Early Peas,

There are some vegetables which
we can buy in market as good as we
can grow at home. Peas are not ons
of them. We get peas from the South.
they are very fair, but lack the del
ichcy those from our W garden.
1t is desirable, therefore, to get peas
as early as possible. The sweet, wrink-
led peas are not, and never will be, as
hardy as the smooth varieties. The
same is + of sweet corn; the extra
early kinds are not as sweet as the
later varieties; but, like peas, they r
very good until we get something bet
ter. The small, hardy varieties of
peas. like the Early Kent, will stand
rough treatment. They can be sown
the moment the frost is out of the sur
face soil. and after they are up, it is
seldom, if ever, that they are serious
~ injured by frost. A warm, sandy
soil is desirable, with a southern ex-
posture, and if on the eastern or south
ern side OF a wall or board fence or
building, so much the better. The
soil can hardly be too rich. 1t is a
mistake to spade fine, light, sandy
land deep for early peas. The surface
soil, which has been exposed to the
sun is many degrees warmer than tho
soil below, which has only just thawed.
Inc later varieties, planted when the
SOIL Is dry and warm, can be covered
with two, three, four, or even five
inches of soil, deeper or shallower as
the soil is heavy OF light; but the
small, early peas should rarely DO
covered over two inches deep, and if
the soil is wei and cold, an inch is
sufficient. AS oon as the peas appear,
draw some earth up to the row with a
hoe or rake, and ii the soil is dry and
light, half an inch or so of soil NAV DO
pulled between or over the peas. If
the soil is moist and heavy. it NAV be
well to scatter a little stable manure
on the side and on the top of the row.
A board placed edeewise on the north
side of the row will reflect the avs of
the sun.
Another method of fastening early
peas is to soak them in warm water
for twenty-four hours ana then NIX
them with moss orlight sand and keep
them warm and moist until they
sprout. Then SOW them in the ordi-
nary way-using plenty of seed. We
have sown them when sprouted an
inch long. bnt tits better, if the wealth
er Is not suitable, to check the growth
OF the peas in the house by placing
them in q cellar or other cold place
II the land is rich, thick planting is
desirable, as it favors early maturity.
we make the row three or four inches
wide and deep, and SOW the peas in
the rows, for their whole width, al
most as thick as they will lie without
touching each other.-AmcyIcan .4gri.

Forwarding Garden Vegetables.

When the gardener gives a plant a
SPECIAL advantage the result of which
is to cause it to produce or mature
earlier than it otherwise would, he is
said to forward" it. Tomatoes will
bear long before frost, if the seeds are
sown IN the open ground. BY sowing
seeds in a hot-bed and raising the
plants, the tomato is forwarded. If
the seeds were sown last fall, and the
plants kept IN u hot-house to produce
fruit in the early spring, that would
be 'forcing." Cucumhers are forced
under glass, but they may also be for
Warded. For illustration: to forward
the cucumber, fill some four-inch pots
with line, rich soil. SOW half a dozen
cucumber seeds in each, and set tho
pots in hot-bed. or stand them in n box
which can be set on the sill of the
Kitchen window. Another method Of
starting the seeds. if Il good piece OF
turf can be had, is this: Take IN a
thick, strong sod, and lit it to a shall.
low box with the grassy side down.
The sides of the box need not be ovpr
three inches high. With u strono
knife, cut the sod into squares, which
should be according to the size of the
DoX' three or four inches square. Cut
quite down through the gra~ss-roots and
tops, to the bottom of the box, to mako
sure that the pieces can be separated
readily. Sow several seeds in the
earth OF each piece of sod, which is of
course bottom or earth-side IN, Set
this box of sods in the window or in a
hot-bed, as directed for the pots.
Either pots or sods must be watered
as needed. When the seeds are m ard
the plants begin to show their rough
remove all but two or three In
each pot, or piece of sod. Do not pull
out the extra plants. as it will disturb
the roots of those which are to be left.

noticed that, with but one exception lthe C., Il.
81 IL a decrease is shown in the number of cars
moved. East and west roads, however, seem to
have suffered in their business the most SER
iously.' From this it will be seen that the freight
men have good reason to congratulate them
selves on the volume of business now moving.
While there is little flour, wheat and lumber
moving Eastward there is a more than an ay-
erage December movement of corn, cotton,
oats and live stock. West-bound the ton
mage was fully 5 per cent heavier last
week than in the week ending Dec. II, which is
rather a surprise. North and south roads are
doing but little through business, but with all
roads there is a very satisfactory local traffic. 1t
is said that 20 per cent. of the business the In
dianapolis roads are now handling is local in
character, which is an unusually large per cent
for this season of the year, and, what is still bet
ter, it is said that local rates, as we'll as through
rates, are now better maintained than at any
time in the last three years. Even the Western
roads are now studying the tariff when they in
crease a rate. Below is given the number of
cars received and forwarded at this point in the
week ending at IL o'clock Dec. 20. as compared
with the corresponding week last year:

THE Yankee schoolmaster in Blackville. s. @

THE Yankee schoolmaster in Blackville, s. O.
writes an interesting account of the growth Of his
school. When he went to Blackville, a little mora
than y year ago, there was no school building, no
school furnitc"e, and little interest in education, and
that divided into factions. All were discouraged ut
repeated failures by Southern fraudulent teachers.
The Yankee teacher opened with eight scholars in y
large hall. AS soon as the people found out that there
was a school under their very noses shey begin tost-
tend-Jews, Catholics and Pro.estants of all denomi-
nations. Soon a brick courthouse was fitted up, and
in less than five months the town had the best school
house in South Carolina outside of the large cities,
and as good a college preparatory as any in the State.
and a class of about seventy pupils. The sympathy
of the whole town, except half a dozen ex-"Ku-klux,"
is given to the enterprise, a complimentary evidences
of the energy of the schoolmaster and his two New
England assistants.

Anti-ChineSe LepisIation.

A FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 19.-The case of
jug All Lung. on appeal from the United States
District Court to the United States Circuit Court,
was submitted by Judge Sa wyer this afternoon.
Lung was formerly a resident Of this country,
but left for China, after having obtained a
return certificate. which he claimed was
stolen from him in China. Subsequently he re-
turned here. and a writ of habeas corpus was
sued out in his behalf in the United States Dis
trict Court. The District Attorney interviewed
on behalf of the United States, and denied the
jurisdiction OF the court on three grounds: First,
that the Chinaman was not restrained of his
liberty, because he could go anywhere
in the world, except to the United States;
second, that all such cases come under the
jurisdiction of the post collector; third, that
secondary evidence relative to the C~hinaman's
prior residence was inadmissible when the law
prescribed his certificate as the sole means of
Identification. The plea was overruled by United
States District Judge Hoffman, and Judge
Sawyer to-day affirmed the Judgment of the
lower court. He concluded the decision by say
ing:
In order to present all these questions, and
obtain a ruling on them, [ shall sustain the de-
cision of Judge Hoffman, and let the case 60 to
the Supreme Court on these points"
District-attorney Hilbert Immediately gave
notice of an appeal. This is a case ON which
much Congressional anti-Chinese legislation will
depend. and hence it is considered of great i'm
nOrtancn.

Drinking Saloons in Kansas.

Revival of a HideOus Spectacle.

an HAoiE
Tie Roman newspapers are protesting, not
without cause, against the extraordinary revival
of the so-called Drama of the Dead" which was
again celebrated this year upon the Campo Santo
ON All Saints Day. The horrible custom, more
honored in the breach than the observance, had
been discontinued for fifteen years-that is to
say, ever since the naturalization of the capital
of Italy. Some pious persons, however, seem to
have thought that it would be a pious deed to
restore this hideous spectacle, and it was carried
out with considerable expense of money, labor,
and perverted ingenuity. Skulls, bones and en-
tire skeletons were collected from rifed graves,
and a piece called The Vision of Ezekiel in the
Valley of Dry Bones" was exhibited to the faith
full and the scornful. The real impiety of this
odd notion of religion and stage was made the
more manifest by the loudly expressed suspicion
of some naturally indignant persons that the re
mains of their kins folk had been employed,
among others, for the hideous theatrical repre-
sentation. Whether their suspicious were or
were not well founded it seems impossible to de-
eide. But such an abuse and insult. both of
the departed and the living, is quite practicable
with Italian burial customs.

Legal and Illegal Matrimony.

CLEVELAND, o.. Dec. 23.-A peculiar and
dramatic scene was witnessed in the Probate
Court to-day. Two years ago F. x. Poffinger
left his home in Bavaria to seek his fortune in
America. He left behind an afianced wife,
Marie Epp, by whom he had two children. He
loved her, and promised to send for her as soon
AS he could provide a home. In New York,
Franz met Jennie Thoemoehlin, whom he mar
ried. The pair came to Ohio, and went to live
in Toledo. Two months ago, at his wife's solicit
tation. Franz sent for Marie Epp and
his two children. They came on the first
steamer. and in due time they reached Toledo.
When Marie Epp learned of the marriage she
almost went wild, and Franz and his wife were
equally cast down. Franz, to adjust matters.
bought twenty acres of land near Toledo, and
the whole family attempted to dwell together in
peace, but to no avail. They drifted into Cleve-
land to-day, and asked all the city officials, high
and low. to help them out of the dilemma. They
were referred from one officer to another, until
they brought up in the Probate Court. Franz
offered the wronged woman the Toledo farm,
but she at first refused it, saying that marriage
alone could heal the matter. Later on she J alf
agreed to accept it, and the trio will pass Sun
day here and fix their differences if they can.
Both women are intelligent and quite good
looking.

Rapidly Acquired Wealth.

II is said that the most rapid instance of
money getting known to the age is that of Jay
Gould. That at the age of fifty one years he
can retire with such an immense fortune shows
that the avenues to wealth which have opened
since the era of railroad building began have
been wonderfully increased. In commenting on
Goulds retirement, the New York Mail says:
Accepting his own explanation as meant in good
faith, and his retirement to become really a fact
at the beginning of the year, it will be seen that
his withdrawal from a field of full activity takes
place at a much earlier age than any Of his great
predecessors found it necessary. The two chief
dry goods merchants of the last score of years.
Stewart and Clafin, died while still in the
harness; the elder Vanderbilt retained his con-
nection with railroads until his final sick
ness, and the late Vanderbilt was older than
Mr.. Gould now is when he retired from the
presidency of the New York Central. The
greatest of the Astors did not abandon fur
trading and commercial enterprises until he was

Robert Dunn. The murder took place at the

Burr was drinking heavily, and becoming
enraged at the proprietor of the saloon, drew a
revolver and began firing. One of the shots
struck Dunn, killing him instantly. Burr
started to run, but was captured by the
marshal. who succeeded in getting him
