W Several American papers continue to
keep Judge ALExAHDER's name before thu
public in connection with the next guberna-

decent man for the dirty work of politics,
and We trust he will promptly announce his
determination not to engage in it. He ia
doing the State good service in his present
position, and acquiring reputation of which
any man might be proud. Why seek to
transfer him to another, of at least doubtful
RESULT If we felt certain the Judge could be
elected, we esteem him too highly to wish to
see him mingled up with the filth and dirt
incident to political canvass. The Office Of
Chief Executive is high one-but the road
that leads thithcr is crooked, narrow, arc
miry. Ask Andy johnson.

Tight Boots and Shoes,

Very recently, New Yorker purchased a
pair Of boots but they fitted so tightly that
he was compelled to take them of before night
but they caused his death within iorty-eight
hours.
The most uuobservaut know that cold feet
and hands are uniform symptoms in those
diseases which gradually wear our lives away.
The canse Of these symptoms is want of cir
cuation. The blood does not pass to and
from the eXtrenities with facility. Nine-tenths
of our women, at least in cities and large
towns, have cold feet or hands, oil. both hence,
not one in hundred is healthy. 1t is ct our
feet and hands that we begin to die, and last
OF all the heart, because, last of all, stagna-
tiou takes place there. In the worst cases
of disease, the physician is hopeful Of recov.
cry, as long as he can keep the extremities
warm when that cannot be done, hope dies
within him. 1t needs no argument 10 prove
that tight glove prevents the free circuls-
ton ofblood through the hands and fingers.
1t so happens, that the very persons who
ought to do everything possible to promote
the circulation Of the blood, are those who
most cultivate tight gloves, 10 Wit the
wives and daughters who have nothing TO do
but dress or rather, do nothing but dress ;
or to be critically accurate, who spend more
time in connection with dressing, than or all
other objects together, not including sleep,
No man or woman born has any right to do
deliberate injury to the body for single
hour in the day but TO do it day after day,
for lifetime, against the lights of science
and common sense, is not wise. We may
wink at il, glide over it, talk about this be-
ing free country that it is ridiculous for a
doctor to dictate whether glove shall be
worn tight or loose, but the effect won't be
laughed or scorned away for whatever is
done which impedes the circulation of the
blood, is done wrougfully against our bodies,
aud will as be certain ofpjurious results, as
the hinderiug Of any, Law physical or pbysio-;
logical. Every grain Of sand must be taken
care Of, or the universe would dash to atoms.
and so with the little things of the body.

Winter Grating

The process Of Root Grating is entirely
supercedug budding or stock work, for the
apple. Small seedlings Of two or three years
growth. in loose peryous soil, are taking
up and about three slips cut from each, three
or four inches long aud the scion is whip or
clip grated on. and wound with fax or wax
ed cloth or paper. They are set IN boxes FL
led with sand and kept in moderate temper
ature till spring, when they are set out where
they are intended to stand.
There is some discussion going on in the
Horticultural papers rs to the dis advantages
OF the Root Hraftlng-averring that tkey do
not heal well--create bad, knotty excrescen.
ceS at the healing point, which intercept the
sap to :he detriment Of the growth Of the
tree and its fruit bearing-but We must say
that in the hundreds of trees We cave set out
and brought to maturity, aud IN all the or.
chardS we have inspected, We have never OBJ
served or suspected such an effect.
We once brought tree Of the green gage
plum which was root grated, aud when taken
up found the earth had been deeply drawn up
about tue body and set OF roots were thrown
out above the cicgtrce Of the graft The Or
iglnal root was then cut oil. and the sprouts
that came up around il were OF the same kind
as the tree Al root grated trees may be
operated on in the same maunsr. This pro-
cess makes an original tree and might be pro-
litably used in new and distuut countries.
where il is dilicult to procure qnantiiies-as
the sprouts of the pear, apple and plum,
might be easily multiplied TO almost any ex-
tent.
There is no more abstruse principle in We
getable physiology than the result produced
by grating; in the fact that the root that re-
ceiyrs the pecnllar 'pahulum,' or food OF the
plant, has no control, nor dors II exercise the
temotest agency in determining the taste,
color, species or size Of the fruit. The sweet
est aud most delicate and melting pear, or
apple, are just as fna ard perfect on the
acrid ounce, or CRAB apple, as on us native
stock.
