CONCERNING COMPOST.
How to Make Compost Heap to Secure
 Best Results.

There are two main things to be con- sldered at the outset in making the best compost heap One is how to hasten de- composition, and the other is how to prevent the escape of gases that arc created. The compost heap should be so located that it can be drained, and the drainage saved. for necessarily it must contain valuable fertilizing in- gredients The site of the heap se- lected and drainage provided, construct the heap. Barnyard manure and any deposit that contains plenty of vsgeta- ble matter are the principal ingredients When it can be had swamp muck is just the thing There is one bit of caution that ought to be given, and that is to be careful that nothing is used in which there are weed seeds.
 The proportions should be one part of barnyard manure and two parts of muck or whatever else is used. Now the fosn- dation, the basis, of the compost is made. To this is added every thing that is lying about the premises that can pos sibly add 10 the value of the heap, and one of the greatest advantages of the compost is the utilizing very much O, value as fertilizers which would other wise go to waste. Gather mp the night soil, chicken droppings, wood ashes, sawdust corn stalks leaves, straw, soap studs, fish or meat brine and old mortar and thoroughly mix them with the heap The farmer or gardener will be surprised to see what large quantity of fertilizer he will get by gathering up these odds and ends To every load of material about twenty-five pounds of plaster ought to be added
 Now the chemical changes begin Putrefaction, or fcrmentation-bot be- ing the same so far as the chemical op- eration is concerned commences. The carbon contained in the dead vegetable matter unites with oxygen from the air or in the water that may be in the ma terial, and carbonic acid gas is the re- suit. This gas acts on the silicate of potash in the mixture, separates the silicate from the potash and makes car. bonate of potash, and the silica being freed becomes hydrated silica, and both these elements are thus made at once available for plant growth. Observe, therefore, the benefit of composing in thus making these two clements avail able. Before the changes took place both were insoluble and utterly useless Suppose unrotted straw had been ap- piled to the land. It would require a year, and perhaps two years, before these elements could be made available. Rurni

A Coiorcd Congregational Preacher Wins
His Case Against the New Jersey Stenm'
boat Company.
New York, Feb. 14.-Rev. Albert z.
Miller, colorcd, pastor of Dixwell Ave-
nue Congregational Church, in New
Haven, while on vacation in the sum-
mer OF 1887, came to New York, and en-
gagged berths for himself, wife and two
children and mother-in-law on the
steamer Drew, one of the Albany night
boats. On examination he found
the berths inadequate and endcav-
ored to engage state-rooms. The purser
referred him to the captain, who did
not pay any attention to him. He again
applied to the purser, who told him all
tho rooms were engaged. Mr.. Miller
demanded his money, which was re-
turned to him. He claimed that there
were state-rooms vacant, but that tho
officers had Disseminated against him
on account of his color. On this basis
he sued the New Jersey Steamboat Com
pany for So, 900 damages. The case was
tried by Judge Bench in the Supreme
Court yesterday, and the defense was
that the state-rooms were all sold. The
jury gave plaintiff verdict of $500. Mr..
Miller is a graduate of Yale and the
Fisk University.

GOLD IN CHINA.

Negotiations Entered Into Looking to the
Working of Valuable Mines in That
Country.
CHICAGO, Feb. ia conference was
held at the Grand Pacific Hotel yester-
day between two Chinese noblemen and
two representatives of the old mining
machinery firm of Frazer & Chambers.
The result was that negotiations were
formally entered into looking to the
construction of 300-stamp mill in the
mountains ofChina. The magnitude of the
deal may be understood when it is stated
that the mill, with all its machinery
and appointments will cost not far from
81, 900, 900. This sum will include all
preliminary expenses, such as transpor.
tation of machinery, erection of build
ings and the importation of skilled Ia
borers and machinists needed. The
Chinese noblemen said: ''There has
been discovered in the very heart OF
China the richest and most extensive
gold-bearing land in the world.

Driven From Their Home.
WHEELING, w. Va, Feb 17.-The
Redmen and White Cap spirit seems to
be coming to the front again in certain
parts of this State. AT Rockport, Wood
County, Charles Smith and his wife
were both taken from their homes and
numerically beaten on the back with
hichory switches, and compelled to
leave the county and the State. The
family passed through ParlSersburgh
and told horrible story of their suf-
fering and treatment. The wife says
that after whipping her husband, the
mob caught her while she was trying to
escape from the house with her children
and tied her to tree. She was then beaten
until the blood came. Mrs. Smith says
the whole cause for the outrage was her
resistance to the improper solicitation
of citizen of her neighborhood. AT
Clay G. III. woman was also driven away
by mob, who visited her house, firing
guns and revolvers, and tied note Of
warning to her door.

trouble.
