Rotation in Crops.

The physical conditions of the soil,
however favorable they may have
been for the production of crops of a
similar character, will suffer if year
after year the same system of cultiva-
ton is carried out. Diversity in the
mechani cal treatment of the soil, and
change of. season for such treatment
can not otherwise but affect advan-
tageously it's mechanical condition
and the degree of it's chemical disin-
tegration, promoting thereby it's fit
ness for development inherent plant
food, as well as its power of turning
to account atmospheric resources of
plant growth. The roots of the same
plants abstract their food year after
year from the same layer of soil, while
a change of crops with refereuce to a
different root system renders it posi-
BILE to make all parts of the agricult-
ural soil contribute in desirable sue
cession toward an economical produc-
ton of the same crops to be raised.
Deep-rooting plants, like our promL
nent root crops, for this reason de-
serve a particular consideration in the
planning of a rational system of rota-
ton of crops. To raise improved va
rites of roots should be the rule

MAMMOTH TRANSACTIONS.

The Northern Pacific Places $4,000, 900 OF
Bonds in EurOPe-Other Changes I'm
pending.
NEW York. Aug. 23.-The Northern Pa
cific railroad has completed sale of about
5000, 900 of securities. The available bal
ance of the third mortgage bonds and
near 50, 900, 600 of branch line bonds make
the total sum. The sale is to a syn
dictate, headed by Henry Willard, and
the bonds will go to Europe where the
bulk of the third mortgage is al
ready held. The transaction is said to ex-
tinguish the floating debt of the company
and to leave something like y, 100000 in
the treasury to be expended in improve
ments. In addition to the sale of bondI
an independent company with a capital
Of 81, 000, 900 was formed for the explicit
purpose of supplying the railroad with
equipment. Over two-thirds of the
capital has been subscribed, and the
success OF the scheme has been as
sured SO far that large orders for engines
and cars have been placed. The equip
ment company is composed Of large stock
holders and directors of the Northern
Pacific, but is an entirely separate organ
ization, and the railroad is not bound for
any thing beyond the rental of the equip
ment furnished to it.

LONG AS THE TIDE sHALLFLow.

Upon the barren strand
Shall men walk to and fro
And stretch forth eager hand,
And murmur names on trembling lips,
And watch and wait for coming ships
Long as the tide shall flow.
Long as the tide shall flow,
o With painful solemn tread,
Dark-shrouded, bowling low,
Shall mourners bring their dead,
With chant and prayer and mournful hymn,
And hearts shall bleed and eyes grow dim

Long the lido shall flow
Shall heart to heart be knit;
And over scoff and blow
Love, strong, pure, infinite,
Shall triumph in that mighty faith
That falters not at life or death
Long as the tide shall flow.
Long as the tide shall flow
Shall cheeks be wet with tears;
The soul be sick with woe,
And through the dark, sad years
Shall count LIES wild throbs one by one,
While weary feet move blindly on
Long the tide shall flow.
Long the tide shall flow

THE RALEIGH BANK TROI
BILE.

The daily papers have been almost
crowded since our last Issue with
news about the failure Of tue RaleIgh
bank.
President Cross and Cashier White
have been seized upon in Toranto ,
Canada but the latest up to present
writing is,that we can not tell wheths
er they can be brought back or not.
Besides skipping with ali the
money they could get, it is found
that they have added the crime of
forgery. Every day brings some
new case of forgery, and it is not
yet known where the ugly tracks,
OF these Harpies will end.
It. would take a dozen columns to
give the whole matter as we have
learned it, so we can only give it
this brief notice.
The report that Cross had COM
mitted suicide was mistake.
There are various conjectures even
in Raleigh as to whether the de-
faulters will quietly surrender to come
back or whether they will fig ut it
