Extraordinary Growth of Fruit.

We have in our office a branch, per-
haps lSinchcs long froma plum tree in the
garden of W. III. Smith of this city. on
which from one end to tho other, the
plums are clustered as thick as ever we're
grapes in clusters. There are no less
than sirfy plums on the branch, and had
not the branch broken off from lis weight,
and the fruit ripcned, each one would
have been large, healthy and delicious
plum. We think there is not an unsound
one on the branch. The branch pr, sents
a solid mass of fruit from one end to the
other, and is certainly specimen of pro-
ductivencss which could not be excellcd
in any latitude. Other branches on the
same tree have broken off from the same
cause. We do not know the name Of
the variety, but the quality is excellent.

g The Madison Democrat sre,

e The Madison Democrat, speak-
ing of two delegates elected at Madison
to the Senatorial Convention, says one is
Pierce and Nebraska and the other Bars
tow and the Balan e. This confirms
what we said yesterday that the Democ
racy of the state is divided into two fac
tons, known as the Democrat designates
them. 1t would be injustice to either of
these factions to intimate that there is
any trouble between them on the score of
principle, for principle is thing which
never troubles them at all. It's personal
ambition, likes and dislikes.

The candidate nominated, Judge SpooN-
Err of Walworth, is worthy of the conf
dence and suflrageS of the people of this
Congressional District. We had hoped.
indeed to sec him on the bench of the
Supreme Court, as being one of the best
qualified in the State by his ability and
principles, to help render that Court a
bulwark against the encroachments of
the Federal Government, and protec-
ion to the liberties of the people. But
the Convention decided that he should
represent this District in the next Con-
gress, and we trust the people will ratify
that decision, by rousing majority.
We need give no assurance that we shall
support him with right good will. We
should not have been candidate against
Judge SOONER, had we known that he
was really candidate. His friends said
he might be a candidate, but they were
not determined in the matter And not
till the delegates were on the ground
was it certain that they would present
him as a candidate. We are glad that
he is nominated and that we are not and
it shall not be our fault if he is not elect
ed by an overwhelming majority.-W

interesting description of dinncrr recent

of celebrating upon professional affairs ::

allegory represented railway with a
double track. At a signal given immc-

peared upon the table, to which was at
tached train loaded with dishes Of the
choicest and most solid food. The sue
culcnt train advanced slowly. i'll imita-
ton of the passenger trains upon all Ger

Of the table without stopping, in order
to give a view Of the good things with
which it was freighted, the train again
started, making station in front Of each
guest, and permitting him to fiji his plate
occortling to his appetite and fancy. The
trains followed each other in constant
srcccsNiOn for two or three hours, depart
ing each time well loaded with comesti-
bIcs, and always returning empty to the
depot. The dinner was as magnificent
as it was copious, and giving a favorable
idea of the culinary art in Germany.

"Two from WaukeSha voted for Mr..
Sholes, and one from this county voted
for him by mistake"
So says the Free Democrat, in syeak-
ing of the balloting in the Congressional
Convention. We have no IN cans of
knowing, positively, who voted for us, as
it was done without any words, solcita-
ton, or even knowledge of intention, on
our part. nevertheless we think brother
Booth is mistaken. We do not think
any delegate from Waukcsha voted for
US at any time, nor did any delegate from
Milwaukee, either by mistake or other
wise.
What few votes We got out of our own
delegation, who voted for us occasionally,
we had no means of knowing definitely
where they came from, and We were a
candidate no further than delegates chose
to voluntarily use our name, otherwise we
should have taken pleasure in withdraw
ing our name. that time at least might
have been saved in coming to decision.
