punches Of three or four grow together a
part Of them will be of the fall and a part of
the winter variety. The tree Is a young,
grated tree, and this Is its second year OF
bearing. II IL filled with apples, mixed up

IRA ADAMS.
West Marlboro, ", Aug. %, 1872.
REMARKs.-Your statement Is a new and
strange one. We have heard of apples
which were sweet on one side and sour on
the other. 1t has been asserted that such
fruit may be produced by uniting one half
of a scion or bud from a sweet tree, with
another half from a sour tree, and grating
the whole into a stock. But we have never
seen the thing done, and have no faith in
the possibility Of success. Still ii Is not for
us TO limit the achievements of skill and
science. In every department they are
producing wonders. BY grating different
branches of the various limb with two
kinds of apples, a result somewhat similar
10 that you describe might be effected but
we can give nc explanation OF tire fact OF
different lruit growing n 1.-THE same "buneh."
N. Il. Farmer.
We don't lay claim to any great amount
of scientific knowledge, yet possibly we
may be able TO throw a little light upon the
singular phenomenon above referred to.
We received from Mr.. Adams, some weeks
ago, an excellent specimen of this wonder
ful fruit. On one small branch grew two
apples of strikingly diverse appearance F;
the one a Sopsavine or apple of similar
quality, quito red and fit TO eat the other
perfectly green In color, hard, and appar-
emily unripe. We were at first inclined to
regard the thing as a sort of political omen,
indicative OF the success of the 'reconcilia-
ton and reform coalition, a fore-runner of
the time when the lion and the lamb shall
lie down together. But with a disregard
OF the rights and duties Of rye true
and faithful reporter" for which we here
render due apology, we permitted the OPP
portunity for a sensational paragraph 10
slip away, and on taking a second look at
the ill-maled twain, a few days after. what
was our surprise to find that the green ap.
pie had begun to mellow and assume the
color of its %neighbori Blu a short time
elapsed before it was made apparent by the
best of tests that the w apples were o.
precisely the same kind. Whether thii
collapse of the reconciliation and reform
theory had anything to do with the recen
State election, or is any way indicative o
the result in November, we leave for wise
ones TO decide.
n. B.-Mr. Adams, evidently, has beef
a little hasty in announcing his "curi
osity," or else sent us a wrong specimen
Let him examine the fruit again.

The Geneva court of arbitration held its
final session at noon, Saturday, about a
score of ladies and journalists being pres
ent. Count SciOpis read the opinions of the
several arbitrators, Sir Alexander Cock
burn non-concurring, awarding SIS, OOO, 900
TO the United States, payable in gold with
in one year at Washington. The English
arbitrator is SAID TO have rendered a separ-
ate judgment, giving damages only in the
case of the Alabama, which covers nearly
all the amount awarded by the whole board.
Damages were granted in case of the She
nandoah, by three against two. All the
other cases presented by the American
government were dismissed by the court,
In spite of the no%n-concurrence of the
British arbitrator, and of the efforts of on
position journals in this country to belittle
the results of this decision, there is little
doubt that it will prove acceptable to both
English and American governments, and
furnish astandard of exact principles which
will henceforth govern the conduct of both
nations in their intercourse with each 9th.

Mr.. and Mrs. l.. j. Boynton of this
place noticed the tenth anniversary of their
marriage on the 18th inst, their %neighbor'
receiving an invitation to meet with them
on that OCCASION. In addition to the socla
and religious exercises and the passing o
the cake, the following original hymn wa'
sung:
Ten years Of welded life have passed,
with scenes long gone before,
with joys tina fee and joys that last
On this I, ~rrestriAl shore.
May all the blessings and the bliss
On them by God beJtowed
Combine to make them truly 1--we,
Waking the heavenly road.
with brightaing hopes and love to God,
May years on years still roll,
They, in the paths the patriarchs trod,
Gain rapture to the soul.
And when each duty is performed,
And every work well done,
May they. in Christ tmuge formed,
race Of glory run.

NEW MOTIVE POWER o EWING MA
oHINEs.-A new power machine is now be-
ing manufactured which II Is stated is ex-
ceedingly useful for driving sewing ma
.chines and other light machinery. This
machine consists Of two shafts, with four
steel springs coiled upon each, aud a coun-
ter shaft with ~cog-wheel so arranged as TO
permit the application of the whole or part
of the power. The winding shaft has a
groove 10 receive a slide, which catches one
spring at a time in winding. About ten
seconds are required to wind each spring,
and the combinsd power will run the ma
chine at full speed for an hour and a quar-
ter. A very light pressure upon the foot
rest stops the machlne--the removal Of the
foot starts II instantly aud the turning OF
a screw at the operators right hand regu-
lates the speed, which will run a machine
at the rate of from sixty TO twenty-five hun
dred stitches per minute.

PERE HYACINTHE AND HIS WIFE
Charles Loyson Hyaclnthe was born at
Orleans, France, in 1896 was educated at
the University Of Pau ordained a Roman
Catholic priest in 1858 became Il. member
of the Carmeute Fr.ars at Lyons and con-
tinued in connection with 1t, until Septem-
Der, 1869, when he formally lef. it. His
%eloquence as u preacher drew crowds of
hearers around him, ut Lyons and Bor-
deaux, and he still continues his work in
despite of the ''prohibition,' issued by his
ecclesiastical superiors against hiT. In
October 1869, he visited this country, and
his friends here will be glad 10 learn that
he has practically repudiated the doctrine
of the 'celibacy Of the clergy y and withal,
they will be content that he is united with
an American widow. His wife, Mrs. Emf
ly Jane Merriman, Is the daughter of
Amory Butterield, formerly of West
Brattleboro, and niece of Mrs. Benson
Jones of that village. Under her former
name of Mrs. Merriman, she is well re-
membered by many persons in New York
and Brooklyn, as n who has led a very
eventual life. She was separated from her
husband some years before his death, sold
a small house and couple of lots in Brook
lyn which he had decided to her, and went
with her daughter to travel abroad, acting
as agent for a patent corset, and endeayor-
ing to act as correspondent TO papers, In
which last she was not successful. While
on the trip she was converted TO Roman
ism. After her husbands death she re-
turned TO New York, in order TO obtain the
money for an insurance upon his life,
which he had presented to her during
their early married life, and which she had
kept paid up while abroad. While in New
York sue became re-converted to Protest
antism under the ministrations of Rev.
Joseph r.. Thompson Of the Church OF the
Tabernacle but she finally went back to
Paris, where Pere Hyacinthe converted her
back again TO Romanlsm, and was convert
cd by her 10 matrimony. The ceremony,
which united them, took place in London,
September Sd, at the Marylebone Registry
ofice,--one of tho places designated by
law, for the declaration aud enrolment OF
marriages, under the civil contract system.
Dean Stanley and Lady Stanley, his wife,
and other distinguished personages were
present. This event settles the question OF
Hyacinthe's progress toward Proteslan-
tism and plces him on the line OF march
with Martin Luther who, in 1925, did the
very human and sensible thing of taking To
himself a wife, even though no protested

One of the most wicked yet harmless
ISLANDERS Of this slanderous campaign is
the one asserting that several members of
Congress were bribed by Cakes Ames, a
director of the Credit Mobilier and of the
Union Pacific railway, to put through Con-
grcss some legislation favorable TO that cor
poration. Among the men implicated in
that charge are Senator Wilson, Mr.. Dawes,
Mr.. Boutwell,, Mr.. Eliot, and Gen. Banks
of Massachusetts, Mr.. Blaine of Maine,
Mr.. Kelley of Pennsylvania, Judge Bing-
ham OF Ohio, and several other prominent
statesment, whose character on the face
ives the lie to such a charge. Yet such
papers as the World, the Tribune and
Springfield Republican, follow it up from
day to day, and call upon these men TO
prove to the country that they not worse
than thieves and burglars and pickpockets.

The clerkship Of the new State House
of Representatives evidently lies between
the present incumbent, Mr.. Camp of New

assistant. Owing TO Mr.. Camps illness
during his first term,-when his place was
supplied by Mr.. Newell-the former can
hardly be said to nave held his seat but a
single term hence his reelection at this
time would seem no more than just. But
whichever gentleman is chosen, the House

Our next Legislature will, in many
! particulars, be the most important that
/ has assembled in Tennessee for hall
century. 1t will be called upon by
popular demand-almost universal
throughout the slate-to expunge from
our statute books the crude and often
observed laws that have crept into
them during more than fifty years of
legislation = sometimes partisan, but
oftener hasty and i'll advised.
Our judiciary and system of laws will
have to be altered and amended to meet
the demands Of the present progressive
period of our history.

discharge these high duties ! know of no

honorable, upright bearing, during a
long residence among us, won the con-
tidence and good viii OF every one who.
knows him, and is justly one of the
most popular men in Shelby county
among every class Of our citizens.
There is no man among Us who is by
natural capacity, education, habits of
thought and study, better fitted to do
honor to a seat in the State Senate than
Colonel Kerr, and for this office his
friends and the public desire him TO be-
come a candidate.
A polished gentleman in social inter
course, genial and attentive in his NAM

would soon become the leader in the
Senate. The people want TO hear from
