Mrs. Hobart and the Sabbath.

When the Vice President and
Mrs. Hobart signiiicd to the Belgian
minister at Washington their desire
to entertain Prince Albert, the
crown prince Of Belgium, they were
informed that Sunday evening would
be an agreeable date for their royal
guest to attend the proposed dinner
party proffcred. TO this proposal
Mrs. Hobart returned a prompt re-
fnsal, giving even royalty to under
stand that on the Lords day Ancri-
cans were engaged in something
higher ti,an giving dinners, a custom
which she does not propose to in
fringe upon for any cause.
This recalls the brave act of Gen.
Grant, when, during his visit in
Paris, he was invited by the govern
mcnt to attend the races on Sunday,
he courteously but positively de-
clined the invitation, telling his
French hosts that it was not the
custom of his country to have such
festivities on day kept holy.
One of the many blessings for
which the American people have
cause to be thankful is that their
rulers, from Washington down, have
seldom failed to render proper recog-
milton to the religious sentiment of
the nation, and to give the weight of
their high example to the observance
of our Christian ordinanccs.-T
Lutheran World.

Will Fight the Cattle Tick.

CLAYTON, Ga, April 3.-A meet
ing of the representative men from
all parts Of the county was held at
the court honsc in Clayton for the
purpose Of devising means to pre-
vent the spreading of disease among
the cattle Of this mountain region by
what is known as the seattle tick"
An organization was formed to be
known as the Rabun County Cattle
Protective Association.
Various committees were appointed
to frame bylaws and resolutions, to
correspond with the commissioners
of agriculture of this State, Of North
Carolina, and of the United States.
Every person present became a mem
Der of the association. IIcrca' cr
strict quarantine measures will be
enforced against all portions of this
and other States congcnia to the
cattle tick. Because Of negligence
heretofore in this particular, the
northern markets have been closed
to the cattle men Of this section.

Tho Velvet Bean.

No plant introduced in recent
years h as received so much favora,
bic notice as the velvet bean, nor is
there a plant more worthy of the
earnest attention of Southern farm
crs. 1t belongs to the Icgumc family,
and as nitrogen gathcrcr easily
stands ut the head of the list.
The Alabama experiment station
tested it thoroughly, and found that
the vines from an acre contained POI
pounds of nitrogen, and when turned
under would equal in fcrtiizing value
an application Of $500 pounds Of
cotton seed meal. The plot on which
the beans were grown-a poor sandy
loam--was planted in oats the year
following and yielded thirty-four
bushels per acre, whereas an ad Join
ing plot where crab grass had been
plowcd under yielded only eight
bushels, the plot being worked and
cultivated in identically the same
manner. Hundreds of farmers re-
port equally satisfactory results on
all kinds of crops following the beans.
On the poor, thin lands of Florida the
results i'll improving the soil have
been little short of marvellous.
The velvet bean will grow in all
the Southern States on the poorest
soils, and yields an enormous crop of
vines. AS a stock feed it far cx-
cccds cowpcas in nutritivc value, and
will yield three tons Of hay or 1900
pounds OF shelled beans, equivalent
TO the same weight iii cotton seed
meal in analysis. by planting this
great crop as 4 rotation the fertilizer
bills can be reduced one halt, as it
will be necessary to supply crops fol-
lowing with potash and phosphoric
acid only, the bcens supplying sutli-
cicnt nitrogen from the air
The bean will be worth millions of
dollars to the South in restoring
worn out cotton fields and poor lands,
and every farmer should plaat some
this year, if only for experimental
purposes.
Leading farmers who will test
them can get quart Of seed de-
hvcrcd, with full instructions for
planting, by sending dime Ccn

Dewey for President.

New York, April "A special
to the World from Washington says:
"Admiral Dewey authorizes the
World to announce to the American
people that after mature reflection
and in response TO the earnest en-
treaties from all parts Of tho country
his former decision not under any
circumstances to run for the Prcsi
dent is rescinhod."
a World correspondent saw the
Admiral at his home at 6 o'clock last
evening. Admiral Dewey said:

rived when must definitely define
my position.
"When arrived in this country
last year said nothing would in
ducc me to be candidate for the
Presidency.
"Sincc then. however, have had
the leisure and inclination to study
the matter and have reached lii-
ferent conclusion, inasmuch as so
many assurances have come to me
from my countrymcn that would
be acceptable as n candidate for this
great Office. If the American rno-
pie want me for this high Office
shall be only too willing to serve
them.
cit is the highest honor in the
gift Of this nation; what citizen
would refuse it?
"Sincc studying this subject |
am convinced that the Office Of prcSi-
dent is not such a very difficult one
to fill, his duties being mainly to
execute the laws OF Congress.

altcd position would execute the

Again pro-British folks contend,
Tho Bocrs lack tho forward trend,
Required by tho present ago,
When getting rich is all the rage.
They argue that, in British hands,
The wealth of gold in Bocr hands,
Would find won't TO channels wide,
And swell them to II great flood tide.
Suppose this robbing scheme SO bold,
Should ballast merchant ships with gold,
It's market price would SO decline,
1t would not pay tho gold to mine.
And if, through trusts and tricks of
trade,
1t should arisn to higher grade,
The gain would be a short lived ono,
Since robbers days their course soon run.
The silver, dress and wodgo of gold
by Achan hid in days of old,
Tho thief onrichcd, but ho atoncd,
In Achor's vale, where he was stoned.

AS near his house it's foliage waved,
And whom the good man would not SELL

Good Naboth slain to got his lands,
Tho dogs licked blood of Ahab slain,
Who're Naboth died Oh Jczrccl plain.

May gain vast spoils, to loso them all,
And if they gain tho worlds control,
