We recently had quite an iIeresIng IN
tervirw with The Presidents brother, Mr..
VIE. +. Johnson, Of Buzuria county,
Texas, who Was on his way home from
q Wilt TO his brother in Washington. and
his taO sons in Nashville. MIR. Johnson

ed Quietly al his home with his wife, and
q sor, aged ! 5 years. His sons, now al
Nashville, have both been soldiers in the
Federal service, and are, at present FL.
inq public positions which have been
kind furnished them By the President.
MIR. Johnson represents The cotton crop
IN Texas as fine; sugar an average crop,
and corn far, but no, first.rale He says
fhe Slate has not suffered BY tie war, but
that he anticipates great trouble in the lu-
ture. For the last two years labor IN
Texas has been plenty, and very cheap,
from the fact that many OF the planters OF
Mississippi, Kentucky, Missouri, Virgin
Ia, and other States, have sent in their
slaves, offering their services for clothing,
vicluals, &c. Mr.. Johnson thinks the
negro population of Texas will be erea,
curse to the State. Many OF them have
slresdy become homesick, and want 10 re-
torn 10 their former homes. Oth'rs have
become very indoient, and lounge ar und,

How TO TREAT BARREN APPLE Tree
What shall do for an apple tree that refuses
to bear fruit asked an enquiring friend the
other day. The good book is not a profes.
slonal work on horticulture. but whatever it
says on that subject as well asupon all others
IS eminently true; and we read in the para.
bles OF the barren fig tree. The way propo.
sed was to dig about it and dung it /; and that
IS what | should do with the barren apple
tree. The term oot-pruning was not invent
ed IN that early day. neither did they have a
supply of Ames' steel spades, but the modern
gardener or orchardist can take one of these
implements with sharp edge and taking q
circle few feet, more or less, from the body
OF the tree, according to the spread of the
branches, let in the spade up to the hilt and
take out trench of earth, to be inverted. OF
II sterile replaced with fresh and rich soil. IN
TINS operation cutting off a good many of the
roots, which has the effect to check the sap
which goes all to wood, causing the forma.
ton OF fruit buds. Another way which
nave seen prove efficacious, is to peel the
bark carefully from portion of the trunk OF
the tree, taking care not to mar the cambrium
which will form new bark Of these two
Methods, that of root pruning is most to be
commended. Ohio Farmer. -

The Widow Of the Poet Moore


On September 4th, at Superior Cottage,
Mrs. Moore, widow ofthe late Thomas Moore.
Esq, author Of" Lalla Rookh," aged 6s. This
is an announcement that one of the last roses
of summer has at length disappeared. Few
are now left of the Brilliant company who
adorned the early part of the 10th century,
whose names are famous in our literature.
Among these names none is or will be held
in more kindly remembrance than that of the
lady to whom the poet Moore gave his heart.
Moore not emily loved her, he was proud Of
her, and it is delightfulto see in his letters
and in his diaries with what eagerness he
sounded her praises. He write to his mother
in 1918:
."You cannot imagine what a sensation Bes-
ny excited at the ball the other night. She
was prettily dressed, and certainly looked
very beautiful. never saw SO much aamira-
ton excited. 1t strikes everybody almost
that sees her how like the form and expression
OF her face are to Catalan 's,'
And TO through all his letters and journals,
he Is never tired of referring to her-uuotine
what she said, telling what she did, describing
how she looked and recording how she was
admired. He married her in 1871, and her
history is summed up to this one phrase-that
she was the delight of his life.

OUR MINING TERRIToRIEs-We are glad
that, now when we have an opportunity and
spare forces, attention is being turned to ma
king life and industry safe in our OUTLYING
territories, such as Arizona. 1t is perfectly
well knownfhat Arizona is rich in silver mines.
They were worked by the Spanards two cen.
ttures ago with immense returns, and thew
have been explored again of late wears since
the territory came into our possession. But
the region has been, and still is, to some CIV.
tent dominated by savage Indians. Within
the last ten years, the wild Apaches have dri
ven OF, very often, parties of American ex-
piorers and miners, and large numbers of
these adventurous men have lost their lives
But iatterly our government has been sending
troops there, and posts have been established
at the principal commanding positions in the
territory. There are good prospects for the
mines and for the miners and settlers of ali
KINDS. Now that the country is so much in
need OF silver and gold, the industries and in.
terests OF our great western territories where
asuperabundance ofthese metals exists. should
De well protectected by the government.
