THINNING OUT GRAPEs.-Is the Importance
of thinning out the fruit of the vine daily con-
sidered by the majority of cultvators?
think not. From close observation, and even
sad experience, the subject. in my opinion.
calls for much more attention than is usually
given. In young vines this is particularly
the case. Such vigorous and hardy constitu-
ted varieties as the Concord may stand it.
but even they will eTentually suffer. This
fault Is not only to be found ic the vineyards
If the novice, but can be seen almost every
where. in charge of those who know better.
This then being admitted, the next question
is: how shall it be remedied? !? S6all we
prune ie so much shorter, so as not to leave
more wood than the vine can carry safely
through, or leave more wood, and then thin
ont the lunches? The latter, in my opinion.
will be the best; for, by the first plan, wei get
our fruit too much crowded and throw too
much force into the young canes for the fol-
lowing years hearing. NV impression is
that when vine is pruned to what would
seem about right. the pinching out of every
third bunch. ct the first operation, pinching
back would be method. | would leave but
two bunshes on each bearing shoot. and in
scme instances il is better to leave but one.
We all know the forming of the seed OF any
fruit is the heaviest tax on the plant. This
being the case, do we NOS give considerable
relief when we diminish this tax one-third
think we would be safe in counting on hav-
ing the same weight of fruit in the two
bunches as if three are left. Some years sgo
we grew Concord bunches in this way. which
the committee, who were to test them. would
not admit to be that variety until they tested
them. For marketing table grapes this is
particularly practicable. For instance, let
one msn take Concords that viii average
three-fourths of pound TO the bunch, and
another have them as usually grown. and my
word for it, the large punches viii command
nearly double price, not only among The
wealthy but the masses Grape 'cnifar'st.

There is no mistake in the figures. Two

So much money would make one continuous

ard, the last of the foreign line of the family,
died in England, leaving the vast accumula-

The property was placed in charge of trus-

through half century has been accumulat-

the English Court of Chaaeery appointed D..

THE GREEKS AID THE GREcIAN BEND.-Tho
Greeks never changed their style of dress.
The plain robe and tunie of Phidias resern-
bled the robe and tnnic of Demosthenes. the
peplum of Helen hung in similar folds to
that of the peplum of Aspesia. The Greeks
never grew tired of the simple folds and stat.
uesque curves Of the simple dress their first
sculptors had immortalized. What would
they have said Of the "Grecian Bend.', that
last distortion of folly and afectatiop ?? The
purest idea OF tho way woman should walk

her pail-erect. buoyant, elastic, the bosom
thrown forward, the head up. Put such a
child OF nature. Irish or Welsh, beside a
young lady walking in the absurd way now

call the "grenadier stride" of English wo-
men,. Women totter forward now-tbey do
not walk. The French shuttle and the Span
isn glide are divine compared with such q
style of walking as the Grecian bend produc-
es. The bend is unsraceful, unnatural
and unhealthy. But it is useless to remon-
strate or revile. What did P,tneh do against
cr'noi'nes? No folly in dress was ever laugh
ed down. What did Hogarth do against the
aosurdities of bis day? Nothing. 1t is sup

from desire to please men,. Ifit does, how

A PNEuMATIc TUBE Four HUNDRED MILEs
LoNG.-The following extract from an Eas-
tern letter describes the operation of pneu-
matte tube between Glasgow and London.
Probably few of our readers ere aware of the
existence of the process by which messages
and packages are almost instantaneously
transmitted between these two cities:
had occasion to send telegram to Lon
don the other day, and in few minutes re-
ceived reply wnich led me to suppose that
serious error had been committed by NV
agents. invoking many thousand pounds.
Immediately went to the telegraph Office and
asked to see my message. The clerk said,
I'VE can't show it to you, as we have sent it
to London" 'But," replied, ''ycu must
have my original paper Lere: wish to see
that" He again said "No, we have not
got it; it is in the Post Office at London. y
"What do you mean?" asked; 'spray let
me see the paper / left here half an hour
ago." "Well," said be, ''if you must see
it, we will get it back in few minutes, but
it is now in London" lie rang bell, and
in FIVE minutes or so produced my message,
rolled up in pasteboard.
/. seems that for some months there has ex-
listed pneumatic telegraph betwixt Glasgow
and London and betwixt London and the 9TH

sists of an iron tube, into which the messages

Der of messages into the pasteboard scroll,

NYE,s HAT.

"The II doodle Club in the Old Guard
for June has another saU on Senator Nye,
but this time Horace Greeley is one of the
sufferers. 1t says:
The sage Of Chsppaqua was at Washington
last week, and was invited to grand pow
wow of the select faithful at Downing's
where there was to be grand supper, and
ell that. Nye, being Senator, and gener-
ally big Indian. was, of course, one or the
guests, and BY way of keeping down his i'm
patience, had itnbibed sundry aud divers
mixtures of water and things during the af-
ternonn, so that when be came to join the
brethorn at the hour appointed, all his native
good nature and kindness of heart were IN
tensi6ed. and he felt like giving every poor
woman in Washington barrel of -four, and
thought of moving JOINT resolution to re-
move the Capital to Bourbon County. Ken
lucky. Jim had invested an Y during the
day in the purchase of new hat. 1t was a
wonderful tile. 1t had been purchased un-
der the advice of Tom Florence, who is a
Judge of hats, and was, for symmetry of pro-
portions. blackness of hue, and ineness of
material, an artistic triumph. With the ut
most care Nye removed that superb castor
from his classical head. Where should be
put it? On peg of the hat.rack ? No.
Guests at supper parties make mistakes.
and going out with certain quantity Of
liquor in, are apt to pick the best Of the
head-gear so that shocking bad hat is a
calamity additional to the woes assigned by
Solomon to those ''who tarry long at the
wine." So he took his precious possession
into the dining-room with him, and carefully
deposited it on a corner of sofa. At that
moment Horace entered. with that elegant
gait of his, that hitch and toss and egg-tread-
ing movement, a cross between the finicky
step of a corsetted dandy and the roll of
sailor just off six years cruise and before
Nye could ssy Jack Rohinson--which nobody
ever tries to cay, or "Take care" which he
ought to have sad-the business was done.
Down fiopred Greeley in that very corner,
and on that Identical stove-pipe hat, crushing
it as fiat as buckwheat cake, and quite as
unconscious as though he had only sat down
on basket OF eggs, or his wife's most pre-
eious band-hox. Nye's hat, minus Nye was
beautiful to look at, as we'll as worth cash

plush, an erection of intellectual design and
consummate execution but Nye's hat, plus
was a wreck, a ruin, desolation,

was plush. and Nye was non-plushed The
Nye way was to swear on such an occasion !;
but Nye is Christian, meek and lowly, end
instead of a highway took by-way. He
steadied himself as we'll as he could under
the burthen Of an affl ction so great. and sniff

gave vent to the emotions of the moment !:
