Will It not ba better to Ive nature time and opportunity to estore itself and rather giro it kelp than paralyse Ita power? To do this all stoek snonld be kept from our cul tivated fields, and the vegetable matter accnmnlating allowed to decay open the surface, or bettor, properly turned under the soil. We have been much ratified at the results upon our own inn from sueh ot our fields. By attaching a chain of snltable weight lo the double-tree of a two-horae plow, we have effectually covered weeds lhat stood upon the ground flve feet high, so that not a vestige of them could be Lauds treated in this way for nine years are yielding fifty |>er cent, letter crops than when this system of mprovement began. Upon other fields wo have sown peas, trying them broadcast and in drills, yorpeas, put upon grain lands our seasons are not uniformly good, aud thto practice is somewhat uncer- ain as to results. When, however, the seasons have been remarkable and much better than when the fields were ell lo the spontaneous growth of the soil. The general system of hoed crops usual, with us, has necessarily prevented the accumulation ofvegetble matter upon our cultivated fields, and our only hope to obtain it is by rota tion of crops and allowing spotancous growth and crops cultivated for the purpose to remain npon the lands for manure. The great press of business and push of work, just at this season, make it very difficult to take on an additional crop of peas without detriment to other growing crops. The matter, however, is a very important one, and formers must determine wisely as to the best means of supplying their toils with humus. Peas, if planted during this month, must be put in very rap idly. The seasons stay in the ground but a little time and the work must be done ouickly if it succeeds. If the fields should bo thoroughly pulverised jfVith a Disc harrow, the rows can be laid ofl’ and sufficiently bedded, cov ering the peas at tlx? same time, and the balance ot the laud breaking Ictl to be done at a later stage. In this way the work can be rapidly and effectually done. The application of a small amount of ash element will secure an enormous yield of vegetable matter for the soil. In 1878, the Agri cultural Society, of South Carolina, appointed a committee to report what changes In the agriculture of the sea coaat were possible to arrest the decay of that region and restore it to its former prosperity. Aided by the late Dr. St. Julion Itavencl, this committee made a series of cxncriincnts witli the cow pea and ush element, and raised their lauds to an enormous increase of yield. We give a portion of the report submitted by the Hon. It. N. Gourdin, chairman of the commitce appointed by the Club, Field number one pro duced forty bushels of oats i>cr acre number two, forty-five bushels, and number three, sixty bushels. In wheat, number one produced thirty bushels per acre; number iwo pro duced twenty-five bushels per acre and number three, twenty-one bushels The following statement was appended to the report: “It is but proper to remark that the land upon which these crops were grown was an old field, thoroughly exhausted, aud growing nothing but broom sedge. • • * 7| ie oa t 8 planted on the two acres, without any previous treatment with peas and ash element, were poor in many places and too short and thin to be worth cutting/’ These results will commend themselves to all intelligent fanners who are seeking to turn their farms to the best advantage.

The last stage of the Jonr- ney was the worst, as the jolting caused the Genoral much pain and fatigue. When the General alighted from I lie train a large banner confronted him, bearing the words, “Welcome to Oar Hero/ 7 At the moment a photograph er, witli a camera on the platform, took an instantaneous, picture of (he General alighting. The General, stead ied on each side by Henry and Harri son, bis attendants, started to walk from the train to tlie Drexcl cottage. The ascent was easy and the distance short, but his strength failed and he was placed in a chair, which was car ried to the cottage by two porters, dr. Drexel and Mrs. Grant were close behind the General, and his household and servants followed, forming a little recession. On the cottage stoop Miss )roxeI welcomed the party and con ducted the Indies to their room.

Dr. Douglas was anxious to examine and clcamc the General’s tbront. He found timt con siderable irriintion had been caused by the fine dust which hud lodged iu the throat during the jonrrey, hut saw that the surface underneath, though inflamed, appeared better than he had expected. Tlie swelling outside had steadily increased after pas-lug Hud son, and during the last hour of the trip it rapidly tilled forward ou the neck uujl below the collar. The Gen- cral’s voice, which was better at. start ing, hud utterly failed him, and any effort to speak resulted onl^y in faint and almost inaudible aspirations. The doctor thought this aphonia was due to fatigue, which was greater dur ing the last hour of the trip than at any other time. When the doctor had cleansed and treated his throat the General appeared on the piazza and was seated iu a pillow-cushioned chair with his feet resting iu another. His skull cap was drawn down and his neck was protected by the upturned collar of his gown. His elbows rested on the arms of tlie chair, his hands were clasped, his eyes closed and the watchers said lie was enjoying repose. This, however, was not so. After ten minutes lie arose and, with his cane, slowly walked to his room and laid down. In faint whispers he let Dr. Dduglas know ho was very weary and was glad the journey w as ended. His pulse, ordinarily 71, was 80 beats to the minute. The family are all ijuar- tereJ at the cottage, but Dr. Douglas lias bis rooms in the house. Dr. Dougins remained the entire evening with General Grant, who, despite the fatigue, was wakeful until ten o’clock. His throat was then painted with cocoaine and he settled for the night. Dr. Douglas retired to an adjoining room, though he has rooms at the hotel, and the niv’sc was left to watch the General. AVm*M OattlMry DteMUr O— B—a—S itspi IiMttbate Uvm. A terrible explosion took place lest week in Pendlebnry Colliery near Manchester, England. Sixty persons have been rescued alive and seven dead bodies .have been recovered. Hun dreds of miners are still below, and there is only a faint hope that any of these can be saved. The cages in which volunteers were proceeding down to the bottom »f the pit got stack iu (lie shaft, ami it was two hours before the party could get to work exploring the mine for the miss ing men. Those who were rescued state that when tlie explosion occurred they fled to the bottom of the shaft, and they are ignorant of the fate of their companions. Another account of the explosion says it occurred iu Clifton Colliery, that there were 350 men at work at the time, that 120 were taken out, but 230 are still imprisoned, and that it is feared that most, if not all, will |>erisli. Later dispatches from Manchester say that the explosion was caused by fire damp. There were working in the mine at the lime it occurred 349 miners. One hundred mid sixty of these were at work in the level In which the explosion occurred. They arc slill iu the mine and cannot be reached, o.vtng to the masses of coal thrown down In the explosion and which closed up their means of exit. Tlie one hundred and twentv men be fore repor'ed ieseu**d were taken out before noon. Great exeiteineiit lias been caused by the disaster. A dispatch from Manchester says that one hundred additional men have been rescued from the mine. Probably one hundred have been killed. Later reports from the cene of the explosion arc to tlie effect that tlie damage to buildings in the vicinity of the magazine was only slight. Weaver and Nelson, the former of whom was killed, were found almost denuded of clothing. Their limbs were broken and their eyes blown out. Nelson is reported to he dying.

R. Fellows, of New York, to a Washington reporter in tiie Higgs House lopby. “This city a row s upon mo every time 1 sec it; it is a beautiful place and one of tlie be*-t in the world for residence. What a rnaguiccnt avenue Pennsyl vania avenue wouhl be if it were lined with splendid buildings like those on Broadway. As it is, it is one of the shabbiest iu the city. I should imagine that as the country grows, and its business increases, each o.ie ot the bureaus now occupving rented houses, or portions of the departmental build- ings^will need separate establishments to themselves. Would it not be a good idea to connect the Treasury and the Capitol wit a row of handsome public buildings? Why, there would not then be a street in the world to com pare with Pennsylvania avenue.” “What are the prospects for the New Y or k Ml elections?” t‘Wo have scarcely Ijegun to talk about them in New York at present, voj) see politics there, when they do come, are so hot that we try to keep them off as long as possible. I believe Mr. Low will be the Republican noni inee for Governor, and cither Mr. Hill, the present Governor, of Mr. Roswell P. Flower, the Democratic one.” “What do you think is the opinion in New York on the Administration"' “it is eminently satisfactory. The belief is that the Administration is in good hands and that the Executive is the best one ever held the position. About five million people voted for Mr. Cleveland, and 1 believe that of these four million nine hundred and fifty 'thousand-arc perfectly satisfied, while there may ho about fifty thousand who are dissatisfied (tfflee- seekers. I believe that when the four years have elapsed for which Mr. Cleveland was elected, that every one in the country, irrespective of party, will say that the Admini.-tration was the best that the country every had.” “Do you think it will be the policy of the Administration to improve (lie American nayy'^' “Decidedly, i doj most decidedly. We can’t always expect to escape the fate of nations, and although there is no appearance of any war at present, there is no knowing when there may In; and without a navy we arc at the mercy of almost any foreign power.

Thinking men of both parties are agreed that there must be some change in tlie tariff. Wc are raising more revenue than wo need at present Tha Commarcial Situation When large quantities of goods are forced for sale through the auction rooms, instead of through the regular channels, It is always pretty safe to conclude that business has suflered a period of depression and that produc tion has gone on until it required a sjiecial way of affording relief to the markets. These auction sales are oftentimes regarded with more or less trepidation in the trade—first, because there is danger that buyers will only be found for the goods offered if the prices arc much below those current at the time the sales take place, aud second, because there is danger that large peremptory offerings are likely to till up the demand for some time to come. A few iVeeks ago an auction sale of flannels was held in this city, which, in its results, was quite up to cxpections, both as to prices amt the demand. Last week there were two sales of flannel goods aggregating in money value between two aud three millions of dollars, yet the concessions which had to be made, so far as prices are concerned, were moderate, and not only were tnc goods catalogued dis posed of, but In some cases they had to be duplicated. Ail this shows that consumption is increasing and that buyers are apparently of tb6 belief that this is a good time to lay in stocks. One of the underlying causes for the long depression in trade has been an indisposition to purchase in the hope of being able to secure better terms by waiting. Hence the demand has been reduced to a minimum, while mills have been kept rumdqg long after their operation had been found un profitable, if only for the purpose of keeping hands employed and to pre vent loss on machinery, which always results from a shut down. Even now there is no decided evi dence that the situation has changed permanently for tlie better, but at the same time the indications are encour and they apprehend trouble in hi* case. —Thirty-six out ot one hundred and Uurty-two applicants for admission to Went Point Academy have been found deficient.
