The commercial vitality of France
would seem to be proof against every
embarrassment. The custOmhouse ag-
thorities have just published their state
ment of the commerce of that country
for the eleven months ending December
4, 1873. The total movement of exports
and imports was 8,S45,28I 900 francs, an
increase of 157, 100000 francs over the
corresponding period of 1872. The i'm
ports were 3,239,859,0 600 francs; the ex-
ports 3,605,402,0OO. France, during
eleven months, has thus sold for
355, 000 900 francs more than she bought,
ANOTHER proof of the wonderful vitality
of this nation under excessive taxation
and, not unfrequently, the most dis
couraging political difficulties also.

YOUNG APPLE TREEs.-The Prairie
Farmer gives the following good advice
regarding pruning and management of
young apple ~trees!
I. We would let them alone until the
latter part of February or a little longer
if still quite cold then prune as follows:
Leave the most central and strongest
branch as a leader, to grow as nearly
straight as may be and prolong the
trunk, shortening it a little if required.
Subordinate to this all the other
branches by cutting out and shortening
in so that your trees will grow with one
main stem from which all the other
branches diverge as nearly as may be
at right angles, but no two of them
close together. This kind of tree will
break down less, will protect itself from
winds and sun longer and be more en-
during than trees with a "crOtch" at a
given hsight.
Q. Ashes tend to keep off borers soap
rubbed over the bottom of the trunk or
soft soap heated and put on with a
brush in May is better. Oiled naper
tied close about the lower part of tree
and even mounding ia spring and then
leveling the earth in August is good.
The trees should be examined, however,
in autumn and the borers that have
affected q Judgment kill. .m.v %
8. II we used wind breaks we would
plant fast growing deciduous trees,
cottonwood, white ash and soft maple
outside, and Norway spruce in their
shelter on inside of these.

Acorrespondent ofthe jackson (Miss.)
News tells how Gen. jackson got his til
tie of Old Hickory. He says he got the
story from Capt. William Allen, u near
neighbor of the General, and who mess
ed with him during the Greek war.
During the campaign the soldiers were
moving rapidly to surprise the Indians,
and were without tents. A cold March
rain came on, mingled with sleet, which
lasted for several days. Gen. Jackson
got a severe cold, but did not complain,
as he tried to sleep in the muddy bot
tom among his half frozen soldiers.
Capt. Allen and his brother John cut
down d stout hickory tree, peeled offtfe
bark, and made q covering for the Gen
eral, who was with difficulty persuaded
TO crawl into it. The next morning a
drunken citizen entered tile camp, and,
seeing the tent, kicked it over. As
Jackson crawled from the ruins, the to-
per cried: Hello, Old Hickory! come

A Virginia member of Congress had
introduced a resolution looking to the
finishing of a monument Over the re-
mains of Mary, the mother of Washing
ton, which repose in the burial ground

years ago with great ceremony, General
Jackson and other distinguished men be-

has been done toward building the
shaft. 1t would perhaps be better, sug-

until we complete the monument of
General Washington beforeerecting bic

At one time the democratic papers in
sisted that the State warrants should
never be paid. When Auditor Clinton
began paying the warrants at fifty to
sixty cents on the dollar, then the flu
sion papers wanted the warrants cashed
at their face value, and not at what
they were worth in the market. The
same course has been pursued with the
bonds of the State. Everybody recol-
lects when these same newspapers were
opposed to paying the bonds. Now
that Governor Kellogg has succeeded
in having q law passed to reduce the
bonded debt of the State, and thereby
reduced the taxes, and at the same
time dispose Of the bonds fraudnlently
issued, the fusion papers are ~censuring

extent that they have entirely forgotten
