LONDON, Feb Pacific assurance comes
from St Petersburg regarding the conference of
governors of provinces and chiefs of military
districts A semi-oficial communication says
that, contrary to the fears of Austrian and Ger
man newspapers, the presence in st. Petersburg
of governors and chiefs is not due to military
considerations, but merely in accordance with
the custom of high officials to to the capital
to pay their respects to the Gear during
the court balls. This conflicts with a recent
statement of the Invalide Russe-to the effect
that, taking advantage of the annual presence
of governors and commanders, General Van
Noviski, Minister of War, had decided to form
a special commission, under the presidency of
the elder Grand Duke Nicholas, to examine the
supplies Of the troops in the field. Generals
Gourks, DR.. Entelem, Gatesky, Korsakoff, and
every chief of eminence. is announced as par

ment from James Dobson, the extensive manu-

wool-growers that the vast importations Of third
class carpet wool) diverted to other than
carpet purposes Mr. Dohson analyses the
consumption of carpet woods and finds that OF
the SO, e00, 900 pounds imported last year,
all except 5000 900 were used by the carpet
factories of the East; that of this probably s.,
100000 pounds went in other manufactures,
leaving only 5000, 600 to be accounted for, and
he thinks this amount might be consumed by
small carpet factories Mr. Dobson adds: This
is exclusive of stock entering into the three
quarter carpets. These figures show that it 10
impossible for either 80 per cent. even 10 per
cent. of the carpet woods imported into this
country to have entered into any other fabrics
than carpets. SO it cannot possibly affect the

THE LAND COMMIssIONERSHv

Revival of the RumOr that the Office VIII
BE Given 20 Hon. Thomas X. Cobb.
special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
Congressman Thomas r. Cobb, of the Vim
cennes (Ind.) district, is in town AGAIN, and the
rumor is revived that no is to be made Commits
sioner of Public Lands. Mr.. Cobb said how
ever to Enquirer representative to-day that
if the President had any intention of rendering
him the position he had not heard Of it. Other
Indiana people say the present Deputy and Act
ing Land Commissioner, Mr.. Stockslager, is
likely to be appointed, but this is not by any
means certain. If Congressman Jonas g. How
ard. of New Albany, who succeeded Mr. Stock
slayer in Congress. can prevent his promotion
to the land com missiope rship, Mr.. Stockslager
will not be appointed 1t is understood that
Mr.. Howard is leaving any thing undone
that he can do to prevent it Howard and
Stockslager have not been on friendly terms for
the last four years, the trouble growing out of
Stockslagers failure to receive a denomination
to Congress when Howard was nominated his
successor. The result will probably be that
Stockslager will be permitted 10 remain where
he is, and the commissionership will be given to
some other State. It is said that ey-C Commits
sioner Sparks has intmated to the President
that in his opinion Mr.. StocksIager is the
best man for the place. Those who have bust
with the Land bureau say however, that
he transacts il in very satisfactory manner.

Cultivation OF Mushrooms.


Careful cultivation of the mushroom is essen
tial to success. but its cultivation is no longer
mystery, formerly. In an open shed, or in
any place protected from heavy rains. ordinary
fresh horse manure, free from rubbish or long
straw, is to be laid up in beds of two or moro
feet thick. pressing it down with a fork as it is
laid up, when finished treading it down with
the feet. It should then be watered and again
trodden down. and left eight or ten days to fer
ment. AT the expiration Of this time. it must
be turned over with the fork. and again made
into a similar bed care being taken that the out
sides of the previous bed should form the center
of the new one. In another ten or twelve days
it will be ready for
Tubs are now provided, which may be done
by saving flour barrels in two and boring four
or five half inch holes IN the bottom of each. for
drainage Fill the tubs two three inches deep
with good garden loan. and add the prepared
manure until the tub is half-ful. Place six or
seven pieces of mushroom spawn, each the size
of a hens egg, upon the manure in each tub,
and fill the tub well up with manure. pressing
it well Down and rounding off the top dome
shaped
The spawn which can be bought at any first
class seed store, comes in the shape of and about
the size of bricks. At tho end of ten days. il
the spawn have taken, which may be known by
its developing white, thread-like ilaments, 1t
should be covered by inch two of fresh
soil, screened through coarse sieve.
Tho tubs, when made up, should be placed in
a dark cellar free from draughts Of cold air, in
which the temperature can be kept at about fifty
degrees. The main point to De attended to is
that tho manure is at temperature of about
seventy-six degrees Fair, when the spawn is
put in, and that it should not be covered with
soil until the sperm is we'll developed Should
the soil and manure in the tubs become dry,
they should be watered by sprinkliug them with
water at about blood heat.
In few days the mushrooms will begin to
appear. They should be gathered every other
day, by breaking off in the soil, slight twist
with the hand greatly facilitating the work. A
knife should never be used in gathering them,
and any hole made in pulling them up should at
once be filled with fresh earth They will con-
tinue yielding for three or four weeks. and a
second but smaller crop can be gathered by Civ
ing another dressing of fresh soil about half an
inch thick. beating it down moderately with the
spade and watering it with bood-warm water.
