The Cincinnati Gazette discourses Of Currency
and Prices as though it supposed calling dol.
lar 81 40 was Of some benefit to producers of
wealth, especially to farmers. Yet it stumbles
over the truth that
There Is no class of community tfst suffers much
from the high prices created by the abnormal state of
the currency as the agricultural producers"
Most true Sir! so let Us overcome this
" abnormal state Of the Currency" and 90
back to the good old times when dollar
meant one hundred cents and neither more nor
less. Rely on it, not farmers only, but all who
live by honest, useful, productive industry,
"suiIer" from deranged, inflated, Huctuating
Currency; only spectators and jobbers who
watch the financial tide, giving their whole
mind to its fluctuations and their causes, are
likely to profit by the existence OF Currency
whereof dollar is to-day worth ~ cents in
gold, and tomorrow but o. or 20.
Says The Ga:ett;
1T cannot be pretended that a country which. on
exports OF produce at the rate OF about two hundred
and fifty millions is importing foreign goods at the
rate Of noar four hundred millions cannot afford to pay
price for its farm products which will correspond with
other prices And the conditions that would bring
prices produce to the standard OF the currency would
put stop to oyer.importation'
% perverse logican our country can't
afford to import $4OO, 100000 worth against an
export of $3.50, 600, 900 only; such state OF
trade leads directly and surely to a smash.
Harden the Currency, and we shall not import
at any such rate, while "prices of produce"
will be Just what the produce is worth-neither
less nor more.

! Readers will recollect tic extraordinary con-
duct Of II. b. NJ. S. Bulldog which, Oh the 23d
of October last, attacked Cape Haytien On her
own account bombarded the harbor and town,
ran aground, and was finally abandoned and
blown up by her captain and crew. The per-
formance was deemed at the time an inexcusable
outrage, and there was no little curiosity to see
how the British Government would deal with
the offender. The last foreign mails bring US
news that Capt. Wake has been contaminated
for what For intermeddlng with affairs
that were none of his business For violation
Of international law For cruel and brutal
assault on an unoffending town and population
For declaring war on his own account Moth
ing of the sort. The commander Of the Bull
dog has been tried for losing his ship by want of
seamsnship, Its slight consolation to add that
he has been found guilty on this charge, repri-
manded, and dismissed from command. His de.
tense is curiosity. He alleges that he had quar-.
relied with the Haytien commander, had been
personally insulted by the Haytien Govern
ment, that he could get 10 satisfaction for these
injuries, and "could stand it no longer so he
made up his mind to take satisfaction on his own
responsibility" That is a queer defense to q
charge of clumsy seamsnship, but not bit
more queer than trying an officer, who has been
guilty of something very like piracy, for not
having been sailor enough to be a good pirate.
As the Rebel Hsytien Government is in no con.
dition to demand satisfaction, the handling Of
the case is good illustration Of the way in
which Great Britain delights to deal with a
weak power whom she has insulted or outraged

None but Rothschild's own kindred
ever knew what was the actual amount
OF his wealth; it is variously estimated
at from three to ten millions Of pounds.
The sons and daughters of the brothers
have regularly and almost invariably
intermarried. In 1886 it was resolved
that Lionel, the eldest son of Nathan
Rothsehild, should marry his cousin, q
daughter Of Anselm Rothschild, of
Frankfort. On the wedding day Nathan
fell sick. He died on the 2Sth of July,

PRUNING.-Young vinesjust from the
nursery should be cut down to two eyes
and only the stronger one Of these saved
after they start in the spring. At the
end of the first year cut this shoot back
to three eyes. At the end of the third
year train your two or three strong
shoots over lattice Of stake and cut
out the alternate eyes. After the fruit
has set, pinch the shoots ahead of it and
cut the lateral shoots. Every few years
a new shoot should be started near the
ground and the old vine entirely cut
away. Grape pruning should be done
Immediately, as vines bleed if cut after
frost is out of the ground. Apple and
pear trees may be pruned at any time
from February to May.
A gentleman says he has always no
ticed in his vicinity that stubs cut IN
cold weather did not heal over; cut in
May they are sure to heal. He would
not trim apple trees earlier than May
Another gentleman says that when
branches are cut in the early spring the
sap runs down making the bark black
and eventually bringing on rot. The
trees in his neighborhood, Springfield,
Mass, had many of them been killed in
this way. He would not prune until
the leaves had started.

more fat than round, they always rest
on the sides, with the eyes where the
stems must start in a horizontal direc.
ton, which is q disadvantageous position
for the stems to bear the bean 10 the
surface Of the ground. The form Of
many Lima beans is such that, when
dropped on the ground, the eyes viii be
in position to send the stem at an angle

The Chinch Bt,g--h0ac TO E.ctefNtia-
ttte the pest Of tie Wheat.

ettt tHC YSSt vi sNC ~ HCNts
DR.. II. Sherman, formerly of Goodale,
now of this city, has made discovery
regardingthe breeding of the chinch bug,
which we believe, will make it an easy
matter to totally eradicate this curse of
wheat growers. hewrites as follows:
The chinch bug having destroyed my
wheat crop for number of years, ! was
anxious to get rid of him, and l believe
have tracked him home and can de-
stroy him, root and branch. ] believe
low my advice, they may raise a good
crop of wheat, and not lose bushel
from the ravages of the bug. This is
the important secret. ADMINISTRATIONS
led me to believe that the seed-Wheat or
kernel was used as sort of ''foster moth
er' by the bug, and | find by inspection
through the microscope thatin all wheat
grown upon land where there are bugs,
is deposited in the blow, or fuzzy end
of the kernel, q large quantity Of eggs,
which produce the bugs next season.
Dir. Sherman says he will convince any
farmer of the truth of this if they will
bring him a sample of wheat grown
where there We're plenty of bugs.
1t follows that if the kernel of seed
wheat is the general depository of the
eggs Of the chinch bug that our farmers
have been sowing the pest each year as
they have their wheat, and it follows
that if such is the case the eradication of
the bug will be easily accomplished, Ell
Their by sowing no wheat that has been
in contact with the bug, or by STEPPING
the seed in some solution before sowing
which will destroy the larva.- Uonhe-
