•tap was to utilize ft. Some capitalists
became interested, concessions were
obtained from the French government,
mixed for this
rock, and
cargo of the rock
was landed in New York. But a new
difficulty confronted the company.
While the phosphate of lime could be
rftadtly made soluble, it was fonnd im-
pomtbie to reduce it to a drv powder.
The moss was so rich in phosphorus
that it assumed a gelatinous condition,
similar to soft bone. Hero was a
dilemma. Unless the rock oonld be
made soluble and at the same time dry,
it would have no mercantile valnc.
Science was braught to bear on the
subject, and after more than a year
spent in experiments she triumphed,
and a soluble acid phosphate iu a per*
fcctly dry, pulverized condition war
manafkctnrcd, giving the following
analysis:

Insoluble Phos. Acid 11.21
This now Acid Phosphate has been
named “Phosphoral”, and contains
sp
ric
phosphoric acid as is found in any acid
phosphate made from Charleston rock.
The manafficturers of Photpljoral claim
that the insoluble phosphoric acid
gradually becomes soluble in the soil,
and that good effects are seen for two
and three years from one application.

and shall expect them to give us the
results of their experiments next year.
A high-grade fertilizer like this would
be wasted if applied on badly prepared

Why tha Farm Doasnl Pay.
As a rule Southern farmers are not
prosperous in their farming o[>cra-
tions. As a class they lack enterprise
aad thrift. Tltey continue to run in
the same old ruts year after year, and
it seems almost impossible to revolu
tionize their present and {Mist evil and
imperfect systems of farming. Here
are several reasons why Southern
farmers do not succeed better:
1st. They subscnlte to and read too
few agricultural and stock journals.
2nd. They cultivate too large an
area in cotton to the exclusion ot other
erops.
3rd. Thev do not raise their own
pork and sufficient feed for their stock.
4th. They cultivate too much land*
fewer acres better cultivated would
net them more money.
6th. They keep too little stock, and
the same It not of a high quality.
6th. By keeping so few stock, they
neoeasarUv aave but little manure.
7th. They do not feed and handle
their stock so as to save all their drop
pings; and what they do save is not
protected properly from the wealher
nor is it applied to the land so as to
insure the greatest good. What is
generally applied to several acres
aliould bo concentrated upon one or
two.
8th. They do not keep their’lands
properly ditched.
9th. The stock are permitted to
tramp the cultivated lands all through
the fall and winter months, to its great
injury.
10th. Tltey do not raise enough pea
vines for green manuring—for turning
under;
11th. They feed too much corn ajid
not enough oats and hay. Corn is (lie
most expensive feed we can raise for
work stock. Oata arc more chcnplv
raised, and after the crop is harvested,
a crop of peas can be raised on the
same laud, improving the laud even
when the vines are harvested for hay.
12th. Instead of putting the larger
portions of their lands iu pasture and
meadow, and keeping sufficient thor
oughbred or grade stock to consume
thegrau; and in cuitivatiug the bal
ance of the fhrm so as to keep np and
even improve its fertility, bv judicious
rotation of crops, baru-yard and green
manuring, they let the negro butcbci
up the land, robbing it of iu fertility
and power of production year bv year.
The share system is ruinons; so is tire
renting system. The land in cultiva
tion should be worked by hired labor.
13th. They do not use the most ap-
K ved farm implements; the ante
mm farm tools as a rule are
gi
laud or crops, and for
should be abandoned.
The above are a few reasons for the
imperfect success and failure to make
the farm [my.—Southern Live Stock

In the second place, the meal being

than the whole seed. It is therefore a

depends npon the use to be v madc of it.
If it is desired to push any crop very
rapidly from the sjart, the meal is
preferable to the whole seed. As a

decidedly better than the whole seed;
meal is decidedly more convenient to

Tima to Apply St an lira to Corn.

corn when it is planted; would the

Answek.—It is well perhaps to apply
the manure at or before planting, to
very early varieties of corn; but for
the large varieties of our indigenous
corn, wo thiuk it better to apply ma
nure at first or second working. The
mixture you describe would do well
as you propose.— Southern Cultiva

Buchanan'* Hopalcia Lure.
Reminiscences of Democratic admin
istrations of years gone by are con
stant!! coming to light, says a Wash
ington letter to the Baltimore Ameri
can. “Right over there,” said an old
society beau tecently, pointing to a
brown-stone front near the executive
mansion, “lives a woman who might
have been mistress of (lie White House
under Democratic rule if she had seen
tit to accept the hand.of James Buch
anan. She comes from a very wealthy
Pennsylvania family, and was courted
by Mr. Buchanan. Her people want
ed her to marry him, but she didn’t
want to. She loved a poor clergyman,
rector of a church in her town; but
the family didn’t want her to marry
lii.n, and so they arrnged that he
should be quietly transferred to an
other post, some hundreds or thous
ands of miles away. This broke up
the match and the maiden too, for she
wont into retirement at once and has
married nobody. Neither the banish
ment of her clergyman nor the election
of Mr. Buchanan to the Presidency
could make her change her mind, and
she remained and remains single.
She is an old, withered and sad
woman, living there alone witli her
widowed sister in that great mansion
with actually more money than they
know how to use. They are the richest
people in Washington, possibly ex
cepting Mr. Corcoran, and they do
nothing with their wealth except to
keep up their magnificent establish
ment and pet a lot of cats and dogs.’
The lady referred to is the one of
whom the story is told that Mr. Cor
coran one day sent her a polite note
somewhat as follows: “My Dear
Mapam: 1 have been for some time
thinking of enlarging the Arlington
Hotel. If you will state the valnc
of your brown-stone mansion adjoin
ing, I will send the check for the
amount.” To which she replied:
“Mr Deau Mk. Couookan: I have
for some time been thinking of en
larging my flower garden. If von will
state the value of the Ailing
adjoining, I will send you my check for
the amount.”

Washington, Febrnary 27.—The
Vice-President-elect arrived in Wash

Baltimore Sc Ohio Railroad, two hoars
and a quarter behind schedule time.
A large crowd assembled at the depot
before the time at which tlie train was
due and patiently awaited its coming,
receiving constant accessions as the
time passed, until when the train ar
rived the assemblage numbered sev
eral hundred persons. The throng
filled the depot waiting room and
crowded about on the sidewalk in front
of the depot, and the members of the
citizens’ reception committee and of
the Indiana Democratic Association
with a few newspaper reporters await
ed tlie arrival.of the train on the plat
form in the interior of the depot. All
the Democratic members of Congress
from Indiana, except Voorhees, who
was detained at ihe Senate, and Judge
Holman, who could not leave the
House, wera present as members of
the Indiana Democratic Association.

road as far as Harper's Ferry to meet
Hendricks and escort him to fhe city.
It had been arranged by the Indiana
Association to meet Hendricks at the
depot and give him a cordial reception
without speech-making or any formal
ity, and the inaugural ■ committee sent
the reception committee to meet him
and escort him to Ins hotel. Unfortu
nately, howovc/, there was nb concert
of action between the two bodies, and
when the train drew up in the depot
and Hendricks alighted he was seized
hold of by Niles and Claggett of tbe
citizens’ committee and hurried through
the crowd on the platform towards his
carriage without being allowed to stop
a moment even to shake hands with his
Indiana friends. A few of the latter,
however, pushed their way through
the crowd and shook hands with the
Vice-President-elect. One enthusias
tic individual almost knocked Hen
dricks over in his eagerness to be
recognized and to take his hand. As
soon as tlie Vice-President-elect was
recognized many of the spectators on
tlie platform dolled their hats and ap-
plauac*d him. As lie pushed on to
ward the carriage down the length of
the platform and through the waiting
room to tlie street the applause arrew,
until, ns he reached the street, it broke
into enthusiastic cheering, to which
Hendricks responded by raising his
hat and bowing. The committee es
corted him to the carriage, but here
tlie crowd surged about tlie vehicle

off, while a score or more shook hands
with Hendricks. As the driver finally
whipped up his horses and drove off to

A MAN r.UKIED ALIVE.
Philadelphia, February 26.—Not
withstanding the proclamation Usned
this afternoon oalliaf on the citizens in
the vicinity of the carpet mill*! of Ken
sington to remain off the atrecta, ia
order to prevent e repetition of last
night’s riotons demonstrations, there
was sgaia to-night an immense crowd
of people in the neighborhood of Lee-
(loin’s Mill, where the non-union loom-
fixer Cameron is employed.
From early in tbe afternoon ontil
evening tbe crowd increased in nnm-
bera until the sidewalks and, in feet,
some of the streets were almost block
aded. Just before the time for the
hands in Leedom’s Mill to stop work
two hundred policemen marched up to
the building and, dividing into four
oads, drove the crowd Deck for a
block on each of the four streets lead
ing to the mill. Twenty officers then
escorted Ctmeron from tbe mill and
walked with him on the sidewalk as be
proceeded home.
Some of the more daring of these
congregated on the streets, eluded the
largo force of officers and running
through side streets caught np to Cam
eron and his escort. The mob then
followed closely, hooting and jeering,
and tiirowing snow bails,..lc& stones
and other missiles. The officers in
charge of the squad, after having been
followed a few blocks, ordered the men
to draw their clubs and charge upon
the mob. This was done, and a brief
but furious fight ensued. Several of
the policemen were knocked down, but
none seriously injured, while of those
composing the mob several came out
the melee with broken heads and seven
of them were captured.
Iu the excitement attending the on
slaught an officer slipped away with
Cameron and he was taken to his home
without beiug further molested. It
was said that tlie female non-union
weavers employ 6d Tn the "miH 'were
taken away in carriages, but the

kept in tlie building and will remain
there all night. The seven prisoners
whose ages range from 18 lo 28 years,

in this (Buncombe) county, ftii-nislics

fever for several weeks was thought to
have died, lie became speechless, his
flesh was cold and clammy and he
could not be moused, and there ap

was prepared for burial, and it was
noticed at that lime that there was no
stiffness in any of (lie limbs. He was
buried the ilay after his supposed
death, and when put in the coffin it
was remarked that he was as limber
as a live man. There was, much talk
iu tlie neighborhood about the case and
tlie opinion was frequently expressed
that Jenkins had been buried alive.
Nothing, liowever, was done about the
matter until the 10th inst., when the
coffin was taken up for the purpose of
removal and interment in the tamily

reoor
day or two ago he told the following
fascinating story; “Copoer is un
doubtedly a good thing. No man who
was lucky enough to got into some of
the Michigan mines on the ground
floor can gainsay that, but silver is a
better thing, for all that,.and as sure
as my name is Leopold, some time or
other the e will be one of t!:e biggest
strikes of silver made on the north
shore of Lake Superior ever heard of in
America. It will outdo the Rocky
Mountain finds just as our copper gets
away w th t(ie Arizona mines. Of
course, you know that where copper
occurs, silver is likely to be also found,
and that this is more than theory, the
frequent discovery of silver in northern
Miebigaa, and esiiecially tm The north
shore, proves. Yon know there is an
island oa Lake Superior -eaRed Sttrcr
island, on which silver is very profitably
mined. Did yon over hear the story of
tbe lost silver mine?’’
“Never," said the reporter.
“Well, it is good enoguh to print,
said Mr. Leopold. “It is a current
tradition' at Ontonagon, Hancock,
Houghton, and especially
and while you can hear it a
ways, I have looked into it very often,
and I believe you will find this to be
about the truth of it About sixty years
ago all the country north of Duluth
was a wilderness. There were a few
Hudson bay company's ports scattered
| about the lak$s and rivers up there, and
the Test of that part of British Ameri
ca was the home of roving Indians and
nobody else. The story was current
then that somewhere down along the
northern shore of the lake there was a
mine where virgin silver was to be
found in lumps. One day a party of
Indians—this is the cold truth, which
sembly of Knights I you can find on record in books printed
meeting to-night, [ years ago— one day a party of Indians
1 came into port on Lake Winnipeg, but
instead of furs they had solid ingots of
silver. Every one of the party was
provided with bricks worth hundreds
of dollars. You may believe this
caused a sensation. It proved that the
rumors current so long had some foun
dation. The Indians were strangers at
the post. They belonged to a different
tribe from any ever seen there before,
and they pointed out vaguely in a
southeasterly direction, when a>ked
whence they had come. Of course,
they had the usual carouse, and at last
they loaded up with guns, calicoes,
beads and whisky and started for home.
Two Frenchmen who were at the post
trackc t them a toss the wilderness,
shadowing them like a pair ot detec
tives, and utter about one hundred
miles further than from St. Louis to
Chicago—through incredible hardships
and suilcrings—they at last tracked
them to earth. According to the story
the home of those Indians was in the
range of hills between Crooked lake
and Superior, south ot Pigeon river, in
what is now the slate ot Minnesota.
They did more than this, they found
the ind an mine, and its wealth w as be
yond all the stories told of it. In a
grotto ot rotten rock tlie virgin silver
was to bo seen v. Suing the s des in
?very direction. The two men marked
down the position of the mine as close
ly as could be, taking a number of land
marks, so that there could be no mis
take. The mine stood at the head of a
long serpentine ravine, which trended
southeast. Then they loaded up with
%^1 the silver they could carry and start
ed i ack. A 1 this time tlie Indians
knew nothiiM of their visits. Well,
they toiled along for days and days,
borne down by the weight ot metal,
and at last one of them sickened and
died on the road Winter was coming
on and the remaining explorer strug
gled onward after burying his corn-
pan on and now and then stoppingand
cacheing some more silver, until at last
he got back to the post Thc work and
the exposure were too much for him,
however, and in a collide of days ho too
sickened and died, lie gave the most
ixplicit instructions to his companions
at the rosb as to how the mine was to
be reached, and you may believe that
the search ma e tlie next summer was
an exhaustive one. The'body of the
other explorer was found, so was also
the silver hidden on the road, but the
mine itself was not come upon. There
is an old Canadian that everybody calls
Leon, who ia occasionally to bo seen in
Duluth, where he come- to buy stores,
who la the son of one of thc men that
were at the post when ihe survivor of

[IjttUrto the Charlotte Obterter.]
The celebration of the completion of |
tlie Washington Monument was a
grand success. The routine report by
telegraph, which gives an adequate
idea of the impressive character of the
ceremonies as a whole, cannot furnish
all the information desired, and there
fore I add the following: The Presi
dent was intensely bored or tatigued
by tlie length of tho exercises. Mr.
Bancroft, at eighty-tive, was perhaps
the best listener. He received more
applause than any of those applauded
Except tho speakers in I heir allusions
to Wushington at the close of their
efforts. Fitz Lee, who came iu quietly
and went by the rear to a seat on the
floor of the presiding officer’s right
hand, was greeted with more hearty
applause than tlie brilliantly attired
Phil Sheridan, who strode witli his
staff dulv announced down the maiu
aisle. General Lee wore citizen’s
clothes, his badge tlie yellow sash of a
cavalryman to distinguish him as the
commander of thc second division of|
the parade. Where he sat was a little
group of Lees—Gen. William H. Lee,
son of the illustrious hero, and Mr.
Joseph Lee, a business man of this
city. The son of Robert Edmund Lee
bears striking resemblance to his
father. Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee was a
capital listener. He wore his beard
somewhat pointed, nearly in the fash

Elizabeth,” and at a distance his head

but its effect yvould have been greater
if the brilliant speaker had restrained
his superb but exuberant rhetoric.
Th* Burial cf David Dicksoa.
The funeral of Mr. David Dickson
took place Friday afternoon, tlie 20th
ult., at 2 o’clock. He was bnried in
the garden of his own homo. Tbe
coffin was of unpainted pine, made at
one of the shops #u Sparta, and was
covered with common white alpaca.
Tlie corpse was dressed in an elegant
suit of black broadcloth and black silk
velvet, bnt wore no shoes. The feet
of tbe deceased Were crossed, his right
arm lay at bis side, his hanu clenched
with tlie excention of the index finger,
which pointed toward his feet. Tbe
left hand lay on his breast and held a
beautiful pocket handkerchief, and in
the right pocket of his pants were a
pocket-knife, a pocket-comb and a
tooth-pick. These details about his
burial were arranged by Mr. Dickson
some years ago, and were communi
cated to his nephew, Mr. Jeff Wortheru
that they might be observed. Tho
funeral was largely attended.
