i <. ?-< . The Soui cea of tile ?aatod?ente of Cbem , leal Fertilisera. Let us seo what are the commer cial materials which practically fin nish tho four affective agents of fertility, and if tlio sources of these olemonts nrc truly inexhaustible and always open td tho'wants of agriculture. Wo will pass in rapid review thc terms of tho completo fertilizer: nitrogen, phos phoric acid, potash and limo. NITROGEN. This is one of thc most wide-spread substances in nature It forms 79 per cent, -of the volume of the atmospheric air. For every quart of air wc breathe wc draw into imo our lungs 79 per cent, of nitrogen aud 21 per cont of oxygen. We live in tho midst of a aea" of gas 56,000 yards deep, and move in this terian ocean Uko thc ii li in thc depths of the sea. When wc walk wc open a path which closes behind us. Thc nitrogon and oxygen constituting this ambient medium arc not combin ed ; they are simply mixed in such a way that each one can freely cuter into all thc chemical and organic com binations to which it is attracted by Its afllnities. Thc word nitrogen conies from the (?reek and means without lifo. It is in truth by itself unfit for respiration, and burning bodies plunged into it arc immediately extinguished ; this fact made thc ancients confound it with carbolic acid. Rutherford, ia 1772, was thc first to distinguish it from this gas. It acts tho part of moderator in air and in organic combinations, tempering the too quick action of oxygon. Tho blue color of tho atmosphere at long dis . tances is attributed to ihe gas. Pure nitrogen is always in a gaseous state, but it is easily obtained in combina tions, cither with hydrogen in thc form of ammonia or oxgen in thc form of nitric ncid. In an ammoniac form, nitrogen is easily allied with sulphuric acid and forms sulphate ot ammonia, a salt willoh crystalizcs perfectly, is very soluble and contains 20 per cent, its weight in nitrogen. "Nitrate of soda furnishes also 15 per cent, of thc nitrogen of nitric acid, combined with tlie oxyde of sodium. Nitrate of potash contains 13 per cent, which enters into the fertilizer when this salt is used ns a source of potash. All thc nitrogen absorbed by thc roots of plants conies to them in thc form of nitric acid or nminonla neutralized by abase and ammonia neutralized by an acid. Thc nitrogen which the plants draw from thc air is in a gaseous state. It is thc leaves that capture it under this form. Nitrogen can then bc as similated by plants under three forms, as anim, nia, ns a nitrate and ns a gas, pure and invisible ns it exists in thc composition of the air. Ammoniacal nitrates arc particular ly adapted to thc cereals, nitrate ol potash to beets and other roots and gaseous nitrogen to thc legumes. A great part of the sulphate of ammonia of commerce comos from gas factories. 2,64.') pounds of coal yields about lil pounds of sulphate of ammonia. Equal proportions are taken from thc drain age water of large citios treated will sulphuric acid and certain aqueous vol canoes. Hut the inexhaustible source of nigrogenous matter {is thc air. 69, 620,000 pouudsof atmospheric nitrogci rest permanently on the surface of cad aero. Directly to draw thc nitrogci of the air so as to make it assimilable to plants is thc most beautiful problcn which chemistry can solve in favor o agriculture, and consequently of tin feeding of mankind. The more nitro gen given to wheat the greater tin harvest and thc richer thc grain ii gluten. To draw nitrogen from tin air for thc benefit of our fields is prac ticallv to solve tho problem of chea] living; and we will certainly succcct in this, for as soon as a problem bc conies a qucition of general interest science gives a solution of it. Besides, wc are already on thc wa; lo this solution; we have already sue ccoded in manufacturing uitrogcneou matter whose nitrogen originates fron the air. Wo are now only looking foi cheaper methods to give agriculture mountains of nitrogencous matter, manufactured at the cost of thc atmos phere. Still, while seekituj^Gjua, im menso quantities of corojtnercial nitro _"itfwuwis .matter., well fitted for chem! cal fertilizers, is always at our com -maud and will never be wanting fo our real needs. PHOSPHORIC ACID. Iii 1669 an alchemist, of Hamburg discovered a straago substance. I was a yellowish white body, soft a wax, transition!, burning with an odo of garlic and spontaneously, beside giving light in thc dark, a cha'racteristi which in that superstitious agc inspit od terror. You recognize phosphorous Its name is tieri vod from the Cl reel pftos, light and phero, I carry, ot account of thc luminous vapor i spreads in the dark. No indu si ria application being found for this body it long remained a curiosity of th labratory. It is scarcely a blllldrei years since phosphorous was knowi to any but rare adepts in chemistr and they not vuito free fr rom thc sup crstitions attending it. Before the invention of chemien lights in 1815, it was believed a rar substance. No idea of its abuudauc in Mature or the immense importune of it to organized beings was known Agi ieult ure did not suspect, its useful ness and tho first sugar refiners threv away the bono black so rich in phos pilate, and selling now nt so high i ?iricc. Neither animal nor vcgctabl ifo is possible without phosphorous Phosphorous determines both nerve and cerebral activity. Thc spins marrow contains it in larg? proportion and tho beor structure of both mai and animals is formed of phosphorous ii combination with limo and magnesia When phosphorous burns it combine with oxygen and forms pfiosphorii acid. This acid can in its turn oombini with alkaline matters like lime ant magnesia to form phosphates. Phos phatcs of limo is most generally used it making phosphates. A plant in burnt sand will dio with out phosphate of lime. With om hundredth of a grain to two sud a hal Kounds of saud tho plant won't die ut with fifteen grains tito growth ii superb. To make this experiment wt take a very small seed, for if you takt a pea which is a largo seed and con tains much phosphate concentrate? around the embryo, thc plant wit grow and produce seed at tho expense of the first seed sown. But if these seed are sown again, they have not sufficient phosphate to produce a second crop. Phosphorous is then most val m able to vegetation when in combination 4 With limo. TJndor tho soiublo form ol passe? into tho structures of man and animals. Anhydrous phosphoric acid continus 81 of "phosphorous and 40 of oxygen, total 71. In naturo au equiv alent ol' phosphoric acid is always combined with three equivalents of limo. In this state phosphate of lime is insoluble and no val?o to a crop except in certain acid soils, newly cleared, where reaction may render it solublo. lt must be powdered very fine and carefully mixed with thc soil. Natural phosphates arc made soluble hy being treated with sulphuric acid weakened with water. Thou two equivalent*) of lime oro converted Into sulphate of lime and replaced in Hie phosphate by two equivalents of water. Thus the phosphoric acid is now com bined with but one equivalent of lime and water; in this form it ts soluble. This is thc method of procedure: the mineral phosphate of lime or tri oalolquo is ground line and passed through a slcvo. Fifty lo eighty nor cent, of its weight in subphuric acid at ?0 degrees is poured upon it. The mixture is well worked and tho reac tion takes pince. The sulphuric acid attacks the tricalclquo phosphate, takes up two equivalents of lime to form a sulphate of lime and leaves but ono in combination wdth the phosphoric acid. Thc two equivalents of limo tire re placed for thc acid by two equivalents of water borrowed from thc hydrated sulphuric acid. Wc thus obtain a product that is an equivalent of niono calclque phosphate containing two equivalents of water and some sul phato of lime. There are besides in this product certain earthly matters and metallic oxydes which mineral phosphates always contain in more or less quanti ties. This is the impure inono-ealoiquc phosphate or superphosphate of lime of commerce in winch tho phosphoric acid is immediately soluble in water, or at least in the alkaline citrate of ammonia winch is generally used in the making of chemical fertilizers. Its richness in soluble phosphoric acid varies from twelve to fifteen per cent., according to thc composition of the natural phosphate used in making it. Tho superphosphate contains an average of sixty per cent, of an hy di ?ons sulphate ot limo or plaster, which is formed during Hie reaction. Reverted phosphates are those which, soluble in water at thc lime of tho preparation of thc superphosphate, cease to bc at the ead of a certain time from ihe combination of a part of tho phosphoric acid with lite peroxyde of of iron and aluminum which thc natu ral phosphate.-, always contain. It is worth no more than thc precipitated or bienleique phosphate, for the reverted phosphate is only soluble after remain ing a long time in an acid soil. To find bow much phosphoric acid there is in a tricalciquc phosphate, divide by 2.18, and to know now much tricalciquc phosphate to thc quantity of phosphoric acid found, multiply by 2.18. For example: If a superphos phate contains fifteen por cent, of sol uble phosphoric acid, multiply this fifteen by 2.18 and we find "13.70 per cent, of tribasic phosphato contained ?ll thc superphosphate. For many years bones were tito only practicable source of phosphate of lime. Tltey were gotten at first from bone pits made by refuse animals and even went so far as to rille old graves. Eli l'eau u iou i, Professor of Geology at tho school of mines, begged Mr. Joseph Lamballc, the celebrated sur geon, to weigh a good many different skeletons and found that a dry human skeleton weighed an average of nine pounds und contained six pounds of jdiosphatc of lime. From these ligures it was concluded that from the time of thc Gauls to thc present day our mel hod of burying the dead had covered in the French soil an immense mass of phos phorous evual to forty-live millions of pounds of phosphate ?f lime. Rut we need not bc uneasy and moy continue to respect our dead. A few years working of thc numerous de posits of natural phosphates now in France will compensate this loss. Farmers will be bevcral thousand years exhausting thc deposits already found and others arc continually being found. Forty departments in France Jiave de posits oi pho.-phate of lime, ifow work ed. Phosphoric wtd ls found on all cji'A'iva'UHl continents and lu immeasur able quantities. The phosphate of bones is, like manure, but on imperfect fertilizer. Tlic mineral phosphstc alone really enriches the soil. Bones are now only used in preparing a mono-oalcique phosphate to obtain industrial phos phorous. Agriculture really relies on geological phosphates A Balloon ou a Steeple. The Chicago I nier-Ocean's Mon . mouth, Ills., special says: "Thc spec tacle of nu enormous balloon, sweep ing above thc city a few hundred feet drew people from the stores and houses on Thursday afternoon till the streets were ero weed. The excitement become intenso when shortly the air ship swooped down ofTd impaled itself on thc spiro of the Catholic Church near thc public square. The balloon ot once collapsed and a hundred citi zens helped to drag thc concern to thc ground. The basket was empty, bar ring a torn shirt, a sleeve cliff and some branches of oak, indicating a collision wltll tree tops somewhere and thc possible deatli of an nu-onaut. Adi efforts to discover where the bal loon came from and thc name and fate of its occupant bavo been unavailing." A Mean Old General Kouted. Old "General Debility" has been put to flight in Arkansas, witli happy re? suits. From Brinkley, from Webb City, and from Walnut Ridge, Messrs. P. R. Anderson, E. M. Taylor and F. 8. Pinchbeck respectively, write ! that they wore all afflicted with gen eral debility, and received solid benefit from Brown's Iron Bitters.

Ile went lo Hie cellar and b und the lloor covered with human skulls and bones partially covered Willi flesh ill thc hist stage of decomposition. In an Inner room tho coroner found a number of Chin?se engaged in boiling down the remains of Other bodies, while several other Chinamen were engaged in scraping thc boiled bones ?iud paoktllg thom in boxes for shipment to China, lt is estimated that the ?adiar contained over three hundred dead bodies, which had been taken secretly from various cemeteries throughout thc State. As au instance of Chinese ingenuity it is stated that, those in charge of these operations, fearing tho stench from boiling pots would bc so great ns to attract attention outside, had procured two living skunks, so that thc odor of thc latter might overcome that of thc former. Thc coroner has taken charge of all thc remains. This discovery of tho horrible prac tices of thc Chinese In preparing the bones of their dead fellow-countrymen for shipment to China, which has been carried on under the very no*sc of the city authorities, has created a deep and intense excitement. Thc acknowledg ment that snell a mass of putrifaction was lying exposed in thc very heart of tlic city, while at thc same timo thc drainage and sewers of the city arc known to ho ill filthy condition, has caused a feeling of fear for the health of thc city. After all the boxes contain ing the remains of thc dead Chinamen had been removed to the morgue, thc Coroner was interviewed in regard to thc matter. Ho staled that whoa he arrived at thc cellar in which thc bodies were stored, and in which thc pntrificd remains, which bad still to bc boiled, were lying, he set to work to break open thc boxes. There were some sixty bodies in all. Each box contained a till case ill which, carefully wrapped in oil cloths, were a number ol* human bones. Thc smaller bones and long strips of .skin were wrapped up in separate parcels and placed within thc larger ones. On thc outside of each box was a label,bearing Chinese characters, giving the name bf the itead person within, so that the remains could bc identified by relatives in China. Alter having opened several boxes thc Coroner concluded to seize, tho whole lot and remove them to the morgue. Express wagons were called for t?ie purpose. While ttic cases were being placed ill wagons some of them rolled off and tell lo thc pavement, breaking open and exposing thc con tents. The crowd which bad assembled upon learning the canse of tho excite ment, jumped on tho bones mid in their indignation trod them under foot. Thc policed quickly interpose,and thc load ing continued without further inter ruptions. Thc remains were removed to thc morgue. Most of thu boxes containing the remains were on exam ination found to have come from cities in thc interior of thc Blute. Tho re mains were shipped from there to San Francisco in common tea boxes. Those that conic from the interior are boiled and prepared before shipment so that no odor is perceptible on thc route Only those received from Sun Fran cisco cemeteries have tlie llcsh still on them, when brought for preparation to thc cellar, lt was thc intention to to have shipped all those ou thc steamer City ol Poid ii, which .-ails Saturday next, ll is rumored (lint (lie Chinese companies will.bring au notion against thc coroner for a removal of thc boxes and remains. MUItOKlt IN DIXil l l 1.1.1). William Hammond, A Highly Kes|>ected Young Man, Shot Down lu u Neighbor's Var?!. ( From the tidgefifld Advertiser, Sept. /.?) One ol'thc most prominent and hon ored ladies in our county is Mrs. Fannie Prescott Ctllbreath,living near Repub lican Church, on Hie South side. She ls thc only daughter of thc late Capt. Wm. F. Pref 'itt. For two or three years past she has been separated from "ber husband, O. T. Culbrtath, Esq., who. however, lives in the same im mediate ncighbornood. Thc social standing and popularity of Mrs. Cul brealh would forbid us thus publicly mentioning such a lact, were it not, under present circumstances, almost impossible to avoid it. Mrs. Cul breath's children nil live with her. The eldest of these arc agro,vu son and daughter-grown,but still quite young. On Saturday night last young Mem phis Culbreath, the son, wishing to go to spend thc night at thc house' of lils uncle, Mr. Lou Prescott, a few miles oh*', asked Mr. William I lammond, a young gentleman, a friend, and a next-door neighbor, to repair to his mother's house, attend to thc feeding of Hie stock, &c, and guard tho fami ly during thc night. Mr. Hammond, who is 25 or 26 years old and unmar ried, is thc son of Mrs. James 1 lam mond, a widow, living about a mile from Mrs. Culbreath. In the Cnl breath family he was almost as much at home as in his own house, having previously for two or titree years, been in their employas a superintendent. At about 84 o'clock he took one of thc younger children, a little boy who was sick and quite nauseated, out to thc edgo of lite back piazza to vomit. Mrs. Culbreath followed with a lighted Jump. Thc child becoming relieved, Mrs. Cul breath returned into thc house, whilo Mr. 11 am moni I and thc child stepped down a few pnces into tho yard. While there a shot was s.iddonly heard from thc bottom of thc yard, some 20 or 26 yards oil', perhaps, and Mr. Ham? mond fell, mortally wounded-tho left side of his head,face, neck and shoulder being riddled with hallets.
