COLONEL MosBY.-A dispatch from
Charlottesville states that the condition
of Col. John S. Mosby continues to i'm.
prove slowly. He is not suffering pain
and was conscious yesterday and con-
versed on business topics. The physi.
clans are now very hopeful.
A dispatch from Charlottesville dated
last night says "Mr. Robert NJ. Camp.
bell, Col Mosby's son-in-law. stated in
An interview tonight that he did not
consider the Colonel as we'll as he had
been during the day, and that he was
suffering some pain in his head. His
temperature is quite high, and he is
not as rational as he was during the
early part of the day. This morning
he discussed several matters of private
business with members of his family,
and talked with the medical attendants
about his accident, asking numerous
questions as to where it occurred and
where the inlirmary he was in WAS To-
Gated. He expressed thanks for the
kindDess that had been shown him in
allowing the use of the infrmary build
ing for his family, and spoke OF how
much he appreciated the attention that
was being giving him."
a dispatch received in this city at
IL o'clock to-day stated Col. Moshy
was better.

ARREST OF FIREBUGS.-The alarm
of fire about 8 o'clock last night was
caused by the partial burning OF
stable in West Fad belonging to Mr..
Constant Ponnet. The fire was soon
extinguished by the residents of the
neighborhood, and the engines from
this city did not go into service. West
End and large portion of Alexandria
became excited aud jumped at the con-
Clusion that the negroes were wreaking
vengeance on white people for the re-
Cent lynching. People living in West
End came here ana asked that city po-
licemen be detailed for duty in that 10
cality, but, of course, this could not be
done, and as consequence numbers
passed night of anxiety. The Mayor
told the applicants their surmises were
erroneous, and thEt the fact that fires
occurred on windy days or nights was
no evidence that wholesale incen-
diarsm on the part Of negroes WAS in
progress. Later in the night it devel-
oped that two white men, Richard
Burnett and George Chichester, and
negro named Ei. Jameson. who has
served II term in the penitentiary for
assaulting and robbing Sefer Blouse,
were responsible for the fire. Chi
chester SOW Sergeant Smith aud
stated to him that Jameson set
the stable on fire and that he was
instigated to commit the act by Burnett.
The latter and the negro were arrested
and this morning they were brought
before the Mayor. Jameson during
the night had made voluntary comics.
sion to the effect that both Burnett and
Chichester were parties TO the crime
After The officers had made their state
ments Chichester took the stand and
said be, Jameson and Burnett left the
latter's house and proceeded up the
railroad track "a far as the first lane,
where waste from a car box was OBJ
sained. Burnett remained at the lane
and gave Chichester pistol. Witness
and the negro proceeded to the barn
and Jameson set it on fire. The ne
gro, in his statement TO the court.
charged both Chichester ard Burnett
with being acaomplices and claimed
they conceived and directed the act.
Burnett, Jameson said, remained at
the first lane while he and Chichester
proceeded to the barn and applied the
match which Chichester furnished. The
Mayor held all three to await the ac-
ton of the Fairfax authorities, who
were Immediately notified, and this af-
ternoon they were taken to Fairfax
Courthouse by Sergeant Smith and OF
fcer Ferguson.

Farming Methods in Japan.

Japan is one vast garden and as you
look over the fields you can imagine
that they are covered with toy farms
where the children are playing with
the laws of nature and raising samples
Of different kinds of vegetables and
grains. Everything is on diminutive
scale, and the work is as fine and ac-
curate as that applied to Cloisonne
vase. What would an Illinois or an Iowa
farmer think Of planting his corn,
wheat, oats and barley in punches and
then, when it is three or four inches
high, transplanting every spear of it
in rows about as far apart as you can
stretch your fingers? A japanese
farmer weeds his wheat fields just rs
a Connecticut farmer weeds his onion
bed, and cultivates his potatoes and
barley with as much care as a Long
Island farmer bestows upon his as
paragus and mushrooms or his flowers

EARLY GARDEN CROPS.

Seod Should Be Sown as Soon as the
Ground Can Be Worked.
There are number of vegetables
that can be sown as early in the spring
as the condition of the soil will adj
lott. They start to grow early and will
supply salads and early vegetables in
good season. 10 secure the best re-
suits all preparatory work should be
done in advance, so that at the first ia
vorable opportunity the planting can
be done.
There is no advantage in attempting
to make the garden until the soil is
in condition to be worked readily into
fine filth. But it is well to have every
thing in readiness. One item is thor
oughly to pillow the ground. Soil that is
well plowed and we'll drained will not
only dry out earlier, but will warm up
quicker than if left undisturbed until
spring. 1t is always best to pillow deep
and thorough, and in finishing, run out
burrows wherever necessary to pro-
vide good drainage.
Whatever manuring is necessary can
also be done during the winter. The
manure used i'll the garden should be
thoroughly rottcd and refined, for two
reasons. One is that this condition is
necessary, so that it can be we'll in
corporated with the soil. The other is
that in order to be available the plant
food in the manure or fertilizer must
be soluble, and rotting and filming are
essential in making it easily soluble.
Another advantage in rotting the ma
lure is that any weed seeds it may con-
tain will be destroyed. 1t pays to ma
Eurc literally. There is little danger
Of having the soil too rich. A good
rich soil, thoroughly prepared, is one
Of the first essentials in having good
garden.
Another thing that can be looked aft
er in advance is the seed. Good seed
is another essential to a good crop of
any kind, and for the early garden it is
necessary to secure what is needed in
coed season.
In making up the list it is always best
to rely upon old standard varieties for
the main crop, trying novelties OF a
small scale until their value is ascer-
tanned. 1t is well to remember that the
extraordinary growth and yield Sc
cured with many novelties are the re-
suit of the most favorable conditions
cf growth, and that varieties that do
well in one locality and kind of soil
often prove failures when grown under
entirely different conditions.
Do not get too many varieties. With
~. -
suffice, while in some cases it will be
better to have an early, medium and
late, in order to maintain supply with
In. least trouble.
Onions, radishes. lettuce, spinach,
peas, beets. early cabbage, kale, can
all be sown as soon as the soil can be
worked in the spring.-St. Louis Re
nuhlic
