It is a kind of ease which suits tin; Essex statesman. —Tile people of Cincinnati have laid un a large store of whiskey, and now they arc making a heroic effort to drink' it all before the new tax of 15 cents per gallon is levied upon it. —The now United States Senators will sec their first service during the extra session of March next. The in dependents arc to bo tempted into allegiance to the administration party by offers of good places on the stand ing committees. —A Washington Radical proposes to the Government that the Arling ton estate, formerly the residence of the Lee family, be banded over to the sleek and .pompous Agricultural Bu reau, that its nine hundred acres mav be used to air the “seeds” and digni ties of that superabundant inutility. —TUVqu is said to bo paying his board out of the proceeds of his novel, "Tempest Tossed,” which seems to be a strikingly appropriate arrangement. Beecher’s counsel say they are going to toss him very un comfortably through the testimony of a negro waiter, who Is cognizant of Theodore’s “Inner-consciousness.” —Young Napoleon, placed at the head of his class at Woolwich in rid ing, comes honestly by Ills skill. His father was one on the finest horsemen In Europe, and sot on his horse as though a part of it, while his mother in her younger days, was not far behind her husband, as every one knows who have seen her in hunting parlies at Fontainebleau. - 2 The*A'rk!insns General Assembly lias passed a bill exempting from taxation, for a period of seven years from the ratification of the Constitu tion, “capital that is now or may hereafter be invested and exclusively used in the nmnufaeture of eottoii 1 and woolen goods, yarns, ngrieultu-j ral Implements, in tanneries..in the manufacture of cotton seed oil, in mining and smelting furnaces.” —A fact hns come to light in regard to Carpenter's picture of the signing of the proclamation of emancipation, which has a beuring upon the action of the Appropriation Committee. It appears that this picture has boon offered to the Joint Committee on Library three different times for $15,- 000, and the offer has each time been rejected by the Committee, and now : the Appropriation Committee tuts re ported in favor of paying $25,000. Ullic unit Attlieti tin the Cmuposl lten|>. It is an unpleasant thing to learn : that one ha keen teaching error in the place of truth; but it is some consolation to know that our betters and instructors have been doing the same thing, misleading us, as we have misled others. There is a still greater satisfaction in knowing that we have now taken a step in advance, and can see moro clearly the way be fore ns. We have had frequent oc casions (as what agricultural editor has not ?) to warn our readers against mixing caustic, lime, potash, or wood ashes, with nitrogenous manures, as ammonia would t here by be liberated. Late experiments, carefully conduct ed and appearently conclusive, show that, even if some anemia be liberat ed, there mav take place, under cer tain conditions, a more than compen sating gain, in t lie ease of potash at least, so that i he amount of ammonia Is actually and largely increased, In stead of Wing dtmished. Professor K. W. Johnson, in the New York Tri bune, says that the recent interesting researches of Deheraln confirmed by the experiments made by Armsby at his suggestion, in the Sheffield Laboratory, demonstrating that in a compost of vegetable and animal matters, where free or cdnonaterl alkali is pres ent, nitrogen is taken up from the at mosphere, amounting in one set of trials to fifteen, and in another to nineteen per cent. The substance operated with was a mixture of dried barn-yard manure, with about one fourth of dried flesh. In no ease did any ammonia escape from tne slowly decomposing mass. Experiment has not yet determined so conclusively the action of lime under the same conditions. ONE nUNDBEH BUSHELS FROM A SINOPE 11/TATU. Mr. I). L. Brannlmr, of Jackson ville, Fla., made last fall, before the Duval County Agricultural Society, a statement which suggests wonderful possibilities for the sweet potato in the congenial climate of the South. In 1871, having a specimen which he desired to multiply to the largest possible extent, he first cut it into pieees, one,h with about two inches square of skin. These he planted February 10th, in a rich, warm six.t, which had been occupied as a hog pen. They grew linely, and on May iSth he took from them two hundred and two vino cuttings, which lie planted, and he continued this cut ting and planting till August loth, planting in all something over ten thousand cuttings. The crop was not measured, but experienced farmers, who saw the whole in heaps, as put up for banking, estimated that there was at least one hundred btuthele. That will do for poor, sandy, barren Florida!—tEuraf Carolinian. The Boston Globe has this mention of a rose bush in Newton, Massachu setts: “At the greenhouse of Mr. Mansfield, in Ward Two, there can be seen a white Laoiarquu rose tree, up ward of twenty years old, covering a radius of over one hundred square feet, which hus had a prodigious yield the post season. Since December it has furnished twenty to thirty buds daily, and it is estimated that its yield for the season will he at least 25,000. At $9 per hundred, a profit off 225 will bo realized.” -• ♦ • “What is your name? asked a cen sus taker. “John Corcoran.” "Your age?” “Twenty-one.” "What nativ ity?” “Well, that’s what bothers me. I’ll tell you, and maybe you can make it out. My father was Irish, but is now a naturalized American citizen ; my mother English, and I was horn on a Dutch frigao-, under the French flag in Turkish Waters. Now, how is it?” Never be above your business, no matter what that calling may be, but strive to be the best in that line. He who turns up his nose at his work quarrels with his bread and butter. He fe a woor smith who quarrels with his own]iarks: there is no shame about any honest (ailing. Don’t be afraid about soiling your hands; there is plenty of soap to be had. At a printers’ festival, lately, the following toast was offered; “Wo nMuJEKieond only to the Press in the dissemination of news!” The ladies are yet undecided whether to regard it as a compliment or otherwise. —Alabama has passed a law pre venting the sale of produce between certain hours. Thrs stops the dead fall business, but it interferes with rights of the Alabama nigger—to steal hnd not be caught. p nospiWTr m OF THE New York Weekly Herald.
