Lack of Cultivation.

With any of the class of cultivated
proper cultivation, the effect is felt
in the crop harvested. This fact is
demonstrated by q little observation,
and a few moments consideration of
the case leads to no other conclusion.
Wherever vegetable growth is going
on, there is being taken from the soil
elements Of fertility, and if these are
diverted to a noxous growth, then
they are lost to the main purpose of
the farm.
To say nothing Of the unpleasant
appearance produced, the effect upon
any crop is very damaging in the
diminished crop production. Take
the case of corn and potatoes and
with the eye as q judge, we believe
that a neglect in culture that allows
a rank growth OF weeds will reduce
the yield of both fodder and grain at
least one third. This is especially the
case where large weeds are allowed to
grow among potatoes, and in and
about the hill; the crop will be light
and Of small size. Now no farmer
can afford to put his fields to such
use. If he cannot properly attend to
THE matter Of cultivation himself or
cause it to be done by others, he had
far better conflne his effort to a
smaller surface and such an one as can
be sufficiently and properly attend TO-
1t is to befeared that sufli-
cient attention. is not paid
to the eradication OF weeds.
These are the pests of our farms that
exert so powerful an influence in the
withdrawal of fertility. Hold as
much as possible for the use Of crops.

DUEL TO THE DEATH.

Count Peter Romonoff, supposed to Be Re-

LONDON. Dec. 2S.-The newspaper which
contained the story Of q duel at Monte
Carlo. between an American and q Russian
known as the Count Peter Romonoff. was
the Vienna Tageblatt. and not the Berlin
Iageblatt. as at first reported. A dispatch
to-day says that the American engaged in
the duel was named Jay B~rockton. and he
was not from Brooklyn, as before stated,
the suggestion that he was from Brooklyn
having undoubtedly been caused by a mis-.
take as to his NAME. The American and
Russian quarreled at the gambling tables.
as before stated. Romonoff being tho ag-
gressor. The American sharply resented
an insulting remark on the part OF the
Count and an immediate challenge was the
result. The two men fought In the grounds
of q private villa and evidently meart Q
duel to the death. The conditions were
twenty-five paces. with liberty to advance
within two PAGES of each other and to keep
on firing until one or the other should fall.
Both the American m Russian came calm
ly to the mark. and the word being given.
they fired with deadly intent, at the same
time starting to advance. The second bnllet
from Brockton's pistol struck ,RomonOff
lust above the heart. The Count reeled and
fell and IN n few moments expired.
Considerable mystery exists as 20 the
identity of Count Peter Romonotf. His
name. real OF assumed, has suggested some
connection with tho imperial family of
Russia. 1t Is suggested that Count Peter
Romonoff may OF may not be the travelling
lncOgnito of the Grand Duke Peter Nicola
iovitcb. who Is the second son of the late
Grand Duke Nicolai Nicolaiovitch, who
was the Cars uncle. The Grand Duke
Peter was born at st. Petersburg in 1894, 10

guard. and married in 1889. at PeterhOtI the

Prince of Montenegro.
Further particulars of the duel were re-
ceived this evening. The quarrel out of
which the duel grew appears to have been
due TO a Misunderstanding on the part of
the Count. 1t seems that BrocktOn bad
been winning heavily at the gambling
tables and had tossed q p%ourboire to the
%croupier, which the Count supposed was
intended for him. The Count accused
Brockton of insulting him by throwing
him the coin. Brockton denied the charge.
and tried to explain that the coin was for
the croupier. The Count repeating that
Brockton had insulted him, Brockton rave
him the lie direct. and q challenge fol-
lowed. The names OF the seconds are not
known. BrocktOn left Nice yesterday. He
had been there six weeks. and had played
at the tables almost daily. He was quite
popular.

of the explosion in this city. The police,
after making q most searching investiga-

he had been and what he had been doing
was true in every particular. Their inquir-
les revealed that the man in custody had
not been near the scene of the explosion,
and an alibi having been satisfactorily
shown. nothing remained but to release
him. The police are, therefore, az far az
ever from discovering the author of the
outrage. The dead detective was buried

When Mr.. Gladstone. who is s%ojourning

outrage. he displayed profound agitation.
He quickly recovered his com osure. how
