VALUE OF DRAINAGE.
Why 1t Pays to Drain Dry Land Under Al
circumstances.


circumstances.
The past two years of drought and
the pretense of some unwise writers
that the drought was caused by the
tile drainage, has greatly demoralized
the business. It will take some time to
recover. But it will again resume its
place in good farm improvements. 1t
is benefit to the farm in any kind of
a season. too wet. too dry, or medium.
1t prepares the soil to stand better the
extremes of the seasons. Plants mostly
get their moisture from the ground,
and it is better brought up by capillary
attraction when the soil is rendered
loose and porous by underground tile
drainage. And underdrains are ten
times better than open bitches to take
the surplus water of. When the water
passes through the soil to the drain.
there is no loss of ferti!izing material
by washing, and the ground will be
found ready for tillage in few hours
after the heaviest rains. In case of
tile drainage the soil will catch up and
retain for plant food all that the fall Of
snow or rain always brings to the
earth. The tile drain three feet deep
and twenty feet apart, with II fall of
two inches to the one hundred feet, will
work wonders in nearly all classes of
land. This is not necessarily confined to
land too wet for cultivation. 1t pays to
drain dry land, so that the water will
pass through and enrich the soil in
stead of taking off by surface water the
fertilizing gases brought down by rain
from the atmosphere, as we'll as the
artificial fertilizers applied by the
provident farmer. Let no variety of
reasons stop the grand work of drain
age, and never listen to the foolish
man who charges drought to such work.

him popular with all classes and while
the terror the rioters inspired still lin
gered, especially in homes to which the
riot brought mourning, he was almost
unanimously reelected, the Republicans
having also nominated him because "hls
judgments were impartial and uninauenced
by partisan considerations" In 1865 lie
was elected Mayor, and in 1866 was nomi-
mated for Governor, but was defeated for
that Office by Reuben d. Fenton, the Re-
publican candidate. He was reelected
Mayor in 1867, but resigned that Office in
1865 to accept the Governorship TO which
he had been elected, and TO which he was
reelected in 1870. The people thus in
dorsed his course in every position he held.
But like all the Tammany politicians, he
felt the force of the tidal wave, which
Tweed and other bosses induced by their
crimes, and on the conclusion of his sec
ond term he retired TO private life. The
only charge, or rather the sum Of all the
charges brought against Gov Hoffman
was that he had been nominated and
supported by the Tweed Democracy. Fur.
Their than this the bitterest partisan never
vcnturcd. Thath had given his assistance
and services TO the Ring return for their
nominations and votes was insinuated, but
was never proven. He was a man Of pure
character, Of free, open and candid nature,
highly cultivated and as well known IN
London and Paris as in New York.

1.-THE FALL OF ROME"
The Subject of the Exhibition In Men,

NV ouuJoCt VI tne III htul-
phis Next Fall.
But few people knew Of the departure
last Saturday night Of two Of the leaders
and hard workers in the prospective fall
exhibition. These were Messrs. r. Gallo
way and Lou Leubrie, who went directly
to Cincinnati to examine the particulars Of
some spectacular exhibition to be given in
this city during the fall festivities. Mr..
Galloway was seen by an APPEAL man
yesterday, and the result Of his trip was
communicated with pleasure.

began, THAT street pageants are no longer
the proper card 10 attract and interest
strangers. II is too accting too quickly

and figuring, / think | have found Just
the thing 10 suit ms. Cincinnati has been
enjoying the finest spectacular exhibition
ever given in this country, The Fall OF
Rome A single artist was paid Sl7, 900
for the painting alone. This scene occu-
pies space 400 feet long, 200 deep and q
campus OF 200 feet for display OF chariot
races, etc About 800 people and fifty
horses are used in Cincinnati, but think
we can manage, with about 500. The
beauty about this exhibition is that Il is
historically correct and may well serve rs
an interesting study. The temples, and
forums, and baths and Senate chambers OF
the old city are reproduced with skill and
accuracy. II ran Tot seven weeks in Gin
cinnati, and 10000 tickets were sold on
the last night. | think we could easily
run IL for several wrecks here and make Il
rcmuneatiye. The east could he filed

willing TO 20 into II for the fun Of II.

would not be much. In Cincinnati Nero

cost us much mofe than one in Cincinnati.
There senator's and congressman donned

the benefit OF the crowd. As 10 n suitable

easily transformed into a proper Geld for

scheme Is 10 issue stock for the amount,

from the entire entertainment will more
than pay the original stock subscribed

Cowardly and Shameful Assault BY

Cowardly and Shameful Assault BY a
Member OF the st. Louis Browns.
The attention of Mr.. Chris Won der
Abe, president of the ST. Louis baseball
team, is respectfully invited to hisruffianly
short-stop, W. II. Robinson. During the
early part OF the game with the Memphis
club yesterday afternoon the fellow, find
ing he could not find the delivery Of Mich
oils, vented his spleen in brutal way on
Mr.. James Carr the umpire. 1t occurred
in the latter half OF the first inning The
Browns had scored one run, ONeill was
on second base, and Robinson, tho last
man to bat, struck out Yielding TO the
ruflianly instincts OF his mind. he whirled,
threw the bat toward the umpire, and APP
piled an epithet that entitled him to drub-
bling within an inch OF his life. There
were two aggravating circumstances, aside
from the low character of the epithet.
~ There were nearly 1000 people with
in hearing, including number OF ladies',
and ~ MIR. Carr is a cripple, having lost
his right arm. With commendable self
respect and respect for the audience, forti-
fled by heroic courage, Mr. Carr RETAINED
from violence on the field, but instantly
walked of, refusing TO oiiiciate further, but
invited the uncivilized hoodlum to accom-
pany him and settle ii like a man. OF
course he refused. Billy Smith, OF the
local team, was installed, and the game pro-
ceeded. 1t were probably we'll for Robin
son that he declined the invitation, for,
though one armed, Mr.. Carr would have
made 1t very warm for him, single handed
and alone.
To add to the gravity OF the offense, the
1000 people in attendance went out under
an assurance that good order was TO
characterize baseball in the south this
season. While this applied more par.
ticularly TO the regular championship
games, II was believed that in exhibition
games II would also prevail. Further, il
was not anticipated from such an excellent
team Of ball players as the Browns, and
the remaining members are cheerfully
given the benefit OF the doubt OF having
any sympathy or patience for the offender.
II was not only an insult TO the audience
and TO the local players, ms well 10 Mr..
Carr, but cast an odious slur upon his as.
sociates and employers and the baseball
profession in general. IL is possible for O
man to be a gentleman and a ball player
and Mr.. Won der Abe owes It to himself
and the city represented by his magnif
icent team TO weed out the foul-mouthed
blackguards. Robinson repented at leis
ure, and long after darkness had fallen
over the earth apologzcd 10 Nr. Carr
