Hubbard, assist ant postmaster of the Chicago office and is being mailed to postmasters throughout the country for their en dorsement. The plan in substance, calls for the issunance by the pentoffice system of postage stamp certificates being re deemable at any postoffice in stamps or in Cash at 1 per cent discount. Per sons wishing to remit small amounts through the mail could then, instead of buying stamps, buy one of the certificates, and having endorsed their own name and the name of the payee on the reverse side, could post them in the ordinary manner. It is stated that this method of remittance is almost as safe as the money order, but its main advantage is for the merchant who dues a large mail order busi ness receiving most of their remit tances in stamps. Many of these stamps are so gummed up that the average firm loses about 5 per cent of their value to say nothing of ihe trouble of handling them. Tue scheme has been endorsed sev eral times by the national convention of postmasters and 's! is nsjlY being sclft, out u> pc/stHiarfPersfc for their at > proval.

Attorney General Hart has decided two interesting questions of law re ferred to him by Secretary of State Rhii Cook. Iu the code of Georgia there are two sections relating to the fees to be charged for granting a charter to a navigation company. On 6 section provides that the fee shall be SSO and the ether provides for a fee of SIOO. Attorney General Hart held that the fee of SIOO was the last act passed, it repealed the former act, and that the SIOO was the proper fee. The other decision was whether an extension of time on a, charter granted a railr ad was anew charter or an X amendment. The holding of the attor ney general, was that when such an extension was granted it was an am endment to the charter, and the Sec retary of State had the authority to collect sls for the fee.

THE KILLING OF CAPTAIN TOWNSEND New York Herald Gives Full Account of the Murder of the Popular Sea Captain, The following is a portion of an ar ticle taken form the New York Her ald about the shooting of Capt. Town send in Brooklyn last week: * “There was a dispute over $3 which the stewart claimed was due him by the captain. "About noon the stewart visited the vessel aud chatted with Nicholas Far enr;on, a cigar dealer and lil'e-long friend of Capt. Townsend. After talk ing about twenty minutes, Burneff said he was going doiwn to the cap tain's cabin to seo if he intended pay ing the $3 duo him. Burneff, Faren son says, was gone about twenty min utes, when ho reappeared on deck, and after saying good afternoon left the | ship. * C. F. Pembroke, tho schooner’s mate soon after had occasion to go to the cabin. He had scarcely enter ed the doorway when he rushed on deck aud summoned the crew. The captain was found dead with his head resting on the fioor aud his feet up four steps on the stairs, show ing that he had been shot as he was about as cending to the deck. No attempt at robbery was made, as $<S3 iu hills and a $l5O gold watch were louud iu Capt. Townsend’s pocket. Frank Burneff, who murdered Capt, Townsend was caught on the Bowery us ho was com ing out of a cigar store. Detectives slipped handcuffs on him before ho knew he was caught. At police head quarters iu Brooklvn ho made this statement: T admit that 1 killed Capt. Townsend and 1 am glad he is dead and that 1 didn't make a botch of it. He was a mean commander and I stood him until endurance gave way.” “Capt. "Mac” Townsend, as lie was familiarly called by his friend,s, was one of the quietest and most peace able men we ever knew, and from the above it looks like tke murder was a deliberate aud cold blooded atfaii. The deceased was a brother of Cap'.. John C. Townsend, who was lost with his vessel, the schooner J. C. Wood hull. on the coast several years since.

Proper Depth to Cover, When to 9ow* Soil. Etc- It is yet too early t > plant wheat, but not too early t< begin the preya ration of the land. This should reallyj have been eommenr-d last spring out Uind intended for wheat this fall. Land which was well manured aipi thoroughly broken up last spring foe some other crop, so soon u* tha f crop has been gathered, is already fai on tho way to being all that is needed to make good wheat land. Soil. The first essential is to select for, sowing in wheat a suitable soil, one in which loam and clay predominate, which Is much improved by a large proportion of lime, furnished by eith er nauno or man. The soil must be dry, underdrained if necessary, since a large crop of wheat, cannot be mad® if there is an excess of water in the land. A good wheat soli must also have abundance of nitrogenous ma.tr ter. with a sufficiency of phosphoric acid, potash ami lime. If these ele ments are lacking, use plenty of barn yard manure. What wo say about cotton Is also true of wheat. It is betted to imt 500 pounds of your commercial fertilizer on one acre than to spread it over two, for thu* one can make the same amount of wheat with less labor. Preparation. In preparing . nil lor wheat, one of the chief objects is to keep the veg etable matter and mineral portions as near or as much on the surface as possible, so Unit the roots of the plants may strike out horizontally, in stead of going down in a more verti cal direction. A thin, mellow stratum of rich soil should be kept at or near the surface. Subsoil, as the conditions demand. | A good seedbed must he prepared by thoroughly plowing, fertilizing, narrowing, raking, pulverizing and rolling tho land. Proper Depth to Cover Wheat. Exp-'i'imenis have proven that seed wheat, must not he planted too deep and It has hern suggests! by many who have given the subject a careful study, that it is hotter to harrow the wheat and fertilizer in from one to three inches deep, according to the character of the soil, which, if close and heavy, will require a thinner cov* firing than If it is light or sandy. When to Sow Wheat. It is best to put the seed in as lata in tho season as it can be. and still have sufficient time to throw out a system of roots and leaves largo jnpugh to cover the ground before the cold blizzards come upon It. **
