How the French Isaise Tomatoes,

How the French Raise Tomatoes,
An exchange says that the best gar
|deners in France are In the habit of cut
ting off the stem Of the tomato plant
down to the first cluster of flowers that
appear thefeupon, This impels the SAP
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 successfully.
By this means the plants become stout
dwarf bushes, not over eighteen inches
high. In order to prevent them from
falling over, sticks or strings are stretch
ed 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 topping, all laterals
whatsoever are nipped of. In this way
the ripe sap is directed into the fruit,
which acquires beauty, size and excel
lence unattainable by other. means.

Notwithstanding the solemn surround.

THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY


nA The Senate clings to the exploded
idea Of the illegality of the removal Of
Stanton with a tenacity that would do
honorto worthier cause. The follow
ing action was had on the 29th ult.
WHEREAS, The order Of the President
removing Secretary Stanton from Office
was unconstitutional and illegal, but on
accoun. Of Mr.. Stanton on Tuesday
having re.inquished said Office; there
fore,
Resolced, That the Senate do advise
and consent to the appointment of Gen.
Schofeld.
There was not q full Senate and the
parties separated on the preamble as they
did ion the Impeachment articles, while
the vote on the resolutionitself was with,
out such distinction. Both the pream-
Die and resolution were adopted, and
therefore Gen. Schofeld is confirmed as
Secretary Of War.
