Renovaling Old Currant

Old current bushes are among the
most unpromising things with which
one has to deal. The tangled and
misshapen stalks present q puzzle
to the novice. Whatever is done
should be undertaken during the first
mild spell, as the currant pushes
very early. The bush will probably
have numerous shoots starting from
below ground. or near tho surface;
cut out al but four or six of these.
according to the size Of the plant,
leaving only the most healthy look
ing ones, and taking care to have
these IS equally distant as possible.
The fruit is borne on wood two or
more years old. One-year old wood
is very readily distinguished by
its different color and small buds.
Cut out oil weak shoots of this kind
and shorten the stronger ones two
thirds or one-half. Manure around
the bushes, and when dry weather
approaches, mulch. Make the old
bushes do their best, and start q
plantation, which will come into
bearing in two years.
A correspondent OF the Cottage
Gardner, says that the best COM
post for potted roses is one third
each of rich, stiff clay, sand. or fine
ashes. and decayed black dung
Pelargoniums, fuohias, roses, straw
berries, hollyhocks and dahlias all
like ,ow-dung. For the last two it
is perhaps the best Of manurcs. It
contains more potash than any 9th.
er animal manure, hence as potash
is the grand constituent Of straw
berry. It is also excellent for that
delicious fruit. In o word cow-dung
is one Of tho best Of manures. The
same may be said OF SCOT which con-
tains nitrogen and carbon. In
watering the pot-rose. . skcwer
should be used to make holes in the
soil to lot in the water.

stopped His Paper.
The following anecdote of the
late Mr.. Swain, from the Philadel-
phia Press, is not without its moral
in other ATTITUDES than Pcnnsyl-
vania
Many years ago Mr.. Swain, then
editor Of the Public Ledger, was
hailed at the cornor of Eighteenth
and Chestnut streets by q very ex-
cited individual, who informed him
in the most emphatic terms
II have stopped your paper, sir, "
and proceeded to explain the why
and wherefore, all the time gcstic-
ulating wildly.
"My gracious, sir, you don't
say SO! Come with me to the Office,
and let us see if we cannot remedy
the matter. 1t grieves me that any
one should stop my paper"
Down Chestnut to Third the two
proceeded. Arriving at tho Office,
Mr.. Swain said
"Why. my dear sir. everything
seems to be going on here as. usual;
thought you had stopped my pa
per-"
Then and there the excit ed gentle
man, whom the long walk, by the
way, had partly cooled, said that
he had stopped taking his one copy
Of the Ledger. Mr.. Swain was pro-
fuse in bis apologies for having
misunderstood the meaning Of his
late subscribers words. and regret
tsd that he had given him the tramp
from Eighteenth street to Third,
down Chestnut. The gentleman
went on his way home. a wiser if
not better man, marveling at the
stupidity of editors in general, and
Of Mr.. Swain in particular. Before
he left, however, he ordered that
the Ledger be still sent to his ad-
dress.

The Gettysburg Advertising DODGE.


The Gettysburg battle field commemoraton
assemblage, as it has been termed, was
brought to conclusion last Saturday and the
general meeting dissolved. Military men who
had participated in fight which resulted, at
the best, in a victory barely won, beat ''to
quarters" on every side and commenced their
journey towards home. 1t was time. The
tattoo which summoned them to meet on this
modern Golgotha, formed of the bones of brave
Americans of the armies Of the North and of
the South, was sounded in the interest of a
new speculation-the sale of the water of the
Gettysburg Springs 1t was an advertising
dodge-a dodge undertaken for the sole pur
pose of bringing the water of these springs
into notice. Advertising lodges are of very
early date, and their successful preparation
for money-making uses taxes human ingenuity
pretty severely at times. They have ever
expressed deception, and consequently were
calculated to mislead the public very extern
sively in the days prior to the complete estab-
lishment of the cheap newspaper press by the
subordination of steam and the electric tele-
lodges were of an amusing, but, as in
the case of the latest, heartless and
unfeeling character. Twenty-Five years since
an Irish Spectator in Dublin advertised for
the services of any number of unemployed
aged men, promising to give them sixpence
day and their board" He had many appli-
cants but the poor fellows found in the even
ing that although they received sixpence in
cash for the day their board meant only the
large wooden shingles, to be carried one on the
back and the other in front, on which his
placards were pasted. the mans head being
driven through hole in the centre The per-
ambulating cheap pencil man of Paris 'laid
off, some years since, and as no person could
say where he went to it was given out he was
dead. He suddenly reappeared, however, in
the streets, and his pencils were talked OF
more than ever, he himself observing, "Any
person knows how to live, but few know how
to die in order to live" California u
advertised once in San Francisco by lettering
puppy dogs, which. he bought from the boys,
and then leaving the animals to run into the
refreshment saloons. The greed of gain be-
gets selfshness and cruelty. Hence advertis-
ing lodges. To-day we have books, pam
phlets bottles of water, canes, wine and dog
fighting, with many other sorts of new adver-
Using lodges. The Gettysburg Springs wate
case is the latest It may be q joint stool
concern, perhaps; but in any view the nations
dead should be permitted to sleep in peace.

General Grant touching our domestic and
foreign affairs, and especially upon the great
money question, that will give new impulse
of confidence and enterprise to our financial
and business men North and South, East and
West. We entertain the opinion that General
Grant has been making these summer plea
sure excursions with an eye to business and
the general interests of the country, and we
shall look for the evidence In his first annual
message to Congress
| Our advertising columns begiu to show that
the pleasurfng season is breaking up, and that
business is again the order of the day. Our
increasing subscriptions and daily sales of the
HERALD in town show that the return tide is
fairly setting in. We predict the Inauguration
this fall season of new epoch of progress and
prosperity to this great metropolis without a
precedent in the history of any people. We
have made our arrangements accordingly to
meet all demands from our advertisers and
subscribers of the city, the State, the
United States and the four quarters
of the globe. The HERALD has become
the index of all the fluctuations in this
great commercial and financial centre of
the Continent, and the recognized organ of
the independent masses Of the American
people in political affairs, as well as the best
newspaper in the world. All parties, all
creeds, all nationalites, all classes and all in
terests are embraced in our great constituency.
Having shown the way how to gain them, we
know how to hold them.
The newspaper pioneer in modern American
journalism-the advanced organ of public SEN
timent and progress, of the new age of steam
power and lightning communications over all
the land, and from Continent to Continent
the HERALD does not and will not flag while
all the world is moving onward. As for ex-
amples, in the French invasion, occupation
and execution of Mexico, and the Fenian in
vasion of Canada and the splendid British
Abyssinian expedition, the HERALD commits
sioners will still, in all the great movements and
events of the day, give the first authentic news
in full to the world. From thirty odd years
of successful enterprise, experiment and ex-
perience we have gained the assistants, the
system, the machinery and the capital for any
contingency. The success and superiority of
the HERALD as a daily journal of the news of
the globe is established, and its facilities and
advantages for maintaining this position are
amply secured. Our readers know this to be
true; our advertisers of even q few years have
grown rich upon this doctrine, and they who
have been with ia from the start are among
our milionnaires

The Close of the Summer Pleasuring
The Herald.
The LIST of September marks the turn in the
tide. The summer pleasuring season in the
country draws to a close, and the fall season
of business is again upon us. Through all the
summer the currents of travel from every
poi mt of the compass of which this city is the
centre have kept our hotels and our numerous
places Of amusement pretty full, but since the
LIST of July our shopkeepers of all descriptions,
wholesale and retail, have been unanimous in
the complaint of the stagnation in business.
Country customers coming in have been COM
paratively few and far between, and the
thousands, yea, the tens Of thousands, of our
citizens off to the seaside or the interior, or
to the Pacific coast or to Europe, have made a
serious vacuum in all our business thorough
fares
! Our fashionable summer resorts, meantime,
have not enjoyed a season of remarkable
prosperity. Sensible people are beginning to
find out that in seeking recreation, health or
pleasure at these great caravansaries at the sea
shore or the springs is paying dearly for the
whistle, and quieter places of more modest
pretensions have been the gamers thereby
The flush times Of fat war contracts and of
shoddy and petroleum have passed away, and
even the gold gamblers of Wall street. in
their holiday adventures, are learning
to consult their margins of profits and
losses But the fall season of business
is at hand, and our absentees in the country
are returning to town. Henceforward
too, till next July we anticipate goot
times to our business classes and satisfactory
returns on the right side of the ledger
Though drought has cut short some of thu
crops in the South and West, the general yiel,
of the country in all our great staples is glo
rious and unparalleled. In cotton, sugar, ric
and tobacco the South will perhaps have thi
year a margin of three hundred millions @
money for improvements and investments i
Northern and European products, manufac
lures and skilled labor, while the wheat an
Indian corn crops of the great Northwest an
of California are magnificent in quantity an

States this may be called the year of jubilee

City POIitics-The War Of the Clubs-Bat-

seTan-tara! tan-tara tan-ta-r-r-a" "Rata-
plan! rataplan! rataplanw Sound the trump
cts Rattle the drums! The war of the
clubs and the battle of the democratic ele-
ments in the city of New York have begun.
Field Marshal Tweed is already in the field,
backed by his brave Irish boys, with the
bright emerald cofors of the America flying in
the breeze, and only awaiting the appearance
of the silken and gold bespangled banners Of
the Manhattan, marshalling the German hosts,
under the gorgeous Belmont, to enter into the
contest and fight it out on any line until one or
the other of the contending foes bites the dust.
The first represents the Irish democratic ele-
ment in the city the latter the German demo-
cratic element. The Germans say the Irish
have had the run of the public kitchen long
enough, and it is time they came in for
crumb of public plumber and few drippings
from the smoking and savory sauerkraut in the
public cullender. They urge that they have
for long time helped to maintain the
supremacy of the democracy in the city; that
they have long been faithful devotees at the
shrine of St. Tammany; that they have helped
to swell the war whoops of the sachems when
ever the enemy was near that they have ever
been steadfast and true, and always voted the
regular ticket without winking or blinking at
the preponderance Of beautiful Celtic patro-
nvmics that adorned the same. They now
demand that their fidelity should be rewarded;
that they should be represented in some
manner by the overruling providence which,
at the dctation of st. Tammany, holds the
bestowal of official position in the hollow Of its
hands. And why shouldn't they? Why
shouldn't the Teutonic element have share in
the stupendons city and county jobs that ara
breaking the backs of the taxpayers
The Germans have always been good, sober
industrious citizens. Their power has been
gradually looming up, until, like pillar OF
fire or a puncheon of lager, it can be seen by
day and by night, Sundays excepted. That
power will serve as o. wholesome check upon
the Celtic element, not that we have any
fears of the impregnabiliy Of the virtue and
probity of that element, but in order that it
may not, like all parties that become too power
full. sink into evil habits and become vicious
and corrupt-like the radical party, for ex-
ample. The Germans are naturally quiet
and phlegmatc race, indifferent to what is
passing around them 80 long as they are per-
mitted to enjoy their meerschaum and their
favorite beverage. These characteristics are
more true of them in tho Old World than in
the New, for here they have spur to their
imagnations, rasp upon their stolidity and,
as one Bismarck has just awakened their
kindred in the iaderland to new lie, SO
another Bismarck will prick their ambition
into something like vitality and animation in
this their adopted home. In other than
