DRIED FRUIT.

We are induced at the present time
fo'oQcra few suggetions TO oar eOun-
try fripnsts With reference to the fruit
crop The. scitson II about to open,
and thcreis every reason to believe
that "A rich harvest Is in store for those
who will properly cut and prepare
their fruit for iaBrNer. In the years
past dried ffuit has become a source
,,f considerable revenue, and lis inn
pnrtance AZ produce Of our country
II bccoming greater every year, and
IL likely the approaching season to
he more extensive as a business than
ever before experienced i'm this mar
kct. Our information, well founded,
from different sections Of the State,
Is that the peach crop especially is
much larger this year than any pre-
Vious since the war, and il IL natural
70 suppose that foreign capital will
HI ~ ready as usual to be invested
therein. Our pr9dnce men here, al
ways wide awake, have hitherto paid
good prices for fruit for shipment
North, and are doubtless now ready
10 take hold Of any and all that may
he bronght to our market. The fruit
grower should remember that the
produce OF ono acre well cultivated
in fruit will pay his dry goods bill for
year, aud If the fruit is only taken
care OF and offered TO the country
merchant, he will accept il as readily
in payment Of bill as he would cot
ton, corn, wheat or any staple pro-
duct Of the country. Two years ago
the peach crop was estimated in val
ne to our State at one and half mil
lion Of dollars. This year, if il Is
handled with the care which its i'm
portancc demands, will probably ex-
cecd two million and IA half, 80 that
"a large amount of the money lost to
tho State by the failure OF wheat,
may be recovered by the proper at
tention bestowed on fruit, and the
necessary care in its preparation and
drying. We therefore advise fruit
growers, however small may be the
extent Of their crops, to save every
pound. It will put money in the
hands Of the producer and the mer-
chant just at a season when it is
most needed.-Nashville paper.

TO Have Good Hay Crops.

The question il now to get good
crops of hay and grass, epd this ques-
ton was touched upon in the discus
sion upon this subject at the last
meeting of the State Board of Agri-
culture of Massachusetts,, when Mr..
johnson said:
"The first thing which a farmer
must do, in order to increase his hay
crop, ia TO look to his manure. We
cannot prepare tho ground for seed
properly, unless the manure heap is
cared for. That is the first thing
Then 1t is important that we should
plow our ground properly, that it may
be in suitable condition to receive
the manure and seed. If the ground
is not plowed to the depth of seven
or eight inches, possibly nine, we can
not get n surface cultivation SO thor
ough that the roots will not be liable
10 dry up. We cannot get mold
enough, to use that term, by shallow
blowing to insure our crop against
dry seasons. And it is also essential,
az every farmer well knows, that we
should have a proper quality of ma
nure, in order that the sod may have
plenty of food, and that We may have
u paying crop of grass. 1t does not
pay to NOV ground where we do not
get more than ten or fifteen hundred
pounds to the acre, high ~ labor is
now. l should say that on most soils
about fourteen cords of compost ma
nure should be applied to the acre in
planting the ordinary farm crops pre-
paratory TO seeding our grass lands
Manure is the secret of success, and
without manure we might ~ we'll
make much headway."

That which protects from or prevents this

communities where it prevails. Prevention

the miasmatic poison Of Fever and Ague
from the system, and prevents the develop

great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and Ger.
tain euro of Intermittents is, that 1t contains
no Quininc or mineral; consequently II pro.
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution, Those cured

Cassius NJ. Clay has lately been in
teryiewed by q newspaper correspond
ent, and tells what he knows about
Grant. To judge from the following,
we should say he knows a good deal !:
sGrants elevation in life," said Mr..
Clay, "was the most wonderful exem-
plification of the faYors of fortune the
worlds history had ever known.
Grant had been born in poverty, rear
ed in indoience and ignorance. He
was s.olid and insensible, without cul-
tivation or natural refinement. He had
no knowledge of men, ,or power to in
terpret the workings of the human
heart. He had surrounded himself
with advisers who were corrupt and
selfish and who had not the public
veal at heart. He had gone into Office
scarcely three years ago almost poor
man, and was now worth half mill
ion of dollars. His example had stim-
ulated kuavery and encouraged the
plundering of the public treasury. He
believed, as Andy johnson had said,
that when the battles of Antietam and
Gettysburg were fought, the Southern
Confederacy was crushed, and when
Grant took command of the Eastern
Army, all he had to do was to follow
his Baggage wagons to Richnond and
receive the sword of Lee. Grants
wonderful luck had almost persuaded
him to think that the Goddess For
tune was indeed blind"

Another ofieiaI Beauty.

The American public are not un-
aware of the low character of some
of the foreign appointees of the Grant
Administraiion-the Sickles, ,Kramers,
Buffers, and Others of like stock. An
other low official has come to light.
The New York Freemdn's Journal
states as fact, 'twith full means OF
proving it," and accepting the respon-
sibility of what it say that the Amer
ican Consul al Rome, who is, by mar
riage, a connection of General Grants
Secretary OF State, ''DlaEes renal trof-
fc of the courtesieS extended to him,
and SELLS to his customers the privi-
leges courteousiy extended to him as
American Consul, to Introduce par
ties he recommends to the Vatican.
The Journal has something more
without, however. the proof that it
has of the above stated fact. It is that
Englishmen, who are snubbed at their
own Consuis in Rome as not being
prescntabie, are accustomed to say:
t.1Aac! We'll, let is 90 to the AmeTican
felldh.. He will do what we want, IT
ace pay HIM" We do not wonder at
the formidable revolt in the Repnbli-
can camp when we consider the low
tastes and character of the men Grant
manages TO select for his officials al
home and abroad. There are, of course,
honorable exceptions, but Grant puts
too many dead files in his pot of oint-
ment-Enquirer

The Harrisburg correspondent OF
the New York Tribune, tells how
Grant fnglers in the Convention for
the nomination of State officers in
Pennsylvania, sprung their trap and
elected delegates 10 the National
Presidential Convention:
"An illustration of the spirit pre-
yailing aud methods fused will be
found in the appointment of delegates
to the National Convention--a fla
grant usurpation, carried through
with an insolent defiance of order and
precedent. Before permanent organ
ization was effected, resolution or
deripg o Committee to nominate the
delegates was passed amid much con-
fusion, in spite OF the earnest protests
of right-Ininded members, and with
out being half understood by con-
siderable number. z This Committee
consists of but seven members, and
the only show of consultation by these
was allowing them to read the list of
names which MIR. Errett, the Chair
man took from his pocket aud passed
about among them before sending il
up to the desk" -. = f
In view of such disgraceful proceed
iags, it is not surprising that the hon.
est masses oflthe republican party arc
repudiating the State ticketand threat
en- to bolt the Presidential arrange
ment SO nicely cooked up by their ras-
cally leaders.

ERUPTION of Mount yesuyius.

MALES. April 25.-The eruption of
Mount Vesuvius, which has been in
creasidg. in violence since the first
signs ofcominotion, has now reached
an unwonted pitch of grandeur. New
eraters have formed and streams OF
lava are pouring down the mountain
side in different directions. Naples is
already crowded with yititors. and
tourists are arriving from all parts OF
Europe 10 witness the spectacle.
|. NAIL rs, April Is. Streams of lava,
which threatened the villages of Res
ina and Pcrsinia, have ceased, and the
molten mass Is now cooling. The erup-
ton is decreasing. but the Villagers do
not ye. dare to return to their homes.
NAPEEs, April 2S-2 r. M.-The fires
of Ycsuvius are slackening. a new
crater opened near Tersigna, but with
every fresh opening now the violence
of the eruption seems to labate- Yes
terday the entire mountain was con-
cealed from sight by the smoke set
tied around it. This morning the
heavens are darkened by dense clouds
of smoke and ashes. A strong wind
carried showers of burning cinders
and old scoriR as far as Scaiate and
Palermo. The precautioE was taken
TO food the Governmcnt powder mag
aZine at Scafate. .fs..st .Ess
The volume of the stream of lava
near San Sebastian is sixteen feet
deep, and the villtge is still in danger.
The King, who arrived at Naples yes
terdsy, has gone to San Sebastian to
direct measures for the relief of the
inhabitants. The devastation has been
terrible. !. Thousands of acres ofculti-
by ashes and lava, and vineyards and
farms are buried out of sight. The
loss OF life must have been heavy, bu,
it is impossible to ascertain the nnm-
Der of victims. .r

THEODORE TnToN, in his newspaper
called the Golden Age, in New York,
has found worse thing about Gener-
al Grant than :. his chronic stupidity
and political insagacity.". Heltells US
that" it is moi, the appointment OF his
half imbecile and half knavisha .rela-
tives to, Offices which they disgrace. :"
Neither is IT his connigance at corrup-
ton, his patronage of thieves, his con-
slant advertising for policy and new
er adhering to it when adopted, nor
to his vulgar tastes and low associa-
tions. Mr.. Tilton thinks the country
might tolerate that, but it cannot SUBJ
init to i" his fearful usurpations of
power and patronage" It is Mr.. Til
toms opinion that if he can carry the
Convention by cash now, he can carry
the country four. years hence by. can
non, and he calls upon the Republican
party to throw the usurper from it's
shoulders in scorn, and sweep his
creatures from its councils as 80 much
offal." This is pretty plain talk from
one of the leaders of the most adj
vanced branch of the Radical party,
and it shows how intense the disgust
is when SO strong partisan as Mr..
Tilton gives expression to it in such
terms.

THE Philadelphia correspondence of
the n. Y. San, tells of o ( counter"
who was employed to count the five
cent nickles in the IT. 8. Mint, and
who carried away 3,760 worth of
them in less than three weeks, filling
all of his pockets each night. He was
found ont and discharged but never
arrested. The reason why he escaped
was because he was Grant man and
good worker. Another official de-
faulted for $4,000 while third
carried of $4,000 in small silver coin
q pocket full at time. All these
losses are accounted for as shortages
The extent of these shortages" can
only be conjectured3 by the public.
