The uniform and universal excellence of

but its origin is not SO fairly undisputed. In
this respect it ranks with the Delaware
grape. A correspondent of Minnesota
paper says that in the year 1861. French
man, banished from his native country, came
to America and settled on a point Of land be-
low Philadelphia. Not long after he had
built his cabin, he observed young pear
tree growing up near his door. He guarded
it until il came TO the age of bearing fruit,
when he was rejoiced to ind the product of
superior quality. He carried few to mar.

And SO on for ten or fifteen years his seed.
ling pear tree brought him handsome lit
tie income.
The Frenchman kept the Whereabouts Of
the tree secret as long as possible. and
when it was discovered. he forbade cions to
be taken from it. As he always kept an
old SICKLE hanging on a limb of the tree. it
came to be crled the Sickel-tree. and hence
the Seckel. In the year 1921, he died, and
bequeathed his little home and favorite tree
to Stephen GiraId. by whom gratis were
soon distributed.
That's one story. Mr.. Downing tells an
by cattle dealer. near Philadelphia known
as '.Dutch Jacob''--that he aferward sold
the land on which it stood to a Mr.. Seckel,
who introduced the frui. to public notice.
Alterward, the farm and tree became the
property of Mr.. Girard. The original tree
is believed to be still alive.

A SCHOOL OF INsTRUCTIoN.-The Journal
says that it is the purpose Of the Governor

can be completed. to bring all the officers OF
the Legion to Indianapolis and have them
instructed for two or three weeks in all the
duties of the soldier. under the able tuition
Of Col. Darlington, the commander Of the
post. They will be put in camp, instructed
in all the details of camp duty, such as
laying out camping grounds. pitching tents,
ditching. cooking. police duty, &c. and
taught the manual of arms, and the ma
neuvers Of companies and battalions. They
will be. for the few days they are at school

Not an Abolition War.

| But this is not war for the abolition o.
slavery, is it!"
Mo- and the assertion that any consider
able party urges it for that purpose is false
and is made by demagogues to prevent q
vigorous policy by alarming old party pref
ud'ces. The amusing absurdity that any
loyal man is making upon the Presiden,
outrageous demands to violate his oath and
trample on the Constitution is simply a
political gag of the most melodrsmatic kind
The intention of repeating it from day to
day is to help the success of the rebellion by
dividing the North.
The object of this war is the restoration
Of the Union. 1t is not waged to hurt a
single hair upon the head of any man, loyal
or disloyal: nor to seize his property; nor to
use his supplies; nor to occnpy his land; nor
to destroy his buildings 1t is not waged
to do any body or thin the least injury in
the world. nor to interfere with any privil-
ege; nor to touch any right. Its object is
simply and only to maintain the Govern
msnt, without which no man has the small
est guaranty for any right whatever.
But ii IN maintaining it, hundred thous.
and men are shot upon the field. if property
of every kind is seized and appropriated. II

ly better than that the Government should

Yet the Constitution guarantees to every
man security of life and property by the
most solemn pledges. They can be taken
from him only by due course of law-ex-
cept when he is resisting the law. Bat to

In reply to several inquiries, we say that
charcoal is useful. Whether it acts directly
and specifically as man ure, to any precep-
tible degree, may perhaps be questioned
Whether 1t decomposes at all may we'll be
doubted, but it acts as an excellent absorb
cnt of gasses and liquids. and SO contributes
indirectly to the fertility OF the soil. Even
sparingy used, it increases the warmth of
land, darkening its color. When prepared
in the old fashioned way--piling together
twenty or thirty cords Of hard wood, and
covering it with sods, etc.-we get not only
good coal. but also in the sweepings. refuse
coal. and dirt around an old pit, good deal
of potash, soda, lime, and some phosphorus.
Besides the effect of charcoal and ashes,
we have also that of 'torrifcd' or baked
earth. which is often Of considerable impor-
lance. Every experienced florist will tell
US of the fine effect produced by it, when
spread in coarse Jumps on the surface Of his
pot soil. Who has not observed how char.
coal dust gives the grass OF lawns dark,
rich luster? An acquaintance Of ours, who
frequently burns coal for market, collects
the refuse dust and ashes from his hearths,
and, mixing it with common sod, about
half and half, spreads the same over his
five cords to the acre.
The effect, he assures us. is quite marked.
The superior green of his fields SO treated.
is noticeable to every passer-by. Another
farmer uses the leavings Of his coal hearths
for mixing with manure of his stables. and
as deodorizer in drains. privy vaults. etc.
This compost he nses on corn. potatoes.
and cabbages, and where it is used he has
no trouble with worms of any kind, and his
crops are large ard Of the finest quality
Cases are not uncommon where charcoal
dust is thrown into hog pens. and in other
ways incorporated with offensive manure,
uniformly dedorizing the manure, to some
degree at least.
La an old garden, once under the writer's
care, worms and vermin Of various sorts TO-
tested the ground. 1t was almost impossi
bic to raise crops of radishes, beets, onions
and cabbages. Lime and salt were tried,
but with little apparent benefit At length,
We spread . coating of charcoal dust and
salt over the entire surface, and worked the
mixture in thoroughly. From that day 70

Another year we mean to use the same
