Salt as a Fertilizer.
Chloride of odium, or common salt,
is a ,compeun of one equivalent of
chlorine to on of sodium. When pure,
100 parts of salt contain 39.66 parts of
odium to &L34 of chlorine. As a
Manure, in Europe, salt has been used
for nearly 200 years, and is used there
;low to stiffen the stalks of the growing
cereals, and aiso as a preventive of rust.
Experience has shown that it is not al-
ways a remedy, especially on lands

'What' is Said. about the Fast
Horses at Saratoga.
A letter from ,Saratoga speaking of
,4 the - fast trotters, has the , following
gossip: ,
in these horses, there is nothing to
•
excite much admiration.. Rartes is a
tall bey , with white hind. feet; Edwin
Forrest is. a sort of lion or bison -shaped
b4- horee,,, thick and almost humpy
through the shoulders and with a.
'droepeag rump, and neither long nor
high to look at. Hopeful is a spotted
white Or light grey, rather frail and
ribby, and is the property of a - lady,
Mrs. Alfred W. Richmond, wife of Dean
RiehmOnd's aim, whose husband. pre-
sented her with the arnimel. She, was
on thegrand. stand to-day„sitting among
the wives of the stockholders.. This

- these horses arethorbughbrede,
all are suepeoted of having some

the Akterican man, however, betrays
his bi.*, after he has distinguished him-
self. To look at ., these roadsters. with
- theirlegs ,bandaged in loather and. their
general ewant of seirit or style, one
would say that speed was nomatter of

Where the Precious Metals Go.
The quantity of gold and silver em-
ployed in the arts is very much greater
than is generallyaupposed. The best -
authorities agree that during the ten
year ended December 31st, 1876, there
were a hundred. millions in gold, and
an equal sum in silver, consumed inthe
arts in Europe alone. Thisis at the
rate of ten millions a year for -each of •
the two metals, and involves the use
of sixteen tinies as much silver as gold.
The immense quantities of silver ab-
sorbed in Asia; North America, South
America, Africa, Australasia, and Oce-
anica are not included.in the foregoing
estimate, but it is quite probable that
Asia consumes more silver in the way
of ornaments than Europe and North
America combined. Within the past
decade it is safe to assume that the
quantity of .gold employed in the arta
has been more than doubled. Prior to
our late eivil• wax there were but few
millions in this country, and hot a
great many in any ether. Instances of
enormous individual wealth were rare,
and subjects of special remark. At the
present time millionaires are so plentiful
that quite il, rivalry exists ,among - them
to outshine one another. Gold plate,
gold sPeone, gold mountings, • &c., in
fact, gold ie splashed over everything
about their households. Elaborate dis-
plays of this character, have incited
persons. of smeller means and feeble
determination to do something of the
same sort, and almost every woman one
meets now -a -days 1 is harnessed by a
monstrous gold chain around. her neck,
another around her waste, heavy brace-
lets of the same metal on her wrists,
and a gold medallion as big as an Indi-
an ehield suspended oyer her bosom,
while her fingers and ears glitter
with gents set in gold'. Gold.
watches and chains, and gold -
headed canes are in vogue among
the men. It is within bounds to infer
that the,employment of gold for orna-
ments and the eats has been decreased
two -fold within the last .ten years, and
can not now amount to less than twen-
ty millions a year. Now, if the quan-
tity lost by fire, shipwrecks, abrasion,
and all other causes be taken into ac-
count, the total amount to be deducted
from its 1 employment as Money will
fully equal one-third of all produced
each year. This appears to be a some-
what exaggerated statement, but we be-
lieve it quite susceptible of proof. If it
be oven approximately correct, the ser-
vice of silver aa an acoessary to gold in
the shap of money will be at once :ap-
parent. Furthermore, wlaen the gold-
hoardin operations -of European na-
tional banki, and of the United States,
are considered., the use of silver as a
ready end world. -wide acceptable me-
dium of exchange -will become still
more evident.- On the 14th of March
last the cash and bullion reserve in the
national banks of Europe were as fol-
lows; viz: Bank of France, $395,500,-
000 ; Bank of England, $122,140,000;
Imperial Bank of Germany, $130,000,-
000 ; Austrian Bank, 7O,000,000;$Bel-
gium and Netherlands Bank, $73,000,-
000. Total, $790,640,000. In addition
to which. the United States Treasury
held over $120,000,000 in gold coin • and
gold bullion; making a grand total of
0910,640,000. About one-tenth of the
sum held in the banks of Europe was
in silvee. Wit bi the greatly increased
use of gold in ,the arts there has been a
correiponding consumption of silver for
the Same purpose, and the yield. from
all sources at the present time is by no
means in excess of actual requirement.

The G-reat Exhibition in Paris.
It was in the name of agriculture that
the International Exhibition has been
decreed, and this time it has been hon-

that ofI,)1867 was a fallen. In the exhi-
bition f breeding cattle, perhaps, 011 the
whole, the show is not superior to that
of 1855. Despite the reputation of the
French for lucidityaf clas ification and
simplicity of organization ere is eel:fro-
thing to be desired in the way Of more
conveniett grouping—exhibits are diver-
sified, but this is in great part owing to
the requirements of the general contest.
