STATE DEBTS IN DEFAULT.

The steady decrease in the amount of
American securities negotiated in Lon
don has excited great deal of attention
in this country. Last month there were
no payments at all to be made in Lon
don, and this month the amount of the
new American loan negotiated is, so far,
below s., 900, GOO or IS, O0O, 900, which has
been the monthly average since the
panic. One has not far to look for this
indispOsition of English capitalists TO
continue lending us money, and for their
preference of Turkish, and East Indian
securities. To go no farther, the default
in the railroad and State debts is a suffi-
cient explanation. As we have before
shown in these columns, the
number of railroads in default
is over one hundred, and the
principal and interest in default is near
" $3.50, OOO,O The total amount of
State debts is $685., $40, sly, of which
1854, 732, 600 are in default, and OF this
S54, ia, 900 are held abroad. The follow
ing table, recently published by the
Commercial and Financial Chronicle,
presents the total amount of the debt OF
each State, the amount estimated to be
held by foreigners, the amount of bonds
in default, and the proportion of these
believed TO be held abroad. The figures
for the total debt and the amount in de-
fault are well asceTtained, but the amount
of bonds held are, in some cases, neces-
ssrily estimates:

How they Got Suddenly Rich,

One Of the chief characteristics of tn
present administration, and which diStin
guishes it from all others that have pre-
viously existed, is that every member Of il

with proofs of the most astounding kind.
If these were mere partisan allegations
and unsupported, they would long ago have
died the death of all calumny and ceased
to leave any impression on the public
mind, But they have been reiterated with
such evidence and SO corroborated by facts
and circumstances as to fix the conviction
of guilt.
Congress undertook to investigate the
transactions of Black Friday, in which
the President figured most discreditably
through his therin-law, Corbin, who
was operating in the interest of Fisk and
Gould to restrain the action of the treas
ury, and who actually sent S25 900 to the
White House as the proceeds of that con.
nection.
The President refused to appear before
the committee or to make any explanatory
statement, and after Mr.. Garfield waited
on him personally, like servant to take
orders, instead of asserting the rights and
dignity Of the; House of Representatives
the committee stopped at the critical point,
closed ITS doors, and made the usual white
washing report
Since Mr.. Fish has been secretary of
state it is notorious that his son-in-law Sid
pey Webster, has acted as the counsel of
the Spanish legation, and substantially con.
trolled the policy at Washington by which
the atrocities OF the Spanish officials il
Cuba have been condoned, and the Cuban
patriots, after six years of brave struggle
have been denied sympathy or recognition
The last secretary of the treasury wa
driven out of Office by universal demand
for his personal completely in the SanboT

CultiVating Fruit Trees.

I do not think so much depends upon
the season of planting as upon the mode
and after treatment. | am in the habit
of planting about three inches deeper
than the trees stood in the nursery, and
six inches below the level of the sur
rounding soil This is done to secure a
basin around the tree, by which the rain
fall is invited to the vicinity of the roots.
Moisture is the life of the newly-set tree.
After the soil is well wet about the roots,
mulch freely with straw and manure. If
the planting has been done in the spring,
leave the mulch till about the first of
September, at which time remove it from
the tree two or three feet, replacing it
just before winter. About the first of
May remove the mulch a little from the
tree, leaving it there to rot. After the
third year, we advise a renewal of the
mulching. If you plant on a hillside
throw up earth on the lower side of the
tree, to detain the water in the vicinity of
the roots.
If the bOrer makes its appearance while
the bark is yet thin apply turpentine, and
if after the bark has thickencd puncture
the bark as near the borer as you can and
introduce turpentine. This will destroy
the enemy at once.
VIC hOtlOC many OICndIhS NIltib nave
been kept in cultivation where ridge is
thrown up on each side of the row OF
trees and a firm blue grass sod on this
ridge. This prevents moisture from reach.
ing the roofs, and the tree is literally
starved. No man can succeed with fruit
trees by this plan.
Remove the sod and the ridge, so regu
lating the surface that water can pene
trate in the vicinity of the roots; other
wise your fruit will dwarf, fall from the
tree, and will be tough and worthless.
/ have seen trees loaded with fruit which
for the want of due nourishment fell of
prematurely, and was of no value, for the
| reasons above given.
The writer owned an orchard in Indi
ana, portion being on hillside and por
| tion on level land. The portion on the
hillside dropped their leaves and fruit
before frost. Those on level land re-
mained green and thrifty l removed
earth from above the trees to the lower
side, and in due time, after rains had
moistened the roots, the appearance OF
the trees and fruit changed, and from
that time the trees on the hillside did
we'll.
We know that no kind of growth car
be vigorous without abundant nourish
ment, and fruit growers should consider
that fruit trees that are expected to bear q
| fair amount of fruit are no exception &c
this rule. BY attending to this nourish-
ment, and trimming properly--and | pre-.
| fer to trim trees about the time the sap Is
rising-we will have no trouble abou
