A FATAL TRESTLE.
Wreck OF q Mail Train Near Batavia, o.
Many Passengers Injured.

Many Passengers Injured.
CINCINNATI. June 29.-At half past five
o'clock last evening the passenger train
from Portsmouth to Cincinnati on the Gin
cinpati, Georgetown e. Portsmouth rail-
way, with the directors car, two passen-
ger coaches and baggage car, went down
a trestle one and a half miles west OF Ba-
tavia.
The trestle was 100 feet long and from
| IL to % feet hi gh. The engineer felt 1t
sinking down when he went on it, and
turned on a full head of steam. Thus he
saved the engine and baggage car, but
not the three coaches with passengers. A
heavy rainstorm was falling at the time.
| No one was killed outright, but about
| fourteen were injured, as near as can be
learned, some, it is feared, mortaily.
Among the latter were General Manager
Samuel f. Hunt This is not General
Samuel II. Hunt, the attorney, but another
| of the same name.
General Passenger Agent T. d. Rhoades
was sitting at the supper table The table
was driven into his side, inflicting, it is
feared, a mortal wound; H. L. Sunder-
brush, wife and child, of Cincinnati, were
seriously hurt; William Kain, the con-
ductor, suffered a broken shoulder blade
and a broken leg. The others injured
were: William Griffith, colcred porter,
badly bruised; Cond uctor Newton,
hurt in the hip; Char es Hemrod, hurt in
the back; Lou Hilman, painfully hurt in
the hand aud arms; W. H. Frazer, OF
Springfield, ILL.,, right leg broken, head
bruised, serious; II. Ballman, right leg
broken; f. B. Showhan, CovingtoD, KY,
painfully injured in the right leg and hip;
Mrs. Williams, of Williamsburg, o., seri'
ously hurt.
Mrs. Hayward, of Port mouth, O., had
bate in her arms. She was thrown
through window and the babe was left
in the car. She recovered soon and
| screamed for her babe. 1t was found in
side the car cooling and entirely unharmed.
All in the above list whose homes are
not designated are citizens of Cincinnati.

A COMBINATION STORM.

A Destructive storm sweeps Through
Portions of Minnesota.
RUsHFoRD. Mimi, June 80 A combined
cyclone, waterspout and hail storm passed
from one to five miles east of here Thurs
day night destroying every thing in its
path. 1t probably gathered over the town
of Wiscoy, Winona County, entered
Money creek. Houston County, section .
and 8, passed almost due north, curying
slightly to the west through Yucatan and
the eastern part of Norway in Fillmore
County, and then on through Preble till
it spent its force.
A belt two miles wide in the pathway of
this storm for thirty miles in length is
absolutely laid waste, the trees being as
bare of leaves as in winter, and the loss
by the storm can not fall much below
800. 900. Immense trees, two feet or more
in dia meter, were torn up and twisted off
For two miles in width the mercil IS hail
pelted every thing into the ground. II
crossed the railroad track where the Sec
tion men were at work, and they say that
the stones fell fully as large as mans
fist.
Andrew FiZico. of Yucatan, was drowned
in the food and another drowning is re-
Iorted from Houston.

THE RACE QUESTION.
It Will BE Worked for All There Is in 1t
by Harrisom's Bosses.

by HarrisoHS Bosses
We find the following concerning
Mr.. Harrisen's Southern policy in
the New York World:
Knowing that the old policy of negro domina-
tion can never again be established there,
President Harrison. with the d-blooded cal
culation which characterizes the practical
politician" whose conscience is cared for by
his religion, proposes to leave the colored peo-
pie to do as they did during the administra-
tions OF Hayes and Arthur, and as they have on
the whole done very credltably ever since
namely, to shift for themselves.
We do not understand that it is
properly matter of conscience and
duty for any President of the United
States to interfere between the races
at the South. The citizens of the
States under all constituted theories
are supposed to "shift for them
selves"
But it will be found when Congress
meets, we think, that the present Ad-
ministration means to force a race
issue, if it can. The old policy of agi-
tation to create sectional prejudice
will be pursued. The President will
aot join in it personally, because he is
not in position to do so. but he will
promote it as far as he can, leaving
the active work to be done by his sup
porters in Congress.
He indicated this clearly enough be-
tween the lines of his inaugural ad-
iress, and it is the course that he
would naturally If not inevitably pur-
sue. A President of great force of
character might realign parties. but

MY ROSEBUD.

Mrs. N. A. Monfort in Excelsior Springs
(MO.) Banner.l
Dimpled and white it lay on my breast,
In innocent beauty repOsing
And it sOothed my spirit, when weary, to
rest,
TO behold its sweet charms disclosing.
Each day but revealed new charms to my
sight,
With love and care lavishly blessed it t;
But the chill hand of death reached down
in the night,
With his cold, icy fingers he pressed it.
Not sound was heard in the shadowy
wood
Scarce breeze DER the hill top signing :
Where the moonlight fell like silvery
flood,
But my Rosebud, oh, it was dying.
In crimson and fair morning appears
And opening blossoms their sweet Odors
shed;
But cold on my breast meath the dew of
my tears,
Lay my Rosebud, blighted and dead
The angels bore it to a'higher birth
Where flowers are perfuming
And gently they whispered, it faded or
earth,
| But in heaven It's eternally blooming.

Ingenuity on the Farm.

The Germantown Telegraph says that to
be O skilfuI workman should be the ambi-
ton of the farmer as we'll as the mechanic.
Men of the highest attachments in every
calling, are always In the ascendency. But
how is it with the farmer in general2 An
idea here seems to prevail, and with some
degree of accuracy. too, that with the far
mer it is a matter of "luck," that the sue
cessful ones are those that are SO fortunate
as to inherit or marry into good farm, or
are born with the proverbial ''silver spoo II
in the mouthn in some other way. The
reason why l say that the matter of luck
seems to influence farmers more than other
men, is that they evidently have less ap-
probation for the force and utility of brains
for skillful attainments. But to look at the
matter in its true light, we can see that the
advantages of science. skill, and high
degree of ingenuity is equally as potent,
necessary and valuable with farmers as
with any class of men.
1t is peculiar to some men to especially
excel in one branch, while with others
their talents are of the opposite order,
inclining toward a versatility of
attachments. Among the latter class
we should look for the best
farmers. 1t is not sufficient that
man should know how to manage frac.
tious horse. drive four-horse team, pillow
straight furrow, or even raise good crop
of grain under favorable circumstances
but it is equally as much in his line, and
to his credit, to be an adept at soma veteri-
nary work, do little doctoring upon occa-
sion, to pickle barrel of good meat, to make
batch of sourkrout, trim fruit tree, set
hen or some cabbage-plants, thin bed OF
radishes, and do score more of useful
things.
And yet think am safe in saving not
one farmer in fifty will go into a garden
and properly set plant or use hoe or
rake. And it won't take long to tell where
their mistakes are. In setting plants the
custom is to press the dirt on top instead of
on the roots and leaving the sail loose on
top. And ia hoeing the invariable practice
is to hack the ground and hill up every
thing instead of using a shufiiing motion to
loosen the soil and hill up only what needs
it. 1 have had my hands actually get
quarresome and refuse to obey orders when
| would tell them "not to hill up those
plants" To be a Observation-Disclosures" is
sometimes not creditable; but with farmer
he needs to be a Observation-Disclosures, and the
better the jack the more credit.

is done by pressing the butts Of the plants
fitted over the ends of the laths, IN
til lath is full about six plants, when
the spear-head is put on another lath and
the process Of spearing is continued. Other
methods are ''pegging,n which is .simply
driving a short peg into the butt of each
plant, by which it may be hung on the lath
and also tying the butts of two plants to-
gether and hanging them on poles wide
enough to keep them apart. Obviously
any method that may be adopted for sus-
pending the plants without interfering with
each other is sufficient.
In hanging tobacco in the house, begin on
the upper sticks aud continue the work
downward, taking care that the sticks are
far enough apart so that the plants do not
interfere, and the sticks should be so ar
ranged that one lower stick is in the middle
space between two upper ones. The best
arrangements for drying will not produce
we'll cured article unless the tobacco was
fully mature before it was harvested. If
harvested too green it will have green
taste, from which neither drying no
sweating will free it.
The after handling of bacco must be
done only when it is in case" that is, during
such times as, owing to moist atmosphere,
the leaves will not break. At such times
after the curing is finished, the leaves are
stripped from the stalk and assorted into
different qualities and tied up in bands,
when, unless sold to dealer, it should b.
packed down in piles to be kept in case
While thus in bulk care must be taken that
the pile does not heat or mold, by over
hauling and rebulking on the first intima-
ton of danger.

Home Mixed Fer tiliz ers.

AT the Connecticut Agricultural Expert
ment Station an analysis has been made of
all the samples of home-mixed fertilizers
sent to the station this year. A bulletin
recently received gives these analyses, with
such facts as could be gained regarding
their cost. etc. The average cost of mate
rails for the fertilizers referred to in this
bulletin is $33 70 per ton delivered at the
purchasers freight station. Two dollars
will fully cover the cost of
screening and mixing, this fig
ure being more than the
estimats of those who have done the work.
At the highest estimate, therefore. the
average cost of these home-mixed fertil-
GERS has been $35 70 per ton. The average
valuation decided by the stations analysis
has been $3S SO per ton. In no case was
the valuation less than the cost of the
chemicals mixed.
The advantages claimed for home mixing,
in this bulletin, are; Each ingredient
can be separately examined by the pur-
chaser, and, if necessary, sent to the expert
ment station for analysis. The detection of
inferior forms of nitrogen or phosphoric
acid is easier and more certain in single
article than in mixture. 2-An intelli-
gent farmer by home-mixing is better able
than any one else can be to adapt the COM
position of his fertilizers to the special re-
quirements of his land as well as of his crop.
Sit is claimed that the same quantity and
quality of plant food costs much less in
homo mixtures than in ready-made mix
lures, because the cash purchaser of fertil-
izer chemicals deals directly with the i'm
porter or manufacturer.
1t will be seen from the foregoing that at
the Connecticut station the expediency of
home-mixing, in many cases, is believed in.
There is no question that mixtures of raw
materials can be and are annually made on
the farm which are uniform in quality, fine
and dry, and equal to the ready-made ferti-
lizers. The economy of home-mixing de-
ponds, of course, on the prices which the
sellers of mixed goods are willing to take
and on the cost of fertilizing chemicals de-
livered as near the farm as the mixed
goods can be bought. Each individual
farmer, concludes the bulletin. ought to be
the best and only judge of the economy of
home-mixing in his particular case, as we'll
as of the formulas which are best adapted
to his soil and crops.
The report quoted from is certainly cor
rect in the statement that intelligent farm
ers who understand the requirements of
their own soils and crops can, in many in
stances, save money by mixing at home the
crude materials. But, on the other hand,
there are q large number of farmers who
do not know what their land requires, and
