Time to Plant Evergreens.

We find that the old, exploded doc,
inc that August is the best time 10 trans
,,lant Evergreens, is not yet abandoned,
but is advocated in agricultural journals
With earnestness. We trust, however,
dat no one will be misled with any argu
,tent of this kind, whatever may be its
,,eciousness and plausibility. Those who
ave tried both Spring and August, will
know how to proceed in future without
advice from any one.

their work as though they were digging

THE HERALD PREDICTS AN EX-
pLOSION.

The n. Y. Herald believes that the Ma
tional Convention system for nominating
Presidents will como to an end by the ex-
plosion of the Charleston convention of 1900
Wise and his friends will go into that con-
vention, it says, holding to the doctrine Of
the Southern Democracy in behalf of spc-
cial legislation by Congress for the protec-
ton of Slavery in all the Territories, from
the perpetual SHOWS of Nebraska to the
searching deserts of Arizona douglas
has issued his ultmatum of Congressional
non-intervention and popular sovereignty
over the subject of Slavery in the Terrific
ries." ale will 60 to Charleston fully con-
WINGED that the southern wing of the conven-
ton will demand him for the guilotne, and
fully resolved to pay them back in their own
COIN Thus ANONYMOUSLY expelled from
Charleston, and left free to manage his
northern democratic legions as n Northern
Party the Herald says he will lose no time
in acting for himself {; and thus it assumes
that there will be four sectional parties and
Tickets in the tield,-that Seward, Douglas,
Wise, and Goggin, will be the men, and that
a failure to elect by the people will be inev
table, and that the candidates to go before
the House of Representatives will be Seward,
Douglas, and Wise. In that case it thinks
Douglas has an even chance with Seward
"ln this alternative Of an election by Con-
gress, we shall at least have the benefit of n
tribunal of responsibility and responsibility,
compared with the INSCRIPTIONS and irres-
ponsiblo gamblers and vagabonds of II ma
tional party Convention.
Accordingly, let all hands prepare for the
contingencies of sectional scrub race in
1860 and an election by the House. And
why should the democracy be alarmed? In
an od-fashioned national fight of two parties
they would be annihllated but in Il sectional
scrub race a solid remnant of the party may
perhaps be saved, and the President and the
bulk OF the spoils.

A HINT TO THE POsTMASTERs.

The subioincd article from the n. Y. Eve.
delays and mistakes which so often occur in
the Transmission Of mail matter, and we are
glad to sec that the need and the possibility of
Improvements in that respect is admtted at
Washington. The admission may lead to a
change for the better bye and bye. But the
delays and mistakes of distributing offices
account for but a small part of the troubles
Complaints of remlssncss in promptly dcs-
patching letters and papers mis-sending them
although plainly directed, and of their en-
tire loss, especially when from their political
character, their contents are unsavory to the
administration, are heard on every hand.
We all remember that Senator Douglas bold
ly charged in Congress upon the Department
that there had been an almost entire sup
preston by the Post-officcs of political pam
phlets sent by him into Illinois last year, and
we believe his charges were met by very faint
denials by his democratic antagonists.
The late caution from the p. o. Depart
ment at Washington to thos2 sending money
or valuables in letters not to register letters
which were to 60 through the Chicago Post
Office, as frequent derredations had been
committed in that quarter, shows that dis
honest officials are no scarcity in some parts
Of the country. As there will be, undoubt-
eddy, very large number of Postmasters
here this week to attend the Democratic State
Convention we suggest the expediency of
their giving some attention to the subject of
the mail business in this State we mean
that part of it which concerns getting letters
and papers promptly and correctly sent and
and delivered. An interchange of views on
the best way of serving the people, rather
than themselves, could do no harm, and
might do some good.

FEATs OF STRENGTH Geo. B. Wind
ship, of Roxbury, Mass, seems to have prac-
tised successfully according to the ancient
story of the wrestler who began with carrying
young calf one day, and by repeating his
effort crry day, was able to carry the crca-
ture with equal case, when he had become u
full-slzed OK. lie began training himself
when in his 18th year, at college, and had
kept 1T up. He gave illustrations of his
power and discoursed on the subject OF gym
nastcs in Boston, a few days ago.
Gymnasiums, he showed, had their abuses,
from persons not properly trained trying to
out-do others. Exhaustion and WEAKNESS
should never be allowed to come. Lifting
was neglected branch, on account of the
tendency Of people to injure themselves with
it. Yet to n thorough hardening of the
whole body, lifting was necessary. lie had
commenced with FIVE hundred pounds, and
had increased gradually, till ON the 10Th of
May past, he had lifted nine hundred and
twenty-six lbs.
Not long since, with his hands and back
together, he had lifted 1900 pounds. There
was vast difference between lifting and sus-
tanning. lie would not advise any one to
train themselves to lift over 500 pounds with
the hands, or 1000 with the straps lie had
gone beyond that to ascertain what could be
done. Tottcn and the Belgian giant were
the only persons he had ever learned anthem
tically to have lifted 800 pounds. Tottcn
lived 100 years ago. and was 80 years old
when he lifted it. DR.. W. said he had five
years yet to that, and he hoped to train him
sell to lift 1000 pounds clear.
Next to lifting, dumb bells were useful.
One of his own weighed l4l pounds. and
others 100 pounds each. He was feet I
inches high, and weighed 153 pounds. In
reference to practiclng, he would say, try no
feat twice on the same day, if it was found
to tire or exhaust in the slightest degree.
lie handled bells of o. and 9S lbs weight,
at arms-length, brandished them over his
head, and made other displays, to show the
assembly that some things can be done as
well as others, by some folks.

| How GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS ARE MADE
The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Journal says
1t isa curious fact, that contracts are gen
orally made during the recesses of Congress,
and whenever representative or some potent
local politician (of the orthodox stamp) is
seen here now, it is safely surmised that he
Is looking after the proposals " of a friend
The contracts are, Of course, awarded to the
lowest bidder. But if it can be ascertained
exactly what amount of each article will
probably be required, bidder can afford to
supply those little called for at half-prce,
and thus reduce his aggregate of bids. This
artlul dodge has enriched many a contractor,
although it occasionally runs one. For ex-
ample, stationery contractor had offered to
supply skins of parchment for commissions,
at . cents each, and thus received q good
profit on pens, ink and paper, for but few of
the skins were wanted. But the Mexican
war broke out, hundreds of new officers were
appointed, scores of old ones were promoted,
and so many blank commissions were ordered
that the contractors loss was over six thou
sand dollars.
This month the contracts for materials for
the Navy, for anthracite coal, and for the
stationery for the use of the House of Repre-
sentatives at its next session, are to be award
ed. The honorable gentlemen will probably
keep up brisk correspondence, as upwards
OF million of envelopes are to be furnished,
besides some three thousand reams of envel-
oping paper. No fancy articles are now sup
piled as stationery, but members sometimes
make their own purchases. knew a mem

\ correspondent Of the Boston Courier
states that about sixty years ago Gen. Zeb-
ina Curtis of Windsor, VT, discovered that
ginseng, which the Chinese prize so highly,
grew in the woods of Vermont, and acquir-
ing the art of preparing it for market, after
the Chinese fashion, he collected it in Yer
mont, Northern New York and Canada,
gradually increasing his business, till he
sent forty thousand dollars worth from Bos-
ton in single year To keep up the price,
his agents in China never exposed but a
small quantity for sale at time. His profits
were large. One Of his workmen, for a val
liable constellation, disclosed his secret Of
'chrystalizng. Others went into the bus
iness. Large quantities were gathered and
exported. The market was gluttcd, and the
price rapidly fell, 50 low that the business
ceased to be profitable.

for Glasgow, struck an iceberg on the 9th.
one hundred and eighty miles east of St.
Johns, in dense fog. She struck under
water Il little abaft the port bow, and stove
in one Of her forward plates. The pumps
were quickly set going and sails and bedding
lowered over into the boats. All the male
passengers assisted the crew in working the
pumps and bailing There was a dense fog all
Monday and Monday night, with rain, wind
fresh but sea smooth. At noon of Tuesday
the ship was found to be distant from St
Johns A. miles, all hands working vigorous
ly at the pumps and battling, to keep the
ship from sinking. The water was only kept

six o clock, Tuesday morning, a number of
the male passengers had become exhausted,
and yet the severe labor imposed upon them
