THE GERMAN HOG.

American Ignoramus.
Why Prince bismarck Refused to Honor
the Resolutions Of the Amer.
lean Congress.

BERLIN, Feb. 2l.-The North German
Gazette (Bismarck's organ) repels the at.
tack of the opposition newspapers on the
decree Of Bismarck relative to the Lasker
resolution. 1t says they o not express the
slightest Indignation at the attempt Of a
foreign body to interfere in the internal
affairs Of Germany. The request addressed
to Bismarck by Minister Sargent was of
such a remarkable character that 1t
could only be explained by his igno-
rance Of diplomatic usage. 1t
amounted to nothing less than asking the
Emperor to indorse the vote Of a foreign
body and hand it vised to the Rechstag,
for BIsmarck's duty is simply to execute
the command of the Emperor. Bismarck
is moi In the employ OF an international
Democracy, but the German Emperor. In
the some way that the American Congress
had attempted to cause the glorificstion OF
the late leader OF the Secessionists by the
Emperor, so could any foreign Progresis,
body seek to give a vote OF confidence in
Herr Richter, or Socialist body similar
vote in Herr Bebel.
THE NATIONAL GAZETTE SAYS:
"Bismarck's decree is deprived of all
sting for Congress and the American PEG.
pie, because the whole affair is made en-.
tirely matter Of internal German
policy
THE BERLINER TAGEBLATT
says the revolution Of the American Con.
gress which Bismarck is unwilling to i'm
part to the Reichstag was long ago con.
veyed to the whole nation through the
press. Indeed. the publication Of the
resolution in the Official Gazette shows
Bismarck himself arranged to give tht
German people what he refused to trans
nit to the Reichstag, namely demon
stration Of respect to Kerr Lasker by the
people upon the other side of the ocean.

Murray was very groggy at the start, but
led at Henry, who rushed him to the ropes
and rapid hitting was induldged in. They
broke away and Murray led, Henry lodged
the blow, and countered with his right.
The fist landed between the point Of the
Jaw and under lip and Murray was knocked
senseless to the floor. He failed to respond
to the call Of time, and Henry was awarded
the fight. Murray was raised to his feet,
but could not stand, and was carried away
by his friends. The last round lasted two
minutes and fifteen seconds and the time OF

Methods Of Applying Manure.

After careful study and experiment l
have adopted the rule of using most of
my manure at the surface. The only
exception to this rule which / make is
when l wish to manure very heavily to
permanently enrich a garden plot, and
then / plough under a liberal coat of
manure and top dress in addition.
When manure is to be used for wheat,
so convinced am 1 of the superiority of
top dressing that l would not allow a
man to draw out the manure before
ploughing the land if he would do itfor
nothing. We want the ap-
piled to the wheat crop so as to act as
quickly as possible, for the wheat has a
short time to grow in the fall, and it is
important that it get well rooted and
make growth enough to protect the
roots before winter sets in, and the finer
the manure is, and the nearer the sur
face, the quicker its effects will be on
the young crop. 1 am positive that by
filming our manure and using it at the
surface we can double its value for the
wheat crop.
Another and still more important
reason for using manure as a topdress-
ing is that with the manur so applied
we have aysah seed-bed for clover,
which makes a stand and vigorous
growth much more certain than if the
manure was ploughed under. I believe
clover to be the cheapest and best fer
tilizer within reach Of the farmer, and
that the clover will furnish a better
condition of soil for a succeeding crop
of corn or wheat than the n does.
Using, manure as a topdressing on
wheat when clover is sown-as 1 be.
lieve it always should be-enables the
to do double duty. First, il
largely increases the wheat crop, and
second, it grows a fertilizing crop
which requires no heavy hauling OF
spreading, but is just where the farmer
wants it without extra labor. The only
objection 1 have aver heard urged
against the practice is the extra labor
of filming the n In reply to this
I would say, first, that the plant car
not use the manure till it is thoroughly
decomposed; second, we save enough
labor in drawing to the field in the re-
duced bulk and increased ease of hand.
ling to largely compensate for this Ia
Dor; and lastly, this fine manure will

The Rich Doctors.

Enormous sums of money would be
amassed by a celebrated doctor
in the days of academic prosperity.
To retain his services a university
would give him almost any terms
he liked to ask. Taddeo, of the
Florentine University, Villain tells us,
was the most reputed medical man of
his day. He was deemed a second Hip
pocrates, and summoned by the rich to
all parts of Italy. The Pope fell i'll
and SEM for him; when asked his fee
Taddeo claimed 100 ducats a day, at
which the invalid Pope demonstrated.
Taddeo was firm, told stories of what
large sums other Princes had given him
and limited at stinginess on the part of
his Holiness. The Pope recovered from
his sickness, and, ''to purge from him
self all suspicion of avarice," he sent
Taddeo no less than 10000 ducats. The
doctor was a man of pious intent and
spent this splendid fortune on the erec-
ton of "a church. The University
of Modena gave Suzzara 1850 lire
and a piece of land in their
district on condition that he would
live among them for his life. Suzzara
accepted the gifts, but the annals of his
life show that he did not stick to his
part of the bargain, for he wandered
from place to place amassing wealth,
and died far away from Modena. SUI
cara was a man who extremely loved
dress, great professor though he was.
I e is re%proachfully alluded to by a
fellow-doctor thus. 'Men of science
should not go about in silken robes
covered with colored embroidery, such
as Suzzara used to wear" Again,
Professor Baldo spent a wandering life
in spite of an oath to remain in one
university. He taught for thirty-three
years in his native Perugia, and then
passed six years at the Florentine UNI
versity; from thence he went for three
years to Bologna, for one to Pisa, for
where he died worth a large sum of
money. This moving to and fro was a
curious feature in Italian university life,
for not only did the professors travel,
but they were followed by most Of their
devoted scholars who at the time we're
being instructed by them; thus the de,
parture of a celebrated professor meant
IL regular exodus from the place they
left and a signal for great reioicings
when they arrived at their proposed
destination. Not only the cities but
the Popes and Emperors gave to the
professors large gifts-to our friend
Giovandrea, of Bologna, Pope John
XIII, gave a feudal estate and in
their old age they were well looked
after.-Brttish Quarterly Re0ieW.
