The bill for the census and providing for the
election of delegates for Constitutional Con
veniion, has passed both houses without
amendment, just as 1t came from the com
mittee. 1t has been sent to the governor for
his signature, that it can be passed over
his veto, in case he should veto it. The par
ticulars of this bill gave You before. 1t
leaves the entire management OF tie census
taking and the election in the hands Of the
county officers appointed by this body. Il
also provides that the census shall be taken
before the first of April; none arriving after
that time can be listed as voters. Those listed
are merely required to be "inhabtants'' up
10 or on the first Of April. All cases OF cleo
ton fraud are to be determined by the Con

the Governor. who has no power in the mat

Current Bushes as Shrubs, in Bush or

Mr. B. B., of the OHIO Cuiftcator, touch
es lightly upon this subject, in a recent num-
ber and comes to the conclusion that cur
rent bushes are current bushes. and. there
fore should be SO permitted to grow. Like
ourselves. he has seen his crop of fruit, al
though increased in size, reduced i'll quality,
from six quarts to one quart, by the process
Of severe cutting back, and pruning into
miniature tree form. The current should
have all slender and immature branches cut
out, cleanly and smoothly, without leaving
anv knob or projection Oh the old wood,
main stems. 1t should be permitted to grow
as bush, but with much thinning out :
to enable sun and air TO freely penetrate to
its fruit, without exposing 1t too much At
ter cutting out all weakly shoots, the strong
branches remaining. should have from three
20 FIVE buds cut from their eXtremities, ac-
cording as the wood is perfected. or the
branch in position to require such cutting.
tor the better shaping OF the bush.
Current bushes growing in ground well
enriched and kept clean Of weeds planted
about four by six test apart, will produce
very large crops of fruit. and the fruit will
continue to ripen much longer, and more
gradually than when grown in miniature
tree form, and fully exposed to the sun
Every plant or shrub should have its ma
tural form perpetuated, and only so modified
as TO retain an outline pleasant to the eye,

the track is raised to that height and draws of all

The coil of the Track is happy compound Of

Narrow Escape from wealth.

There is true philosophy in the following extract
of a letter from the Rev. Dr. Humphrey to the Evan
geist. The Doctor wrote from Chicago, where he
visiting.
How marvellous has been the rise of property in
Chicago. Happening to be there in the summer of
1889, when the Dearborn reservation brought
into market bought two small lots, and sold them
about seven or eight years ago for two thousand
FIVE hundred dollars, which was thought to be fair
price.-Now the new Richmond Hotel, one Of the
finest in Chicago, stands on the same ground which
| am assured would, if bad kept it 10 this time,
have brought me eighty thousand dollars! So you
see how narrowly have escaped being a rich man,
and rearing my boys, had they been young, to rely
upon my fortune and not upon their own industry,
economy, and good behavior. | slept upon the
premises last night at fair hotel charge, aud with

and what could | ask for moref If the children
OF the proprietor who bought the land of me Of he

mine have done without it, it will be exception

MIR. Ecu and The PUBLIC LANDS.

NO statesman in the national councils has
been governed by more liberal and enlighten-
ed views than the Hon. John Bell. Measures
tending to build up and strengthen the new
States, and to develope their resources, 20 in
crease and extend the commerce of the coun-
try, and to magnify its greatness and renowD,
have uniformly found in him consistent sup
porter. Evidence of this is to be seen in his
support of grants of lands to new States for
railroad and other purposes. Althoughin some
instances he may have deemed the grants some
what extravagant, yet he has apparently re-
garded it as sound policy always to be liberal
aud generous. Under the operations of this
policy, the new States have been rapidly filed
up with hardy industrious population, and
their projects of internal improvements pushed
forward with speed previously unrealized.
True it is, that old States have, in the mean
time, seriously felt the necessity of such aids
to themselves, and in the absence of them,
been compelled to incur heavy debts and or
erous taxes. But this is not the fault of the
new States, nor of the policy of granting them
aid. It is in great degree attributable to the
impolitic and unwise course pursued by repre-.
sentatives of old States in Congress, who have
stood out against extending similar grants of
aid to all the States that have not received
tbem-in a word, against rendering equal jus
tice to all the States Mr.. Bell, in pursuance
of bis policy, at the last session of Congress in
troduced bill to place those States which
have received no grants Of lands upon an equal
ity with those who had. 1t was eminently fit
and proper for him to originate a measure of
this character. Who so likely to win to his
side the support of the new States, on such a
proposition, as one who has uniformly been
liberal to tbem9
We trust that, at the next session of Con-
gress he will press tue proposition to decisive
result. Although portion of the leaders Of
the Democracy are opposed to it, the people
are waking up to the Importance of claiming
their share of the public bounty; and if the
people in the old States are but true to
themselves they can make their will potent
enough to control the action of Congress.
