Barnyard Manure For Cotton.

QUESTION. lis barnyard manure a
good fertilizer for cotton I used ID
last year, but the results did not come
up to my expectations
ANSWER. We have found that barn.
yard manure acts more effectually for
cotton, when used as soil improyer
rather than direct fertilizer. If barn.
yard manure is to be used, it is more
profitable to compost it some time pre-.
yious to its application to the land, com.
5ining with it acid phosphate and pot
ash in some form. These not only have
q specific value, bat by certain chemi.
cal combinations with the elements in
the manure render it more valuable
than when in its natural condition.
This composing may be done directly
in the drill and a list thrown on it to-
prevent the escape of ammonia. but
there should always. be time allowed
for decomposition. We would not ad-
wise the application Of barnyard manure
to cotton just at the time Of planting.

Some Stage BIunders.

Garrick first used concealed lights OIL
the stage; and it was quite common in
his time to have long ranges of seats &C.
cupied by spectators on the stage, says an
exchange. This arrangement had some-
times a ludicrous effect. Romeo, as he
bore the dead body of Juliet from the
capulets, went through a crowd of peo-
ple and IN Macbeth the murder Of Dun
can was privately plotted by the two chief
personages in the very presence of a mob
of fashionable spectators.
Occasionally some innocent occupant
caused great sport by assisting the ac-
tors. Thus Hamlet, before addressing
his fathers spirit. as usual, threw off his
hat, when an ofticious lady, recolectihg
a remark about nipping and eager air.
rose and adroitly placed it on his head
In Pizarro a similar kindness was once
done to Elvira, who is discovered asleep
on couch. Naldere enters, kneels and
kisses her hand, when Elvira awakes
and rising, let's fall her rich velvet cloak
as she prepares, like a tragedy queen, to
repel her lovers advances. At this criti-
cal juncture a lady rushed forward, eX-
claiming, please, ma am, you've dropped
your mantle" and tried to replace the
mantle upon Elviras shoulders.
A much more absurd mistake was made
by boy when Mrs. Siddons was giving
one of her marvellous performances at
Edinburg. AS Lady Macbeth she went on
the stage to go through the somnambulist
performance. Before doing so she had
sent a boy for some porter but the cue
for her entrance was given before he re-
turned, and it was a moment of intense
awe and stiffness as she whispered rub
bing her hands. out, out, damned spot"
that a tiny figure, holding out large pew
ter pot at full length, entered from the
wings, eXclaiming, in the shrillest of child
ish trebles, Here's your porter, muml"
A more ludicrous circumstance occurred
at Theater Royal, Newcastle, Macready
was thrilling a full house by his amazing
histrionic powers as Hamlet, and a dread
fully solemn effect had just been produced
by the fall of the slaughtered prince, when
a loud voice, proceeding from a tall man
who boldly emerged from the wings, drag
gring with him friend, roared, ITS all
- nonsense, Jack. He's not dead at all;
1 saw him just now shaking that leg
there" The audience was suddenly con-
vulsed with laughter at this remark, made
by one who had dined well rather than
wisely, and in q moment of weakness had
been permitted, as the house was liter
ally crammed, to occupy a place in the
wings.

The Authorities Dened.

It is apparent that the sale of lottery
tickets has not yet been stopped, not
withstanding the fact that a number of
those who deal in them have been indict-
ed The continued sale of tickets amounts
practically to an announcement by lottery
people that they defy the authorities. They
continue their business, according to the
reports, openly and above board, and the
authorities apparently are powerless to
compel them to close their places of bust
ness.
1t would seem as if with a large police
force, together with sheriff's detectives
and constables. and the courts ready TO do
their duty, there ought to be no difficulty
in putting a stop to the lottery business. 1t
has been going on for years, and the fines
which have been imposed upon those in
dicted and convicted have amounted prac-
tically to a license to do business.
Suppose the police are given Instructions
to watch for dealers in the lottery bust
ness and arrest all who are engaged in it,
and suppose the courts send these indicted
and convicted to the chain-gang instead
of imposing a fine upon them, wouldn't
there be a pretty sudden stop in the sale
Of lottery tickets? We are inclined to
think there would. The plan we propose
is well worth trying.
1t is evident that the finding of an in
dictment now and then and the infection of
a fine of $780, or even a $1,000, has not the
effect of causing the offenders to respect
the law. Even while the indictments are
pending and the grand jury is sitting the
sale of tickets, it is reported. goes on
Neither the law nor those who administer
and execute it have any terrors for the lot

1t is the purpose of the republican lead
ers to push the tariff bill through the
House quickly, allowing very little time
for it's consideration. They have agreed
to vote on the bill on March 81. The re-
publicans have the necessary majority.
and they can do pretty much as they
please. But, even if the bill should be
rushed through the House, it would not
be rushed through the Senate. The Sen
ate is going to debate IT, and it is safe
to say, will make some radical changes
in it. When 1t gets through that body,
those who framed it will be unable to
recognize some portions of it. Particular

republicans say these schedules will

The tariff bill was reported to the House

1t is regrettable that it isn't possible to

damaging effect upon business. There are
so many conflicting interests. however.

The south Broad street Improvement

1t is understood that the tree commits
sion will improve the neutral ground on
South Broad street-will plant trees and
grass-but what about the sides of the
street, the places between the sidewalks
and the curbing? Will the tree commits
sion improve these spaces also, or will it
depend upon the people to improve the
little plats in front Of their respective
houses? There ought to be some uniform
ity in the work. Trees and grass should
be planted, and only trees and grass. 1t
would be folly to plant flowers and shrub
berry.
Col. w. w. Gordon is setting a good
example to the other residents of tie
street. He is planting the plat in front
of his home in grass, and within month
or two he will have a beautiful green
sward, which will add greatly to the at
tractiveness Of that part of the street. If
other do not follow his example at once.
should not the tree commission take
charge of the improvement, putting the
expense upon the lot owners? If the
street is to be made a beautiful one, all
the vacant plats must be improved and
the improvement must be uniform.
That part of the street between Aber-
corn and Lincoln, on the north side, needs
attention from the city engineer before
the plats can be improved. The street
is so far below the sidewalk that every
rain washes the sand from the plats into
the street. Something must be done be-
fore the plats can be improved.
In connection with this subject, it
might be well to ask, do the city au-
thorities intend to permit the improve
ments to be destroyed as fast as they
are made, or do they intend to protect
the grass? This is a matter that ought to
be attended to at once There is an or
dinance now that provides a penalty for
trampling the grass Of squares and plats.
Why not enforce it? If enforced for a
few months the people would learn to
respect it, and there would be no further
trouble in respect to the grass. Shall
we have a new order of things in this
matter or shall we run along in the same
old rutS?

We are panied and surprised-a good
deal more panied than surprised-by the
information which comes from Atlanta
detailing how the city conducted herself
during the prize fight at Carson. We
have it from the staid and conservative
Atlanta Constitution that the city was
shaken to the core" while the big bat
tie was on. There was no business in
any part of the "throbbing town." Every
body went down to the Kimball-men,
women, children, dogs and parrots-to get
the first news of the fight. Amid the
hoarse rumble of excitement in the cor.
rdors came shrieks of loyal women, VINO
filled the balconies and wildly waved their
handkerchiefs" Society was evidently
out in force On great occasions the
Kimball is the social center, as during
meetings of the legislature and at other
times it is the political center. There
were no card parties thought of that day.
All of the "loyal women" were on hand
for the fight. But there were others at
the Kimball besides society folks and
loyal women" Leading politicians were
there. Public officials We're there. Mould
ers of public opinion were there; betting
money on the outcome. And actually
laying odds on the wrong man! In Allan
ia, that is a grevious moral obliquity.
"Fitz in the fourteenth came the mes
sage. "Then the skylight lifted itself
from the roof" says the faithful and ac-
curate chronicer. The sea of human
ity was tossed in a frenzied froth 1t
was a noise which only those who heard
it can understand" The 'loyal women"
had evidently placed their money on the
freckled Cornishman. Some of the loyal
women according to the Constitution,
screamed until they gasped."
The Rev. Sam Jones has been in At
lanta for something like two weeks. He
has been engaged, as he has expressed
it. In a fgurative fight with the
devil. II appears from the reports that
society and the loyal women" have turn
ed out to his meetings, and have cheered
his cross-counters and upper-cuts upon
the adversary. But he has never yet sue
ceeded in arousing them to that pitch of
enthusiasm which lifts the skyllght off
He has not been able, with the eloquence
of his verbal left hooks to make them

never suspended business to get first news
Of how the Jones-Devil fight was progress
ing. A comparatively few persons have
gone out to see each round. and fgu,
ratively shouted. go 1t, Jones; go it,
Devilw But Jones has not received from
Atlanta as sincere partisan friendship as
the loyal women" who screamed until
they gasped" gave the prize fighters in
Carson. Mr.. Jones is making a plucky
and commendable fight. But IT is evident
that Atlanta regards him merely as en
attraction, an entertainer. a theological
circus. and goes out to see and hear him
in that spirit 1t is also evident that 1t
will take Mr.. Jones considerable more
than fourteen rounds to knock the Devil
out of Atlanta.
