DR. MADDOX'3 ADDRESS.
At the June meeting of the Washington
Co., Md., Agricultdtal Ctab, Dr. Thos.
Maddox, well known at one of the best
farmers of the State, b his practical pa
per farnished U the ' correspondence to
the Awterican Farmer, delivered an ad
dress to the Club, which at its request has
been published. We copy for the benefit
of our readers, such portions of it as are
not of a merely local character.
The Dr. after a beautiful exordium as
to the necessity of labor entailed upon
their descendants from the fall of our first
parents in the Garden of Eden, thus pro
ceeded :
"Since the fall of Adam, man mast
work, be cannot live without work. 'In
the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread.'
'The thorns and thistles' must be destroy
ed by labor before the earth will yield her
increase. Labor is honorable, contribu
ting to the health and happiness of the
human tamily, and is essential to the we
tare oi tne state, success in larmiog
requires daily Judicious, persevering, trust
latar; otherwise, good seed, sown in good
soil, may be choked by 'the thorns and
thistles.'

lu E:itfltnd, lr4 iJi in a cMi:ury ago,
f!t- crop of wheat was !ixt-m millions ot
bufli Is pvr year. The crop has increas
ed to one hundred millions of LuhIi !..
TIi if enorm iiiii increase is at tributahle to
iy;euiatic attention to all the lequire
iuoii of good farming, to the skill and
XuctueiM with which all farm operations
an performed, to the carelul selection of
the liit varieiiea A seed, and to the large
qnaniitiee of barnyard manure annually
made and properly used bv her farmers.
In 1837. the first year foreign bones came
into utse, as a fertilizer, lhe imported bones
were valued at the custom house at $1,
500,000,; since which lime, it is estimated
that the English people have paid for imt
parted bones alone $150,000,000. Since
1841, upwards of .500,000 tons of guano
have been used. In 1844, a merchant of
Cincinnati told me, 'Yoa cannot see a bone
in the streets of the city. All the bones
from the slaughter houses, from the hotels
and streets are collected for. exportation
sent to England to enable her farmers to
make wheat and turnips : that all the
bones of the soldiers from the battle-field
of Waterloo had been collected and taken
to England for the same purpose. The
English farmer cannot malt wheat aud
where there is no sulphuric aeid in soils,
we cannot raise clover.' By the applica
tion of bones we get phosphoric arid j by
the application of plaster we famish sul
phone acid to the soil.
Fifty years ago. John 8imm. liviar
near the Pataxeot. river, St. Mary's coun
ty, Maryland, raised one hood red aad
twenty-eight and one-quarter bnshels of
corn toi the acre. A larger qaant'ty has
been raised in this county. . We do not
raise new more tban thirty bushels ot corn
per acre. Why 7 1 he truth is, our land
is too poor to yield large crops of corn or
wheal, or bay, or potatoes, or cabbage.
We hare taken more from the soil than
we havf restored to it. Our system of
farming has been exhausting. We mast
cbangeionr plains.
We bear much talk about the 'flr' in
heat, I the 'red weevil tha 'ruat,' the
'scab,' &e. The truth U. that poor farm-
log makes poor land, and poor land keeps
tne people poor. Let our farmers pat
their farms in good condition and farm
them properly, and we shall have good
average crops. 1 he 'fly,' the 'red weevil,'
the 'rust,' and the 'scab,' exert the most
injurious influence on thin, exhausted,
poorly farmed fields.
Well farmed, Washington eounty will
contribute five times as much to the com
fort and sustenance of the human family
as it docs now.
Men lay up money when they expend
it in useful and pertuanenl farm improve
ments ; in increasing the fertility of their
sou; in applying improved methods of
taviug time and labor ; and money so in
vested usually yields a good per cent, in
interest.
If we want pretty gardens, rerdant
meadows, fruitful orchards and productive
nelds, our people must go to work. Wash
ingtoo county has immense natural ad
vantages. Our grand and beautiful moan
tains on the east and on the west, shield
us from the seveie and piercing north
winds. The air we breathe is pure, re
freshing, invigorating. We want neither
ditches nor dykes. We have a canal,
railroads and turnpikes. But to make
our county a modern Garden of Eden a
paradise on earth we want sensible, de
cent, prudent, energetic, industrious, work
ing people ; men who are not afraid to
improve our sou, to test its capacity, and
to develop our immense natural ad van
tages." i

time of the murder, was fully seventy
years of age. He jiad never been mar
ried during his long: life, until the Summer
of 1871 he made, ac, the fashionable water
ing place of Wildbad, the acquaintance
of Alvioa Weil, the only daughter of a
widow la very bumble circumstances.
The young girl made so deep an impres
sion upon the heart of the old Baron that
he offered his hand to her, which nhe ac
cepted with some hesitation, but finally,
giving way to the; importunities of her
motuer, who was dazxled by the wealth
and aristocratic position of Mr. von Gil-
mann, they were married in the t all of
1871, and lived apparently in serene
happiness at the husband's chateau. The
x'oung wife was greatly pleased at the
lavish liberality with which the Baron
treated her, and carefully avoided given
him any cause for jealousy. His acquain
tances, who knew him as a proud, irascible
man, were surprised: at the change which
his temper had undergone since his mar
riage. For since then he was all gentle
ness, and he never gave way any more to
bursts of passiou. to which he bad former
ly been subject.
In the Winter of 1872 Baron von Gil
mann, and his wife frequently visited the
Freyberg Theatre, ; and in irresistiable
mania for the stage'soddenly seised the
young Baroness. She asked her husband
if he bad any objectjon to her becoming
an actress, and, whee told she could not,
she flew into a violent passion, and de
clared with streaming eyes that the would
commit suicide if not! permitted to become
an actress. Violent: scenes heneeforth
repeatedly took plaee.
The Baron was inflexible, and his stage-
struck wife finally promised not to annoy

conceived the idea of gratifying her irre
sistible whim, even if it should lead to a
seperation from her husband. She wrote
to Herr Baurenfeld, manager of the Ger
man theatre at Strasbiirg, a letter, in which
she asked his advice as to her project of
roing on the stage. She sent him her
photograpn, and intormed him also that she
had expensive jewelry and fine dresses
enough to appear in good style upon the
stage. B-iurenfeld wfote ber a very sen
sible reply.
Madame, jewelry and fine dresses do
not make an actress. Is order to become
one you must have talut and preservance,

appearance would inevitable fail. If you

In England, the farms have been limed
in the past thirty years three or four or J
five times. In Lancaster and Frankliu
counties, Pennsylvania, many farmers
have limed their farms, some of them more
than once. The effect of lime continues
from ten to twenty years. The great

Clover is a valuable fertiliser; its long,

too close, d warts its growth, and in this
way clover may be awed without impart

everything ought to be placed in the barn

are separate yards. Vegetable matter
ought to be animal ixed in the barn-yard.

The alleged murders by the Bender
family in Kansas, and especially that of
Dr. York, a brother of the Kansas State
Senator York, will be remembered as well
as the mysterious escape of the entire family
from the utmost vigilance of the dectec
lives. A dispatch from Salt Lake City
to the New York World says :
"The Sheriff of Utah c nnly - has just
discovered a bag near Provo who fully
answers to the description of Katie Bender.
She has the appearance as of person who
had associated rather with wild animals
tban human beings, and for years instead
of months. Her sufferings mast have
been sueb as none but the toughest kind
of constitution could end are. She is uu
known to the people of Provo, to which

search of food The Sheriff arrested her
as Katie Bender. She claimed, in reply
to questions, to be from Montana, and that
she is a Roman Catholic, who has adopt
ed the privations of savage life as the best
means of expiating her sins."
'Yes," ha cried, "you have disgraced my
honorable name you 'shall die and I
will not survive the disgrace, either."
He then fired three shot into his wife's
breast, and then blew out his brains.
