in appropriate historical connection. A
peculiar value, in fact, is given to the book
from this particular feature of it. For in
stance, we have "Spcnser and contem-
porary poets," Shakespeare and the early
dramatists," "NIiton and his contempora-
ries," "Dryden and his contemporaries"
"Pope and his contemporaries" and so on,
embracing all the leading literary characters
in English literature, both before Sponsors
time and after it. Prof. Hart is a clear,
finished and most exact writer, and has
grouped his materials with admirable skill
and judgment, giving the largest amount of
valuable information in the smallest COM
pass of any work Of the kind extant. In
fact, what is not contained in the work, in
sufficiently explicit form, is hardly worth
seeking for elsewhere by the general Amer
lean scholar. The publishers deserve cred
it for the handsome typographical manner
in which the work is given to the public.

And now that we have something in the
shape Of dog-law that is little better
than nothing, and which may, if properly
enforced by our farmers, rid them of most
of the sheep-killing dogs, let the public
attention be turned at once to this great in
terest of our State. There is little danger
Of the repeal of the present duty on wool,
for the reason that the Western representa-
tives in Congress will hardly consent that
the first radical application of the free-trade
principle shall be applied to one of the
great and growing interests of their section
for the benefit of the Eastern manufacturer.
There will be demand this year for over
two hundred million pounds of domestic
wool, or that of American raising, and
there is no reason why our people should
not furnish handsome share of this pro-
duct.

RESTORING OLD TREES TO FRUITFUL
NEsS-TRY II.

On nearly every farm in Virginia there
are old fruit trees covered with moss, with
much dead wood, and bearing only wormy
and worthless fruit. These trees may all
be made very valuable at small expense.
The work of renovation should begin at
once. First. Cut out all the dead wood.
Second. Cut out at least one-third Of the
live wood, leaving that which looks
freshest. Third. Cover the ground thiclly
with ashes, and good sprinkling of lime
and bone-dust, and fork it in or plow very
shallow, taking care not to break the sur
face cots. Five. Cover the GROUND
under the limbs with coarse manure,
rotten chips or any other coarse litter,
to prevent sod from forming. Sixth. In
May or June scrape the body of the tree,
removing the moss and rough material,
and wash with strong I've or suds made of
soft soap. This treatment will cause a
new growth of wood to start, which should
be allowed to grow only where it is wanted,
so as not to make the top too thick. Every
succeeding spring cut out more of the old
wood, and manure literally in the fall. In
single year the fruit will increase and inn
prove in quality. In three years this treat
ment will make over the whole tree, and it
will become profitable piece of property.
If the variety is not good the top can be
grated at small expense.
Whoever will faithfully follow this course
Of treatment with his old trees is sure to
be literally rewarded in abundant fruit,
and the satisfaction of seeing unsightly old
trunks transferred into vigorous and pro.
ductve trees. There are thousands of ole
orchards in Virginia that could be thus
made productive, to pay more in direct re-
turns than the whole farm besides. The
expense is mostly in time and labor, and
every farmer can get time, and has labor
which can be profitably employed in this
way. We have old trees which, -four
years ago looked as bad as any in old Vir-
ginia. Pruning, manure, and stirring the
ground have converted them into valuable
trees, producing annually from twenty
five to thirty bushels Of fine fruit each
We have one tree especially, that has
changeE the color of its fruit, quadruplet
its size, and yields thirty bushels of apples
worth at least twenty dollars. Ten dollars
would cover the expense Of renovating
this tree. Take care Of the old orchards

THE DRIFT.

All parties in the House agree that Mr..
Ramsdell, whom to regard as the leader on
the Republican side in the funding-bill fight
is no disparagement to any other member,
has acquitted himself most handsomely
throughout the long and tedious debate
upon this subject and that to him, more
than to any other man, belongs the honor
of having stripped the bill of last session of
two of its most iniquitous features. His
course has been such that he has not only
kept his own party unit in opposition to
the fundmg-bill iniquity, but he has been
backed by majority of the Conservative
members of the House, who have
not only recognized his great abilities, but
have cheerfully accorded him the honor of
leading the gallant fight in which success
has perched upon the anti-funding stand
ards. But we apprehend that more than
this has been done. In the debate Of yes
terday on the bill instructing the Treasurer
not to receive from foreign insurance COM
panies, as securities to be filed by them, any
certificates for the one-third of the debt set
apart for West Virginia to pay, and declar-
ing that Virginia will hold herself in no
way responsible for such portion of the
debt except as trustee, it was evident that
pretty effectual wedge had been driven
between the Conservative elements of the
House and the old Democratic fogies
Of the T" funding hub" and that a split
had taken place which it would be diff
cult for any party diachylum to heal up,
for the present at least. We have already
foreshadowed this drift of events in the
State, and look upon this entering wedge of
division as one of the healthiest signs Of
the times in Virginia. There never
has been, nor is there now, any
reason why the old-line Wings of
the State should affiliate with
the old bunker Democracy. In all
that appertains to the welfare Of our State,
and to the growth of its material interests,
now more imperatiyely demanding develop
ment than ever, there is worldwide diff
ference between these two parties. A split
has occurred, and the sooner reorganiza-
ton ensues, the better. 1t must come, and
no man should shut his eyes to events that
are inevitable.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The WoMAN's JoURNAL.-The friends of woman
suffrage, who wish to keep the issue clear from
entangling alliances with other reforms and the
endless host of individual whims and vagaries-
who would pursue it with the same sngleness of
aim that marks the movement in England, and
the temperance and other special reforms in this
country, have established weekly paper, the
Womdn'S Journal, published in Boston and Chi
cago, and edited by Mrs. Livermore, Mrs. Lucy
Stone, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mr.. VIM. Lloyd
Garrison, and Mr.. T. w. Hgginson, assisted by
accomplished friends of the cause. The Vo-
mans Journal is a fair and attractive paper in
appearance, while the variety and spirit of its
articles, and the dignity, selfrespect, good
humor, and earnestness of its tone, will show
how profoundly mistaken are those who suppose
that folly and extravaganza are necessarily char
acteristic of the discussion of the question The
Journal is indispensable to those who would
truly understand the character of the movement
and measure its progress.-Hupef'S Weekly.
