a cold and consequently backward spring,
while it has been favorable to the tree plant
ers, giving them far greater length of time
in which to handle trees and shrubs than is
usual, has operated directly against the trans.
planting OF lettuce, cabbage, and other hardy
vegetables which the gardener seeks to re-
move from the hotbed to the open ground at
the earliest practicable time. However har.
dy \ plant may be, if raised under the glass
let the care be ever so great, the plants are
seldom sufficiently hardened off before NOV
ing to render them capable Of removal with
out serious shock.
The lateness of the season, besides other
disabilities, renders the transplanting more diff.
ticult, since when the weather changes as it is
apt to do suddenly and come off warm and
dry. involving the danger Of such serious
willing as to seriously check the plants if it
does not kill them outright To obvatc this
planting should not commence until toward
evening, and should then continue as long rs
it is light enough to see. Then intermit un-
til the next day unless the weather be cloudy,
If so, plant as fast as possible. After the
plants have been Sc, from twelve to twenty
four hours they will have become firmly es,
tablisheG. Attcrward they will not suffer
seriously unless the season is so far advanced
that the heat of the sun is excessive. except
in the case of taprootted plants or other ten
der things that do not transplant readily. In
this case they must be shaded until they be-
come established.
Many persons suppose there is something
mysterious in the fact that if plants are NOV.
ed at night they are enabled to withstand the
vicissitudes of the weather more perfectly.
The rationale of the matter Is simply this ::
Being removed the roots are more or less
broken If the moisture from the roots does
not rise fast enough to supply the evaporation
by the leaves, these wilt and ultimately die.
If the leaves be kept moist the evaporation
and consequent willing does not take place.
Al night the plants are kept constantly wet
by dew. In cloudy weather the leaves DO not
part with moisture to great extent; the same
results would be obtained il the plants were
kept constantly moist and shaded for day or
two, according TO the nature Of !hc case
Therefore, when the proper season comes
utilize every hour possible in doing this
work. Plants may wilt slightly for day or
two if the weather is warm lftncy rise again
at night, all right; itnot, something is wrong

? The Coiorcd seheels.

The School Board and County Super.
intendent, after consulate u with Rev.
Yardley Warner, OF Germantown, Phlla-
-elphia, Pa, have mad placed at their dis
poSai y limited amount Of money TO be
used IN the education OF the coiored peo.
pie. The money Is intended to suppl,
ment the public funds and to be used ON
condition that the colored people help
themselves. In case the schools make a
satisfactory showing, the an cunt OF money
may be increased irom time to time.
The schools Of Jonesboro' and johnson
City will be aided, provided the cond,.
tons imposed are fully complied with.
Mr.. Warner explained to the people OF
both places his o. ject. All that now re
mains Tor the colored people to do is to
60 TO work. The more they do, the more
help they may expect. Mr.. Warner is
doing u great worA for these people. La
experimenting the public funds. be is
aiding the school law. He comes 10 our
help in the pinch of the game" aud at a
time when the asistance can be fully ap,
preclated. Mr.. Warner has spent several
yeats in this work, and. at the preseu,
time, has the oversight of schools in Vir,
gipia, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, aud
Mississippi. The money expended by
him liz provided by the Friends OF Phila-
delphia and other cities.

Schsei Supervision.

A few suggestions on this subject. A
school system without efficient supervision
will always prove u failure in the South.
The experience OF the past need not be
repeated in the future for like results
@ll naturally follow like causes. TIE
most certain way to provoke the dea rue
ton OF our school Law is to cripple ito su.
pervision. This is the rsdceming feature
OF the law. II all supervision, both

tors alone, the schools under no circum-
Stdnces u0uld he ttco ueekS loager than

result! Let history answer. Supervi
ion means free schools. Which do you

CHANGERS.

Last Spring and Summer. when SO
many persons were joining the Gran
gers, not only in East Tennessee but
In almost every other section of the
country, We had fair promises that the
condition of the country would be in a
short time greatly improved financially.
We have anxiously awaited to see these
happy and pleasant results, but as yet
our anticipations have been in vain. 1t
may be we have not given them time
sufficiently and that the good time is
not far in the distance. We do not
make these remarks tantingly to the
Changers. but If possibly to urge them

ED. :

This is a subject that will be promi.
nent before the next Legislature of
our State. and it is certainly one in
which every taxpayer is interested.
The managers Of the Railroads are
zao doubt making great deal Of money
for themselves and their companies,
and why their property should be ex.
,empt from paying taxes and at the
same time burthen the masses with
heavy taxes on all their property both

ton, is o question that Railroad Off

81 The State, as every one knows, is
'lsrgely in debt. The laboring man,
farmer, mechanic, merchant and manu-.
fscturerl all have to contribute to pay
this large debt and to keep up the ma.
chinery Of, State Government. To
permit those who are realizing large
profits off of the people generally, to
use their property in the State to do
th;s. without aiding in the least to pay
our State indebtedness, is comforting a
favor upon the few that to say the
least, is unwise and unjust to the many.
Many Of the members will go to Nash.

pie, that If elected, their influence
would be used to pass an Act to tax
the Railroads that are not now exempt
by provisions in their charters. The
people will demand of them to stand
firm to their promises, and will insist
that It is q measure that they are hon.
cstly and justly entitled to.
The tax payers, relying on the jus.
toe Of their eause, win urge their res.
pective Legislators to take an active
part in securing this measure.

prejudicial TO Railroad officials or Rail.

ments are o great benefit to the coun
