How the Fire Boys of San Antonio Pro-
pose to Celebrate 1t.
The committees from the various fire
companies met yesterday in the hall OF
Fire Company No. to consider the ways
and means Of celebrating the Fourth OF
July. Alderman Schreiner called the
meeting TO order, and stated its objects,
wherein Fire Chief Duerler was elected
chairman and Eugene Stafiel secretary.
An invitation was read from Mr.. f,
Kerble and Fire Chief Duerler, asking
the fire companies to take lunch at the
springs after inspection, which was ac-
cepted with thanks.
1t was resolved that after inspection
which. takes place at 8 q. m, on the
Alamo plaza, the department march to
the Military plaza; from this point the
apparatus shall be sent home, and the
men will march to the turnstile, there
taking the cars for the springs.

"Ftndine Liberty ,Thro, Death.

This morning a Mexican, whose name
cannot be asCertained at the present
time. and who is sentenced to imprison-
ment for life, made an extraordinary at
tempt at suicide. He climbed to the
topmost grating, stuck his toes in the
iron work, suspended himself head
downwards, folded his arms, and crying
"adios," let himself drop on to his head
in the basement below. The man is
much injured, but the full extent OF his
injuries are not known. He wrote q
letter this morning, which may throw
more light upon the subject.

SORGHUM PLANTING.
A Semi-Tropical Plant Which Requires
Considerable Care.

A semi-Tropical Plant Which Requires
Considerable Care.
In planting sorghum, it should be
borne in mind that the plant is more or
less tropical in its nature, and hence tits
not wise to begin planting too early.
Directly after corn planting is soon
enough. The ground must be well
warmed up before planting, so as to
push the termination of the seed as rap
Idly as possible. Those who have grown
sorghum know how slowly is its growth
for the first week or two. This is the
critical time in the life of the crop, and
it is important that it be given all the
chances possible. This is the time, too,
when the weeds are pushing up and
growing with the greatest vigor. BY
deferring the planting, chances given
for weeds to start, and then be killed
Just before planting the sorghum.
TO keep the weeds from iniuring the
crop is matter of great Importance
We have no doubt that more loss re-
suits to sorghum-growers through foul
land than by any other means; and the
necessity of having the land for this
crop as clean as possible from weeds,
and to keep those that are there in sub,
lection, can not be too strongly urged
A good preparation for sorghum, both
90 clear the land of weeds and to give
good filth to the soil, is to pillow the lane
early in the fall, so as to give the seed
that are there a chance to terminate
before spring as early as the ground i;
In condition, letting it lay until time t
plant, when good narrowing will
such an implement as fertilizer, will
kill all weeds that have started, ant
leave the soil fine and mellow.
To hasten the termination of the seet
it may be soaked twenty-four hours il
water before planting. Do not, il
planting, cover the seed too deep
When one remembers how readily sor
phum and other seed will sprout whel
Scsttered on the surface of the or un,
and subjected to the spring rains,
would seem as though no covering wa
needed: and, in fact, but little covering
Is needed if the other conditions ar
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1886-06-12

right A general rule for covering seeds
is twice or three times their diameters.
If the soil is moist, seeds planted to that
depth will get the warm rays of the sum-
come mp sooner and stronger than when
planted deep. 1t is often the case that
good seed is planted so deep that the
entire vital energies of the seed are ex-
hausted before the sprout can reach the
surface; or, if it does manage to come
through, it is weak, and makes but
feeble growth.
As to planting in drills or hills, both
systems have their advocates, each
claiming that their system will yield the
most products. If the ground is quite
clean, drilling is probably the preferable
way; but if it's full of weeds, then plant
in hills at least, and it may be better to
plant in checks SO that the cultivator
can run both ways.
With the ground properly prepared
and free from trash and Jumps, the best
implement to cultivate sorghum with at
first is smoothing harrow. This can
be used until the plants are four or five
inches high, and, if used frequently and
after every rain, it will be found to re-
duce the subsequent wedding very much.
Start the cultiyator as soon as the har-
row is laid aside, and keep it agoing
until the sorghum is knce-high, after
which time its growth is so rapid that it
soon shades the ground and keeps the
weeds in check
The soil best suited to sorghum is a
fertile but sandy loan, not containing
an excess of vegetable matter, and well
drained. - COlmdR'S RuraL World.

Definition of the Typical Modern Conf
dental Agent.

dental Agent.
The confidential agent is Leporello
in nineteenth century dress; he is
Figaro with horseshoe pin and Mas
carille in paper collar In century
in which, half way through his career,
Gil Bias would have figured at the Old
Bailey, the Chevalier DIES Grieux before
Mr.. Paget at Hammersmith, and Gel
LIMA danced his last dance upon
nothing one fine Monday morning at
Wandsworth; in century that at any
rate admits to so few weaknesses, the
confidential agent is all that is left to
us Of those old rascally, laughing, ly-
ing Wallets of the old comedies of in
trigue, those shameless Toms of Eth
erege and the restoration, those active
Arlequins of Italy and lissom, bright
eyed Graciosos of Spain. If, then,
you can conceive a Mascarille without
his ribbons his ruff, his roll his wig and
his high heels; a Mascarille in a
frayed frock coat vaccinated and with
cork soles to his boots; a Mascarille
whose gay smile has yielded to fog and
| business troubles, whose hearing is not
( very good now for intervals on the
guitar, who is dull, decorous and at
tentive to your story as the commonest
of all common-law judges; if in your
imagination you can build up such a
figure you will have some idea of the
confidential agent of to-day as he
moves along the Strand and backward
and forward through the law courts

The unusual severity of the past
winter gave Englishmen an opportunity
of indulging in many sports common to
colder countries, but rarely enjoyed
there. Skating has been general, and
during the week that followed the new
year many toboggans and sleighs were
seen in and about the vicinity of Lon
don; but all these amusements were
eclipsed by a man who built an ice
yacht and was able to sail it for two
weeks in January on the frozen surface
of the Reading reservoir, to the delight
of the whole Deighborhood.

The Reported Find of n Petrified Rattle
snake by n Wheeling Man.
A disnatch from DObbin, ". Va, to the
Cincinnati Enquirer says: 1.-THE flowers
they bloom in the spring-time and snake
stories ut all times of the year. The latest
and best we claim. Several times pieces
of stone have been taken from the mines
here that had the appearance of being a
norton of n snake. To-day Mr.. =. G.
sullivan, a grocer of Wheeling,
reported the finding of huge snake, en-
tire. in the Davis mine, at Davis, Tucker
County, this State. The snake, according
TO his report, is perfect, save having been
broken in several pieceSin removInSlt from
its incasement. 1t seems from the shape
of head TO have been a RATHER. The scaly
appearance is nearly, if not quite, perfect
w retained, while it has been
slightly tlattened by the I'M
mense weight that has rested on top
of il. 1t was taken from the top OF the
LARGE vein of coal, is thirty feet long, six
inches through ut the biggest point, and
weighs POO pounds. The fossil is certainly
a very curious one, and thereby hangs Il
curious tale.
The climate must have been of a differ
ent character when it was entOmbed from
what it is now. A snake in this part OF
the state of any kind whatever Is never
seen. The Green Isle itself Is not treer
from them.
