The proportionate culture of grass may be taken as a measure of the prosperity of agriculture, asserts the New York Time*. Grass conservea^fehe fertility oi the soil, while the growth of grain crops expends it. Prince Bismarck recently gave a fete to his servant* and tenants at Friedrichs- ruhe to celebrate the despatch to Berly of 5000 telegraph-poles cut in his forests. Bismarck has supplied Germany with 100,000 telegraph-poles during the last ten years. The value of the fertilizers used by farmers amounts to a yearly sum of about $50,000,000. It IWM mom than half this •um in 1880, and the trade has certainly doubled in extent since then. In North Carolina the tax on fertilizers yields more than $40,000 yearly.

Bureau hm issued TT report ou The^taTus ^ of the German population. There are in ! the empire now about 45,000,000 people, j tmt this giliclal believes that the country \ can support a very large addition to the present number without any trouble. Statistics and Becommendations From Major-General Schofield. Major General J. M. Schofleld, command- ing the United States* Army, has made his Rrst annual report to the Secretary of War. The past year, be stays, has been one of peace among the Indians formerly so troublesome in the Division of the Pacific. Tho troops of the Division of the Atlantic have been fully and constantly occupied, especially the artillery, with heavy seacoast gun*. The progress already raado gives grounds for confidence that th» troop* will be fully prepared to handle effectively weapons of molern construction and of ibe largest calibres as soon as such weapons can be made ready to ba placed in their hands. A moderate inereas« in the numerical strength in the force to handle the new Runs will be indispensable. General Scho- fleld renews the recommendation made in his last report for the Division of the Atlantic, that two regiments be added to the artillery, without any ma- terial chsige in the number\ of officers, ne- cessitating the addition of about five thou- sand to the number of enlisted men to the number now allowed bv law. Attention is called to the report of the commanding officer of the infantry and cav- alry school, stating that a number of young officers have, without adequate excuse, failed to meet the professional requirements of that institution, and submitting that those officers have proved themselves incom- petent and are thus debarred from regular promotion. He recommends that no officer who has been officialty reported by his com- manding officer lor disability or other iucom- pet»»ncy shall be promoted to a higher grade until hfe shall have passed a satisfactory ex- amination. Hemgg^&tsks&aimportantteftddi- tion to the duties now performed by army officers detailed for general militaty educa- tional purposes to colleges that they may practically instruct in s3a cost defence such portion of the National Guard as may be organized for that branch of the public sar- vjce. Referring to the fortifications General ScbofleUi says that during the past twenty years the necessities of the service in the Indian country have caused the posts along the seaboard and northern lakes to be correspondingly neglected. The barracks and quarters as [weilasthe fortifications have been left in many cases to fall into a state of decay. The tune and circtmistaTnra norrseetrr peculiarly favorable to placing the sea coast and fron- tiers of the country in a state of security. Reference is made to the impairment of the efficiency of the army through absence of officers from their regiments or corps. It is said that the service would be greatly bene- fited if such officers as are disabled could be retired and their places filled by young and active men. J lie r-i*«jrt says that there were 2430 deser- tions from the army during the past year and th_at theAverage &L dpswrfcions for f«.nh of the last five years were 10. -i per cent, of the entire enlistoi strength or 51.5 per cent, during the whole period. (ieneral SehonVid recommends that at least half the pay of soldiers hereafter enlisted be retained until they have fulfilled their con- tract of service—making exception in tire Tourists abroad complain that the de- lightful calm and quiet of Heidelberg, the great German university town, has Efiven way to noise and manufacturing bustle. A number of tall chimneys injure the view from the castle grounds and the [ fearful foghorn fro n various tugs dis- I turbs the quiet of the Neckar. j The newspaper is the most penetrat- j ing and pervasive agent^>f «ivBizatk>n. j ' \Jfi\ Persia, w^tefeftgneuSuralimplements I are of the same pattern that they were [ in Abraham's day and the natives were j greatly astonished at the sight of a | •wheelbarrow, they have a newspaper j which appears whenever it can get any j news not too dangerous to publish. ] The libel suit has not been introduced ! yet. | Harrison Weir, a famous English ar tist, proposes that the common bantam fowl, that most pugnacious of birds, j shall no longer be confined to the poul- i try yard, but shall be delivered to the care of the game keeper and allowed to return to \a state of nature.\ \Let it roost in the trees, defend itself in... ita i ownfashioj,\ says he, \and it will in a ! very short time pass from poultry into game.\ There is a compla r nt that the new movement among women has produced a dearth of the maiden aunt. Instead I of devoting her time and strength to the j needs of lier relatives she is writing, or j clerking, or teaching, or in any other direction devoted to the enlargement of iier Bpherer^llrof whieh 4» pleasant for—L the maiden aunt, but inconvenient to her relatives, who feel us. affectionate claim upon-her services without pay. Statistics of mining accidents include some of the oonsequence flowing there- from. Thus, in the lirst anthracite dis- tricTof J PennsyTvama, \during\ the single month, of September, iliere were eleven fatal accidents, which we are told, <4 made five widows and fifteen orphans.\ That is not an especially bad return a3 mining records go,but the figures suggest cases oFmen known to devote their pay to tho support of dependent relatives, and thit it hi' made practicable in time of peace for an enlisted man to dissolve his contract of enlistment in amune r honorable to himself and ,iust to the Government by obtaining a discharge, with forfeiture of so much of his retained pay as ,may be necessary to reim-^ burse the I'nited States for expenses. Instructions in rifle and carbine practice have been successfully conducted during the year with favorable results, and it is now proposed to require increased attention to pistol practice. In conclusion General Schofleld recom- mends liberal appropriations for tho Signal Service proper and the strengthening of the military posts ou or near tho great Indian reservations. In a report to the major-general command- ing Adjutant-General Drum calls attention to the evil of desertion, which, he says, re- sults principally from dissatisfaction with army life and its restraints, restlessness with -recklessness xtf obligations assumed, and TI desire ta secure transportation to distant and supposed favorable points in the West. De- sertion/he says,\ can ne ver \be eradicated, but „ ays, , fntryT^greatlyTessened by the adoption of remedial Tneasnre^r ^ucb ^ s the redaction of the term of service from five to three years and the right to purchase discharga. •During the past year there were 24,710 appli- cants lor enlistment, 1K,O17 of whom were re jeeted. The accepted recruits embraced 727 colored, 4130 natives and 2537 foreigners. The Adjutant General says that notwith- standing every effort has been made, so far as the recruiting appropriation would war- rant to secure the necessary recruits to fill the army, it is still more than 1800 below the authorized strength of 25,000 enlisted mea, and many of the regiments are greatly r»- duced. THE ARMY AND NAVY. Filled^ by the President-\EJect.
