A World correspondent saw the Admiral at his home at U o'clock last evening. Admiral Dewey rtuid : "I realize that the lime has ai rived when I must definitely doline my position. "When I arrived in this country last year I said nothing would in duce me to be a candidate for the 1* residency "SilUJQ tliei... however, 1 have had thc leisure and inclination lo study thc matter and have reached a dif ferent conclusion, inasmuch as so many assurances have come lo me from my countrymen that 1 would ho acceptable as a candidate for this great oflice.

"Since Btuddying this subject 1 am convinced that the ollice of Presi dent is not such a very diflicull one to lill, his duties being mainly to execute the laws of Congress.

[ Kor tko Courier.] Can Wo Forgot ? (Continued.) In eighteen hundred fifty fo ir, Tho lion made a dreadful roar, And day by day tho roar incroascd, As if to challenge every beast. Kre long ho left his eustomed lair, To grapple with tho Russian boar, That roved too far into tho cast, And hungered for a Turkey feast. The lion said, "I fed this fowl, And don't you in its pasture prowl, Kor when it's fat enough to cat, i'll wring its neck and have its meat, And give tho entrails for your share, Tho kind of food to feed a hoar; Tho foatllOl'S, too, to warm your bod, Oil which to rest your frosty hoad." This new insult so 11 rod tho hoar, That quickly arose ids grizzly hair, And then bogan tho bloody fray, When each one fought bis foo to slay. Tho light was tierce and dreadful all, And emba? at Sevastopol, Where both exhausted needed helps, And whined o'er countless slaughtered whelps. TIlO bing of beasts, though groat in might, Will shun a foo too hard lo light, And then on weaker creatures fall, To spread a terror ovor ali. And britain, by her emblem boast, Durne on her llag in south and east, Has followed its suggestions well, As heartless conquests sadly tell. She's overrun t he Oriont, To Africa her armies sold, 'fe crush the weak beneath her stroke, And on them force ber haled yoke. "tis false to think that bloody hands, Can benefit benighted lands, And prove but blessings in disguise, The heathen world to Christianize. All conquest war was incant to cease, When Christ, appeared as "Prince of Peace," And his mihi reign has had Hms far, No toe so hateful as such war. The heralds ol" the cross when sent, Kroin lands from which Hie armies wont, Discover oft tito heathen mind, To gospel truth all disinclined. The cause is clear, and not dollied, They think tho mission folks allied, lu some way, with the soldier hands, That slew and ravaged in their lands.

The plot on whiel the beans wore grown-a poor sand) loam-was planted in oats tho ycai following ami yielded thirty-foui bushels per acre, whereas an adjoin ing plot whore crab grass had beet plowed under yielded only oigh bushels, the plot being worked am cultivated in identically tho sam? manner. Hundreds of fanners re port equally satisfactory results 01 all kinds of crops following the beam ( )n the poor, thin lands of l'Morida tin results in improving the soil hav been little short of marvelous. The velvet bean will grow in al the Southern Slates on tho ponies soils, ami yields an enormous otop o vines.
