Moss on FRUIT TREEs-Thc .Wnine
ard Scientific Press, speaking of the
growth of moss on fruit trees, says it usu-
ally commences when the tree is about five
years old, and Increases in quantity from
year to year, gradually eating away the life
Of the tree, and seriously injuring its pro-
ductive capacity. This growth takes place
during the summer season, and chiefly
upon the windward or northwestly 81 lie.
1t is usually first seen upon the trunk,
near the ground, and gradually asccnds,
envcloping in its progress all the main or
older branchcc. Its early appearance is
often mistaken for insects. 1t is more or
less vigorous and rapid in its growth, uc-
cording as the locality is subjected to
greater or less moisture, from wind or
fogs.
LA. Gould, of Santa Clara, informs the
Press, that he has found an effectual pre-.
tentative in the use of sulphate of copper,
or "blucstone." Dissolve the bluestone
as it is done in preparing it for wheat, and
wash the trunk and branches thoroughly,
as soon as the moss begins to appear. A
single application is good for three or four
years. Mr.. Gould first applied it to about
thousand trees four years ago, and the
moss is just now beginning to make its re-
appearance. The solution works no injury
to the tree, and besides its utility in kill
ing and keeping away the moss, is also an
advantage in destroying any insects, Or
their eggs, or larvae, which may exist on
the bark at the time ofapplication.

Midnight Assassins,

We heartily commend the following
from the Nashville Banner of late date:
"The midnight rufianism, which took
shape in the brutal murder of colored
man, near Chattanooga on Saturday night
as detailed in another column, was a wan
ton outrage, and, as such, demands the
sternest reprobation. Even if the mur.
dered man had been guilty of some helm
GUS crime, there still would be no iustif
cation for clubbing and shooting him to
death, while the law was potent to mete
out punishment. We are not of those
who anticipate Congressional Reconstruct
tion in Tennessee, but if it should come
in any shape, no one will be at loss to
determine where the responsibility will
rest. Our State is not altogether out of
the woods, but whether danger from Con.
gressional interference be apprehended or
not, public opinion should make it too hot
for masked rufians and assassns to wreak
their vengeance on defenceless negroes.
Commenting on the outrage we refer to,
the Chattanooga Times expresses the views
of the order-loving everywhere when it
says 'The people of Hamilton County owe
it to themselves to see that this matter is
thoroughly investigated, and the guilty
parties brought to justice. We cannot af-
ford to have our county disgraced by mid
night masked assassins, and the whole
force of the law and of public opinion
should be invoked to bring them to speedy
punishment. There is no politics in the
matter at all. 1t is a simple question of
law and order against mob law. The
Democratic party is party of law and
order, and it should permit no Kuklux
oatrsges or mob law Of any kind"

among other things, that time is money.

Breaking UD,

The Radicals do not fail to see that
their party is fast breaking up. In many
of the States the evidence is forced upon
them by the current of passing events.
The Radical organs look on ''the breaking
up of the party" with mOurnful concern.
The New York Commercial says. "The
political folly of Tennessee is now being
repeated in Missouri. The rupture in the
State Convention is being carried into
local contests, and the Drake and Brown
factions are nominating opposing candi-
dates for Congress. The upshot of this
deplorable folly will be that the Ropubli-
cans will lose not only the State bnt the
entire Congressional delegation"

TO Business Men.

Your work is cut out before you, and
like true man you must not shirk it.
But you must consider that you have a
stomach to superintend as we'll as clerks,
and that if you do not give it a passing
thought the balance will be dead against
you in the ledger of health. Do not fol-
get the good old adage, "After dinner
rest awhile" Let your meals bo consid-
cred as important an item in the business
of the day az Watching the Grmnes5 of the

to calculate with foresight, and just for
the lack of a little astronomical kuowl-
edge you may be bankrupt.

are numborless professors who go "tramp,

Greeneville, Alabama, where ''profcssor''

one of the lectures the sentence, "Mary

A Bottle Story,

The latest temperance appeal comes from
Oberlin. 1t is a short one. Eight
months ago, blacksmith working there,
but living in an adjoining county, left his
forge one day aud didnot return. Nothing
was afterward heard from him, and il
was supposed that, in a reckless mood,
he had left his wife and eight children to
try his fortune in California, as he had
sometimes talked of doing. A few days
ago, boy, seeking his COW in the pasture
near the village, found, half hidden in
the weeds under hedge, a bundle of rags
wrapped about mans skeleton. The
clothes were recognizable, and an empty
bottle beside them told the story. The
missing man had not gone to California.
He had purchased whisky and wandered
off in a drunken debauch, dying, no one
knows in what torments, in the open
field, within half mile of three thou
sand people, and lying unburicd eight
months, till the flesh had rotted from his
bones. Those who are coquetting with
strong drink, may we'll shudder at this
terrible story,

Messrs. GEO. A. PRINCE & Co.:
SIRs-ln 1852 purchased one of your ocs
tave MelOdeOns, and after using it a short time in

Bangkok, Siam. The instrument was use las4-
ing the voyage out and kept in almost daily SER
vice in Siam about fourteen years. We used it
in public and social worship in both the native
and English services singing schools and social
gatherings. 1t has been of great service in
teaching music to the natives and enabling them
to sing correctly. We have taken it on excur-
sions and travels in the country, and it has serv-
ed to cheer our weary spirits and beguile many
tedious hour. The instrument is still COOL 4,
and on our return again, will yet serve us or
ethers for many years. 1t gives me much pleas
ure to recommend your instrument at home and
abroad.
There were several Melodeons of other makers
brought into Siam while we were there but none
eauallcd yours in purity and volume of tone, or
stood the climate so well and kept in such perfect
tune. The climate of India is very trying to Or
gans and MelOdeons on account of the severity
of the hot and rainy seasons. Your instruments
have stood the best of any, and if they win stand
the climate of India, all lovers of music should
give them the preference every where.
