COpperas and Salt as Preventive Of
Pear Blight.

An exchange says Many years since we
used copperas water applied to the soil, as
remedy for leaf blight in the pear, and
the use of iron filings, scraps, ETC., has
been occasionally reported as preventive.
In other words, pear trees standing near
blacksmith shop, around which all the
refuse filings, etc, of the shop were thrown,
have been reported healthy, when trees
not so supplied, but in equal and better
soil, just adjoining have blghted and died.
The use of hot copperas water as wash to
prevent the blight has been advised, but
while it has acted benefcally when taken
in the very first stages of the disease, it
has not generally been accredited as of
specific value. The why? is believed to be,
because the blight is caused from somo un-
healthy condition of the tree, and like the
human system subjective to whatever dis
case may exist in the same A study of
the organism of the plant, its ingredients
to form health and vigor has Therefore been
AZ much point with the intelligent horti-
oulturist, as has the human system to the
professor of medicine; and careful obser-
vation makes it apparent that copperas or
sulphate of iron, as well as common salt,
are necessary health in the pear tree.
With this knowledge in view, therefore, it
becomes the pear tree grower to apply to
his soil solution of copperas and salt, in
preference to free use of animal manure,
in which are only a small percentage of the
great properties of the two ingredients Of
food requisite in the tree. AS to quantity
and time of application it is our impression
that to each pear tree of ten years growth
0ne-fourth pound Of copperas and two
pounds of salt dissolved in two gallons of
water and sprinkled over the ground within
the area Of the branches is about the
quantity that should be used, and that any
time previous to March, is the time to
make the application.

THEIR VISIT TO RoME-How THEY DRESS LOOK,
AND BEHAVE.
Anne Brewster, in her last letter from Rome
to the Philadelphia Bulletin, describes visit of
the Prince and Princess OF Wales to an artists
studio in the Holy City
1.-THE Princess wore lounced black tik shert
skirt with looped over-skirt and short loose
Jacket of black merino, both trimmed Tan

Sack silk fringe. Her hat was Of black vel

up off the temples, and she wore chignon OF
chatelaine braids in net.
- She struck me as being an unaffected, ania-
BILE young woman, and even prettier than her
pictures though very like them. The expression
Of her face is gay and cheerful, and she seems
to be extremely well acquainted with her hus-
band there was a chraming freedom and in
timacy between them. Once the Prince looked
at photograph hanging in corner, and SAID aid to :,

laughed as il it was q good Joke.

The Cincinnati special correspondent Of the
New York Times telegraphs the following
o. =. CmoINNATI, April ~.
There ia enough here nov, when only the ad-
vance skirmishers of the ''soreheads' are now
on the ground, to show that this is nothing but
q sacrifice of principles to the nope OF spolls;
only last resort of cast OF party hacks to OBJ
tain that chance at public plunder which they
know they will never get from the party they
professed TO belong to, and Which has ceased to
trust them. Personal rivalry was never 80 in
tense as II is here, and one not acquainted with
the facts would suppose that these men were
actually engaged in selecting the next President
The number coming falls short OF the expect
ations entertained, and 1t is now not likely that
the city will be +" jammed,' at all.
There ia trouble among the Illinoians because
of the current here for Adams, and the "sore-
heads of that State declare that Grant can
beat him in Illinois $4,000. The Democratic,
thew say, will not vote for Adams, and his nom
nation means surrender not TO the democracy
but TO the. Republicans To counteract the
Adams crowds they have called for reinforce
n,enta. and II they succeed in getting them,
there will be some additional howlers here by
Tuesday for Trumbull, Davis or Palmer, as the
situAtion NAV Determine. Another symptom
of the existing incongruities is to be found in

| tary Of the Free Trade League, who has found
| il necessary to deny, over his signature, that
| the League 10 In favor Of Gratz Brown, or that
| it has Grosvenor in it's pay.
As il this were not enough, it transpires that
/ New York is going to insist on Greeley and
| Palmer and that Pennsylvania will, be content
| only with Curtin and Cox. Missouri is stead
| fast for Brown. Illinois has still her three fa-
yorites. Indiana speaking through Defrees,
declares only Davis equal to the crisis, and to
| confound confusion, some Ohio Liberal Repub-
| licans have had the assurance TO get mp and
| howl for VIM. 8. Groesbeck, lifelong Demo

| Bic TO conceive Of any set of self-sacrihcng
office-hating patriots getting into. Veteran OBJ
i servers in politics are amazed at the want Of 90

which they find on arriving here.
One of the latest reports is that Wamonth and
his Louisiana followers will go for Adams, and

The /" Old DomlnIon."

sHK TAKES THE EYE OF THE NEW YORK PEOPLE
The New York papers speak in terms Of high
praise Of the new steamship, Old Dominion. The
Herald, of Saturday, describes her, at length,
saying that
"If any other proof were needed that iron
steamship building in America is no longer an
experiment il has been furnished in the arrival
Of the new iron steamship Old Dominion, Just
finished at Wilmington, Del, and intended TO run
between New York Norfolk and Richmond. This
vessel is, without doubt, one of the best iron
steamships yet constructed. Her total cost was
&400, ,00O."
Editorially, the same paper also says:
"WhiIe Congress has been discussing the
question of promoting shipbuildiug and propos-
ing number of schemes, without acting upon
them, for protecting and subsidizing steamship
lines and ship builders, some OF our enterpIlslng
citizens have been, and are at work practically
| In constructing first GLASS vessels. There came
| to this port the other day new, splendid iron
steamship from Wilmington. Del, for the trade
between New York and Richmond She is now
| in the harbor, and will make her hrst regular
| VOYAGE this afternoon. This is the Old Domin-
/ ion, belonging TO the Old Dominion Steamship
| Co.. and was built blythe Harlan HollingsTert h
| Co., of Wilmington. She IL two thousand two
| hundred and twenty-five tons burden, ,torty-one
feet six inches beam, ,tweRtythree feet six inches
| fepth of hold and measures two hundred and
| sixty-three feet over all. She is said to be, by
good judges, equal to, and to excel in some re-
spects the best Clyde built steamers. She is
| built Of American iron and by American mechan
les. II this company and these ship builders car
turn out such fine vessel what is to prevent
others doing the same We understand mum

however. to have gone astep fnrther,as a strong
