The following twelve paragraphs, from
an old Horticultural publication, are
worthy of place among the most valu-
able rules that should govern a well-regu-
lated home:
l. When fruit trees occupy the ground,
nothing else should-except very short
grass.
2. Fruitfulness and growth of the tree
cannot be expected the same year.
3. There is no plum that the curculio
will not take, though any kind may
sometimes escape for one year in one
place.
4. Peach borers will not do much
damage when stiff clay is heaped up
round the tree a foot high.
5. Pear blight still puzzles the greatest
men. The best remedy known is 10 plant
two for every one that dies.
6. If you don't know how TO prune,
don't hire a man from the other side Of
the sea, who knows less than you do.
Z. Don't cut off big lower limb, unless
you are a renter and don't careNghat be-
comes of it when your time is out.
8. A tree with the limbs coming out
near the ground is worth two trees trim
med up five feet, and is worth four trees
trimmed up ten feet, and so on until they
are not worth anything.
8. Trim down, not up.
10. Shorten in, not lengthen up.
IL. If you had your arm cut off, you
would feel it at your heart; a tree will not
feel, but rot 10 the heart.
u. When anybody tells you of
gardener that understands all about
horticulture and agriculture, and that
can be hired, don't believe word of il,
for there are no such TO be hired. Such
a man can make more elan you can afford
to give him, and if he has sense enough
TO understand the business, he will also
have enough TO know it.

repairing locks, fuel and gas and even sta

with this fund.
The only apology we can find for MS lib

MOBILE & y. w. r. r. !
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
JACKSON, Miss, May 2, 1872. }
My Dear Sir-A proposition has been
definitely made in writing by Mr.. f.
Richardson and definitely accepted by
the Company, with one condition to build
the road from here to Yazoo City COM
plete before May LIST, 1873. The con-
dition is simply, that on the route in
Guiding this city and yours, there shall
be raised clear clean cashp to be paid
during the year, S150,000 By formal
resolution the Board has accepted and
made the contract, provided this amount
is raised, and accepted by Richardson,
for that full amount IN pay for work.
If this is not done it is no contract, and
the route ,cW probably be abandoned, mainly
because the time is now so short before
the contract with your county, according
to your Interpretation, expires. If the
amount is raised, Richardson aoiU com
u1eace lUOrk IN ten days at both ends, and
you know he will finish it beyond doubt.
This is precisely the situation. jackson
and country TO Big Black are good for
$75, 900 sure. Will you raise $40, 900,
certain, sure cash, and do it at once.
If you can't why, let matters drop. If
you can, let it be done now Raise part
by subscription, part by tax to be paid
installments as proposed. You can ar
range to carry it l am sure.
Your people should be done with rail
road decisions. If they mean anything
if they mean business-now, now, is the
chance, square, positive, certain. Let
them like men, put their hands in their
pockets, take part of the stock and get
this road complete in one year, it can't
be done any other way. We demand
nothing; we simply state the situation
They must avail themselves of it or the
thing is up. We can't build the road
alone on your bonds and hence unless
You carbon with us to the amount of at
least S75, 900 clear cash, fear the thing
is at an end. say rs, 900 that is presum-
ing on as much here, which L think is sure
The very best could get the Board at
Mobile down to was $4,000, sure at
both places. The matter must be de-
cided at once, as Richardson will put his
forces elsewhere unless this is closed.
Respectfully.

The National Executive Committee,
as the public have been advised, has
called Convention OF the Democratic
party-and invited ''the cooperation of
''all conservative citizens who desire the
restoration of constitutional govern
"ment"-On the 9th of July. Circum
stances are widely different now from
those which existed when the Committee
was appointed in 1868, and there was
strong sentiment expressed 10 the Com
mittee that no Convention should be
called at all and that each member of
the party should be left to choose for
himself between Greeley and Grant
the former on the liberal, just and con-
stitutional policy declared in the Cincin-
natl platform and the other on his record
of corruption, extravaganza, usurpation
and inhumanity to the carpet-bagged
SOuth-but that body properly, We think,
decided that it had no discretion in the
matter inasmuch as it was organized for
the express object of calling a Conven-
ton.
If the friends Of honest, economical
and constitutional government-ande s-
pecially if the opposers of the military
domination of the South by federal pew
er to prolong the regime of plundering
acknowledgements that the contest
should be made as it now stands, and
are not in favor of dividing the opposi-
ton to the Grant Administration,
by nominating another ticket, it is
their. duty to carry out this policy by
declaring it in their county and State
Conventions andin the choice of delegates
to the National Convention We shall
of course expect to abide the decision of
fairly constituted tribunal of our party,
provided it does not conflict with the
higher law Of conscience, and of duty to
the oppressed Southern communities
but that decision should be the echo of
the people themselves and not the decree
of trading and selfish politicians who
sometimes place their own schemes of
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT above the public
welfare.
