AMERICAN CONDEMNED TO DIE.
An Alabama Man Sentenced in Pan
ann for a Murder.

New York, Aug. 9.-The Heraid's Panama
correspondent telegraphs the following: a
dispatch from the Herald's correspondent
in Medellin says that Charles Radford, OF
Alabama, has been condemned d to death for
the murder several months ago of Charles
II. Sin,onds, a wealthy merchant of Cali.
In all probability this sentence will be
commuted to life imprison ment, as capital
punishment is never exercised here save in
exceptional! cases

The acidity of Upland Soils is
probably due to the removal of
crops and the use of certain fer
lizers that exhaust the lime and
other basic Ingredients of the soil,
leaving more of the acid than
would be the case were nature
allowed to take her course, An acid
condition of the soil then results.
Some plants thrive hest under such
condition, but clover, shmothy
and beets are injured on such soil
There is no easy way of telling to
what extent soils are acid, but a
strongly marked rsddsning Of blue
litmus paper. indicates acidity.
A dangerous degree of acidity, or
at least q fatal lack of carbonate
of lime, appears to exist in upland
and naturally well-drained soils
and is not confined to muck and
peat swamps and very wet lands,
as most American and many other
writer's seem 4. to assume. Such
assumption is because the partial
failure of certain crops upon these
lands has been attributed to other
reasons. These are the conclusions
arrived at by the Rhode Island ex-
pertinent station after several years
work. The remedy seems to be
a generous appliction of air-slaked
lime. The amount applied varies
from 500 to 1000 lbs per acre, to be
broadcasted and harsowed in.

We naturally have o very exalted

the ladies of society in the early days Of

any but the most dignified manner. In

feel highly elated to know that they in
any wise resemble their supposed court
" ancestors. 1t is to be hoped that they
are not kin to the personages referred to
in the following complaint:
One of our early ntateamen actually
complains that between tippee beaux
and fashionable belle, an honest fellow
will stand good chance Of being feeced
by the politest tissue Of mistakes con-
ceivable. The gentleman will help him
self very casually to your hat If 1t ia
better than his. take up your umbrella
with the most absent air imaginable,
bear of your loose coat without once
peroeiving his mistake and pick your
gloves, they 30 much resemble his"

proceeding:
