Watermelon Culture.

As planting will soon be upon us again,
l would like to give the readers of your
excellent paper the benefit OF my expe-
riencs in raising watermelons. tried to
raise them for several years, but failed in
every attempt until the last two years. /
plant the seed in an old tin pan or box
about the first Of May. and keep them in
warm place on the southeast side Of the
house, and when they are nicely up,
transplant them where I have designed
they should grow. Before put them out
I remove the soil Is or Is inches deep and
two feet wide, and then fill the hole .hus
made with thoroughly pulverizca manure
and the soil, mixed in equal parts; the
hills should be 5 or 6 feet apart each
way. put in three plants to u hill. If
Il is dry. cover them for day or two.
have had no trouble in making them
live; they bear transplanting rs well rs

this way rs could wish for.
Last spring. / thought that If I prepar-
ed the ground rs above stated, and plant
co the seed In the hill. would get good
crop planted them in the hill; they
came up well. but did not seem TO grpw,
and in short time had not n single

MErz.-Mstz, the capital Of the De-
partment of the MoSelle, is situated at
the junction of tho rivers Moselle and
Seille. at the distance of ITO miles east
of Paris in a direct line. 1t is one OF
the most strongly fortified cities OF
France, and Is the center Of the triple
range of f~ortresseS by which the cole
brated vauban planned the defense OF
France against Germany on the north
and east. Along these frontiers Nau-
ban constructed Lightweight fortresses,
of which Yaleneiennes in the north
and Metz In the east r the strongest.
Metz has Thlonville for Its advanced
post, and Nancy in the rear. The
river Moselle, at this point, Is a small
stream. Metz has q population Of
$4,000, and a regular garrison Of %, 900
soldiers. It is surrounded by three
walls, forming two bitches, about
eighty feet deep, which can be filled
from the river in a very short time.
The defenses are also composed Of
deep bitches filed in with bayonets,
swords, shells. ~grenades. and covered
with earth so as to be Invisible to an
attacking party. Outside are two
high fortified rocks, one OH zach side
OF the Moselle-that on the right side
called Fort Belle Crolx, and that on
the left, Mount st. Quentin. A sema-
phore telegraph is placed on the top of
Mount st. Quentin, which commands
q view Of twenty-five miles, and the
signals are transmitted to the spire of
the cathedral Of Metz, which is 373
feet high.

IMPERIAL. GRAMMAR.-rhe European
critics are hard upon the grammar OF
Louis Napoleon. They say that a GER
tain error in his proclamation OF July
sd, "has revived the impression that,
owing to his early education, the En-
peror Is stronger in his German than
I'm his French" That criticism Is OF
little moment. But the "Secret
Treaty" Is published in the original
French, and the political-grammatical
critics say again, that the document
being in "indifferent French" be-
trays It's Imperial paternity. and is
tine Emperor's own, with perhaps. n
touch from Benedetti, to whom, rs a
Corsican, French Is an acquired Ian
suage. .Phe denlals Of the French
Ministry as to any knowledge of the
document would thus be accounted for.
But "trifes light as air are to poll
ticians as we'll as jealous lovers, "con-
tirmation strong" NJ. Benedetti lies
under another charge, beside the popu-
lar one of bringing about an European
wal by the utterance OF q few words.
lie has been the origin and cause Of a
most outrageous pun. 1t Is suggested
that he Is entitled to q distinguished
. mark Of public distinction, If not APP
probation, and that he should receive
Il patent of nobility, with the title Oh

IN ANTICIPATION.

The PARIS Monde, in order 10 show
that the first Revolution in France was
not directed principally against the
higher orders, quotes the following
figures, the responsibility for which we
leave to that Journal: "The French
Revolution, which certain writers have
set themselves the task of justifying,
was not, as they say, the work of the
people, who suffered as much, or even
more than the wealthy, from the obi
u excuses for which efforts are now
made to render them responsible. The
following statistics are to the point :
Mobiles executed, 1878; women Of the
same class, $50; together, 2,O2s. Nuns,
$50; priests, 2,135; together, 2,4s5.
Females of the laboring classes, l,467;
commoners of all descriptions 1868
together, 10, 100. Women of the peo-
pie killed In La Vendee, 1900; chill
dren, $4,000; together $1,000. At
Nantes the number of Carriers vic
tins was 80, 900, of whom the mobiles
and clergy formed only a very small
proportion, viz: mobiles drowned,
1900; priests shot, 800; drowned 1GO.
In recapitulation, we find commoners
or working classes, $4,000; priests and
mobiles, 6,673." The Monde has not
taken into this account the numbers
who died of starvation. Potion, the
famous Mayor Of Paris, met with this
last mentioned fate. The article from
which the above extract Is made APP
peared not many weeks since, at a
time when the Red Republicans were
making game of the Plebiscite, and 1t
was designed rs an admonition to
those who were plotting the overthrow
of imperialism, that revolution caused
more suffering to those who promoted
them than to those they were directed
against. If ever this were true, 1t was
in the case of the first French Revolu-
ton, during which the poorer classes
suffered untold privations, compared
to which the pangs inflicted by the
guillotine and the bullet were insig.
nificant. So 1t was, and so it over will
be, where the poor live from hand to
mouth and have no capital to fall back
upon ; their suiferings are Immediate
and intense. But capital itself disap-
pears when there Is no security for Its
employment, and thus the general mis-
cry becomes intensified and spread
over a larger number of persons. 1t
may be that there are at this moment
thousands Of "'irreconcilables" In
France watching for the moment when
they may hoist the red flag. Such
men, if they ever read history, read 1t
to no purpose.

out ammunition.
Paris now knows the Prussian
Crown Prince is at yitry lie Francois,
and a battle decisive Of the war IS
hourly expected between him n NC
Mahon.
LONDON, August 2l-S p. M.-The
Pr,ssiansh have made heavy acquisitions
ut Heannevlllc.
Phalzburg, in Vosges, capitulated
on Saturday to the Wurtemburg army.
The capture of this fortress insures a
communication of the Crown Prince
with his base of supplies.
LONDON, August 2l.-The Emperor
and Prince Imperial were at Chalons
Saturday. He was In the saddle that
day, and visited the different corps,
The soldiers crowded around him,
clamorlng to be led into action.
Nothing has been heard OF the gen.
eral action anticipated near Chalons.
The Prussians assert that the French
OH Thursday fired on n flag Of truce
and killed q trumpeter.
King Williams dispatch, dated nine
o'clock Thursday evening, was re-
ceived in London tonight, and con-
firms the Prusslan account of the pre-
vlous battle OIL Tuesday. Bazaine's
affirmation that he remained master OF
the field may have been partially true
without diminishing the extent Of the
French disaster. What the French
fought for, both on Tuesday and Thurs
day, was a chance to retreat. 1t
was doubtful on yesterday whether
Tuesdays battle might not have LEFT
them in possession Of the northernmost
road from Metz to Verdun, or In a
position and force strong enough to
renew the struggle for a passage to
Verdun. If not utterly beaten on
Tuesday, Bazalne was bound to renew
the battle Immediately, since Prusslan
achievements were hourly coming
while to him no fresh troops could
arrive. Nothing is any longer doubt
full. Instead Of Bazaine trying once
more to cut his way through, 1t was
the Prussians who recommended the
hattie and attacked the Frenoh. They
were occupying n strong position west
of Metz, and after nine hours fighting
the Prussians completely defeated
them, cut off their communication with
Paris and drove them back upon Metz.
Such q blow Is decisive, So says King
William.

The Capital has boon supplied with
immense quantities Of provisions and
munitions of war, and could now stand
n siege of months. The rapidity with
which the Government has accumula-
ted stores is wonderful, nor does activ-
lty diminish. The stock of food Is in
creasing.
The Gnulois relates that when tho
Emperor offered to General Trochu
the Governorship Of Paris and COM
mander of the forces here, the latter
stipulated that he must be free to act
as he thought proper, and must be
absolutely uncontrolled. General"
