Illoridn Sof, Phosphate.

There is new theory aioat now in
regard to Florida soft phosphate, one
which it is said has been proven more
than an hypothesis by actual test not
only i'll the laboratory ofthe chemist, but
in that also of nature. the field. Prof.
Liebig holds that organic matter under
going decay accumulates carbonic acid
in the soil, and when the showers fall
they dissolve the carbonic acid which
then has the power to take up phos-
phate of lime. Uron this assertion
tests have been made both i'll the labora-
tory and in the fields of the expert
ment stations with both the acid phos-
phate, and sofC phosphate nearly dried
and ground. The experiments show
largely in favor OF the soft phosphate
untreated with acid These expert
ments show also that in the Flor
ida soft phosphate the farmers
OF the fut ire will not have to
give all they can make for a ton of ma
nipulated stuff that may or may not be
worthless. Fourteen hundred pounds
of soft phosphate floats at 80 cents per
hundred $3.50; 800 pounds OF Potash at
SD, 200 pounds of pirate CT soda or
sulphate of ammonia at Sc, making III
all for ton S2290, would give our
farmers a high grade manure for a
minimum price. The soft phosphate
floats can be had in any quantity at s.
per ton on board the cars or boats.
When the newly discovered deposits OF
nitrate of soda can be worked and tie
price brought down to so per ton, or
even less, in Savannah, as it is said
can he done there. there VII be no
more jcstiug about Florida sand. The
above formula has been used in this
vicinity this year under lettuce, tm-
nips, cabbage and strawberries, with
the most satista tory results by num-
ber of our farmers.

a well known electrician recently.
"Why? For the simple reason that
think that was the way nature intend

be suspended in the air hung like u
magnetic needle, you would find that
it would act like one The head of the
body will eventually point toward the
north. 1t might take time, but it will
surely get there. Now, taking this
into consideration, believe that every
person should sleep with the head to the
north to get the benefit of the magnetic
current that comes from that source.
Yes, it is rather inconyenient some

Evanston, Wyo., April 13.-At midnight
last night Gen. Kelly's army of the com
monweal, which had encamped on the
plains Of Utah, eight niles out of Ogden,
quickly broke camp and captured Union
Pacific freight train made up Of box cars
en- route to the mines. Gen. Kelly at
once assumed command of the train load
Of fcotsore and weary travellers. The en-
gineer and fireman obeyed orders 40 is
sued by the commandant, as they had
instructions to do so FROM Supt. Bancroft,
of the Mountain division, shosld one of
the trains in his division be captured by
the industrial legion. The capture was
totally unexpected. although Snpt. Ban.
croft had predicted that such q move
ment would very likely take place on the
part Of Gen. Kenlly and his henchmen.
The march from Ogden was full of Incl.
dent and excitement to the hundreds of
men who compose the army. There were
plenty of stragglers, men weak from want
of food, men with rheumatism, pneumo-
mia and the countless other tbia9s that
follow In the wake of starvatios ard pri-
walton. When Utah WAS reached the
army decided to 20 into camp for the
night, but pickets were put out, and when
freight train came along it was held up
In regular bold bandit style, the train
men showing little disposition to question
the right of the men to take charge of the
train.

IMPORTANT LAND CASE.

The Dnrden-Northern Paclnc Case
fsefOrc the Supreme Court.
Washington, April 12.-The full bench
Of the supreme court was engaged to-day
in hearing the arguments in the case Of
Bartlen vs.. the Northern Pacific, which
comes to this court OH appeal from the
circuit court for the district of Montana.
The question is whether the lands ascer-
tained to be mineral lands after grant to
the railroad company are the property of
the company, congress having excluded
mineral lands from the operations of the
grant. The railroad company insists that
only mineral lands are excluded as were
known to be mineral at the time of the
grant, while counsel for Barden assert
that the mineral lands are excluded up
to the time the patents is issued there
for. The principle laid down by the
court In it's decision Of this case will
have an important bearing on other min
eral land contests in Montana, and the
interests at stake are very large. Most
of the mineral lands along the Northern
Pacific in Montana, Idaho and Washing
ton will be affected by this case.
