Method Of obtaining larger and
fairer Fruits.

II is said that &c ntleman, who has during the
year. exported apples 10 London, to be retailed
at a shilling piece, has obtained fruit of the
largest dimensions and finest quality by the fol-
10 wing method:
In the first place he take particular care to
keep his apple trees free of all worms. caterpil-
lers, and other destructive insects; after having
bestowed them in suitable soil and rearing them
according to the most approved me,hed of cult :
walton.
After the apples set as the y coming to
maturity he Judges u he th.- th~y 100
Gus for the capacity of the tree TO bring TO ma
turity, for its branches TO sustain should the
fruit come to its usual growth. If SO, by means
OF high step-ladders, constructed as 20 sustain
person among the higher lower branches of
the tree. without at all depending the body or
branches. he causes the surplus TO be carefully
picked off. selecting the most unlikely speci-
----- 80 60 .hA.> narts Of ,hA a-~ where
diminutve fruit is usually found.
But whether the number Of apples on the
| tree be many few, he in no ease permits a
blasted Wormy specimen to remain; believing
that their being severed will leave more of the
energy Of vegetation and production to be afford
cd by the parent to the rema ming fruit.
This is the principle involved in his method
which by his experience he has found to be en-
tirely successful, promising always. that his or
chard has been grated with the largest and most
delicious fruit. There is reason in tho theory
that decayed or unpromising fruit, when left on
the trees, robs the faror specimens Of noursh-
me mt that they would otherwise claim and hence
dmin ishes the size and quality Of the latter. II
is true Of animal life, and why not of vegetable?
that sources Of depletion being removed, the
strength and vital energy of the primitive sys-
tenn 10 promoted.
A friend of ours has experimental on the same
principle, to improve the size and quality OF
grapes. The luxuriant vines which shoot out
beyond the sitting Of the grapes, exhaust the en-
ergy Of tho parent vine and diminish the size
and quality of tho fruit. His remedy is, care full
" "a pruns off those verdant shoots before they
shall have robbed the fruit Of the nourishment
required to bring it to maturity.-Farmer and

What a word has cost.

In the outset of the negotiations between this
country and Mexico, on the subject OF the lex
ian boundary, it stated TO cur Cabinet at
w ashngt that if Mr.. Slideli would visit Mex
leo in the character of Commissioner he
would not only be received, but his propos itions
would be favorably entertained, and the friendly
relations Of the two governments in all Prooa-
bity be restored. The then ex sting admins
traton Of Herrera, it we'll known, was IN
elnod to amity and peace with us, and only ask
ed the substitution Of the term 'Commissionsr ,
for that of Minister Plenipotentiary' in the
diplomatic grade of Mr.. Slidel, because the lat
ter was calculated to irri,ate the vanity of the
people, and prevent the accomplishment Of his
mission To this request Mr.. Buchanan not
willing to accede He had yielded Oregon rath-
or than encounter the hostility of England-he
had permitted his native State to be Juggled out
of her tariff system to please Southern faction
but he could not grant TO a weak neighborlng
republic the poor privilege Of saving her pride,
even tho u Oh he knew the denial involved war and
carnage.
And what has this absurd etiquette cost u.s. \ o
one doubts that before this war was CONNIE need
Me xico might have been induced to sell all OF her
territory which it interest to buy, ana
upon term VIII ch would have been greatly to
our advantage Assurances to this effect had
been given to Mr. Buchanan himself, and he
had been exhortsd to remove the only obstacle
which stood in the way Of peaceful acquisition
But either because he had predeterm ined on war,
or because he believed the Mexicans would en-
dure any extremity of provocatlon, he insisted
vigorously on the title Of his Ambassador; and
~ .,..,e INDUCED ali tho terrible conse
tIatx Had hn hpnb
treating with a great and powerful nation like
England, we could have applauded his adher-
ence to ANYTHING that the strctes, right required;
but after giving to HER all he had pledged himself
to withhold, it was making but paltry show Of
courage to deny to feeble nA"I-i- .'eio oouf-
tesy which their rulers asked because it was
csssary to prevent discord at home.
If Mr.. Buchanan had allowed Mr.. SIidell to be
recognized "Commissioner" the boundary
question might have been adjusted on terms
isfactory to both nations-the ports we desire TO
possess on the Pacific might have been honora-
bly, obtained; and the foundation of solid and
last ing peace between two neighborng republics,
been laid " ithout invading the rights or alarm
ing the jealousies Of either. AS it is what have
gained by his refusal? A war which has al
ready cost us thousands Of valuable lives, and
millions Of treasuro-which has opened issues of
tho most fearful character involving the safety Of
the Union itsel-whch has led to the most pal
pable usurpations of Executive power, and
which in it's progress must produce the widest
