STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

AS to planting Strawberries, abont which
we have many inquirers, there are several
ways. OF course the ground must be dug
y good depth, and pulverized carefully,
having applied liberal quantity of barn
yard manure. The beds can be marked out
three feet wide and made as long as may
be desired. Let the footpaths between the
beds be eighteen inches apart and remove
from them all the runners as fast as they
encroach. Set the plants firmly but not
too deeply in the ground, one foot apart
each way. Get the Triomphe de Grand,
which is of mixed sexes, and Hovey' Seed
ing, which is pistillate, and plant them
in alternate beds, side by side, but do not
let them commingle, which they will do if
the vines are allowed to cross the paths.
Some persons may prefer Downer's prolific
or RnSsell's Prolific, both excellent varie-
ties, or Jucunda, which does we'll in some
places. Either of these can be substituted
for Triomphe, if Hovey is retained, which
we would advise. Thus far we have cult
waited no strawberry at all equal to the
Triomphe. If a cropis wanted exclusively
for marketing choose the Albany Seeding
by all means. 1t will produce generally
greater quantity of fruit than any other
and will bring in the most money. Straw
berry beds can he planted out as early as
the ground can be got in suitable condition.
Many persons prefer the hill system of
planting out Strawberries, and with some
very strong growing varieties is probably
the best. But from our own experience
we prefer the broadcast planting. 1t has
several advantages. The plants keep the
ground moister, it requires less labor to
cultivate, and the beds last twice as long
by producing new bearing plants every
year. In the hills the old plants are fruit
ed year after year, and rs a consequence
the berries yearly get smaller.
One thing must be particularly borne in
mind: the beds must be kept clear of weeds.
Two weeks after the crop has been secured
,aoso of tie rinss, not so closely as to in uIe
the crown, and let them remain as a mulch.
Late in the autumn the beds should be
covered with straw or light manure: and
in the spring the very coarsest portion
should either he removed or carefully place
ed about the plants. When this is done,
should the plants have been disturbed by
the frost, pass ocer them q light T0ller. or
apply a5om an inch Of fine soil TO the aehole
bed.
If any top-dressing is applied, it should
be in the spring, and than there is nothing
better than a light coating of ground bones

BUTTER IN. SACKS.

The dairymen of Washington Territory,
for want of tubs and jars, have adopted a
method of putting up and keeping butter
which presents some features that are wor-
thy the attention of those having butter
packed for family use or for retail trade
The packing is thus described by the Illus
trated Journal Of Agriculture:
"All butter is packed in muslins sacks,
made in such form that the package, when
complete, is a cylinder three or four inches
in diameter and from half a foot to q foot
in length. The butter goes from the churn,
as soon as worked over, into the cylindrical
bags, made of fine bleached muslin. The
packages are then put into large casks,
containing strong brine, with slight
admixture of saltpeter, and, by means of
weights, kept always below the surface
The cloth integument always protects the
butter from any impurities that chance to
come in contact with the package; and
being always buried in brine it is protected.
from the action of the air; and it has been
ascertained by trial, that butter put up in
this way will keep sweet longer than in any
other way.
Besides, it is found easier aud cheaper
for the manufacturer than to pack either in
jars or firkins. And for the retailer there
is no telling the advantage on the score of
safety and convenience. These rolls of
butter can lie upon his counter as safe from
injury, from dust or other contact, as bars
of lead; can be rolled up for his customer
in sheet of paper with as much propriety
as bundle of matches. If the consumer,
when he gets home, discovers specks of
dust upon the outside of the sack, he can
throw it into pail of pure cold water and
take it out clean and white. AS he uses
the butter from day to day, with sharp
knife he cuts it off from the end of the
roll in slices OF thickness suited to his
want, and peels off the cloth from tho end
of the slice, leaving it in tidy form to place
upon the table.

he will have the power to direct and
control in a great measure the Presiden-
tial and other elections, and perhaps for
years TO come neutralize the efforts Of
the Democracy to manage the affairs OF
n county wherein they have a large ma
jority Of voters; and knowing this, he
has enlisted the Jealous efforts of all the
leaders of his party, which has made no
nomination, in order that he may have
the full advantage of his no-party ma
neuvering. But this, to use a cant
phrase of the day, is too thin, and viii
not hold water" A. P. Curry the no
party man, and A. P, Curry the Grant
Radical, are one and the same person,
and are rs identical in purpose as in prin-
ciple. Hemust therefore be Objectionable
to every Democrat and every Liberal
Republican, and should not receive one
vote from either. So far as principle is
concerned, then, Doyle is infinitely the
superior of Curry. As to qualifications,
there a be no question that Doyle is
more than the equal Of Curry. He has
all the irmness and courage requisite to
the enforcement Of the law, and the
business experience necessary to the
proper Performance Of the Office work
and ordinary routine Of serving notices,
and generally well everything commit
ted to him as Sheriff He has the con-
fdence of the community, which Curry
has not, and will be elected by an over
whelming majority. But while Jack
Doyle's election is sure, his friends must
continue to work as if his cause, which
is that of the county of Shelby, was en-

A. p. CURRY AND THE NEGROES.

In 1865 and in 1870, Colonel A. P.
Curry was the Radical candidate for
Sheriff. He secured his nomination be-
cause his record as a bitter, vindictive
Radical was superior to that Of his CON-
petitors. The scenes in the conventions
of Loyal Leagues which nominated
Curry were indescribably rich, and
never viii the people Of Shelby forget
the conduct Of the negroes led by Curry,
when he was the Radical candidate for
Sheriff. Curry has always been a favo-
rite with the negroes. As evidence ofthis
we have only to refer to his vote as the
Radical candidate for Sheriff in March,
1865. The white people, with the appro-
baton of A. p. Curry, were nearly all
DISTINGUISHED. Curry was the negro
candidate for Sheriff, and nearly all OF
them gave him their vote. In March,
1865, the contest for Sheriff was between
P. NJ. Winters and A. P. Curry, and the
negroes OF Memphis voted as follows:

WARDS.

1t will be seen from the above figures
that Colonel Curry in 1865 was a great
favorite with the negroes. They nomi-
mated him, through their Loyal
Leagues, as the Radical candidate, and
they rallied to his support in black
battalions and .taunted the white men
Of Shelby county with their disfran-
chisement. Colonel Curry has done
nothing to weaken his popularity with
the negro. While Sheriff he was a bit
ter partisan; was a member Of the Radi-
cal Executive Committee; chartered
Tailroad cars for the purpose Of import
ing INTO Memphis negroes from the
country where they could have
aa opportunity of voting ten votes
instead OF one. Curry voted
for Stokes, and with the negroes against
the enfranchisement Of the tax-paying
people in 1869. The record of Colonel
Curry, as a Radical, is clear, and it is
not surprising that the negroes are again
marching to his support. On the day of
the election nearly every negro and
white Radical in Shelby county will be
clamoring for the election of their can
didate, Colonel A. P. Curry. This fact
ought to unite in a solid and compact
phaIanx the Conservatives and Demo-
Gratis. They have a candidate worthy
Of trust, and should give him a cordial
support. Now that the Radicals, white
and black, are rallying to the standard
of Curry, it devolves on the friends
of Greeley and Brown on all
good citizens who would secur peace
and prosperity to the country, to see to
it that Jack Doyle is cheated Sheriff. De-
feat him and Radicalism is again en-
thrOned in this county, and Barbour
Lewis will be elected TO Congress and
the whole ticket for the Legislature de-
feated. Doyle must be elected Sheriff:
This can be done by work from now IN
til the first day Of Angst; but not by
publicly talking for him and then voting
against him with the negroes and white
Radicals.

whole thing in a nutshell. 1t is true that

man; but II is also true that A. p. Curry

A GERMAN STORY.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE causes
which lead to the removal of the mos
popular German Minister who ever SET
foot in Washington have just been de-
velOped here to the no small discredit OF
one of the most trusted Representatives
Of the Grant administration. The Baron,
it will be remembered, came to this
country in 1876, and from that time to
his removal, especially through the re-
belliOn, gave the most substantial ev-
idence of his own friendship as well
as of the country which he represented,
for the American people. In the midst
Of the FTanc0-German war the Baron
becoming convinced that the admins
tration was hardly observing its neutral
obligations with reference to the sales
of military stores to the belligerents,
wrote a friendly notice to Bancroft Davis
Observing that according to his infOrma-
ton the French were allowed too much
facility in the purchase of arms in this
country.
Davis wrote a most cruel and insulting
reply thereto, to which the Baron i'm
mediately took exception. The latter
went TO Secretary Fish with the letterand
asked what 1t meant. The Secretary
with a blandness which never deserts
him, assured the Baron that ne need
pay no attention to the insulting mis-
sive, and that Davis was acting merely
in a clerical capacity, and was beneath
the dignity Ofhis just indignation. This
conciliated the Baron and he paid no
further attention to the matter.
A very snort time after this unpleas-
antness, Baron Gerolt received a tele-
gram from Bismarck, reprimanding
him for his conduct toward the Amer
lean officials at Washington, and more
especially for his unfriendliness to the
Grant administration.
Without even replying to this telegram,
or even asking for an explanation to
II, the Baron at once rendered his resig-
nation, which was speedily accepted.
When the Baron returned to Berlin,
circumstances occurred which led him
to ask an explanation for the censure
given him by Bismarck. The latter
then put the Baron in possession of
various communications made to him
self by Minister Bancroft, wherein the
Baron was declared to be hostile to
Grants Administration, and on I'M
friendly terms with the majority of the
members of the American Cabinet.
Fortified by letters from some of the
most prominent Republicans in this
country, and more particularly by his
own statements, Bismarck was soon con-
WINGED that he had been badly imposed
upon, and that both himself and Gerolt
had been made the victims of a cunning
and disgraceful intrigue. Bismark was
very indignant, and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION from Bancroft.
In the explanation which followed,
it appeared that Minister Bancroft had
been imposed upon by communications
from his nephew, Bancroft Davis, and
that upon these statements he had made
his own representations to Bismarck.
supposing them to be of official origin.
SO it would seem that the French arms
spectators had a more potent influence
upon the Administration than even vet
has received credit for.

TIE RADICAL nRouEnARY.

Barbour Lewis is a better friend of
Curry than Curry himself. Curry only
runs at night among the loyal leaguers,
while Barbour, with fearful audacity,
rushes in both day and night. Barbour
intends to go to Congress from this Dis
trict, and the only hope for success
consists in his having a stepping stone
in the Sheriff of Shelby county. Curry
bends his back and Barbour has one
foot on it ready to vault into the
black saddle Of Radicalism which these
two propose to fasten upon us forever.
1t would be well for decent white people
to stand from under, and beware of

TIE D RACE.

.LOngfellOw beaten wins greater fame
than LOngfellow victorious. When he
triumphed over Bassett at Long Branch,
he only Outstripped a horse of marvel
lous h~eetness; when he r~esOlutely held
on his victorious way, and with speed
hardly lessened by pain that must have
been keenest, intolerable anguish, he
displayed a courage and degree of reso-
~luteness that will give to animals a
stronger claim, than was ever before as
serted, upon the esteem, admiration,
and even affections, of men. With re-
gret we learn that the famous horse is
probably disabled for life by an accident
at the Saratoga course. That this took
place in a race which saw two and
a quarter miles accomplished in
three minutes and fifty-nine seconds
the fastest time on recOTd-will make
the accident the more d~eplorable, when,
too, it is learned that LOngfellOw only
lost the race by a length. One of his
plates became twisted in the running
and cut the other footand leg badly, but
the heart of the horse never weakened.
He ran, the Herald says, gamely as
ever to the end, and was led off limp
ing and bleeding to the stable. There
seems something in this Of pluck, al
most heroism, which man arrogates ell
tirely to himself; but two miles and a
quarter on little better than three legs
and in such time will challenge admira-
ton the world over. 1t will be remem-
bered that he recently beat his success
ful rival, Harry Bassett, a Long Branch,
in a MISUNDERSTANDING race, by about
n hundred and fifty yards, in four
minutes and thirty-four seconds.

ExOCH EEsLEY AND HIS AsSAIL-
ANTS.


ANTS.
While it is true that a candidate fol
public Office may properly have his
character closely scanned and all his
vices as well as virtues publicly
portrayed, it is hardly legitimate for one
having special cause OfpersOnal hostility
20 a candidate to wreak vengeance for
real or supposed wrongs, at a time
when the people should have only dis
passionate statements. There is not a
better citizen ethan old man Lake, or
one more truthful, but there is not one
Of stronger friendships or Of stronger
hates, and he is none the worse for these
characteristics. When We have said
this there is no further answer
required to his terribly angry as
sault upon Colonel Enoch Ensley. We
make this statement because it is due 10
the APPEAL in view Of the fact that
Mr.. Lakes fierce invective was given
publicity, rs an advertisement,
through our columns. 1t is not the
province Of the APPEAL to become the
special advocate of Colonel EnOch Ems
ley, and it is u purpose only to say
that he, like his competitors, would
do honor TO Shelby county in the Senate
of Tennessee. 1t must be conceded that
Colonel Ensley is esteemed by the
business men Of Memphis a
gentleman Of extraordinary good,
sound, practical sense, and very
certainly he was ahead Of the working
men themselves in promulgating their
own platform. We say all this because
he has been most virulently assailed,
because Il is true Of him, and because
the advertising columns Of the APPEAL
we're made q vehicle for an assault,
the injustice Of which, as we view
it, could not be exaggerated. Colonel
Ensley's friends, because Of this intern
perate attack, will only gather about
him in greater numbers, and toll the
more earnestly for his success at the
ballot-box to-day.
This statement, under the circum-
stances, is certainly due to Mr.. Ensley,
who Is absent, and derogates in nothing
from the equal and unquestioned claims
of Colonies King and Kerr to popular
confidence and esteem.
