ScrOfula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, BY which this fluid becomes vitiated
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il,
pcrvatles the whole body, and may burst ou,
in disease Oh any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variou>l,
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis.
ordered or unhealthy food. impure air, fill
and filthy habits, the depressing Wees and
above all, by the vcncrcal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con.
stitution, descending " from parents to chiltlre,
unto the third and fourth generation indeed

Its effects commence by deposition from tn.

arc still rendered fatal by this faint in the

French Method Of CullivatinS ille TO-
D1lNtO.

The best French gardeners are quite par
ticular about topping their plants, so that
ms nice balance may be maintained be-
tween fruit and leaves as in a peach tree.
They are not satisfied with mere topping
as soon as there arc plenty Of flowers, and
with pinching Of laterals afterwards. Their
method is this: AS soon as cluster Of
flowers is visible, they top the stem down
to the cluster, so that the Hover terminates
the stem. The effect is that the sap is I'M
mediately impelled into the two buds next
before the cluster, which push strongly,
and presently produce another cluster of
flowers each. The moment these are yisi.
bic, the branch to which they belong is also
topped down to their level; and this is
to form stout dwarf bushes, not above IS
inches high. In order to prevent their
falling over, sticks or strings are stretched
horizontally along the rows, SO as to keep
the plants tolerably upright. In addition
to this, all laterals whatsoever are nippcd
of. In this way the ripe sap is directed
into the fruit, which acquires beauty,
size, and excellence unattanable by other
means; and We arc assured that fourteen
pounds Of ripe tomatoes per plant is no
very unusual produce--e'en 10 pounds be-
Ing known.
The London Gardeners Chronicle says ):
Whether or not this exact method is
suited tc our climate, England] may be
doubted; but the soundness Of it's princi-
pie is beyond dispute. Five successive
toppings are more than our short summers
will justify, except in very hot dry places
Three We should consider quite enough /;
for although the fourth and fifth toppings
would doubtless increase the quantity OF
the fruit, yet there is little probability of
such late fruit ripening well and it must

Big.kfead In Horses.

BIg.kfead In Horses.
The first cast of big head l ever had, was
with good race horse and stallion, bred
and sold to me by the late Col. johnson, of
Virginia. This horse, called Cadet, was
taken with gradual stiffness, increasing
until he could not step over door sill one
foot high. / cured him as sound and well
as he ever was. Before giving the remedy,
it will be we'll for the novice to describe the
first appearance Of the disease, and how it
may be detected early. BY feeling, with
the thumbs, the large muscles leading from
The side Of the face between the eye and
forehead and extending to the nostrils. -
When a horse has the big head these mus
cles become perfectly rigid, and will not
move by the pressure Of tie thumbs. As
the disease progresses, the horse increases
i'll stiffness, until every joint seems grow
ing together, and his food falls from his
mouth as he attempts to masticatc it. @s
Now for the cure, "let him be ever so
bad" Procure OF. of Oil of Cedar, and
| o. Of Venice Turpcntinc, and anoint the
above described muscles with the Oil of
Cedar and Venice Turpentine every third
or 4th day, for 6 times, and battle it in with
n red-hot iron, held about four inches from
the said muscles. Use each article alter
nately. AT the expiration of eight days,
take piece of Poke Root, the Size Of a
goose egg, and boil it in one gallon of water
down to two quarts, and drench the horse
with little less than a pint of Poke tea,
with pint Of water, every third Or fourth
day. If the weather is cold, cover the
horsc, and give warm mashes; or, if the
weather is warm and dry, turn him on
pasture; should he be so stiff that he can
not get his head to the ground, cut bis
grass and raise his water to his head, and
in thirty days he will be WELL
According to my observation race horses
are more subject to big head than any equal
number Of other horses. What causes the
disease no man can tell it is as incxplica-
ble as the milk sickness in cattle. NV

years; yet have known horses turned out

scraped his trees clean Of old bark and
bugs, then tied cotton batting around the
trunk, which has proved, for two years

cotton, deposit their larvae there, and both
die without hope of escape. Incredible

Further from yorktown.

BALTIMORE, May 6.-Among the prisoners
taken at Yorktown Is the Chief of Engineers Of
General Johnston's Staff, who states that the
whole rebel army at Yorktown amounted to
$1,000 men. He gives a very deplorable 40.
count Of the condition Of the army, and says
they will be unable to make stand anywhere
this eide OF Richmond. Their retreat CON-
menced before daylight Saturday morning, and
he doubts not that the advance was twenty
miles distant at the time the last gun was fred
from Yorktown. H .g
On Saturday morning General Mcclellan
signslled FIVE gunboats lying before Yorktown,
to proceed up the river to West Point, and re-
move all the distractions in their way. Quite
. heet Of steamers and vessels loaded with
troops, were discovered, and pursuit commenc-
cd, resulting in the capture of some, whilst 9th.
ers were run ashore and fired by those on board,
who escaped to the woods. Il is said that by
three o'clock In the afternoon the gunboats had
reached West Point, the head OF navigation
nearly thirty miles above Yorktown, frequently
shelling parties of the enemy who were fiyinc
along the shore, and fanking that portion of thu
retrestlng army who were moving towards w es
Point, to take the railroad to Richmond. ,.,s
