More Money Needed.

Since the stand has been taken by
both Senator Higgins and Gray and
the citizens of Wilmington in general
In favor of finishing the new post-of-
flee with Brandywlne granite 1t has
been found that tho present appropri-
alton will not be sufficient for the
completion of tho building On Sat-
urday the two Senators were In con.
sultation with upervlsing-architec
Edbrooks at Washington, and they
were informed that the bids submitted
for granite wall finish would ex.
haust the appropriation and leave no
money TO finish tho interior of the
building.
Tie architect also informed them
that under the law he eoula not award
contracts that would exhaust the ap-
preparation and leave the building nm
finished, but that in contracting for
parts of tho work he is required to re-
serve money enough to pay for the
unfinished work. 1t was then decided
to not award the contract for the walls
until Congress meets and ask for an
additional appropriation to enable the
building to he finished with Brandy.

minutes, and 1t passed through this
city ut speed of 80 miles an hour.
Every street and crossing from Land.

The train left NewYork at 80 o'clock,

Rev. John France.

The pastor OF Scott M. e. Church,
who Is an ex-presldina elder, is re-
markable preacher He can be heard
every evening from 7.30 to 0 O'Clock at
Seventh and Spruce. He does not ap-
pear to depend on intellectual enter.
tainment to draw his audience, and yet
he often has crowded houses. He does
not try To make himself great, or
preach great sermon. He has man
aged to got himself sufficiently snbor-
dinate to the Divine Master who is
present In Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ
and not John France, is the supreme
head of tho church.
Now, in this great revival at Scott NJ.
Il. Church there is quietness and no
particular excitement. The work looks
thorough and genuine.
Human, pulpit power stands abash-
ed and hunlbled before God and Di-
vine power comes to the rescue of
souls. People who go and hear some
OF those converts tell their experience
will not ask to sec miracles.
On Sunday evening the pastor
preached on Jer. XIII; 81; 8. iWhat

thee2" and the choir sang Jesus is

lime as a Fertilizer.

The uso of lime as a fertilizer was
discussed to some extont at the meet
ing OF the Farmers Institute at New
ark, on the 10Th of November. In the
course OF the debate, David j. Murphey
aptly said:
Why any one should say that the
use OF lime Is Unnecessary or not bene-
ilcial is something l cannot under
stand. Such a statement is simply
astonishing In the face Of what lime
has done for tile farmers OF this State.
Iremember when the lands all through
the county were comparatively un-
productive and know from observa-
ton and experience that lime was a
great factor in improving them.
When l went into Kent County, lime
was not known among the farmers
there as fertilizer They had been
tilling their farms on what was known
as the three field system and the peo-
pie were moving away to Ohio, which
was then called the back woods" /
commenced to lime and clover and
soon began to raise good crops, and
then my nelghbors took up the same
practice.
Land improved and tho emigration
westward stopped Land arose In price
from ten to fifteen dollars per acre to
teen. So have the strongest faith in
lime, and II our people do not go back
to its use they Will have to move away
somewhere but the back woods is
more distant now than in those early
days, so | don't know where they would
go.
DR.. johnson replied as follows: The
caustic lime does quickly what nature
does slowly, serving as u tlux or sol
vent Of these mineral clements But
| one thing must be borne in mind, and
| that is the after effect of this use of
lime. There is m old adage that time
enrlehes the fathers, but impoverishes
| the sons. As Mr. Murphey said, lime
| brings land up to a better condition.
Lime and clover Will supply the needed
nitrogen, but potash and magnesia
and the phosphates Will be removed
and will have to be supplied. or after
awhile the soil will become impOyer.
ished in these respects; it will become
| poor in these substances, and SO the
soil has boon worn down.
If manure and potash and phos-
pilates have been supplied. then the
land ought to increase in fertility, and
may be brought up TO the highest pos
sible condition of produetireness The
limit Of crops on such land will be

In England the lime question was
discussed very generally some forty
years ago, and its use has now been
| practically given up. 1t was over
done, and, as we say was worked for
more than 1t was worth. Too much
lime is disadvantages. The most
healthy soil is not acid nor too strong
ly alkaline but is slightly alkaline.

Railroad Extension.

The Kennett Advance. In noticing
the completion of the road from Le-
nape. says it would be an easy engi-
neering teat to continue the road from
Lenape to Unionville; from thence to
Kennett Square the earth is level as a
floor, and the cost of construction
would be very light. To complete the
grand loup 1t would be necessary
to continue the road to Yorklyn, where
1t would connect with the Landenberg
and Wilmington branch Of the B. & o.
Railroad.
This accomplished the road would
bring Joy to The stockholders as well
as to the people by whose places Of
business 1t would pass. Our citizens
should aid In the encouragement of

add to their prosperity,
