Grating Stone Fruit.

It is mistaken idea that many enter tain, that there is difficulty attending graft ing stone fruit. It may as safely and as surely be performed with the plum and cherry as with the apple and pear. A little more care may be necessary, from the fact that the wood of these fruits does not split so easily, and a greater care be- comes necessary, in consequence ot the different arrangement of the bark, which. with the apple and pear, is easily cleft with the wood, while on trees producing stone fruit, it runs around the stalk, rem dering it liable to be irregularly torn, un- less precautions are taken in cleaving 10 insert the graft. .h1
 Hence, we find 1t necessary to make a longitudinal slit in the bark, with very sharp knife, previous to cleaving the wood, which should also be done with sharp in- strument. Sometimes, when the bark wasvery firm, and disposition was shown in the cuticle to curl, we have found 1t necessary to secure it in it's place by q bandage, and for this purpose we have used an India rubber ring, cut conslder- ably smaller than the stalks, and drawn over it when rendered pliable by warm ing. This will hold the bark in it's place until it heals, when the bandage may be taken of. Another cause of failure in grating stone fruit, arises from the delay which attends the operation. To be sue cessful, it should be done before the frost starts at all. We Gin lat. 42 deg. 20 min. ) have performed the operation early in March-when It was so cold we were obliged to have pan of coals with us to warm the wax, in order to keep it pliable with entire success. It may be per formed from that time forward, but more care is necessary, and more doubtful suc- cess will attend if they live at all.
 Grating large trees may sometimes succeed very well but as a general thing, we cannot recommend 1t. The better way is to get the right kind of stocks, and graft near the ground, when the trees are no larger than persons thumb. Then, if the scion is like to outgrow the stock, earth can be placed around it, to give strength, and it may be, new roots. to the scion.-lP Plough, Loom and Anvil. aaa

 A REvoLurIoNARY CHARACTER. An amusing affair occurred, not many years ago, at a Fourth of July celebration m an interior town in Pennsylvania. Reyolu. tionary veterans were becoming very hard to find, yet procession with no old sol. dier in it was not to be willingly submitted to. An honest old German of Revolu. tionary repste was discovered at the last hour. An open carriage was assigned to him in the programme, and a seat at the Presidents right hand atthe table When pressed after dinner to give his remlnl- scences of Washington, his recollections were found to be rather indefinite. But something being said about Yorktown, he remarked s'h~

Culture of the Potato.

A friend sends us the following, as what he believes the bestmeans yet known for avoiding the potato disease;
 |. Be content with a medium crop, say 100 to 150 bushels to the acre, selecting land but moderately rich, and using no stimulating manure. The land should be lightish loam, easily permeable by water; aud it would be we'll if it had been treated with no stimulant, nitrogenous ma nure, the preceding year, q sss tas
 2. Let the land be brought into fine tith by means of the plough and harrow, to the depth of five or six inches, as early as may be in the Spring. Furrow both ways, at distance of three feet, letting the plough incline to the mould-board side, so as to give broad, shallow fur row of about three nchesdeep. 9e4i9 B. As manure for one acre take 50 bushels of charcoal dust, or if this is not at hand, 50 bushels of dry, well cured peat, or if neither of these is convenient- | iy to be had, 50 bushels of turf, piled up the Summer previous and rotted down to a fine powder with little lime; add 10 bushels of unleached ashes; 5 bushels of oys ter shell lime, or common slaked lime or leached ashes, whichever can be obtain ed with the least trouble; ? bushels of plaster; 1 bushel of bone-dust, and l bushel of common salt; mix the whole thoroughly together, and throw it into the crossings. a little less thanga plnt in each, in that careless sort of way, which will cause it to spread itself over at least a square foot. ssavs a
 4. For seed, select sound potatoes of medium size or little less, and plant one in a hil,- and never more than one, if 1t be ever so small without cutting. Plant as early as can be done with safety to the crop from Spring frosts. Should the weather be wet after planting, shallow covering would be the best. If it should be dry. deep covering would be more fa- vorabls. It would be perhaps the safest, over such manure as 1 have prescribed, to cover the seed nearly three inches deep, which would bring the top of the hill just about even with the average level oi the | field ps
 5. For the first hoeing, the harrow or cul.ivator nigh, be run through both ways, and the plants should be weeded, but not hlled, or at most but very litlle. Let the whole surface of the field be lett very nearly level. !. .igas, ;,
 6. For the second hoeing, which should be very soon after the first, before the tops begin to leave. a similar course might be followed, except that broad, but rather low hills should be formed. .asala. ,. :. lET An acre so planted would have 4,S4O |hills, which would give, at only one quart to the bill, 15l bushels, worth, at 50 cents the bushel, S75,50.-[Country Gentle man. .N al Iilah la all a.l

General Jackson's Wife.


 Mr. Parton tells the following story ot General Jackson's wife:
 When General Jackson was a. candl- date for the Presidency, in 1928, not only did the party opposed to him abuse him for his public acts, which, II unconstltu' tonal or violent, were legitimate subject of reprobation, but they detamed the char acler of his wife. On one occasion a newspaper published in Nashville was lald upon the Generals able. He glanced over it, and his eye fell upon an article in which the character of Mrs. Jackson was violently assailed. So soon as he read 1t he sent for his trusty old servant Dun woodie. ...m,g...sf
 :. Saddle my horse" said he to him, in a whisper, :" and put my holsters on him" Mrs. Jackson watched him, and though she heard not word, she thought she saw mischief in his eyes, The General went out after few moments, when she took up the paper and understood every thing. She ran out to the south gate of the yard to the Hermitage, by which the General would have to pass. She had not been there more than few seconds before the General rode up with the countenance of madman. She placed herself before his horse, and cried out: "Oh, General, don't go to Nashville Let that poor editor live!1 9N -aa Let me alone," he replied, "@how came ycu to know what I am going for?" @@e
 She answered, a'ozi osis 2a'Aaaia II saw it all in the paper after you went output up your horse and come back" '.7
 He replied furously, las ass"
 But i Diu go-get out of my way !"
 Instead of doing this she grasped his bridle with both hands. 5, 9 ~ 70 a@
 He cried to her, 't@ se5 t-
 "I say, let go my horse; I'll have hl' hearts blood villain that reviles my wife shall not live v @@ e4@
 She grasped the reins but the tighter and began to expostulate with him, s'y ing that she was the one who ought to bs angry, but that she forgave her persecu tors from the bottom of her heart, ant prayed for them; that he should forgive if he hoped to be forgiven. At last, b! her reasoning, her entreaties, and he Itears, she so worked upon her husband that he seemed notified to a certain ex tent. She wound up by saying,
 "No, General, you shall not take th' life of even my reviler-you dare not d lit. for it is written, Vengeance IS mine I will repay, saith the Lord!'
 The iron nerved hero gave way befor Ithe earnest pleading of his beloved wife and replied,
 "I yield to you; but had it not bee for you and the words of the Almighty the wretch should not have lived a lhour."

TIE CAPTURED AFRICANS TO BE RE- TURNED TO AFRIcA.--Tbe government has entered into contract with the Colo nization society to take the thousand cap tured Africans, now at Key West, to Liberia, for the sum ot S5O,OOo. The bill which passed the Senate authorizes the President to make all future arrange ments with this society to return 10 Li- beria all the Africans captured. It bids fair to be very profitable business for the society, and will undoubtedly replenlsn their present exhausted treasury. Thus thls humane society is likely to get rlch out of the slave trade.
