SAD END OF A REMARKABLE LIFE.-The
body OF an unknown man was recently found
at a short distance from the city in hole par.
TALLY filled with water. The jury was sum.
moned, rendered an indefinite verdict, and the
matter was forgotten But there are unwrit.
ten histories that need only the touch of the
biographer's pen to tighten and expand into
romance, and one OF these was truly that of
John Michael Knappick.
He was seventy two years of age, a native
Of Wur,emburg, Germany, and in early youth
was noted scholar. After receiving
thorough scholastic education, he filled a pro.
fessors chair i'll the University of Tabingen
with much honor. During his professorship
he published several works OF theological
philosophy which were marked with much
liberal thought and sound augmentation. AT.
ter vacating the University chair he studied
for the priesthood, gained much celebrity as
scminarian and finally was admitted to the
priesthood.
In 1912, in common with others of his coun.
trymen, he was obliged to leave Germany and
emigrated to this country. He was engaged
in the Mexican war, and at its close took up
land i'll Missouri, upon two land warrants.
He lived upon his farm five years, cat being
his sole companion, and during that time rails
ed one Of the finest vineyards in Missouri. and
produced wines of noted excellence Indeed,
it is said he was the first to plant vineyard on
the Mississippi, at Hermann.
There, from some difficulty with his neigh
bors, he sold out and resumed his cosmopolitan
career He taught in the languages, and was
an attache of the Stats Zeitung newspaper in
this city for two years. This was in 1853 and
1854, and he then lived by himself on Wells
street, and amassed by his industry and tru.
gality quite little sum. Then he left for
New York, and resumed his vocation as a
teacher of languages.
A year since he returned to the west, and
. went to Minnesota, whence a short time ago
he wrote to an acquaintance here tnat he
should about this time make him a visit The
next heard of him he is the subject of the
coroner's jury. 1t is singular fatality that
the death by the way" to avoid which he
made long journeys on foot, overlook him in
pitfall an active urchin OF ten years could
have passed safely over. He has in later years
dreaded and declined travelling by public steam
conveyances, and met his tate in his lonely
foot journey.
There was scarcely German in this coun-
try more widely known among his countymen
than Knappick, and all knew him to he pos
sessed of rare endowments and still rarer cul-
tivation of the same. Soldier, college pro
lessor, teacher, vineyard proprietor, patriot,
exile, the summing up of all was, unknown
man found drowned" Such is life

QUALITIES OF DIFFERENT PoTAToEs.-Mr.
C. w. Gleason of Holden, Mass, gives his
views in a late article in the Country Gentle,
man, which we reprint for the information OF
our readers He says Il raised 40 varieties
-27 of them being seedlings, originated by
Rev. c. E. Goodrich of Utica. First in quail
ty, hardness, and productiveness, is the Gar
net Chill. Being late variety it did not fully
ripen l consider the Garnet superior to the
Prince Albert or Davis Seeding, being better
in quality, yielding nearly double, and being
entirely free from rot. The Seal Foot l find
to be an excellent early potato--so meally that
it is very difficult to boil without bursting.
State of Maine-good, but not productive.
Peach Blow-poor, both in yield and quality,
it being so strong as not to be eatabe. Michi'
gan Redo. Jackson White-good yield
light-this latter variety stands high in the est
timation of Bostonians, it being considered bes,
in market. The St. HeIena-hardy, produc-
ing WELL and good to bake early in fall and
winter. Jenny Lind, or California; large,
coarse variety, watery, late, and very liable to
rot. Early Hill-round white, good early
pOtato-uot so good nor so early as the Early
Blue, but yields much better-is cultivated for
early market in this vicinity.

THE CAULIFLowER.-The Revue Horticole
extracts from German newspaper the method
used by the Dutch to obtain their caulihowers,
so famous for their size and delcacy. 1t is as
follows In the autumn they dig deep some
ground that has not been MANFRED at the be-
ginning of May they SOW the large English
cauliflower upon a bed OF manure, and cover
it with straw mats at night. When the young
plants are three or four inches high they har.
row the ground that has been prepared the au-
tumn before, and with a wooden dibble, eigh.
teen inches long, they make holes about ten
inches deep, at proper distances apart, and
enlarge them by working the dibblc round till
the hole at the top is about three inches in d.
ameter. They Immediately fill these holes
with water, and repeat this three times the
same day. In the evening they fill them with
Sleeps dung, leaving only room enough for
the young plant, which they very carefully re-

New METHOD OF GRAFrING.-Horace Ev.
erett of Council Bluffs, Iowa, describes
method of grating common in Tennessee that
may be worth knowing in other localities, and
which he says is not described in any fruit
book that he has read. A long smooth shoot
OR limb is selected, cut from the tree, and
sharp iron wedge driven through the limb,
every four or five inches. Upon Withdrawing
the wedge, the graft is inserted, allowing the
shaved end to extend an inch so through
so that when graft is inserted in every split,
the limb looked like a long stick, with the
gratis extending from it at right angles, shoot
OF four feet having about twelve gratis. This
stick or limb was then buried in the ground
'ghe tops of the gratis only being allowed to
come above the surface. During the past
year the gratis took root, and grew from II to
SO inches The next tall the limb was taken
up and sawed apart, between the gratis, thus
leaving every graft with portion of the limb
adhering to ii in the shape of a cross, 1t is
certainly very cheap and economical stock

PRoPAGATING GRAPEs.-Grape vines from
eyes may now be propagated. Cut the shoot
Immediately above an eye, and about an inch
below. Mix them with slightly damp moss
for couple of days or so, and then insert up
to the buds or eyes in sand with a bottom heat
of ZOE. Native grapes, having harder wood,
may be retained in the moss tor two weeks,
when the wood will be sottened sufficiently to
strike root at once. 1t will still do to propa-
gate as above, where the cuttings have been
properly taken care OF. Some persons have
fair success in planting the cuttings, with half
an inch of wood on either side the same as
corn, of course only one bud at place, in light
soil, in a warm border Gardeners Monthly.

move from the bed of manure and place in the
hole with little earth. Directly afterwards
they give them good watering and as soon
as the sun begins to dry them water them
again. Furthermore, as the plants grow they
dig around them, and earth them up IN rows
When the head is forming they pinch of some
of the lower leaves of the plants, and use them
to cover the young head.

The pines were dark on Ramoth hill,
Their song was soft and low;
The blossoms in the sweet May wind
Were falling like the snow.
The blossoms drifted at our feet,
The orchard birds sang clear;
The sweetest and the saddest day
1t seemed of all the year.
For more to me than birds or flowers,
My playmate left her home,
And took with her the laughing spring,
The music and the bloom.
She kissed the lips of kith and kin,
She laid her hand in mine;
What more could ask the bashiul boy
Who fed her fathers kline?
She left us in the bloom of May:
The constant years told DER
Their seasons with as sweet May morns,
But she came back no more.
l walk, with noiseless feet, the round
OF uneyenttul years;
Still DER and DER l sow the spring
And reap the autumn ears.
She lives where all the golden year
Her summer roses blow;
The dusky children OF the sun
II Before her come and so.
There haply with her jeweled hands
She smOOths her silken gown
No more the homespun laps wherein
l shook the walnuts down
The wild grapes wait us by the brook,
The brown nuts on the hill,
And still the May day flowers make sweet
The woods of Follymill.
The lilies blossom in the pond
The bird builds in the tree,
The dark pines sing on Ramoth hill
The slow song OF the sea.
wonder if she thinks ofthem,
And how the old time seems
If ever the pines of RamOth wood
Are sounding in her dreams.
l see her face, l hear her voice!
Does she remember mine!
And what to her is now the boy
Who led her fathers kline!
What cares she that the orioles build
For other eyes than ours,
That other hands with nuts are filled,
And other laps with flowers?
playmate in the golden time!
Our messy seat is green,
Its tringing Yiolets blossom yet
The Old trees DER it lean.
The winds SO sweet with birch and fern
sweeter memory blow;
And there i'll spring the yeeries sing
The song OF long ago.
And still the pines of Ramoth wood
Are moaning like the sea-
The moaning of the sea OF change
Beween myself and thee!
