,1 ' pa* Qiwver (KI ?[e1ll 9tdata.) xtotie in yogvaluaple pa a many enquitot' about "ai an over (Lespene.a strlats). This plant kasioti in this State about the 49, near Charleston, S. C., the 'having been brought probably a mJapan in tea boxes.. About the r 1860 It was discovered in this ($dgefleld) county, where it is cover in all old fields and land not cultivat I, rootin out broom grass and other grasses. it seems especially adapted to the Southern States, growing with luxurlance on poor land and retainin vitality in the severest droughts. It is a very fine plant for grazing cattle kept fat all summer on it, and being a perennial, needs no resowing. It grows with more luxuriance on poor land than any plant I ever saw. I have seon it growing nearly knee high in public roads, 1. e., that portion where vehlels do not run. It furnished a large supply of vegetable matter to the soil and is the best humus making plant in the South. As I have said, it is a good pastur age for stock, and I have just made some of the finest hay out of it I ever saw. All kinds of stock are very fond of the hay and will eat it preference to most any other. In rich bottom land it will grow two to two and one-half feet high. In curing the hay, it should not have to much sun; if it does, it will shed off too many of the leaves. There is no seed saved or sown in this State; all we have to do Is to quit plowing the land; the sewond year thereafter it will be covered with the clove O. '. Cheutham in So. Live 8C ournal. Orchard Grass. Of this grass Prof. Lozenby, director of the Ohio experimental station, says: This certainly stands near the head of the list of valuable forage grasses. It is rapidly coming into fkvor, and Is now quite widely disseminated through out the 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 and America. In the United States it was first culti vated In Virginia, in 1760, and was soon thereafter introduced into Eng.. land. It is quite aggressive and spreads rapidly, but is very sensitive to good or bad trentm, nt It is specially adapted to a strong rich land. It affords pasturage early I in spring and yields a great amount of < aftermath. It often looks coarse, but t in reality Is tender, palatable and < nutritious. The habit of growing in I tufts or bunches may be overcome by ( sowing the seed more thickly, and by f the use of the harrow in early spring. I Some farmers eow it with clover, and like it better than timothy for the pur- I pase. There are few who have given I this grass a fair and impartial trial, I who are not well plesed with it. It should be cut when in blossom, or I very soon after. Ripe orchard grass I makes very poor hay. On our trial- I plats the orchard grass has not been 1 winter killed, and has invariably yielded a larger amount of early foliage than any other variety. It begins to head about the middle of May, and is in full bloom the second week in June. Height forty Inches. Weight of seed varies from t welve to fourteen pounds per bushel. The Cottoa Plant and Soin Fertilty. (The writer has belIeved for many years that the cotton platnt-otr, in Sthor words, (lie much abused "cotton rop"-if properly managed, was a reat renovator of the soil-possibly t e best renovating ctop in the world -taking into consideration the fact that (lie.t~am, after taking all his lit, cotton for market, still has left on his land the seed, stalks and leaves, and nearly everything made from (lie soll is reundto the soil. In giving what we take to be somei of the causes why certain plants enrich the lanid more than others, and why cotton more than the grain crops, let us the first take iinto consideration the effect produced on the soil by the tree. Mention has been made o: the forest tree fertilizing the land, and that Its teachintg shoulId b)e followed by the farmers, to which we agree, for as with' the plant, so also with the tree, some having tap roots and others only sur ikce roots; and those, in each case1 that have tap roots fertilize the soil, anid the accumulations are of great benefit to the cultivated crop. Being a caso in point we will take the old field pine, though we are unable say why 'the fhil grown pine trees of the forest do not act in the same way as the old field pines in Improving the soil. But the "ld flds seem- to be an especial yrovision of Providence to reclaim old worn out and badly washed lanids, which it does to an extent that is un equaled by aniything else known to our section of' the country where the lantd is left by Itself to rest, rnothinig at all being done to It but just to be left alone for some twenty years more or~ less. These pines come on the lanid 0r themselves, and when left -alone they take all oter the land, galled, gullled andi all, and will grow anid thrive in the krest, sandy or red clay guilles; atop washes, form new soil or enrich the old where there 1e any loft to en*srich. Tqe question is, where and -odeos it get its fertilisers while ugon what seems to be sterility i~fT This tree appears to be a very lbeder, anid sends its roots far deep into the sterile and hard Mband takea up fertilisers that are N~do'm, too scant and too itisoluble e ny tivatIon to reach, take up or i.~~ppa& But thIs tree doem all ~ tiJlip~wtautigdeepand wide, taking to form a rich soil from a of yfeet, absorbing them ini leaves and burg, which S4 n to rot and become a *r olil01; this crude matterI ioIl to feed cultivated had often appearing as ( 19*Witr,thMt when flest of w f*tls fb t that might 'dbeen t,ee. n IOAands of so It i*Wth $I.,some s, nor e lessIp e athe old - 0 Ehi oo)7annusiq ,they eo to iotheoti N ew%th iht asnd tr es tbA! t atob A v S;ell as tGe re,sra* heavily gammonia fromI the atmosphere rough tieir leaves, while their roots metrato deep In seatoh of minoral bud. They seem more independent of immonia than the surface roots pinate. How is it possible that a good con nercial fertilizer should impoverish he land of Its humus, or anything else hat is val'uabla, and 'that, too, when ised on crops where all is loft on the and that has been supplied by the for ilizers and the soil? Show us your arops made without the aid of fertil izers, and we will show you our crops undo by the aid of fertilizers. In what way is the humus being exhausted when one tests for t.he present year, but upon lands that have rasted two or three years, possibly it would not show so well by a good deal. With three ditferent brands of superphos iliates, the cotton with each is three or four times as large as where there is none, and it is just row and row about. How is this cotton of several times the size of the other to make less vogetablp matter and limnus than the nther thht is so mloli slpaller? Again is it not presumable that those Who spend their money so freely for manures would appreciate the home made as much as thiose who do not? R. F. in Southern Cultivator. COMING TO TIilIR SENSES. The Colored People of Virginia Declare Their Independenpo of tbp Itadical Foliti clans. The colored people of Virginia held a State Convention at Lynchburg last week. 'Thp following address was adopted amid great enthusiasmn; - "To the Colored People of Virginia : Whereas we, the colored people of Virginia, believing as we do that the time has come for us to call a halt in the unqualified support we have given the Republican party, do here, in con vention assembled, solemnly declare ourselves politically indepeninct in all matters which pertain to us as citizens Df this Commonwealth. We haive for twenty-five years adhered to our form .r poltical associates with unparalelled idelity, because in those dark days of [econstruction the R{epublic'an pai ty )roved that it was the only party to which the' colored man of the South ould consistently ally himself. To hat end the colored voters respondgd mud raised to power and place men vho grew wealthy while administer ng the laws of the UMilted States Gov rnment in the Souther* States. We bel ever grateful for what has been lone, but now the time has come for is to think, act, vote and speak for ursolves, and especially so since the tepublicans have *practically aban loned us in former campaigns and in 1l matters where the negro ought to iavo had recognition in proportion to roting strength and intelligence. We [now, too, tnat many of our race have >en murdered in the Southern States, ut the causes which led to these sad iccurrences which have spilled our elood and created the bitter race an agonism which now retards our pro cress and makes it difficult to live in he land of our birth, are largely raccable to the mismanagement of Federal oficeholders in our sections. "The foregoing reasons load us t) dopt such methods and to so demean >urselves as to make friends of those whose interests are identical with our )Wn. We therefore appeal to the solored people of our native State to ook well to the altered condition of iffairs anid in the future to make stuch political alliances as will most advance Mur interests educatiomially, financIally snd politically. We feel sur'e that here is throughout broad limits of the Donmmounwealth a general disposition )m the par't of the white people to uccord us all our rights before the lawr mid to meet us heartily in every ad rance we make for the uphioldmlig of )iri people. It behooves us then to ISe our ballots ini such mlanlner thet we nay dive OUt all discordant elemenits n Virgina, whether they be headed ry nat ives or aliens to the State. We also condemn the raisimng of the raising >f the r'ace issue by any class of men vho essay to lead the masses, because t can do notinmg but prove detrli mnental to on11 cause amid our' interests. We therefore ask the hearty co opera ion of our peo,ple in Vir'gimiia to the uccess of our mnovememit. We have ause to be thank ful for the liberality >f the pmresent National Ad minmistration o our people in the South. We also ielieve our relatiomns to the State debt rme such as to justify us ini hopjing that Virginia ill be0 relieved from her )resent finanicial emmbarrassmemnts by uid from the Federal Goverment, which will enable her better to provide ror all the mater'ial imnterests of her altIzens amnd to brinig about that uni ver'sal good feelimng which ought to 3xist betweeni the two races."

IO3KrsiNo OF ZNTREST TO OUR LADY RXADERS. Eitating Cockney Aceents and English Styles-Latest Wrinkle in Stookings. (Speiat DiMpatch to the Baltimore bun.) NEW YOnK, September :30.-New York becomes more English every year. With the fall of the leaf the sweet cockney accent is once more heard on the hill, (Murray 11111, of course). It is not the genuine article, but it is an excellent imitation of it, Nobody ever heard a well Englishman or woman speak in the dialect which in New York passes for translantic English. It is peculiar to the district that lies within sound of the low Bells. Another phrase of anglopho bia which is more fragrant in the nos trils of the uncorrupted American is the groat lavender boom, which makes the streets of Now York smell like a 1111en press of the last generation, and brings hcflbre one pleasant thoughts of lovely English cottage gardens, and particuly Anne Hathaway's classic bit of land. At every street corner, so to speak, stands a mall with a large basket of lavendr flower, either loose or in envelopes, on which is printed a remark that laveoder flowers are used by the (ueen and the royal family, and this Is the genuine English article. It sells rapidly at three, five and ten cents a package, and "there's millions in it" for the enterprising pseudo or real Britisher whose thought it was to scent the New York highways with the hcrb so sgcrpc1 to rum"i domestic purity. In a community which encourages lavender as an article of popular coin merce it is not be wondered at that tailor gowns not only exist as before but show more vitality than ever. It Is probable that they would have died a natural death long ago, like most New York faahions, if the sudden appearence of the great Red fern among us had not .given them a now lease of life. Then, too, tilo turomilnenoe ac corded to tailor go.vns'n the trousseau of the Princess Beatrice has exalted them in the eyee of all American be lievers in the right of the royal family to lead the fashions. The favorite materials are Scotch and English cheviots, in warm combinations of color. The least expensive cloth for a really fashionable tailor gown costs $5 a yard. The draperies of the newest ggowns are plain in front and very bouffant at the back. The only per mnissible buttons for the top coats are large metal ones, which should har monize in tone with the cloth. High military collars with stiff linings are frequently made with postillion backs. All the woolen materials of the sossen are rough and coarse in texture, and consequently more than usually eflective and stylish. Smooth fabrics are 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 floss silk, generally black, woven in squares and giving ia fussy eflect, are known to the trade, and the dressmaker as "nigger-head." The sonorously-named woolen cloth is combined with plain goods of the same color and kind ut suits. Serges of coarse texture are favorite mate rials. Some of themn have rasled stripes, ani 11nch wide, contrastinlg with tIle grounld. A darker brown serge has stripes of two lighter shades of brown. The same combinationus of bhic1 anId red whicht have prevailed during the past two seasons continute in favor. The blue is a trifle brighter in thue newest costumes. Embreidery Is still ulsed on woolen costumles Many of tile impo(rted platterlns gowns ar~e heavy, with applhque designisj in velvet. Others are elaborate with op)enwor'k embroldery, 11ined - with conutrastinlg color. A vecry handsome dark blule cashmnere of the' new shade has a red lining showling through the open spaces of the embroidery. Vel vet anId damask brocades, with large figures anId wide stripes, continue in favor for even1ing gowns. Colors and designs are, if~possible, more pro nloutnced thlan last season. A curilous and( llove material is the tiger plush81. It would require a person of Cleopatra presenlce and Semiramis beauty to carry off' a gown whIolly or partly coin posed( of this eccentric material, andI even then shle would look like a per ambulastintg. hearth-rug The genleral style of thlese costly and certainly sumptuous11 fabrics suggests Wvall-.hang ings anId furniture covers. Velvets in plain color will also be much .worn, and velveteenus are always popular. Fur trimmings will not be as unliver sally worn as last winter, althutgh thley are always more or less in fashion. IHandsomne ail1k cord ornaments take their place. A favorite design coni sists of heavy qulpure epaulottes, with several rows of cord forming loops front onme to the othier across the front of thle garmenit. The covering of the New York fe male head be::omecs mor~e anud more hideous. Even the nice little capote bc'mnet is so modified as to lose its d1aDty elegance, and as tis was the piece. de resistaLnce of Renlsible peopleI, it will be seen that things are inl a bad wvay. 'The new capotes have the crown dlefiled like a Normandy bon-. nlet, and in some cases it Is plested at the back. All thue trimming is p)iled On ill front. Loops of rib'bon anud flowers, winlgs, or tips, all form p'yra umldai effects. In the round turban hats imported by biatter's or' made here after1 thle Eniglis h models the same tenl dlency to concentrate all thle effect onl tihe very fronlt of tile lhat Is noticeable. V'any of thle blats are trimnmed withl s,tie besides a piece of velvet of a bright color, pleated linto the shlape of a fall anId placed almost uprighlt againlst tile front of the crown The ordinary walkinlg hat, ill (dark sivaw~ or felt has a cr'Cwn 'evenl highler thanl that of last sejason. TIhe brim Is nlarrowv, and tile trImming is mnassed iln fronit. Sonmc hats are showvn In felt which approxi mate to the onIce famous Rubenis hat, but they inldicate the turninig of tihe tide, anld It is to be hoped that next seasonl we shall be treated to hlats suited to a Christian state of civili'za lion. At present the streets of New okappar to be0 peopled with iealHottentots as far as regards the head. The latest wrinkle in silk stockings Is to have snakes onl them. The snlake's tail be~ Ins below the knee, and' the reptile wrfgles dow~n the leg. His aeek stretches aong the middle of tIle foot, and his head points to the too.
