JUDICIAL CANDIDATES.

1t now appears as if the Democrats
would not bring forward candidate
for the vacancy in the bench of the
Supreme Court, occasioned by the death
of Judge Paine. Judge Orion has
declined, and we hear of no move on
any other direction. Meanwhile, the
Republican members of the Legislature
have met in caucus, aud passed the fol
lowing resolutions:
WHEREAs, An election is to be held
on the first Tuesday of April next, to
elect an Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court for the full term of six
years; and,
WHEREAS, In the opinion of the
Republican State Central Committee,
it is not deemed advisable or necessary
to call convention to nominate can
didate, in view of the course which has
generally been pursued by the Repub-
Leans of this State in selecting candi-
dates for Judges of tee Supreme Court
without the interposition of nomina-
ting convention, but through the recon-
mendation of the Republican members
of the Legislature in session at the
Capitol; and,
WHEREAS, His Excellency, the Gov
ernor, has appointed Hon. VIM. Penn
Lyon, of Racine, to serve out the un-
expired term of the late Judge Byron
Paine, therefore
Resolvea, That we recognize the ap-
pointment Of Judge Lyon as one emf
nently fit to be made. That ia his
election to the bench of the Supreme
Court for the full term, the people of
this State will secure the services of an
honest man, aud an able lawyer, an ex,
perienced jurist and an incorruptible
judge, whose ability is unquestioned,
and whose integrity is above reproaeh
"a fit successor to the lam ented Paine
"a worthy associate Of the two judges
who have SO long, SO able and so well
constituted majority Of the Court, and
contributed to make it fully equal to
any court Of the last resort in the sew
eral States Of the Union. To the in
tclligent voters of Wisconsin, for Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court,
we recommend the election of William
Penn Lyon.

THE DEATH OF ALICE CARY.

The announcement of the death of
Alice Cary will be read everywhere with
regret. This gifted woman was a ma
tive of Ohio, but came with her young
ersister PL@be, many years ago to this
city where the two have ever since had
their abode. Their first appearance in
authorship was made conformity in a
book Of poems, which was we'll received,
and was followed by series of prose
sketches by Alice entitled The Clover
nook Papers" which established for her
an individual reputation. Since that
time her contributions to current litera
ture have been frequent and various =
Novels, sketches, poems and essays have
attested the versatility Of her genius
and the hold she had upoL public ia
vor All that she wrote was graceful
and pure, and it might be said of her
with strict regard to truth, in the hack
neyed line of Lord Littleton, that she
left behind her
'sNs line which, dying, she might wish to blot.~
For many years the two sisters have
been the center of literary Gree
which gathered informally at their Sun
day evening tea parties, where the
books and topics of the day were
pleasantly discussed. Alice Cary's
health had long been falling, and the
last summer was spent by her in Yer
mont in the hope that she might regain
her strength, but at the beginning of
the winter it became apparent to her
friends that she could not long survive.
She bore her long and painful illness
with perfect submission Miss Cary
died in the fftieth year of her age.

san DoNINGo-The eyes Of the
country are now eagerly watching for
the developments likely to be made by
the San Domingo Commissioners, who
are now busily engaged in their work
on the Island. They are making
general visitation of the country, and
learning the wishes and feelings Of the
people on the question of annexation
70 the United States. The greater
part of the inhabitants are favorable TO
annexation. but the Commissioners are
not without finding some symptoms of
opposit ion. The accounts heretofore
given of the immense agricultural re-
sources of the Island have not been over
estimated Tue coffee, sugar and to-
6acco interests, are capable Of enor-
IN Gus developments. The mineral re-
sources OF San Domingo are not so
good as was supposed, but still many
valuable mines are in the hands of
private parties The Commission will
probably remain Gu the Island until
the middle of April.

Chinese Story.

Some years ago, when the Tai ping
rebels were devastating the most fruit
full provinces of China, novel plan
was invented for discovering the money
and other treasures concealed by the
terrified merchants and people on the
first warning of the approach of tie
rebels. Some ingenious Tapping
thought within himself that, as men
are all devout worshippers of gold and
silver, something composed from man
would, in all probability, be more
efficacious than any thing else in dis
covering hidden treasure, without put
ting men to the pains of pulling down
each separate brick of any suspected
place, to get at the coveted hoard. He
therefore seized the first prisoner he
could lay hands on, and quietly pro-
decided to ocut him up and put him IN a
large caldron, wherein he was allowed
to simmer until sufficient coating of
oil had collected on the surface; this
was carefully skinned off, and then n
roll of cloth was spread out and soaked
in human oil, and afterwards it was
tightly rolled up and converted into q

camp, aud became SO notorious that,
on an imperial officer-in whose suite
was my informant-taking one of the
rebels prisoner, he questioned him as
to the truth of the report, remarking,
at the same time, that he could not
possibly believe it. The prisoner de-
clared that such was their method OF
discovering hidden treasure Where

prisoner presisted on vouchinf for the
truth of the report, he would do him

Last winter [ procured two barrels Of
bone. intending to use it for Irish pota-
toes and other garden crops My wife
appropriated SOME Of it for her roses in
the flower garden, by simply strewing
it on the surface of the ground around
the bushes. The fowls have free access
to the garden and were discovered eat
ing the meal very eagerly. Thinking
that it might be of service to them, we
gave them some for several weeks, and |
assure you that it was but short time
before the eggs began to come in such
numbers as we had never known before.
If nest was broken up to prevent
hen from setting, it was but few
days before she was laying again, and
thus it continued to the present time.
One hen has taken possession of bar
rel that has some bone meal in it, and
is laying in the meal. Whether she
will lay the barrel full or not, time will
show. My wife thinks that care and
bone meal are great institutions for her
poultry yard, and very extraordinary in
their effect; but as the hen does an un-
usual amount of cackling. she fears it
may bring on bronchitis. The manur-
ing of hens to make them lay, we think
is original, but we have no idea of tax
ing out patent for it, and hence leave
the discovery open to the use of all who
may choose to try it-Erch0nge.

Saving Trees Girdled by Mice.

The best method of saving trees which
have been girdled by mice is to graft
scions under the bark. thus forming a
the sap over The scions should be in
serted under the bark at least an inch
at each end, and of course must not be
less than two inches longer than the
wound Choose good, stout, thrifty
shoots for scions, secure them before
they start and insert without delay as
soon as the bark Will separate from the
wood, pairing off the end of the scion
on one side.
It has been recommended, in order
to save bending the scion, which in the
attempt to spring hack will be apt to
displace itself, to split in two for the
whole length, placing the split side
next to the tree; but a much better
way, though little more trouble, is
to take a gouge and cut, in that part
Of the wood which has been barred by
the gnawing of the mice, groove to
receive the inner part of the scion. In
this way it can be kept straight without
splitting, and there will be no less
evaporation from the split surface.
The gratis must be tied in carefully,
and the ends covered with wax, to ex-
clude the air; but we have found the
best way to be to cover the whole of
the gratis with grating clay, and bind
a cloth on the outside
If, as sometimes happens, the bark
is gnawed away so close to the ground
that it is difficult or impossible to insert
gratis at the bottom, thrifty young
seedlings may be set around the tree as
near as possible, and the tops grated
in above the girded place. Ii there is
a strip of bark left, however narrow, do
not fail to cherish it with the utmost
care; it will be worth more than any
scion you can put In.
