anguish temporarily concealed break forth
again with redoubled ardor. Many remedies
merely do this, and, after repeated trials, fail
to satisfy the conditions upon which only
can they be useful to humanity. Such medi-
cines have a brief popularity, and are retired
as unworthy of public approval. There are
others which time tries but to enhance their

it is an orchard that is intended, have it ;
if feld with a feo trees in it, all well;
but maintain the distinctions.
We have observed for fifteen years some
orchards planted forty five feet apart, and
find the trees suffer more from insects,
climate, etc, than those planted fifteen
feet apart Plant the trees so that while
they are young they will protect each
other, and bear enough to pay for them
selves with interest; then thin out from
time to time as is found needed. Some
few varieties, rs the Northern Spy, will
grow SO large as to crowd the ground be-
fore coming in, but this is an exceptional
case, and can be easily avoided. To illus
trate the manner of planting and thinning
out more plainly, we refer to the diagram

When the trees become too crowded
those in the figure I places are cut out;
when too close again, figure 2 is removed,
and thus the trees marked figure 3 are to
form the permanent orchard.
We have planted most of the popular
fruits fifteen by fifteen feet apart, having
apple or standard pear trees as the perma-
nent trees. In the case of cherry, plum,
crab, apricot, etc, they stand so well at
fifteen feet that we will plant again in the
same manner There is in this method
something in the form and mode of growth
of the tree, but take it all in all we risk

JOHNSON AND GRANT.
Retailing ISLANDERS ON the PresI,

Retailing ISLANDERS ON the President.
The Greeley local leaders who managed
the late county election so disastrously
were not more successful in engineering
the Johnson meeting yesterday. That an
ex-President of the United States, after
three days notice in such city as Knox
vile, should have but 26S persons, all told
by actual count, to hear him in such an
emergency as this, does not reflect much
credit upon the energy or tactof the local
leaders.
In his speech Mr.. Johnson retailed
some old charges about Grants taking
gifts. They were of the character found
i'm the Greeley organs everywhere. While
on this subject we may say that while the
stump.speakers and rural editors are charg-
ing Grant with receiving gifts since he be-
came President the New York World is
retracting the charge. Upon the statements
in the following communication sent to
the World in whose author that paper says
it has the greatest confidence, its editor re-
tracts its charges: That correspondent
quotes from the World this extract and
says:
For the purchase Of the Presidents cot
tage at Long Branch, presented to him at
ter he became President, there were eight
subscribers. This is the direct personal
statement of Alexander T. Stewart, who
said significantly that che knew of one
gentleman who was invited to become a
subscriber to that fund.-
"Neither Mr.. Alexander T. Stewart nor
any other living man subscribed and paid
any sum of money whatever towards
the Presidents g cottage sat Long
Branch Mr.. A. II. Stewart never
stated that he had made such subscription,
He said he knew of one gentleman who
had been invited to become subscriber to
fund for the purchase of a cottage for the
President, but he never did and never will
say flor Mr., Stewart is a truthful MANI
that any such fund was actually raised, or
that the President had any knowledge of
or completely with the intended donation.
'The President will be rankly abused
until the Presidential election is over, un-
less meantime he should die, and then the
country would be searched in vain for
marble white enough to commemorate his
virtues. But his friends claim the right, |
when forged letters and erroneous personal
statements are employed against him, to
expose the weapons of attack so that the
assailants of his character may not sin |
without knowledge"
