Grating the Grape Vine.

We have met with many experienced per-
sons who have never seen the grapevine graft
ed. The process is so easy that thuunands
who are anxious to possess the newer varie-
ties should especially take care OF their old
roots and insert scions of the new. No clay
or covering of the grated part is necessary,
beyond the natural soil, below which the graft
is to be inserted Saw off your stock and
put in your scion with to or three buds, wedge
fashion as in the ceft.grafting of fruit trees,
and then cover up few inches, leaving one
or two buds above the ground where the
stock is very large and inconvenient to split

barks together, answers. Tho sprouts Of the
old stock. as they spring up to rob the CRAFTS
must bo pulled of. Crafts often bear some
fine clusters the first season of growth, and
many more the second In this way the
old stocks Of wild grapes removed from the
woods are very useful with due care. We

NARROWING TURN1Ps.-W here turnps are
sown broadcast, they may be safely narrowed
when the seed leaf is coming out. This will
check the weeds, thin the turnips and yet
leave plenty in the ground for crop.

Tomatoos-Shortenirg In.

Few gardens are now found unsupplied
with tomatoes, bat very few persons take
pains to cultivate them. The vines are usual
ly left to strangle dd '.Jitum. This is both
bad economy and bad taste. If tomatoes are
planted in rows q convenient plan is to put
up stakes on both sides of each row, and nail
on horizontal strips or stats TO keep the
vines perpendicular They may be carried
up to the height of three to FIVE feet. BY
this means the vines will show much better,
especially when covered with ripened fruit
clustering thickly upon the sides. The fruit
itself will be much superior to that mGtured
on the ground and in the shade. Strong
twine or wires may be substituted for the hor-
izoutal Stats. A cheaper process of supper.
ting tomatoes is to bush them, in the same
manner that beans or peas are treated. Our
own tomatoes are planted around the bordel
OF the garden and trained upon the fence, The
vines being upheld by strips Of leather, doub
fe8ce Win sihRn stalks and fastened to th'
Tomatoes are also benefited by shortening
! in. Three-fourths of the Elature fruit is pro
duced upon small part Of the vine nearest
TO the root, say oue-third or one-fonrth of il.
length. IL is recommended 10 stop the fur
ther development Of vines after fair supply
OF fruit is set by clipping OF the vines grow

ried TOO far, as supply Of foliage is required
to gather food from the air. Ono ofthe most
successful cutivators in our acquaintance

A New WAY OF GETTING OUT OF DEBT
A correspondent of the Montgomery (Ala.)
Mail, who signs himself Anti-Squadron,
thinks that if the prohibition of the slave
trade were removed, that the people of Ala
bama could import as many African laborers
as they needed for the construction of all the
lines of railroad they wish to construct, at
600 per head, and after doing the work
with them, sell them out at 800 head
and thus pay for The equipment of the roads
and all the expenses Of construction. and still

Ar.pcuv IN MKxrco.-The Spanish jour

ANARCHY IN MExIcO.-The Spanish jour
nais in Cuba have been strenuous supporters
up to Il late period, of President Zuloaga
and the church party in Mexico. But so
marked have been recent events in that capt.
tai that even these have been forced to come
out in condemnation of them, and a letter to
the Diario de Ia Marina gives further and
even stronger particulars than have been
hitherto published of the resort to violent
means for raising money by the Zuloago
government. According to the Spanish jour
nal, not only were Messrs. Escandon and
Bringas imprisoned unit! they paid thousands
of dollars to sustain the civil war now going
on, but officers were publicly sent TO break
open the safes of other parties and bring
away the money contained therein. 1t seems,
ioweyer, that this system Of robbery is not
confined exclusively TO the government par
ty. Its subordinates have been practising
the same plan of finance IN other places, and
Echeagaray at Jalapa and Miramop at Guam
ajaato have imprisoned wealthy citizens until
they paid large sums.
The same thing has been done by the con-
slitulionalists. Vdaurri imprisoned severn!
wealthy Spaniards al San Luis Potosi until
they paid him egh: thousand dollars; Carva-
jail forced the citizens Of rnmpico to contri-
butte nearly thirty thousand dollars for the
support of his forces as soon as he entered
that city; and the exactioLs of Zayas and
Aramberri in the west are familiar to our
readers. The system pursued by the chiefs
is initiated by every petty leader, and thus
the spirit of robbery is rife everywhere
throughou the republic. This state of things
is the natural result of the history Of Mexico
for the last thirty-fve years. In that period
there have been sixty-three changes Of the
chief magistrates, nearly all of which have
been eff cted by violence. Such n political
history cannot be expected TO show political
progress or material development The rev.
enues have either disappeared or are absorb
I'd by petty leaders the moment they are col
lected. As a necessary consequence the
struggle for life or death, now going on be-
tween the priests and the people, can only
be carried on by punderng friend and foe
alike.

In THE FIELD AeAiN.-Ex-Gov. Jones of
this State is up in Illinois canvassing for
Douglass. The eccentrclies of genius are
wonderful, and as unaccountable in their
movements, though not quite so brilliant, rs
the erratic stranger now blazing through
the northern heavens. As it were but week
ago, Lean Jimmy was "heaven. descended
whig;" yesterday, the blatant advocate Of
modern democracy; and today he is helping
the Douglass to defeat the Administration
Well, 60 your way, old follow-we meier ex-
pect to look upon your like again. Seriously,
we have often regretted the unmeasured
abuse heaped upon ex-Gov. Jones because of
his political tergiversalions; but it is, per-
haps, worthy of remark, that since he fell
from his high estate into the arms of Loco
focoism, he seems to have lost the power of
stability and fxedness, and is attracted first
in one direction and then IN another by the
ftful lights which occasionally show them
selves above the political horizon. In poll
tics, as in the better and happier relations of
life, when integrity is abandoned the descent
is easy and the end not far off.

TROUBLE IN THE VIRGINIA DEMocRACY.-
II is some what amusing, says the Baltimore
Patriot, to observe the bitter luminosity and
disaffeclion which exists among the democra-
CIV of Virginia. 1t is emphatically n house
divided against itself. Prominent politicians
and journals are completely ut lOggsrheads.
Seeing this improbable condition of things,
the Alexandria (Va) Sentinel has become
troubled, and says
"The new system of p-oce dure towards
members of their own party adopted by q
number of the Democratic journals Of our
State, and particularly by some Of the Rich
mond editors, is by no means CONNER ding
itself to the appreciation Of the people, or
vindicating its wisdom by its results. The
fact is, we view these demonstrations both
with pain and alarm; and unless the calm,
impartial, disinterested mass Of the party
come to the rescue, there is great danger,
there is almost certainty, that the invincible,
indivsible phalanx of the Virginia Democra-
cy will speedily be replaced by discordant
and belligerent factions.
"Already we see men high in position
among the Democrats Of the STATE, criticised
and assailed with pens rs unsparing as have
hitherto been used only by our toughest
writer's against our most daring foes. This
is indeed most remarkable Illustration OF
the principle of fraternity, and must work
out the most unhappy Consequences
What is to become of an army that delights
to shoot down its own tried and trusted

FINANcIAL.-Some time in the early part
Of 1856, Convention of Delegates-caIled
Know Nothings-assembled in the City OF
Philadelphia to nominate candidate for the
Presidency, and startled the world, both
heathendom and christendom, 10y resolving
that they believed in the existence of u Su-
preme Being. That resolve, deliberately
made, has been standing text for jokes and
ridicule in the democrats papers ever since
The other day at Nashville, some half dozen
magnates Of the democratic party assembled
to fix programme for the next State can
vass and put down sort of platform for
their followers 70 harmonic upon in regard
to the vexed ana vexatious currency question.
After protracted and arduous session, they
have sent forth the following as the result
Of their labors:--
"That such reforms should be made in our
currency during the existence Of the present
Banks rs will insure sound circulating me-
dium, convertible at all times into gold and

RED AND WHITE Wharf.-The following
rather curious and Ito fariDers) interesting
revelation, we find liz the Chambersburg pa J
Spirit:
From what we hear from our country
friends and see in our exchange papers, it ap-
pears that the weevi confines its destructive
operations exclusively TO white wheat. In
some instances, where part Of a field was in
wi tie wheat and the remainder in red, the
white was destroyed whilst the red sustained
no injury whatever. In Lancaster county,
many Of the farmers intend to raise red
wheat altogether till the 'weevil disappears,
and it might be well for our franklin county
farmers to do so too. In some parts of Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania, the wheat crop
was almost entirely destroyed for several
years in succession by. the weeyil: II its
ravages can be stopped by cuitIvating red
wheat only, our farmers will certainly do
well to give the white wheat the go-by till
the weeyil disappears.
