A BEAUTIFUL SYMBoL.-W hen the
funeral train bearing the remains of
Gen Thomas from California, reached
Darlington, Iowa, it was met by del
egation Of Iowa soldiers and large
coDcourse of citizens. A beautiful
arch, decorated with Iowa battIe-fags,
spanned the track. 4 salute of fifteen
guns were fired, aud dirges were played.
The funeral car was appropriately
draped, and the casket decorated with
choice flowers AS the train started
and the car passed from beneath the
arch, portion of the escaping steam
from an engine OH the side track was
waited over the arch, and just as it
seemed to rest upon the pinnacle Of
the central flagstaff, it wreatbed itself
into beautiful circle and slowly rose
in the air to some distance above, and,
as the undulating outlines foated up
ward, passed away in the bright sun
beams. Those who witnessed the
spectacle were strongly impressed by
this beautiful symbol Of a departing
spirit.

rarely if ever before witnessed on {

mcfarland preserves a cool and com

During the present week the interest

DEAR Sir: have the honor to ackno WI
edge the receipt of your note of the 18th
inst, inviting me, on behalf of Cu0an
League, to "be present and address a grand
mass meeting to be held at Cooper Institute
on Monday evening, April /, for the pur-
pose OF proclaiming the sentiment Of the
American people toward tie struggling
patriots of Cuba.
In reply, l beg leave to say, that the
recruitment Of the American people, as
evidenced by American law, is that the
struggling patriots Of Cuba are pirates, and
that the American merchant who deals
with them is criminal. So long as that
continues to BE- the sentimen of the Amer
lean people, beg to be excused from visit
ing New York to proclaim it. When a
jaster sentiment shall find expression in our
statute book, | shall be glad to proclaim it
everywhere.

PLANTING YOUNG TREEs.-We not
only advise but urge the planting of
young, small trees, especially if they
are brought from a distance. We know
that most persons have an idea that
the oder and larger a fruittree is the
sooner they will get fruit This is a
great error; and can only possibly be
true when trees are uery carefully taken
up, and put into the ground insneedii-
ately. As a rule, however, when trees
are sent to any distance, one year ap-
pie tree is preferable to three year
old ore, They cost less (tcn cents In
stead Of thirty,) for transportation, less
work to handle them, less work to
plant, are surer to live, have better
and more roots according to their size,
are more easily trained, and in six years
they are ahead Of young three year
old trees in all respects. In our opin-
ion, you will get bearing orchard soon
er with one-year- old trees than with
three-year-old or older trees.
Such has long been the teaching and
practice Of the best nurserymen but
many think they know better than those
who have had experience, and SO plant
large trees.
They are, however. generally persons
Who try to ridicule what they term
book-farming, aud they do not read ag-
ricultural papers, and. indeed, we can
have but little hope that they will ever
! abandon their error.-NeJrusAG Id

BABIEs.-But a great part of the
children that are born nowadays are not
good average healthy children. They
are children of deficient brain power, of
deceased nervous systems children be
cotton Of tobacco smoke, late hours,
tight laceing, aud dyspeptic stomachs
The father has put his sons brain into
his meerschaum and smoked itout.; the
mother has dribbled it away in balls
and operas. Two young people come
together, both of them in a state of
mental arrangement. She cannot live
without strong coffee her hand trem-
bles, and she has sinking at the
stomach when she first rises in the
morning, till she has had a cup of
strong coffee, when she is primed for
the day He can not study or read or
preform any mental labor without to-
bacco. Both are burning life's candle
at both ends; both are wa eful and
nervous with weak muscles and yibrat-
ing nerves.
Two such persons unite in giving ex-
istence to a poor, hapless baby, who is
born in a state of such a diseased ner-
vous sensibiliy that all forces Of nature
are torture to it.
"The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children's teeth are set on
edge" What such children cry for Is
neither cold nor hunger, but irrepres-
sible nervous agony-sometimes from
fear, sometimes because everything in
life is too strong for them, and Jars on
their poor weakened nerves just as it
does on those of an invalid in low
nervous fever.-Hearth and Home
