AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. ? japan Clover iI.cai>tMH-*a Striata.) I notice in your valuable papor u good many enquiries about Japan clover (Lcspcnc/.a striata). This plant was not (CCU lil this State about Ibo year 1810, near Charleston, S.O., tho BUOt)8 having been brought probably from Japan lil tea boxes. About tho year 18G0 it was discovered in this (Edgclield) county, where it is cover ing all old ?clds and land not cultivat ed, rooting out broom grass and other grasses, lt seems especially adapted to thc Southern States, growing with luxuriance on poor land and retaining vitality in thc severest droughts, lt is a very lino piont tor grazing, cattle kept tat all summer on it, and being a perennial, needs no resowing. lt grows with more luxuriance oil poor hind than any plant I ever saw. I have seen it growing nearly knee high in public roads, i. e., that portion where vehicles do not run. lt furnished a large supply of vegetable matter lo the soil and is thc best humus making plant in thc South. As l have said, it ix a good pastur age for stock, and I have just made some of thc finest hay out of it. I ever saw. All kinds ol'stock arc very fond of the hay and will cat it preference to most any other. In rich bottom laud it will grow two to two and one-half feet high. In curing thc hay, it should not have to much sun ; if it does, it will shed off too many ot thc leaves. There is no seed saved or sown in this State; all wc have to do is to ?pdt plowing thc land; thc second year thereafter it will be covered with tho clover.- O. ./''. Chcatham in *S'o. Live ?Stock Journal. Orchard UraWH. A Of this grass Prof. Lozcnby, director ""OT the Ohio experimental station, says: Tins certainly stands near thc hoad of thc list of valuable forage grasses. It is rapidly coming into favor, and is now quite widely disseminated through out thc State. It is found not only in pastures and meadows, but it is ad mirably adapted to partially shaded locations, such as orchards and along roadsides. This grass is indigenous to every country in Europe, and is found in Asia, Africa itful America. In the United States it was first culti vated in Virginia, ii 17?0, and was soon thereafter introduced into Eng land. It is quite aggressive and spreads rapidly, but is very sensitive to good or bad treat nient' It is specially adapted to a strong rich laud. It alfords pasturage early in spring and yields a great amount of aftermath. It often looks coarse, but in reality is tender, palatable and nutritious. Thc habit of growing in tufts or bunches may bc overcome by sowing thc seed more thickly, and by the usc of thc barrow in early spring. Some farmers sow it willi clover, and like it belter than timothy for tho pul pase. There arc few who have glvoil this grass a fair and impartial trial, who arc not well plescd with it. It should be cut when in blossom, or very soon after. Ki pe orchard grass makes very poor hay. On our trial plats the orchard grass has not been winter killed, and has invariably yielded a larger amount of carly foliage than any other variety. It begins to head about thc middle of May, and is in full bloom the second week in June. Height, forty inches. Weight of seed varies from twelve to fourteen pounds per bushel. Th? C lion Plant and Soil 1'ortlllty. Thc writer has believed for many years that thc cotton plant-or, in other words, the much abused '.cotton crop"-if properly managed, wa* a great renovator of thc soil-possibly tho best renovating crop in thc world - taking into consideration the fact that thc ,farm, after taking all his lint cotton tor market, still has left on his laud thc seed, stalks and leaves, and nearly everything made from thc soil is returned to thc soil. In giving what we take to bc sonic of the causes why certain plants enrich the land more than others, and why cotton more than thc grain crops, let us thc first take into consideration (lie effect produced on the soil by thc tree. Mont ion has been made of the forest tree fertilizing thc laud, and that its teaching should be followed by the _farmerr, to which wc agree, for as with thc plant, so also with the tree, some having tap roots and others only sur face roots; and those, in each case that have tap roots fertilize thc soil, and thc accumulations arc of great benefit to thc cultivated crop. Being a caso in point wc will take thc old field pine, though we are unable say why thc full grown pine trees of thc forest do not act in the same way ns thc old field pines in improving thc soil. But the old fields seem to bc an especial provision of Providence to reclaim old worn out and badly washed lands, which it docs to au extent that is un equaled by anything else known to our section of the country where the lund is left by itself to rest, nothing at all being done toil but just to bc lett alone for some twenty years more or less. These pines come on thc land ol themselves, and when left Dione I hoy take all over the laud, galled, gullied and all, and will grow and thrivo in thc forest, sandy or red clay gullies; stop washes, form new soil or enrich the old where t ere is any left to enrich. Tqc quotion is, where ?ind how deus it get its fertilizers while f;rowing on what seems to bo sterility tself? This tree appears to be a very gross feeder, and sends its roots far and deep into the sterile and bard earth ami takes up fertilizers that arc deep down, loo scant and loo insoluble for any cultivation to reach, take up or appropriate. But this tree does all this, penetrating deep and wide, taking up materials to form a rich soil from a depth of many feet, absorbing them in away to form leaves and burs, which is thrown down to rot and become a rich and fertile soil; this crude matter becoming soluble to feed cultivated crops, tho land often appearing as good, if not better, than when first cleared of tho original forest that might have been there for thousands of years. And so it is with Ibo plants, somo have tap roots, such as the clover, pears and cotton and somo others, all of which enrich the soil moro or less upon tho same principio as tho old lieh I pino, if not to the same oxtent. being somo of thom only annuals amt not such gross feeders; but thov all improve tho soil, going deeper than thc grain crops do. It is generally admit ted that tho clovers can ylufd good orops of hay and at the same lime be improving the soil ; why not the cotton plant, that returns all back to tho soil again, which is not tho caso with tito clover? And the caso is worse with the grain crops which feed from tho lam?. And lt is not possible that huso plants and trees that havo lap .oots, snell as tho poa, clover and cot on, us well us tho troo, draw heavily st ammonia from tho atmosphere through tt|O?r loaves, while their roots penetrate deep in search of mineral food. They seem moro independent of ammonia than the surfaco roots pluats. How is it possihic that a good com mercial fertilizer should impoverish tho land of 1(8 humus, or anything else that is valuable, and that, too, whoa used on crops where all is lett on tho hind that has been supplied hy tho fer tilizers and tho soil? Show us your crops made without the aid of fertil izers, and we will show you our crops made hy tho aid offortillzors. In what way is thc humus hoing exhausted when ono tests for the presold year, hut upon hinds that have rostcd two or three years, possibly it would not show so well hy a good deal. With three different 'brands of superphos phates, thc cotton with each is three or four times as hugo as whore there is none, and it is just row and row about. How SH this cotton of several times thc size of tho other lo make less vegetable matter and hunts than thc lither thht is so much smaller? Again is it not presumable that those who spend their money so freely for manures would appreciate thc home made as much as those who do not? J'J. in ?Southern Cultivator. COMING TO TIIKIIt 8ENSK8. Tho Colored People of Virginia Mcclure Their Independence ortho Kiidieni Polttl elane. The colored people of Virginia held a Stale Convention at Lynchburg last week. Thc following address was adopted amid groat enthusiasm: " To thc Colored People of ^ rirginia : Whereas wc, thc colored people of Virginia, believing as wo do that tho timo has come for US to call a halt In the unqualified support wo have given thc Republican party, do here, in con vention assembled, solemnly declare ourselves politically independent in ail matters which pertain to us as citizens of this Commonwealth. We have for twenty-five years adhered to our form er political associates with unparalelled fidelity, because in those dark days of Reconstruction thc Republican party proved that il was the only party to which the colored man of the South could consistently ally himself. To that end thc colored voters responded and raised to power and place men who grew wealthy while administer ing the laws of thc United States Gov ernment ill the Southern States. Wc feel ever grateful for what has been done, but now the (imo has como for us to think, act, vote and speak for ourselves, and especially SO since the Republicans have practically aban doned us in former campaigns and in all matters whore thc negro ought to have had recognition in proportion to voting strength and intelligence. We know, too, (nat many of our race have been murdered in the Southern Stales, hut thc causes which lcd to these sail occurrences which have spilled our blood and created tho hitter race an tagonism which now retards our pro gress, and makes it difficult to live in thc land of our birth, arc largely traceable to the mismanagement of Federal officeholders in our sections. "Tho foregoing reasons lead us t ) adopt s ich methods and to BO demean ourselves as to make friends of those whose interests are identical with our own. "Wc therefore appeal to thc colored people of our native State to look well to thc altered condition of affairs and in the future to make such political alliances as will most advance our interests educationally, financially and politically, We feel sure that there is throughout broad limits of the Commonwealth a general disposition on the part of the white people to accord us all our rights before the law and to meet us heartily in every ad vance wo make for thc upholding of our people It behooves us then to use our ballots in such manner that wc may drive out all discordant elements in Virginia, whether they he headed by natives or aliens to tho State. We also condemn the raising of thc raising of thc race issue by any class of mon who essay to lead the masses, because it can do nothing but provo detri mental le our cause and our interests. Wo therefore ask the hearty co opera tion of our people in Virginia to the success of our movement. Wc have cause to be thankful for the liberality of the present National Administration to our people in the South. We also believe our relations to the State debt arc such as to justify us in hoping that Virginia will he relieved from her present financial embarrassments by aid from the Fedora! Government, which will enable her better to provide for all tho material interests of her citizens and to bring about that, uni versal good feeling which ought lo exist between the two races." A Putting Girl. In Cincinnati a sixtccn-ycnr-ohl girl recently died after a fast of fifty-two days. She had been attacked by .some thing like paralysis which rendered it impossible for her to take nourishment. The human system cannot thrive with out good food and good ability to digest it. Weak and impaired diges tion is rectified by Brown's Irron Hit ters- bettor than any Other tonic in thc world. Mr. J. E, Frccburg, Pomeroy, Iowa, says: "I u^cd Brown's Iron Hitters for dyspepsia and poor appe tite; completely cured inc." It will cure j ou. * On tho War Path. A tuan named Keating was killed hy the Apaches last week on the White Trail canon in tho San Simeon Valley, Arizona. His body was found half a mile from his house. A man named Cha?aban and Mrs. Mack, servants on the Keating randi, cannot bc found. Capt. Hatfield's command, the Fourth and Fifth Infantry, nial Apacho scouts, liavo passed on to Fort (irant. They came from Copper canon, after service in Sonora. They look jaded and worn, mid thc whole outfit shows unmistaka ble sigiiA of rough service, hardship mid fatigue.

JOHN CRAWFORD, Druggist. * Athens, Ga. NEW YORK FASHIONS. SOM Kl ll INO Ol' I X i i i ; IN i TO OU1C LADY i : i : \ i ) i i ; s. Itltutlug Cockney Accent* ami Kiiaii?n Styles Latoal Wrinkle in Stocking*. (?jxt inl Dispatch to tin Baltimore Hun.") NEW VOHK, Sop tomber ?30.-Now York becomes more English every year. With thc full of the leaf thc sweet cockney accent ls once more heard on the hill, (Murray Hill, ol* course). It is not thc genuine article, bat it is au excellent imitation ot' it. Nobody ever heard a well Englishman or woman speak in the dialect which in New York passes for Iranslantie liligi ?sh. lt is peculiar to thc dist riet that lies within sound of thc How Hells. Another phrase of anglopho bia which is more fragrant in the nos trils ?d' thc ut e irrupted American is the great lavender boom, which makes thc streets ?t New York smell liken linen press of tho last generation, and brings before one pleasant thoughts of lovely English cottage gardons, and partieuly Anne Hathaway's classic bit of land. At every street corner, so to speak, stands a man with a large basket of laveudr flower, cither loose or in envelopes, on which is printed a remark dint lavender'flowers aro usod by tho Queen and tho royal faun Iv, and this is tho genuine English article. It sells rapidly at three, live and toil cents u package, and "there's millions in il" for thc enterprising pseudo or real Britisher whose thought it was to Beeilt tho New York highways with thc herb so sacred to rural domestic purity. In a community which encourages lavender as an article of popular com merce it is not be wondered at that tailor gowns not only exist as before but show more vitality than ever, lt is probable till?! they would have died a natural death long ago, like most New York faahions, if the sudden appearance ot thc great Redfern among us had not given them a new lease of life. Then, too, thc prominence ac corded to tailor go.vus in tin: trousseau of the Princess Beatrice luis exalted them in the eyes of all American be lievers in the right of the royal family to lead thc fashions. Thc favorite materials arc Scotch and English cheviots, in warm combinations of color. Thc least expensive cloth for a really fashionable tailor gown costs $? a yard. The draperies of thc newest gowns are plain in front and very boudant at thc back. The ?oily per missible buttons for the top coats arc large metal ones, which should har monize in tone with the cloth High military collars with still' linings arc frequently made willi postillion backs. All thc woolen materials ot the soasen arc rough and coarse in texture, ai d consequently more than usually OflccliVO and stylish. Smooth fabrics arc not good form. English home spun, in browns, grays and slate blues, mak e the most desirable street cos tumes for ordinary wear. Similar materials, with doss silk, generally black, woven in squares and giving a Hussy 0fleet, are known to thc trade, and the dressmaker as "nigger*hoad." The ;0 ?orousl y-nainod woolen cloth is combined with plain goods of the same, color and kind in suits. Serges of coarse texture arc favorite mato ri?is. Sonic of them have raslcd stripes, an inch witto, contrasting willi the ground. A darker brown serge has stripes of two lighter shades of brown. The same combinations of blue and red which have prevailed during thc past two seasons continue in favor. Thc blue is a trille brighter in the newest costumes. Embroidery is still used on woolen costumes Many of thc Imported patterns gowns are heavy, with applique designs] in velvet. Others are elaborate with openwork embroidery, lined with contrasting color. A very handsome dark blue cashmore of thc new shade has a red lining' showing I brough the open spaces of thc embroidery. Vel vet and damask brocades, with huge ligures and wide stripes, continue in favor for OVCning gowns. Colors and designs are, if possible, more pro nounced than last season. A curious and novel material is thc tiger plush. Il would require a person of Cleopatra presence and Semiramis beauty to carry oil a gown wholly or partly com posed of this eccentric material, and even then she would look like a per ambulating hearth-rug Thc general style of these costly and certainly sumptuous fabrics suggests wall-hang ings and furniture covers. Velvets in plain color will also be much worn, and velveteens arc always popular. Fur trimmings will not bc as univer sally worn as la t winter, although they arc always more or less ill fashion. Handsome silk cord ornaments take their place. A favorite design con sists of heavy qillpuro epaulettes, with several rows of cord for ming loops from one to thc other across thc front of thc garment. Tho covering of tho New York fe o?alo head becomes more and more hideous. Even thc nice little capote bonnet is so modified as to lose its dainty elegance, and as this was thc piece dc resistance of sensible people, il will be seen that things arc in a bail way. The new e.spotOS have tho crown defined like a Normandy bon net, and in some cases it is pleated at thc back. All the trimming is piled on in front. Loops of ribbon and Howers, wings, or tips, all firm pyra midal effects. In the round turban hats imported by hatters or made here after thc English models thc same ten dency lo concentrate all tho effect on thc very front of thc hat ls noticeable? Many of the hats arc trimmed with little besides a piece of velvet of a bright color, pleated into the shape of a fan and placed almost upright against thc front of the crown. Thc ordinary walking hat, in dark straw or felt, has a crown even higher than that of last season. The brim is narrow, and the trimming is massed in front. Some hats aro shown in felt which approxi mate to thc onco famous Hubens hat, but they indieatc thc turning of the tide, and it is to bc hoped that next season wo shall be treated to hats suited to a Christian stato of civiliza tion. At present tho streets of Now York appear to bo peopled with lei,mle Hottentots ns far as regards tho head. Thc latest wrinkle in silk stockings is to have snakes .on them. Tho snake's tail begins below the knee, and the reptile wriggles down the leg. Ills neck st ret die i along tho middlo of thc foot, and his head points to thc too. A scarlet stocking bas thc make, in while, with his outlines den md by small black beads. Larger ones form thc eyes. Tho wearer of these uncom mon ho?o will; not bavo snakes in her bonis but snakes in hor slippers. o KN ic lt AT. NKWS I'* KM8.
