Market Gardening at the North.

A paper read on market gardening by Peter Henderson before the New Jersey State Board of Agriculture, presents several important points for the con. sideration of farmers at the North. Fol lowing are ill brief some of the most salient features of this paper:
 Market gardening for the past ten years has been less remunerative, par ticularly to the growers in the vicinity of large cities, when transportation takes no longer than from three to six days from points South. In fact, it is doubt ful if the crops of cabbages, beets, let tuce, onions, radishes and other early crops in the hands of the different grow CTS have paid more than the actual cost of culture.
 The most important among the late crops of the market gardener in the Northern States is celery, which has for the last ten years probably paid clear profit of $500 per acre. Late cabbage probably pays half that amount, while late caulihower may average as great a profit as celery, but the crop is confined to special localities, while celery can be grown almost anywhere north of Wash ington, where the soil is ten inches deep and thoroughly pulyerized and manured. Other late crops, such as beets, turnips. tomatoes, carrots, horse radish, etc., are grown at profits rang ing from $50 to $500 per acre.
 But all early crops, either of vege- tables or fruit, have been less profitable in the vicinity of New York in the past ten years than at any time probably in the past half century. and are liable to be in the future, for both land and labor are cheaper at the South and tho rapidly increasing facilities for quick transporta. ton all tell against Northern growers, who rely upon early crops. This, how. ever, refers 10 large cities. In inland towns where vegetables and fruits art grown for use in near localities, tho Southern crops do not much interfere, So the growing of vegetables and fruits locally for towns of from 5000 to 50, ,0OC inhabitants seems likely to continue profitable business.
 Another branch of market gardening that often proves profitable is that O growing fruits and vegetables, for sum mer boarding houses and hotels.
 Manure and plenty of it is indispens able to successful market gardening No soil will produce fine crops of vege tables, or even fruits, without manure Stable manure is best, and Mir. Tender son advises that it be put on the lant annually at the rate of not less thaI fifty loads (tons) per acre, when it eal be obtained. In his opinion stabl manure is as cheap laid on the land a s per ton, as bone dust or guano at S4 or $50 per ton. Market gardeners il Hudson county, N. J., harrow in fit, tons of manure per acre in addition t half ton of guano or bone dust. Oi one acre of soil highly manured m, cultivated more money is often mad by market gardening than on twenty five acres of land in ordinary farming

Land Frauds in Dakota.

Special Agent James informs the Commissioner of the General Land Office, under date of Huron, D. T., July 30, that he made complaint before the United States Court against one J. B. Weeks, attorney and land agent at Huron, on a charge of perjury in the presentation of a duplicate soldiers declaratory statement No. 1888, Huron series of Patrick Kinsley. The original statement of Kinsley was presented at the Huron office on March 27, 1883, and was numbered 799, Huron series. The inspector states that upon the arrest of Weeks he made an examination of the papers in his office and found blank re- hnquishments to the number of about sixty, executed by the parties in whose names soldiers declaratory statements had been filled in the Huron office for five weeks past. From the office were also obtained original agreements and memoranda showing the formation of a partnership with which Weeks was con- nected for the purpose of dealing in soldiers declaratory statements. Further investigation outside disclosed the fact that Weeks had sold the preference right to parties other than soldiers to make entry of those tracts for value able consideration.

An Actress Locked in Her Trunk.

The performance of the "Mascotte" at the Newark Park Theater was attend ed with considerable danger to one of the principal singers, Miss Figman. After the curtain was down and the au- dience had left the theater, Miss Fig man started for the wardrobe trunk, her own having been sent away for repairs. While putting her costume in the bot tom she slipped and fell, at the same time grasping the cover to save herself, which was provided with patent safety lock. The cover descended and locked itself, and she was n prisoner. She screamed Justify, but as the trunk was water-tight, some precious moments were lost before Miss Jennie Pierce, a sister actress, discovered whence the sounds came. Miss Pierce called the gas engineer of the theater, and as the key could not be found, he proceeded to bore holes into the trunk to give the imprisoned woman air. It took ten minutes for Mir. Coyle to pry the trunk open with strong iron bar.
 The trunk is five feet long and three feet six inches in height, and is capable of accommodating a much larger person than Miss Figman.

Gross CareIesSness.

During the war with the South, there was certain company of raw recruits marching rapidly to the front. Their way to the outpost led along Q Virginia road which stretched over rolling country that was dotted here and there with clumps of trees. At turning they saw ahead of them pine grove which grew about hundred yards to the left of their path, but they were unaware that in it's midst a squad of rebel cavalry was lying in ambush. As the company got abreast of the timber, the guerillas opened scattering fire on their flank. It was the first time that the recruits had heard bullets singing over their heads, and, moreover, they had no idea that the enemy WAS within five miles of them, so that they were uncertain how to regard this demonstration. The squad halted, undetermined what to do; and one big German, after putting his hands to his mouth trumpet-fashion, shouted toward the trees-"Stob shoodinEi" and then turned excitedly to the officer in command, exclaiming: "What de tevil dey aloud Do nd dey know dey is some boobies here ?"-Life.

Harvesting Potatoes.

newspaper correspondent says: "1t is little early to begin talking about harvesting potatoes, perhaps, but word in season is better than advice too late. I have seen so many mistakes made with this crop at harvest time and have made so many expensive blunders myself, I would like to prevent inexpe- rienced readers from similar loss and an- noyance if I can. Experience has taught me the folly of digging potatoes that are to be kept through the winter before the tubers are quite ripe and the vines are thoroughly dead. In the first place, if dug before this period the skin is liable to peel off and result in decay. Then, too, the potatoes are in the best place possible, when left in the soil where they have grown, until there is cool, clear weather to harvest them in. When dug and stored too early potatoes are liable to wilt in either cellar or bin. Even when there is rot to contend with l believe in keeping the potatoes in the ground. It seems to me that exposing the diseased tubes to the air only hastens the rotting process. I leave them in the ground until the vines are quite dead, and select a day when the soil is dry and the weather clear. leave my potatoes in little piles exposed to the sun for few hours; long enough to be come dry previous to being stored"

English Mechanics.

On the 27th of June very intelligent party of English workman landed in New York city. They were bricklayers from Lancashire, and nearly all had their wives and children with them. They represented affairs in the old coun- try, so far as regards their class, as very bad, and said it was difficult to see how they could be any worse. From their statements it appears that bricklayers are paid 20 shillings per week in Llan- cashire, equal to about $5 American money. This statement shows how much better off mechanics ill the building trades are in this country. It is some- times impossible to appreciate the bless ings we enjoy until our attention is called to the privations of the mechanics of the

THE DYNANIITERS,
Dramatic Scenes in the English Court Rt
 Their Sentence.

The conl,lusion of the trial of John Daly, James Egan and William Mcdonnell in War wick resulted, ill a scene of most dramatic in- terest. McDtnnell who pleaded guilty to the charge of trea'onable felony, was released on bail to appear at any time if called upon. James Egan was sentenced to penal servitude for twenty years, and John Daly for life.
 After the verdict Daly was asked whether he had anything to urge why sentence should not be passed upon him. Amid the breathless silence Daly burst out into an impassioned speech. He argued that nothing had been proved against him, except that he had borne an assumed name. But the Queen moved about under an assumed name. Why had not he as good right? He asked for justice, not mercy. He was gratitied that he was on trial before Englishmen. There was no clap-trap, as in Ireland.
 He was, he said, guilty of treason and felony only as every Irishman who dearly loved his country, who prays for her peace and would die for her freedom, is guilty of the same crime. Like every member of his race he was prepared to shed the last drop of his blood for Ireland. The remedy for the hostility of the Irish to the British Crown was not he said, in repression and prosecution. "Gjve us," he said, tour freedom and our own laws; give us our own Parliament and our own Government That, and that alone, will satiefy the heart of Ire land D

March of the Mahdi.
HIS CAUSE EsPoUsED BY THE TRIBE OF
 BIsHAREEN ARABs-THE MU11NY.

BIsHAREEN ARABs-THE MUrINY.
 Fl Mahdi has ordered that a force of 90, 900 men from the Bagara and Shillok tribes reinforce Osman Digna. The Bishareens have decided in favor of the Mahdi. Kassala is closely blockaded. Eight of the Turkish mutineers at As- stout were sentenced to death. Two were shot. The sentence of the others was commuted to penal servitude for life.
 Further accounts of the late mutiny of Turkish troops at Assiout tend to show the serious nature of the affair, and the courage of Colonel Grant, who, leaving the other English officers and the armed residents to protect Assiout, followed the thirty-three mutineers down the line, accompanied only by five Egyptians. At considerable distance from Assiout, finding that they had crossed the river, he followed them and came up with them, At such odds, far from the possibility of succor, the five Egyptians might we'll have hesitated, if they did not side with the mutineers. Colonel Grants summons to the Turks to surrender was, therefore, the height of audacity, and when it was replied to by firing, the situation seemed desper- ate. The Colonel, however, killing the first man, wounded two more with suc- cessive shots, took hold of fourth and literally cowed the whole party into a surrender, bringing them back with him to Assiout. The second mutiny was suppressed as much by judgment as the other had been by courage. Some of the men refused to proceed, and in- sisted on returning. No immediate force being available, Colonel Grant gave his consent, thus dividing the party. While they were returning, the mutineers were met by twenty soldiers of the Duke of Cornwall's light infan- try. At the words Present, fire F the mutineers feel on their faces and were disarmed, and the remainder were easily | nanturpd
