Leap Ye.r Gossip and other Things

Considerable comment IS being elicited in socIety circles by the opera,ions of the Forrest City fair ones in the matrimonial mar ket and their doipgs through their leap year freedom form . delight iul subject for no end of talk and the formation of many plans and schemesIn both parlor..and boudolr. What the eligible one. among the bachelors think of the prospect of affairs your correspondent IS, oi course, not advised; but from the pale faces and suxious looks that numbers of them display it is highly probable that ways and means" looking to a relief from the painful annoyance of too ar dent wooers is seriously and anxiously discussed in tho guard. ed and mysterious precincts of the bachelors club rooms. This state of affairs is doubtless greatly due to the fact that those girlsC) who are DOW in the city look for ward with great anxiety 10 tho coming Of spring and summer, justly much desirous of finding themselves firmly tied ere the young misse. from school return home for the vacation, with white lawn, blue ribbons and fair blush ing faces, to yank the (baldheaded) boys @ off the beaten track and carry them wbirling Tn their own sweet procession. If the boys can hold ont til the blessed relief comes with the sunny June they are solld-but woe to the girls who are left.
 Some good vocal music is prom ised the putlic at the Presbyterian and Baptist churches in the fu- ture. The Presbyterian choir has been doilng some good work for some time past, and has been a source of much qualification to the attendants at that church, but one of the ladies of the choir told me that new interest is stirring among the singers, and that still better music may be expected. The congregation at tho Baptist church will, I understand, be az ,in trusted to the excellent mu- sic which It's cholr has the reputa. ton of dispensing. Nothing in a music way has been done by them for several months, owing 10 va rious causes.
 It is sad that Rev. MT. Osborn the talented young minister of the Baptist church, is much apprecia, ted and admired by his flock, and by the public in general. It is 6 notable fact in this connection taai the attendance of young ladies al this church has largely increased since his coming-and, wonderful to relate, their attention to the sermon is surprisingly close. Al l left the church with one of them . few Sundays ago she actually de. clared that she remembered the text.

AGRICULTURAL LETTER.
From the Arkansas Industrial Uni
 versIty.
ICONCLUDED.l

may also say these four substances are not of the same degree of utility to all descriptions of plants, but that each has preponderate or subordinate action by turns; that for cereals nitro genous matter was the preponderant constituent; phosphoric acid fulfills a similar function with respect to corn, whereas potash preponderates in the case of potatoes and leguminous plants. If the reader thoroughly un- derstands these fundamental proposi- tons he will readily see by what natural deductions we shall be able to found upon them practical method of analysis that will be accessible to all. Suppose, for instance, that we experiment upon the soil with five different manures-first of all ma nurc composed of the four substances of which we have been speaking, and to which may be given the name nor nal manure, and next with four ma nures composed of three ingredients only, excluding in rotation nitrogen ous matter, phosphoric acid, potash and lime, and with these produce a parallel series of crops:
 With the normal manure.
 IT.
 Manure without phosphates.
 Manure without potash.
 Manure without lime.
 The soil without any manure.
 Such an experiment on the farm of a friend produced the following results, wheat being the crop:
 The normal manure produced forty three bushels per acre.
 Manure without nitrogenous matter. fourteen bushels.
 Manure without phosphates, twenty six and half bushels.
 Manure without potash, thirty-one bushels.
 Manure without lime, forty-one bushels.
 Soil without any manure, twelve bushels only per acre.
 The conclusion is evident and con- elusive. The soil requires. above all. nitrogenous matter. It is provided with lime, but insufficiently supplied with potash and phosphate No analysis will give us results as reliable as these. According as the crops ob- tainsd with the incomplete manures differ from or resemble those resulting from the use of normal manures the conciuslon we arrive at IS that the soil lacks the ingredient excluded from these manures, or vice versa.
 In order to gain knowledge of the subsoil we may substitute some tap rooted plant. This method of instruc- tioD is adopted in the French primary schools, for in that country it is abso- lutely necessary for man to farm reasoningly and carefully in order to make both ends meet. Trust to chance as little as possible is their motto. and the result is that the weal,h of that country is mainly in the hands of the farmers. A method for prepar- ing manures will be given next week.
