From the Hartford Couram.
tsnxar ,Tgs,

The origin OF this phrase, aud its peculiar
force, have receutiy been discussed in the
columns of the Engiish) Notes and Queries
Wecopy from the September number, The
following note (by a Hartford correspondent
Of its early use in Connecticut, and of the
construction given it on clerical authority,
hy our iorcfathers. 1t appears to have been
used in England in the time of James H., or
OF William and Mary, some twenty years
before Mr.. Bevcll Waters SO cOntemptuousiy
misappliedit here.
The following extracts from the records Of
the Hartford County Court, in the then
American colony of Connecticut, supply an
amuEing illustration Of the use and peculiar
significance of this phrase
at County Court held at Hartford, Sep
TENDER 4, 1905.
s.sWhereas James Steel did commence an
action against Bevell Waters (both of Hart
forD in this Court, upon hearing tie tryall
whereof the Court gave Judgment against
the said Waters (as in justice they think
they ought y upon the declaring the said
Judgment. the said Waters did review to the
Court in March next; that being granted
and entered, the said Waters as he departed
from the Table, he said, God bless You
over the Left shoulder The Court ordered
record to be made thereof forthwith.
A true copie,
Test, CALEB STANLEY. Clerk.
At the next Court, Waters was tried for
contempt for saying the words rcctcd, $50
cursing the Court" and on verdict fined
$25. lie asked a review at the following
Court, which was granted; and pending tri-
al, the Court asked council of the Rev.
Messrs Woodbridge and Buckingham, the
Ministers of she Hartford churches, rs TO
the common acccptation' of the offensive
phrase. Their reply constitutes part Of
the Record, and IL as follows;
eve are of the opinion that those words
said on the other side to be spoken by Be
veil Waters include III proiancness, by
using the name of God that is holy, with
such i'll words whereto it was joined II,
that they carry great contempt in them, arr
sing to the degree of an imprecation OF
curse, the words of a curse being the most
contemplate that can ordinarily be used.

To RAISE GIANT AsPARAGus.-A writer in
one Of the early volumes of the Horticulture
ist, tMr. Downing we bclicve,) tells Us how
to grow common asparagus 80 that It will al
ways rival any giant production He says:
Every one who bas seen my beds has beg,
gcd inc for the secd-thinking it n new sort
but have pointed to the manure heap
(the farmer : best bank)--and told them that
the secret all laid there. The sight was such
as might be seen in every garden.
About the first Of Novomber--as soon as
the frost has we'll BACKED the asparagus tops
i take the scythc and NOV all down close
to the surface of the bed let it lie a day or
two, then set fire to the heap of stalks, burn
it to ashes, and spread the ashes over the
bed.
then GO to my barn-yard; | take a load
of clean fresh stable manure, and add there
to half bushel OF hen dung; turning over
and mixing the whole together throughout.
This makes pretty powerful compost lap
ply one such load to every twenty feet in
length fmy asparagus beds, which are six
feet wide. With a strong three-prongcd
spud or fork, dig this dressing under -
The whole is now left for winter.
In the spring, as early as possible, /
turn the top of the bed over lightly once
more. Now, as the asparagus grows natur-
ally on the side Of the ocean, and loves salt
water, give it an unusual supply of its IA
vorite condiment. ! cover the surface of the
bed about quarter of an inch thick with
fine packed salt; it is not too much; As
the spring rains come down, it gradually
dssolycs. Not a weed will appear during
the whole season. Everything else, pig
weed, purslin, all refuse to grow on my as
parsgus beds. But it would do your eyes
good to see the stout, strong tender stalks of
the plant itself push up through the surface
early in the season. ! do not at all stretch a
point when Isay that they are as large
around as my hoc-handlc, and as tender and
succuant rs any ever tasted. The same
round of treatment is given to my bed every
yaar.--AmericaR Agrieuitrja.
