The President and Congress.

THE President is very regardless of the
feelings of those who have gleefully en-.
larged upon his differences with the
Legislative branch of the Government.
He will not crafty them with even the
semblance of quarrel with Congress.
On Wednesday of last week he sent a mes
sage recommending action in regard to
the reconstruction of Virginia and Mis-
sissippi On Thursday the House passed
bill in accordance with his suggestions,
and sent it to the Senate. On Friday the
Senate amended it, passed it, and sent
1t to the House. The House received
it, concurred in the amendments, passed
IL, and sent it to the President fer
his signature. Here was the best con-
ceivable opportunity for a neat quarrel.
That intense jealousy, that latent distrust
OF the President, of which we have heard
so much, might have expressed themselves
most readily. But as they do not exist.
they did not appear. Even General But.
Ter, who is supposed to remember his
hostilities quite as wildly as other men.
was foremost in promoting the Presidents
suggestions. The last important act of
Congress was an expression. of the utmost
confidence in President Grant.-Harper's
Weekly.

The Purest and Safest.

The efficacy of HOSTETTER'S CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTERS as a specific for recruiting
the enfeebled body and cheering the responding
mind has passed into a proverb. In the United
States, where this marvellous tonic has borne
down all opposition and eclipsed all rivalry, the
demand for it has annually increased in heavier
and heavier ratio for years. UNTIL at last the regu-
lar sales of this preparation exceed those of all
other stomanchlCs combined Eminent members
OF the medical profession and hospital surgeons
without number have candidly admitted that the
pharmacopeia of the fae1lty contains no pre-
scription that produces suoh beneficial effects in
dyspepsia, general debility and nervous diseases,
as HOS LETTERS BITTERS. To use the lam
guage of venerable physician of New York,
t" The Bitters are the purest stimulant and the
safest tonic we have But the uses of the great
vegetable antidote are much more comprehensive
than such praise would imply. AS a PREPARA-
TORY ANTIDoTE to epidemic disease, genial
stimulant, promoter of constitutional vigor, an
appetizer, stomnchic, and remedy for nervous
debility, no medical preparation has ever attained
the reputation of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. 1t
is the HOUSEHOLD TONIC of the AMERICAN
PEOPLE, and in all human probability will be so
for centuries to come. The magnates of Sci
ence recognize its merits and that it is emphati
cally the medicine of the Masses is proved by it's
vast and ever Increasing sales.

The Memory of Lincoln In France.

THERE was recently held in Paris a
meeting to commemorate the memory of
Abraham Lincoln. After Professor La
boulaye came Mr. Chochin, the principal
orator. He traced the life of Lincoln
from his boyhood up to his death, and
held him up as a model of patriot
statesman and Cristian man. He quoted
from his speeches and writings to show
that he was a great political thinker, and
that his ideas were of that class of ele
mentary IDEAS on which great govern
ments may be built and great deeds &C
complished. SIS G
If you have not yet awakened to the
fact in America, says Paris letter, you
will soon do so, that Lincoln is hereafter
to take stand as one of the great land
marks in history. If you do not yet com
prehend the immensely Of the role he played
in the political progress of mankind, these
people do. While you are still embar-
raised with certain crudities in character
these people see nothing but his grandeur
and desire to see nothing more.

Tomatoes to Ripen Them Early.

First, have stout, tapering plants, by
giving them plenty of room, sunlight and
air, from the commencement of growth.
Then study the habits of the plant, and
you will see that, from the main stem, it
throws out, at intervals, long rough leaves /;
and at later period, from above the
junction Of these leaves with the stem,
start out secondary stems with the same
habits as the original These continue to
multiply themselves until you have a
large vine, and plenty of small green fruit,
necessarily late in ripening, for the reason
that the force of the plant has been spend
ing in producing vine. Do not wait thus
long and think to remedy the matter by
slashing off the vine at random, to let in
sunlight, as is a common practice. Begin
with the plant in time, and train it to suit
you. .8a.s a IS
The time to begin trimming is just when
the first cluster of flower buds appear.
This will generally be at the junction of the
further fifth leaf mentioned. At this time
the secondary stems will be seen just
starting above the junction of all the
leaves below. Here begin your work.
Pinch them all off at once, and
when they start out again, as
they will, pinch off again until you con-
quer. You have now stopped the making
Of vine below this cluster of flower buds,
and all the strength and juices of the plant
are sent upwards pushing forward the
cluster of flowers and the secondary stems
above. After little, commence your
work above, and pinch off all these Sec
ondary stems, except enough to leave five
or six clusters of fruit. Your vine, so long
as you continue to pinch off these stems,
is checked both top and bottom. Keep it
tied up to strong stake, and in due time
your vine will be almost completely hid
den by mass of ripe fruit, all in the sun
light. .vri gzaf.e -...s -..- .s
By this process I have not failed for sew
eral years having my first ripe tomatoes
the last of July, and last year on the
twenty fourth. A little observation and
skill will supply what further might be
added, but for making this paper too
lengthy. Rich soils can do no harm to

Z Pruning and TranspIanting.

E z
THE principle cannot be too often re-
peated and too thoroughly understood,
that pruning tree in spring after the buds
have expanded, or later when In full
growth, always checks its vigor to great
er or less degree. This check Is greatest
in the cherry and least in the peach. 1t
is nearly as severe in the pear, and less so
In the apple. But in all these trees,
greater or less check is given by pruning
after the buds have opened. Whatever
cutting away may be needful, should
therefore be done early. Young trees
which have been budded last summer
should be headed down before the buds
swell, and the same care taken in grating
young trees in which the removal OF the
top is required. Early grating is less
essential in large trees, where but small
portion needs removal in the operation.
Suckers, which sprout up around larger
orchard trees, may be most easily taken
off later in spring by placing the foot,
covered with thick cowhide boot, on the
sucker, or between it and the tree, and
then giving the shoot sudden jerk with
both hands-which for this purpose should
be furnished with good buckskins. If
these suckers have commenced growing.
they will be less likely to start again.
| In transplanting it is of the utmost i'm
.portance that the ground be in good con
!dition - deep, mellow and properly
drained. Spread out the small roots of
the trees while setting, that they may
serve as braces all around, and hold the
trees firmly in the SOIL Fill up all the in
terstices among the roots, and especially
just below the foot of the stem, which is
most apt to be left with a cavity. Cut
back the young shoots of the head of the
tree, so as to give it good even SYM
metrical form, taking out all super
numerary twigs, and making it as light as
may be. This must be done before the
buds swell, as we have already explained,
or it will do more harm than good.-C0Un-

The Principle Which Gives Relish to
Food and Drink.

Much too little has hitherto been thought
by Psychologists, and almost nothing has
been written on that beautiful provision
1or our happiness by which everything
that is useful as food or drink is most
agreeable to the palate, so that the higher
our relish for any given article, the more
perfectly is it digested, and made to supply
the wants of the system; we have, there
fore, natural guide to the right kind of
1000 at the right time, and, ON the other
hand, have disrelish for articles which,
not being suited to our condition, would
De injurious. But little reflection will
snow US that in this adoption of our pal
ates to the peculiar taste or osmazome of
every distinct article of food, we have a
faithful sentinel, inviting the admission of
Irlenos and protecting us from the ap-
proach Of enemies.
fIace before a child who has never
lasted OF sugar, or butter, or superfne
nour, or any other elements of food that
nave been separated from their natural
connections, and whose tastes are there
lore unperverted, milk, unbOlted bread,
meats, fruits, or any other natural food,
ana ne will choose just that article which
is best adapted to his condition at the
tlme, and may be trusted to eat as much
as ne pleases.
But the taste is perverted with food in
which the. flavor is excessive, as in butter,
sugar, fine flour, etc, and it is no guide,
but deceptive. -I.tt Hrs-a
And here we are liable to err. Our
natural gustatory pleasures are not in pro-
portion to the amount of osmazome in our
food or drink. Natures davors are very
Q6uCate, and the very chOlcaet rpliah ia
that produced by very slight traces of
osmazome. For example, take nutmeg, a
very slight grating of which will flavor a
large bowl of porridge Attempt to in
crease the relish by increasing the quantity
OF the spice, and you utterly fail, making
your beverage less and less agreeable as
you increase the quantity of nutmeg, till
1t becomes disgusting, and positively in
furious t's TO the digestive process; and this
Is true OF all other condiments, and, in-
deed, all other good things. Delicate
