TIME PoR BURNING,

is from the first of October to the first
Of March. Later beds sometimes do well
but are very uncertain. We think burn
ing in the fall is preferable, because the
, ground is usually dry at that season of the
wear, and therefore, can be burned at a
great deal less expense and labor. The
ashes also have time to rot, and the win
ter freezes thoroughly pulyerize the land,
and enable it to retain moisture much
better, and in consequence, the plants are
more vigorous, and have better roots,
when the season arrives for tTansplanting.
To these advantages may be added
the risk of deferriny the burning until
January or February, when the chances
are decidedly AGAINST finding the land in
order. WI burned in fall, the beds are

French engineer, M. f. Legout, has written a
letter TO the Steele In which he says that as the
problem OF cutting through high mountains has now

being made from Paris TO Pekin. He estimates that
tae cost Of the great tunnels would be only 22O 600

these fruits of peace and joy

rTUALIsM AS AN ANTTDoTE FOR

sent the following answer to
an invitation:
"Sir,-1 regret that I am
unable TO accept the invitation
of the Council of the Dialecti-
cal Society to cooperate with
a committee for the investiga-
tion of "spirftualism;" and for
two reasons. In the first place,
| have no time for such an IN
quiry, which would involve
much trouble and {upless it
were unlike all inquiries of
that kind l have known) much
annoyance. In the second
place, 1 take no interest in the
subject. The only case of
"spiritualism" / have had the
opportunity of examining into
for myself was a gross an i'm
posture as ever came under
my notice. But supposing the
phenomena to be genuine,
they do not interest me. If
anybody would endow me with
the faculty of listening to the
chatter of old women and Gu
rates in the nearest cathedral
town / should decline the privi-
lege, having better things to
do. And if the folks in the
spiritual world do not talk
more wisely and sensibly than
their friends report them to do,
l put them in the same cate
CORY. The only good that L
can see in a demonstration of
the truth of "spirituslism" is
20 furnish an additional argu-
ment against suicide. Better

and be made to talk twaddle
by a medium hired at a guinea

The Difficulties and Dangers
of Publishing.

Editor of RoweITs American Newspaper
Reporter.


enterprise, their success and
their failures, would make a
large volume,-especially the
failures. Hardly a day passes
but We hear of some periodi-
cal venture, started with every
hope Of a fortunate result, and
blessed with capital and talent
yet obliged to succumb to in
exorable misfortune, and sub
NIT at last to be sold under
the unsympathetic hammer of
the auctioneer.
There is a deep-seated and
singular infatuation on the
part of many Americans, that
they were expressly designed
by a wise Providence to en-
ter the field of journalism. No
matter how signal has been
their failure in those walks of
business which require but a
tenth part of the experience of
a successful publisher, they
seem determined to distinguish
themselves by still more dis
astrous failure. Even igno-
rant men as well as those of
genius and culture, hope to
mend their failing fortunes by
entering a business which re-
quires so much more knowl-
edge, enterprise, energy and
experience, than any other.
Some of them even after fail
ure in publishing, 60 among
their friends and give some
plausible excuse for having
gone under. "If so and so had
not been the case," they ex-
claim, "my periodical would
have been to-day the brightest
ornament the literary world
ever saw" ETC., etc. 1t is sci.
dom, however, that they find q
capitalist willing to start them
up again. They are wise old
fellows,-the capitalists. MOI
one of the class was evel
known to invest a second time
in a publishing enterprise i
the first one failed. "
There are two other classe!
who often fail in the publish
ing of periodical literature
One is the business man o
real talent, but no particula
experience in the business. I'll,
has seen the success of anothe
and of course, entirely differen
man, and has consequent,
plunged into it for himself
and sunk $4,000 or S50,00l
before he knew what was th,
matter. The other class re
ferred to, is the man who ap
parently understands the busi
) ness and has had some eXpe
rience in it, but who canno
accommodate himself to tn
peculiarities of a new audienc
in entirely diffelent circum
stances from those he har
!, previously known.
