LONDON, July 31.-The following addi-
tional Cabinet appointments are an
nounced: Attorney General, Sir R. E.
Webster; Lord Chamberlain. Earl Of Lat
HON; Judge Advocate General, RI. Hon.
w. T. Marriott. The appointments Of
Henry Matthew to the Home Secretaryship
was due TO q suggestion Of the Queen, who
was charmed by his vindication in the
Crawford trial OF the sanctities Of En-
glish home life. The Catholic press is
gra.ifed at Matthews promotion, as it in
itiates a departure from the Tory tradition
that no Catholics should be placed in
Office.
Hand-bills demanding Home Rule are
being circulated throughout Wales. The
circular says: 1.-THE time has arrived
when Welshmen should have the right to
govern themselves. The Parliament at
London makes laws not for the benefit of
Welshmen, but for the enrichment of land
lords and idlers. Welshmen demand the
privilege of making their own laws. They
demand free education, an abolition Of
landlordism and a disestablishment of the
Church."

Latest Particulars Concerning the
Shooting and Killing of Thomas
Wright and Ramon Oltvera.

Etko Independent. July 20.
VIM. Fry, q young man In the employ oil
John T. Wright in Ruby Valley, arrived al
Halleck Station last evening and got Ham
Mccain to telegraph TO this place for q
coffin in which to bury the body Of Ramon
Olivers, a Mexican vaquero we'll known In
this county, who, he stated, had been
killed the day before at Thirty-mile
Springs, south of Ruby Valley and lust
within the border OF White Pine county.
A message was also dispatched to Eureka
for a coffin. in which to inclose the remains
OF Thomas Wright, q brother OF John T.
and Ross Wright, who was killed at the
game time and place. The particulars OF
the fatal affray obtained from the most re-
liable sources are about as follows: A
party consisting of Wright, Ramon,
Moulton and others were gathering stock
in the vicinity OF the springs mentioned.
They had come TO camp and turned
loose, most of their riding horses, at
which Ramon took umbrage, abusing
Wright and Moulton in the foulest lam
gauge. asserting that they did not care
what became OF his stock 80 long as theirs
were secured. Becoming very angry he
threatened to kill Moulton. When Wright
expostulated with him Ramon became
furious and drawing his pistol fred a shot
at Wright, missing him, but immediately
sent a second shot, which passed clear
through Wright's body, instantly telling
him to the ground. Az Wright fell Moul-
ton put the only ball in his pistol through
the body of Ramon, killing him. the body
forward toward that Of Wright.

edy was peculiarly dramatic, but unlike
those put upon the stage, abruptly and

An asparagus bed from the seed is cheaper
than ono from plants, although it takes year
longer to come Below are Peter Hcndersons
directions for starting such bed: In the fall,
prepare the land by manuring, deep blowing,
and narrowing, making it rs level and smooth
as possible for the reception of the seed.
Strike out lines three feet apart and about
two to three inches deep, in which SOW the
seed by hand or seed drill as is most CON
venient, using from five to seven pounds of
seed to each acre. After sowing, and before
covering, tread down the seed in the rows
with the feet evenly; then draw the back of
a rake lengthwisc over the rows, after which
roll the whole surface As soon as the land
is dry and fit to work in the spring, the
young plants of asparagus will start
through the ground, sufficient to de-
fine the rows. AT once begin to cultivate
with hand or horse cultivator. and stir
the ground so as to destroy the embyro
weeds, breaking the soil in the rows between
the plants with the fingers or hand wcedcr
for the same purpose. This must be repeated
at intervals of two or three weeks during the
summer Us the success of this plan is ell
tircly dependent on keeping down the weeds,
which, if allowed to grow, would soon
smother the asparagus plants, that, for the
most weeds. In two or three months after
starting the asparagus will have attained ten
or twelve inches in height, and it must now
be thinncd out SO that the plants stand nine
inches apart in the rows. By fall they will
be from two to three feet in height, and, if
the directions for culture have been faith
fully followed, strong and vigorous When
the stems die down (but not before, cut them
Off close TO the ground, and cover the lines
for five or six inches on each side with two or
three inches of rough manure. The following
spring renew cultivation, and keep down the
weeds the second year exactly as was done
during the first, and so on to the spring of the
fourth year, when n crop will be produced
that will well reward all the labor that has
been expended Sometimes, if the land is par
tculary suitable, a marketable crop may be
secured the third year, but as rule it will be
better to wait until the fourth year before
cutting much, as this would weaken the
plants. To compensate for the loss Of years
time in thus growing asparagus from seed,
cabbage, lettuce, onions, beets, spinach or
similar crops that will be marketable before
the asparagus has grown high enough to in
terfere with them may be planted between
the rows of asparagus the first year of its
growth with but little injury to it, | had an
old friend near Macon. Ga, who grew an
acre of asparagus after this plan. 1t was sold
in the New York market, and brought him
an average of 81 900 u year for six years after
it camo into bearing He died some ten years
ago, and | presume the plantation was neg
lected, or it might have been in full bearing

Riparian Rights.

Ex-senator and Minister A. A. Sargent,
contributes an important paper to a late
number of The Overland Monthly, on the
subject of river rights He takes ground in
direct opposition to tho English common law
ON this subject According to that, the
water flowing in front of mans premises
belongs to that man. Mr.. Sargent declared
that this should be changed and that inland
owners of the soil should be permitted by
law to ditch and draw water from the river
through the riparian lands to their own
ground, This would open up to cultivation
a large amount of fertile land now lying
barren in California and other western states

In reference to the cotton batting" canning

cotton was simply tied over the canful of hot
fruit; in some cases there was a piece of

from becoming juice soaked. This seemed to
be the preferable way. The cotton is taken
just as it comes from the roll, the thickness
being about as it unwinds ard it is tied down
