Southern regeneration are the manufac-

time past.

any Of the snobs at Washington, and if

forest roads without seeing the graceful
vine, covered with its light, delicate

them for sale. Some OF the grocery

BIZ TELEGRAPH.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The Russian Min
lister here has read to Lord Granville o
letter from Prince Gortschakoff, stating
that Russia now demands modification
or abolition of the treaty of Paris. sign
ed in 1856. which prevents Russian, or
any other war vessels, from entering the
Black Sea. This declaration on the part
of Russia being simultaneously made in
London by the Cabinets iii CONSTANT
nople, Vienna and Berlin is believed
here to indicate Russia's readiness to in
sist on the recognition of her claims by
force.
Gambetta, in dispatch to the French
representative here. says the note of
Gortschakoff, in relation to the Paris
treaty of 1856, indicates an understand
ing between Russia and Prussia, and he
expresses the opinion that England can
not remain passive in the presence of
such obvious designs.
Many persons here believe a Russian
feet will be at the Dardenelles next
week. Extraordinary activity exists in
army and navy. General European COM
plication seems imminent. A promi-
nent banker has been arrested.
Little is heard from Paris now. 1t is
rumored, however, that the internal
troubles have wholly subsidized. Masses
of French troops are seen daily around
Mt. Valerien practicing evolutions on a
great scale.
A general sortie is imminent. The
losses of the Germans since the 7th
amount to ten thousand men. General
Werner is evidently moving to join
Won der Tam. The bridges on his
route are to be destroyed and the roads
INSTRUCTED in every possible manner.

ests of all this portion Of America.
Mr.. Keyes was resident of the beau
tiful village Of Ncwburg, situated in one
of the most lovely and fertile portions of
the Upper Connecticut Valley. His
farm, of five hundred acres, was upon the
opposite side Of the river, in the town of
Haverhill, n. II. The productive capac-
ity Of this valley has been celebrated
from the earliest settlement of the coun.
try, and any one who has had the pleas
ure Of going over the beautiful estate Of
our lamcnted friend could but admit that
here was abundant confirmation of the
often expressed truth that the dwcllcr in

no one, however fair his heritage.

where his great ability as manager and
systematizer was not an extensive prop
agator Of stock. His estate was worth
visiting, however, as Il model farm, on
which everything was made to count, and
nothing less than the best demanded and
obtained in each department. Waste
land was Mr. keyes' abomination. Ev-
cry field must be proftably productive,
and he seemed intuitively to strike out
the most proper means for securing that
end. As an Illustration of this passion
for making every acre tell, may men,
ton the fact that, although nearly the
whole farm consists Of rich bottom land,
there is near the entrance few acres OF
sand so light as to drift in the wind like
snow. This Mr. Reyes has had set out
to pines, which, though he knew they
would never attain any value during his
lifetime, yet utilized the ground in the
only possible y,and will no doubt DEM

when it is cold, wash the skins in it,care-
fully squeezing them between the hands
to get the dirt out Of the wool then wash
the soap out with clean cold water. Now
dissolve alum and salt, each half a pound,
with 4 little hot water, which put in
tub of cold water sufficient to cover the
skins, and let them soak in it over night,
or twelve hours then hang over a pail to
drain. When they are well drained,
spread or stretch carefully over board
to dry. When little damp, have one
ounce each of saltpetre and alum, pulver-
lied, and sprinkle the flesh side of each
skin, rubbing in well; then lay the flesh
sides together, and hang in the shade for
two or three days, turning the under skin
uppermost every day until perfectly dry.
Then scrape the flesh side with blunt
knife, to remove any remaining scraps Of
flesh, trim off projecting points, and rub
the flesh side with pumice or rotten stone
and with the hands; they will be very
white and beautiful, suitable for door
or carriage mat. They also make good

The Best Season for Transpianting
Trees.
We are often asked which is the best
season for trnnsplanting fruit trees, orna-
mental trees, eyergreens, &c. We UNI
hesitatingly reply, the Spring.
Downing, twenty-five years ago, rec
commended the Spring for the colder por-
tons o. the Union, and we are sure all
later experience confirms the business of
his conclusions and the soundness Of his
advice.
If the winter following autumn plant
ing should prove mild and favorable, the
newly transplanted trees may come
through successfully, but if the winter
should prove as we have usually in this
latitude, large portion of fall planted
trees will be Killed most likely, and we
have known instances where an entire
setting have been lost, not single tree
having survived.
We knew extensive planters Of trees
living more than one hundred miles south
of this, who have learned by experience
that fall transplanting is often disastrous
and invariably prefer to set their young
orchards in the spring.
As to evergrecns, Mr.. Hopes, in his
Book Of Evcrgrcens, page %, says: -
I'm comparison Of spring and autumn
planting, the former season has long since
been decided to be the most certain for
removing evergrcens." Whether they
should be transplanted early or late in
spring is debatcable point hut we
agree with the author Of the Forest Tree
Culturist" where he says, on page l55
Spring is the time chosen by our nurse
rymen for transplanting eyergreens, and
they usually begin as soon as the ground
has become sufficiently dry and settled to
work easily, and continue until the trees
begin to make growth Some say the
later the better; but this assertion is like
many others, it being founded unon con-
venience. And because evergreens can
be transplanted later than many other
trees, it is usually delayed, and is said to
be the best time If planted early, the
ground becomes settled about their roots,
and new fbres will be emitted by the
time they are required to absorb plant
food to assist in the growth of branches
Autumn is not safe time to plant ev-
ergreen., although, if necessary, small
trees may be taken up at that time,
heeled-in, and given 4 slight protection.
