G@y- Senator Wilson has charged in the Sem
ate, that Bennett of the New York Herald, has
the copyright Of Helpers book, about which so
much has been said, and that be published its
contents in order to get it into both Houses of
Congress, and thus advertise it to the world
Though, for the sake of the record | will here
say that no such statement appears in the Globe,
the official reporter. To this, Bennett replies in
the Herald style g Such statement" he says,
g from such a source, is, indeed, unaccountable.
In the ordinary course of things it could only
have proceeded from the lips of Natiek cob
bier, while mending old negro's brogans.--
Heretofore we had supposed that Henry Wilson,
a Senator from Massachusetts, howsoever we
may have differed from him in political matters,
IS a gentleman in his habits, characteristics
I j feeling. We are obliged to apply the good
Did English term-the word used in the time OF
Milton and Dryden and Shakspeare-and to de-
nounce Mr.. Wilson's statement as alie."

Planting Fruit Trees.

= writer in the Alta gives the following ex-
cit advice to persons about to plant fruit trees,
70 which we direct the attention of our readers:
Before a tree IS set out, let it be put down as
indispensable to the full expansion of its roots,
and the safety OF the tree in years of trial, that
the gro I'D be plowed deeply as possible Let
The holes be spaded deep, and the ground well
puverized. BY clean cut, lop Off all seriously
bruised roots, and give every root all the room
you can; do not curl nor crowd them-and
leave no hollow space when you Eli in around
them. The tree should when settled, stand
about the same depth as in the nursery
Do not be anxious to have your trees tall
The process of transplanting destroys so much
root, however well done, that there must be q
'rrespcading cutting down Of theupper growth.
an the next season the head of the tree will then
be much finer and fuller
Do not allow branches to be cut near the
ground. The stems need their protection, to
save it from sun-scald
1t is a safe rule that the younger the tree You
transplant the more vigorous. more fruitful and
more hardy it will prove in the end. No one
advantage is gained BY getting large trees of
three and tour years growth
Keep The surface loose and clear of weeds In
the month OF June (aocordugas the dryness in-
dieatesl mulching Of straw and earth over the
roots, affords priceless protection against
drought. If You irrigate afterward, pull away
the mulching as you water, and return it imme-
diately. When the first rain falls in November,
the mulching shonld be opened.
you irrigate, DO it in July; full watering
then is better than three sparingly applied
After the first week of August, do not water,
except to save a tree that is in danger Water
like medicine, needs caution against excessive
to protect the tree, and chiefly 10 carry il
through the first years weakness, till its de-
strcyed roots are restored. But experience
alone can give reliable rules for irrigation; they
will vary in different soils and seasons, and with

The BENIoIA BoY.-By the steamer Asia,
which left New York on the evening of January
4th, Mr.. John c. Heenan took his departure,
with the object of keeping his engagement to
fight Tom Sayers for the championship. The
New York Tribune of the Sd January says:-
=" Heenan remained at the Atlantic Hotel in Ho-
boken on Tuesday night, where he was ineffec-
tually sought for by the Rochester and Buffalo
officers who were endeayoring to effect his ar
rest. At II o'clock Yesterday forenoon Heenan,
accompanied by three friends, came to Jersey
City, and, while the officers were quietly watch
ing for him to come on board over the gang
plank, where passengers get on board, he was
quietly ushered on board on the other side of
the vessel and entered the cabin, where he bid
farewell to a number of acquaintances and was
then slowed away. The fact becoming known
that Heenan was to sail on the Asia, large
number of his friends came over from New York,
and it was generally understood that the Off
GERS would not be allowed to take their man
under any circumstances. Cusick, Heenan's 5
trainer, was also on board the Asia"
