Paris, Sept II. The trial of the accom-
plices in the escape of Marshal Bazaine was
concluded at Grasse to-day. M. Lechand,
defending Col. Villette, said his clients con
duct i, the matter was the most honorable in
cident of his career. Col. Villette was type
of chiyalrous devotion to his chief. The
counsel then proceeded to examine the evil
dence in regard to the escape, and argued it
was in exact accordance with the account
given by Madame Bazaine. The Judge de-
livered lengthy explanatory judgment. He
considered the escape by the rope proved, but
declared that Col, Villette assisted in the
preparations. The wardens were adjudged
guilty of negligence. Rull, one of the &C
cused, who has not been arrested and who did
not appear for trial, was condemned in con
tumacion to ten months imprisonment. Col.
Villette and Plantin were sentenced to six
months; Doivean to two months, and Grou-
gex to one months Imprisonment.

50 of the rest. Let each pull the tops and
lay them between the hill and his feet, then
Dig the dirt from the hill upon them, digging
at the same time every weed and blade OF
grass, and covering all completely; by thus
doing you will get your pay three times for
ycur extra trouble. First, in the better state
of the land, as to cleanliness. Second its in
creased fertility, and third, i'll the gra,fca-
ton of your pride as you look back over the
field smooth as a garden and free from that
bane of all good farming, weeds.
Next, pick all the sizeable ones by them
selves, being careful to handle them with no
unnecessary bruising, put them in well
ventilated cellar and DO sure they are leveled
all over the bin alike, or if not be sure the
edges are the highest for so sure as the mid
die of the pile is the highest they will sweat,
which is not desirable. After this is done
cover them at least eight inches deep With
hemlock or cedar boughs, and my word for
it you will be so well pleased that you will do
the same again next year. T.
