Value OF Green Manures.

In the Experiment Station Record
the results OF experiments to determine
the fertilizing value of green manures
are considered, The fertilizing value
of green crops is found to be proper

their nitrogen is changed to nitric acid,
Dried blood and sulphate of ammonia,
two active heterogeneous fertilizers, and
a green growth of lupines We're used as
fertilizers and the growths resulting
from this fertilization compared. On
heavy soils the lupines proved much
the best fertilizer, the reason for which
seems to be that they kept the soil
lighter and looser, allowing 4 freer cir

THE most unpopular republican today with democrats-isT Thomas B. Reed of Maine, ex-speaker, alias the ''czar," etc. The Provi- dence Journal, which used to be dignifed paper, has for leading editorial the words, Good Bye, thomas b. reed" Reed is not over-popular either with many republican fellow members, for he tried to be impartial in enforcing new iron-clad rules in the na- donal house of representatives. The demo- crats of the house refused him the customary vote of thanks for his impartiality and court esy, as it was expected they would, yet, when the present prejudice has died away, there will not be SO intense feeling against MT. Reed. The majority, responsible for their own acts, ought to have fuller power power in legisla- ton than has been possible under recent rules of our legislative bodies It has been costing the government millions of dollars to give few obstructionists power to delay, apparent ly simply for their amusement, measures sure to eventually prevail. The late change of rules was made in the full knowledge that, following precedent, power in the next con- gress was more than likely to sway back to bA1o uomOCEaIIC Slu0, auu t0aJ rules aOODG0Q to do away with impediments to business would probably pinch the republican minori- ty in the next house. As it proves the demo cratic majority is too large to have need of rules, but, nevertheless, we hope that the public voice will demand their retention. Why should months be wasted in delaying legislation favored by the majority? It is enough that our law makers know that their judges, the people, are watching them, and, quick to condemn their mistakes, better check than any set of rules that will enable 6 minority leader to declare, as did Roger Q. Mills at the opening of the last session, that sthe minority will run this session."
 The Great Divide for March is the most attractive number of this original and striking journal that we have yet seen. A brilliant feature is the art supplement, an aqurelle portrait of Sitting Bull in seven colors, showing the great medicine man of the Sioux in full costume. The stories, poems, scientific and descriptive articles in this number are more than usually at- tractive, and are made interesting by copi- ous and artistic illustrations. A copy of this special art issue will be sent to anyone addressing The Great Divide at Denver, Colorado. and enclosing ten cents.

Atlanta Constitution According to story in Mr. Albert Lawson's 'sW ar Anec- dotes," the last Confederate did not sur render until 15 months after Appomattox The story is that on>4the morning of the Fourth of July, 1866, the secretary of war, who had planned a>fshing excursion at the fails of the Potomac, received telegram from the provost marshal at Richmond, saying that squad of Confederate soldiers were at his office ready to deliver up their arms and be amdestied. Knowing that joking of that sort would subject the per- petrator to court martial, the secretary has, tened to the white house to consult with President Johnson. The result was tel. egram to the provost marshal :: "Who are they, and where did they cone from ?" The answer was prompt and to the point {: "Sergt. Tewsbery and guard from Dismal Swamp Did not know the war was over. |" After good deal of laughter, the provost marshal was ordered to receive their capit- ulation, which was conducted in due form. Tewsbery, an old Virginian, ordered his squad, couple of Georgians, to give up their guns and sign the papers, reserving himself as the last man of all the Confeder- ate forces to surrender. The old sergeant's description of the way he found out the war was over was amusing. He and his companions had been posted on the edge of the swamp to watch movements of the Union troops from Norfolk, with orders to remain until relieved. He was never re- lieved, and had subsisted on fish and game for three years. At last he met an old negro, who told him the war had been over for about year, which 'stickled him bet ter than if he had been kicked by mule, '' as he facetiously expressed it.

Mobile Register: Mir. Sullivan has en- livened his trip south by occasionally drop ping into rowdyism. At Richmond, Va, he got into row with negro waiter at a hotel, and had coffee pot thrown at him. At Augusta, Ga., he got drunk and took the town, and after snorting and believing in rum shop to his hearts content, was helped into cab and driven to the depot, followed by an admiring crowd. At Macon, Ga., Sullivan was less uproarious than at Augusta, but he was by no means all straight again. We note from a dispatch received last night that on train between Rome, Ga and Athens, Ga, Sullivan distin. guished himself by thrashing trainman The trip of this eminent publicist through the south can not be said to be cororlest or devoid of interest.

 R. E. LAWRENCE. Mir. Lawrence is president of the West Side National Bank, of Wichita. We publish this letter precisely as it was writ ten, for the benefit of investors in Kansas securities MT. Bentley treats the ques- tion squarely. He does not ask for indnl- gence nor does he plead the want of means, with promise to pay as soon as he can. But he "has joined the Alliance and has stopped paying his debts" The alliance controls the state of Kansas, evil dently by the votes of the large class of debtors, who joined it with the idea that the new party could and would shield them in the repudiation of their just obli- gations.
