Tomatoes.

Tomatoes.
The following is said to be the
French method Of raising Tomatoes
Gas soon as cluster of flowers is
visible, the stem is topped down to tho
cluster SO that the flowers terminate
the stem. The effect is that the SAP
is Immediately impcllcd into the
two buds next below the cluster,
which soon push strongly and pro-
d"cc another cluster of flowers each.
When these arc arc visible the branch
to which they belong is also topped
down to their level and this is done
successfully. BY this means the
plant becomes stout dwarf bushes, not
above eighteen inches high. In order
to prevent their falling over, sticks or
strings arc stretched horizontally
along the rows, so as to keep the
plants erect. In addition to this, all
the latcrals that have no flowers, and
aItcr the fifth topping, all latcrals,
whatsoever, arc nippcd off. In this
way tho ripe sap is directed into the
fruit, which acquires . beauty, size
and excellence, unattaincd by other
mcans.'

The Methodist conference in this
city, says the Chicago Times, on
Thursday, resolved, "That tho present
generation Of mcthodists have the
same right to change the plans Of the
church that Wesley and others had to
create it," There cannot lie muck
doubt on that point. If Wesley and
others had the right to create u
church, no doubt the successors Of
Wesley hayo the right not only to
change its plans, but to remodel and
reconstruct that church as to them
seems proper. 1t is no doubt quite
in accordance with this theory Of the
the right Of anybody to "crcatc a
church, and anybody else to ''chause
its plans," that so many of our Meth
odist fcllow-Sinncrs find it proper to
include the regulation of political ar-
fairs in the latter day plans Of their
church administration.

One Of The most painful circum-

source Of extreme annoyance to the
commanders in Charleston, and the
information they were enabled to fur

cd designs upon tho enemy. AS a
proof of the completeness Of this con
spiracy, il may be remarked that the
daily papers Of the city were frequent
ly read on board the blockade fleet
the same day of their publication.
The author Of "Isolcttc, or the Fc-
male Spy" has taken the principal
character and incidents in this affair,
and under assumed names has present

well written romance, historic and i'm
agnativc. The circumstances of the
story arc detailed as beginning on
James Island, and in connection with
some of the South Carolina regiments
stationed there. After many thrill
adventures, in which the ''fcmalc spy
figures largely, the heroes of the plot
follow their regiment to Virginia, be-
