said two questions were raised; First,
whether the desire manifested by General
de Goyon to obtain the title OF Due de
Feltre, either for himself or his son. was
supported by any shadow of right and
next, whether in the absence OF any
right, an act OF imperial favor authoriz-
ing the General to take up the title was
likely to be favorably received by public
opinion. As to the question there could
be no doubt. The title was extinct.
The Due de Feltre died, leaving three
sons, who all died without issue. and one
daughter married to Due de Fezensac.
A daughter Of this marriage, Oriane de
fezensac, became Confess de Goyon.

The Emperor could, il he so pleased,
authorize either the Comte de Goyon
or his son to assume the title and bear
the arms OF the Due de Feltre. But
such an authorization would in reality
be not revival, but creation. Now,
the question for his Majesty TO consider

After all, neither the bad writer, the
weary compositor, nor the vindctive
proof-reader is always to blame for
newspaper errors. There is an evil
spirit who presides at every printer s

that reverses the meaning OF sentence
and makes il say precisely the opposite
OF what was intended. The most intel.
ligent compositor in the world could not
hit the words necessary to make the
complete changes that are made in put

is easy enough to mistake a word, but to
always light upon one that can take its

AN INCIDENT IN THE SIEGE OF VICKs
BURG.
From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletinl
A she'll came screaming through the air
Ger Vieksburg's hills of fame;
II burst above low redoubt,
A fort without a name.
A binding fash, sudden crash,
A cloud lit up with flame,
And then the soft night wind passed by
In darkness, as 1t came.
A sentry paced upon the mound,
Placed there but for the night,
In silence walked the lonely round
No comrade was in sight;
A fragment from the bursting she'll,
As arrow. swi lift and slight.
Passed through the soldiers faithful heart,
And stayed not in its fight.
Alasl none knew the soldiers name,
Twas not upon the roll.
And Of his country's martyred men,
Twill not be on the scroll
But by one lonely freside
They i pray for his poor soul,
AS deeply as by marble vaults,
Or where the church bells toll
Three hundred at Thermopyle
Fell nobly in the fight,
Thy name alone, Leonidas,
Falls blaz0ned on the sight,
But their undying spirits all
Shine through long years Of night,
And still illume each patriot heart
With Freedoms heavenly light.

Fruit in CeyIon.

A CEYLoN correspondent of the Boston
Transcript writes: "All vegetable life
seems to flourish here most luxuriantly.
The cocoa palm we see everywhere along
the coast, and it, with the breadf fruit
tree, the yak tree, the banyan, and now
and then a teak or cottonwood tree,
make up great part of the woody
growth. forgot to add the areca palm,
from which the betel nut is obtained.
This is smaller than the cocoa palm, but
nearly as high and always perfectly
straight. The nuts grow in large punches
and are about the size of lemon before
the outside skin is taken off. The bread
fruit is about the size of two fists. 1t
has a green, rough skin, and when
cooked tastes like sweet potato, but
not so sweet. The mango is about the
size Of an orange, has a green, thick skin
and large stone in the center. The
flowers here are very beautiful and in
great variety. The cocoanut tree seems
to be even more useful to these people
than the bamboo is to the japanese. The
nut is used for food and drink, the shell
for dishes. The outside envelope is put
into water and rotted; then dried,
pounded, and the strong fiber is woven
into ropes and mating. The meat is
also pressed for the oil. The leaves of
the tree are used for roofs, fences, and
to make rough baskets. The sap affords
tody' and sugar. The wood also serves
good purposes. The palm leaf is used
to protect the cocoanuts from thieves. 1t
is held vertically against the trunk, and
the ends of the leaflets are tied together on
the other side of the trunk. This is done
before the nuts are ripe; it afterward
becomes dry and if anyone attempts to
climb the tree he cannot avoid rafting
this crisp leaf, which warns the owner.
The banana is twelve or fifteen feet high.
1t bears one bunch and is then replaced
by new shoot. Sometimes a stone is
seen hanging from the end of the bunch
of bananas, which is said to draw the
sap into them and make them develop
more fully. The pineapples are not so
good as those we had at Singapore, as
thew grow wild"

have, of paralysis. What shall l dc!'
The answer was: Diminish the tension

no fear of tearing them in weak place
Now. this expresses In plain terms the
exact cause of apoplexy in the great
majority of instances; and it is one, too,
which everyone has it in his power to
preyent. A blood vessel of the brain
from causes which will presently be
mentioned, has lost some of its elastic
strength; food is abundant, digestion is
good: blood is made in abundance, but
little is worked off by exercise; the ten
sion on every artery and vein is max
imum rate: the even, circuitous flow is
temporarily impeded at some point,
throwing a dangerous pressure on anoth'
er; the vessel which has lost its elastic
strength gives way, blood is poured out,
clot is formed, which, by its pressure
on the brain, produces complete uncon'
seriousness. This is the apoplectic stroke
1t will be perceived that there are two
leading conditions upon which the pro
duction of the stroke depends: lessened
strength in the vessel and an increased
tension on it.-Popular Science Monthly

Growing Turnips.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Neu England
Farmer says he grows turnips in this
way: When a load of manure was ready
for the field, we would scatter it over
with turniP seed and then lay it out in
the hill, then drop the corn, until we had
planted three acres in this way. When
we hoed the corn we pulled out all the
turnips but one to each hill, and those
left grew finely. The manure used was
taken from the hog-pen, comnosd largely
of swamp muck, which had been worked
over, and had been the receptacle Of all
the Stops and suds from the house for
nearly a year. We had also another
patch which was devoted exclusively to
turnips, and in the fall We harvested as
fine lot of rutabagas and white Swedes
as one could wish to see, and now we are
feeding them to our cattle. do not
know as they contain much nutriment
but do know that the cattle like them
and we think that they are good fol-
them. l do not claim that We can get a
better crop of corn by raising turnips
with it, but think we can get more value
from an acre.

Manuring the Soil About Fruit Trees.

CONCERNING this important. subject,
Casper Hitler, of Canestoga, Pa, writes
Chemistry has satisfactorily demon
strated that the alkaline earths found in
the ashes of plants and their fruits must
abound in the soil, or good trees and
good fruit cannot be expected. Potash,
lime and phosphate of lime enter largely
into the apple, pear, peach and grape,
and all virgin soils naturally contain
these in greater or less degree. 1t is
estimated that 100 pounds of these aka
line earths are taken out of each acre an
nually by a crop of tobacco Wheat,
corn, potatoes, trees and fruits all take
up large amount of this food, and we
need, therefore, not be surprised that our
apple trees are short-lived and our fruit
imperfect. Stable manure, as our own
experience has shown, will not supply
in sufficient quantity the alkaline salts
OF which we robbed our orchards by in
judicious cropping. We can see evil
dence of this from the fact that no
orchard can be successfully raised on the
site of an old one. These losses can
probably be made up by judicious use of
lime or phosphate of lime, ashes or
potash, charcoal, etc. No general rule
can be given for the application of these
special manures, because we do not yet
know enough about it to lay down regu-
lar formula. But we might say, as did the
doctor, quantity sufficient" Some soils
may want much, others little, and some
one kind and some another. Two
pear trees that had for years brought no
good fruit were made to yield fine fruit
by digging a trench few feet from the
trees and filling it with suds mixed with
two bushels of charcoal and two pounds
of potash. A successful grower of the
peach scrapes the soil from the base of
the tree and pounds half peck or more

of fresh lime around them. Old peach
trees have been renovated BY pouring 9
few quarts Of hot I've afotnd them. Five
or six years ago Thomas Mehan planted
an experimental orchard of l. 500 trees
apples, pears, peaches, cherries ana
grapes-and from the start put 1t into
grass and has since annually taken on
over two tons of hay per acre. Ihose
who have seen 1t pronounce 1t model OF
perfection. But he tells US he gives il a
liberal top dressing of manure annually,
and, besides, gives his trees light
mulching of earth taken from bitches,
fence-corners, etc. If trees and plants
would generally flourish under sucn a
course of treatment we could adopt 1t
with profit. Our hillside orchards would
no longer be subject to have the loose
cultivated soil washed away by every
heavy shower of rain, and the saving in
labor, hoeing, wedding, etc, in our grape
patches would be sufficient to pay for all
needed fertilizers.-N. 7. Herald.
