MORNING, DEs EMBER 25. 1890.

GIVE publishedIyesterday, Card signed "Obsta
Principals" to the Speaker of the House
of Deegates-and alledging the neligbility of si.-
ting member from Loudoun the ground of his be
ing Postmaster. The reader will see the course
taken in the House Yesterday by Mr. Caldwell the
member alluded to. 1t appears that he had held an
ofRce-one of those ncons derable and Improbable
places of postmaster, which citizens sometimes arc
prevailed upon to accept for the convenience of their
neghbors-and that he resigned it before the election
Our views in publishing The Gard addressed to the
Speaker, were simply these: IF the member alluded
to, ,oas Postmaster he ineligible and ought to
be evicted-if he was not Posi- master the best wav
was to give him the opportunity of meeting publicly,
charge which already. privately bruited about.
We have noticed, with much satisfaction the in
dications of the House of Delegates in favor of an
Appropriation to the Petersburg Rail Road Compa
ny. The bill proposes terms which are altogether
favorable to the State, and more So than have been
offered on any past occasion The intrinsic merits
Of the improvement, should recommend it to the ia
vorable consideration OF every section of the State
while the enterprise which the Company has mani
Tested is calculated to aid the cause of Improvement
generally, and for this additional reason should
be cherished. 20 it would seem apparent
that those who expect the Common wealth to under
take their schemas of improvement, State expense
cannot properly refuse their aid to company which
proposes to effect good public work joint EXPENSE
In the latter instance, the State has he best of all
securities that the improvement is both advan' eous
and will be iudicously conducted; and this security
is greater, dreci ratio with the ca pital which is
required In the present instance, we are satisfied
that he investment will be profitable; and the bill is
framed, that there is reasonable prospect of the
States receiving profit before there will be any ac
tual expenditure

SEAsONABLE HINTS.

A good Garden is almost as necessa-
ry an appendage to farm, and as useful
to family, as a cellar to dwelling
house, a fire place to kitchen, or a
bucket to well of water. Where a
well managed garden constitutes part of
a. rural establishment, and the culinary
uses of its productions are well under
stood, the field or the market furnishes a
proportionably small part Of the provis-
ions necessary for family consumption
A family, which is well supplied with
garden vegetables will not be so liable to
eat more flesh than health requires, a.
one which is obliged to live almost alto
gether on animal food for want of the
vegetables which a garden affords.

BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITs.

VNHEREAS ! have lately understood that
w certain individuals are now preparing and
vending throughout the United States, an imita-
tion of my celebrated CATHoLIcoN, purporting
to possess the same virtues and as it is presumed
it will be for sale in Newport X. l. the public are
particularly cautioned against purchasing it. 1t is
to be similar to the Rob of L'Aflecteur,
or Syrop de Cuisinier, which contains corrosive
subiindte, and calculated 10 do much mischief
trust the unsuspecting will be on their guard
against these frauds, and purchase of no other
person but A. p. MOORE, nj. ID. who is my only
authorised agent for Newport, II. I. and from
whom the genuine POtfer's Catholicon can be
had fresh from my factory at Philadelphia.

Mr.. Editor. l see in your last paper
a short article from the .New Mon,hly
Magazine, recommending Train, or Fish
Oil, as being Of great service to the
gooseberry bush, preserving it from the
ravages of the caterpillar, SC; stating
also that it improved the growth and pro-
ductiveness of the plant or tree. One
object Of the winter, it seems, was, to
have experiments tried on Jiuit trees.-
| have had sad experience with fish Oil
on my fruit trees. In consequence of
seeing it highly recommended in some
country newspaper, / was induced to try
it on my Peach, Apricot, Pear, Plum,
Nectarine, Apple, and Cherry trees, in
July, 1896, and the result was, that it
entirely killed all my Peach, Apricot,
Nectarine, and Cherry trees, and mate

fifty trees that had been set out three
years, and were in fine health, and
growing vigorously at the time l applied
the oil. | would not have parted with
the trees for $500. The effect of the oil
is, to I'll up the pores ofthe bark of the
tree, so as to exclude all nourishmeni
through that source from the atmosphere,
rain, sun, sc. In about four weeks after
applied the oil, perceived from the
yellow, sickly appearance of the leaf
that the work of destruction was fast 60.

to be scrapcd with knife, and had then

BILE but all to no effect. They contin-
ued to exhibit more and more Of that
sickly appearance, and the leaves all fell
early in September, and by the next
spring the bark become entirely dead
and dry, and but one of the trees, which
was a peach, spring up from the root,
which think is proof, from the best
source possible, Experience, that you can
hardly apply anything more dcleterious
than Oil of any kind to fruit trees, as the
effects of all kinds of oil upon the bark of
the tree must be nearly the same.
! have for several years past used a
wash made of diluted soft soap, which ]
have found of very great service to all
kind of fruit trees, gooscbcrry bushes,
shrubbcry, SC. l apply it very freely
with a painters brush, to the body and
limbs of the tree as high as can reach,
that is, up to the fruit buds, in May or
June.
! have been thus particular, as far as
my experience goes, respecting the use
of Oil on fruit trees, for the information of

cecdingly to have any of my brethren
suffer from such experience, as severely
as i have.

BEST KIND OF VEGETABLES.

BESI hlND
A cultivator who has a proper regard
to his own interest will always endeavor
to procure and propagate from the best
breeds of vegetables as well as animals.
"A good sort Of potatoes, for instance,
is scarcely less desirable than a good
breed Of cattle and the best possible
grasses are as much to be sought after as
Merino, or South-down Sheep.
EARLY POTATOES.
Plant near your hog-sty, an early sort
Of potatoes on early ground, for feeding
hogs before your corn be comes ripe.
After your potatoes are planted, it is said,
that strcwing quick lime over the hills in
small quantities will preserve them against
both the grub-worm and the wire-worm.
Potatoes are better food for breeding
ewes than turnips, which it is said are apt
to injure the lambs. In small quantities
at time, they are good food for horses
and oxen, especially in spring. They
will go farther if boiled or steamed, but
when given raw they arc useful for phys
ic as well as food, being of a cooling and
laxative quality, and calculated to coun-
teract the astringent and heating quail
ties of dry food.
soAP-sUDs FOR DESTROYING INSECTS.
The Rev. Mr.. FalcOner, one of the
correspondents of the Bath Agricultural
Society, strongly recommends Soap-Suds
both as manure and an antidote against
insects. He observes, " This mixture
of an oil and an alkali, has been more
generally known than adopted as a rem
edy against the insects which infest wall
fruit-trees. 1t will dislodgc and destroy
the insects which have already formed
their nests, and bread among the leaves.
When used in the early part of the year,
it seems to prevent the insects from set
ting upon them" He prefers soap-suds
to lime-water, because lime soon Closes
its causticity, and with that its efficacy,
by exposure to air s. must consequently be
frequently applied; and tothe dredging of
the leaves with the fine dust of wood-ash-
es and lime, because the same effects is
produced by the mixture without the
same labor, and is obtained without any
expense" He directs to make us of a
common garden-pump for sprinkling trees
with soap-suds, and says if the water of
a washing cannot be had, a quantity
of potash, dissolved in water, may be
substituted, and that the washing Of the
trees with soap-suds twice a week, for
three or four weeks, in the spring will be
sufficient TO secure them from aphides,
sc.
The expressed juice of elder leaves
will kill shippers in cheese, bacon, sc. ;
and strong decoctions of the leaves or
roots are fatal to insects, which depredate
on plants in gardens, sc. DIR. Which
observes, that "the leaves of elder are
eaten by sheep to which they are of
great service, when diseased with the
rot for ifplaced in a situation, where
they can easily reach the bark and young
shoots, they will speedily cure them
selves" DR.. Elliot observed in his Es-
says on Field Husbandry, that "elder
bushes are stubborn and hard to subdue,
yet I know by experience, that moving
them five times year will kill them"

POETRY.
From the Ladies' Magazine.
RETROsPECTION.

In the deep silence Of the night,
When universal grandeur reigns,
And orbs Of glory shed their light
In diamond streams upon the plains;--
When not sound or breath is heard,
Save that Of leaves, by zephyrs ain'd,
Or the sweet music Of the rill,
That gugles down the sloping hil;-
When nature slumbers-then muse
Ger earlier scenes and earlier hours
Futmity my heart eschews.
And turns to childhood's path Of flowers.
Yes, to those hallow'd scenes it clings,
Where hope first fedg'd her golden wings,
And spread o'er earth halo bright,
While winging on through paths Of light.
How fondly memory wanders back
To sweeter, happier, fairer scenes,
And dwells and fingers on the track
Of life's first hopes and fairy dreams;
When ev'ry hour brought new delight,
And beauty's wreath forever bright,
Enrob'd the earth, the sea, the skies,
In purest tints and fairest dyes.
IT'S sweet to ponder on the past;
Youths sun-beams tighten round the heart;
All sonows then aside are cast;
Joys pearly tear-drops freely start,
And heart and spirit melt in bliss,
While dreaming Of mothers kiss,
A fathers passionate embrace,
A sisters sweet, joy-beaming face.
Oh! who would not be young again,
And feel his joyous spirit bound,
Light as the hart that skins the plain,
To every mirth-inspiring sound,
And tread life's mazes Ger anew,
And search each how'ry pathway through,
With all the hopes the thoughts, the fears
OF childhood's pure and blissful years.
When ev'ry pulse with pleasure thril'd,
And ev'ry scene was fresh and bright,
When hopes enchanting visions fill'd
Each throbbing bosom with delight;
And open'd to the spirits gaze,
The future robd in rainbow rays;
And made each heart the. joyous throne
OF innocence and love alone.
