IN SufrONlnGANES.
On Wednesday evening Of, this
week it was our good fortune, with
several of our citizens, to listen to
an address delivered at this place by
W. W. Beebee. Esq, Of Dubuque,
Secretary of the State Horticultural
Society, upon the subject at the
head of this paragraph.
THE lecture was replete with sug-
gestions and facts drawn from many
years experience in fruit growing in
Iowa, that were we able to set forth
as uttered, would be Of absorbing
interest and real utility to all. There
was one point made that our farmers
would do we'll to consider, that is,
that if they really believe what they
profess, when asked to aid in deyel-
oping the fruit growing interests of
the state, that fruit can't be grown
in Iowa." they say so when endeav-
oring to sell their farms, as we'll as
when asked to lend their influence
to aid in the propagation and growth
of fruit and fruit trees in Iowa. 1t
would seem that common honesty
demands this at their hands; for but
few eastern men would seek homes
in the west if they are in doing SO,
to forever deny themselves and their
families tho luxury Of fruit.
In regard to many notions hereto
ford received and acted upon in trans
planting and in pruning trees, his
ideas were SO at variance with others
that in passing we deem a note of
them important. He urges that
trees when trasplantsd. instead of
being closely pruned should be suf-
fcred to remain with quite heavy
tops. The reason he assigns for
this is that the only manner that
strong roots can be developed is to
make them necessary TO support
heavy tops ; and this applies to
grapes and trees.
But tho great thing that be urges
is that tho ground be thoroughly
prepared by cultivation, and that
the blowing should be deep, and tho
soil we'll filed with manure we'll
worked in. Benign hopes that his
views may be furnished us fully for
the information of our readers we
defer further pursuing a su|je that
We admit our inability to do justice
to.

A Splendid Relic of Revolutionary Times

There may now be seen at the jewelry
establishment of Messrs. Browne L.
Spaulding, New York, magnificent relic
of the Revolution, of great value and
beautiful workmanship. This is gold
snuff.box, presented BY Louis XVI, King
of France, to Colonel John Laurens, Of
South Carolina, and Abide. Camp to Gen.
eral George Washington, on the occasion
of Col. Laurens' visit to the Court of
France, as special envoy from the United
States government to procure loan from
the French government. The box is of
fine gold, the exterior beautifully enamel.
led and studded with diamonds. The top
has finely executed likeness of Louis
XVI, set in cluster of thirty.four dia-
monds, while circle containing twenty
four diamonds Surround the whole. This
beautiful relic has been in the possession
of the descendants Of Col. Laurens since
his death, and is now the property of one
of them, widow lady who has lost almost
her all by the late war, and now sends
this here to be sold, in order to maintain

$4,000. The history attached to the
relic is as follows: When Col. Laurens
reached Franco his reception was favor
able, and encouragement given that his
request would be granted yet the delays
perpetually interposed by the Ministers,
the Count de Vergines, afforded little
prospect of immediate success Colonel
Laurens, however, convinced that procras-
tination would give q death blow to
American independence, resolved to make
personal request of the King, in defiance
of court etiquette. DR.. Franklin, our
Minister at Versailles, vehemently OPP
posed his intention, but finding Laurens
firm in his purpose. said: 81 most oordi-
ally wish you success, Colonel, but anti
cipate so different result, that 1 wash
my hands of the consequences" Ac.

The New Crisis-The Pres ident and Con.
gress on a Broad Issue.

The "irrepressible conflict between
the President and Congress has suddenly
broken out in fresh place and in new
form, which promises to be something
more than a nine days. wonder. The
"grave public considerations" which have
constrained Mr.. johnson to request the
resignation of the Secretary of War, Mr..
Stanton, and the "grave public considera-
tions" which have constrained the latter to
hold on to his office until the next meet
ing of Congress, make up broad issue,
which simply puts the President to tho
duty of fighting it out or the alternative of
base retreat in humiliation and disgrace.
The reply of Mr.. Stanton to the Presi-
dents request involves an offence from
subordinate to the Chief Executive officer
of the government without parallel in
the history of the country. But with the
knowledge that the Civil Tenure of
Office bill was passed by Congress ex.
pressly for his protection, Mr.. Stanton
has been encouraged to this unpreceden-
ted act of contemptuous defiance. Yet
still the question recurs, is the superior or
the subordinate officer by this act to be.
come master of the situation? 1t strikes
us that if the law will rot admit of the
removal of the contumacious Secretary in
the absence of Congress, the President
can and must suspend him. To recog-
nize him in bis office after this unsatisfao-
tory passage at arms with him is to con.
sent on the part of the President to his
own degradation.
But why this request upon Secretary
Stanton to resign? Unquestionably it is
because, as the head of the War Office, he
stands in the way of the Presidents ideas
as to the execution of the reconstruction
laws of Congress. MIR. johnson desires to
apply these laws with margin of liberal
ity to those classes of the Southern people
most directly affected by them. 1t is on
this ground mainly, We presume, that no
desires to get rid of Gen. Sheridan, com.
mander of the Fifth Military district
But, with little reflection upon the
matter, Mr.. johnson has discovered that
the removal Of Sheridan and tho substitu-
ton of even Gen. Rousseau in his place
would practically amount to nothing, so
long as Rousseau remained subject to in
structions coming through Secretary
Stanton, under the laws, rules and regu-

THE VALUE OF TIME.-.When the
Roman Emperor said, 81 have lost day."
he uttered sadder truth than if he had
exclaimed, 81 have lost a kingdom."-
Napoleon said that the reason why he
beat the Austrians was, that they did not
know the value of Eve minutes. At the
celebrated battle of Rivoli, the conflict
seemed on tho point Of being decided
against him. He saw the critical state of
affairs, and instantly took his resolution.
He dispatched flag to the Austrian
headquarters with proposals for an armis-
tice. The unwary Austrians fell into the
snare-for few minutes the thunders of
battle were hushed. Napoleon seized the
precious moments, and while amusing the
enemy with mock negotiations, re-arranged
his line of battle, changed his front, and in
few minutes was ready to renounce the
farce of discussion for the stern arbitra-
ment of arms. The splendid victory of
Rivoli was the result. The great moral
victories and defeats of the world often
turned on five minutes. Men may loiter:
time flies, and all the great interests of
life are speeding on, with the sure and ST.
lent tread Of destiny.

The Lyre-Bird.

The London Field says "Wc have
great pleasure in announcing the arrival Of
line healthy male specimen of the Lyre-
Bird (Munera superba) at the Geological
Gardens Regents Park. This bird has
not hitherto been imported alive into Eu-
rope. 1t is found only in the New South
Wales, where it inhabits the dense scrub
and bushes that are so characteristic of
that country. In consequence of its ex.
treme shyness, it is most difficult to shoot;
and still more SO to obtain alive. 1t sell
dom takes to the wing, but, although as
large as q fair-sized fowl, leaps from
branch to branch with extraordinary ra-
pidity, being capable of springing from
the ground ten. feet at spring. Taking
advantage of this habit, it is sometimes
procured by starting it from the ground
by dogs, and shooting it on its leapiDg
into the branches before it has had time
to make a second bound.
"Tbe superb lyre.bird (for there are
two other species) is about the size of
fowl i; it is of a brown color, and would
not be remarkable were it not for its ex-
traordinary tail. This mainly consists of
two curved feathers, each about two feet
in length when full grown; II sse are so
curved that they present the ea lct shape
OF an ancient Tyre. Between these curved
feathers are others Of famentous char
acter that they may be taken, not inapt-
ly, to represent the strings of the instru-
ment. The tail is carried erect when the
bird is excited but in fleeing through
the underwood of the bushes it is allowed
to fall horizontallv-

Rag A letter from Belgrade says: "a
curious and somewhat ludicrous little in
cident occurred here the other day, which
has been much talked about, and is not
without certain significance. A body
of well-known Servians, all members Of
the extreme patriotic party, marched
through the streets with long boards down
to their knees, escorted by a number of
BARRIERS, razors in hand, and in this array
entered the fortress, where the BARRIERS
proceeded at once to strip these bearded
pards of their hirsute adornments and
send them out clean shaved. The fact
is that at the bombardment of Belgrade
in 1862, these Servians avowed never to
let a razor touch their faces until they
could do so 10 the fortress itself on the
day in which the Turkish troops abandon
cd it, and they completed their VOW in
the manner I have described"

TWELVE THOUSAND ACRES OF ROSES.
Mr.. Blunt, the British vioe.consul at
Adrianople, in his report to the Foreign
Office, gives an account of the rose
fields of Adrianople, extending over 12,-
900 or $4,000 acres, and supplying the
most important source of wealth in the
district. The season for picking the 70.
ses is from the latter part of April to the
early part of June; and at sunrise the
plains look like vast garten full of life
and fragrance, with hundreds of Bulga-
rian boys and girls gathering the flowers
into baskets and sacks, the air impregna.
ted with the delicious scent, and the
scene cnlivened by songs, dancing and
music.
1t is estimated that the rose districts of
Adrianople produced in the season of
1866 about 700, 900 miscals of altar roses
(the miscals being l drachm, the pric-
averaging more than 3s sterling per mis-.
cal.
The oil is extracted from the petals by
the ordinary process of distillation. The
altar is bought up for foreign markets, to
which it passes through Constantinople
and Smyrna, where it is generally dispatch
ed to undergo the process of adulteration
with sandalwood and other oils. 1t is
said that in London the Adrianople altar

The Climate of Colorado.

Mr.. O. J. Hallister, late editor of the
Colorado Mining Journal, thus writes Of
the climate of that State :.
In June, July and August, from one TO
three thunder showers, but very few of
them violent, may be expected every day.
Umbrellas, are unknown, however. A
stock OF them was once taken to Central
city, but no one wanted them, and they
were finally thrown away. Everybody
wears rubber coat on his shoulders, his
arm, or the Group of his saddle. For the
rest of the year it never rains. The early
and late SHOWS are the heaviest. About
the middle of October a soft snow of
twelve to thirty inches may be expected.
This October snow ushers in the Indian
Summer, which, during the first four
Winters spent in the mines, lasted, with
few and short Interruptions, until Spring.
The last four winters have not been un-
like those of the same ATTITUDES in the
East. That of 1864 was very severe.
During the regular winter the SHOWS are
completely worn out, consumed by the
winds. The Southern slopes of hills and
ridges round Central City are never COW
cred with snow three days together. It
melts or is blown away. In the Spring,
from the middle of April to the middle Of
May, two or three SHOWS, from twelve to
twenty or thirty inches deep may DO ex.
pected. These melt off at once, carrying
the old SHOWS with them, starting vegeta-
ton and the brooks, replenishing the
springs, which are numerous and good,
and putting the ground in fine condition
to receive seeds.

bone, reduced to the .fneness Of flour, which adds
100 per ct. to its value tbs as quick and actiUe
as acid disso'Oed bone, hence its value is vastly
greater, because it contains neither acid nor
water, which necessarily add weight, and re-

THE OLD MILL.
by CARRIE P. LANCASTER.

BY CARRIE P. LANCASTER.
Far down in grassy hollow,
Where a stream goes sweeping by,
With its silver cleaning waveets,
Crystal mirrors for the sky.
Pearly foam-chains swiftly gliding
Der each wave like wreaths of snow,
Where the wild flowers lowly dropping,
Stoop to kiss them ere they 60.
All the dewy emerald moses,
Gemmed with fairy-cups so bright,
Sparkling with the dewdrop's lustre,
In the clear and sunny light.
Golden sunshine softly falling
On the low and grassy sod,
Playing with the sombre shadows
Stretching out so long and broad.
Years ago, noisy clatter
Broke the stiffness of the wood,
By this pleasant stream of water,
Meath the trees, an old mill stood.
Clouds of dust went soaring upward,
Through the balmy summer air,
And miller, kind and honest,
Worked from morn till evening there.
Soon the radiant, glorious autumn,
Flashed its splendor DER the scene,
Brilliant gold and vivid scarlet
Took the place of summer green.
Through the air the leaves went floating,
Russet-brown and ruby-red,
And dappled leafy carpet,
Ger the ground was richly spread.
But the mill no longer sounded,
Where the jeweled waters CLEAN;
Showers of yellow leaves were falling
In the swiftly-lowing stream,
Drifting round the old mills ruins,
Where the silver MOSES cling,
And the trees their trailing shadows
Ger the rushing waters fling.
Through the forests pensige stiffness,
Ring the birdsongs soft and low
In the moss, like sparks of FIRE,
Fairy-cups still brightly glow.
When the autumn richly Pushes
All the leaves with crimson wine,
Far down by the old mills ruins,
Still the quiet waters shine.
Where the sunshine family glimmers
Through the leaves upon the ground,
And the violets sweetly blossom,
Is q narrow, grassy mound
On the ground the shadows culver,
AS the trees their branches wave,
There beneath the dropping foliage,
Is the honest miller's grave.
