Fall Setting Of STRAWBERRIES.

Scan you send me plants early in August"
"I must GET bed out early In August TO secure
acrop next summer" Such are a sample of
the enquiries We get. We would say to ali that
tits almost total failure to order plants this
month for extensive setting. The young plants
lno othersare worth settingD are growing rapid
ly-the roots are ''milky w. and soft, and heat
and ep0il very quickly when packed to be ship
ped. Wewould not recommend ordering plants
vefore last Of September or in October. Then
the plants are more matured-the weather cool :
er, and they 60 through safely. Remember they
ere growing where they are, and that by watt
ing until September or October, you get full
grown plants, and that all, or nearly all will
grow, and too, it takes but two or three weeks
after plants are set for them TO become rootsd
in their new place, and hence plants set in
October have plenty of time to get well estab-
lisbed before winter sets in. We saw TO thoss
who are intending to order plants from q dis
lance, to set out largely for market purposes not
to do SO before October. Our experience and
word FOR 1t, If you order them earlier you will
lose the largest share Of them. For small gar
den beds OF 200 TO 500 plants, il the largest and
most mstured plants are selected and packed
with great care IN plenty or moss. they viii 20

Brant's paper mill, at Morris Plains, n. j., on
Tuesday, was caught in a get of cog wheels

The CAUSE OF RITUALIsM has approached its
climax in England as we'll as in this country
Certain Of the Ritualists have thorough detes-
tatioD of the word Protestant" At one of the
meetings OF the church congress held lately at
Brighton, q delegate spoke Of the church as
onr Protestant church" Until that time every
thing had gone on smoothly at the congress.
These words, however, were the signal for the
battle. The nigh church party present rose to
man and called out: "No, no; not Protestant
never Protestant" The opponents OF Ritualism
stoutly maintained the Protestant character OF
the English church. The advocates of Ritual
ism as stouily denied 1t. They would not admit
that there had ever been reformation in their
church, for that would indicate break in the
continuity from the days OF the Apostles. The
children are nlisted In the fight. At q recent
celebration at Ritualist church at Brighton
Tie cniiaren sang hymn commencing:
I'm not little Protestant.
ne low church At the same place, did not give
back the echo. There the children were taught
TO respond:
I'm not little Rituallst,
No Romanist am L.
The kitualists are in q peculiar posjtion
They claim kinship with the Romaa Catholics
but the Roman Catholics will not acknowledp e
the relationship. They claim also to be mem
bers OF the church Of Englapd-but not Prote-
stants. How to reconcile these contradictions
We must leave to those who believe in them.

Are the Negroes Still Nlavese

| The present status of the negroes in The
South is probably without parallel in the
history OF any people. We have here popts
latlon who few Years ago were the most ser.
vile OF servants, and who viewed with indif
ference struggle between their masters and
the Northern people which, by the merest
chance, secured their freedom Their eman-
cipation fixed, they were then, by a most IN
natural process, and in violation of every
principle OF good government, clothed with
the great power # the ballot. 1t was the
very refinement Of malignity to thus give an
Ignorant and undlsciphned majority the right
10 rule the intelligence and wealth of the
South, and the natur result of such a course
Is seen In the PROSTATE States OF South Caro-
lima, Florida and Louisiana
But this is not all. During the whole time
that the negro has welded the powerful infiu-
ence OF the ballot, he has proved himself to
be as abject II slave to his new master, the car
pet-bagger, as in the old days prior to eman
clpauon-a Slave to men too poor in pocket to
have owned him years ago, and too poor in
virtue to do him justice now. 1t isa pitia;l.
sight indeed, and one that will doubtless in
terest the future historian. Processing to be
attached to the South, and apparently anxious
10 better Their own prospects, the colored
people steadily oppose the material interests
OF those to whom alone they can hope to look
ior aid and comfort in working out their po-
iitical salvation.

Radical party, notwithstanding the we'll
known fact that in the North, East and West.
where this corrupt junta is most powerful, the

An Indian G0lgOtha,

From the Continental tGeneva) Herald.
From the time when a handful of Erplisi
traders first established factories on the mudd,
banks of Hooghly it came to be received as {
matter Of faith about which there could be nc
question that Hindostan WAS country o.
wonderful wealth, beautiful scenery, and high
| civilization. The Marquis Of Salisbury and
Lord George Hamilton have recently effectu.
ally extingnished the delusion respecting the
wealth OF India, but in the other two points OF
the tradition most Enghshmen who have never
visited the country are firm believers Is not
the land called the gorgeous East, and does
! not Its capital bear the name of the "City of
| Palaces 2? Undoubtedly those phrases are in
vogue, having probably been invented by some
huinorlst as piece Of satire on the real aspect
! OF the country and its chief city.
In point OF fact, the immeasurably greater
poruon OF Calcutta consists of foul novels on
winch even Conee'nara peasant would look
With unutterablc scorn; while the gorgeousness
OF the East Is chiefly sh 'wn in ruins, jungle,
half-starved human beings, and prevailing
TINT of mud AS regards civilization and
scenery, it will be sufficient to describe pleas
aut spot, IN the immediate vicinity of the
City OF Palaces" which was visited by
correspondent of the Friend Of Iadiu. After
advancing four or five miles through rice
swamps and mustard plantations, he came
&c oss plain SO oddly ornamented as to give
him the notion that in prehistoric ages it
must have been used as base ball field by
race OF giants Scattered over the ground, or
piled in heaps, were thousands of what looked
like great white balls, but which, on closer in
spection, proved to be human skulls On all
sides lay bones of many sorts, while my
RAIDS OF loose teeth glimmered through the
scanty grass.
After inquiry the place was found to be
merely q Mussulman battle-ground, which,
for want Of due care, had fallen into hor
rible state, that although described with en-
thusiasm by the correspondent in question,
had better be left to the Imagination. Prose
cutting further investigation, it was ascertained
that the ground had been used for burial pur- |
poses during many generations inform
ant vaguely stated for a thousand years or SO |
by the Mussulman community, but no at
tempt appears to have been made, within the
memory Of man, to keep the cemetery in
decent order. As the Mussulmans in Calcutta
are both numerous and wealthy, no excuse
can be offered for permitting the ancestral
purial-ground Of their race to remain in this
condition. But what can be said for
that state of civilization which allows the ex-
stence of such a foul place within short
walk OF the glorious "City of Palaces?
