He CoULDNr Tell A LIE. Mr..
Alf Burnett, in one of his letters to
"The People" of indianapolis, relates
the following anecdote;
BY the by, good story is told OF
Ben. Butler and his notorious honesty.
A short time sincc, Ben. Butler and
Wendell Phillips hal business with
tlse President, aud arm'in-arm, pro-
ceeded to~esall upon his. Tho presi-
dent was busy, and sent word that he
would see them presently. Phillips
ard Butler strolled out into the conser-
vatory, IN the rear of the White House,
thence into the garden Butler and
Phillips were engaged in an animated
conversation upon some topic. Butler
became slightly excited.
A large hatchet, belonging to the
gardener, was beside tree; Butler
casually picked it up, and, while talk
ing, he made several deep gashes with
it into some of Gen. Grants favorite
trees, Just at this juncture, the Pres
ident appearing, Butler hastily secrcted
it under his coat tail.
After the compliments Of the day,
the President spied for the first time
his mutilated tree, and, with tones OF
vehemence, inquired who had been
cutting and gashing that tree? After
a few moments pause, Butler stepped
bravely up to the President, aud took
him by the hand, saying: Mr.. President,
cannot tell lie cannot tell lie

TIE DANGERS OF SNUFF-TAKING-In
one of our hospital reports will be found,
the Lancet states, q startling instance Of
the poisonous effects of lcal being pro
duced by the use of contaminated snuff
The victim, who was resident in India,
was In the habit Of taking best brown

to the trouble and expense Of coming to
England in search Of further advice, his
suffering was traced to the real source. To

were ordered from Calcutta, and sample
from each was found to contain an inti-
mate union with considerable quantity
of lead. Rappee appears TO bo rather

and where II adhered TO tho sidos of the

Best Soil for Currants.


We have never had good success with
currOnts on light sandy soil. Although
well cultivated and well manfred they
Dovef grew vigorously, bushes were small
and fruit thin and ofimperfect size. Attic
end of two years we dug them up and
throw them away. We believe that in
snch soils, as fruit for family gardens,
thoy can only be grown satisfactorily In
the following places; i.at ,aai f.
Either close to tho north side OF high
garden fences.
In orchards or under the branches of
fruit trees which oyerhang the garden. or
by m"lchiaa, -
In such warm light eolls the plants must
have moisture, and this must come either
from deep mulchng or cool shade. The
mulching may be ofilcacious for time, but
we believe the benefits would not be very
lasting. The true soil for currants is a
well drained clay soil, or clay and loan
mixed. In this no mulch will be needed,
and ordinary cultivation Is amply sufficient.
The finest currants we have ever seen
were grown in the partial shade of apple
and pear orchards, and the owners have
never been affected with mildew or the
currant worm. Coolness, shade, or mulch.
ing are indispensable to insure success in
crrant growing.
