ADeafh bed Marriage.

An Interesting case is now pending in
the Circuit Court, involving some nice
points of law in relation to the solemni-
zation of the marriage ceremony. Some
years since, q prominent citizen, Mr.. An
drew Fuqua, died, possessed of consider
able property. By his viii his wife by a
second marriage, came into possession of
all his property, which she was to hold
during her life, in case she remained a
widow. At her death, if unmarried, the
property would revert to her husbands
relatives. If she married, however, one
halt the property was to be hers to be
disposed of as she might think proper.
Mrs. F., two days before her death was
induced by her brother to marry that
she might thus acquire the title in fee
simple te half the property, which she
could then deed to her own relatives, in
stead of allowing her husbands heirs to
inherit it. Her husband had been a Cap.
tain in one of the Indian regiments, and
induced n of his men to play the role
of husband IN the death bed marriage,
in consideration of $500 paid down
The arrangement was made, the purchase
money paid oyer, and the dying woman,
unable to sit up in her bed, was married,
the ceremony being performed by a min.
ister of this city, who. it would seem,
could not have been all together ignorant
of the nature of the transaction. At any
rate, the husband, afrer the ceremony,
left the house; went on a spree with his
$500, and neyer saw his wife again, who
died two days after. He never slept 9
night beneath her roof. The action wa,
brought by Mr.. Fuqua's relatives, to con
test the validity of the marriage. The
best legal talent is employed on botf
sides, and the case will undoubtedly
prove one of great interest to the public
as well as the legal fraternity.-Iadianap

How to obtain Superior Apple
frees

There are small apple trees and large
ones, as well as small ears of Indian corn
and large ones, and very large and quite
small stalks. The Westheld seek-no-
farther, for example, Is a tree of small
annual growth when compared with the
Tompkins County king apple tree or the
red astrachan. The latter have stronger
and more vigorous roots than the former;
and the bodies of the trees also grow lar
ger. For this reason roots or stocks OF
either of these kinds which grow more
rapidly and luxuriantly, are eminently
superior to graft into, or bud on when
standard trees are the object.
We frequently see standard trees of
large growth standing on stocks of dimin-
utive size. Such trees can never attain
so large 9 size, nor produce fuit so album
dainty, as if the scions or buds from
which they sprang had been set in stocks
that are naturally of large growth. In
order to be sure of standard fruit trees of
large size, with wide-spreading branches,
and tops of beautiful symmetry, stocks
must be obtained from the seed of the
fruit of such trees, or from their roots
If a person procures a young apple tree
for a standard of the Tompkins County
king variety, or the s~pitzenburg, or the
red astrachan, which was grated or in
~oculated on a stock like the crab apple,
that never attsins a large size, such a
tree can never be cultivated, nor trained
to grow, nor bear fruit, equal to trees
growing on stocks which naturally grow
large.
Now, in order to obtain reliable stocks,
separate the seeds from the tenacious
huIls which surround them, and plant
them, in drills, one in a place, about six
inches apart, The ground should be pre-
viously prepared by undertaking if there
be an excess of water, and by deep spad-
ing or ~subsoiIing if the soil be thin and
resting on a compact and heavy substra-
tum. Then let a long line be stretched
where q row is to be made, and mark out
a shallow channel directly beneath the
line, about one inch deep. If the soil be
mellow and free from Jumps, the seeds
may be covered with a rake or hoe. On
the contrary, if there be q large proper
ton of clay in the soil, which renders the
ground heavy, compact, and making it
difficult for the young roots to spread or
the stems to force a passage to the sur
face, let the seeds be covered with fine
mould, OF well-pulverized alluvial soil,
about one inch deep. Such work my be
performed at any season of the year
when the ground is not frozen, nor too
wet to be worked. By this practice, ap-
pie trees of a superior kind may be OBJ
tanned in few years. By good cultiva-
ton apple trees may be raised twenty
feet high, having tops more than twenty
feet in diameter, bearing several bushels
of fruit each, in ten years after the seed
was planted. We have raised apple trees
in that time larger than the foregoing di-
mansions. But the ground was previous
ly SUBSIDIZED and the surface afterward
kept free from weeds and grass.

A uniform rule of mental and moral
qualifications for the franchise must sat
isfy all who regard it as a question of ca
pacity. Perhaps the advocates of black
suffrage should be willing to compromise
on this halfway point. 1t is true it does
not carry out the principle that suffrage
is an inherent right. But we have never
yet been able to carry that out. Our
fundamental principles had to take on
some established practice in conflict with
them. Our progress in reform is to get
rid of the practice which conflicts with
these principles, and we need not refuse
any step toward it because it is not a
stride that carries us to the goal.
By our fundamental theory of govern
ment the franchise is a natural right
By our practice it is a privilege, conferred
on a part and withheld from a part. A
uniform rule of qualifications would ex-
tend the privilege by opening it to all.
To a great extent this would equalize the
privilege, and thus would make it nearer
an equal right. We presume that most
of the advocates of negro suffrage would
be willing to compromise on an equal
standard of qualifications for all. Let US
hear what standard the advocates of a
suffrage limited to the intelligent classes
will propose as a test of qualifications
that they will be willing to stand by

The way to Blanket Horses.

But few persons, comparatively, under
stand how to apply q blanket to a horse
to protect him from contracting cold
We frequently see the blanket folded
double, and laid across the rump and g
part of the animals back, leaving those
parts of the body which need protection,
entirly exposed to the cold storms or chill
ling winds.
Those parts of the body of a horse
which surround the lungs require the
benefit of a blanket In preference to his
TANKS and runp. When ,e are exposed
to a current of cold air, to guard against
any injury from contracting cold, we
shield our shoulders, neck, chest, and
back. If these parts be kept protected,
the lower part of the body will endure a
degree of cold far more intense without
n yinjury to the body than if the lungs
were not kept warm with suitable cover
ing. The same thing holds true in the
protection of horses. The blanket should
and be brought around the brest, and
buttoned or buckled together as closely
as a man buttones his oYercoat when bar
ing his bosom to the driving storm. Let
the lungs of a hose be kept well protect
ed with a heavy lanket, and he will sell
dom eontrct cold, even if the hindmost
part of his body are not covered.
We refer more particularly to blanket
ing horses that have become unusually
warm by violent exeTtion, or hard driving
and exposing them to a current of cold
air while they are standing still.
Many of our best teamsters protect the
breasts of their horses with q piece of
heavy cloth about two feet square, hang
ing down from the lower end of the col
lar. This is an excellent practice in cold
weather, as the most important part of
the animal is constantly shielded from
the cold wind, especially when travelling
toward q strong current. The forward
end of horses blankets should be made
to fit so closely around the breast of a
horse as our garments fit our bodies.
Most horses will contract a violent cold
almost as soon as a man, if not blanket
ed while he stands still after having been
exercised SO violently as to produce pro-
fuse perspiration. So long as a horse is
kept in motion, there is little danger of
his suffering any inconYeniences from
cold winds. But allow him to stand still
for a few minutes, while loading or IN
loading, without q heavy blanket to pro-
tect his shoulders and lungs, and he will
take cold ooner than some men.
When a horse is wet with sweat, the
better way is not to cover the body with
a heavy blanket until the perspiration
has partially evaporated. Then put on
the blanket, and the beauty of the hair
will be retained, the blanket will not be
filled with vapor which viii afterward
prove uncomfortable to the animal, and
he will "cool Off with less danger of con-
tracing cold than when a heavy blanket
is laid on his body before any of the per-
spiration has eVsporated. Yet great care
must be exercised that a horse does not
become too cool before the blanket is ap-
plied.

Suffrage.

1t is obvious TO reflection, that the agi-
tation of the question of suffrage must
result either in universal suffrage, or in
limited suffrage by uniform rule relating
to mental and moral or property qualif.
cation. The opposition to black suffrage
starts on the ground of inferior capacity,
and continually reverts to that when ii
gives q reason. Yet color is not test Of
capacity and these have to admit that
the same rule of mental and moral qual,
ifcstions would enfranchise some blacks
and disfranchise some whites, A cues.
ton of qualifications for political rights
comes at once to a test Of qualifications
And unless they are willing that this
should be uniform, they abandon the
pretense of the general incapacity of one
race and the general capacity of the 9TH
