Grandma bought some flannel, two

The Fruit Cabinet.

TIE Agricultural Department a,
Washington, D. c., cotains plaster
casts of the fruit from all different
sections of the United States, arranged
SO as to show at a glance the products
of each region and the specific changes
caused by transplantation. 1t has been
ascertained, by examination of these
specimens, that Northern apples, when
transplanted to more Southern local..
ties enlarge in size, become more juicy
and luscious, and acquire a large Der
centage of saccharine matter. As
drawback to these advantages, however,
they lose the quality of keeping over
the winter. Thus the Baldwin apple as
grown in Massachusetts, is q small
fruit, but as the tree is transferred
through Western New York, it becomes
larger and brighter in color, with an
improved taste. 1t however, cannot
be preserved till the next spring. The
Snow apple of Canada, and other varie.
ties exhibit tendency to shrivel ND
when planted south of Lake Erie. The
Russian apples, recently introduced
into the United States, it is thought,
should only be planted in the Northern
parts of this country. On the walls of
the Fruit Cabinet are hung diagrams,
showing the character and habits of the
different insects that prey upon the
fruit and fruit trees of the United
States, and IN glass cases are preserved
the native birds that feed upon these
destructive insects, which should be
protected by the kind treatment of the
fruit culturists.

EVERY SATURDAY says OF George Eliot
(Mrs. Lewes): In breadth of nature,
breadth of intelligence, and breadth Of
sympathy, she is like Goethe, though
she lacks Goethe's masculine cheerful,
ness. The despairing tone in her
novels indicates that the woman's heart
with all its feeblepess, is under her
large brain. A man, possessed of her
grand intelligence, would never have
fallen into her melancholy tone" Ii
George Elliot were only "iolly," then,
she would stand some chance of being
equal to man.

LONDON, Feb 8, 1871.
l am enabled to inform the readers of the
HERALD that the London Times of to-day, in
an editorial upon the situation in France, says
that all the information received from Paris
indicates longing for peace at any price.
AN EXTENSION OF THE ARMIsTICE DEMANDED.
The Brussels correspondent of the London
Telegram says that Odo Russell, the British
representative at Versailles, has been in
structed to sustain the demand made by NJ
Favre for an extension of the armistice Its
prolongation is expected.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ., 1871.
Queens messenger will arrive by the next
Cunard steamer at New York, due on Satur-
day, bearing the formal proposition to adjust
the fisheries question, as stated in Mondays
HERALD. General Schenck is now merely
waiting the arrival of this messenger, when
his instructions will be finished and he will at
once leave for England.
1t is expected also that Sir Edward Thorn
ton will receive by the messenger full powers
to make such representations to our govern
ment as, it is believed, will lead to an early
and satisfactory adjustment of the Alabama
question. In the settlement Of the fishery
matter, the freedom OF the fisheries is gwen
without any conditions and apparently without
consulting Canada.
1t is evident that England is prepared to
make all possible efforts to remove whatever
difficulties exist between her and the United
States. The condition of affairs in Europe is
too menacing to admit of England having
any difficulty with this country at the present
time. In fact SO overpowering has she be-
come in her expressions of regard that the
excess Of friendship embarrasses our govern
ment In the arrangement Of the fishery
question the British agents endeavored to
induce our government to make some conces-
sions, such as admitting colonial caught fish
free or at reduced duty The effort, how
ever, was a failure, as no conditions would be
listened TO.
for Canada, it was arranged that he and
General schenck would go to England in the
same vessel 1t is now supposed that Gen
eral Schenck will be able to sail in the Cunard
steamer which leaves New York next WedIes-
day.
It is understood that the President will
soon send special message to Congress on
the fishery question. In it he will set forth
the situation of the subject and the negotia-
tons that have already taken place between
this government and Great Britain. II is
stated that the President in this message will
show that Great Britain is willing to yield all
the concessions desired, and is extremely
anxious to settle the question upon terms ad-
vaDtageous to the United States

AT a reception lately given by the President

States Minister, Mr.. Bassett spoke on behalf Of
the diplomatic corps. The President replied,
saying that he felt extremely touched at the ex-

He hoped that friendly relations would con-
