Ferdinand Ward was on the wit nes9 stand all day today, being under examination in the case of .?Holt against "Warner; He seemed to be in very good health and the warden of Ludlow street jail said that he weigh -edjnore than when he entered the iail ' He was very clear and concise in his replies, and had an elaborate memorandum 10 which be referred. A statement of Warner's transac tions with Ward showed when War ner had invested a large sum in the. firm and what payments had been made in return. In one case Warner agreed to invest $300,000, for which he was to receive in return $336,000 at the end of thirty days. He raised the $300,000 by contributions from fourteen friends, promising them two oer cent a month. He then drew up fourteen contract dus bills, in which ofoforl thft amount, includincf thfi two per cent interest, to which each subscriber would be entitled at the end of the montn. inese aue ouis were signed by Ward with the signas ture of Grant and Ward and given to the subscribers. w ' Under this system Warner's profits were extremely large. W He : received twenty per cent a month on money for which he paid two per cent. He tent, rein vesting the money and in creasing it until the sum invested was over $1,000,000. At times when the contract due bills became due he reinvested only a part of them and received Ward's checks in payment of the balance due These checks the Marine Bank and raDged from $10,000 to $100,000 each. Some of Warner's friends subscribed as much as $100,000 each time. It is said that the names of the various subscribers will be made known.

London special says: Count ToU istoithe celebrated Russian states man and poet, who has kept Nihil-? ism at bay since the assassination of the late Emoeror, has been declared incurably insane and placed in a hiv natic asylum. Although the Count is one of the richest men in Russia he some time ago sudderly.' quitted St. Petersburg and retired to a re-' mote estate, where he passed his time chiefly in making boots ; and shoes; calling in as a teacher a young shoe maker who lived on the estate. There" he was visited by several f literary and social acquaintances, and to them he professed to have found y the real secret of hanDiness and moralitv: which, he said, consisted in manu al labor. Recent events leave no doubt that his ; singular retirement from the world.was due to the break ing up of his mental aberration is now undoubtedly declared as likely to be of a permanent character. IXairyingr in the Sontli. Dulted States Dairyman. ' , . . ' The new creamery at the Missis sippi Agricultural "and Mechanical College is now averaging over 100 pounds of butter per day. The quaN ity of the . butter - is said to! be nrsN class, and it meets with prompt sale at remunerative prices A good deal of it goes direct to the hotels on the gulf coast of this State and Alabama. Shipments are made weekly to Meri- aian, . modho, viCKsourg ana other southern cities. There has been no difficulty securing customers ; in fact, although in the dull season, when all the markets are generally ; overssup- plied with butter, the demand for the butter is greater than . the sunnlv.

The writer of '"Odds and Ends,' m the Omaha i$ee, says: "When I was in New. York a few days ago I paid a visit to Green wood Cemetery; which is probably the most beauti ful burial place in the world. Millions upon ) millions of dollars have been spent in beautifying it. It is a forest of "monuments. The gates to the cemetery cost $100,000 alone; The approaches to the cemetery are lined on either side with marble shops, and I venture to say that the aggregate of : monuments, in stock would be suf ficient to replace the entire number m the ; cemetery,-,--v While walking through the cemk tery, where J spent over half a day, I came upon a magnificent mausoleum of granite, having upon it the name of Thomas C.

The money that, is invested in Durant's mauso leum might be of great service to him at present and to his heirs after ward." Country Gentleman writes: .1 have planted more or less wal nuts every year for. the past ten years. I plane them as soon as ripe, and when the ground is soft enough to stamp them. in with my boot heel. I sharpen a stick four feet long, of sufficient size so that when thrust into the ground it leaves, a hole large enough to receive the walnut and hold it in its place. I stretch - twine where I want a row of trees. I get one man to go ahead with a sharp stick, thrusting it into the ground where a tree is to grow. Another man follows and drops a nut into each hole made with the stick, and stamps it in with his heel. : It must not be sunk more than one quarter or half an inch below the surf ace. This is the only way by which I could get straight rows. If the nucs are drop ped in a furrow, or on plowed ground, the tree will be four or six inches on one side or the other of a straight line. They will freeze if planted in the fallbut this is what I' want, for unless they do freeze some of them will remain dormant two or even three years. If planted as I direct. and the nuts are sound, not ten out oi a tnousana win ran co grow. .a.er walnuts get dry it is not safe to plant them.

New York Evening Post. 1 " " ' V-; The manu f acturing States are be" coming alarmed at the growth of il literacy, and with good reason. Chil dren are allowed to grow up m igno rence, through the carelessness or cupidity of their parents, who either do not see the use of education, or value more highly the pittance which boys and girls, who ought ; to be in school, can earn in the mill. The New Jersey Legislature was so much impressed by this danger, that it passed a compulsory education law, which requires every child between the 8g3s of 7 and 15 to attend T some public or private school for a stated period each year; The real difficulty aoout the enforcement or sucn a statater Rhode Island has a truant law on the statu fcft book, but a Provi denee paper says that it is practically a dead letter.

The Century.'. The potato, originally a . South American plant, was introduced to Virginia by Sr John Harvey in 1629, tnougn : it was unknown in some countries of : England a hundred and hi ty years later. . In Fehnsylvania, potatoes are mentioned, very soon after the advent of the Quakers; they were not among JNew York products in 1695, but in 1775 we are told of eleven thousand bushels: grown on one - si&teen-acre patch in this pro vince. Jrotatoes were served, per- haps as an exotic rarity, at a Har vard installation, dinner in 1707; but the plant was only brought into cult ure in New Jfingland at the arrival of the Presbyterian immigrants from Ireland in 1818. Five bushels were accounted a large crop of potatoes for a Connecticut farmer; for it was neia mat it a man ate tneni every day he could not live beyond seven years. Butler, the Cattle Baron.
