Rhubarb.

The Germantown Telegraph says d good
word for rhubarb. There is large class
who are fond OF this: at is among the
earliest green things; and, though no one
classes it among the choicest of horticul-
tural gifts, in the abstract, vet on account
sof its early growth it will always be es-
>teemed. Its earliness being one of its
valuable points, place should be selected
for it where it will get all the advantages
of early spring suns. Some people help it
by putting barrels over the roots This
keeps out the cold; and as the rhubub is
stimulated to grow by very little heat
the natural warmth of the ground brings
it up if the frost be kept out Then the
barrels help to banch it Il little. and il is
not quite so sour as when left to grow
naturally in its own way. Rhubard is poor
stuff when stringy and it is the aim of
good growers to have ii as pulpy As pos
Sible. Therefore the soil is to be made
very rich indeed-as good as manure can
make il When grown IN this way, even
the outside is tender, and it may be cut up
for use without even peellng, as is so often
done Some varieties are, however. more
tender than others. There are four pop
ular kinds which. when we'll grown. are
All OF about equal value. These are the
Victoria, Linn;cuS, Magnum Bonum. and
Prince Albert The l.inn@us is the best
known. not because ii is any better than
the others named, but simply because some
men who happened to have large stock
of it. some Years ago. hit on the brilliant
idea of pushing it off as the wine plant,
and thus 4 demand was especially created
for this one. thereby cutting out, by this
brilliant trick of the trade, other men who
had large stocks OF the other varieties.
Only the 'Linn@us was thus made the
true Simon Pure Rhubarb is very rapid
ly increased by cutting All old crown TO
pieces. If these are split downward, on 4
line with the growth of the root, every
piece of root will grow, though it be split
into a score of pieces but a piece of root
will not grow unless there is a portion Of
the crown with it. The crown is the mp
per portion OF leaf-bud, just under the
ground If very large stocks be desired,
the plants should not be set too close A
root to every four square feet is enough
that is to say, the plants should grow two
feet from one another every way. As the
rhubarb is a gross feeder, if they be put
closer than this they will likely stawe one
another

Treasury Department until General lay

lowing characteristic anecdote Of Presi-

politician had been long making efforts to
have Mr. Hagner removed to make 4 place
for himself He discovered that Mr IIao-
uer, many years before, when General
jackson was in the army, refused to pass
certain of his accounts, amounting to some
SO 900, for want of sufficient vouchers,
which he had lost in an active campaign
Armed with this information he approach
ed the General and made the unfortunate
mistake OF proposing to him. that if he
was appointed the account could be au-
dited and paid. This reused the ire of the
General, and threw him into violent pas
sion; he called his servants to turn the
internal scomdrel out OF the house, and
directed one Of them to go 10 Mr.. Hagner
and order him to come to him INSTANTLY
Mr.. IIagner was quietly sitting in his office
when he received this peremptory order,
and Immediately obeyed it. He found the
General walking up and down the room
in I violent passion, and the first saluta-
ton he met with was Give me your hand.

all this was Greek to Mr.. Hagner The
affair had happened many years before,
and was entirely forgotten by him. 1twas
some time before he succeeded in quieting
the gentleman down, when he asked him
what il all meant. The General then told
him the circumstances, adding, Go to your
office, sir; make yourself perfectly easy ;

How TO KEEP A SITUATION An OBJ
serving correspondent in the Western Ru-
raj gives the following hints on the sub
,ject:
Be ready to throw in an odd half hour
or an hours time when it will be an ac-
commodation, and don't seem to make a
merit Of it. Do it heartily. Though not
word be said, your employer will make
a note Of it. Make yourself indispensa-
BILE to him, and he will lose many of the
opposite kind before he will part with
you Those young men who watch the
clock to see the very second their work
ing hour is up-who leave, no matter
what state the work may be in at pre-
cisely the instant-who calculate the extra
amount they can slight their work, and
yet not get reproved-who are lavish OF
their employers goods-will always be
the first to receive notice. when times are
dull, that services are no longer required
