"Wonderful man." another would
add. "I never knew his equal."
His wife, too. was regarded In the
same light She seemed to lie consid

of her and marveled at the stories told.
"No snob case was ever beard of 1

The fame of the couple traveled and

Alaike and Crimson Clover.
Atsike. said T. B. Terry at a recent
farmers' institute, makes a nice hay
and is much valued by the beemen. but
It is not as valuable a fertilizer as red
clover, because it does not shade the
ground so much. Crimson clover Is
another valuable plant It is an an
nual, and must be renewed each year.
It should be sown as a crop, and, grow
ing to a late season, will get a good
start in the fall. It begins growing at
an early day in spring, and will be
large enough to cut before June. It is
most valuable when cut and fed direct
from the land, and It Is also valuable
to plow under, as it contains a large
amount of nitrogen. If It will succeed
here, it will be found valuable to bring
land up in fertility.
Pears Made Profitable.
In answer to a question In the Rural
New Yorker, if the coming market for
pears is likely to prove profitable to the
raiser, Messrs. Ellwanger & Barry
make the following judicious remarks:
"The prospect for disposing of a crop
of pears at profitable prices is always
good; we have never had any difficulty
In disposing of ours. The autumn and
winter varieties are the most valuable
because there is never enough to be
found on the market." Tbey further
urge the Importiuiie of well-grown,
carefully graded and well-assorti-d
fruit They name the AnJjn, Clair
geau and Winter Nelis. O rowers can
very easy obtain a reputation for first
class goods, or, on the other band, one

New Yohk June 23. June Addison
Brown, In the United Stales dirtrict
court, banded down bis decision iu the
libel tult instituted by Frank B. Noyes '
of the Washington star against Charles J
A Dana, editor of the New York Sun.
The decision is in favor of Mr. Dana
on ail points and the application for
Mj". Dana's removal to Washington
undu- an indictmeut found by the
grand jury of the District of Columbia
ou March 7 last is denied and the de
fendant discharged. On March 8, Mr.
Dana was held by Commissioner Shields
in this city upon the indictment men
tioned. William M. La fan, mauaer
of the Sun, was included la the indict
ment, but was at the time absent from
the country. Applica'ion was mads
for the removal of Mr. Dana to Wash
ington, there to be tried, the allegation
being that Noyes bad been libeled In
Washington. The Indictment contained
three counts, first, that tbe Sun Print
lug and Publishing company was a
New York corporation, engaged in the
publication of the San; that Mr. Dana
was the responsible editor of the paper
that Mr. Lafan was the manager there
of; that in their respective capacities
tbe one had composed and procured
for publication editorial articles in the
paper and the other had published and
told the itaues of the paper in various
places, among them the city of Wash.
Ington, containing the libelous matter
complained of, entitled; -The Work of
Rascals."
Tbe other counts are of the same
purport, substantially, except that they
make no reference to the publication
f the paper In New York, or to any
sets of the defendants in New York,
but aver that the defendants did "at
tbe District of Columbia write and
publish and procure to be written,'
etc. The question pf Mr. Dana's . re
tnoval to Washington was elaborately
argued before the district court with
the result of the denial of the applica
tion. In his decision, wlnoli Is very
long, Judge Brown sajts: "The indict
ment charges that the alleged libel was
published both in Sew York and
Wssington, but the facts stated in the
indictment, and the slight evidence
taken before the commissioners are
lufficient to show that whatever Mr.
Dana had to do with the publication
of the Sun February 22, containing the
alleged libelous matter, was done in
New York.
