The United States Agricultural De-
partment in reporting on Free Seed
Distribution, says:
While one purpose Of the law was
to secure reports from the receivers
as to results of actual experiment the
reports actually received did not
amount to one-hundredth of one per
cent. of the persons supplied. Nor were
those received sufficiently definite to
be of any practical service. a careful
review Of the department reports, es-
pecially those of the chiefs of the seed
division during the past decade, in
which over 81, 100, 900 was expended for
free seed distribution, fails to reveal
a single instance of benefit to agricul-
ture attributable to this distribution.
"Of hundreds of papers, mostly agri-
cultural, received at the department
not one is found to the dis
tribution, many of them persistently
ridicule it, most of them condemn II,
While grange associations and other
agricultural bodies have adopted res
olutions to the same effect"
Cultivator and Country Gentleman,
Of Albany, n. Y, says:
IF congressman wish to make pres
ents Of seeds to their bucolic n 9TH
er constituents, they should do so at
their own and not at Uncle Sans ex-
pense. The sending out of seeds OF
particular kinds for trial in various
sections OF the country, to be acknowl-
edged by reports when results have
been noted, is a practice which may
result in great benefit to agriculture;
but the dealing out Of ordinary vege-
table and flower seeds Costing the do
nors %nothing) by congressman to every
Tom, Dick and Harry who chooses to
apply for them (and to many who do
not), entailing extra labor and expense
on the post-ofice department, is a
mighty poor. business. It is we'll known
that many persons write for seeds n
then sell them, which is theft Of the
meanest kind, though one Of many bad
results which might be expected to ac-
crue from such irrational appropria-
TONS"
A dispatch from Paris, Texas, says:
1.-The post-office here has a white ele-
plant on it's hands in the shape Of bien-
NAL supply Of garden seed that has
been sent out by Congressman D. B.
Culberson to his constituents. There
are seen in the consignment for par
ties who have been dead for fifteen
years and for others who have remov-
ed from this section nearly as many
years ago. The quantity of seeds sent
to this Office for distribution is enor-
NOUS"
Those in favor Of abolishing free dis
%tributiOn of seeds, by the government,
should write at once to their United
States senators and congressional rep
resentatives, urging them to vote
against n appropriation for free
seeds.

Resisted the Officers.

Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
]. P. Flynn and Deputy Sheriff William
Fonyeille, colored, arrested William
Pearsall, colored, in front Of the Sea-
mems Bethel, for being trunk and dis
orderly.
Pearsall resisted the officers but after
they had him under arrest he drew a
razor from his pocket and tried to hand
it % one of his friends. but Deputy
Flynn snatched it away from him and
put it in his pocket. When the officers
got Pearsall to From and Market
streets, he said he wanted to see an
other of his friends, Sam Jones, a car
penter who is working on Mrs. E. War
rem & Sons store. They obliged him,
and when Jones came up, Pearsall
handed him a long, spring back knife.
Deputy Flynn made him give the knife
to Deputy Fonveille and when he turn
ed the prisoners arm loose to put the
knife in his pocekt. Pearsall suddenly
dealt Deputy Flynn a vicious blow
drawing the blood from his forehead.
Deputy Flynn drew his club and gave
Pearsall several rapts on the head and
there was a squally time Of it for a
few moments. A big Grove gathered
around and some negroes went to Pear
Sails rescue, aiding and abetting him.
They stood around and kept back sew
eral white men who started to the aid
of the officers. Some of the white men
mistook the colored deputy for one OF
P~earsalI's friends and during the strug-
gle they handled him pretty roughly.
PearsalI was carried before Justice
r. H. Bunting and there he carried on
outrageously, almost bringing on an
other row in which white n blacks
were mixed up generally. Pearsali
cursed and abused officer Oscar Mills
fearfully, and wanted to get at him. II
seems that he had a grudge against
Mr.. Mills, and made a threat that he
would yet give him a whipping.
PersalI was sent to Jail and will have
a hearing tomorrow at 10 a. m, on the
charge of drunk and disorderly, resist
ing officers in the discharge Of their
duty and with carrying a concealed
deadly weapon. He is the man who
was arrested a few months on the
charge Of snatching a pocket book
from Miss Herring, on Third street.
