Josh Billings,

Henry w. Shaw, better known as
"Josh Billings" is thus sketched by the
Evansville Journal: "Josh is large
framed man, and about six feet high,
very dark complexion, with long, dark
hair, and long, dark, heavy mustache ;
both gray mixed. His eyes are deep set
and mounted with heavy brows, and at
q distance, they look as if framed in a
dark nodded frame. His features are
strongly marked, his hair is parted in the
middle, If parted all. and is worn very
long. and hung behind the ear like a
school girl. and his whole appearance is
very striking. His dress is straight
black; the only white apparent is his
collar, and, until he begins to talk, no
one would see Josh Billings in the tall,
seriouslooking H. w. Shaw"

Directions for Planting Fruit Trees.

Do not fail to secure n thorough pre-
partition of the soil previous to planting.
When a summer crop has been cultivated
and the ground kept clean, but little else
will need to be done, unless it requires
subsoiling to break the hardness of the
earth below the surface soil. Plant the
trees as near the depth they stood before
as possible, covering the roots in their
natural position with good rich soil from
the surface or elsewhere. Manure is best
applied to the surface and gradually
worked in afterwards. Trees whileyoung
require thorough and clean cultivation to
secure a healthy and vigorous growth.
No crop should be grown but such as re-
quires the same cultivation, and when
this is done, sufficient manure must be
used to prevent the crop from exhausting
the nourishment so necessary to the trees.

A City of Women.


Mrs. LeonoWens, in her lecture
on Siam, tells the following: "The
central part of the capital city of
Bangkok, in Siam, is devoted ex-
elusively to the residence of some
nine thousand women, among
whom no man but the King may
enter. The inhabitants of this
inner city are the thousand women
of the sroyal harem, and some
eight thousand more, who are
soldiers, artificers and slaves. This
little world is ruled by women as
magistrates, who administer the
laws of the kingdom. There is no
appeal from their decisions. Pris-
Oners are arrested by sherifs of
their own sex. If it is necessary
to chain them, it is done by their
own sex. If a disturbance arises,
it is suppressed by force of five
hundren AmaZOns, trained from
infancy to the use of sword and
spear. Meanwhile the slave WO-
men carry on a variety of manu-
features, or go outside the walls to
till the fields. The women Of
higher birth are sealed to the
King; the slave women may mar
~, but their husbands dwell out
side the walls. The children, if
boys, are banished from the city
Of women at six years old, only
the girls remain. All the Oriental
distinctions of rank are scrupu-
lousy observed within this
strange realm, except that the
magistrates are chosen for personal
character and wisdom" Mrs. Lee
OnOwens speaks with great rever-
ence of the woman who was Chief
Justice when she lived in Bang
kOk, and tells some remarkable
anecdotes of the courage with
which she enforced justice against
offenders far superior to herself in
social rank.

What We Need.

found a school in which boys shall
be taught mechanical trades. If
this statement is true, Mr.. Kelly
is the wisest and best almoner of
his generation. 1t is impossible
to conceive of an institution pro-
ductive of more private and pub
lie good than the one here named,
or one that more Iaptly supplies
a pressing social want. There is
a need of academies for the prac-
teal arts, as there is DO equal need
in any other department of life.
Largely our youths are growing
Up useless; no adequate practice
for education in the productive
arts is furnished by satisfactory
apprenticeship system, and even
when employers are willing to
give places to learners they are
DISTRACTED by the monopoliZing
rules of trades unions, which
heartlessly deprive the men of
future years of the opportunities
for exercising their best faculties
in the earning of a livelihood Be
side its material utilities, such a
school comes up to the intellectual
phases Of the time. We have
about done with old ideas of learn
ing-that is, learning which con-
sists Of curious requirements and
not knowledge. We learn things,
not words. Scholarship does not
now consist of pathological details
and rhetorical nIcetleS, but OF

The True Policy.

We reproduce the subiOned editorial
from the Louisville COHriesJOlT7lul:
A newspaper reporter of an investigating
turn of mind interviewed August Belmont,
chairman of the National Democratic Com
mittee last Saturday with reference to the
platform and nominees of the Cincinnati
convention. Mr.. Belmont, according to the
telegraphic account, expressed himself in
the main with the prudence and good sense
we had right to expect of him. The sub
stance of what he said was that he felt
willing to do almost anything to prevent
the continuance of the existing regime, and
that though, after seeing the effect of what
has been done on the press and the people,
the Democracy may become convinced that
the adoption of the ticket is the best thing
they can do, yet that for the present it is
the true policy to wait and watch. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Belmont also expressed the
opinion that the Liberal ticket will be with
drawn in September if the Democrats
make a good nomination. In this, if he
really said anything of the kind, we can
not say we agree with him, as the Liberals
seem to have burned their ships before en-
tePing on the present campaign. Should it
turn out that we are mistaken, we greatly
fear that Grant would be more benefited
than the Democratic candidate by with
drawal.
The executive committee, of which Mr..
Belmont is chairman, is TO meet tomorrow
in New York, when a call will, no doubt,
be issued for the assembling of national
convention to mark out a line Of action. In
the meantime, Mr.. BelmOnt's advice to wait
and watch is the best that could be given.
While thus waiting and watching, how
ever, the Democracy should take care not
to allow their eyes to be deceived by de-
ceptive appearances, and their Judgment
warped by illusory hopes and sophistical
reasoning. 1t is a great deal better for
Democrats to look at matters just as they
are, so that when the time arrives they may
act understandingly, than to allow them
selves to be betrayed into irretrievable
error.
We have no fears, however, Of any fatal
mistake being made Democrats, all at
IeasU VINO are worthy of the name, recOg-
nlzl1g the vital importance of getting rid
Oh Trants administration and effecting a
retorm IN the management Of national
aHairs' IN Whatever they do viii make that
q sue qua non. They understand very we'll
lna5 neither the party nor the country can
afford to run the risk of four more wears of
sucl rule as we are now cursed with. We
VIII not, OF course, undertake to foreUeU
what the convention will do. but we have
Ialth that Its action will be that which
looks most surely to Grants defeat. Nor
shall we be surprised if those who now show
a little temper because Greeley and Rrovyn
instead Of some other ticket were norni
mated at Cincinnati, viii by that time take
the position that the nomination of a Dem
ocratic ticket would insure Grants re-eIec-
ton by uniting and consolidating the Re- /
publican party. Time viii show.
