to the General’s present condition:
"The angry redness of the palatal
eurtain has in a moasmb disappeared
and there is now occupying a consid
erable portion af its left side a triangu
lar-shaped, shandy-defined granular
oxhberancc, which has an ominous
appearance. 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.

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. Clovergathen from the toil more

8. Clover in Ms decay sots free from
the soil a considerable quantity of
mineral matter, aud also gathers from
the atmosphere, during its growth, a
considerable quantity of nitrogen.
4. All these accumulations are
brought to the surface, where they are
made available for the use of succeed
ing crops.

The Colnmens (Ga.) 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

following bequests:fl “Mrs. F. M.

Soon after my marriage, about four

some trouble peculiar to her sex
which broke down her general health.
In this condition she was soon after
attacked witli Inflammatory Rheuma

her a cripple. 8lie was reduced in

very near losing her life. She was
attended by three good physicians who
treated her witli some benefit, but tbe
swelling in her joints never left her

form which seemed to defy the skill of
oil the doctors. She would almost go
frantic with p^iin, and would lie and
scream all day. A friend of mine, who

slmtild use Swift’s Specific (S. S. 8.),
which I did. After she had taken one
small bottle she was up and able to

rate of this rural county it higher than
that of tbe dty of Atlanta. Numer
ous charges were made against the
different county officers, resulting, a
year ago, in the remoral of several,
the iudtotment of others and a strong
affort to corer up tbe whole affair.
The citizene were aronsed, however,
and It was determined that the guilty

8t. Louis, Mo., March 10.—The per
sonal and political controversy which
has raged with more or less animosity
for some time past between Governor
Marmadnke, of this State, and Major
C. C. Rainwater, a prominent citizen
of St. Louis and possible Democratic
candidate for mayor of this city, has
assumed another very bitter phase and
one likely to attract general attention
Yesterday Governor Marmaduke
gav* to the reporters st Jefferson City
an affidavit bearing the signature of
Robert C. Pate, a well known horse
man and keeper of keno rooms in this
city, alleging that in 1875 he paid
money for the privilege of running
keno rooms here, and that his nnder-
standing was that the money was for
tlie benefit of L. Harrigan, chief of
police of this city, and Major Rain
water, who was exeentive officer of
tlje board of police commissioners
To-day Major Rainwater publishes an
open letter to Governor Marmaduke,
in which he treats the matter in the
moat bitter and scathing terms, and
denounces lhe affidavij as a most in
famous lie, and believes that those who
read it will agree with.him that a man
who becomes a jmrty to tbe circnlation
of sncli outrageous statements on such
a basis is a trifle worse (ban the scoun
drel who originated the story, be that
man gambler or Governor. Major
Harrigan, who is again chief of police,
also pronounces lt>e affidavit a mon
strous lie, and states that a written
acknowledgment that it is a lie is in
existence. * • -

New Orleans, March 10. — The
•trike of the freight handlers on the
New Orleans and Texas Pacific Rail
road has apparently for llio present
put an end to tbe movement of freight.
It is reported tiiat no freight ears left
this city yesterday on that road.
A special to tlie Picayune from
Shreveport says: “In commercial
circlet tbe effects of the strike are felt
to a considerable extent. Over eighty
car loads* 4|f freight dne last week are
detained t* route. Commercial and
a^ricaitutal interests In need of pro-
visions are anfieringjin consequence.
The deiaay in the delivery of freight
may resnlt in suits for damages against
the railroad company. Tbe freight
depot is deserted; all the employees
bars been discharged except one nntil
tbe troubles is over. The sympathy
of the psopte is with the strikers.”

but it came to the cars of the Atlanta

Miss Belle Dunaway, who had b *en pro

denying that she was dead. 8!ie said:

It was a capital idea, but artists are
