be done in the shade, and infused in a
teapot, the leaves of the vine make an
excellent substitute. for tea. have also
found that, on being cut small, bruised
and put into vat or mash-tub, and boil

way as done in malt, the prunings of
the vine produces liquor of a fine vinous
quality which on being fermented makes
a very fine beverage, either strong or

distilled, produces an excellent spirit of

my experience found that the ferment-

Er.dleatiag sprouts.

Girdle thetree about one foot above the
ground, any time when the the bark
will strip, but during the hot weather
in August is best. Separate the bark
from the body of the tree down to the
ground, and as far along the roots as can
be done without splitting, except a little
at the tep, just enough to let it stand out
and form q cup. Fill the cup with salt
and the tree will die to the utmost ex-
tremities of its roots, involving in its
death every sprour.! Cherry trees can
be killed as readily. At present / am
killing burdock, without fail, by cut
ting even with the ground, then split
the root down the middle and put a
tablespoonful of salt on the cut surface,
and the work is done. In two or three
cases, where the dock was growing in
the midst ofa currant bush it killed cur
rants and all.
Other correspondents write as fol-
laws:
Girdling tree will kill it and the
main roots, but not the rootlets near the
surface. From these, sprouts will grow
the next year. Cut these off with a
scythe close to the ground about the
lst of August, and their roots will die
In regard to deadning trees, the best
time is in the dark of the moon, in Au-
gust. A few years ago I killed lot of
yellow willow trees by girdling them in
the dark of the moon, in August, and it
killed them so effectually that not one of
them ever tried to put out shoot again.
The yellow willow is generally not very
easily killed, but this was effectual

of cinder in her eye, occurred while
travelling on the cars four days ago; eye
very much infiamed, painful, and at
tended with severe headache. This is
one of hundreds of cases where little
knowledge would not have been dam
gerous thing, and would save a world of
pain. Nothing is more distressing to a
traveller than a piece of cinder i'll the
eve, and no disorder is more easily REM
edied. Calling the family together, pro-
Iceeded to show them that it was not an
eye wash that Mrs. Andrews needed to
relieve her suffering, but the removal OF
the foreign substance. The cinder will
be fourd Just underneath the margin OF
the lid, where there is a small groove or
gutter for the flow of tears to the inner
angle of the eye. Foreign bodies tend to
fall in this groove. and if they are angu-
lar, like cinder, they adhere.in spite of
the current of tears which now float in
great abundance, and sooner or later
carry off smooth substances. Now ifyou
raise the margin of the upper lid and
turn it over, the cinder or grain of sand
will be exposed, and may easily be re-.

Taking my pencii in my right fingers,

from the ball, pressed the point of the
pencil downward upon the upper surface
of the lid, about one-fsurth of an inch
from the margin, and at the same time
carried the margin upward over the PEN

over the pencil SO as to expose complete

of the young ladies to perform this oper-
alton upon her mother, which, after two
or three failures she accomplished, and
as Ipredicted, small angular pieces of
ciuder were found beneath the margin
of the lid, which the adroitly removed
with the point of the pencil. Mrs. An
drews expressed immediate relief. So
much interest was felt in this painless
operation that all in turn performed. it,
being much aided by requiring the per-

81 THE BEST MULCH FOR GRAPE VINES.
IA correspondent OF the Country Cen
tlenan says that he finds leached ashes
and cut grass the best mulch for thu
grape vine. The ashes gather moisture
and repel heat. Grape vines that were
,mulched at the commencement of the
drought last summer stood the heat
well. When the grass rots. the roots
derive nutriment from it. The grass is
put on first, and then covered with
ashes. This mulch is both protective
and ,enriching, and the nutriment il of

A scArmISG DENUNcIArIoS OF BULLOCK, THE


CARPEr-BAG GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA.
In the Washington dispatches to the Boston
Advertiser, the ablest and most respectable OF
the Radical newspapers of New England, we find
the following:
Governor Bullock's conduct here since this
Georgia bill came up has been sadly wanting in
dignity and respect for his office and many per-
sons speak Of it as shameful. To-day and yes
ter1ay he was the busiest man in the House,
and constantly, while the bill was under discus
sion, has been doing all he could to manipulate
its provisions and get 1t fixed to his own liking.
He Is officially charged in documents laid before
the House by the State treasurer, a Republican OF
many years. standing with using ifty-one thou
sand dollars OF State money in direct violation OF
law, with appropriating four thousand dollars to
himself and never accounting therefor, with TAX
ing and paying out ten thousand dollars in dis
obedience of the order of the lower branch OF the
Legislature, with using nearly one hundred thou
sad dollars in the way OF patronage to buy infu
ence and with selling two hundred and sixty-fve
thousand dollars in State bonds on no warrant or
color Of authority to the great detriment OF the
State credit and the discomfort OF creditors in
this country and Europe. If the Legislature had
met in regular way he would probably have
been impeached. His friends say that now he
will be elected to the Senate Of the United States
In January. In view OF all the circumstances OF
his case, gentlemen Of character say he has
shown ''eXtreme imprudence.n
