can Judge, is not based on empty pre-

about the potency of its tonic and alter

great negative recommendation of con-

From time to time we have heard
more of the singular blight which has
been discovered upon some kinds of
fruit trees since the great storm of a
month ago. We have been greatly in
terested in the following letter received
from Hon. Josiah Shull, of lion, Sec
rotary of the State Dairymen's Associa.
ton. Mr. Shull writes
" send you by this mail, branches
OF the apple and pear tree, withered
and dead, as you find them, taken from
the trees in the village of Mohawk. All
through the village, the singular phe-
nomenon is presented The apple and
pear trees have isolated branches, vary
ing, say, from three inches to three feet
IN length, scattered all through many
OF the trees, some trees containing but
a few and others hundreds of those
branches. The parts of the trees not
affected, appear perfectly thrifty-the
fruit full size for the time of the season.
This state of things was noticeable inn
mediately after the great storm of the
18th Of June. | attribute it to the ef
fects of electricity. The whole locality
must have been highly charged to have
been so uniformly affected. 1t is not
the effect of bolt or chain. or the
whole of the trees would have been
Killed. In one case, small pear tree
standing sheltered by two large cherry
trees, at least one-third Of all the
branches were killed-bramches CON
tanning small pears, as seen by the sam
pie sent you. The cherry trees were
not affected, as | could find. MANY of
those branches have the appearance of
being exposed to a fire. While the
whole tree was exposed, certain por-
tons only, Were injured and killed.
There is much wonderment and spec
ulation as to the cause of the dead
branches so suddenly, so mysteriouslv.
and so extensively appearing in the an
pie and pear trees. L have thought it
proper subject of inquiry, as to the
cause, and of its prevalence, and of its
local character. 1t certainly is not
caused by insects-it must be atmos-
pheric, according to my belief. A wear
or two ago, branches of apple trees
affected, were exhibited AT a
meeting of the Central New York Farm
ers' Club, but in that case, | think, no
definite conclusion us to the cause was
arrived at.
| should be pleased to have vour
opinion, and ofthose having thoroughly
studied the subject Of the effects of
electricity. JOSIAH SKULL.

Being rooted like trees in one place,
Our brain-foliage toss'd
Like the leaves of the trees that are caugl
BY the four winds of heaven, some though
Blows out Of the world into space,
And seems lost.
We fret, the mind labors heart bleeds;
We believe and we fear,
We believe and we hope-in lie,
Or the truth; or we doubt till we die

With a sheer

Each to self an infallible priest,
And says to his brother, "Thou fool!

But fall'n like trees from our place.

Our dead leaves are raked up for mold,
And some that were sun-ripe and gold,
Blown out of the world into space,

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
How TO Tie In n Fleece,

A regular wool dealer, who thorough.
ly understands the subject, says that
the proper way to tie up a fleece of wool
is to lay the fleece ON the table, turn IN
the head and tail, and turn in the
TANKS, and roll it up commencing at the
tail end, tying it with two strings to
keep the roll in place, and then with
one string across the ends. This is
sufficient. A fleece thus tied is light,
easily handled and examined, and can
he felt all through. Itdoes not require
a thorough examination to determine
whether there is anything in it that is
not wool.

Not Quite 80 Fast, MIR. JOnes!-A horse
doctor in Philadelphia was caught changing the
celebrated Mexican Mustang Lintment into other
BOTTLES, and using it as his own recipe. Honesty
is always the best policy. These medicine men
like TO follow up such fellows. It cured the lame
horse all the same; but 1t damaged the Doctors
reputation, and benefited the proprietor in pro-
portion. We have heard Of so many Rheumatic
persons and lame horses being cured by the Mus
tang Liniment that we advise every housekceper
liyeryman and planter 20 invest in a 30 CT. or a
500 bottle against accident. Beware Of counter

Total rolled iron, net tons. .1,9il,992 $4,000
The estimated production in ISL Of
rolled iron other than rails was given
by this Office at 10000 net tons.
The product Of the FORCES and
bloomaries of the country, strictly so
called, Is estimated Mt IS. 000net tons in
1872, and $4,000 tons IN 1873.
There were produced in the United
States IN 1872 about $4,000 net tons of
cast steel, and in 1873 there VIII be pro-
duced about >, 800 tons. In 1871 there
were converted 5000 net tons of Bes-
semer steel; in 1872, 1850 tons. and
1873 It is estimated that there VIII be
converted 10000 tons. About s. per
cent. Of the BeSsemer steel that is now
converted IN American works passes
into rails
There are men of much general in
teligence who believe that high import
duties on iron and steel are working a
large annual increase of iron and steel
production. Protection.by a high tax
on all consumers is justified in theory
at least, by this assumption. But what
are the facts as stated by the monopo-
lists themselves? They produced
million tons in 1872" and twenty
thousand tons less in 1873, to supply
the wants of a larger population! They
made 81 1872 tons Of iron and steel
rails in 1872, and $4,000 tons in 1873.
A falling off of 81 1872 tons in one
year, when the price Of iron in Eng
land shut out competition. The COM
paratiye exclusion Of foreign iron and
steel IN 1873, should have augmented
the industry that produces American
iron and steel, but instead Of this, we
find the monopolists reducing thei1s out
put Of these useful metals nearly one
hundred thousand tons. They turned
out a total Of 1911, 1872 tons in 1872,
and l $4,000 in 1873. In 1872 they
made $4,000 tons of cast steel, and in
1873 only $4,000 tons. Thenotion that

make bread cheap and plenty by giving
a few spectators possession of all the
grain, flour and meal in the country,
with a law of Congress to exclude all
foreign breadstuffs except at high tax,
is Just as sensible as what the country
is now doing to obtain iron and steel
at a fair price from a few Unsuitable
monopolists. The worlds great expe-
rience teaches a falsehood, if free and
honest competition in trade and indus
try is not better for all nations and
people than endless restrictions, tax
alton, mean, selfish and narrow legisla-
ton. Some attempt to justify lying
and stealing by authority of law, be-
cause some other nation has done
wrong and may continue to do so.

vANnERRILT UNIVERSITY.

Referring to the partial organization
of the faculty of Vanderbilt University
bv the Trustees at their meeting IN
Memphis last week, the proceedings Oh
which meeting are printed in another
partof to-day's UNION AND AMERICAN
the Memphis Appeal says: 1.-Two de-
partments were organized by the cleo
ton of gentlemen of high qualifications
forthepositions assigned them. DR.. SUM-
mers. the first named on the hst' Is
well-known throughout the South as
the book-editor, whose name appears on
the title-pase of almost all the publlca-
tions of the book-house at Nashville.
Justly regarded one of the most
scholarly and ablest divines OF his
church, a devoted and conscientious
student of the Bible and biblical lItera-
ture, he cannot fail to prove an import
ant acquisition in the outset of an en-
terprise that has enlistened thebest busl-
ness talent of the South to make the mu-
nifcent endowment of Mr.. Wander
bilt available to the fullest ex-
tent, as he intended. DIR. Shipp, at
present President of Wofford College,
enjoys national reputation as scho-
lar and divine. DIR. Garland is one of
the Faculty of the University of Mis-
sissippi, guarantee of the wisdom OF
his selection for his chair, and the
CHARACTERISTIC, devolving, as that posi-
ton will, very grave duties in connec-
ton with the organization and conduct
of the University. President Wills, OF
Central College, Missouri, is highly
spoken of for his attainments IN his
speciality, as is President Lupton, OF
the University of Alabama. Taken al
together, we think the names of these
gentlemen are a sound guarantee OF
the future of the Vanderbilt Universe
ty, indicating great capacity for and
care in selection on the part of the
trustees, and a promise that the other
chairs viii be filed by gentlemen of
the highest rank in the professions

THE following is from the KnosUHc
Press and Herald: Virginia's new
Senator. Col Robert E. Withers, of
Wytheville, has only figured in politics
since the war. During the civil strife
he commanded the eighteenth Virginia
regimen t. and it is recorded, as an ev-
idence of his gallantry on the field, that
he was wounded nineteen times. In
January, 1866, he assumed the chief
editorial charge Of the LyacltJUrg Nc1rs,
then Just established, and continued
his journalistic duties for about two
wears. Col. Withers opposed the
Walker movement" IN 1859, and gave
no encouragement to the Liberal move
mcnt of 1872. He is a ready speaker,
and is popular throughout the State by
his addresses on the stump and his mil
itary service. In the recent State cleo
ZION he was elected Lieutenant Gov
ernor by over $4,000 majority. He is
a representative Virginian CT the old
school, and viii doubtless represent
his State with signal ability.
