MANAsExESr OF THE ORcHARD.-The follow. ing practical suggestions are from the pen Of M
 l.. Dunlap, of Illinois; To realize the best re-
 suits from an orchard, we should be careful in the selection of varieties; and we'll drained To. cality should be chosen, on which to plant the trees. The distance between the rows should not be small as to preclude the trees from obtain ing their full bearing capacity. and to make t difficult to gather the apples Neither should there be too much space. Twenty -four feet each way has been our practice of setting trccs, and we find it a suitable distance. If the land Is low and Aat. the land between the VOWS should be ploughed toward the trees, SO as to have the "dead furrow" In the center of the row. to allow the water to pass on freely. All the sprouts should be kept from the base Of the trees but we have not found it advisable to prune out the heads, as h iesscns the capacity for fruitfuiness
 and induces the growth of water sprouts. The orchard should be sheltered on the west and north by belts of rapid growing trees of desira
 ble varieties. We advise the planting of white | ash, American elm, sycamore and ash-leaf maple
 Varieties of the willow arc rapid growers, but ths tiulbes Is ot little value. -e -..

Information has reached us regarding some very heavy losses among the owners of sheep herds in this vicinity. Several persons residents on the Rio Puereo, had chosen the ranges of mountains near the Salinas de Zune to winter their focks In, not expecting such an exception ally severe winter as the one just passed the re- suit of their doing SO has been. they lost 12,500 bess sf sheep and 40 head of animais such as horses, mules aud donkeys. Among the losers are Mariana Herrera, who lost 800 Tranquilino Herrera, 900, and the sons of Salvador Herrera 1000 They report the snow as being hfty inch es deep where their herds were, and that these losses occurred from the 9th of February up to the present. They also say that In one instance herd of sheep was confined to the corral by snow without water or feed for ten days and that although the sheep were fat and strong neverthe- less large numbers perished.r Don Juan Armijo, son of Don Cristobii Armijo and brother of the late lamented Don Pedro Armljo, Of Los Gr.egos, also reports heavy losses among his herds, oae of which was very Sseouraging to him as an im- prover Of the present breed of sheep In this Ter. ritory. lt was the loss of all of his fine bloodcd bucks, including costly ram recently presented to him by friend, which he held In great esteem, having refused several offers of large sums for It.
 but in every instance refusing on account of his desire % possess superior class of animals E
 We cannot but sympathize with Don Juan and the others who have suffered SO heavily, and wish them better luck in the future. Yet It must not be taken for granted because these losses occurred this year, that New Mexicos climate is too se- we're for the purpose of breeding sheep; It will be remembered the past winter has been an un. usually severe one. in fact one, which our oldest people assert has been Me hardest one they re. membered, and therefore the losses reported are slight iu comparison to what might have been reasonably expected. also think they could have been m measure yoided if the owners had chosen Co winter their herds lB the warmer eli. mate Of our southern counties. It may be said that the pasture south was too pcar, and conse- quently they would be as liable lo ioo-s animals on that account, but results have shown that such au argument was groundess. AS not single case Of starvation among herds for want of pasture has been reported by our southern eoutempora- riee, but on the contrary we have been assured by persous who travelled in that section daring the past winter that stock of all klnds appeared to be in spiendid condition. Therefore lt would certainly be wiser to risk even a poor pasture in the southern counties than to suffer such losses as those reported--l Albuquerque review.

duce himself, we will take the liberty OF say
ing word or two about him before he makes
his appearance. He is still young, and always
will be, although he was well-known man OF
letters some thirty years ago. In the early
days of the Revolution of 1913 he presided at
the celebrated students banquet, and had the
honor of being beaten by M. OdilOn Barrot
as candidate for the Assembly. He took his
politics early in life, and has never had
second attack. lie was the most successful
manager which the Theatre Francais ever had'
and under his energetic and scholarly admin
stratiOn it attained q high prosperity ana
produced in rapid succession some OF the best
known plays in its repertoire. Since MS re-
tirement from that place his only official POSI-
ton has been that of an inspector in the de-
partment of Fino Arts. His works are tOo
numerous for our catalOgning, and too well
known to require mention. They embrace
successful ventures in every branch OF bellies
lettres, history, biography, literary and artistic
criticism. His rejection, many years ago
by the Academy, was the occasion OF one OF
the most charming pieces of critical biography
in the French language, his History OF the
"FOrty first Arm chair" which presents with
life-like vividness that brilliant company, into
which his defeat introduced him, which ex-
tends from Dcscartos to Beranger, and when
has since been increased hy worshipful addl-
tions. NJ. IIoussaye is perhaps the best known
literary figure of contemporary Paris, equally
at home in society, in the haunts OF literature
and art, OIL the boulevard, and in the green
room. He sees all there is to be seen, and las
his own incisiye opinion about it. and we
heartily congratulate our readers in having 50
genial and SO accomplished commentator to
interpret to them the varying phases OF the
great comedy of every day which, Paris plays
for its own amusement and that OF the world

THE FINANCIAL COMPROMISE.

The Senate, by a vote of 80 to H. has passed
the compromise agreed on by the caucus OF
the Administration Senators, and "the Cur
"rency question, at one time threatening to
"divide parties" is once mOre-we are quoting
the language Of Speaker Blaine-"in process
"of Happy Adjustment" This is the second
Happy Adjustment in the year 1874, and there
will probably be several more of them before
1879, and more yet before we have genuine
specie payments.
Senator Schurz, who voted yea on the passage
of the bill, vainly entreated Senator Sherman
to recommit the bill in order that some fea-
ture might be incorporated in it looking to
the restoration of specie payments. AS it is,
all that we have is a pledge from the party
which is apparently going out of power that
specie payments shall be resumed in 1879. 1t
is not the first pledge of the kind that has
been made, and we only hope that it will not
be broken as readily as all its predecessors.
The trouble is that the hard-mOney men get
nothing but pledges, while the Infationists
have 80 far had all the pudding.
A word as to the silver-resumptiOn feature.
BY the current quotations the small silver
coin of the United States commands from %
cents to 90 cents in gold per dollar. In other
words, new ten cent pieces and quarters of
the "token coinage" in use before the war
can now be sold at the rate of '93 cents in
gold per dollar, taking the lowest price. At
the current premium on gold, 90 cents in that
metal are worth 81 03 7-1Oth cents in paper,
so that the substitution of silver for fractional
currency would afford enterprising individuals
a profit of from three to five per cent on all
the small change they could collect and sell
to the brokers. This profit would rise and
fall with the premium on gold, and also with
the price of silver. The community, supposing
the provisions of the Sherman bill to become
o law, would be liable to pass through the
same experiences with regard to small change
which characterized the first year Of the war,
always supposing that, in the language of
President Grant, the silver is sure to "come
"out.n Perhaps, however, he might have
occasion again to "marvel that it is not out
"already.n
