There are fewer fishermen at a depth of 4.500 fa- fathoms, of 27, (hk) feet. This is u depth of about five and one-half miles. It takes a heavy sinker and u strong line to reach this enormous ocean depth. Uncle Sam is tho only littler in the world who insists on such deep sea fishing and measures depths, not by hundreds of feet, but by actual miles. He has a boat built specially for the purpose. This vessel, the United States Fish Commission steamer Albatross, comes into San Diego Harbor frequently, and is an object of rare interest to the landsman. The Albatross is strictly a scien tific fishing craft. She cost over 100,000, is 234 feet long, and of 1,074 tons displacement, with a brigantine rig. Her business is to follow ocean fish as they migrate from their suramtr to their winter habitat, and observe their manner of life. This work includes the collec tion of nsh, mud, and shells irom a depth of 27,000 feet to the surface. The tremendous scope of this work is hardly appreciable by minds not converant with the details of it. It involves not only tho exercise of a rare scientific talent, but also the exercise of masterly seamanship in carrying out the demands, of science in seen ring fish specimens. For in stance, the ingenuity of the scient ists and navigators have resorted to the employment of the electric light at great depths in order to attract heretofore unknown and otherwise unobtainable fish into the trawl which is let down from the ship's side. In this way small fish are usually canght. Sometimes, when the ele ctric light is neaf the surface of the ocean, large fish are attracted by the illumination. The light seems to make the big fish angry, Sharks, for instance, will dart at the light as if it were a deadlv toe. LOWEKIXG Til p LIGHT. The light is sometimes lowered 800 feet from the surface. At a depth of 70 feet the illumination be comes invisible. When the light is 20 or 30 feet down and hnge fish congregate about it their shadows are cast upward on the surface of tho sea, and from tho deck of the ship the scene is weird indeed. It is a veritable congress of monsters of the deep that sometimes gathers about what to them is a wonderful sight. An electric lighted submarine home is something novel even to a tough old shark. Occasionally a man-eater 6hark is curious enough tp "mon'kej" with this electric light and tries to swall ow it. It the electric current sup plying the light happens to be strong the curiosity of the meddling shark is soon satisfied. In fact, the fish is shqeked by the modern innovation. It des. The bodies of several such shocked fish have floated to the sur face. It has been noted that the effect of the electric light upon big fish has been such that as deadly enemies as thehark and the ' sword fish will swim up the light side by side, and bo amazed are they by the wond erful shining bulb that they appear to forget the deadly feud existing betweeu these piscatorial families, and they do not rush, at each other in mortal combat. Other fish that usually fight on sight lie down to gether, as it were, in this shining (resenoe, as might a lion and a amb. "Tlie operation of sounding, or of fishing, at a depth of tens of thous ands of feet, requires much skill in both tlie management of the ship and of tho sounding apparatus. In ordinary deep sea sounding a three eighths inch steel wire is used. The tension on this wire must be con stant, else it will kiuk, thus reduc ing the tensile strength 50 per cent. Ocean currents complicate deep sea exploration. A surface current is quickly de tected and guarded against, but when the rope or sounding line is swept under the bottom of the ship hy a submarine enrrent, with, per haps, thousands of fathoms of line out, it requires great skill and pati ence to clear the line without kink ing, and thereby possibly losing a portion of it. When a deep sea sounding is to be takeu tho siuker is lowered to the water's edge. A thermometer and water specimen cup are clamped onto the lino of wire. An officer takes his station beside the sounding machine. Seamen are at hand at tending to the guide pulleys. A fireman stands with his hand on the throttle of tho sounding engine, awaiting the officer's command. The record keeper takes his position be side the register, where he can read it readily. This register shows the number of fathoms of lino paid out. At the order "Let go!" the sinker shoots down into the ocean at a speed of ten to fifteen feet per second. The record keeper makes a note of every hundred fathoms of line paid out". The officer of the deck maneuvers the ship in a way that will keep the wire line vertical. The instant the sinker strikes the bottom of the sea, miles below the ship, the sonnding engine is stopped. The record keeper notes the number of turns indicated on the register, and the slack line is hove in by hand until it cleares the bottom. Then the sounding engine is reversed and the line is hauld aboard about as fast as it was paid ont. the sorxniNf; tp. The water specimen cup, or bot tle, which is let down on the sound ing line, is an important part of the equipment of deep sea explorers. The density of ocean water of dif ferent depths and in the different great ocean currents is a matter of moment to scientists in detcrming important submarine questions. To obtain a specimen of water at a dcDth. say of 18,000 feet, with all of its free eases, and brine it to the surface without allowing these gases to escape or the water to mingle with other water, was impossible until the invention of a metal water cup so arranged that when H aescenas into the briny deep for several miles or so tlie resistance oi tne water i ur ine the descent keens oiwn the valves of the cup. When the cup is stopped at tlie desired depth and is being pulled to the eurlace tlie resistance oi uic water sets in motion a small pro peller arranged on the upper side of the cup. This propeller forces shut certain valves of the hollow cup and I locks them, and thus the water is secured in what amounts to a her metically sealed metal bulb, which holds its contents intact until opened by the scientist in the laboratory, either on board the Albatross or al Washington, whither the water ; specimens arc sometimes sent fur a I more elaborate analysis than is. usu-! ally carried on shipboard. These water cups are strongly , built. They need to be in order to withstand the great pressure of tlie j water several miles below the Hur-S face. This pressure is hundreds of tons to the square inch. One of the curiosities on tlie Albatross is a, heavy glas globe tilled wit 1 1 water. This hollow glass ball was let down j to a great depth in the ocean until the water pressure became so great that the water was literally forced through the pores of the glass and the ball was thus filled. On account of this water pressure it is necessary to inclose the mercury bulbs of tho deep sea thermometer in a secondary glass case, which is also filled with mercury, and thus any possible pressnreon the mercury bulb which indicates the tempera ture is takeu up by the secondary or protective bulb. Without such a protection the readings of the thermometer would be very inaccurate, as the pressure on the temperature bulb would force tbe mercury beyond the point to which the temperature of the water sends it. F1VK MI IKS I NDKKTHK SE.v. The statement that there is no life below an ocean depth of three miles has been refuted by the exper ience of the Albatross, Sometimes, whon deep sea fish, accustomed to live in the high press ure found at great depths, find .their way upward to a depth where tho pressure is lessened ery materially, and then endeavcr to return to their deep homes, they cannot do so, bo cause their bladders under the lessened presure become so expanded that the nsh are unable to overoome the resistance when endeavoring to swim downward. Consequently the fish soon floats to the surface abso lutely helpless. FE0M f HE RATIONAL CAPITAL. Tkd 8tat.se of Yirglala Dare, of the its ptoress. O her A i-ktiek Metes of Iaterest. Washington I). C, June 1, '95, Special Correspondence. Your correspondent called on Miss Louise Lander, the deservedly fam ous sculptress to see the statue of Virginia Dare which the State of N. C. wishes to purchase. The statue is in white marble, life size and stands on a pedestal of colored raarbje in the bay window of Miss Lander's suite. of parlors at 1008,, 19th street this city. She was educated in Sal em, Mass. her native city and in Rome where she was the favorite pupil of Crawford, and the only woman he ever consented to teach. Her mother was a cousin of Sir Ben jamin West and Miss Lander pre serves in her exquisitely furnisued parlors some very pleasing specimens of Mrs. Lander's artistic skill. Miss Landers has been devoted to art. Any State will be fortunate to possess this exquisite statue. Miss Lander charges 15,000 for it and a movement is on foot in this city to purchase it for the few Congress ional Library. Several years ago, Opflgess desired to buy it, but there was a member from Ga. and another from Ala. who, had never been outside there respective states before, Kwho objected to the purchase because the statue was'nt dressed in 19th Century clothes. it is well worth the price charged for it. It was once bought by a wealthy citizen of N. Y. who paid Miss Lander $5,000 for it. Ivater, this New Yorker failed in business aud when his effects were sold Miss Lander, not wishing one of her fa vorite pieces of sculpture to fall into unappreciated hands repurchased the statuo herself. The statue is re markable for it gract, diguity and beauty, and the workmanship is exquisite. The position, the symme try of the frame and limbs, and the surroundings are all admirableaud in perfect keeping with the ideas em bodied. The Anglo-lndjan princess stands on the sea beach, the waves rippling at her feot, her hair is bound with eagles' feathers a fishing net of English manufacture, whjch united the civil with the barbaric life, is carved to the nicest degree of accuracy, and hastily gathered up, haugs in graceful folds around her; a necklace and armlets of wampum are her sole ornaments' and by fier side stands her pet bird, one of the sea beach cranes, (modelled from nature) fondly sheltering itself un der the folds of the net. There was much speculation as to who will succeed Mr. Greshani. The State Dept. officials hope it will be Assistant Secretary TJbl, who was appointed at tho request of Don Dickerson, one of the President's closest friends. Over a hundred pension clerks in the Pension Office will he dismissed at the end of the fiscal year, The overthrow of the Income Tax will cause a deficiency of many millions in the Treasury. The Presidential party returned from their sad mission to Chicago yesterday evening at five o'clock. There is much speculation as to who will succeed the late Secretary Gres hani. Messrs. Bayard and Whitney are prominently mentioned while some people think Assistant Secre tary Uhf, who is a close friend of Hon. Don Dickinson will be promot ed to the premiership of this Admin istration. The President's family will go at once to Grey Gables, the present hot wave making their departure to a cooler climate very desirable. A hundred people were sun struck here to-dav.

At thr I nveljhiK of the Coiife ilerale Monument in Chicago Whoso Errr tiou Is Hue Largely lo People of that City. 'The scene presented here to-dav is one that could not be witnessed in any country but our own, and for this reason, if no other- it possesses a significance worthy of the gravest j consideration. A few years ago brave: men from the North and from the' South stood facing each oilier in i hostile array, and the best blood of ; the country was poured out like; water on many a battlefield. Thous- j ands, hundreds of thousands, of our ! bravest sleep in bloody graves; men who gave their lives to prove the faith of their convictions, and now the North andthe South, standing by these graves wherever they may be, grasp hands across the bloody chasm and proudly claim Federal and Confederate soldiers as Ameri cans men who have given to the world as noble examples of cour age aud devotion to duty as can be enrolled on the page of history. NO ltl V A . 1 N 1 II i: WOIM.D. "Nor is this all that marks this occasion as exceptional and remark able, ami which would render it memorable in our annals for all time to come. No monument in in the world has such an honorable history as attaches to yonder one. That marks the graves of no victorious soldiers, but the followers of a lost came; it stands not on Southern soil, but on Northern; tho men who lest under its shadow oome from out far off Southland, and it ow es itts erection, not to the oomrades of these dead soldiers, but mainly to the generosity and mag nanimity of their former foes, the citizens of this great city. TltlBt'TK TO C11K A.0. "All honor then to tho bravo and liberal men of Chicago who have shown by their action that they regard the war as over, and that they can welcome as friends, on this solemn and auspicious oc casion, their former enemies. As long as this lofty column points to Heaven; as long as one stone of its foundation remains, future genera tions of Americans should look up on it with pride, not only as an honor to those who conceived its construction, but as a sileut though noble emblem of a restored union and, a, re-united peopJe-. In tho name of my comrades dead and living, and in my own name, I give grateful thanks to the brave men of Chicago, who have done honor to our dead here, not as Confederate soldiers, but as brave men who preferred imprisonment aud death rather than freedom obtained by a dishonorable sacrifice of the principles for which they were willing to die. THE 0000 1URIKD Tit EKE, "Of the 6.000 Confederates bur ied here, not one was an officer; all were privates, in no way respon sible for tho unhappy war which brought an Iliad of woes upon aur country. And yet these humble private soldiers, any one of whom could have gained freedom by tak ing the oath of allegiance to the Federal Government, preferred death to the sacrifice of their princi ples. Can any possible dishonor attach to the men of Chicago be cause they are willing; to recognize the courage and the devotion to duty of these dead Confederates!' Imagine, if you can, my friends, the despair, the sorrow, of these poor privates, lingering in prison and dying for their faith. They died here, in what they looked upon as a foreign and hostile land, far from the land of their birth, with no tender hand of mother or wife to soothe their entrauce into the dark valley of the shadow of death, and with all the memories of their far off homos and lo ing kindred to add the sharpest pangs to death itself. They were true men, ami sav, if you please, that they were mistaken; that I hey were wrong; no brave man on earth can fail to honor to do their courage and their steadfast adhoranco to what they conceived to bo their dutv. You, the hrave citizens of Chicago, in doing honor to their memory, honor yourselves and humanity. Nor will you blame us of the South, while appreciating gratefully your gener ous action in behalf of our dead comrades, for cherishing with pride and reverence their memory. You could not respect us were we to feel otherwise. Death places its seal on the actions of men, and it is after death that we "measure men." JIST IIONQH. "Are any Federal soldiers disloyal to the flag under which they fought because they join in decorating the graves of brave men whom they met in battle? Thousands of Federal soldiers rest under Southern skies in Southern graves, many in un known graves. And when on our Memorial day in the South the graves of our dead are decorated, gray-headed Confederate veterans and noble, devoted women strew flowers over the graves of Federal soldiers. If the humane, generous action of the people of this city, in doing honor to the memory of their old antagonists, is denounced as desecration, it would seem to follow that the decoration of Federal graves by "rebel" hands, should be open to the same criticism; but no denuncia tion of Southern people for daring to honor the memory of men who were once their enemies lias met my eyes. Such narrow and bigoted feelings as would prompt a discord ant note on occasions of this sort are rarely found among true men aud brave soldiers, a d I have often thought that if the two great cap tains who were engaged in that death grapple in Virginia had been left to settle the terms of peace, each supported by his faithful fol lowers, the country would have had a peace indeed, one honorable alike to victors and vanquished, and which would have prevented the evils brought about by the politic ians. "As it is, the South recognizes and houors the magnanimity of Gen. Grant towards our great chief, tien. Lee, and deplores as an unmitigated misfortune the assassination of Lin- J coin. I repeat emphatically that the untimely death of President Lin coln was regarded bj all thoughtful men of the South as one of the most serious evils which had befallen our section, and I venture to say that my Southern associates here present will sustain my assertion. THE LESSON. "Every Southern man felt that a call made upon him by his State was an imperative command, arid that his duty was to obey without hesita tion and at all hazards. When the North called on its citizens to rally to the old flag, they responded to the summons from a sense of dutv. as .lid ihe people of the South to the call made on ih.-m. Kta!" aliegiam e and Satc pride in each rasr was the mo.iir; cause which arrayed mil lions of men in arms in thiseountrv, and while the war that brousrht them out caused untold miserv to the country, it has taught a lesson to the nations if the earth that can defy the world, me, too, that it another lesson to America in arms ""It seems to should inculcate us, and that is, that the lime has come when the actors in that fear ful, fratricidal strife, and those whom they represent, should judge their former opponents as they should themselves be judged. This can be done without the sacrifice of principle on cither side, as the example of our mother country has shown us. York and Lam-aster, cavalier and roundhead, no longer war on each other; all are English men, proud of their country, ami the red rose and the white are em blems of peace and of tne glory of old England, ('an we not all be proud of the prowess of the Ameri can soldier!'"

San Kit an i si o, June 1. The Examiner publishes tins morning t he following from its correspond ent at Mazat Ian : 'The steamer San Juan has arived here with twenty-one passengers picked up on Tuesday from the wreck of the steamer Colima. From the passengers your correspondent has learned of the particulars of the dreadful disaster, which they sav happened on Monday at noon, when the Colima was about forty-eight miles out of Manzanillo and ten off shoic. All the rescued are badly bruised. They were all picked up from pieces of wreckage and rafts, with the ex ception of A. J. Sutherland, who had (dung to a boat after it had capsized five times and drowned all the others who attempted to escape from the wreck in her. All were alloat lashed by the fiercest gale of years and buffeted by the angry seas for about twenty-four hours. "The passengers were pretty badly stunned being pitched about, but rushed up on the deck in a panic. Here they met another danger. The gale tore parts of the deck load of lumber from its fastenings aud whirled the heavy planks about with appalling violence. Many were struck and maimed. At least one passenger was killed by having his head crushed by flying timbers. The survivors say that the officers of the steamer were brave and active in this crisis. "Capt. Taylor . stood upon tho bridge with Chief Officer Griffiths. At an order Griffiths ran forward to superintend the launching of life boat No. while Second Officer Lauglwrn was in charge of boat No. 3. Tho latter was successfully launched and filled with passengers. Then the ship went down aud Lin ghorn's boat was capsized. All in both boats arc supposed to have per ished. "Capt. Taylor went down with the vessel, and as the vessel sank he blew three blasts of the whistle as a good-bye signal. The engineers and firemen went down at their posts. Night Clerk Berry was in his room and went down with the vessel. Third officer Hanson was among the saved, lie sprang from the ship as it went down and succeeded in reaching a piece of wreckage. There he clung for twenty-four hours, washed and buffeted by the wavos. He saw men and women sink about him and was powerless to render aid. He saw naked and mangled bodiss lloating by, aud tho horror of it made him sick, Hanson says that as the steamer foundered her boilers burst. " YELLOW FEVER AT UVLTIM0RE. On a Vessel From Cuba So Rumors State The Story as is Told. Baltimore, Juno, ') The World this afternoon prints a sensational story of tho arrival of a steamship with vellow fever aboard, and an apparent lack of igilanec on the part of Government and State quar antine officers. The British Steamship Earnwell, Captain Rogers, from Colon via Santiago, arrived at city quarantine Saturday. The story, according to ouo of the seamen on the steamer, is as follows: John Dooley, a seamen, was taken sick while the vessel was at San tiago. He became worse, and was in his bunk during the whole voy age. While the vessel was coming up the bay, Saturday, two other seamen were attacked and took to their beds. Late in tho afternoon Capt. Kosrers ordered the men to dress and go on deck. The quar antine officers boarded tho vessel Saturday and a gave a clean bill of health. The steamer proceeded to her berth, and was docked yes terday. Dooley came ashore and went to a sailors' boarding house whore he died this evening with every symptom of yellow fever, in cluding the dreaded black vomit. The other two invalids applied to the British consuls this morning for admission to a hospital. They were refused aa order from the official and were ordered out of the office. They are now probably wandering about the citv. A coroner's inquest will be held to night in the Dooley case and health officers are busy looking for the two missing seamen. Dooley was a native of Ireland, but ship ped at Philadelphia a few months ago. A later dispatch says: Considera ble excitement was caused there by a report that Jno. Dooley, a seaman of the British steamship Earnwell, which arrived from Santiago yes terday, had died at his boarding house today from yellow fever. It was also said the two other sea men suffering with the disease had been discharged from the vessel and were prowling about the city seeking admission to a hospital. Dooley arrived at a sailor's boarding house'at 1C18 Thames street yester day afternoon. He was found dead in his room this morning. Coroner Cockrell ordered a pout mortem, and it was proven this afternoon that the man had died of Bright's disease. The report that two other seamen were suffering with yellow fever is believed to be un founded.

GUEEN MANURING DISCDSSED Addicts hy Dr. John W.Sander Delhertd at the Ljt State lair. True Understanding: of 1 he Subject Causes of Failure and Explanation 1 he Way to Make it a Success The Independence it Gives of all Olht-r Methods of Enriching Land. Considering the age of this sy.-tem of manuring, its great value and comparative inexpensh eiiess, it is a subject of wonder that it has not long ago been adopted universally by the farmers of every country. WHY NOT OKNEItAl.l.V 1'K A ' 1 K I ! I !' With tin- contrary facts before us. the question involuntarily presents itself to the mind. Why has green manuring made such slow progress in the past, and why is it today, even under the stemulons of the great advances made in agricultural chemistry, and the impetus of urrcs siti, I might add, so little employed bv the farmers of our country.-' I am aware that the destitute in formation on this subject from a lack of reading: tho prevailing igno rance of agricultural chemistry timong the farming classes, ami the great disinclination to leave oft" old methods for new ones, sill have their weight and influence with the far mers of every community, but T believe that much of tho slow prog ress green manuring has made has been largely due to the vague and indefiinite writings of agricul tural authors. I know from sad experience how often 1 was puzzled in my early farm-lifo to unravel the writings of those whom I assayed to follow on this line, and how often I was doomed to worso than disappoint ment in following the positive as sertions of those claiming exper perience and knowledge on the sub ject. So unsatisfactory has been the result of book-farming in the post that it has become almost a syno nym of failure among the farming laity. All can not be chemists, and for this reason agricultural writers should not take for granted the existence of universal information on a subject in which every degree of intelligence is engaged, and omit important details. WHAT IS (IRKHK MANUKINO? Suppose every farmer in Nort:. Carolina was setting before us this evening and was asked this question, how many correct answers do you suppose would be given? Yet upon their definition and ideas of this system dejiends their success or fail ore, their adoption or rejec'ion of the system. Fraught with the high est interest to the farmer, its entire ty with all its details should be so plain that ho that runneth might road. I have no doubt that the sad re sults of improper trials of green manuring have driven thousands from its employment who might otherwise to-day have found in the system the happiest innnovation on tho old laborious and expensive ways. I M I'ROI'EK TRIALS. A farmer from a neighboring county came to see me a few months ago, and in the course of conversa tion I called np green manuring and asked him if he had ever tried it, and if so what crop he used and at what stage of maturity he turned it under. He answered that he had tried cow peas and turned them un der when in bloom. Pausing here, I announced the result, and told him that this experiment had not favorably impressed him with green manuring. He confessed that it had not and that he had not tried it since. His failure was due not to any fault of the system, but to an improper trial. Not long ago I was visiting a very prosperous farmer in Onslow county and to my interrogation on the sub ject of green manuring he replied that he had tried it once in tho way of turning under crab grass that was grovviDg waist high on land that had been in oats that year. In the cen ter of this field he turned under one acre of the grass. He assured me that the damage to this acre was fully 2." per cent in the crop yield of next year. That farmer is not a votary of green manuring, yet to have succeeded with the test he made would have required the abro gation of the chemical laws of nature -a miracle. Thus I might give the names of scores of farmers who have been driven from the employment of a most valuable system of profita ble manuring by a misconception of its true character and the sad results of improper trials. THE TRIE DEFINITION. If I was asked to give a true defi nition of green manuring and the essential law3 that govern its suc cessful employment, I would answer, 1st. The usage of one crop to ma nure another. 2d. Never turn under any crop except at or near maturity." 3d. Never turn under any crop unless followed immediate ly by some other crop. EXPLANATION OF FAILURES. Why did the farmer wdio turned under his pea crop in its bloom get negative results ? Because in every 1000 pounds of vines he turned in over !)00 pounds of water to sour and damage the physical condition of his soil Why did the farmer who plowed under his crab grass turn away from green manuring as a failure and humbug? Because he turned under in midsummer, in the 1st place, a crop of inferior manur ial value, -.id, he failed to follw it immediately with another crop. In the 3d place he exposed the naked soil to the scorching rays of the sun to burn out and waste its organic elements, and lastly he prepared his land in a favorable condition for the exhaustive leeching of its nitrogen by the fall and winter rains. now to hk si ccessu'l. Then to be successful with this system of green manuring we must fix in in our minds the two invaria ble truths connected with the axioms of green manuring. I might say, which are these. 1st. No green crop should be turned under except at or near maturity, and 2d, no green crep should be turned under at all unless immediately followed by another green crop. These two truths fixed in our minds then more than half of our lesson has been learned, and we will here enter the pale of successful experimentalism in this line. CHOI'S SUITED FOR GREEN MANURING The next most important thing to know in connection with this system is the kind of crops to grow. My favorites are rye and cow pea the the pea.- a ha i". e-'. ci . 1 1 : I l: I e crop t hat mil I'V", an eel- more g row on there is 1 Vellollsl v u poii t he free nit roge is richer in ail t l.c eie food than the cow pe: equal in manurial a! stable manure, ton fo 11 ishes to the pea i 1 ' ti imcr. a mi M halo of t he air or ent of plant The vy is to the be.-t toii, and fur when t M rued ie' fertilizer. e t WO. when ii nei j i nil led as ovating pool' Tho coinbinatio properly manag' manurial agents lands ;uid eiiii' l l o r ii How i: i t . . : Ii in bushels with ) 1 lie rye fall, bmi' acre, and or harrow t hroiigh t b to the in id i shouiu COS! . t u rued It whit i t in two 11 U i ! e mav pel low in graze, i iring up d SJ ia.-t be I; sS the high. 1 i pel ' Aj rii when all sto. from 4 mil iKeH rye am (.11. in will cover just be- ti h Wee head grain ow 1 1 cast the land fore the support, . peas broai -lllficient to ids of COW ', and turn b; acr in ih. alt togel peas re; her.

TI'RNINi: I'NDKU. 'flie peas may by picked and the vines turned under to manure a croj) of oats, rye or wheat and when these are harvested the following spring, peas should follow upon their stubble to maintain the fer tility of tho land, and furnish another manuricd crop. If no crop is to follow, then let tho vines rot upon the land undisturbed, for with an estimated loss of 2- Jds of their nitrogen, still each ton will leave 20 lbs, nitrogen incorporated and fixed in a mass of humus that is of incalculable value to the phy sical condition of the land, and add to its fertility fully '!' per cent. But it is best to follow the pea crop with criminson clover, which will not only prevent, to a largo extont,tho leeching, of the land by the winter rains, but draw from the atmosphere and store up in the soil nitrogen for the spring crops. ii a ri n, com I'I.ktk, econom m 'a l. Now in conclusion I will say that there is no system comparable with green manuring as a rapid and economical means of renovating poor lands and enriching the good. It is pre-eminently the poor man's friend. It renders him imdepend cnt to stock to manure his land independent to commercial guanos and affords him a rapid a mex pensive means of improving his lands and increasing his crops. NO NEED TO HAVE 1'OOU LAND. No famer is excusable for having poor land under this system, and lie who allows one half of his land to lie idlo to grow tip in woods and briars, when by this system he might add 25 per cent to it fertility rid his land of insects, and save the hard work and expense of the usual shrubbing, raking and burning holds next to him the shorter arm of the lever of success. In this age of aggression, when the war of com petition is waged with relentless force, tho vocation which fails to act with consummate generalship and essays to roach the goal by the most practical and economical methods will bring its votaries to- the feet and servitude of wiser and better managed callings. GET OUT OF (H.li RUTS. The farmer can not thrive plod ding in the old ruts. The growing inferiority of labor the increasing poverty of his soil, the constant lowering of prices of all farm pro ducts will force him into other and more progressive methods and none are so important to him as a system of rapid and in expensive storage of plant food in the soil. None other offers such promising hopes of of lifting hint from tho drudgery and proverty of present farm life into a condition of comparative ease and arnuenoe. And there is no system of rapid and inexpensive storage of plant food in the soil within his reach, that is at all com parable to an intelligent system of green manuring. Ocean, N. C.

The X. V. Herald of Sunday says: "There is now little doubt that the much talked of and long delayed battle between James .1. Corbett and Robert Fit.simmons will take place in Dallas, Texas, in the Fall. 'Dan' Stewart, the repres entative of the syndicate of Texans w ho have put up the money to bring olT the match, arrived in this city yesterday, and showed me certified checks to the amount of 4I.0m the size of the purse for which l'it.simmons and Corbett are to fight. This money Mr. Stewart is prepared to post with the stakehold er, at a moment's notice, as a guar antee that the great pugilistic event will be decided in the Lone Star State, and that every contract made by him will be faithfully carried out. If the syndicate fails to bring the contest to a successfull conclusion it is willing to lose all. NO LAW TO PREVENT. According to Mr. Stewart, there is no law in the State of Texas that will in any way prevent a meeting betweeu Corbett and "Fitz'' there. The law touching on boxing contests is purely and simply the payment of an occupation tax. Air. Stewart told me, aud this he has paid. The amount was $-",0o0. TO FIGHT IN OCTOIIEU, '"The contest will be scheduled for decision in the second or fourth week in October. The exact date and other details we will leave to Mr. Vendig, of the Florida Athletic Club, under whose auspices the match will take place. The fair will be in progress during the time the battle takes place, and I think we will be able to show visitors that Dallas is an up to date and inter esting place.
