I FARMERS,
READ THE FOLLOWING:

STAUNTON, VA, May Goth, 1885.
am pleased to be able to speak favorably of
fertilizer manufactured by Mr. Reeves Gait of this
city
+ After careful analysis I found it to contain
about the average percentage OF phosphoric acid
and potash of the best high-grade fertilizers of
market and an amount of ammonia considerably
higher In this fertilizer, the price falls several
dollars below it's commercial value. This is point
greatly in its favor.
The commercial value must be understood to be
appreciated. 1t is a value of SO much per pound
placed upon each constituent; take ammonia for
instance: A committee of chemists OF the various
State Agricultural Experiment Stations, which
made these valuations has placed value OF tWen-
ty cents per pound upon ammonia. Now let us
take this fertilizer; it contains upwards of three
per cent of ammonia. This would be over sixty
pounds to the ton, or value for ammonia
alone of more than twelve dollars per ton, The
sum of the value of the other constituents found
in the same way gives the commercial value.
This fertilizer is in an excellent condition for
drilling. owing to its low percentage of moisture

An Intelligent Sentinel.

Mike is a private gentleman in the
army during the recent unpleasantness.
He is on picket at the witchiGg hour of
midnight. Under the ~starless sky the
voice of a horses footsteps are heard
approaching in the shadowy distance,
and the solitary holseman approaches
the post all alone, by himself, with no.
body with him.
Halt r shouts the vigilant sentinel;
who goes there?'
The officer Of the day" replies, the
captain, for it was he.
".Ah," says the sentinel, in a fine
burst of contempt, "to the dickens wild
ye; none ay yer CANNON wild Il sintry; q

officer az the day to be prowlin"around.

and along to the "gyard house" he
went--BURDETTK.

With His Little Eye.

An chronological bore had just begun
afresh on the eye of a common house

size OF its owner, to have the largest or

finish his sentence Sydney Smith was
vehemently down on him once more

character. It now appears that the
French crusade has proved most disas-
trous to the mission. The premises, in
Guiding schools, suitable dwelling for
the missionaries and a substantial
church, have been completely destroyed
by the Chinese mob, and the converts
have been robbed and beaten.
ROYAL CoNvEBEs.
One of the most powerful Of the native
princes in Central Africa is King Mtesa.
In the Uganda district he is supreme.
He has given the missionaries from first
TO last no little trouble. He was at first
friendly and gave them a cordial well
come. Then he announced his deter
mination to abandon Christianity and
Islamisln, and to carry his people back
to paganism. Latterly he has been
more tolerant, and the mission work has
been carried on at Uganda, where a
church has been built. The latest &C
count is that his two f~avorite daughters
have been received into the church at
their WI earnest request. The example
will not be without its influence.
MR.. REECHRR ON COUGHING.
After the long prayer Sunday morn
ing, in Plymouth Church, Mr.. Beecher
took occasion to extend his sympathy to
all who were afflicted with colds; "but,"
said be. "while those who have colds
must cough, I have noticed that the
time to cough can be controlled. For
instance, I noticed during the prayer
there were very few outbreaks, while as
soon as it was over there was a perfect
wave Of coughing which swept over the
whole church. Now, [ want to say that
coughing is injurious, and therefore l
hope you will try and control your
selves" No coughing was heard during

Changes In the Solar System.

The phenomena attending earthquakes
give continuance to the theory OF the
origin Of our solar system known as the
Nebular Hypothesis. According to this
theory, the solar system was once avast
fire mist, which gradually condensed
and finally evolved the sun, the planets,
and their satellites. Originally mean
descent, as these bodies parted with
their heat, water and dry land appeared.
and finally organic life, vegetable and
animal made its appearance. Our earth.
Mars, and possibly Venus, are the only
planets, it is believed, capable Of su5-
tanning the various forms Of life such as
we are acquainted with. Jupiter and
Saturn are known to be huge globes of
tire and mist, small suns in themselves.
without life on their surfaces; but per
haps sustainasg4Afe on the satellites hv
which they arelurrounded. One other
fact has beer. established by scientific
demonstrationA that IS, the identity OF
the materials that compose the universe.
We now know. that suns, stars, planets,
and moons are composed of carton.
hydrogen, sodium, iron, and other
chemical substances such as we are IA
mlllar with on this earth. The universe
we live in is full OF mystery, and it is
good for all of us occasionally TO lift
our thoughts to the marvels suggested
by astronomy and the study of physics.
1t IS we'll said by Kant, the philosopher:
There are two things that are % ne
perennial sources Of awe and wonder,
the starry heavens above US and the
moral law within. '-Dem0rest's N0nfhiy.
