Ridgeley said he would give himself up to the
authorities; but upon the arrival of the officers

Germans From the first organization of our mill

in it, but within the last few years an extraordi-

especially the Irish, whose passion for arms is
remarkable feature Of their whole history.
1t is gratifying fact, that these citizens do not
yield to the natives in love Of the institutions Of
the country, readiness to defend them with their
lives. In their punctual attendance on parades,
their aptitude for acquiring the knowledge Of
soldiers duties in their practical military skill, and
above all, in their love Of firearms, many American
officers regard them equal to their comrades bora
on this soil, while some hold that they evnce the
military spirit in still higher degree. And this Is
easily accounted for.

MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS OF MEN OF FoR8IGN
BIRTH The anxiety of our foreign population to
bear the arms of citizen soldiers, and the facility
with which they become excellent troops, is very
singular trait in the character Of the great etropo
lis of the United States. Our uniform militia
companies, numbering between six and geven thou
Sand men, have been greatly admired by all who
visit our city, for their disc pine, their military
bearing, and the beauty Of their uniforms, all pur
chased at their own expense, and sometimes costing
so much as 500 In those the adopted citizens
particularly the Irish and Germans--make up very
large items In addition to the uniformed compa-

foreign birth. The following is as accurate list

Cnrrant Bushes.

Having noticed that currant bushes may
as well be made trees as shrubs, have
concluded to tell you how ] have seen it
done. In the spring of 1881 my father
commenced garden, and among other things
set cuttings, and as soon as they grew
picked off all the leaves except the top tuit
which l left to grow. The cutting was
about fourteen inches high. and during the
summer the sprout from this grew perhaps
ten inches. The next spring ! pinched off
all the leaves to about half way up the first
years growth, SO as 10 leave the lowest
limbs about two feet from the ground. 1t
branched well, and became nice little
dwarf tree. When it came to bear fruit, it
was more productive than any other bush in
the garden and the fruit larger; it was less
infected with spiders and other insects; hens
could not pick off the fruit, and grass and
weeds were more easily kept from about
the roots-and it was an ornament instead
of blemish. Now would propose that
currant cuttings be set in rows about five
feet apart each way; let them be long and
straight ones, and trained into trees.
