Leaves tho Track on Trestle.
Specialt the Gazette.
BONHANI, TEX, Jan. 1.-THE Cannon
ban train from the east on the Texas and
Pacific Railroad, which was due here last
night st 10 O'Clock, was thrown from the
track in Bots dare bottom, two miles
east OF town, and did not arrive until
O'Clock this morning. The train, which
consisted of baggage car, two coaches
and q sleeper, was running at the rate Of
about fifteen miles an hour over the tres
tie that spans the bottom when the rails
spread and caused the engine, baggage
car and one coach to leave the track.
Fortunately the cars did not fall off the
irestle, which was twenty feet high,
thereby sverting horrible catastrophe.
Outside Of the fright no one was
seriously injured. A peculiar circum-
stance in connection with the accident is
that the regular engineer for No. Il, Dave
Lssler, was to pull the cannon ball lsst
night. On being called at Texarkana to
take charge of his engine, he fatty re-
fused to go out, giving as his reason that
he dreamed the cannon ball would be
wrecked last night between Texarkana
and Bolhem. Another engineer was pro-
cured with the result as stated.

from Naples for New York.
NKw YORK, Jan. 17.-There were still
no tidings yesterday of the missing
steamer Britannia, bound for this port
from Naples with $50 Italian steerage
passengers, and now long overdue. Mr.
Ter Knile, general passenger agent in
New York, said yesterday that his great
fear was that the steamer had been
struck by some Of the logs from TIE great
Leary raft and was either lying at the
bottom OF the Atlantic or had been total
IL destroyed and was drifting at the
mercy of the winds and waves. The re-
port of the steamship Venice shows that
logs have been seen in mid-ocean. They
are scattered far ard wide in fact, and in
storms could prove worse than
batteriIg rams il hurled at the
vessel by the ocean pillows.
Mr.. Ter Kuile said the Brittania after leav-
ing Gibraltar on December % must have
steered directly for Azores, and from
there her course would be almost direct
for New York. He added that Captain
Parszoles was an experienced seaman and
a very careful navigator.

There is an interesting article in The Spec
tator on Mr. Leslie Stephens astonishing
generalization as to the misery that awaits
women who marry men of genius. The
truth is that the woman who marries n genius
plays game of double or quits "Geniuses
mako either singularly good husbands or
husbands of the most disastrous kind" 1t
also depends quite as much upon the wife
whether the sensitive egotism and self will
often found combined with genius" wreck
the home or merely form the shadow to a
background of domestic bliss. Statesmen,
The Spectator thinks are larger minded than
literary men, more self controlled, and, over
and above all, they are not so much at home
Our contemporary mentions few instances
Of the marriages Of genius which tell on
either side: Unhappy-Coleridge Byron,
Shelley, Dickens, Carlyle. Happy-Scott,
LongfelIow, Southey, Miss Bronto, Jenny
Lind. Tho list might be indefinitely ex-
tended. 1t was not the genius but the opium
in Coleridge's case that played the mischief,
and with Carlyles digestion the dullest clod-
hopper would have been rs uncomfortable to
his wife as the philosopher of Chelsea. Pail

The Currant Worm.

The best known remedy for the currant
worm, which infests both currant and
gooseberry bushes, is white hellebore.
Now white hellebore is an altogether diff
ferent drug from black hellebore, so re-
member and use the former. The cheap
est and easiest mode of application is to
mix the hellebore in water Place a heap
ing tablespoonful of the powder in dish;
add gradually quart of boiling water,
stirring all the while to make certain that
the hellebore is thoroughly saturated
Turn this mixture into pailful of cold
water, stir well and apply with garden
syringe or ordinary watering pot. The
object is to wet every leaf; make two ap.
plications, few days apart. While white
hellebore is poisonous there is little or no
danger from its use, as above directed
The chances are that before the fruit is
ripe enough to eat the rains will have
washed off all traces of the hellebore, and
should any remain on the clusters the
fruit will present a soiled appearance and
be rejected in consequence.

Numbered with the many excellent
papers read at the New York institutes
meetings this winter was one by Mr.
Permanent Pastures" In this paper Mr..
Gold called attention to the important
fact that the way In which pastures are
fed, whether closely or otherwise, has
much to do with their permanence in
value 1t is possible to feed pasture so
closely as to dwarf the grass roots and
kill the large growing species. Too light
stocking favors the growth of coarse and
useless vegetation, choking out sweeter
and richer grasses. Dairy cows, unless
fed some grain, impoverish pasture more
than young stock or fattening animals.
The fields are apt to be too flush in June
and too bare in August. Rather than
these extremes, feed some grain or sowed
corn in the scant season and do not allow
pastures to run into seed in June. Past
ure is often benefited by change of the
live stock kept upon it. Sheep will eat
and destroy the white daisy and wild car
rot. The tread of sheep has a marvellous

ably changed around with cattle consum-
ing much rank growth that is refused by
neat stock. Young cattle may be advan.
tageously pastured in connection with
dairy cows, which have'a habit of spend
ing their time about the entrance to the
pasture. 1t is well to have trees in the
more elevated parts, thus encouraging the
animals to leave their droppings where
they are most needed.
For real permanent pasture we must
cherish and retain the very best grasses
that are fitted to the soil, the climate and
the treatment our pastures receive. Some
times blowing and reseeding is the only
resort. But consider other remedies first.
Cut the bushes. trees and destroy such
weeds as can be banished without plow-
ing. Drain and irrigate. Dress with bone
on ashes, and do not expect very sudden
improvement.

The injury often done to the germ of
the seed corn comes from contact with
manure applied at planting time. De-
composed stable manure or we'll rotted
compost will not generally do harm. Cot
ton seed meal seems to be very hurtful to
small seeds. as we have learned at some
cost in our gardening operations. In ap-
plying all concentrated manures, it is
generally best to drop little on each side
of the seed corn as planted. not nearer
than two or three inches. We prefer al
ways to apply, at least, some portion of
the fertilizer at the time of depositing the
seed corn, and very close at hand, so that
the young plant may be supplied at once
with nutritious and soluble food, and
pushed into vigorous growth from the

The grasses, for convenience, may be
ranged in two general divisions. The
first division comprises all the true grasses
or plants with long, simple, narrow leaves
and a long sheath divided to the base
which seems to clasp the stem; or, rather,
through which the stem appears to pass
The artificial grasses are mostly legu-
minous plants with few stems which
are cultivated and used like the grasses,
although they do not properly belong to
that family The clovers Of all the va
rieties, the alfalfa, etc. belong to this
latter class.
In general, grasses ought to be cut not
long after the time of Towering, for al
though there is great deal of nourishment
in the ripe seed, it is hardly enough to
make up for the loss in the stalks and
leaves. which are most valuable before the
soluble materials, such as starch, gum and
sugar, are gradually changed into woody
fiber
