stirring Soil around Trees.

The opening or tightening the soil around
the roots of trees, either in the spring or
fall, for the purpose of letting in warmth,
and affording a freer medium for the cxpan-
sion and development of the roots, is of
great value in promoting the health and
vigor Of the tree. All trees, whether fruit
or ornamental, young or old, indigenous or
exotic, are vastly benefited by this process.
In old orchards, the soil about the trunks
Of the trees, and to considerable distance
from them, in every direction, should be
carefully broken, and the upper surface to
the depth of three or four inches, removed
in the spring every four or five years. The
eggs of the curculio and other insects, are
deposited in this stratum, and if not re.
moved or destroyed, will produce insects,
the ravages of which the succeeding year
will be productive of far greater loss than
the expense Of removing the soil, and re-
placing it with compost or loom. 1t is an
utterly hopeless undertaking to attempt the
cultivation Of good fruit, when no measures
are resorted to, to obviate the fatal ravages
Of this detestable and insidious foe, and the
remedy now suggested is by no means cx-
pensive, if. we take into consideration the
advantages otherwise resulting to the trees
from its application.
Any good soil, taken from the open fields
or cultivated lands, may be used as substi-
tuto for compost, and very small quantity
will suffice. Even if no fresh matter is ap.
piled, l would recommend the removal Of
the surface soil, and would replace it when
convenient Chip manure, or old dung COW
cred with straw, answers well for this pur.

In reply to taunt given by Rad
ical member, in the House of Represen-
tatiyes lately, that the Democratic par
ty was too cowardly to dare to trust
negroes with the right Of suffrage, the
Hon. Michael G. Kerr, Democratic MEM
Der from the Second District, Indiana,
thus nobly retorted:
The gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Broomall) was pleased to say, in
e.course of his remarks, that any man
who feared the domination of the ne
gro race in this country was coward.
Mr.. Speaker, is it evidence OF cour-
age to court the domination of negroes!
Is it craftsmanship to introduce into
the body of electors, the governing and
law-making classes, the most inferior,
ignorant and corruptible race on the
earth? Such policy has not been toll
Grated or adopted by any government,
people or party known to history, except
the present Radical party in this coun-
try. A government which rests upon
and can only be sustained by the virtue
and intelligence of the people cannot
be safely committed to such guardians.
All, Mr.. Speaker, who are the cow
ards in this to-day? Are the Democratic
party?-a party whose fidelity to prin-
ciple has been characterized by a de-
gree of courage and selfsacrifce that
has known no parallel in the history of
political parties or of civil government.
| will tell You who the towards are.
They are those white men of this ooun-
try who marshal themselves under the
leadership of the Radical party, who
are afraid to meet the Democratic party,
their white fellow-citizens, in fair hand
to-hand fight before the people of this
country, of their own race, blood and
lineage, but seek to skulk and intrench
themselves behind the power and in
iiuence and aid of negro population.
They are those who are towards. Yes,
they are afraid to appeal for support
to and abide the verdict OF their own
race They trcmble as convicted crimi-
mails before such tribunal, and by an
unnatural and unjust exercise of power,
appeal for support to a race utterly in
competent either to govern or support
themselves They fear to avow before
the country the principles on which
they stand. Let it not be said that the
members Of the Democratic party are
towards because they fear negro domi-
nation. We have no fear when we
have only to do battle before the intel
ligence aid virtue of the people of this
country; but when we are compelled to
meet the ignorance and barbarism and
stupidity and vice of the country, ma
nipulated by political party IN power,
then we do fear for the welfare of the
country 1t is then, and then only, that
we confess to any trepidation; it is not
because we fear the negro. The negro
has no power in this country; and when
you establish your system of govern
ment in the South, the whole effect Of
it will be tomake tyrants of yourselves
and slaves of everybody else, the negro
rs well as the white man.

The HERO OF ABYssIyn.- Robert
Napier, who has so successfully closed

Lord Napier, formerly Ambassador at

of Indian celebrity; nor of Sir VIM.
Napier, author of the celebrated" His.

Acre in 1910, but did not take Cron-

pier, formerly Governorof Cape Colony;

The Detreit Free Press editorially propounds
the following question:: "Can we pay our taxes
with military glo1y?" To which the Detroit
Tribune returns the following answer: eff our
contemporary means Democratic military glory,
we have no hesitation in responding in the
negative"
AN Edinburgh paper tells this story:-Dr.
Macleod and DR.. Watson were in the West
Highlands together. While crossing loch
in boat, in company with number of pas
sengers, storm came on. One of the passen
gers was heard to say, "The two ministers
should begin to pray, or we'll a. drooned." "Na,

"A writer in Blackwood's Magazine gives
some interesting facts on the use of horse-fesh
for food He maintains that it is not new
article of diet, but was in common use by the
old Morse tribes of northern Europe before
their conversion to Christianity. Horses were
offered in sacrifice to Odin and Thor, and the
the flesh was subsequently sold for food
When the northern nations were converted,
many feared to indulge in its use, lest it might
have been offered to idols, and they be guilty
of breaking the apostolic command. The ROM
ish Church readily accepted the common pre-
judice, and the use of horse-fesh was forbid
den as Pagan custom. 1t is curious illus
tration of the tendency to exalt canonical
above moral law, that the punishment for eat
ing horse-fesh was more severe than for muir
der or bigamy. The antpathy to horse-fesh
soon grew so streng, that the word "horse-
er" became an abusive epithet equivalent to
foul Paynim," and it is so applied to the
swedes, whose conversion took place later
than that of other northern nations.
