The ulcerative process in the anterior palate has since consul tation extended to the adjoining side of the tongne, and the bridle of the tissue bounding the perforation of the anterior palate internally gave way on Wednesday. During Thursday the patient was in a reasonably comforta ble state. His temperature was nor mal and his pulse regular, hut he was suffering somewhat from the effects of insomnia. - His digestion is good and semi-solid food is taken easily and with a reasonable relish. He suffers no pain. In the face of all these gen eral symptoms the local difficulty has markedly increased and the parts in the vicinity ot the ulcerations arc be coming more infiltrated.” OBOiriMO TIRED OF THE STAGE. Edwin Booth'* Aversion to the Footlights and Resolutl >n to Withdraw Boston, March 14.—One of the most singular aspects of Mr. Edwin Booth’s recent life is the growing dis taste be has felt for acting, and indeed, for everything connected with the stage. It is with the greatest effort that he forces himself to go through with a performance. When it is over he is Infinitely relieved, and as the time approaches to act again he views it with something akin to horror. And so every year he tins been cutting his season shorter. These singular idiosyncrasies have now culminated in a determination on his part to leave the stage for good and nil. This decision he has commu nicated to only a few private friends, hot particularly desired that they should not repeat it. They endeav ored to dissuade him from the step, representing to him that the very ex ertion of acting was one of the surest safeguards of his health. But these arguments have had no effect on him irnatevcr. He replied that with rest and solitude onl\ can ho enjoy any thing approaching peace of mind. He is amply endowed with fortune—more than lie can ever spend—and why look farther? His contradiction of these facts really means nothing at all. In spite of what he says for publication, hi* present determination now is to only appear on the stage one season more. His engitgemeut with Mr. li. M. Field, of Boston, only extends a week or two further this year. But ho has already pledged himself to that gentleman to accept another engage ment for the following season. DISAPPOINTED MU McDOXAl.U. He Thinks the Vice-President Didn't Work Very Herd for Him. Inpianapoms, Mutch 11.—A signifi cant Interview is published witli Mi McDonald, plainly indicating that he is not on cordial relations with Mr. Hendricks, as 1ms been asserted so vehemently by Democratic “authori ties,” Mr.' McDonald says: “I am profoundly grateful to ray friends, es pecially to my lute associates in Con gress and the Democratic party of IndiffThi, for the oarnestnek* with Which they nave pressed my name for 3%* place in the Cabinet, and if it had been tendered, my acceptance would have been solely on their account, so as not to disappoint them, and against my own inclination tuid iiiturcat.” “It has been r«Mnted!v*tated by-the Dress that Mri. Hendrick* has not favored your apliointraont. Have anv comments to nuke upon this? 1 ‘‘Nothing that ha* heretofore up- irod on the subject, pro or con, has isen either uttered or inspired by me, and all that I have to say is that from the best information I have Mr. Hen dricks bps said nothing in my favor though possibly he said nothing against me. In tills respect Jiis course has differed from that oflwfery other lead ing Democrat of Indiana,'so far as I know” “What do you think of President Cleveland’s inaugural address?” “I am vory much pleased with it. It was modest and brief, but lull of earn est words uttered by one who seemed fally conscious of the weighty respon- tlbilities ho was assuming, and deter mined to devote his best energies to their faithful discharge.” Mr. McDonald also spoke favorably of the members of the Cabinet, biit thought their geographical distribution might be open to criticism. 7^_- .'r-1 -L" ■. I | dottr tod? as follows lit the New IS * Baleigh, •a*ai Tot . *t l» » ewart replies York T/mes: ~ There are, be says, three advantages -'first, the mechanical effects upon the soil; second, the addition of a certain quantity of fertilizing putter; and third, the 'chemical effects upon the soil. * Just now it is very important to con sider cacii of these very closely, because, there is a popular opinion prevalent tiiat the soil is actually improved by cutting anti removing this second growth instead of plowing it under. This belief ha* been taught by agricul tural chemists and by writers upon agriculture, and it has been widely adopted on the strengh of the author ity. But there are really no facts iven to support the prevalent belief u the effects of clover upon the aoil, while common sense and reason are opposed to it. This Will appear as the three points above mentioned arc made clear. First. There are some certain me- .chnuical effects produced npou the •oil by the plowing-in of a clover sod, mid the*.e effects are greater in propor tion to the bulk of the vegetable matter turned under. A quantity of greet) clover which would make a' ton of hay is equal to four tons of the grceii matter. The roots and stubble of such a growth of clover will amount to an equal hulk of four tons more. Six teen thousand pounds, or eight tons of green matter, is equivalent to 100 pounds upon every square rod of ground. When this is evenly distrib uted, as it is by plowing a growing crop under, in alternate layers of vege table matter, and four, five or six inches of soil, as the furrows may bo made, the soil is greatly improved in texture; a light, sandy loam is bound together and consolidated by this fibrous matter intermingled with it, and a heavy clay is lessened, opened, and made more porous. Either soil is far better prepared far its occupation by a mass of roots, and is better enabled to hold the moisture requisite for the growth of a crop. Second. A quantity of clover like that plowed in contributes to the soil a large amount of the most valuable fertilizing matter. The eight tons of clover leaves, stems and roots contain ubout 112 pounds of nitrogen, twenty- six pofinds of phosphoric acid, fifteen pounds of sulphuric acid, sixty pounds of carbonic acid, one hundred pounds of lime, sixtv-seven pounds of potash, and about sixty pounds of soda, mag nesia, chlorine, iron, etc. A ton of ordinary farm-manure contains nine pounds of nitrogen, fen pound* of potash, and four pouuddjof phosphoric acid. Therefore the eight tons of clover add to the soil as much nitro gen as twelve and one-half ton* of manure. There is a considerable balance in favor of the clover, the greater, as nitrogen is the most valua ble and costly of ail the needed ele ments of fertility, lint there is i deeper view to be taken*«of this can siderablc addition made to (lie fertility of the soil by the clover, and that is, it hud been procured from sources where no oilier crop could procure it, and that if from a great depth, com paratively, in the sub-soil. Clover is a deep rooted plant. It has a thick, fusiform tap-root, which penetrates to a great depth, and then sends out a multitude of feeders, which gather nutrimtnt from a much larger space and deptli of soil than any other plant. Furthermore, it lias the habit of pass ing through its roots and leaves an enormous quantity of water, eqnnl to 15,571 pounds per day for an acre, or in 100 days about 770 tons. This is seven time as much as is required or used by a wheat crop, whose roots occupy much less space and remain near the surface. * There is still another point to be noticed and which we must not omit. This is that while the clover plant draws up and transpires so large a quantity of water, yet the mineral matter held in solution and upon which the plant feeds is by no means proportionately largo. It b>, liiere- forc, able to exist and grow in poorer soil Ilian any other crop, and to subsist on mucli weaker food. It is as though an animal could live ami thrive and grow upon milk diluted tour times with water, and thus exist upon n very poor quality of food ; or as though it could increase and grow fat upon straw, eating and digesting four times as much for the same effect as another could do with the best hay aud meal. This is the most important point to know and consider, why cloycr is so beneficial to soils, and why a farmer, by plowing in a clover 8<yl, can grow a good crop of corn aud another of oats, and still leave a remainder for the following small grain cron, or why after a clover $od plowed in, in the summer, lie can grow a very much larger crop of wheat than he could in anv other way. Those acids are set free and begin to act upon the hoil. And we may also in this connection take into account the considerable quantity of the deeper roots of the clover, which arc left in the soil to decay below the reach of the plow. The acids act upon the mineral water of the soil and decompose it. The carbonic acid lias the property of dissolving' in water and conferring upon it the ability to dissolve silica, lime, and other minerals, while sul phuric acid combines with jime and sets free phosphoric acid which may have been in combination with it Again, the porosity given to the soil by tbo mass of clover opens it to the admission of the air, anu in its-decav prodnees heat, and these influences greatly accelerate and intensify what ever chemical action may bo started by the decay of elover., In summing up the advantages which tqay bo derived from plowing in a clovei'-Bod^-and we may say, at the same time, a crop of clover grown for this purpose—the following are the chief point* to.be noted: 1. Clover, from it* habits of growth, may be produced upon soil* too poor for any other crop, because it gathers it* food from sources beyond the reach of&uy other crop. , ~ 2.

Timet has created a sensation by its publicafioft in regard to the will of ibe late David Dickson, of Hancock county. Mr. Dickson was seventy-five years if age st the lime of his death. He was the largest slave owner in Georgia before the war, having three hundred negroes of the best blooded stock.. When tbe war wiped out ail that class ef prop erty, Mr. Dickson achieved fame mid fortune by his cultivation of cotton, 4 amassing in fifteen years $500,OOP out of pure agricultural pursuit*. He had no children, and hit relations, who are among the best peopleof the State, were sure of being well remembered. The Timet has obtained tbe terms of the will, and says that it make* the following bequests:fl “Mrs. F. M.
