Town Trees.

No more is every tree town tree. than
is every man made to live on pavement
and amid piles OF brick and mortar. Those
trees which grow very large, are not suit
able, nor those subject to attacks of insects
nor tender trees, nor weeping trees, nor
those which cannot endure smoke and
dust and hard usage generally. Consld-
ering the great number of species and va
rieties, native and foreign, one might sup
pose, at first, that it would be an easy
matter to find suitable trees in aoundancs,
but is it not so. Some sorts flourish we'll
for ten or fifteen years, but afterwards be-
come large and top-heavy, and are blown
down by sudden gusts of wind Some
prosper finely when young, but when the
bark happens to get little injured by &C
cident, the growth is suddenly checked,
the foliage becomes sickly, and the tree
unsightly. Others make SO rampant q
growth that their foliage hides the view
of the houses behind them, and renders
the wall damp and unhealthy.
What is chiefly wanted in town tree is
that it grows slow, never becomes very
large, be proof against insects, bear pru>
ming well, and accidental injuries also,
and in short be very hardy. No tree, to
our knowledge, possesses all of these qual.
tiles perfectly, yet some do, more than
others. For example, the American
White Elm, the common English Elm,
English Linden, Mountain Ash, Norway
Maple and most of our native naples, the
Horse Chestnut, the Red and White Beech,
and the much aoused Alanthus. Disa-
greeable as is the oder of the flowers of
this last named tree, We believe experi>
ence shows that it is in many respects very
desirable for planting in towns. IL will
bear smoke, dust, and any amount of
abuse. Somebody has styled it the Net
ropoltan Tree" This is certainly moro
appropriate than the heavenly" appella>
ton with which it Was first introduced
from abroad.
The above trees are proper for setting
by the sdes of streets. For open squares
or parks, we may go further, and include
the magnolias, tulip tree, larch, coffec.tree
yellow wood, Judas tree, various oaks, The
chesnut, and an assortment of conifers -

BY little care on the part of those
who have control of the planting, the

Untidy Housekeeping = Women not
Always at Fault.

[PRIvArE NoTE.-What follows Is not fol-
housekeepers to read themselves, but for them
to lark, and place whore their poorer halves
will be pretty sure to see it.
It's very well, Mr.. Editor, to be lectured
about our housekee ping, to be told of the
comfort, the felicity, and all that sort OF
thing, which q tidy, well-kept house will
afford, but for one, Pm getting q little
impatient that writers generally take it
for granted that the ladies alone are re-
sponsible in this matter; that if dust col
lects on the furniture, if litter is strewn
on the carpet, if the table linen Is not
snowy white and the cooking stove Jet
black in short, if everything is mott in the
very best "apple-pie" order, it is because
the mistress of the house is slattern.
That may be the case, admit, but again,
it may not be. Here is an illustration
My friend Mrs. F. lives in two>story
house on tbs main village street, where
there is almost constant travel over the
unpaved road. Much of the time, clouds
OF dust fill the air, and come sitting
through every crevice, settling down upon
the carpets and furniture, and reducing
everything TO most nndelightful uni
formity OF color. The good won an sweeps
and dusts, to little purpose-to keep
clean, she would have to dust the .air
itself Now, when that house was built,
she tried her best to have Mr.. f. law the
foundation further back from the street /;
there was room enough; but no, he must be
on line with his neghbors. One would
think he might now fill the small yard
with trees, to exclude part Of the dust, or
cover the road with gravel, or occasionally
spread tan bark over it, to keep it from
rising; but instead of that, he wonders
that Mrs F. does not keep the parlor
neater. When it rains, the dust settles
into mud, and Mr.. F. looks bad words at
the tracks on the kitchen floor, but he
has never laid even plank walk from the
street to the door, and the edge of the
sill is the only foot scraper. Mrs. +. long
ago asked for closet with hooks for
hats and clothing and shelves for the
children's books but to this day, these
articles are distributed about upon the
mantel piece and on nails driven into the
wall that is, when she places them there,
for the boys initiate their father, and lay
their things on the first vacant chair or
in an unoccupied corner. His lordshir
uses the stove for a spittoon, and the table
cloth for napkin; he smokes in the sit.
ting room, and mends his harness in the
kitchen, and thanks Mrs. F. for her con.
slant endeavors to be tidy under such
difficulties, by wishing she would keep q
neater house. If any one wants further
evidence that the men need q share of the
lecturing, let them visit the house where
the wife has been absent few days, and
my word for it, they will be ready to make
some allowances FOR the apparent short
comings Of tho HousEKEErER.

CENSUS OF DELEwARE. The Wilmington
Gazette has the complete returns of the
census of the State of Delaware, from
which we learn that there are in the State
1l0,542 free persons, and 1905 slaves, or
ll2,3l7 inhabitants altogether l9,257
dwellings, l9,264 families, 6,666 farms, 6l5
slave owners. There are 254 slaves in
New Castle county, 203 in Kent, and
l,348 in Sussex. In 1850 there were in
Newcastle 347, Kent 1893, and Sussex
l,549-total 1900. There has therefore
been general decrease of slaves all over
the State, reaching in the aggregate 485.
The total increase in the population Of the

AN ELECTIoNEERING DopGB.-A New

vote for this time ?" The reply is 'for
-, of course" 81, IL bet you twenty you
don't" is the answer, you'll change yt ur
mind before election day." The nger
is unsuspectingly accepted, when the bet~
ting politician goes in pursuit of another
victim On election day ho will chal-
lenge every greenhorn with whom he has
made bet, and each one will, as mat
ter of course, not only lose his vote but

CARRIER PIGEON ExPRsss.- The general
agent oil the New York Associated Press
was in our village few days since for the
purpose Of locating some carrier pigeons
which the Association are about to EN-
ploy for the purpose OF intercepting the
Unbound European steamers, off Fire Is
land. The same parties have, for many
years past, employed pigeons at Halifax,
N. s., and at Sandy Hook, where they
have proved of great service, and have,
doubtless, contributed in no small degree
to the Associations worldwide reputation
for successful enterprise in outstripping
all their opponents-whether editors,
news agents or speculators-in the early
reception of European news. Prompted
by their past success, and inspirited, per-
haps, somewhat oy the expressed deter
mination of majority Of the directors of
the American Telegraph Company to
strangle the Associated Press, and them
selves control oil the news of the old
world and the new, the Association have,
we understand, decided to extend their
Pigeon Express to every point along the
seaboard, from New York to Cape Race,
where it is possible to have the steamers
intercepted. Among the points that are
thus to be covered in addition 10 Halifax,
Sandy Hook and Fire Island are, we un-
derstand, Mon!auk Point, Nantucket,
Portland, St. Johns, N. F., and Cape
Race. The breed OF birds used by the
Association are the celebrated Antwerp
carriers, which, when properly trained
and used, will, we are reliably assured, fly
at the rate of ono mile PEI minute and
unerringly, from the point where they
are thrnwn up, to their home. Each bird
will carry, when properly adjusted to its
.egs, matter enough to make a column of
newspaper-LongI Island Democrat.
