Killing Pawpaws.

On our warm. rich soils this shrub
has been source of constant trouble,
esp CHILLY in pastures. l have heard so
many of our farmers complain OF the
great amount of labor required to keep
it down in woodland pastures, and have
myself found it SO troublesome that L
feel like giving all those who don't
know how to kill them the beneht OF
nv experience. Last summer farmer
told me il | would cut them down three
years in succession IN August, that 1t
would kill them effectually. If he had
said the dark of the moon in August,
[ should have doubted the whole thing.
But I have always been in the habit of
deadening where | intended to clear III
August, and was partially convert to
his theory, only pawpaws are such IN
veterate sprOuters even when grubbsd,
that | had come to the belief that there
was no way getting rid of them. l had
always been i'll the habit OF clearing up
pastures in the winter and spring when
there was not rush of work, and had
a pasture that had great many paw
paws that had to be cut down in the
winter and spring of 1871. Last spring
and summer they had sprOutcd up from
three to six feet high. In August, l cut
them near the ground with a bush
scythe; and now, though this spring
and summer has been unusually wet and
favorable to the growth of sprouts, few,
if any, of these have sprouted over foot
high. while many of them are killed
outright. From present appearances,
the three years will not be needed to
kill them. l have examined where L
deadened last August for pasture, where
there were a great many pawpaws from
two to five inches in diameter, and, with
scarcely an exception, they are dead
past ever sprouting. l read statement
of farmer who said that rails made
from timber cut in August would last as
long again, said that in a year or two
the bark would slip off and the sap
would be as firm as the heart. l tried
it and found the statement correct, and
have practiced it till almost think l
can tell rail made then on any body S
fence. And 1 have always noticed that
in my deadenings, which / generally
wonnd up three yearsafter, that even the
twigs of large oaks deadened three years
before in August were still as round and
tough as could be. am so we'll salts
fled that this is the proper time for cut
ting timber to last that with me it is
not debatable question.-COr. Rural

Old Folks in the Garden.

IF it were not for gardens it is hardto
tell how many quiet. elderly, moderate
ly well-to-do people could get along, or
how they could even live. The house
was finished and furnished years ago
the children are married and gone; the
old gentleman and his wife comprise the
whole family: there is revenue suffi
cient to support them; they can read
the paper and 60 to church they visit
little, and occasionally have visitors, but
there is no occupation for them unless
they seek it, as they do, in the garden.
This garden of theirs has been made
rich; there are currants, gOoseberries,
Strawberries, and some pear, peach and
apple trees, which, like themselves, show
marks of age then around the house
are rose-bushes and all kinds of old
fashioned Towering shrubs, and over the
kitchen and paths grape-vines spread in
long and devious ways. Much time is
spent in keeping all these in order, but
more time in the planting and care of
vegetables. Sheltered as the ground is,
every thing starts early; cucumbers are
in the rough leaf before young men on
poorer soil get theirs above ground. and
corn is ready to hoe before others plant.
The old gentleman is up in the early
morning stirring the ground, and killing
weeds, and inhaling the pure fresh air,
while he thinks of days past, and dead
friends, or muses., perchance, upon the
future life, wondering, it may be, if in
that unknown land there will not exist
employment of some kind connected with
the growth of plants. While the tea
kettle is simmering the old lady steps
out for few minutes to see if new peO-
MES, or roses, or pinks, or lilies have
come forth in the night, or if insects
have committed ravages. After break,
fast they both appear again, and many
are the hours they spend with their pets
and friends. Thus their summers pass
peaceful and contented. All this is not
"practical," but we happened the other
day to witness just snch scene, and we
believe there are thousands of Oul
readers who will find the picture true to
life.-NeU York Tribune.
OLD HUMBUGs DIsCARDED.-Thank
heaven, the old-school practice is pass
ing away. Ipecac, alOes, calOmel, blist
ering, the lancet, and worse than all.
medicated rum, have given place to a
new remedy, which bids fair to become
the universal medicine of mankind.
Vinegar Bitters is that remedy. 1t is
destined to take precedence of all other
curatives now before the world. The
pharmacoppia and conspectus of the
regular faculty contain nothing that will
compare with it. Every day hundreds
of the sick are elnancipating them
selves from systems of treatment which
entail great expense and do no good,
and are flying to this cheap and abso-
lutely certain means of relief. Dys.
pepsia, rheumatism, liver complaint,
periodic fevers, sick headache, kidney
diseases, constipation, nervous affection
and in short all maladies, acute OF
chronic, which do not involve the IRE
parable injury of some vital organ, are
cured by this pure inalcoholic vegeta-
BILE restorative.

not be lost TO the United States. From
whatever point of view the Cuban revolution
Is looked at the position this Government
has occupied with regard to IT appears anom-
alous, weak, unkind, and in conflict with
sound policy. The Republic Of Cuba has
been recognized by one independent
American nation, and several others have
acknowledged the Cubans as n belligerent
power. Yet this Government. which ouch,
10 have been first in taking such a step, oon-
tinues to give cold shoulder to the Cubans.
1t may well be said "this Government i,
responsible for the fate of Cuba Cuba must
be free; it is only question OF time, loss of
life and property. If this Government would
recognize the existency Of state Of war be-
tween the so-called Republic Of Cuba and
the Kingdom Of Spain, and declare both par
ties to the conflict entitled to all the rights
conceded to belligerents by international
law, it would but act in accordance with the
great principles on which this Government
Is based. 1t IS with painful anxiety and
deep solicitude that the people Of the United
States are watching the action Of the Admin
istration on the Cuban question. Arouse,
YOU colored people, and stir this Government
to sense Gifts duty! Once recognized as a
belligercnt power by the United States, her
bonds would have a market value, and soon
an army Of 10000 true and tried American
soldiers would rally under the lone star BAN
ner, and, with liberty for their motto, and
God for their guide, they would be victorious,
and restore peace, prosperity, and happiness
TO the gem of the sea.

The OLD SEAL OF VIgGISrA.-The old
seal Of the Commonwealth Of Virginia, adopt
ed In 1893, was lost or mislaid az the time o.
the capture OF Richmond in 1865, and a new
one was adopted, similar in all respects 70 the
old, except that the words Liberty and
Union were substituted Cor the historic
motto, SIC .Seraper TsTanais. But the old seal
has since been restored 10 the Secretary 0.
the Commonwealth, aud the question as t.
which was legal was submitted to the Le2is.
lature, which has decided in favor Of the old
seal. But, as it Is much defaced and worn, 9
new seal, similar IN all respects TO the Ole
one, has been ordered, and, until IL il I'm
ished, the seal adopted in ls6; will be used
temporarily.

Jewish Longevity.

There are very many curious facts Related
with regard to the Jewish race many, no
doubt, are true, and some certainly have no
other foundation than fancy. Professor
stowe, in his remarkably interesting course
of lectures on the subject, delivered some
years ago in this city, gave as careful sum
mary OF the truth with regard to this peculiar
people rs has ever been made, and stats
tcian in London has recently published some
quite remarkable statements about their ply
steal condition, based upon carefully col
lected records. From these it appears that
Jewish blood contains little or no scro!ula
The average life of the Jew In London IS
forty-nine years, while Of the Christian it Is
only thirty-seven years. or given number
of Christians only one-quarter will, as gen.
eral rule, live to be sixty years, while among
Jews one-quarter lived to be at least seventy
one. Among children, fourteen per cent. Of
the Christian population die between one and
five wears OF age, while only ten per cent. OF
the Jewish children. Finally, in Prussia it
requires fi!ty-one years for the Christian pop
uation TO double itself, and only forty-one
for the Jewish. If we are not mistaken Pro-
fessor Stowe declared that the Jews had re-
NAMED of about the same total number ever
since they became historic. This proof of
their greater average longevity and greater
relative increase would seem to furnish ma
terial for contradiction Courant.
A HIT.-Grace Greenwood relates that
while proposition for the removal Of GER
tain Indian. from Wisconsin was under con-
sideration few DAYS since, the argument
being that they were poor and must be taken
care Of somewhere, Mr.. Thurman replied,
there are four or five millions Of blacks in the
South poor and without property. Must
we take care Of them?' Mr.. Howe replied,
NO, Mr.. President, the United States have
not to take care Of tho black men Of tie
