French Method of Raising TohatOe

As soon as a cluster of flowers are visi-
BILE, the stem is topped down to the clus-
ter, so that the flowers terminate the
stem. The effect is that the sap is i'm
mediately impelled into the two buds next
below the cluster, which soon push
strongly and produce another cluster of
flowers each. When these are visible,
the branch to which they belong is also
topped down 10 their level, and this is
done successfully. By this means, the
plants become stout dwarf bushes, not
above eighteen inches high. In order to
prevent their falling over, sticks or strings
are stretched horizontally along the rows,
so as to keep the plants erect. In add
ton to this, all the laterals that have no
flowers, and after the fifth topping, all
laterals whatsoever, are nipped off. In
this way the ripe sap is directed into the
fruit, which acquires beauty, size and
excellence unattained by other means.

Soon as the tropic ferceness Of the heated
term abates and melting mortals have a
chance to think of something else besides ice
water and fans, the theatrical managers enter
the field with the usual flourish of trumpets
and display of poster banners to announce
the opening of the fall season. Last night
two of the larger theatres flung open their
doors to the public, and others will follow in
quick succession. The prospects for the COM
ing season are very hattering, and healthier
and more artistic tone is perceptible in amuse-
ments. More pains than usual seem to have been
taken by the managers to present their various
specialties in the musical and dramatic line in
as perfect manner as possible. There is even
a classical tinge in Ethiopian drama and a
nearer approach to responsibility in burlesque.
Music will have bright representative in the
person of the Swedish nightingale, Christine
Nilsson, and the highest walks of the drama
will be illumined by the German tragSdienne,
Marie Seebach. Within two or three
weeks over score of the metropolitan
theatres will be in full operation, and
opera, COuCtrt, udSeuy, Comeuy, puTIeSque
and minstrelsy will set forth their mani
fold attractions to thousands of admirers.
Opera 6oufe will laugh, jest, sing and camc0n
once more at the Grand Opera House and at
the Olympic; the little Mjou Fifth Avenue
theatre will glow with one of its sparkling
dramas; London sensation will replace
''Fritz" at Wallacks; the sleepy Dutchman of
the Catskills and the chivalrous Lagadere will
probably hold the boards at Booths and
Niblo's until the time of the sere and yellow
leaf; Mrs. Scott-Siddons will make her bow at
Woods; and the Comique, Bryant's, San
Francisco Minstrels, Bowery and Tony Pas.
tors have portentous bills for their patrons.
We are to have three new theatres on Broad
way--the New York, Lima Edwin's and Kelly
& Leon's-and others are in contemplation.
Another event of the season will be the debut
of the distinguished tragedienne Fanny
Janauschek in English drama, for which she
has been long preparing. Our Brooklyn
neighbors will be plentifully supplied with
dramatic fare OF Mrs. Conway's Park theatre
and Hooley's Opera House. If we add to this
list the Philharmonic and other concerts, and
perhapsa season of oratorio, our readers will
feel satisfied at the quantity and quality of
amusements which will be afforded them this
season.

GENERAL GRANT has had sherifTs warrant
served upon him in st. Louis, damages laid at
three thousand dollars, because horse belong
ing to him kicked and broke the leg of another
horse that was in the same pasture with
his. Wonder what would have been
thought if similar warrant had been
served upon Queen Victoria for dam
age done by one Of her stud2 But it
is different in countries where divinity doth
hedge king"-or queen-and in ours, where
it don't make much difference what sort of a
hedge or what sort Of pasture is in question
so long as one citizens horse lanes that of
another. Here all are equal under the law,
although 1t must be confessed that some of the
Presidents staff occasionally ride very ''high
