of the United States corvette Plymouth
weighs 5000 pounds avoirdupois. 1t is
covered with coating Of veImillion and

BILL JENKINS TROUBLES.
THE FIRST NIGHT OF MS MARRIAGE.

1
Bill Jenkins was very modest man
and although he had mingled with the
world at barbecues, shooting matches
bar rooms and at many ofthe ct csters
where men may be frequently be found
yet lie was modest. very-whenever pla
eed in the company of ladies. He trem,
bled when a little girl would speak tc
hin, and felt like culprit at stand,
whenever be was called upon to see
Miss-s and so home. Bill never could
account for this timidity. He would sing
frolic. and be as wild as rover, among
the men, but 9 petticoat would unnerve
him instantly. s@
Lucy Ann Liggins, young widow,
had set her cap sor Bill. and was deter
mined to head Elm or die. Bill, to tell
the truth. loved Lucy. and was as mis-
cradle out Of her company as he was tim :
i'd in it, but popping the question was inn
possible. Lucy knit purses, hemmed
washings, worked shirt bcsoms. and
gave them to jenkins, as well as several
gold rings. but still Jenkins would not
propose. Lucy declared to him repeat
edly that she loved him, and was miser.

ing his wife, but Bill was dumb. At
last Lucy was determined that he should
hear thunder. and when be next visited

her part, she affectionately said, "BilIy.
my dear are you going to ask me to mar
ry you? for l want to get my dress all
ready"
Billy tainted on the spot. and harts-
horn and water were applied for half an
hour before he was finally restored.
"What has been the matter, Miss. Lu-
cyl" said he.
"Oh, not much; you tainted when
you were about to ask ms to marry you,
but told you; and oh, how happy wei
will be when we are married! flove you

GIRLs.-Holmes. in one Of his poema

Loved 0irls when he was vouno -

Loved girls when he was young"
No doubt oft; for Holmes was q sensi-
BILE man, and must have had grandfath-
er. All sensible men love girls when
theo are young, and when they are old,
too. We apply the " old" to the men,
not to the girls mind you. Girlhood is
an institution-a peculiar institution
which, as lovers of the union, we feel
bound to cherish ;and as to the girls large
and small. we hold that no gentleman's
family is complete without them. OF
little girls, an American poet says:-
"With rosy cheekf and daucing curls,
And eyes Of tender light,
Oh very beautiful are little girls.
And goodly to the sight"
And as to large girls-big. bouncing
girls-what a pity it is they must soon bs
women-stately, matronly, queenly wo.
men, who are not angels because they
are not girls! who, by-she.by, are not
angels, either, but vastly more charming
thar any we remember to have seen in
the pictures of elsewhere! Indeed they
are.

The Canal Contract decided.

This afternoon Judge Bates delivered
the opinion Of the Court in regard 10
three of the Canal Contracts, to- witt
Those Of Doyle & Miller, Medberry &
Co., and Forrer, Burt & Co. These
three presented precisely the same points
at issue, and it was agreed by the coun-
sci for the parties, aad by the Attorney
General, that they should stand or fall
together. sa
The points were as to whether the
Board of Public Works had discretion
ary power in letting the contracts, in re-
gard to what consti uted .the lowest res
ponsible bidder" and also whether the
statute had been complied with in the
bonds of the parties taking the contracts,
which were only to twice the amount Of
the contract price Of one year, it being
contended that the statute meant bonds
for double the amount Of the contract
PAIGE for the FIVE years. We have only
time to state that the Court held that
the Board of Public Works had discre.
tionary power to decide who were and
who were not the lowest responsible bid
ders; that the word responsible in this
connection was not limited to a mere De.
cuniaay responsibility, but comprehended
also mental and practical responsible.
ty' @
The Court also held that although the
statute would bear the construction, that
the bonds should be twice the amount Of
the entire contract price; still it would
beer also the other construction put upon
it by the Board of Public Works, and as
they had put that construction upon it.
the State was bound by it.
The other cases are continued ill the
next term.

PRUNING TREES.

The principal objects of pruning are
to procure good pole or trunk for tim.
Der; to form Il head moderately open
and spreading (f a STANDARD orchard for
The protection and healthy and perfect
. development of fruit, and subserve in some
measures the purpose OF ornament.
To effect these objects with the leas;
trouble and greatest advantage upon all
nonIesinous trees, the following directions
are recommended:
/. Begin to prune the tree when it is
young.
2. Cut close and smooth to the pole or
limb.
3. Cut, when small The branches which
are likely to cross one another, or which
are likely to Interfere, or become us eless,
or dead and which, if suffered to remain
Will require to be removed at a more ad
yanced period of growth; when very large
they would create too great shock upon
the vital energies OF the plant.
4, Avoid pruning to excess under our
hot sun. Let the branches Occupy at
least one third Of the entire weight of the
tree.
8. DO not trim when the tree bl5eds.
When the preceding suggestions are
observed, | may add.
8. Pruning may be done at any time
when the tree is in dormant state but
the best apd safest time is when vegeta.
ton IS at rest, just at the time OF the ris.
lug Of sap.
z. Shortened in, or the extirpation of
water sprouts, may be, done all times 10
summer.
8. For dwariing and early fruitinc.
shortening in or summer pruning is essen
tial, but to be done with great deiicacy at
this season.
