In pursuance Of orders from the War De
partmcnt, the recruiting service throughout
the country has been discontinued. The rea-
son Of this measure 10 that the army is full
recruiting having beet very active for the
past year. This activity is attributable to
two cauGs-the stringepcy Of the times and
ths increased pay Of the soldier. The pay
Of American soldiers h very much better
than that Of the soldiers Of any other nation.
Ordinary privates receive eleven dollars per
month IN the foot service and twelve dollars
In the cavalry. This psy goes on whether

WILD PLuNs---An intelligent writer in
the Wisconsin Farmer urges with much
good sense, reasons why every farmer should
plant the wild plum in such locations where
the trees may have the benefit OF sunshine
Some varieties Of the wild plum when plant
ed in good locations, are nearly If not quite
equal 10 many OF the cultivated kinds. In
addition, the trees are more hardy and Ger
tain to bear every year. Besides, the
stocks Of the wild plum are valuable for en-
grating upon them the best varieties ofthe
cultivated plum. and it has proven to be the
most successful way, for obtaining speedily
and with certainty the best quality Of this
fruit. As this is the season Of the year for
planting trees, the attention OF farmers is

says that no minister was ever treated witt
more kindness and consideration by his owl
government than Mr. Forsyth, whose suspi

whether rightfully or wrongfully, he is under
stood to have been the first foreign minister t.

the usurped government of Zuloago, for mani

sustains the recent statement in the general

1t is not true, as has been generally report
