HARD TO BKAT.-The Phanir says "The Pal
metto Fire Engine has been thoroughly over
hsuled, and night or two ago the members took
her out for trial. With the brakes rot quite
full of men, water was thrown 1903 feet, on dead
level. Pretty good, that. Their handsome engine
house is tenable, although not entirely finished,
and the company is nov in condition to battle sue
cessfully with the flames.

TIE HUNGARIAN GRASS SEED-We are requested
by the agent, Mr.. VIM. THAYER, to state that the
supply Of Hungarian grass seed received by him
from the Agricultural Department was exhausted
ON the first day OF distribution. This seed is
strongly recommended by all who have used it as
q superior article, and considerable anxiety was
expressed by parties residing at distance to OBJ
tain a supply. Numerous letters have been ad-
dressed to Mr.. THAyER on this subject, and we
take the present opportunity to inform the appl-
cants Of their mischance, trusting that another
consignment will be received at an early day.

REPORT OF THE CrrY ENaNEER.-We direct at
tention to the able report of Mr.. L. J. BARBoT,
the City Engineer, which appears in the published
proceedings Of City Council, and to which We
shall revert more fully on e future occasion. His
suggestions concerning the drains and the meas
ures proposed to confne the eflluva are worthy of
consideration; also, his plan of utilizing the mud
taken from the docks. The lateness of the hour
prevents an extended notice Of these points, but
we refer our readers to the report, where the sub
1ect is discussed in extenso.

NATURAIIzED CrT1zENs.-We understand that
objections were raised yesterday at one of the pre-
cnts to the right Of naturalzed citizen to regis
ter, because, it was alleged, he had served in the
Confederate army as substitute. The citizen
permitted to register, not without the protest
however, on the part Of the Board, that his case
would be subject to revision. We have failed to
appreciate the objection Of the Board. There is
nothing whatever in any Of the Acts Of Recon-
struction nor in Orders No. 65, as far cs we know,
to warrant the suspicion even Of any one beng
dsfranchised because not native-born citizen, or
because Of having served in the Confederate army
as substitute.

French Metaod Of Raising Tomatoes.-
As soon as a cluster Of flowers is visi
bic, the stem is topped down to the
cluster, 50 that the flowers terminate
the stem. The effect is that the sap
is imrnedia,ely impelled into the two
buds next below the cluster, which
soon push strongly and produce anoth-
or cluster Of flowers each. When these
are visible, the branch to which they
belong is also topped down TO their
level and this is done five times sue
cessively By this means the plants
become stout, dwarf bushes, not above
eighteen inches high, In order to pre-
vent their falling over, sticks or strings
are stretched horizontally along the
rows, so as TO keep the plants erect
In addition to this, all the laterals that
have no flowers, and after the fifth top
ping, all latorals whatsoever are nip
ped off IN this way the ripe sap is
directed into the fruit, which acquire
n beauty, size and excellence unattain
able by other means.

Thought he Had Her.

An Old Dutch farmer had hand
some daughter, named Minnie, who
lately joined the Methodist church,
against which the old farmer was
somewhat prejudiced. The young min
lister, under whose instrumeutality
Miss Minnie was converted, visited her
frequently, and excited his suspicion
that all was not right. Accordingly, he
visited the church on Sunday night,
and seated himself, unobserveG, among
the congregation.
Soon after taking his seat, the min
istcr, who was preaching from Daniel,
9th chapter, 25th verse, repeated in Il
loud voice the words of his text, Meme.
meme, tckel upbarsin,' upon which the
old farmer sprang to his feet, seized
the afrishted girl by the arm and hur-
ricd her out of the meeting house
Having reached the church yard, he
gave vent to his feelings in the words;
Il knows dare vas something wrong,
and now | schwares to EN-
Why, father, what do you mean !?
replied the bewildcred and innocent
girl.

eXci1esnaal In q Circus.


A 6WA,hyr Of years ago, when Mich
;&ar was new ckuntry, in Living
ston county, there lived family by
the name of Clayton, and one called
Perkins also -as well as a great many
others.
Pete Clayton was tall, fine look
ing fellows noble specimen Of our
back -woodsmcn -stanking six feet two
inches in his stockings.
Pete had taken a shine to Miss Sally
Perkins, and it was known in fact that
they were engaged, but the day when
the knot was TO be tied had not yet
been divulged.
In the month Of August, 1S49, June's
circus came through their town tor the
first time, and in fact it was the first
time, and in fact it was the first circus
that had ever passed that way and
there were a great many people that
had never seen one. When the i'm
portant day arrived the town was filled
TO overflow with a motley crowd, OF
course, and every young fellow had
his gal Now, Pete wanted to get
married on the coming Christmas, but
Sally wished to have it put off till the
next spring. When the ticket wagon
was opened the tent was filed in IL
hurry. Pete and Sally had been look
ing through the side shows and they
were late in getting in, and the per-
tOrmance had already commenced.
They walked around the entire ring
trying to find scat, and although they
could seat two thousand people, every
scat was occupied.
Never mind said Sal, Idjust as lief
stand up
But the gallant Pete couldn't think
of it, and said, wait a mint, I'll get
you a CHAIR and off he started, leav,
ing Sal all alone.
Just at this moment the clown came
in, crossed in his usual custom, and
dancing around the ring stopped right
in front Of Sal and began to sing:
'Oh Sally is the gal for me,
This caused Sal to blush, for she
thought that the clown was looking
at her. AS she stood near the ring, OF
course she hid the view of those OH
the lower seats behind her, and as
usual on such occasions, the clown
cracked his jokes at such offenders
until they take the hint and find
seat, but she said she would rather
stand up. At this the clown com,
menced his jokes, remarking to the ring
master:
There's a chance for me now
a chance for you|

The Running Tree.-The Island of
Ferro is one of the largest of the Ca,

name on account Of its iron bound soil,
through which no river or streams
flow. 1t has also but few wells and
these not very good. But the great
Prcserver and Sustainer of all, RENE

test Of an excellent one is bis success
