A HOMEMADE MANURE,
We extract the following frogi a com*
munication to the Selma Southern Argus.
We have the finest portion of the world
for oar inheritance, and the only land to
which millions of gold can be drawn with
out sending a dollar’s worth of the soil’s
virtue in return. Our. cotton seed is a
multiplying gold mine, which hitherto has
not been appreciated, but if we do not soon
realize their importance, other countries
will possess them. And here I may re~
mark that as usually applied, two-thirds
or more of their virtue is lost, and it may
not be valueless to give some directions
for making a compost, iu which every
pound of ooMon seed or stable manure is
made to be worth three times as much as
when used in tiie ordinary ways. The fol*
lowing is the plan used by my father in
permanently enriching his lands in Vir
ginia, and which has been tried by many
in Alabama, with the most gratifying re
sults:
1. Build a -four square’ rail pen, about
six feet high’
2. In the‘ bottom put a layer six inches
deep of muck, or top soil from fence corners
or woods.
3. On this layer of soil put two inches
of cotton seed or |table manure.
4. If to be had put on this one inch of
ashes.
Low Frtees.
5. Having previously dissolved a bushel
ot salt in about three barrels es water, with
this water slake one barrel of quick lime,
ar.d with this salt and lime water wet the
layers which have been put down.,
6. Repeat the courses in order, viz: six
inches muck, two inches cotton seed or
manure, one inch ashes (if at hand) and
salt and lime water; after the pile is suffi
ciently high, top with eight inches muck
or top soil; and if practicable, shelter the
pen, When ready 7 to apply take down one
side or more of the pen, and with a sharp
grub hoe shaVe down the heap from top to
bottom, so as to cut the materials fine and
mix the layers, One quart of the compost
is worth as much as the, same amount of
cotton seed, and the dirt has been, made as
good as the seed. This is the cheapest and
best fertilizer that can be used. No farmer
should waste his seed or stable manure by
applying in the ordinary way*
For such planters as may not find the
time and labor to make such compost, or
who may need more than they can manus
facture, Col. Gilliam, . Philip St.
George Cock, Professor of Agricultural
Science at the Virginia Military Institute,
.will prepare and have sold in Mobile, Selma
and Montgomery, this winter a chemical
preparation by use of which every farmer
can manipulate his cotton seed into a fer
tilizer in his own gin-house, at a cos-t of
not more than S3O per ton; and this home
made fertilizer will, be worth more, than
the mo3t of commercial-manures. It -.will
pay better than anything ever before offer
ed to the
most valuable and scientifically prepared
article, 1 induced Col. Gilham to make for
me and my friends about Tuscaloosa, this
spring, a complete cotton fertilizer, which
has been thoroughly tesjed there this sea
son. Although that.region has. suffered by
a most extraordinary drougnt, Gilliam’s
fertilizes has excelled all others, and paid
from one to two hundred per cent, on the
investment, and containing every element
of.fertility, it hqp made cotton on land that
was entirely barren. .
It will afford me mnch pleasure to corns
nmnicate with any persons who may de
sire anything further on these subjects.

A Splendid Prize for ths Laoies.—The
finest most pleasing and costly engraving
ever published in America, to be presented
as a premium to subscriber to
est’s Monthly Magazine of practical utility
in the household, a mirror ®f fashions and a
literary conservator of surpassing interest
and artistic excellence, acknowledged to be
the model parlor iftpgazine of America.
The engraving, 28 by 35 inches, is from
'the original painting entitled, “The Pic-Nic
on tlie 4th July.” •,* *
The painting took a whole.year, and is
considered the finest of the.,entire list of
numerous popular productions by Lilie M.
Spencer. The engraving was the labor of
four years, by three-eminent artists—John
Rogers, John Hatpin and Samuel jjoUyer;
the last named having been induced to come
from Europe to America expressly to finish
it. Theengr&vers have ably seconded the
successful labors of .the painter. None but
artists can fully appreciate the skill and
labor lavished on this engraving. The gen
eral effect is very fine and impressive, and
the delicate finish to the heads will hear
the most minute inspection. The union of
the line and stipple is executed with unu
sual ability and their skillful combination
lias greatly contributed to the succss of,
the engravers in this unsurpassed proof of
their artistioal genius.
The work on the engraving alone cost
over seven thousand dmlars, besides the
cos ( t of tile copyright and is acknowledged
by competent judges the most elaborately
finished large work of art ever engraved in
America.

gle subscribers by any publisher apd
affords an easy and economical way for
any one to secure an elegant work of art, a
Parlor Picture that is only next to a piano
in the of ormentation, and a perpetual
reminder ot allay which ought to be cher

A HORROR AT SEA.
SUICIDE OF OVER F<'UR HUNDRED COOLIES
Correspondence N. Y, World.
Havana. Nov 11.— A “drama of the son”
that scenes of horror mitt incidents of
death, stands forth with unfortunate pro
minence, has just been brought under pub
lic notice here.
Since Sunday, two vessels' carrying eon
lies have arrived—the Salvadorian ship
Macau, with 400 ‘Colonos Asiaticos,’ and
the French Bark, Tarnarif*, with onhbsrxtv-.
eight. It, is upon the latter vessel lliaL the
‘drama’ occured.
Having left Maeao for Havana on Feb
nary 6, wi,th Three hundred indentured
Chinese, a Chfnese doctor, Portugimse in
terpreter, a captain and a crew of eighteen
men, the vessel sailed to within iHO mikes
of Java without anything notable happen
ing on board; but tlien and there the in
dentured Chinese revolted and killed the
captain (Rannie,) and the interpreter.
_ The crew, powerless to resist the infn>
riated Celestials, took to the boats.• which
they launched, and then abandoned the
vessel.
They wore fortunate enough I*o reach
Java in a few days, and reported the affair
to the Dutch authorities,
A Dutch war vessel was at once sent in
pursuit of the Tamris, but had to cruise'
tor. her thirty days before meeting her*—
After a slight resistance the mutinied Chi
nese in possession of her surrendered, arid
the Chinese, captain and other Chinese of
ficials installed on board after tlie crew
abandoned her, as well as the majority of
the other’Chinese on tnfard, were loaded
with*chains and kept in the hold '
The 1 arnaris was then conveyed to P;i«
dang, where anew captain (Casolis) and
thejold crew of eighteen men were put on
board, and then she started once more for
Havana*
Os the 300 cOolies- taken on-nt Macao,
fifty-five perished in the linftiny and iii re
sisting the Dutch war vessel, so:'i'h"<li the
second start was made with only 245 coo
lies on board.
When these coolies ascertained that the#
were after ail to be taken to Cuba, they
became desperate, and at every opportu
nity jumped overboard. Many, deprived
of the opportunity to* drown themselves,
committed suicide by actual starvation:’
This felo ds Stj-ing continued nearly the
whole voyage, so that when the Tamavis
reached Havana she had, as stated, onlv
sixty .•eight, Chinese on board—no less that*
232 having perished during- the eventful
voyage of nine months’ Juration.
It is useless to add-that the trip lias been
a losing one! to those) who chartered the
vessel and indentured the con'Hes, - •
El Cazador.
The Championship.— With all duo respect
for Mr. Boyle, of New York, and in justice
to m . John Grubb,* bf this city, w« --must,
say that Mr. Boyle’s effort to retain ‘he
championship of America as the fastest ve
locipede rider, is an extremely Jarne one,
after having entered the race and lost. It
was announced, weeks beforehand, that
the race was for $250 in gold and the chains
pionshtp of America and,with this distinct
understanding on the part*of the public &ud
Mr. Grubb! the j-ace „came off, and Mr.
Boyle lost. He excuses his defeat on the
play-of illness, but sti.ll claims the cham
pionship. If he tvas jll, which we do toot
deny, he should not have entered the race
until he was in proper condition, or should
have publicly announced to the crowd that he
would do his best,under the circumstances;
but not with the understanding that lie Was
riding for the championship. If he really
thinks he is entitled to the distinction. Mr.
Grubb, in his card ot yesterday, gives, him
a beautiful chance to make his title good,
and if he fails or refuses to accept ilie
challenge, he rnust surjender the chaifipions
ship which he so tenaciously endeavors to
hold after he has fairly lost it.
, The fact is, Grubb,/.‘.waked up” this New
York velocipedest, who hadooutemptously
remarked that he could beat, auy of the
“Georgia jumpers and sleep op his machine
while doing so.;” and the gotnl of it is,
Grubb can do it again, and tn the tune of
SSOO or $ 1,000. Who thinks otherwise?—

A,gentleman in, New York proposes to

no contribution greater than one .dollar

Never Say Die.—From the telegram
from Washington to. day we judge, that
Aody Johnson lias nailed the above motto
to his ruast. He is going to boon, hand
this winter at Washington!to give the
Radicals the.best he has in shop as, a
geuerilla. Very well. We ."would ♦ have
prefered his making the fight in the Sen.--
ate, bui better outside than not at all.
We don’t euro a fig for his “making
Rome howl,” etc., but we do want the truth
of history told, as we believe he alone can
do it. It he can add one mite to th.e pows
er that all patriots invoke against those
who have so wickedly thiown away .a
pearl richer than all, their tribe, we give
him God speed in the endeavor. For John
son’s fight for Johnson we have no special
sympathy, lint when Johnson fights for the
good ot ihu people and theuv country, he is
bound to have our warmest wishes for a
splendid victory.

Yerger case, says ‘ ‘*Tne lawyers on hoth
sides are inuin. Those .-on the part ofYers

the District,) have doubtless conducted the 1
case with a single eye, to the interest c|
their client. They can, at any, moment)
move for the issue of the writ of habeas coir*

court would decide favorably: .Congress
could not, sil this day, and under the cur**

Upon the whole, it is evident that Mr. Yera

his neck in no danger—thanks (it may be)
