TOMATOES.

The, greatest difficulty generally expert
cnced in raising good tomatoes, is their be-
ing killed by the frost before they get fully
ripe. To obviatc this, they should be start
ed in hot-beds, as early as the first of April.
If hot.bed is not convenient, they can be
started in the house, in boxes, set in the
kitchen window, or elsewhere; but care
should be taken that they are exposed to the
sun, and outdoor air, as much as possible,
e. ,,ecially few days before transplanting.
When the weather will admit Of their
being transplauted, they should be taken up
with as much dirt on the roots as possible,
and set out four and half Or five feet apart,
each way. Holes should be made large e,
nough to admit the roots, with dirt attached,
and if filled with water, the plants will not
be as apt to wilt. After being ser in the
holes, and the dirt pressed we'll around, they
should be we'll hilled up. If planted in
rich soil, the fruit will be finer, but will not
ripen as early as when planted on poorer
After the vines have attained nearly their
full size, if the ground is rich, they will
generally need to be propped up in some
way or other, to prevent their looping over
into the dirt.-Rural american.

THE DERNIER RESORT.

They tell the following story Of Alexander
Dumas, Jr., in Paris, g year or two ago:
Soulouque sent an Envoy to France, charg-
ed with private mission, and armed with full
powers. Shortly after the sable minister's
arrival, he caused himself to be presented
to Alexander Dumas, Sen., whose papa, as
everybody knows or ought to know, was a
magnificent general, of a molasses color
Dumas senior was shade lighter than was
his parent, being Of saddle tint, and Dumas
Junior, son of Dumas senior, pretends to be
almost white. So be is-in the dark.
The Haytien envoy, after automatically
beating about the bush for considerable time,
finally came to the business, and wound up
by informing the astonished novelist that.his
(the envoy's) mission to France, was for the
purpose of demanding the hand in marriage
of Dumas, junior, for her Imperial Highness,
Princess Olive, daughter of the Emperor Of
all the Hayties.
The hand of Alexander cried father
Dumas, thunderstruck. Goodness gracious
gracious! Goodness! The colored pusson

Monte Cristo bears the enviable reputation
of never having deliberately said disagree

if we were to demand Prince we could be

that's the ticket! He may write as many
books and plays down there as he chooses.

It really seemed a hard case; and the good
hearted apothecary helped him to what he
supposed to be common stiff horn of pure
spirit of alcohol. The man drank it Oft !;
gave him one wild look; spread his two
hands over the abdominal portion Of his
person, and, immediately vacated the premi-
ses. The apothecary was startled; ""hat
was the matter %. He took the vessel from
which he had ,pouredthe, devouFipg fluid,
and found that he had given the man, in
mistake, I" bumper of .aquafortis'! He was
half frightened to death. The man left his
hat behind him, and the apothecary, bare
headed, rushed out with it in his hand, his
hair flying in the wind, and made hot pur-
suit after the fugitive. But he was hopeless
II gone. Whats Al e Of anxiety the poor
fellow lived for sumo three months! He was
afraid to open the daily newspapers, lest ne
should see recorded the mysterious and mel
ancboly death of his yictim,in the public
streets. At length, his fear, however, died
away. Nothing was heard from the missing
sufferer, until six months from the event,
wien, one Sunday morning, who should
walk into the shop, but the identical individ-
ual himself?

But the apothecary eoptented himself this
time, by giving bis returned customer glass

had left the time before.

CURIOUS DIVORCE CAsE.-A suit for divorce
has just been commenced here says the Rochester Uio
agalI st Edwin W. Collins by his wife, who is well known
as an estimabe lady. They were married in 1880 or
thereabous and lived as husband and wife than
twenty years. The maiden name Of Mrs. Co, Inns waa
Pease and she ia sister Of the noted New York mis-
sionaty oy that name, and has also brother wno is
clergyman In Boston II is said that she brought as
dowry 10 her husband five thousand dollars, which gave
him successful start in fe They bave no children
few months Collins went to Indiana and by the loose
statues OF that State obtained divorce or something
called divorce, from his wife. This spring he mar
ried sRan Suspension Bridge and some thirty days az
ter had his marriage Published here hang from Indiana
told that he married the Brdgetelling the
preacher that no little romantic in his noops and
wanted to have the ceremony performed that great
work Of art suspended the roaring flood. He waa
gratiGed, and the ceremony was performed Some
lcious persons minated that Mr. Collins selected
this place for the marriage ceremony that uncertainty
might fe whether II performed In the State Of New
Yoik or Canada The suit now instituted will no doubt
be vigorously prosecuted The trial may possibly test the
validity Of the Indiana divorce ard the subsequent
roge on the Bridge We believe late decisions
have been made in his State which show these Wild cat
divorces TO be worthless ia ths and other enlightened
