MANURE TO HASTEN THE MATURITY or CoTroN.
i have some very rich new land that has
been cleared about three years that l intend
planting in cotton. The land grows cotton
very tall, but does not fruit well; natures slow
ly. What is the best fertilizer to use OH it 80
as to make it "boll' we'll aud mature early?
ASswER-Acid phosphate, or superphos-
phate, or dissolved bone-three names for the
same thing-is the best thing for the land de-
scribed. About l60 pounds per acre in the
drill will suffice. This, in connection with
very shallow, surface culture, ought to hasten
maturity Of the crop. Deep culture promotes
growth Of weed; this is inimical to early matur-
ity. 1t would be we'll also to cease ploughing
rs early in the season as it can be safely done,
having due regard to the crop not becoming too
foul afterwards.-Southern Culf,paior.

No PASTURE FENcEs.-The Maryland
Farmer, which, by the way, comes out with
its January number in new cover and new
type, takes strong ground in favor of feed,
ing cattle in yards and sheds instead of let.
ting them roam over large pastures, which
must be fenced at great expense. 1t is so
much cheaper for farmer to fence in his
own stock than to fence out all the stock
of his neighhors, and then an acre will yield
three'or four tunes as much cattle food, if
it is cultivated and the crops cut instead of
being gnawed off by tramping animals
The coat of fences is usally more than the
value of the animals pastured, aud some-
times more than the land inclosed. Cattle
that are kept rather close, and are handled
ofteu, are also tanner, and less brcachy than
are those which run at large, and often
compelled to shi7k for themselves for their
supply of food. The Maryland Farmer
is level headed in this matter as usual.

TALE OF WoE FROM IRELAND. london.
March lO.-The Government ina, placed gun
boats at the service of MIR. Tuck, In his work OF
relieving the distress among the Inhabitants of
the islands along the western Irish coast. In
describable distress has been developed among
the people inhabiting the Arran Isles, off Gal
way, who besijes having hardly anything but
moss and sea grass LEFT to eat, arc without fire
and often without clothing and shelter. 1t is
not rare to find girls of seventeen and eighteen
kept in enforced hiding places during the
day time because bereft Of every thread of
clothing, long ago bartered away for seed pota-
toes OF roots to feed the smaller children.
Fishing Inspector Brady recently went among
the miserable people of Arran to distribute re-
lief furnished by organization of Irish Police.
Ills funds ran short to-day, auI he had SO much
pitiable wretcheduess to relieve, that he ap-
pealed to Mr. Bussey, who is charged with the
distribution Of the funds raised in America
through the New York San for the i'm Dc yerished
fisherman Of Achill and Bolin Islands, and
begged him to divert part of his store for the
benefit of the Arran-se. This Mr.. Russey was
permitted to do, and he reports that in order to
save the lives of scores of people, now dying of
starvation in those Western islands, il is i'm
perative that relief ou large scale be at once
organized.

PRICE DIp Nor HANG MISS LDRIDGE-Wind-
sor, lll.-For the second time large crow d
gathered at Windsor for the purpose of
hearing the evidence ip the preliminary exami,
nation of william n. Price, charged with having
assaulted and hanged Miss Georgia Aldridge on
Feb. II. Judge Thornton said that, as the con-
dition of Miss Aldridge was such that she could
not be brought to the courtroom in safety, the
prosecution would dismiss the case Attorney
Hamlin said his client would prefer q searching
examination, but Justice Baldwin dismissed the
case. Prices friends crowded around him to ex-
tend congratulations.
Had Price been lyncbej by the mob which
gathered to do 50 when he was arrested another
fatal mistake would have been made as it is now
believed he had nothing to do with the crime.

The TnonswELL ORruAxAGE.-Clinton, March

hbE lHo'S"bLL LLORPHANAGE.-Chnton, March
1O.-In the Thornweu Orphanage we have
three trades taught TO our boys, namely those
Of printing, agriculture and carpentry. The
girls are taught cooking, laundry-work, sewing
and those who desire il are fttel out rs teach
ers. These various arts are not taught from
books, bu: experimcntalIy. The girls, for
instance, are placed in n we'll arranged kitchen,
with matron in charge, und they arc not only
taught how to prepare meals properly but they
do it, aud do it without servants to aid them.
Boys are so taught the art of printing that they
arc competent at fifteen years Of age to earn a
gool living for themselves at the case or press.
One can see at glance how advantageous su ch
knowledge would be to an orphan, cast out 10
care for himself. Aud if an orphan is thus
benefited, why not the great mass Of our South
ern youth?
We have in the Thornwell Orphanage fam
lily of fifty children. All they eat and wear
is prepared by themselves. All the vegetables
they use are raised in their own garden. The
institution is supported by charity. All the
printing by which that charity is brought to
tho attention of donors is done by themselv es,
and the outside work Of the office supports the
lads who are engaged in it, thus showing the
boys how it is possible to make living for
themselves.-Cor. News and Courier.

What every good citizen most desires is
good government administered as cheaply
as possible, and if the farmers can give us
this cheaper than We now have it, they will
become public bcnefac.ors IF they eau
reduce taxation withou. lesseni2g the COM
potency and efficiency of our officers, we
can not if they hold every office in the
State. The cheapest government,
if it is good government is the best,
and if Captain Tillman can lower taxation
he will benefit every profession and advoca-
tion in the State. Taxation bears equally
on all our citizens, and if it be reduced on
the property of the farmer it must be cut
OFT equally on the property ofthe professions
For this reason there can aud will be no
division of opinion on any feasible effort
to correct wrongs and improve tho govern
ment.-keocce Courier

VALUE OF TURPENTINE.-This is one
Of the most valuable articles in family, and
when it has once obtained foothold in a
house, it is really necessity, and could i'll
be dispensed with. Its medical qualities
are very numerous; for burns it is quick
application and gives immediate relief; for
blisters on the hand it is Of priceless value,
soaring down the skin and preventing sore
ness; for corns on the toes it is useful,
and good for rhcumltism and sore throats.
and is the quickest remedy for convulsions
or fits.
Then it is sure preventive agains, moths;
.Dy just dropping a triHc in the bottom
OF drawers, chests cupboards, it will render
the garments secure from injury during the
summer. 1t will keep ants and bugs from
closets aud store-rooms by putting few
drops in the corners, and upon the shelves;
1t is sure destruction to bed bugs, and will
effectualy drive them away from their
haunts, if thoroughly applied to the joints
Of the bed in the spring cleaning time, and
Injuries neither furniture nor clothing; its
pungeut oder is retained for a long time
and no family ought to be entirely out of
supply at any time Of the year

Tue TRUTH WELL SPoKEN.-No one
other than demagoguo would urge any
class to organize as such to control this
State. 1t would not be right for any one
one class to control the State, aud any class
which attemps it will only bring dis
aster on itself and discord to the State.
Now, we do not mean TO be misunderstood
on this question We say that man is
not entitled to any more influence in our
government who is engaged in agriculture
than another man who. is engaged in
mechanics. Every man is free and equal
before our laws, and it is an equality of men,
not of avocations. Now, in legislation we
believe that the various interests iu the
State should be cared for in proportion to
their needs, and we do not hesitate to say
that in this State our agricultural interests
are the most important, and should be more
particularly cared for than it has been in
some respects, but the agricultural interest
cannot be built up by tearing down another
interest in the State, and the men who
would attempt to antagonzc one class
against all other classes would lead that
class to certain disaster InteHi:

PASSING AwAY.-Thc lives of the lead
ing men who few years ago appeared so
prominently and couspicuously in the great
civil, political and fratricidal upheavel in
this country, are now nearly all gone
johnson and Sherman, two of the great
captains of the opposing armies ars now
the most prominent and distinguished
ofthoso who arc left. Lincoln, the mighty
civil leader, has long siucc passed away,
and Mr. Davis his opponent, lives for no
good. Lee, the greatest of all the military
chieftains, sleeps close by his grand and
noble lieutenant, Jackson. Breckenridge
and Bragg, too, live now only in name and
memory, while upon the other side Grant,
Mcclellan, Hancock aud others of equal
distinction rest from their labors.
When we run bae = "a memory to the ex-
citing days when our country was racked
from one end to the other, when war was
swapping its very vtals aud drinking up its
life blood, and remember how these giants
played their part in the great drama, it is
hard to realize that they are gone, and
literally shows to US the vanity of all earthly
glory.
But so it is. One by one the great lights
are Pickering out, aud soon. very soon those
who occupied more humble positions will
also have passed away and the historian
alone will be left to tell the tale.

II is estimated hat each year from
81, 900 to 30, 900 cubic miles of rain falls
upon the surface of the globe. What
becomes of itY The rivers seldom carry
of one-half, except in regions of close
grained rocks; the rest disappears by
evaporation, by the absorption of the
earth, and by being taken up by plants,
animals, and mineral oxidation. In
most parts of temperate ATTITUDES the re-
moval by rivers is from n third to two
lfths of what falls; in warm ATTITUDES
the amount is less, and may be under
one tenth. The Mississippi carries away
one fourth of the rainfall of its drainage
nree; the Missouri, thrce-twentieths; the
Ohio, one-fourth; the rivers of England
and Wales, ninc-sixtcenths .-Arkansaw
