BANKRUPTCY IN ENGLAND.-It seems that
the United States is not the only country in
which most of the bankrupt cases are handled
more to the advantage OF bankrupt officials
than anxious creditors. Thus in a late Eng
lish paper we find that in 1873 347 bankrupt
estates were wholly absorbed by legal costs;
that only % bankrupts were discharged out OF
4437 in four years; that 500 trustees were sum-
moned before the court. at the instance of
the controller for neglecting duty; that 10
trustees had been removed from office, 16 had
become bankrupt, 10 had been committed to
prison for contempt Of court. and Al were not
to be found; and finally, that the average cost
of realizing the assets was 6S per cent, while
in 1876 cases it was 100 per cent. The extent
of bankruptcy in England is shown by the
aggregate liabilities of the bankrupts, which,
in 1872, were GA, 287, 46S; in 1873 they were

dIHerence in the management of the fire
department of the different cities is
about as follows:
The chief engineers of the Boston and
Chicago departments ride to fires in
state, surrounded by a staff of assist.
ants. When they get within block oil
the burning building they halt and issue
their orders in this style: "Capt. Ben.
jamin Brownell, you will direct Captain
Jones, OF No. IA, to approach the fire
from the rear, and maintain that position
until further ORDERS"
The Chief engineer of the Cincinnati
Department gallops like Comanche In.
dian to the scene of the fire at the tap OF
the alarm bells, and when he reaches
the ground he merely observes: "Joe
Bunker, why in -, you White-headed
idiot, don't you take your line up the
ladder? Here, you web-tooted son of a
sea cook, yank on this line. Get out Of
that, you bloody skunk. Gimme-that

attention paid to the proprielies of the
English language by the last mentioned
"chef' but the example upon his men is
illustrated yearly by reference to the
report OF fire losses.

Lost on the Prairie-The Trail Obiiterated b!
the Wlnd-A Boy Frozen TO Death,

The GreeleyTribune says: A bout noon
on Wednesday last. Andrew Smith, u
| teamster, started from Mark L. Blunt's
rahche, on the st. Charles, to 90 to the
q, dars, near the Bull Corral, t0r load
of posts. lie took with him Joseph
Green, about thirteen years old. On
| their arrival at the point designated
they established camp, made a fire,
and left their bedding and extra cloth
| ing. They then started with their team
| lor the place where the posts were lying,
intending to load up and return to camp
| that night. They loaded the wagon and
had travelled some distance toward their
camp, when some portion of the wagon
broke down, and Smith, leaving the boy
III Charge of the team, started for camp
to get a rope with which to tie up the
mules. He arrived at the camp, found
the rope, tied the mules, and he and the
boy tried to find their way to camp, iol-
lowing the trail i'll the snow previously
made by Smith. They went short dis
tance toward camp, when the wind be-
gan to blow with such power that the
trail was soon obliterated, and the two
unfortunates discovered to their horror
that they were lost on the prairie.
After wandering for some time in the
darkness, it being intensely cold, and
Smith having lett mis- coat at camp, they
found their way into the cedars. Here
Smith gathered splinters and brush and
tried to make fire, but the wind blew
them out, his benumbed hands being
powerless to defend the flame. A gain
they resumed their wanderings, until the
boy, overcome by that extreme drowsi-
ness which always precedes death by
freezing, declared he could 60 no fur
ther. Smith then took him on his back
and carried him, he thinks for about
three hours, when he found him to be
dead. The boy was then laid under
cedar tree, and the place marked as well
as possible. This was near day on
Thursday morning. Smith wandered
about nearly all day on Thursday, and
when. night came succeeded in finding |
his way to the house of Mexican living
on the Huerfano, where he was kindly |
taken in. On Friday he started to find |
his team and the body Of young Green.
Alter searching all day both were found, |
the boys face bearing evidences OF an |
almost painless death, and the mules
nearly ready to die from starvation and |
cold. When the mules We're found they |
had almost eaten up the wood rack on |

There are certain Well-known laws ii
vegetable growth which should be kept
in mind, and occasionally brought into
notice, serving as hints to those whC
may be ignorant, or forgettul OF their ap
pication.
Unproductive fruit trees may often be
brought into bearing by process which
has long been known, but which has
lately received more attention, VIZ: by
bending down the erect, upward growing
! branches in horizontal or dropping pO-
sition, and keeping them so, through one
growing season, so rs to give them per-
manent shape.
| IL is related of grape-yines--one train
ed vertically, one obliquely upward, one
horizontal and one downward, that the
| last bore the heaviest crop. Many years
ago l had pear tree which grew vigo-
| rOusly, pushing annually strong upright
shoots, but never towering. BY attach
ing weights to three or Iour Of these up-
right limbs so as TO bend them down
wards and keep them in that position
all summer, the over luXuriant growth
was arrested, and flower buds formed !;
fruit, whilst other vertical limbs remain
ed unlruitiul.
The rationale of this is, that the flow or
sap is most abundant in tue upright or
vertical growth, and the tendency then
Is to form wood and leaves only. This
is the case with all vigorous young trees.
1t is not until the linus begin to assume
arooping position that bearing begins.
The reproductive organs of a plant
(howers and seed vessels) are only
metamorphosel leaves-leaves arrested in
their normal growth and transformed
into calyx, corolla and fruit. Anything
Z har hut phc inc
excessively vigorous growth oil plant,
has a tendency to throw it into fruit
bearing condition. That W Eich would
have gone into leaf and wood is diyerted
into more profitable channels.
The practical farmer and fruit grower
know this very we'll, though they may be
ignorant of the reason.
Cotton is topped to arrest the upward
luXuriant growth, and to force the sap
into the horizontal branches, which be-
ing retarted is developed into flowers
and 1ruit. Many of our garden vegeta-
bles may be over-stlmuiated by high ma
nuring, so as to run into leaf and stem at
the expense OF the truit.
We must keep this principle in view, |
viz: that excessive luXurIance tend to |
the formation OF leaf and woody fibre |
{ the increase in size of the individual |
pIant) and that 1t Is not until this luXu-
rance is disturbed and somewhat i'm
paired that flowers and iruit are develop
Ell, (the reproduction of species).
1t is found too, that when practicable,
as in the case Of grape vines, the limbs
should be trained straight horizontally
and not curved, When straight, the flow
Jf sap is uniform throughout, and all the
1uds are developed alike; If curved, the
lppermost buds get too much, and the
over too little nourishment, so that the
bject in a measure is defeated.
This principle IN vegetable physiology
8 of wide application, and the obser- .
ant culturisJ Will be able to see in it the
XplaDation OF many things, which other
wise would have been obscure. |:
