (plaster), leaving the
phOsphoric acid uncombined, or in a free
condition, which renders it soluble in
water. Before applying any kind of fer
tllizer it is best to know which seems to
be the most effective. To apply potash on
land not deficient in that material is
useless expenditure, and consequently the
same may be stated of nitrogen and the
phOsphates. Select bags containing the
larger proportion of that which is mostly
needed, or procure the materials and mix
them on the PHILADELPHIA Record.

Fertilizers.

AS the spring opens farmers will begin
to get ready for corn and, as many of
them make use of artificial fertilizers, as
well as barnyard manure, it would be well
it they made themselves familiar with the
composition of such as they procure,
which, though not an easy matter without
the aid of a chemist, is still possible to a
certain extent. All bags are now labeled
with the ingredients of the fertilizers; and
if the user knows nothing Of them the in
formation is valueless, but to one who has
a knowledge of the different substances
Hsed by manufacturers the value of such
knowledge is great, as it enables the
farmer to calculate the cost of the fer
tilIzer, not only to himself but to the
manufacturer also. OF the many sub
stances used the most important is nitro
gen; but nitrogen cannot be procured and
used in free state. 1t is very costly and
yet one of the most plentiful of all sub
stances. AS it is always used in combi-
nation it must be purchased in the shape
of ammonia or as nitrate. Ammonia,
which is three parts hydrogen and one
part nitrogen, is itself also sold in a state
of combination, as it is gas when libe-
rated, although easily absorbed by water.
The sulphate of ammonia, which is sui
phuric acid and ammonia combined, is
richer in ammonia than any other nitro
genOus compound; and as it is of no adj
vantage to use it for agricultural purposes
in a purified condition, that which is
mixed with other fertilizers is known as
the crude sulphate and contains about %
per. cent. of ammonia. GuanO also con-
tains ammonia in quantities varying from
s to II per cent, according to quality.
Nitrate of soda does not contain ammo
mia, but the nitrogen is first united to a
large amount of oxygen, with one part Of
hydrogen, forming nitric acid, which,
when combined with soda, produces nj
trate of soda, the estimate of value being
not only for the proportion Of nitrogen,
but for the soda as an element of plant
food also. Blood, bones, leather, wool,
decaying flesh and many other substances

Minor Matters.

One of the greatest impositions prac-
ticed upon the farmers of the South I'M
dOubtedly was when they were induced
to give 81 a pound for a variety of sor-
ghum to which the name emilio Maize"
had been arbitrarily applied. While this
dhurra or branching sorghum is plant
of some value, it is nothing like what has
been claimed for it by some persons who
have sold the seed of it. As a forage
plant it is surpassed by several others,
and there are others that are superior to
it as grain producer. The editor of the
Mobile Register, DIR. W. B. Jones, and
many others share the opinion above ex-
pressed.
j. j. Fountain, IrwintOn, Ca, writes
asking for the address of breeders of Leg
horn and LaFleche fowls.
w. Il. Collins, Hawkinsville, Ca, would
like to correspond with breeders of bronze
turkeys and Leghorn fowls.
From other inquiries in reference to
poultry l should judge that local poultry
breeders would do we'll to advertise their
stock in these columns. S. A. G.

Planting Irish Potatoes.

The past few days, in having some
home-saved Irish potatoes prepared for
planting, 1 notice that in average it re-
quired 235 of them to fill peck measure
level full. They ranged in size from a
hickory nut to that of walnut with the
hull on. Nearly all allowed of being cut
into two pieces, many Of them three.
Each peck afforded $50 cuts or 1000 to the
bushel. At a distance of feet by Is
inches, bushels of such will suffice for
an acre. At feet by - inches it would
require nearly bushels. If planted
whole at the first distance 1t would have
required 10 bushels and at the latter 10
bushels. When planted very early it is
safer to have the cuts little larger than
one eye, but ordinarily the cuts should
not have but one eye if crop of large po-
tatoes is sought after. S. A. Z.
