PROPAGATION OF RooT PLANTs.-Root
plants are freely grown from small pieces
of roots cut from the parent plant. We
think few amcteurs are aware how easily
they may increase their stock of raspbcr-
ries, blackberries, or of Seeding pears,
apples, ounces, &C., by simple pieces Of
tho roots. Early in spring, dig the earth
away carefully from around the tree or
plant that you wish to propagate then,
with sh2rp knife, cut from the roots
pieces Of from an inch to three inches
long; take them TO piece of welt pfepar-
ed ground, raked smooth or top; lay them
on il at distances of from three to six
inches apart; cover with ah inch deep Of
clean sand, aud then about two inches of
peat muck, or light rotten leaf mold
Nearly every piece of root will grow, and
in the fall present you good strong plants.

Tho Religion. Anniversaries.

The result Of the efforts of the different reli-
gious associations which held their annual
meetings last week in this city cannot but be
gratifying to every one interested in the growth
of the missionary spirit among the American
people and the progress of Christianity through
out the world. In another part of this days
HERALD we publish a table showing the re-
ceipts and expenditures Of the years 1865
and 1861. In every instance the sums are
large. With one or two exceptions the receipts
for 1861 exceed those of 1866, showing
that the religious societies, like everything
else in the community, are reviving from the
effects of the late civil war. The expenditure
has been pretty fairly proportional to the re-
ceipts In one or two instances we observe the
treasury is worse than empty. Good reasons
could doubtless be given for this 1t is some
times necessary to labor in faith. Where agen-
ces exist and must be paid, slight excess Of
expenditure is not to be set down to the blame
of the managers. Altogether, however, the re-
ports are encouraging, and warrant the senti-
ments we have again and again expressed,
that the voluntary system Is the only system
compatible with the genius Of Christianity.

The struggle for Empire in Mexico.

The rout Of Marquee by the liberal General
Diaz, graphically described in our correspond
ence Of yesterday, was complete. The imperial
commander, with but fifty horsemen, gallopcd
into Mexico, having shamefully deserted his
command. Out Of one thousand Austrians and
Belgians but four hundred escaped. Prince
Kevenhuler, whom Macmillan has himself
characterized, in his intercepted correspond
ence, as one Of the very few of his officers
capital was in a panic; even Maximilian's
father confessor, Fischer, came back in de-
spair, after an interview with Diaz whose reply
to the ladies whe begged the lives Of the prin-
cipal imperial leaders had been, "No quarter!"
Diaz, now closely besieging Mexico with about
twelve thousand men, has evidently received
the same instructions from the liberal War De
parsmcnt that have been given to all the lib
eral generals that is, to make no terms, but 10
fight until one party or the other be ground 10
powder, II being the intention to finish with
the empire, the Church party and the desperate
and unprincipled retrograde leaders all at the
same time. The Mexican panacea for all ills
is, like that Of Doctor Sangrado, bleeding
and warm water"
The 10th Of April was the day fixed for the
bombardment or surrender Of the city. 1t is
probable that the desperate imperiaists will
still hold out and bleed Mexico to the last
man and the last dollar. Marquee, so highly
esteemed by Macmillan, has long lived by
plumber, and will not neglect this his last
chance. His defence, however, cannot last
long, for the Austrian officers, disguised at his
late cowardice, have twice rendered their resig-
nations, and the troops sent TO reconnoitrc fire.
quently desert to the enemy.
The empire stands many sturdy blow in
this last struggle. French occupation for four
years has infused q little desperate energy into
the retrograde party but it is the energy Of q
forlon hope, and can last but q few weeks
longer. II must not be supposed, however,
that the imperialists are exhibiting good gen.
eralship. The blundcr committed by Maxi
milan in shutting himself up in Queretaro is
more than compensated by the daily blunders
Of Escobedo, who, with thirty thousand brave
troops, is besicging him and contributing to
the prolongation of the siege. 1t would be
great loss to Macmillan TO have General Esco-
bedo removed. General Dias, after taking tine
city Of Mexico, may end II necessary 70 marca
his army northward aud take Qneretaro.

Uruguay was even too poor to give decent
outfit to her contingents. The State was
already loaded with mountains of debt which
had been piled one on the other during her
civil wars. From her, therefore, the allies
could expect only what they Notwithstanding.
Nearly the whole allied force then, was to
draw on the Brazilian purse from her were to
come the immense expenditures necessary to
carry on war at such distance and under such
adverse circumstances but even before the
war she was heavily loaded with a debt of
about $-25, 100000, and to this she has added,
up to the beginning of the present campaign,
some 5000, 100000 more. To all this she will
add at least $50,OOO,0OO before she gets out of
this Paraguay trap; and when peace comes
she will find that 1915 100000 is a very rude
strain upon her resources-so rude, indeed,
that il is doubtful if her revenues can pay the
interest upon the amount.
Paraguay then was, as she still is, the supe-
rior in point of finances. To maintain one
soldier in the field it costs her twenty per cent
of what it costs the allies, especially the Bra
zilians. 1t appears, then, that internally, fnan-
cially, geographically, and in point Of topo-
graphical barriers, Paraguay was and is
compact unit of force difficult to assail.
! The first combats Of Tuyuti and Curuzu, on
Paraguayan soil, taught the allied army that
it had rough work before it Curupaity, a
very inferior fertilization and mere outwork,
has long held them in check; this taken, they
will find their labors just commenced ; and at
Humaita wild work awaits them. The vast
swamp into which the allied troops have been
foolshly thrown is margincd by series OF
formidable earthworks, and they are alta cking
Paraguay where she is the best defended by
art and nature. The only vulnerable quarter
which might have given hope of success was
the northwest, which was and is undetended
and open to attack from the Gran Chaco of the
parties most interested in the removal of the
Paraguayan stumbling block is Bolivia. Had
she been properly approached by the allies al

sand men would have settled the question long
since. 1t is now too late; Bolivia is enriching
herself in very profitable trade of war sup
plies, which she is constantly pouring into
Paraguay, and which assist in reducing all her
neighbors to her level.
1t looks as if the allies were waging con-
test that long since became hopeless. The
quicker they close the war by treaty the better;
for the unnatural alliance between the Argen-
tine republic and Brazil, were their efforts
successful would result in an immediate war
between them for the spoils which both con-
slider necessary to their territorial aggrandize-
ment and future progress.

The treasures of Europe are daily enriching
the great republic Ship loads ofemigrants from
the Old World are seeking in the New World
all the great advantages which our institutions
and our great natural resources confer upon
willing hands. From Germany three steamers,
carrying from six to nine hundred persons,
leave tatherland daily for the United
States, while the tide is so strong that even
this vast outlet is not sufficient and through
Havre, London and Liverpool the German
people load the packet ships bound for New
York. Ireland, tired Of the despotic heel Of
England, threatens to emigratc en- mdsse from
Cork three steamers, averaging eight hundred
passengers each, leave every two days. and
even then leave from Ave to six thousand
people awaiting transportation. From London
derry we have one steamer and one sailing
ship load Of immigrants weekly. Europe Is
making an exodus to America, and the echo
goes back, Welcome! there is room and TO
spare!
One great reason for the immense German
tide flowing westward Is the dread Of coming
warfare. They are not q fighting people by
nature, and prefer to carry forty rounds Of
lager beer rather than forty rounds Of car
tridges. This rapid depopulation Of the Ger
man States is weakening Prussia very sensibly,
and when her great rival, France, scarcely
loses a man Prussia loses regiment. So vital
a point Is this with Prussia that few weeks
since she stopped one Of the regular steamers
and took of oil their emigrants subject to the
rigid military laws Of the empire. This, how
ever, did not stay the tide.
Despite our late war, the national debt, the
barriers placed in the way Of those who wish
to leave European countries, and the deriding
Of repubEcanism by monarchists, the cry Is
still they comen II Is our quiet way Of revo.

The Yachting Excitement.

The yachtmen are making active prepare
lions for the June regatta. Already we hear
of number of private matches independent
OF the regular programme. Early as It Is,
some of the yachts are out and training with
their crews. Nothing can better indicate the
eagerness felt by the competitors.
The great ocean sweepstake on the ilth oil
July will be run for by an unusually large
number of yachts. With the exception Of the
Atlantic race of last winter it will be the most
important and exciting contest of its kind that
has started from our waters. The yacht
builders are busy reiitting and furnishing up.
No money is being spared to give to the YES
sells entered the full advantages that are to be
derived from an increase Of strength and a
fresh rig.
We have not heard as yet of any English
yachts being entered. There has scarcely
been time since the announcement was issued
for applications to be received from them !;
but we have no doubt that next month
we shall be able to add several OF
them to the list of competitors. Nothing
would please us better than to attract num-
DEF OF tnem mere. once the hesitation ABOUT
crossing the Atlantic is surmounted. we may
look for a repetition of their visits. This
is all that is wanting to render our regattas
the most important that have as yet taken place
| in the annals Of the sport.
The growing taste of our public for this
amusement is evidenced by the increase which
is to be observed in the number of spectators
annually attracted by it. In the ocean race
of last winter there was not sufficient accom-
mediation provided for the crowds that desired
| to witness the start. This summer arrange
ments will be made to accommodate any num-
Der of persons that may wish to be present.
In view of the excitement created by the pro-
| gramme published by the Club it is but right
that early provision should be made for those
lovers of the sport who have not the good
fortune to possess boats of their own.
