To PRESERVE PEACH TREEs.-We clip the
following from this mornings Inteligencr. Its
author is known to us, and is an aged, intelli-
gent, and altogether reliable gentleman:
sClear the earth away Immediately next to
the trunk of the tree, down to near the root,
and then place two or three Jumps of unslacked
lime, each about the size of goose egg, next
to the tree, and cover it over with little earth.
1t will eradicate the worm, and in short time
give vigor to the tree. The lime should be APP
piled when the trees are young, but will answer
as well for older trees, by increasing the guam
tity of lime about one-third. From my expe-
rience, in three or four years is all that is
necessary to ensure vigorous, healthy tree.

MEXICAN SENATOR'S IMPRISONED The Rio
Bravo says that the Mexican government has
adopted proceedings against several Senators,
including General Almonte, and other officers,
under an old Spanish law Of 1918. These gen.
tlemen have been fined, some of them sent to
the prison Of Perote, others dismissed and the
house Of General Almonte entered, and property
removed to pay fine, by file Of armed men.
He complains loudly of abuse and outrage, and
good deal Of public feeling seems to be excited.
Deep and angry discomfort appears to pervade
all parts Of Mexico.

1t was necessary to send man from England

1t was but twenty years ago that Edward Bury's
engine was placed upon our road.

AN AMERICAN STEAMER.-The steamer Geor-

has been remarkably successful vessel. In
twenty-one months she has travelled more than
one hundred thousand miles, and in all that

quired the aid Of a machinist or carpenter.
Her first six or seven trips averaged profit to
her owners of from forty-six to forty-seven
thousand dollars We have obtained these
facts from gentleman attached to her.

GoLD.-Greeley sometimes deals in precious

says of gold: alt is well enough in its way !;

to devote their energies at home to the produc-
ton of iron instead, the country would have
been far more prosperous and happy than it is.

/" By gentleman from Apalachicola, we learn

washing away many buildings, and most Of the

are filled with masses of rubbish, and fishes,

most insufferable. Several lives were lost"

MATHEW ST. GLAZE CLAREK was onco IN
conversation with the late British Minister al
this capital, when the latter remarked;
"You Americans have great aptnesS Tor this
thing Of annexing; hope you wiii not select
England in your future extensions"
"speak softly, sir, softly" replied Mr..
Clarke, with apparent earnestness; ''if our
boys onoe hear the thing suggested, your coun-
try is swallowed up"
The minister laughed laugh Of mingled
pleasantly and ridicule. England could not be
annexed! Great Britain controls the destinies
Of others, and her strength and power can with
stand the world
All this is very good, but We are now annexing
her population at the rate of ten thousand week.
While this depletion is being made almost from
the very region of her heart, we are propagating
in her colonies such principles as will finally
turn their affections from her. Her hierarchy
is now in danger. 1t is an excrescence upon
the face of civil government, and must slough
off, and with it will fall all veneration for her
aristocracy. Should this and her monarchy
fall, and the reign of anarchy appear impend-
ing, the United States can be Of great service
to her statesmen and people. If we do not
then annex her, her people win at least wish
the barrier presented by the broad Atlantic
could be removed, to admit of an alliance so
mutually profitable.

BONES He is funny niger, and good
musician. While we write, he and his COM
rades are rehearsing some beautiful music at the
Odd-Fellows Hall, across the street Our win
dow looks right in upon them, and we hear
every note they send forth. We have long
known Bones. We danced to his music long
years ago, on the shady side of the barn, and
with bare feet. We admired Bones music then,
and we admire it now. 1t is gladdening kind
of music, and reminds us of the good old Bones,
the veritable Bones, who used to purchase hap
piness at SO small price. Poor old niger !
he worked well while daylight lasted, but al
ways welcomed the shower that brought him
rest, and the approach Of night; but most of
all, he welcomed Saturday night Bones re-
ceived no wages, and seldom saw smooth
levy; yet Bones was happy man, and happy
was the group Of little boys who were so much
amazed at the skill Of poor old Bones. He
played with the old rib-bones as with castanets
He is gone now, but, as we then thought, he
was worthy of imitation; and SO think all the
admirers Of the counterfeit Bones whom we now
hear. He is much followed, and thousands sit
delighted ut the music of his rattle, while the
delighted Bones, as of yore, grins precious
display Of ivory, and makes all others laugh
with him. 1t is innocent mirth, and he is still
good old fellow, is poor old Bonesl

The large and beautiful fve-story brick build
ing, at the corner Of Seventh street and Louisi-
ana avenue, has, since the completion of its
walls, been the subject Of universal admiration.
We do not think that it has ever been surpassed
by any similar building in this city, in either
materials or workmanship. Yet, from the inn
perfect character Of the ground upon which the
northern portion Of it stands, or other cause, a
depression has become apparent that threatens
serious results. 1t is not indeed impossible
that from fourth to third of the Seventh
street front will have to be removed and rebuilt.
We are perhaps over-cautious concerning such
things; but it has occurred to US that the at
tention Of the Mayor should be given to the
present condition Of this wall. The contractors
will no doubt use the best possible means to
overcome the mishap, but they have no power
to prevent the usual thoroughfare while thus
engaged.
