Book AGENTS.-W believe il right
and just to encourage our people in read
ing useful books, but We cannot recon-
mevd agents who canvass the country for
the sale of books for which they ask two
or three times tn" ordinary price of SINH
lar works. For book worth one dollar,
or one dollar and twenty-five cents ut
most, you are asked to pay two dollars
and fifty cents, and in the same proper
tion for larger works. This is certainly
an imposition, and the people should not
patronizc II business OF that kind With
in II year or two from their first publica-
ton, such books usually find their way
into the market at about half the subscrip-
ton price. Hereafter, when importuncd
by book agent, ifyou desire his book.
offer what You really think it worth, and
if he refuses to sell, let him go to "graSs.'

The low price Of grapes this autumn
is said to have been due more to the wide
circuit from which the fruit was shipped
to eastern markets than to the great
yield in our vineyards The New York
Times says that, owing to the fall in
prices, vineyards in that State which
have been worth $1,000 per acre.
will now bring only from 800 to
500 per acre. 1t seems in this
reduction of values an opportunity TO
secure Il cheap native wine, not stronger
than Burgundy, which shall take fireplace
of spirituous liquors and contaminate
drinking water. The reform to be work
ed by thisAmcrican clarct is ''doublc back

liquors, sanitary as against drinking

have won and lost the following:

The Red Stockings are again cham
pions for the third time in succession.
For the fourth time in the history of the
professional association the :Mutuals are
second, while the Athletics take the third
position again, the same place they had
last year. The Philadelphia club, which
was second at the end of the season in
1873, are fourth, and the Chicago White
Stockings, on whom so much was wager
ed by the Lake citizens, and the majority
of whose players so uncercmoniously re-
signed from the Philadelphia club early
in 1874, come in fifth. So much for en-
gaging players who cannot work
together tremendously, and pre-
senting men in the field against
whom there were suspicious of
dishonest dealing. The nutmegs, of
Hartford, came last, with Bob Ferguson's
great educational team for developing
the qualities of enthusiastic amateurs
ahead of them The Atlantics were par
ticularly unfortunate, especially in the
positions of second base and catcher,
and had they been strong in the places
named, would probably made a better
showing in the list. The poor Balti-
mores gave up the ghost, defeat after
defeat, and reduced treasury, caused
the members of that team to hunt for
something else than leather before the
season WAS over.
The following shows the number Of
games played by each club and the num-
her that were won:

ROSES FOR CHRIsTMAs.-1f you want
a few roses to flower at or about Christ
mas or New Year time, select now Il few
of the tea, hybrid, China and Bourbon
varieties. Take, say Agrippina, Louis
PHILIPPE, Mad. Bosanquct, Bougerc and
Sombrcnil. Obtain good plants if you
can, grown in the open ground, that have
not bloomcd; pot them, cut them back to
four inches, let them stand in cool place
for two weeks. then bring them gradually
to the light and give them, if you cam
more heat at the bottom of the pot than
the top. Do not let them have too strong
sun at midday, unless they are in full
leaf and moist of earth without being
wet As they grow, when the short stems
are four inches long, pinch off the ends.
and continue this practice until they com
mcnce to bloom.

able to meet his liabilities, which amount
to between twenty-five and thirty thou

Rumor was rife upon the street this
morning that one or two of our leading
capitalists would be materially affected
by the suspension, but We learn from a
reliable source that this rumor is ground
less, and, although several parties here
will probably suffer loss. there is no one
