Grass.

The greatest need of farmers at the
present time is more grass. Not that
more land should be put down to grass,
but that the product per acre should be
increased. We are all too neglectful OF
our meadows, seeming to think that
grass will grow anyhow, and that when
land has been exhausted by growing
grain it is able TO grow grass without
any help, and should 60 on growing
richer as long as it is in grass. This is
all wrong. Two tons of hay take from
the soil 6S pounds of potash. 10 pounds
Of phoSphoric acid. and 100 pounds OF
albuminoids containing nearly SO pounds
OF nitrogen. This is q, much nitrogen
as is contained in - bushels of wheat.
and more potash and nearly as much
phosphoric acid, and yet farmer puts
all his manure on to his wheat field and
hardly ever gives any to the grass.
Consequently, two tons of hay per acre
is as rare as so or 40 bushels of wheat.
Manure. we know, is scarce, but it is
scarce because hay and fodder are
scarce. The only help, then, is to
procure artificial fertilizers for the
meadows, and by liberal fertilizing to
make the meadows the raainstsy of the
farm.-N. 7, Tines.

Mr.. Frye, of Maine, Is Senator from
that State. He belongs 20 a school of
disreputable politicians of which Mr..
Blaine is chief. When these men have
not their hands in the ballot-boxeS, they
have them deep in the public treasury;
when they are not eDncOcting some
scheme 10 plumber, they are manufact-
uring some new SANDER.
Frye has a certain facility of express
sion which. joinet to an utterly irre-
spOnsible Imagination. makes him a
valuable member Of the Name gag.
That State has been so demoraliZed bv
these constituencies pOlit clans tha. it
stands as the representative of the most
corrupt and disgraceful methods prac-
tieed IN American politics. There they
stop at nothing Bribery is W tn them a
matter of course; for. according to their
standards, politics is one form OF COM
merce, and every man who engages in
it must bay as well as sell.
Blaine is the represents tive-the

Some of the Street Scenes in the Cities of

and having the slender stock of silk,
cotton. porcelain or miscellaneous
goods displayed partly in front, where
the shopkeeper, usually a woman, sits
behind it, or on shelves at the sides. or
in the rear: the crowds that fill the
streets, and the peculiarities of dress,
which, though few, are strongly marked.
The principal articles of attire are,
when the wearerS can not afford silks,
brown or drab TUNES of cotton, worn
one over the other to secure the requi-
site degree of warmth. The material
is usually European, cOlOred by native
dyers. The TUNES worn by men and
women are the same in style, the latter
being little longer. The hats of the
men and women are a distinctive fea-
ture The former are conical, often
two feet broad at the base, and simply
slipped on over the head without re-
gard to fit. Those worn by the women
have the form of a shallow cheese box,
are three feet or more in diameter,
their pose being maintained by a
cap in the center, fitting the
head, and by elaborate and cost,
ly silk tasSels and strings attached
to the sides and passing under the chin.
The woman's hat. though so large, is
made principally of palmleaves,
strengthened with small rattans, and is
light The mans hat is of bamboo
mating and rattan, and, with its metal
peak. considerably heavier. These hars.
seen in large numbers. are the most
noticeable feature in street scenes. The
style was adopted by the natives be-
cause umbrellas and parasols, being
sign of official dignity, were forbidden.
and some shelter from the sun and rain
was necessary. The interdict is now
removed, and cotton umbrellas are as
common as in the streets of London,
the natives, and even the coolies, dis
playing them open with singular oSten-
tations when there is neither sun nor
rain. The shoe worn by men and
women is kind of leather sandal, made
flat for the men. but rising high in
front and sometimes neat and snowy
when used by women. Even Anamese
ladies of rank seldom wear stockings.
The shOemakers are women, who ply
their trade sitting at the street corners,
with a small amount of leather beside
them. The person needing shoes walks
up to one of these daughters of Cr:spin,
explains his wants, and waits while the
shoes are being fabricated. Thongs
of leather or cloth are either ready or
prepared at the moment. which are in
tended to pass between the toes. These
are passed through the sole and at
tached with pegs, thin heel is pegged
on. and in ten or fifteen minutes the
customer is equipped and walks away
well shOd and satistied.-COr. San

richer in their exposures, more conciu-
sIve than anything produced against
Tweed or against Dorsey. vet FRYE, who
was pGrticeDS criminals, is Senator from
Maine, and Blaine is the recognized
leadec of his party.
President Cleveland has recently ap-
pointed TO Office q man from Maine
who is just now Democrat His prin-
cipal claim to support, and it is 4 strong
one. is that he is an opponent of Blaine
and has incurred his displeaSure. Per
haps he has done or countenanced ac
tons which elsewhere would not be
commended, but rs he lives in Maine,
under the cOrrupting influences of q
Blaine-Frye dynasty, he shoIld BE-
judged charitably. By the appoint
ment he is removed from the impure
atmosphere of Maine, and is thus given
time for repentance
Blaine and Frye still feel that they
are entitled to some consideration from
this Administration. and expected by
bargaining and intrigue to keep all their
enemies out of office.
This expectation has been diSappoint-
ed. Mr.. Cleveland has actually ap-
pOluleu Il IHau from hdine 10 ONCE WlLn-
out consulting Frye. This is taken as
q declaration of. independence on the
part of MIR. Cleveland. and FRYE re ort:
that Secretary Lamar is u bloody-ban1
ed murderer. that he has murdered ter
thousand men in Mississippi. and after
this actually stole the vote of the State
Mr.. Frye should have made this dis
covery during the campaign; it would,
if subStantiated, have been worth ter
thousand votes in New York. wherl
they would have done most good.
He should have detected this mon
Strous crime before he voted TO confirm
the nomination of Mr.. Lamar as Secr,.
tary of the Interior. 1t is difficult te
conceive how 4 man so sensitive aS Mr..
Frye can reconcile TO his conscience his
action in putting into an Office man
who has slain his ten thousand.
The indications are that the day fol
the aScendancy Of the Maine gang. OF
OF those who depend on methods which
distinguish them, has passed. Politics
will hereafter be less of Il trade anc
more of Il science, and let us hope tina
even in Maine men like Frye and Blaine
will lie relocated to private life

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Bring flowers: for back to kindred dust
We give our dead to-day:
Bring flowers, upon a lOng-tried heart
In toil-worn hands TO lag.
But not for her the florist art
Shall heap the sweet regret,
OF pansy and of heliotrOpe,
Tea-rOSe and mignOnette.
The frosts of more than ninety years
Have bleached the locks of gold
That lay upon her mothers knee
In many a shining fold,
When she, so wrinkled now, and gray,
knclt. at the twilight fair,
a little, rosy, dimpled child,
And learned her earliest prayer.
OF those who watched her infant years,
Or shared her childish play,
Or knew her girlhOOd's hopes and fears,
Not one is here to-day.
Nor is there of that later group,
She saw about her bloom,
One left to weep beside her bier.
Or lay her in the tomb
But still her old home stands, embowered
In fragrant lOcust-trees;
The sweet-brier that her father trained
Still swectens every breeze.
The rOse-trees that she used to tend
Beside the doorstep grow,
And grass-pinks load the balmy air
With hints of long ago.
Across the wall the pleasant wood,
Wherein her girlhOOd straycd,
Still breathes its wealth of fragrance out,
Still spreads its cooling shade.
There. haply, meath the OdOrous pines
Her early dream of love
Made sweeter all the woodland scents,
and charmed afresh the grove.
Then bring the bayberry and the fern,
The lOcuStS heavy plume,
The brer-rose and the cinnamon
In the old beds that bloom.
Bring spicy pinks and lilies sweet
Beside the wall that blow
Such lilies as that garden knew
a hundred years ago.
Fragrant with loving deed and word
And old-time cOurteSies,
Her life its fitting emblem found
In flowers such as these;
"A life whose quiet, modest bloom
We knew but in decay
The lingering sweetness of rose
Slow whitening away.
Apart from all she loved in youth,
She ends her pilgrimage.
This face we hide, to us has been
Always the face of age.
But mindful of her early home,
Her g:rlhood's sunny hours,
We lay upon the aged breast
The dear, old-faShiOned flowers.

A GYPSY CAMP.
no" the Men and Women Manage to En-
ploy Their Time.

A gypsy camp. with tents and wagons
horses, dogs, babies. hard working women
and lazy men. is located in the wood:
on the east side of Fifty-second Street,
north of Baltimore Avenue, West Phila.
delphia. There are over fifty persons.
young and old, in the camp at present
and more are expected every day. Some
have been there all winter, while other:
have just arrived. They came from the
South where they have been camping
out all winter in the pine woods of North
Carolina and East Tennessee. The
gypsies were found last night sitting
around little fires or attending to their
horses. They are not very communi-
cative set, and they looked with evil
dent suspicion upon an intruder.
why don't You build up a more
cheerful fire." was asked of a group OF
men and women sitting around d little
heap of half dying embers.
Woods scarce" was the laconic re-
ioinder.
Where do you come from?"
"WaleS"
''Lately?"
"NOrth Carolina"
After an hour of this kind of con, er-
sation 1t was discovered taat most of
them are named Lowell which is the
name OF the queen of the gypsies, who
d ed in New Jersey last summer. Some
OF the party were formerly with the
''ROmany Rye" company in New York,
but they tired of theatrical life, prefer
ring to live in the open air with their
dogs and horses. Several negroes are
in the camp. They came with the gyp-
sizes from the South. and take care of
the horses. One of the women, or
ladies' as the men called them, was
asked what she charged to tell il fortune.
Il wouldn't think of it for less than
two dollars" she said.
do many people have their fortunes
told?"
Yes, indeed. Many ladies' come out
here to have us tell their fortunes, and
they pay well for it. There's more old
women than young girls; and men, they
come, too, very often.
The women are the workers of the
camp. Every morning they get up
early, build the fires and cook the break
fast. Then they take their baskets and
bundles and go down into the city to
pebble c!othespins and baskets and to
tell the fortunes OF credulous servants
and others. They always take their
babies with them. They make sort of
sling of shawl and carry the baby in
it, leaving their hands free to carry the
baskets. The men spend their time
loafing around taverns and stables and
trying to trade horses.
The gypsies live well. They will buy
nothing but the best of everything. The
best butter, meat and vegetables are
carried back to camp every evening by
the women. People who live in tho
houses near by say that the gypsies
don't steal from them. The reason
given is that they know they would be
the first persons suspected and are too
sharp to run the risk of being arrested.

inches to the east since the big fire OF
1876. The Maynard block, in Golden
Hill. is known to be gradually sliding
down in the direction OF Gold Canyon.
and has moved nearly two feet since
its erection. This movement is SO
gradual that it does not affect iii any
manner the safety of the building, As
the ground to the depth of nearly one
hundred feet to the bed rock is known
to be continually sliding. 1t is we'll
known fact among practical miners
that the ground on which Virginia
City is built is what is termed slide.
