A correspondent of the RHrdl Ne'e
Yorker describes the following
method by which An extraordinary
crop of watermelons was raised:
Holes were dug ten feet apart each
way. eighteen inches square and fif-
tees inches deep. These helss were
filed with well rotted manure, which
were thoroughly incorporated with
the soil. A low, fat hill was then
made and seed planted. When the
vines were large enough to begin to
run, the whole surface was covered
to the depth Of . foot or fifteen
inches with wheAt-straw. The straw
was placed close up around the
vines. No cultivation whatever was
gwen afterward; no weeds or grass
grew. The vines spread over the
straw, aud the melons matured clean
and nice. The yield was abundant,
and the experiment an entire sue
cess. This is surely worth trying.

THE FARMER.

Deep working Of growing corn Is
net good. 1t tears away roots that
are needed to hurry the growth Of
the corn, and it tends to hasten
evaporation. If grOund is well pre-
pared for planting, the shallowest
working which will keep the sur
face loose and destroy weeds, is the
best. IL is a mistake to run the
teeth or ahovels away down where
the roots ought to be enjoying alb
solute freedom.

A NEW MONOPOLY.

Tho Civil Service Commission Asked 20
Regulate a Troublesome Glass OF Gov
ernment Employees.
IL appears that thoyrespresentNtive walters Of
Washington have forwarded memorial to
the civil service commission, complaining Of
the system which has been permitted to grow
up to its present dangerous proportions" Of
allowing men who are regular employees in
the various government departments to hire
out their services at night as walters to the
great detriment of those who rely solely upon
this business for tho means to sup
port themselves and their families.
The regular walters consider it
unfair and discreditsble TO the government
service that men who receive an annual
salary Of from $500 to $1,000 per annum
should be permitted TO take tho bread out Of
the mouths Of women and children whose hus-
bands and fathersare not fortunate enough to
hold government positions. While legitimate
walters arc glad to realize $25 or $50 per
month for the support of their families, it
strikes them as rather strange that men who
earn S65 to $75 per month In the DEPART
ments should not have honor and pride
enough to be content with their very fat
places. Not only have they the cream. but
they want the SKINNED milk also. III the
messengers In the departments arc not salts
fed, the regular walters are ready to take
their places, and will most willingly, give
the poor outside DEVILS" as they are called,
a chance to turn an honest penny. Tho COM
missioners are asked by the memorialsts to
issue an order forbidding, on pain Of dismis.
SAL government employees from sleeping all
day on good salary, and waiting on table
at night at an equally good salary"

MIR. Cox and the Classics.

The genial and scholarly member from New
York, the Hon. S. S. Cox--long may he live
and prosper-found time, amid all the ankle
ties and perplexities attending tho then ap-
preaching contest over the house organiza-
tion, to contribute most exquisite defense
OF the study Of the ancient classics to the
celtic Jidg0:ine for November Never having
attempted Greek, we escaped the sad fate
which Mr.. Cox says befel "the accomplished
Adams family" of failing in it. This makes
one meek and dillident in any expression of
opinion upon the subject of its importance.
Mr., Cox certainly makes a strong case in be-
half of the Greek classics, but the strongest
part of his argument is not that i'll which he
enioins their study in the original tongue.
Macaulay went into such ecstasies as this
over the Greek language;
There are pages in the Greek dictionaries over
which 1t is impossible to glance without delight,
Every wold suggests some pleasant or striking i'm
age, which, wholly unconnected as II is with that
which precedes or that which follows, gives the
same sort of pleasure with that which We derive
from reading the "AdOnais" Of poor Shelley OF

Commissioner Dudley, of the pension bu-
reau; Gen. Vandervoort, of the Grand Army
of the Republic, and George +. Lemon, a
pension claim agent, were before tho house
committee on invalid pensions yesterday,
and expressed their views relative to Repre-
sentative Matson's bill providing for the re-
vision of pension laws by commission Of
five persons, not more than three Of whom
charged volunteer soldiers Commissioner
Dudley recommended that the commission
consist of eight members-two senators, two
representatives, the commissioner of PEN
sions, the medical referee of tho pension
bureau, one surgeon, and one lawyer. The
committee informally discussed the FEAST
bility of abolishing determinations on ac-
count Of rank in fixing the rate of pensions.

The resolutions of Mr.. Holman declaring
that unearned land grants to railroads ought
to be forfeited, and instructing the commit
tee on public lands to report bills for that pur.
pose, was not in the nature Of reflection
upon that committee, which has been nobly
doing its duty, but was simply an in
dorsement OF its work by the house.
The effect will be to save the
2jl members who voted with Mr..
Holman from being buttonholed by lobbyists
in the interest of the delinquent railway cor
porations. They have made their record,
ard no man who does not want to be thought
to have sold himself will retreat from his
position. There must have been powerful
influence at work upon the Massachusetts
delegation to cause seven Of her eleven sit
ting members to vote with the railroad inter.
ests, to wit: Messrs. Lyman, Morse, Ranney,
Rice, Russell Stone, and Whiting. The cor
porations mustered but eighteen votes in all

his interview to announce that the
p2oplo who had sold Wabash and
Texas and Pacific under the decline caused
by these Tumors would be sorry "when they
sec them 10 per cent, or more higher again"
Ii we did not know Mr. Gould to be incapable
of prevaricaton in matter like that of pre-.
dieting the probable value of stocks, we
might think he was only threatening his
slanderers merely for the sake of getting in
his work on that line. But tho thought is
foreign to US. We know Jay too we'll to
doubt his sincerity when he predicts an ad-

THE test oath is relic of past era. 1t is
only to be taken by those who do not object
to it, and of whom it is not therefore re-.
quired as protection against possible dis
loyalty. For those who in "the late un-
pleasantness" were of tho confederate side
we have long had simple oath relating
only to the future. Why one who was n
union man all through the civil war should
be required to deny under oath that he had
been against the government, while re-
nowned confederate generals are asked no
questions about it, is more than common
sense can tell The vote of 1s5 to II in the

THE meetings of Irish nationalists in Ire
land and of their opponents, the Orange
men, and the indifferent success attending
the attempts by the government to prevent
them, are full of danger. They are working
the body of the people up to a pitch of
desperation which bodies no good to the
public peace of the United Kingdom. The
deep-seated discomfort with the des-
potic methods which tho govern
ment has seen fit to adopt
cannot much longer be kept from bursting
out into the flames of civil war. If our peo-
pie and government were to extend one-tenth
of the sympathy toward struggling Ireland
that England did toward the late southern
tonfederacy, from Sumter to Appomattox,
the disturbances would not be confined to
ireland. But two wrongs do not mako a
right, and we shall never have to apologize
and buy peace rs England did after our
civil war,

terms of the bill applicable to all common
carriers engaged In the transportation of
property from one state to another, whether
by land or water, was disagreed to.

for the action of France aud Germany in pro-

tee will meet to hear arguments against the

THE Mutt tri,l came to an end yesterday

for his own benefit and not for manufacture
or sale. 1t was provided however, that the
