deepens it, mellows it, gets the .different
parts mixed, disintegrates the sod and

manttnal elements every time the pro
cess is repeated This would be true
even were there no vegetable matter in
corporate with It, but when there: is a
heavy ooat of vegetation and the plow
ins; is done at this Season the benefits
are ereat-almost incomparable, The
benefits of Course vary with the kind o
soil. Clayey land derives the greatest
help from frequent plowing. If it could
be, clay. land should be plowed in late
spring, or 'early summer, and again in
autumn, in oraer to getaii tne vegeianie
matter possible added to it. A poor
field may be enriched in a short time by
notning else tnan repeated piowipgs;
say, as: often as : the vegetation becomes
large enough to: plow under, u is ensap;
too. j Much of the land that has been in
cuitiyaon this yeaf ought to be broken
up this tall. As sopn as the corn stops
drawing the land the grass beginl : to
grow, and by this tline there is a pretty
good coat of it, no doubt, on most farms.
Turn: it in with the, plow and' plant the
same ground next spring, and you 'will
be' a&tohished it the improvement it will
show. 7 Don't withhold the plow at this
season.- ifou can afford to pay a good

: THE BLAIH BILL.
OBI
Mm Spata mt tl Sooth's firas Zm) for
; Educational Ad vaaeeaaeaU
Washinotqh, Feb. 19-tSxnatx. Mr.
Manderson offered a resolution direct
ing the secretaries of state and war to
inquire, and report to the Senate the
facts surrounding the killing of Capt.
Emmet Crawford,. United States army,
said to have been slain on or about Jan
uary 10, 1886, by (Mexican troops, and
to report; what steps were being taken
for punishment by the Mexican govern
ment of those guilty Of the alleged
outrage. . ; Also,, 'whether reparation
and indemnity 1 ; should not be
made to those who i suffered: and
ample : explanation and apology to
the United Mates for the apparently
gross itsUlt. In offering the resolution
Mr. Manderson said it was due to the
United States not less than to the rela
tives of the deceased that inquiry should
be made as to the slaying of Capt. Craw
ford. Mr. Manderson read the official
report of Lieut. Maus, It S. A , on the
subject, and maintained if the facts were
therein correctly Bet forth, they consti
tuted a strong and I severe reflection on
the Mexican troops.
Ihe resolution, with Mr. Manderson s
assent, was referred to the committee on
foreign relations. ; j !
Amoncr the bills in trod need and in.
Eropriateiy referred was one by Mr.
Idmunda relative to the eight-hour law.
nr J .t. i -i . . ; . .
ne saia ute Dui reiatea to letter-carriers,
hours of. labor. : Those hours seemed
to.be really in excess of what human
nature could endure.
On motion of Mr. Eustis the resolu
tion of inquiry heretofore offered by him
relating to tne n ew Ur leans sub-treasury
and its treatment of the silver dollar was
taken from the calendar, Mr. Teller's
amendment was agreed to, extending the
: . 1 .... . ?, -
inquiry mw tne causes pi tne defalca
tion alleged to have occurred in the
New Orleans sub-treasury in connection
with Ihe handling of silver dollars. The
Eustis resolution, thus! amended, was
agreed to., .
Ihe educational bill was placed be
fore the Senate and Mr. Evarts took the
floor in its advocacy. After paying a
glowing tribute . to the philanthropy
and foresight of Mr. Peabody in estab
lishing the well known "educational
fund'' for the South, Mr. Evarts said
that in his connection with the adminis
tration'; of that fund he saw the most en
couraging manifestations of hunger and
tnirst ior Knowledge on the part of the
ignorant j classes in the South and the
praiseworthy zeal on the part of the in
telligent classes of the South that edu
cation . should : become eeneral. Mr.
Evarts had no misgivings as to the
faithful application of the fund provided
for by the bill under consideration. He
thought objections made to the measure
on constitutional grounds were based on
a narrow interpretation of the constitu
tion. :i; f . I '
The debate was continued by Messrs.
Morgan,! Ingalls, Wilson, (Maryland)
Riddleberger, Hoar and Harris. The
debate then closed for the day.
Mr. Edmunds,1 from the committee on
the judiciary, reported: 'favorably bills
to remote the political disabilities uf
Alexander K. Stewart, of Mississippi;
Thomas' L. Bosser, of Virginia, and
Kdward . O. W.; BuUer, of Missouri.
The bills were at ohce passed,' Mr.
Edmunds remarking that , one of
the parties was an aged gentleman,
who desired before leaving this world to
be at peace with; the United states. Mr.
xJecx said he did not know of any smaller
business for the judiciary committee
than tot be peddling out removals of
aiBauiuiieB m in is way. mr. aamaaai
replied that all that the United States
asked of anv person i before relieving
him of the penalty imposed on him by
the constitution' for violating his oath
and deserting the constitution that he
had sworn to support land making war
against the United States, was ; that he
should ; present . a respectful . - petition
Showing that he was ready to give up
fighting the United States and to pay the
aeou ne owea ior moneys receivea in
his official character.: U. the Senator
from Kentucky hought that to be
' 'peddling out' the Removals referred to
he was entitled to his opinion. Mr
Beck replied that twelve vears asro the
T 7 7 sf
House of Representatives had passed a
bill removing all disabilities, and before
that time the Senate had done so. It did
not happen7 that: both: houses had done
it at the same session.; He insisted upon
characterizing ; the present mode as
"peddline out. f but' supposed that in
the present condition of the Senate noth
ing better could be expected.
At 5.15 the Senate: went into execu
tive session, and 5.40 p. m. adjourned
until Tuesday next. ;
H B0U8C.
Mri. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, renewed
his request tto have printed in the; Re
cord a review of the testimony in the
Fitz John Porter case prepared by judge
advocate Holt.;
Mr. BraggV"of Wisconsin, who; had
previously objected, said that as the
battle was over he was in favor of gen
eral amnesty and would make no objec
tion. The request was granted.
Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, asked
leave' to have printed the reviow of
judge advocate Holt's review, but Mr.

The House went into-oommitteeof the
whole on the private calendar. To the
first bill oh the calendar Mr. Scott, of
Pennsylvania,! offered a verbal amend
ment and proceeded to deliver a speech
on the silver question. He prefaced
his Speech by expressing his regret that
gentlemen representing nis own political
faith had seen! proper to anticipate their
party opponents in their oritioismi of
the first Democratic) President and Bee
retary of the treasury who had occupied
those positions in the past twenty-five
years. For reasons; which he elaborated
at considerable length, he favored bi
metal ism as the blest policy for tbs
United States to adhere to at this time,
and neither gold nor silver mono-metal-ism,
provided the further coinage of the
standard silver dollar could be regu
lated by the requirements of trade and
the expressed will of the people, and not
through the operations of an arbitrary
law.' Mr. Geddes, of Ohio, protested
against the time for j private bills being
consumed in the discussion of the silver
question He opposed the amendment of
fered by Mr. Scott as a text for his speech
Mr. Geddes then proceeded to speak
upon the opposite side of the silver
question from Mr. Scott, notwithstand
ing the efforts of Several members to
confine the discussion to the bill befotei
the House. When Mr-. Geddessf had
concluded the committee rose and the
House nassed a dozen private bills.
Un motion of Mr. liiiiumond, of
Georgia, it was ordered that when the
House adjourn today it be to meet
Tuesday next. i

How Toi-k Cotton Fatarw.
Niw York, Feb. 19. C. L. Green &
Co., in their report on cotton futures
today, say: A confirmation of a heavy
interior movement, with absolutely noth
ing encouraging from abroad, have
simply increased the weight of offerings
and the movement shows another gen
eral ami decided break. Everybody
appeared to be selling today, including
some of the "bulls" who have been
persistently "bearing'' the market down,
and the main idea was evidently to spill
the load as closely j as possible without
creating a greater demoralization. : The
average decline was about ten points,
with a small reaction at the close, ma
nipulated by the "bears as a vantage
ground for the renewal of an attack.

the Standard
Lacrosse, Wis., Feb. 19. Teller
Henderson, , of the LaCrosse national
bank, has discovered a counterfeit silver
dollar that is pronounced by all bank
Seople in this city: absolutely the most
angerous ever seen. It is the Standard
silver dollar of 1881. The outside is
silver, and the die in every substantial
particular as clear as the original. It
stands all microscopical tests. The only
possible means of detection is by the
weight, it being exactly 47 grains short
of tne standard, and estimated at about
43 grains short of the average.

Sermon,
To all the young that are coming into
this church I sav be voune. be eav. be
. . .
hopeful, be mirthful. If God has given
you a sparkling disposition, thank God
and educate it. While it is not the end
of vour life to have the joy that comes
from these qualities, it is the privilege
of your life to perform all your duties
under its influence; and they can be per
formed in no other way so well. The
world needs just such a development of
Christianity. The world is full of sor
row ; it needs cheer. it is fun ot de
spondency ; it needs hope. It is full of
cowardice j it heeds courage. It travails
in pain : it wants a healthful atmos
phere, sweet and balmy and radiant. It
wants a singing i Christianity. It wants
the messenger ; of Christ to be a light
bearer, and no map has a right to make
himself a dark: lantern to go home and
open the light to himself and family
alone. They that carry a burdensome,
woe-smitten face dishonor God. It is
contrary to His sayings. It is Baying
substantially to the world that all hope,
all the promise of the divine presence,
all the love which - is poured like an at
mosphere around about us every day
from the bosom of J esus Christ, is false
and wrong. The man that carries a
doubting, wearied saddened face mis
interprets the religion of Christ.

The Wilmington Review gives an ac- '
count of a sensational occurrence there
at 5 o'clock Monday morning. People :
residing in the neighborhood of Market
and South Second street were startled
from their slumbers by a terrible ex
plosion, followed almost immediately by
the appalling cry of 'Fire! " jl Store Np.
11,; South Second street, occupied by
H. P. Morgan & Co., was in flames and
almost a complete wreck from n ex
plosion of either gunpowder or kerosene.
The fire department was promptly On
hand and the flames were quickly ex
tinguished. The fire was manifestly the
work of an incendiary, and had been starts
ed at the front wnere the explosion toki
place, the force of which caused a ' mi ll
of the building to curve outward, and'
at the same time the rear; wall was
thrown down and the articles in tl e
store were thrown into utter? confusion.
It also threw down a portion' of a parti
tion wall which divided the premises
from the millinery establishment of Mrs,
E. M. St rock. A fragment of this
wall, in falling, struck Mrs. Peterson; a
sister of A'r. Strock, upon j the head,
but her injuries are slight. - Mrs Strock
was awake a few moments before the ex
plosion and finding that Morgan's premi
ses were on lire, had aroused ber sisier
and the latter was jost in the act of aris
ing when the crash came. Mr." Godfrey
Hart, who occupies the rooms immdi
ately over Morgan's . store, was also
aroused and had run down into the
street to see what was the matter when
the explosion occurred and was1 thrown a
"considerable distance and considerably,
but not seriously, injured. Many of the
windows in the stores in the; block were
broken, and the sidewalks and street: in
the vicinity were strewn with fragments
of glass. The greatest sufferer was Mrs.
Strock, whose stock of goods was ser
iouly injured, principally by water. She
had no insurance. Morgan, the pro
prietor, has disappeared. It is said that
be. left hero a night or two- ago for
Kenansville, for the alleged purpose of
visiting his brother, who it is said had
shot himself in the foot, but np to this
time
his actual whereabouts is un
known, i 'j - j.
