The internal revenue office of; the
5th district was removed, on the 30th
ult., from. Winston, where it ' had
been located for several years, to
Reidsville; the home of Collector
Byd. Perhaps the location of ' the
office at Reidsville may suit , the peo
ple of the district who have business
with it, and perhaps not, but we re
fer to the subject simply to remark
that it seems to us that the collector&'
offices should be located with some
system, with a view to 'the prompt
dispatch of business and the conven
ience of those interested. Heretofore,
and at present the location is ati the
discretion of ihe collectors, who hat
urally.desire to have the offices , at
their places of residence as a matt r
of convenience to them. 1 The collec
tor's office of that district was first
located at Greensboro, where it; re
mained several years; on the ap
pointment of Dr. Wheeler he remov
ed it to Winston, his residence;
where it was located several years ;
and now it has ben removed to
Reidsville, Collector Boyd's residence,
where it will probably be located
during: his incumbency. These chan
ges of location must derange business
more or less, and whether they do or
not, they lead to contentians and
struggles for the office among the
respective towns, which do no
ecood and which would be avoided if
the office was permanently located at
some central point convenient and
The Court Orders I bat She

New York, July 2. The case of
Mrs. Lucille Yseult Dudley who was

again today; : Before the proceedings
Degan a weman laoonng unaer ex
citement appeared at the door of the
court she was prevented from- enter
ing, when she announced herself as a
dynamiter; : She said that Mrs. Dud
ley was no more insane, than she (the
speaker) was and asked why Mrs.
Dudley was not sent to jail like other
people. When told ,to leave the
building she, refused and " was ar
rested and taken to the police court.
Mrs. Dudley was in court but was
confined in the prison pen, v Judge
Gildersleeve, . the district : attorney
and th risbi er's counsel held a long
consultation at the end of which the
court denied, the motion to transfer
pMrs. Dudley - to the En sclish asy lums
The djtstrict attorney suggested tht
she 'be tent to the State asylum at
Auburnl but Judge Gildersleeve ex
pressed his-'preferences for Middle
town asylum and sent Mrs Dudley
there to be confined ' indefinitely
When notified of this disposition ot
her case the prisoner said she. was

Wot That Sort of a Convention..
The most lamentable typographic
cal error on record has; . been -made
by the Honena (Ga.,) Path Plaindeal
er. , Its Atlanta correspondent wrote
that the Re v7 Sam ' Jones had con
verted 2,500 and the 7 Rev. Dr. MunT
hall. J,000t .intending to. have, the
persons" understood after; each set
of figures. The intelligent compose
tor: dropped a couple of dollar marks
he had no special use for in; the ;yai;
cant places, boweverj: and caused the
statement to appear that ! the Rev.
Sam Jones' had converted '$2 500."
and the Rev. Mr. Munhall u$l,000."
soil or sand or gravel is best, because
it contains heat and moisture, with
out too much heat or too much wet,
as a superabundance. of either checks
decaj of the elements of the soil and
stops growth. The best soil is worse
than none if it does not possess a due
proportion of heat. Of light, and of
moisture, which must also vary as
season advances. .
The effects of the different samples
of which the soil is composed will
show what proportions are needed to
improve defective ones.? Silica (sand)
renders a soil open, friable and
warmer; alumina (clay) has exactly
the contrary effects ; chalk or lime
have an intermediate effect It is
evident; then, that a heavy, cold, wet
sou requires a certain proportion of
Rilica; while a too sandy soil will call
for alumina. Sometimes merely
plowing deeper, if it is of the right
kind, will restore the true balance,
and an addition .of : well rotted ma
nure will obviate the usual disadvan
tage arising from mixing a raw sub
soil-with the top mould. The life of
a soil depends entirely upon its pbw
er, of decay under, the usual seasonal
ble changes of warmth and moisture
It is not necessary toefer to the vast
power, exerted on" the, soils by the
lerht of the sun. because no one is
ikely to 'shut out this all-powerful
helement from his fields.
There is one more quality in soils
equally desirable that of supporting
tne plant in an upngnt position, as
no vegetation can flourish if thrown
down. " A manure or fertilizer is on
ly a benefit when it is decaying un
der a due amount of heat and mois
ture, and therefore, soils to be good
must be actixe. Commercial fertui
zers are a serious damage unless

A Novel Wager and a Remarkable
. retition.
V The ease with which signatures can
be obtained for almost any sort of
petition was under discussion by
several members of the New York
Produce v Exchange. , It was re
marked that 1 solid business men
were not- so Teady;; ;to write their
nahies as had been ' imagined, and
that papers -asking for - appointment
to political positions were the docu
ments J on w hich the autographs
meant nothing.; ; A dissenter from
that view offered to bet that he "could
get fifty signatures within two hours
to a petition' formally imploriag the
British government to make immedi
ate war with Russia, in order, to bene
fit business in the ; Exchange. The
wager was made. The maker of the
proposition wrote out the request in
Formal language, at the top of a long
sheet of paper, and made a round of
the floor at ;the most : bustling , hour
of the, day, 11'Herp,? Ihe would say
to a hurried; member. I . want your
name on this paper. , ? Iifa f o nothing
for- a friend of mine: Read it.'!
Sometimes the taiatt wduld' glance at
the writings see the joke and promise
sflence j-butctn the.reqUisite time fifty
signatures were appended without the
slightest scrutiny; and hthel bare
assurance that it was 4allirtghW'i fi
nally, the remarkable petition was
posted on the bulletin J board to raise
mmoderate laughter."
