FRENCH METHOD OF RAISING IONA.
TOEs.-As soon as o cluster of flowers is
visible, the stem is stopped down to the
cluster, so that the flowers terminate
the stem. The effect is that the sap is
Immediately impelled into the two
buds next below the cluster, which soon
push strongly and produce another
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 be-
come stout dwarf bushes, not above eigh-
teen inches high. In order to prevent
their falling over, sticks or strings are
stretched horizontally along the rows,
so as to keep the plant erect. In addi-
tion to this, all the laterals that have
no flowers, and after the fifth topping
all laterals whatsoever are nipped off.
In this way the ripe sapi is directed into
the frait, which acquires beauty, size
and excellence unattainable by other
means.
Cayenne pepper, mixed with fine road
dust, slfted over young vines, will pre-.
vent their destruction by striped bugs.
The same, mixed with a little sulphate
of soda, and both mixed with moist
meal, will save young chickens from
death by "gapes."

,hority of the Decalogue, gives utter
ance TO the following sentiment:
"Ou the premises of no respectable

honorable private citizen; in no lawfully
convened public assembly; in no ra-

Can such rank treason be tolerated !

mil the utterance of such abominable
beresies. HELPER should be recon-

Good Order in the south.

Radical journals are felicitating them
selves upon the quietness and good
order of the South, consequent, they
assume. upon the vigorous rule estab-
lishrd over the people by the military
>ltraps SiCKLEs, SHERIDAN and Pope.
We doubt not that the Governments Of
Russia and Austria can indulge In a
similar boast. But what does it amount
10 in fact! To this merely, that n peo-
pie can lie reduced to the most abject
condition by brute force. If this be
proper i'll its application To the South,
WHY not so in the North, which fur

and every hour many instances Of out
rage OH persons and property, and in
every city, town, village and hamlet
evidences of corruption and social de-
muTaliZatlOu.

stanton Dissents.

STANTON alone, of all the members of
the Cabinet, dissented from the opinion
of the Attorney General on TIE recon-
,truction act. He alone desired the
procunsuls of the South to be sustained
in their assumption of absolute power.
This was 10 be expected. From the
fr,t day of his entering the office of
Secretary of War under LINCOLN, E. NJ.
STANTON has employed whatever power
be could control OH the side of tyranny
aud oppression. No man in any manner
connected with the Federal administra-
ton during the past six years, with per-
haps single exception, has so COM
pletclv covered himself with infamy.
No man has ever held an exalted posi-
tion ut Washington who will send down
TO history a name more execrated and
dishoAored. Insidious, crafty cruel and
corrupt, his character is without re-
deeming virtue, and his career unreliev-
hy single noble OF unseliish action.
m the midst of our manifold national
affections We have the satisfaction OF
knowing that, of the officers connected
with the Executive Department OF the
Government, this man STANTON alone
belongs to that wretched regime by
which the country has been so long
cursed. That he should be permitted
to remain so long in the Cabinet is un-
accountable. 1t is easy enough to un-
derstand why he will not resign-he
whose multitudinous crimes against the
people will pursue him like NEMESIS.
But why has he not long since been
cast out of the position which he has
so ignominiOusly disgracec.

VALUE OF STRAw.-Farmers should

rye STRAW, as fields may be helped for
years to Ge kept in heat by merely re-
turning the straw to them; it contains
all the fertilizing substances requisite
for succeeding crop of grain. By
Sprengels analysis, 1000 pounds of
wheat leaves III pounds, and the
same quantity of wheat straw leaves
35.l9 pounds of ash; of the straw ash,
2s.7O pounds are silica, without which
substance it is impossible to grow either

4 New Phase Of Rndicalism as Ex
pIaiued by "a Radical.

Honorable JAMES HUGHES, of Indi-
aua is regarded as tolerably good Radi-
cal authority in his section. From his
position as the leader of his party in
the Legislature of the State, his utter
ances derive additional Importance.
He has lately had the candOr to express
himself fully and the aristOcratic SEN
timents he avows are in striking con-
trast with the professions of liberal
views to which his party is addicted.
We invite tho attention of wOrkingmen
and foreign born citizens to the follow
ing extract from q speech of Mr..
HrGHEs. After declaring that he would
only agree to negro suffrage if his par
ty demanded it, he said:
IL am opposed to negro suffrage, not
because they are negroes, or are black,
for those are matters of taste and preja-
dice, but because the right of suffrage
has already been too much extended
and cheapened in this country. While
am opposed to extending the right of
suffrage to the negroes, AN IN FAVOR
OF DlSFRANCHISING ONE HALF OF
THE WHITE PEOPLE IN THIS
COUNTRY. Our fathers committed u
great and fatal mistake in extending as
they did the right of suffrage. All his
tory proves that there is but one inter-
rst that Is conservative aud that can
be safely entrusted with the governing
power, and that is the PROPERTY
INTEREST. When man is possessed
"i property he has stake i'll the govern
ment, and will not endanger his proper
~ by uuwise legislation or by involving
the country in war. The great OBJ
lect of our form of Government has
been the want of strength and power
III the Fedederal Government. 1t Will
he impossible to govern this vast and
rapidly increasing country under the
operation of universal suffrage. Our
system of government has been mater
tally and radically changed duri ng the
war, and it can nerer be restored TO rhdt
it ras prior to the war. THE CONSTI-
TUITION is NOT WORTH THE PAPER
UPON WHICH 1T is WRITTEN. The
first effect of universal suffrage will
he to make the government more
nearly approach pure democracy, but
this cannot last long. We will follow
the example of other governments, the
strife of factions will go on until ulti-
mately the Senate or the President will
assume the control, when we shall have
strong and stable government. The
British Government Is the best gorermment
that erer eristed on Gods earth, and
the sooner ours assimilates itself to the
British Government, the better 1t ,cill
be for the country. 1 do not hesitate to
declare, no matter how unpopular il
may be, that If the negro race, and on.
half Of the white race had good masters ana
mistresses, they would be much better
OF, and the government would be much
safer and stronger" +

During the siege of Queretaro the wo.
men of the city carried food and drink
to the soldiers in the trenches, and
spent much Of their time with them, at
the peril OF their lives. Many thus fell
victims to their coniugal devotion. One
was shot through the breast by bullet,
which iikewise killed the infant strap
ped to her breast. A second had her
head taken OF by round shot. A third
was killed by abul let in the plaza.

FIGHT WITH A PANTHER-The Butte
Press tells the following story; A pan
ther measuring seven feet from the nose
to the tip of the tail was killed in rather
singular manner on Mike Welch's
ranch, sixteen miles from here and near
the Susanville road. Harris, better
known as "Texas," +" residingon the prem
ises, has for some time been annoyed by
an animal of some kind killing his hogs
On Friday night he heard pig squeal,
and when near the pen discovered an an
imal which Immediately sought refuge in
tree. "Texas" not being armed com.
menced the battle with stones, driving
the panther into six different trees, and
when on the last he took club and fol-
lowed up the tree and pounded the ami
NAL until life was extinct. "Tcxas" must
be from the State of that name, as it
would be hard to find a man from any
other country that would undertake so
difficult task without arms.

has the misfortune to harbor one of them.
Whence it is plain that the first thing to
do is to find out where the head lies.
Just so of all the vices, and particular
ly OF this vice of intemperance. What
Is the head oft, and where does it lie
For you may depend upon it, there is not
one of these vices that has not head Of
Its owr, an intelligence, meaning, a
certain virtue, | was going to say, but that
might, perhaps, sound paradoxical. l
have heard an immense number of NOR
al physicians lay down the treatment of
moral Guinea-worms, and the vast major.
lty of them would always insist that the
creature had no head at all, but was all
body and tail So have found a very
common result Of their method to be that
the string slipped, or that a piece only of
the creature was broken off, and the worm
soon grew again, as bad as ever. The
truth Is, il the Devil could only appear
in church by attorney, and make the
best statement that the facts would bear
him outin doing on his behalf ofhis special
virtues, (what we commonly call vices
the influence of good teachers would be
much greater than it is. For the argu-
ments by which the Devil prevails are
precisely the ones that the Devil.queller
most rarely answers. Tie way to argue
down vice is net to tell lies about it, to
say thatit has no attractions, when every.
body knows that it has, but rather to let
it make outfits case justas it certainly will

meet it with the weapons furnished by

but tonched him with it, and the blasted
angel took the sad glories of his true
shape. If he had shown fight then, the
fair spirits would have known how to
deal with him.
That all spasmodic cerebral action is
an evil is not perfectly clear. Men get
fairly intoxicated with music, with poetry,
with religious excitement, oftenest with
love. Ninon de PEnclos said she was so
easily excited that her soup intoxicated
her, and convalescents have been made

There are forms and stages of alcholic
exaltation which, in themselves, and with.
out regard to their consequences, might
