The common practice IN thsT inss16~
and indeed a very general else hsf5'
has been to cut corn and shock II In III
early maturity. BY this process tbs
grain dries out and hardens and tht
stalks retain most of their leaves, &C
that after the corn han been husked q
crop Of grain and u crop Of fodder il
realized from the same planting. From
experiences made by Prof. Shelton, al
the kansas Agricultural Station, it wal
found that in nearly every case where
adjacent rows OF corn were cut at inter
yield of the best quality Of cor was
plainly taught in the seventy odd cases
tried that corn continues to improve in
weight until the very la%st-nfter the
blades of the plant have been dried ny
and quite likely blown away, and seem
ingly until the juices of the stalks have
been completely sucked up.
The figures shown in the careful cut
tings and weighings Of corn at different
stages OF ripencss, says the Professor,
seems to point to q real principle in the
growth of the crop which the farmer
cannot afford to ignore. 1t 10 perfectly
clear that we must raise cor for corn,
with no thought Of fodder; and again,
corn which has no higher purpose than
fodder. We must, in short, have two
corn-fields on every farm, receiving radi-
cally different treatment to correspond
with the different purposes for which
they are cultivated.
In considering the above, says the
World, it must be remembered that
corr fodder in Kansas has a smaller pro-
portion of leaves and blades than il
found or the varieties grown in the New
England and Middle States where pick
ing the ears from the standing stalks
and leaving the latter unharvested,
would be thought a wasteful process.

THE value of fertilizers is discussed
more than ever before. There is not
much difference, says DR.. q. G. Cald-
we'll in the Tribune, between wood aud
bay ashes in value; the former are some
what richer in phosphate. Salt can
safely be applied at the rate of two or
three barrels per acre; some apply only
200 or 300 pounds withproft. Soft-coal
ashes contain q little plant food, in
shape OF phosphate or potash; hard-coal
ashes contain none; on sandy land it is
difficult to see what good even the
former will be, unless supplied very
literally, and on some such crop as
clover or lupine, which appears to be
able to draw heavily on the air for some
of its nitrogen food.

In Notifying the people, the attendance of
peasants from the outlying districts was
smaller than expected. A procession was
formed, with visiting Mayors in full re-

Revolution.

NEW YORK, April 12th.-Robert f..
Adams, United States Minister to Brazil,
now On leave of absence added chapter
to the history of the Brazilian revolution
in an interview to-day. He said The
uprising occurred on Friday, November
10th, four months after my arrival 1t was
not rebellion at first, but only revolt
among the troops against an order that had
been issued by the Emperor sending them
into the interior of the country.
Dom Pedro was at Petropolis at the
time, thirty miles distant from Rio Janeiro
the capital. He was telegraphed for. and
went down to Rio, where the leaders. under
the direction of Fonseca, now chief of the
Republic seized him. In the mean time
the friends of the Republic had been cir
culating among the troops, and soon the
idea OF establishing a Republic became
noised about
The leaders said that they had gone so
far that they could not retire, and finding
that the army was with them they decided
on the day following the uprising, which
was Saturday, that they would give the
Emperor twenty-four hours to leave the
country, and accordingly the Emperor
sailed away al 3 o'clock on Sunday after
noon.

Ee Gives Interesting "reminiscences of
Commodore Vanderbilt.
NEW YORK, April l2gh.-Space is given
by the ]idit Gad Express to the reminis-
cences Of Commodore Vanderbilt by Colo
mel j. d. Stevenson. He writes that his
(Stevensor's) family resided Oh Whitehall
street. near the Battery, IN this city, and
young Cornelius Vanderbilt was a constant
visitor, aud recalls incidents illustrating
Vanderbllt's courage, determination and
promptness of action.
He also Tells of tbs heroic rescue of q
ferry-boat load Of passengers on the Hud-
son river in mid winter, in which Steven.
sons father and Vanderbilt were the only
actors. The description of the return of
this small but heroic party of rescue is
characteristic. The ferry-boat, too, was
saved. Just as the SUI was going down,
some of the Governors Island garrison
manned an eight cared boat and brought
the light skitf and my father and his gal
liant young companion safe to New York.
My good mother had smoking hot din
ner ready for them, which they greatly en-
joyed. The courage of the youthful Cor
nelius Vanderbilt in volunteering to 60 to
the rescue of the imperilled passengers
when strong men held back in fear, made
an impression upon my mind that has not
been dimmed by the lapse of years."
The Mail and ErpreSS calls attention ed
itorially TO the communication as evidence
of the fl le preservation of the faculties of
Stevenson at the age of 80 years.

CROSSING THE BORDER.
Chinese Making Their Way Into Dakota
from Manitoba.

WINNIPEG (ManitoDa), April 12th.-
Many Cinnamon are making their way
into the United States from Manitoba.
Owing to the dull times in British Column
bia the Celestials are obliged to leave Vic
toria in order to make living. They
come East on the Canadian Pacific, drop
ping off at various points and finding their
way across the boundary line.
OF late the United States authorities
have kept such a close watch that 1t is i'm
possible for the Chinese to enter the States
through the larger cities or by rail The
plan they now adopt is to go from Winni-
peg to some town in southern Manitoba,
such as Morden. Gretna or Manitou Fhich
are near the border. Here they reufrin a
few days and in the dead of night steal
across the boundary and make their way
as far into the adjoining State as possible
before allowing themselves to be seen.
There is no doubt that the large number
of Chinese that have recently gone to
Fargo and Dakota towns have crossed in
the manner described. A Winnipeg de-
tective, who keeps sharp eye on this
business, said that he knew of at least
twenty cases of Chinese crossing the
boundary within the past six months.

COLLECTOR PHELPS.
He Says Chinese Are Surreptitiously
EyadIng the Restriction Act.

SAN Francisco, April l2th.-The in
creasiDg number of Cinnamon who are
arriving by every steamer from Hongkong,
who are ostensibly booked as being en-
route for GuaymSs Mexican port in the
Gulf OF California, only short distance
from the dividing line between the two
countries, mas been received suspic;ously
by the United States authorities, who have
couieciured that the true destination of
these importaiions was not 10 work in the
silver and gold mines or in developing the
fishing or pearl interests of Mexico and
Lower California, but was really an indi-
rect method OF gaining entrance into the
United States and thus surreptitiously
eyading the Restriction Act
The suspicious OF Collector Phelps have
been verified by the recent arrest of twenty
one Celestials who were endeavoripg TO
laud in fishing boats in the harbor of San
Diego. The Collector is positive also that
unknown members of these cross the bor-
del, r,where the difficulties of guarding so ex-
tended a line are 50 great.
Eighty. seven Cinnamon arrived by the
Oceanic on Thursday, and the intention
was to transfer them to the City of Sydney.
which sailed at noon to-day. When the
nermission 10 transfer was requested the
Collector positively and peremptorily re-
fused to grant it. The reason ne gave for
fbe action was that the City of Sydney had
never before been known to stop at Quay
mas. and. though the officers OF the Pacific
Mali nrged that they intended to make an
exception in this instance, the Collector

Some Plain Talk Upon the Confession of
Faith,

CoLUsA, April 12th.-This was the second
days session of the Sacramento Presbytery.
The special order Of the day was the revis-
ion OF the confession of faith. A warm de-
bate followed the question, being evenly
divided. Rev. Graham of Chico said he
was raised under the strongest Calyinistic
teaching. His whole atmosphere was CAL
whistle. Yet while quite lad he said,
questionings would arise in his mind with
reference TO the strong statements found in
the confession. While he loved Calvinism
just as tits taught il our confession, he had
always difficulty iii defending it, and while
he took ground with the anti-revisionists.
he was hampered in his thoughts.
Rev. HI. l.. Garden made most extend
ed and comprehensive speech. He took
his stand firmly and unequiyocally on the
side of the Tevisionists. He SAID there was
something in the confession that no man
dared to preach in this day. This is an
age OF progress, and we are not accepting
things just because our fathers did. He
referred to the old theory of the astrono-
mers as an illustration. We had to go
back on the teachings of our fathers be-
cause they were wrong in regard to the
planetary systems. We do not impeach
the integrity of Calvinism. All he wanted
was the removal of the excrescences. Ee
said the thirty-nine articles OF the Epsco-
pal Church were Catvinistc to the core
but they did not contain the Objectionable
features OF our confession. He then took
UP the doctrine of reprobation, which con-
iesslon he said was for the glory of God.
He referred to the expression of Gods
passing by the non-elect. We want a
different mode of expressing it. We want
confession that we are not ashamed of
aud That we can put boldly before our peo-
pie. he referred to the fact that we are
told that the members of the church are
not required to subscribe to the confession
but ministers are. We want something
that all can subscribe to. The damnation
OF infants was a horrible declaration.
twist that doctrine as you will and it will
come back on you. No minister dare teach
or preach even the doctrine of elect of in
fants. He also treated of the heather and
showed the fallacy of the creed on this
point. Then the doctrine of good works
that, according to the creed, the works of the
sinner were sinful, and if he did not do
them 1t was greater sin. He then de-
tended the Catholic Church from the
charge in the confession of being Anti
Christ.
DR.. Nevins, of Dixon, made the strongest
argument against revision, and Rev. Geo.
L. Tindall, of Sacramento, made an argu-
ment in favor of revision and then put
the vote, and it stood 5 for and 8 against
revision, number of the delegates having
taken the train for home and not voting.
The Presbytery will adjourn tonight.

simultaneously with this spirit of enter
prise the convention of Irish landlords
sitting at Dublin is exhibiting a spirit of
unrest and opposition to the land policy of

land purchase bill. Not only does their
denunciation of the measure declare the
