weather The atmospheric phenome-
ma have wholly disappeared, no trace
of it having been noticed since tne &C
currence Of the earthquake. Inc
change in this respect is a verynOtice-
able zone.
1.-THE climatic peculiarities nave
been most remarkable during q great
er part Of the present year. Both az
home and abroad there have been SUD
den changes of temperature, and sucn
vagaTies as cot onlytO attract attention
but to give rise to unpleasant fOreb0-
dings. In England, during the sum-
mer, il was intensely hot and dry.
Hurricans have been very destructive
in equatorial regions atmospheric dis
turbaaee have been widespread n
extraordinary. The Gulf stream IN
lthe Atlantic is said to have shifted
9over nearer to the European continent.
5The whole volcanic system of South
america, including also the volcanoes
at the Hawaiian, Islands, have been
very active Of late. The result OF the
earthquRkein South America, and1he
Neutrality-suspicious. &C the Islands, have
lust b6en recorded. Mete0ric phenom-
sna for the last two years have also
been most remarkable. The distur-
bling forces above and beneath have
been unusually active over q consid-
erable portion Of the globe. 1t would
appear, from the grouping together Of
he most noticeable of this class of
events which have occurred during
the last few months, that the present
is one of the most remarkable eras OF
physical and climatic changes which
has been known for centuries. Wheth-
er these changes are for the better or
worse is a problem we do not under
take to solve.
1.-THE earthquake was not acc0mpa-
MED by any tidal phenomena. The
waters of the bay were quiet, and
there was no preceptible huetuation.
The undulating motion was from an
opposite direction of the earthquake
which occurred in October, 1865. The
force was from the southeast in the
one YESTERDAY, while that in 1865 was
from the northwest. The focus
Of the earthquake yesterday, or the
point where the greatest apparent
force was exerted, was at no great dis
lance from the town of Haywood, on
the opposite side Of the bay. A large
one-stOry brick warehouse, and appar-
entlya very strong0ne, was complete
" demolished, and all the brick bull
dings of that town and of Centreville
were either thrown down or ruined.
Frame buildings In or near the latter
town were also thrown down, and cat
tie were thrown OF their feet. The
focus of the earthquake Of 1885 wa not
far from the town of Santa Cruz. It is
certain that the greatest apparent
force yesterday was exerted within a
circle of sixteen miles, Of which Hay
wood was very nearly the center. San
Francisco was just beyond the line
Of the greatest disturbance, but nearer
to it than that of any other notable
earthquake Of which we have any re-
cord.

At the recent exhibition Of the
Grape Growers Association of New
York, over one thousand feet of table
was used in making the display. Sew
eral exhibitors used over one hundred
plates. After testing the varieties and
awarding the premiums, interesting
discussions were had on various sub
jects connected with cultivating the
grape. There seemed to be a general
conclusion that we plant too close to.
gether. Ten by twelve feet apart was
thought to be about the proper dis
tance.

PIantlng GraPea.


Six feet by eight, used to be the dis
tance apart recommended by nearly
all grape growers, to set vines. When
we first commenced planting in Ne
braska, we adopted this plan, but have
long since found it a mistake, especial
" for trellis training. Hereafter we
shall plant eight by ten feet, and ten
by twelve feet, owing to varieties. We
find even the Delaware, in four or five
years, wants more room than six by
eight. We know it seems almOst i'm
possible to the beginner that the little
vine he is scattering out six by eight
feet apart with but two buds, a ever
grow to such proportions as to enter
lace or crowd each other, and that ii
looks like a waste of ground; but ex-
perience will tell the tale. As to waste
of ground, the space between the vines
can all be used for the cultivation OF
some small sized crops until the grapes
need the room.
Some of our Delawares have grown
canes the past season eight and ten
feet in length Diana still longer
Concord, Rogers No. 10, and other va
rieties still beyond that.

Fruit stealing.

Agricultural Editor advertiser:
Iwould like to draw the attention
of parents and children to an evil
which ought to be stopped at once
Fruit Stealing. My taste runs in the
fruit line. I have expended time,
money and care in trying to raise
fruit and after all my exertions,
hopes, &C.. find, just when the fruit
gets half ripe, some scoundrel thinks
he has better rights, steals the fruit,
Injuries the trees, and laughs in his
sleeve as having done a smart trick.
Now / hold that the man who has
planted fruit trees ought to have its
first fruit as it is a well known fact
that all fruit trees are NOS adapted to
our climate, so that a fruit culturist in
trying TO raise fruit, reports the kind
adapted to our soil, and others
reap the benefit of his experience.
To illustrate the injury done to my
self and community will state I have
some fine trees of the White Winter
Pearmain considerably some tender
variety ten years old, which never
before bore fruit. 1 watched them
carefully, intending to bring them to
our County Fair but, 10 and behold!
presO-gOne! Not even a trace left.
1 planted an orchard seven or eight
years ago, and have quite a number OF
trees in bearing but am so unfOrtu-
nate as to have the fruit stolen every
year since. Now, as regards the
White Pearmain, if a person comes
and says, what kind of a tree is this ?
does it bear well ? is it hardy ? is the
fruit good-worthy of general cultiva-
ton g? what can I say? If I knew the
thief, I might send to him for infor-
nation. 1t is not of dollars and cents
of which / complain but the injury
done to others who wish to plant trees
in not being able to report of the diff
ferent kinds adapted to Nemaha
County, Neb. Rock CREEK.

Charles Reemelin, Of Cincinnati,
and author of the "Wine Makers
Manuel, +" says:-"As the wine trade
becomes a free trade, it will inevitably
become a more honest trade. All
Government has ever done by its pro-
hibitiOn, or protective tariff, is to help
rOgues cheat fools and rob honest
men,"

We sympathize with our friend
"RocE Creek" in his misfOrtunes-
losing his fruit. It is vexatiOUs to be
thus treated. Some men and boys are
naturally mean and vicious in such
respects, and we know Of no rule to
meet their case, especially as there is
always ito be catching before
hanging" Kindness works well
Oftner than anything else. We
have never been troubled with the
boys robbing our trees or vines. The
boys about us have long since learned
that we always divide with them,
and that when the fruits are ripe, they
will get a share By asking for IL. We
do not know what the characteristics
of our friend are in this respect, but
make the suggestions for what it is
worth.

THE NV SENATOR FROM KENTUCKY IN HIS SEAT.

hastily and relieved Mr. Howe Mr. Sumner called out TO
Mr. Howard who sits q few feet from him. '0ppose il,
Howard" but the appeal was met with a dnbi-
GUS shake of the head. He then turned TO MIR.
Drake, but that worthy could give him no comfort.
During all this time no attention was paid by tho Chair
to the motion Of Mr. Davis, but finally discovering that
his brother radicals had given the hope Of nvenng
plausible plea 10 dsfranchise the State Of Kentucky,
Mr. Wade fatered out "The Senator will come forward
and be sworn in" Mr. McCresry then came forward
on the arm Of Mr. Davis when the oath to support the
constitution administered by Mr. Wade, and the
ron.cad oath read by the Clerk Perfect silence
prevailed and suppressed feeling of excitement was
evident throughout the whole cnam6er. II was not
