Rhubarb.
The Germantown Telegraph says a
good word for rhubarb : There Is a
large class who are fond of this. 1t is
among the earliest green things and,
though no one classes it amongst the
choicest of horticultural gifts, in the
abstract, vet on account of its early
growth it will always be esteemed. It's
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
1t by putting barrels over the roots
This keeps out the cold and, as the
rhubarb Is stimulated to grow by very
little heat, the natural warmth Of the
ground brings it up if the frost is kept
out of the ground. Then the barrels
help to blanch it a little, and it is not
quite so sour as when left to grow
naturally in its own way Rhubarb Is
poor stuff when stringy, and it is the
aim Of good growers to have it as pulpy
as possible. Therefore the soil is to be
made as rich as possible-as good as
manure can make it. When grown in
this way, even the outside is tender,
and 1t may be cut up for use without
even peellng, as Is so often done. Some
varieties are, however, more tender
than others. There are, however, four
popular kinds which, when well grown,
are all of about equal value. These are
the Victoria, Linn8us, Magnum Bo-
mum, and Prince Albert. The Linnaus
is the best known, not because It is any
better than the others named, but sim
ply because some men who happened
to have a large stock of it, some years
ago. hit on the brilliant idea of pushing
it off as the ''wine plant, and thus a
demand was especially created for this
one, thereby cutting out, by this bril-.
liant trick of the trade, other men who
had large stocks of other varieties.
Only the A." Linn8us was thus made
the true Simon Pure.
Rhubarb Is very rapidly increased by
cutting an old "crown to pieces. If
these are split downward on line with
the growth of the root, every piece of
root will grow, though it be split into a
score of pieces but pieces of root will
not grow unless there is a portion of
the crown with it. The crown is the
upper portion or 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 feet
square is enough-that is to say, the
plants should grow two feet from one
another every way. As the rhubarb is
gross feeder, if they be put closer than
this they viii likely starve one another.

the recent bloody and shocking col
lIsions between the two races have
Occurred in States like Kentucky and
Tennessee, where thu White poopula-
tion is so large that it has nothing to
Year from the political ascondcncy or
the physical preponderance Of the
negroes. In neither Of these States
do the blacks even old the balance
OF power between the two PARTIES.
Both are securely democratic by ma.
Jorities which cannot be shaken with
the aid of the negro vote. The legis.
lation of such States is in the Hands

els of States like South Carolina and
Louisiana, where the colored inhabi-
tants are II majority. Surely there
ought not to be any chronic trouble
with the negroes in Kentucky and
Tennessee, where the white SUI uprema-
cy can SO easily be maintained
through tho ballot box, and where
law and order, regular trials and only
legal punishments would be expected
from the constitution Of society and
the numerical proportion Of tho two
races. While it is just caase of
alarm that bloody outbreaks have
taken place in such communities, let
us hope that that they arc merely nc.
cidental local disturbances, which the
sentiment Of order in those States iu-
dignantly disapproves and which their
authorities Will promptly punish,
making them warming aud terror
to the evil disposed. The Governor
Of Kentucky has acted with praise
worthy energy, and it is to be hoped
that tho authorities Of Tennessee will
imitate his example. But when ex-
cited passions aud the animositics of
race lead to such outrages in the bor-
der States, where the negroes are few
and destitute Of political power, there
is reason for the gravest a apprehensions
as to what violent ond desperate men
may be impclled by their blind, un-
reasoning passions to do in those
States further south, where negro in
bolence and white evaporation are in
