Rio JANEIRO.-A letter from an American
II In Rio de JaneirO thus describes some of the
Peculiarities which came under his notice in
the Brazilian capital:
ALI citizens Of distinction in Rio have in
their employ a large number Of servants,
whom they dress ID livery. II is wonderful
and striking to see the handy legs Of the me-
groes encased in blue breeches, fitting close to
the skin, with pair OF tremendous military
boots reaching 70 knees and spuFred on the
heelsj short jacket proiusely oraameated
with brass buttons a cap decorated cohspicu-
ously with gold lace, aud all the nameleSs
trappingg that are supposed to give dazzling
effect to high life. The cabriolets are drawn
sometimes by mules, but chiefly by horses -
The drivers seat Is behind, but very high, so
as to overlook the body of the vehicle. Pub
lie drivers, as we'll as priVa'e, wear the prevail
ing livery.
1t appeared to me thai more than half the
inhabitants OF Rio, Of every condition, wear
some badge OF office. Laced coats and mill
taTy caps are seen on all sides. Boys of ten
or fifteen years strut about town in the uni
| believe, are cadets belonging to the Empsr-
or,s military school.
The burdens, such as coffee, flour, baskets,
&C., are carried from place to place on the
heads Of negroes. 1t is astonishing what i'm.
mense weights these carriers transport in this
manner. An instance was related to me Of q
negro who carried barrel Of rum on his head
from one extremity Of tho city to the other,
distance Of several miles. This is we'll authen-
ticated, having been tested by wager made
by an American resident with visitor to Rio,
both OF whom were interested in the result.
| frequently saw these negroes carry at brisk
trot as much as tour or five hundred pounds
on their heads. A gentleman Of my acquain-
tance said he saw eight hundred pounds car.
ried to considerable distance in this way. /
was also told Of feat lerformed by a negro
belonging to Mr.. Rudge, who lives up in
the mountains Of Tejuco, that quite surprised
me, as knew by personal experience the diff
ficulty Of walking there without any burden.
This man was in the habit Of carrying upon
his head every week or two barrel Of flour;
nor did he make practice Of resting on the
way except once, and then only for few min
utes. The distance TO Mr.. Ridges is at least
eight or ten miles, over very steep and rug
ged road. have frequently seen negro
bearing along ct a brisk trot a bureau or sofa
on his head, and this too, with as much appa-
rent ease as if he had nothing on but his hat.
The pedlars carry large cases filled with stock
Of all sort Of fancy ware on their heads, shout
ing the price as they pass each house. One Of
these met near the top Of the COreovadO
whittier he had carried his wares to sell to the
country people.

purposes Of trade or commerce; that as regarded
Montenegro the status quo before the war

Minister at COnstantinOple, that nothing
should be done with the territories Of kleck

pA correspondent Of the New York OBJ
server writes as follows, on a subject which
ought to be Of national interest: To reach
Gen. TaylOr's grave you must wind about
through by-wsys, aud finally stop before
small enclosure on the top Of hull in an open
field, surrounded by a rude stone wall; and
Just on the other side Of that wall you will
see very plain vault, with afrontOf lime
stone rocks, roughly hewn, and an iron door,
and that you will be told is the tomb Of the
once famous General Zachary Taylor, Presi-
dent Of the United States Of America. No
monument has been erected to his memory.
His name has not even been inscribed on his
vault In the center Of the small graVe-y yard
there is monument erected to the memory
Of his father, Col Richard Taylor, revolu-
tionary soldier. Five years ago Gen. Taylor

How 70 RAISE FRU1T EvERY YEAn. iii
rightly understood, few trees, unless abso-
luteIy dead or rotten, need occupy ground
without yielding plenteOus crop. After a
long and varied series Of experiments, grad
ualfy adopted the following mode: as soon as
the winter has sufficiently disappeared, and
before the sap ascends, examine my trees;
every dead bough is Topped off, then after the
sap has risen sufficiently to show where the
blossoms will be, | cut away all the other
branches having none on, and also the ex-
tremity Of every limb the lower part Of which
bears considerable number Of buds, thus con-
centrating the sap Of the tree upon tfe matur.
alton Of its fruits, and saving what would be
a useless expenditure Of strength. In the
ounce, apricot and peach trees, this is very
important, as this is very apt to be luxuriant
in leaves and destitute Of fruit. You may
think this Injuries the trees, bnt it does not; for
YOU will find trees laden with fruit, which
formerly yielded nothing. OF course other
we'll known precautions must be attended TO-,
such as cutting ont worms from the roots;
placing an old iron on the limbs, which act
sa tonic to the sap, &c. Try it, ye who
have failed in raising fruit.

thE tthhi AhDs--fT fThHtHg.- Having pro.
Vided himself with good sharp knile, thc
y1igneron will select pleasant weather, when
the vines are not frozen, bat before the sap hal
begun to start, and betake himself to the Ia.
Dor Of pruning his vines. The first thing Il
be done is to cut the vines loose from the
stakes; II they be feeble, cut back freely, re.
moving everything but the lowest good shoot
OF last years growth. which should be short.
ened TO two years, from which to grow strong
canes Tor another year. II the vine be strong
and healthy, select the largest and stoutesI
shoot, coming out as low down on the stock as
may be, trim off ell laterals and old tendrils
neatly, and cut il off at six, eight, or ten eyes
or jOints, according to the strength, but be
sure not to leave too much wood. The lowest
best shoot is then selected for the spur, and it
should be IS low as possible; cut it back two
or three eyes, and cut off smoothly all the old
wood Of last years crop and all extraDeous
shoots; strip off the loose bark formed on old
vines and leave the stock to be tied at later
period.
There are some differences Of opinion re.
specting the height Of the stock, but most of
our best vignerOns advocate the short stem or
low pruning above suggested.
Layers. there be an occasional gap
in the vineyard, now is good time TO provide
for the filling it up by,a layer from one Of the
nearest vines. For this purpose the trimmer
must select good long branch that will reach
to tho gap, and leave it for making the layer
next month.
Banks and Kalks should be repaired when
ever the ground will allow working-if the
rains or frosts have injured them they should
be made up at once, and all tendency to wash
must be checked Immediately.
Trenchiag new ground, which should have
been progressing the whole winter, except dur.
ing the severest frost, must now be completed,
as it will soon be time to set the young vines in
new plantations.
Cuttings. The trimmings are all to be col
lected and at once cut up into slips; this oper-
alton may be performed under shelter in
stormy weather. Good, sound wood, with
short joints, is to be selected and cut into
lengths Of eighteen TO twenty-five inches.
When it is convenient, smal piece Of the old
wood is left on the base Of each cutting, as
such are considered most likely to grow.
They are now to be tied up neatly in bundles
Of two hundred and fifty each, and then pla-
ced in cool cellar.
A better plan, however, is to dig trench,
set the bundles vertically, close together, and
cover with the earth that had been thrown
out. The greatest care should always be taken
to prevent the cuttings from becsmiug dry.
The trimmings should be gathered into the
cellar from day to day and occasionally sprink-
led with watering Ot.-WeSter1 Horttcat-
