from John Z. Mandley. She sets forth that She
was married on the 18th of March, 1884, by Rev.
DIR. Sunderland, and has had four children as
the fruit of their marriage. She states that
they lived happily until three years ago, when,
she SAYS, al eth street park, Mandley made the

terry with Der, occupying a room first on Nj

Mr.. Clymer. In the middle OF October, 1872,
he deserted his home entirely, and since that
has contributed little to their support and has
been living with Sally Clymer, on y street, be-
tween 18th and 18th streets. Ssllie claims that
he Is lawfully married to her, but was never

Trees.

Mr. Editor: With due Difference differ with
Messrs. Smith and BlundOn in their theory or
the culture of trees, in respect to trim ming them
II l understand them, they deem IL necessary TO
check the growth of the foliage by trimming
the tops to prevent them from exhaustiug the
roots, which if not prevented in that manner
will dry up and die. The root is undoubtedly
the life OF the tree, and any injury to it will
likely occasion death. The root is the common
sensorium, and any injury to any part of the
Tree will affect it in greater or less degree, and
II there Is not sufficient vitality in the root to
sustain the shock aud repair the damages, the
tree will decay and die. Ii 1 am right IN nv
theory, ~ is very hazardous to trim the tops of
young and tender trees to any considerable eS-
tent. Trees Of several years growth if they are
thrifty, will bear trimming, as it is evidence of
their roots having struck deep into the earth,
and that they have sufficient nourishment TO
sustain life and prevent any material injury
from loss of sap and lacerated and bru sed bark.
In my Judgment trees ought only be trimmed to
improve their symmetry, which is all that is ne
cessary to check their TOO rapid growth, and
give them strength and durability. Nothing |
have written land may be entirely wrougl is
intended in the slightest manner to reflect upon
Messrs. Smith and Bundon ,Iw no have contribu-
ted to the ornamentstion of the city. ARBoR.

The Tribune could not very well forget what
1t never knew. "The defenders of the District
government" have lot, 30 far as we have
knowledge, ever assured ybody that there
was no trouble about the pay of the District
teachers. On the contrary they have always
oonteDded that there was good deal of trouble
about providing the wherewithal for the sup
port of our school system with its enormous
burdens from having to educate the children of
the large proportion of non-tsx payers here
clerks, Congressmen, and contrabands. They
have maintained that the least Congress could
do In justice to the District was to give 1t such
an appropriation in the way of public lands for
the support of our public schools as they have
given 80 freely to other localities in the
country. OF course nobody expects from the
Tribune the fairness to represent the natter in
fts proper light, but Senator Thurman had the
manliness to do it in his remarks in the same
debate to which that paper refers.
