The poeical temperament OF Victor Hugo
AMI OF Lamarbine has untitled both for
prnctcal craftsmanship, hut it has in
sIired these mon of genius TO express
revolutionary sentiments with wonderful
eloquence The recent appeal of Victor
hugo to the CandiStes, for example, with due
allowance for its characteristic egotism and
st,itudinizing, is ssreible and thrilling express
sion Of the indignation which long years Of
torture, first under Egyptian and afterwards
under Turkish tyranny, have excited in the
breasts OF that struggling people, and also of
the sympathy which il felt and should be
manifested in their behalf throughout Christen-
dom.
Notwithstanding Reuters false dispatches, at
the diotation Of the Turkish government, there
are good reasons for believing that even tho
atrocious measures adopted by that govern
ment in order to suppress the insurrection,
have signally failed. The Candiotes have by
no means given up the contest with their
oppressors. Naturally enough the Greeks
have been foremost in sympatbising with their
Cretan brethren, and. 1t Is alleged, to lend
them material aid aud comfort, by sending
reinforcements OF men, provisions and
munitions Of var. From selfish consid-
erations the great Western Powers Of
Europe, which should Of once have interfered
to protect the Crctans, have seemed to hold
back with Indifference, or even to favor the
shallow Turkish pretext Of wishing to main
tain order.' But at length . conference Of
these Powers Is In prospect with special view
70 reconsider the question Of Canadian resist
ance TO Turkish misruls and oppression. This
question begins TO assume larger proportions,
and We should not be surprised II Il were to
lead 10 revival OF the grand and momentous
question d'Orieni, the same old Eastern ques-
ton which involved the great European
Powers In the Crimcan war. The Canadian
insurrec.iou shows that Ere enough was ieft
smouldering In the ashes Of that war 10 kindle
another and still more furious con6agration, un'
less the flames which now appear 70 be spread
Ing are immediately extinguished. Ithas been
surmlsed that Russia, taking advantage OF the
unsettled state Of things resulting from the
recent European war, has recommended her
old game Of iomsntng discomfort among the

The great disparity between their num-

Eastern Christians are heirs to in consequence
Of the unsatisfactory adjustment Of the affairs

in fact, wherever the Sultan extends his preten-

INDIAN MAssAcREs IN THE TERRroRrEs-The

be substantially confirmed. In addition to
this disaster 1t is further stated that hostile

regarded reports OF Indian atrocities on the

What IL the Union Democracy Gosng to DO 2
The old political hacks Of the democratic
organization are busily engaged all over the
their standing in the party and set IL again on
its feet Mayor Hoffman, after his failure in
the State, sets himself to work to draw back
all the qguerillas' into the Tammany camp,
and al the same time indscreesly exposes the
filth and mud of the broken down concern to
public view. II is time for the Miles O'Reilly
democracy-th only live organization in the
city-to be up and doing. Everywhere the
old democracy Is utterly routed and democrat
lied, except in this city. Here they have still
a sweeping majority Of forty or ffty thousand,
such ~ II Is, and here alone can be- started an
effective movement for the reorganization OF
the party Outside Of New York the State gives
a republican majority Of some sixty thousand,
which Is nearly neutralized by the heavy demo
cratic vote Of the city. This IL quite sufficient
| TO show that the party must take Its foundation
tor new departure here, in New York.
I The Miles OReilly Union democracy is, o.
we have said, the only live democratic organi-
cation IN the city. IL mas carried us canoidAtes
in the elections and Is now In possession Of oil
the important departments Of the municipal
government Next fall it will dictate the State
ticket, and in the charter election II will elect
its candidate for Mayor, whether Mike Con.
Aolly or some other, over the head Of the Baron
Won Hoffman. This living, active organization
ought TO como Out at once with programme
for the future. Let tho leaders perfect thei'
general committee and call convention with
out delay, with the object Of an entire reorgau
ization Of the democracy Of the State. They
must cast aside the errors which have destroyed

mission. Of course, her farmers can re.
ceive, in the average, but fifty cents pei
bushel. But transfer the production of hel
fabrics from Europe to America, and much
of it to Iowa or it's vicinity, and now tn,
price Of grain ia Iowa raises by law mex
orable as that of graYitation. 1t is no lon
ger depressed by the necessity of finding &
market for good part of it four thousand
miles away, but rises to far higher level.
And not only is wheat dearer to the farm
eT, though cheaper to thee manufacturer,
than it was. but the farmer now finds a
ready market for fruit, vegetables, hay, etc,
ETC.. which he could eearcely sell at any
price SO long as our peoples productive en-
ergies were devoted to agriculture alsne.
II. What We seek bp Protection is to
shorten the distance which separates farm
srs from manufacturers and thereby di-
minish the too heavy cost of exchanging
their products respectively. Ifa thousand
farmers growing grain in Iowa, and
thousand manufacturers making wares
and fabrics in England. exchange their pro-
ducts across four thousand miles of land
and water, employing the services and con-
Stunning the time three thousand forwarders,
boatmen, railroad hands, seamen, etc., ETC.,
in so doing, tits manifest that the whole
five thousand must be subsisted on the pro-
ducers. Now bring the manufacturers SO
near the farmers that one thousand men can
easily perform al Tie labor required to ex-
change their products, and it is clear that
we have liberated two thousand from vari-
Gus non-productive employments or func
tons, and added them to the number of
producers. We have more grain grown and
mere cloth made, more wealth created and
less capacity absorbed in pursuits which,
however necessary under certain circum
stances, add nothing to the sum of human
comfor to. --,-. Sic.
The Protection we advocate is simply the
saving of human labor. We maintain that,
instead of sending wool, grain and meat
from Iowa to- England, and bringing back
fabrics in return, it is cheaper and better to
bring the fabricant, once for all, from Eng
land to Iowa or near it, and there feed him
from the products of our generous soil. We
hold that the farmer and the manufacturer
are alike benefited by this course; and that
it insures to each fuller reward for his
labor. and larger measure of sustenance
and enjoyment. III
Protection, then, is not narrow, nor self
ish, nor exclusive. 1t does not ignore the
brotherhood of man, nor seek special ad-
vantage at the expense of general good. 1t
seeks to build up our country by drawing
hitler the better portion of the population
of Europe, through the proffer of higher
wages, a better position, and greater COM
fort, than they enjoy or can expect in their
native landl Why not?

til the fruit is as large as peas, and is re-

cold weather approaches before these late
varieties, such as the Smock, have ripened,
branches thus prepared are placed in the

in the moderate weather they are released.
He claims that he has thus prepared twenty
or thirty, and of smaller trees as many as
fifty In day, so it is not so very tedious
or expensive, and he AYERS that he has sold
peaches for as much as four dollars froE

Mr. Bolmer cuts back his peach trees ev-
cry second year, or if they bear too full he
shorteDs every season, for the sake of thin
ming the fruit, taking off one third of them,
SO as to increase the size of those that are
left. This he considers a very paying OPP
GRAFTON, on account of the increased size and
corresponding price of the fruit; nor is it
very expensive operation, if, as he says,
one man can trim from fifty to one hundred

To recur to the mounding work, he does
not give absolute expense of the operation,

The original tree upon which he first op-
Grated, now twenty seven years old, is still

tended with uncertain results and frequent
failures, because mounds once made are
permanent protection from the worms, and

IN Winter. -.


A New Plan for Protecting Peach Trees
IN Winter. D..
The following exceedingly interesting pa
per was read by DIR, John A. Warden be-
fore the Cincinnati Horticultural Society,
as its last meeting:
BoLMER's PEACH oRCHARD-A NEW PLAN
Having observed a very successful peach
grower, who had . good crop during the
past untoWard season, presenting very fine
specimens quite late in the season, curiosity
was aroused to ascertain the cause and
manner of his success amid the general
failure An application to Mr.. Lewis Boil
mer, who resides in the Great Miami Val
ley, has been very kindly responded to by
him in a most voluminous manuscript,
from which the following important data
have been carefully selected and collated,
in the belief that they co yer the importan,
facts, and these are certainly quite startling,
as theIresults of praiseWorthy efforts, rather
bliudly pursued, it is true, but with a de-
termination that was bound to succeed:
Mr.. Bolmer was obliged to struggle with
poverty and with many difficulties incident
thereto, but he had determined thath would
have peaches, if they could be obtained by
dint of persevering experiments. He seems
to have commenced some twenty seven
years ago with fifteen trees that were pre-
sented to him. TA5se he planted on the
land of another person, which he was then
Occupying. The first season they were all
treated alike. The next year he mulch ed
six of them with straw. Around Que Of
these he dug a trench, which he filed with
manure, and then mulched with straw. The
remainder were kept clean with hoe, and
banked mp With earth to the height of six
or eight inches, making mound a foot in
diameter. Fhis proved almost an entire
preventative of the peach worm, though
these insects we're plenty in1ths trees that
were muiched. - ~ u
EiydThe third year these nine trees bore CON
| siderable fruit, while those under straw
though full Of blossoms, dropped all theiI
fruit, except seven peaches on the tree that
had been Surrounded by the ditch. !, This
made him hesitate as to the efficacy of the
fmdIchihg system, at least without the root
pruning. At this point IN his experiments
| the property changed hands and he was OBJ
ligad to- abandon bis trees TO seek home
elsewhere, and begin anew, That winter
the severity of the frost killed the five trees
that had been mulched, and the owner no
1apPteeiatihg ,fi1eir value, and considering
peaches a ngisaHes'' allowed Mr.. Bolmer e
move theTemainder5 froms his land gtob thu
s'new purchase" The root pruned tree II
reported to have escaped the frost as well OF
better than the others, therefore be was en
eoaFagea to experiment further with this
Expensive plan, and bitches were dug across
the lot; some were filed with stone, some
places the ditch was FIVE feet or more II
depth across the orchard, and at intervals o
eight feet holes were dug like wells. fouI
feet deeper; these were carefully covered
with stone to keep them open, like dry wells
to perfect the drainage. The drains Wer
