National RepubJicaxi. Jl rrmnar representative of ' tiie Republican r happened Monday night to fair Wprrta the Hon WilliftfiS A. onutnof. the Jialeigh (North Caxo lina Uistricty' and found him a very euto taming- agid, intellent. gentle man, "i tift 'ConTersaticm- naturaHy turned npon the late dramatic scene in the state, and General Mahone g present position and its effects upon the future politics of the South were freely discussed by the genial Korth Carolinian. What effect,' asked the Republi car , 'will Mr. Mahone s movement the Bourbon element in politics? Will there be a have on Southern break?' 'I can't speak for the Bourbons of other Southern btates, but for those of North Carolina I can say that the only eifect will be to intensify their hatred for Mahone and all of those who ; choose to think and act as he has done. The Bourbon, as he ex ists in North Carolina, can only be reformed by death. He is like the fool of i whom Solomon speaks, who, even though brayed in a mortar, would be none the less a fooL Give the Bourbon of North Carolina all of the offices, and permit him to dis pense the patronage of the general government, and he will be one of the nicest and pleasantest persons in the world; but he will not show anv sign ,of gratitude. He accepts this as hi? , right the inherited right to rule. ; 'Is there a Democrat in North Car olina who could carry the State as Mahone carried Virginia that is, by avowing himself a Liberal, or, in other words, an enemy to Bourbon- ism?' 'There is onlv one.I 'Whoiahe?'" 'Senator Matt Ransom.' 'Why do you think Ransom ccfald do this?' 'Because he is so well beloved all over the State that he could car ry off enough Democrats to carry the State for any ticket that he might head. Bat we don't need iuch a man. We've got Republicans f nough to carry the Old North State, without winking or blinking plain, honest, stalwart Republicans Gar field, Blaine, Grant and Conkling men, who, if properly encouraged and given a clear field and a fair fight, will make North Carolina as reliable a Republican State as any of those which cast their electoral votes for Garfield and Arthur." ' What do you mean by encourage nient?f T6 give every office from the lewest to the highest to Republicans alone, and to give to North Carolina her full share of the patronage of the government." 'Hasn t this been the poller of the administi ations which have gone be fore?": No, sir; not all of them. Mr. Hayes' Southern policy disorganized us as a party in North Carolina. Had it not been for this policy we "would have carried the State for Garfield. By adopting a policy which showed that .he thought that we were not as good as Democrats he discouraged the Republican, and caused many of them to desert the camp. They couldn't see any use of fighting when, their political enemies were sure to be rewarded with the honors and spoils of any event.' 'How do you like the policy of the present administration, as far as it has developed?' We haven t seen enough of it to judge, but we have every reason to believe that it will be a stalwart, straightforward one, and all that we desire.' Do you, as a Southern Republi can, think Mahone ougnt to be en couraged by the administration?' I certainly do. He has had a hard fight in the past, and will have a harder one in the future; and, therefore, it , should be the policy of all friends of freedom and fair play to hold up his hands, and in every legitimate way to give him and the true men who back him all the moral and material support that they can command.' 'How are you Republicans treated in North Carolina? Any social ostra cism or bull dozing?' .'None at all now." There are 60,000 white Republicans in the State, and they are the equals of the Democrats in wealth, intelligence and: social standing. So yon see, as a f matter of policy alone, they treat us well.' i-M 'How do they treat the black Re publicans?' 4The better class of white people treat them as well as they are treated anywhere, and the Democrats have been particularly sweet on them lately their evident intention being to fill the Democratic ranks, which have,, been depleted by white de serters, with black recruits. They love the darkev when he votes with them; otherwise not.' , He had been electioneering all the week, and was in a grumbling mood. 'See here, said he to his wife, we must have things arranged in this house so we shall know just where everything is kept' 'With all my heart,' she sweetly an swered; 'and let us begin with your, late hours, my love: I should dearly like to know where they are kept.'

Colonel Bid die was in command of .the-extreme left brigade of 'the 'Union army, which was opposed by JPettigrew'e brigade of North Carolinians. When the final Confederate advance was made, Pettigrew's I brigade was found to outflank and ! greatly outnum ber Colonel Biddle's command. . The contest which ensued was desperate and bloody. The left of Petugrew s line engaged the Nineteenth Indiana i m i m it ti i . 0 i and Twenty fourth Michigan,! of ; the old 'Iron Brigades which was in po sition on Biddle'sj right. The right of Pettigrew's brigade overlapping Biddle s left, advanced more rapidly than the rest of his hue, and, being unopposed, directed its fire by 1ef fc oblique upon Biddle s troops, who were standing up manfully against the heavy front' attack of Pettigrew's centre. This flank fire from Petti, grew's right caused the Union line to waver, seeing which Colonel Bid die seized the colors and gallantly dashed into the break. His. horse was at this moment shot under him and he fell, bruised and bleeding, to the ground. , I I I - i It may be interesting to your readers t to know the counterpart of this incident, and as my investiga tions embrace the movements of both armies I will give it, together with my sources I of : information. Several years agoT while conversing with General Scales, of North Caro lina, on the floor! of the House of Represeatatives at Washington, re garding the battty ofj Gettysburg, he remarked that one of, , his ,cql- leagues,; Captain Davis, was there, commanding a , Company in the Forty-seventh Norith Carolina Regi ment, and, if agreeable to me, he would present him, which he did. Captain Davis entered at once upon a warm discussion oi tne aetaus ot that historic event. J Finally he said: Now you can tell me something that I very much want to know, j At what part of the field was General Reynolds killed?' j 1 1 answered: jln the woods at your left, while engag ing Archei's brigade, in the morning at the very opening of the battle.' Are you sure,' said he, 'that he was not killed in front of 1 ettigrew s brigade' As sure as one can be who did not see the acti but depend upon others for his information.' X an swered. 'Thank jGrod!' exclaimed Captain Davis, 'I have always feared I was responsible! : for his death.' After a moment he added: 'What general, officer was killed on my front?' None,' saidjl. 'But,' he re plied, 'I saw him, colors in hand, dash into his disordered ranks to rally his troops, and, calling to Frank Escue, a sharpshooter of my com mand, I directed the shot and saw him fall, and I have always feared that in the heat and excitement of battle I had been the direct cause of the death of a gallant officer.' 'You can set your mind at rest upon that point,' I said I, for there was no gen eral officer killed in your front, but if you would like to see the man you thought dead, you can do so when you are in Philadelphia by calling on Colonel Chapman Biddle. I will add, that having alluded to this in cident in a lecture, it attracted the attention f Colonel Biddle, who wrote to me to put him in communi cation with Captain Davis, which re suited in several letters passing be tween them on the subject. I have the honor to be, very truly yours, John B. Bacheldee. Boston, Mass., March 14, 1881. . Language of Finger Sings. In case of a gentleman wishing to marry literally "in tne :f market with his hearthe wears a plain or chased gold ring upon his first fin ger of the left er right hand. I When success attends a suit, nd he is ac tually engaged, the ring passes to the fair the his third finger. If, however, gentleman desires to tell the ones that he not onlv is not "'in market," but that he does not design to marry at alL he wears the signet upon the little finger, and all the ladies may understand that be is out of their reach. With the fair eex the "laws of the ring" are : Plain or chased gold ring on the little fin ger of the right hand "not engaged," or, m plainer words, "ready for. pro posals sealed or otherwise. When engaged the ring passes to the third finger of the right hand. When married the third linger receives it. If the fair one proposes to ,j defy all siege to her heart, she places 'the ring on her first and fourth finger one on each like ' two . charms to keep away the tempter, This latter disposition of the ring is very rare.

All will find it neces sary to ' supplement their natural uomv-manuxea wicn iertuizers or v. s : 1 1 a j witbJ chemicals, f In answe to this question. 1 1 must say first, a good manure can only be made out of good materials amd good materials cost ewmething. 5 The receipts which are; hawked about the country for makmg 1 manure out of worthless materials are humbugs then. The; farmer aims to supply the four' creat elements of plant food. phosphorio acid, ammonia, - potash and; lime, all or in .part, according to the demands of his soil or the. crop. If he does not tret these already mixed for him in a fertilizer, he must bny the chemicals and mix them for himself, using at the same time, ail the home materials he has. The question is, in what I form can he buy these things cheapest . - The best and; cheapest sources f these. substances, now within .reach of our farmers, are, for available phosphoric acid dissolved bones and dissolved S. 0. 'phosphate, for ammonia sul phate of ammonia of potential am , moma in fish scraps, slaughter-house offaL &c.; for. potash muriate of potash (for fine tobacco sulphate of potash); for tune ground plaster. Where i dissolved bones or S. C. phosphate are used it is generally not necessary to buy sulphate of lime in addition, as these contain it Some . of the costly chemicals called ifor by formulas supplied farmers by the dealers arc compara tively unneeded. The money often put in sulphate of ' magnesia and sulphate 01 soda, for example, had better be put in more of the more valuable I ingredients. - I do not recommend buying nitrate of soda ordinarily now either. At present prices sulphate of ammonia affords nitrogen cheaperJ Nitrate of soda at 6 cts per ID. supphes mtrogen equiv alent to only li per cent. 01 am monia, while sulphate of ammonia at 51 cts. per lb. supplies 25 per cent. f ammonia . The nitrate has the further disadvantage too of being so very , soluble in water that it is in large part washed out Qf. the soil and thus lost to the plants.. Xawes and Gil bert ; established this for their clay oils at Rothamstead by careful ex periments. It must be much truer of our soils. Similarly I recommend muriate of potash (except fer fine tobacco) in preference to the sul phate. "High grade" sulphate of potash , at 2 cts, a pound contains only 1 about 17 per cent of potash, while the muriate at 3 cts per pound contains 50 per cent. Farmers should write to me and tell i me what ' material they have at their i disposal or can get and I will make up formulas' for them suited to the crops they want to cultivate. -1 have i ! recommended the following formulas frequently this season : FOB CORN.

None of the fowls were hurt in the melee. After the rat was killed the old rooster dropped him, and then walk ing j several times around ; the van quished foe, sagaciously examining him! out of one eye all the while, finally mounted the body, clapped his wings, gave three loud crowa, and ! walked off to keep his wives out j of mischief.
