ROME.

RoMK, August Sl.-The Papal Guards have
in a body paid their homage to the Holy
Father. The Pope received them in solemn
audience, surrounded by all the prelates and
dignitsries of his household. The comman-
der of the Guards came forward and on his
knees assured the Holy Father of the loyalty
and devotion of the men and officers, declar-
ing that the Guards were ready to sacrifice
their lives in the service of the Papacy. The
Pope in reply expressed the hope that he
would yet live to see the Papacy restored to
its former glory. He said: " cannot name
the day of our deliverance, but the time is
not remote when we shall issue together from
our prison.

The Radical Governor Davis of Texas
has issued a singular election circular.
The State police appointed by him are
to have charge of the polling places;
and he says no person shall be allowed
to remain about them during the voting,
and that all meetings held on that day
are prohibited. The Galveston Bulletin
denounces this plan as intended to keep
away all canvassers and challengers,
and concludes; Documents similar to
the official circular might be expected
in autocratic Russia or the FIJI Islands,
but in free republic, as the United
States is presumed to be, we never
expected to see it.

The World introduces an article with
this paragraph: A pluvious pageant is
unsatisfactory. The mind refuses to ac-
cept a wet woman with bedraggled skirts
as the incarnation of nations hope, or
a soaked banner as the CLEAN of poll

act in public as an emblem is always,
unless fred by unusual enthusiasm or
spirituous liquor, dimly conscious of an
absurdity in his or her position. To de-
velop this consciousness into a convic-
ton nothing is more potent than logged
down-pour of rain which peels the tin
sci from the pasteboard crown, and makes
tights cling MOSTLY to the form.

Experiences la straw berry Culture.

A subscriber sends to Home, Farm
and Orchard bis plan of raising and cul.
tivating strawberries, aud the results thus
far. He says;
In the spring of 1868, about the first
of May, | set one acre of strawberries
forty rows of Wilson, and thirty of
Agriculturist; rows three feet apart +,
eighteen inches in the row. The plants
all lived; did not lose one 10 thousand.
AS soon as the blossoms appeared, they
were all clipped of except two rows,
which were left for experiment. The
plants in these two rows nearly all died
before fall, and the survivors were not
more than half the sizo of those from
which the blossoms were cut. The run
ners were watched and kept cut. and the
plants grew very large, SO that the leaves
touched each other from the different
hills. The cultivation WAS mostly done
with a corn cutiYator, with the occasion~
al use of half mold board plow. and
the hand hoe around the Hill. No weeds
were allowed to 60 to seed; in fact, as
soon as a weed could be seen, tho cult
vator was started. THIS consider the
secret of success. A bout the first of
December, the field was covered with
buckwheat straw. The next spring the
straw was parted over each plant, and
allowed TO remain until after picking,
when it was removed, aud the ground
was cultivated again. The quantity of
berries picked was about five thousand
quarts-sold at an average of fifteen
cents quart. If the patch bad been
all Wilson, there would have been at
least thousand quatrs moro.
In the spring of 1869, about the goth
of August, | set an additional half acre
of strawberries, mostly Wilson's, in rows
three feet apart, and plants one feet in tue
row. All lived and grew well for a
month or two, when the grubs began to
destroy them. AS soon as this was dis
covered, boys were sent into the patch
every few days with garden trowels, to
dig up every plant affected, and kill the
worms, With the next damp weather,
other plants were set to fill tho rows
Cultivation same as the last year, except
the runners were not trimmed quite as
closely; and the earth was drawn more
to the plants, occasioned by the plants
being too close in the row, not being con-
venient to pass the hoe between to level
down.
The plants were covered with straw
in December, same rs last year. In the
spring, about The first of May, the straw
was removed, the patch cultivated and
straw replaced around the plants. This
was labor lost, as the patch did not yield
as well as the old one, which was not
disturbed. The two patches, containing
one and one-Lalf acres. yielded, this
year 6,7oo quarts; sold at an average o.
fifteen cents per quart.
From my experience, l feel confdent
that 1000 quarts may be raised on al
acre of ground, although half that guam
tity is more than the average crop.
consider hill culture decidedly the best
producing as much fruit, and better quail
