It has been a common mistake in *he i past to forget that about «> per cent of! the feeding valne of coni comes direct from the sunshine and air. and when these art* excluded the full feeding value 1 of the crop <-aunot be obtained. Many still mow from two to four bushels of corn seed to the acre to make it thin line for fodder, but the beat results are obtained when only eight or twelve quarts are used to the acre. This should be planted in drilla. and then the air and sunshine have a chance to circulate through the plants. Another practice ih to sow tire corn thickly, and then thin it oat for feeding purposes after it has reached a fair height. The fault with this method is that the stalks left re maining ore deprived of their full grow ing powers at a time when they are most needed One week of the first life of a jorustalk is worth nearly three weeks at the close of its life, and if it is crowded when it is young its highest feeding value will never be obtained by thinning xxt the stalks when they are half or three-quarters grown. rv> (M., Aug. 5.—I Special — „f i.ibner, now comes for- "ith a startling prohibition ,t in t*-«- shape of a bill which in it the power to make Geor- tl injiior state.

It hardlv seems possible for us to have seen u> ranch in two weeks, and ■otnetimes I feel like the little old wo man, who said, “sorely this is none of I-” I have to pinch myself to really see if l am the same girl. We have been traveling since Tues day, but we stopped every night and one day. so we were not at all tired. The first night we apeut at the watering place, Aix-Ia-Bains? The next night in Genoa, we stayed at a lovely little hotel, with a dower garden right out of °ur window. We spent there part of the next day riding all over the city which is beantiful, and the treacherous Meduerrauian looks as smooch as glass and as blue as the sky. This is our first glimpse of mo Italian city, and we were horrified by the dirt and poverty of the place- But Genoa is dean and rich compared with Pisa, as we saw that af ternoon. We took a walk about sunset and I never saw such people. The treets were lined with them,and I was very glad when we got back to the ho tel. The next morning we went to the leaning tower about which yon know, so I will not attempt to describe it. The Cathedral is another place of interest; the court is made of earth from Calva ry. 1 pulled a flower here as growing on Calvary, but 1 hardly believe that it is true. In this Cathedral is the chandelier, from which Galileo deduced his laws of the pendulum. We saw also the house in .wtieh he was born. It isn’t much, but I notice that none of the great men had great beginning. On Wednesday v- passed through fif ty-four tunnels, but in going from Geuoa to Pisa, a ride of four and a half hours, we passed through one bun. dred and five. Mt. Cenis tunnel is eight miles long and it .took thirty minutes to come through, but when we were through the scenery was grand. Looking out one window we would see little villages hundreds of feet be low us, while on the other side would be the snow-capped mountains reach ing almost to the sky. This morning we have been to the different places, and this aiternoou we go to St- Peter’s Cathedral, l am not in tlic least disappointed in Home, in fact, i am charmed with it. It is much more modern than 1 exp'-cted to fiud it; they have very handsome buildings, and the King’s palace is magnificent. We have not i»“en inside of it yet for it is only open ed on Thursdays anti Sundays. Hum bert and Marguerite left Rome last night so we will miss seeing them. 1 am very sorry, for they say he is very partial to Americans. Our guide, Conti, is a most intellectu al map, and so much nicer than our London gu.de, 1 know we will see Rome We start FLORIDA PHOSPHATES. Were Discovered by on Old Athens Boy—Everybody Knows Him Here. Everybody in Athens knows Mr Dunwoody Jones. It is interesting to know that he was first to discover the Florida phnspuate beds. Speaking in this connection a Thom asvule man said yesterday: “The full tale of the phespbato rock has never been told, and new iLvclop- lueota of the wealth and treasure that it >s bringing this section an* constant ly coming out. About thirteen months ago Mr. Duuwoody Jones having made up iiia mi ml from observation a il in vestigaliou that he bad disco -red a bed of phosphate rock, indu-ed v ral of his friends to go with him i o the enterprise.

Since its organization th corn bands of the committee on temperance with a favorable report, while the bill to repeal the paving lawa of Athens is given a black eye. The temperance committee met at three o’clock to discuss the dispensary hill. Speeches in its fa vor weie made by Messrs. Andrew J. Cobb, E. R- Hodgson, T. S M. II, W. A. Jester, T. L. Gantt and E. T. Brown. The committee then re turned a favorable report. The other bill was introduced by re quest of Col. Morton at the last session, and provided for the abolishing of the sidewalk paving laws of the city. The committee on county affairs re turned this,bill to the House with an unfavorable report. This committee’s action practically ettles the matter. The dispensary bill will be passed and the other bill is dead.

NewYorx, Ang. 5.—The Commercial Bulletin says cm the Backer failure: "The nominal assets, it is said, exceed the liabilities, and if' properly managed it is claimed ought to pay all the debts and have a margin for Backer. The Alabama state bonds, amounting to $750,000, are said to be worth the full fall amount, and although hypothe cated, there is a considerable margin over and above the amount loaned on them. The Georgia Southern and Florida and Macon and Birmingham railway bonds, amounting to $1,500,000, are par value, and ought to come out all right in time.

There is. however, quite a gen eral reluctance to plow under a green crop for its fertilising properties, when l^* letting it stand a few days longer a remunerative crop of grain might be re alized from it Plowing under a green crop of any description is one of the ways for putting a soil into a good condition for the best results from the use of com mercial fertilizers, and in the case of a poor field that is to be reclaimed the farmer most determine for himself the variety be can use most economically Buckwheat plowed under in the foil, to be succeeded by rye plowed under in the spring, would furnish as much vegetable matter for the purpose as can be made available in the same length, of time, and it simply becomes a question of sacrificing two crops as fertilizers when both sze the fight. The resolutions indicate the line npon which the lottery Democrats will make their campaign, and that they right, under hia guidance out in the morning after breakfast, stop for lunch and then go all of the after noon.

It surpasses the wildest dreams of imagination, and a person who has not seen it, can hardly realize what a temple made with hands may be. Have your expectations raised to the highest pitch, and you will not have to lower them in the least. In size and beauty it surpasses every chnreb in the world. At first you cannot get any idea of its size because such attention was paid to having the parts in exact proportions, that nothing stands oat to advantage. But after a while yon will begin to realize its Fastness. It was built, you know, on the site of Nero’s garden, here where he persecuted so many Christians, and tradition says St Peter was crucified there. On one aide of the church is a statue of St. Peter sitting in a chair with hia foot oat, and his toes are almost worn off from being kissed. The^ up in the end ia a huge bronze, chair called St. Peter’s chair, inside of which is the wooden chair he really used, but it is only opened once ih a century. In the chap el of Confession are parts of the bones of St. Peter, Sc. Paul, and St. -John. There are twelve pillars from the tern pie of Solomon up in the baloontes In one of these balconies they claim to have the spear with which Christ was pierced, bat that is only shown on festival occasions, so 1 am afraid we will not see it.
