COLLAR PRINT DECEPTIoN--Dr. DuHcdn's
INTENDED speech which ,c0s NOT delivered
in Congress. Emporium has promised to
commence, and tho Globe, and many other collar
prints, have commenced publication with the
follow ing FALSE head: "Spcech Of DIR. Duncan
of Ohio, in the House Of Representatives, July g.,
1885, on tie bill to establish Independent Treas
ury,'' and they proceed 10 say, '!Mr. Duncan
ADDRESSED the House folIows:'
Now is not this too bold and barefaced descrp
ton, for editors, who profess to have any moral,
not TO say religious sentiments, to deceive their
readers by such gross talsehood They know
that that rigma role of stuff was NEVER delivered
in the House cf Representatives. They know
that when DR.. Duncan attempted to deliver his
speech, the Speaker and many others, called him
to order some ten fifteen times, and finally he
was compelled q sit down by tho Speaker, Coco
foco as he ISL He then asked permission to pub
lish his speech ,rithout speaking it, and that also
was objected to- and thus he foiled on every
tack, in trying to send such falsehood before the
people as a speech made in Congress. Blu: some
thing must be done to endea> or to countsract
Mr. Bonds mastery expose of government ex-
travagance; and forhw th the Globe steps for
ward and publishes it, the same as If its delivery
had not actually been prevented. by the Speaker
and the House, On the ground of its being cut Of
order, and altogether irrevelant 10 the subject
before the House of Representatives
Thus do the collar gentlemen try TO evade and
hide the truth, and deceive their readers.
The people must beware now of any statements
thew see in the Van Buren, prints, their case
being desperate one, they will not stop al tries
to carry their points and thus hold to the Irca
suru pap We say beware of them, for they
are not to be trusted, the glazing tissue Of
falsehood alluded to above amply proves.

lantern was procured, and after proceeding at a
rapid rate, they arrived at the church yard, and
descending the gloomy vault. they discovered the
i'ody Of the Inflated Herman lying upon his face
across the threshold, the extremity Of his gown
fastened TO the coffin by the poniard.
1t would seem that in his fear and agitation, his
hand became entangled in the folds OF his gown,
and the dagger pinned ii the coffin, and INA GIN
ing he had fallen into the power of demons or
spirits, he sank lifeless to the ground. He was
raised, AMI the expression ofterror upon his coun-
tenance was truly horrible. Ills eyes seemed
starting from their socke,s-his lips were firmly
and his hair stood bi isiing upon his
head. He was conveyed TO the inn with all pos
sible dispatch, where efforts were made to resus-
cirate him, but in vain. The fright had been too
much for hiin--he was dead!

POTATO APPLES.

IL is generally allowed by those who have
made experiments upon the suffice that by pluck
ing off the blossoms Of potatoes, the crop will be
increased thereby equal 10 the amount of apples
that would have been produced had the blossoms
been allowed to remain and this position is sup
ported by reason, for it is evident that injury
arise from The mutIla,ion of the plant, as
only small stems arc removed, and that as the
seed is essential part ofthe plant, and in many
cases the most difficult part to bring to perfec
ton, an important part of the nourishmen mt must
be devoted TO it; therefore it is not unreasonable
TO suppose that the nutrimcnt necessary for
crop OF apples would produce greater amount
ct roofs. ii privaton of blossoms will increase
the amount OF potatoes equal to crop Of apples
it is an object Of great importance to take off the
blossoms, especially from some kinds which pro-
ducc many apples. As we were gathe ring pota-
toe apples for the seeds last fall, noticed that
some kinds had on IN average half pint to the
hill, when tho crop of potatoes was not more
than two hundred bushels to the acre: allowing
only one gill to the hill, and we have frequently
seen a large piece that would average thnt, and
supposing the hills to be three feet apart each
way, there would he 4, $40 hills to fthe acre; 4,
$40 gs Of apples would be almost 10 bushels
If 10 bushels of potatoes could be saved by pinch
ing off the blossoms, it would pay more than four
times the expense.
Potatoes that very productive usually
yield but few apples, while those that produce
but small crop have an abundance of apples;
this is u general rule; there are some exceptions,
as some kinds produce great many apples while
other kinds that more productive yield but
few. 1t seems to be a wise provision of Nature
to produce little or no seed while there is good
crop Of tubes and this crop degeneratcs, tho
seed is produced which offers facilities for renew
ing the kind producing new varities from it.
