FEES AND PEBQUIsITEs.

Much complaint is made by the taZ-pay-
crs Of the State at the amount of fees and
parquisites received by many o~fice-holders
in Tennessee. The compensation of all
pgbIic servants should be reasonable, but
l0placa should have attached to il such an
income as viii justify the employment Of
corrupt means in obtaining il, andIrecOm-
mend tie passage Of q general law limiting
the incomes Of all officials to a certain
amount, and providing that all fees in ex-
cess Of the prescribed limit shall be paid
into the public treasury.

bmldiag formerly occupied By Umdn
&c Co.
The Iola register., 1875-12-25

A friend joyfully told us few days
ago of his anticipations in the grape way.
He had bought little place in the vi
cinity and had made up his mind to have
things right. His maxim was that what
was worth doing at all was worth doing
we'll, and he meant to do it.. He had
done it. He had dug out the dirt three
feet deep into the clay, and had filled it
in with light, rich compost, through
which the roots might push their way in
ease and comfort and live on the tat Of
the land. He had spent considerable
money in doing the job well. He in
tended to get only the best vines, and
felt sure such an expenditure would
result in magnificent grapes and plenty
of them. He had done his work we'll.
1t is strange that such course as this
should ever have been recommended by
horticultural writer's, but it is fact that
they have. Grapes are now so easily and
cheaply grown-fruit often five cents a
pound-that we had we'll nigh forgotten
that this was the standard advice Of the
books years ago. But our friend pro-
duced it in black and white from the
pages which he had chosen as an au-
thority, and then we knew how it was in
the olden time.
Now, our readers at least would know
that instead of such proceeding as this
being an evidence of doing it we'll for the
grape, it is simply an act of folly, not
only towards ones pocket but as an act
of liberality to the vine itself. The grape
root needs to be warm and dry, but this
deep we'll in the clay encouraging the
collection of water from all around it,
has just the contrary effect. The roots
are damp and cool, and not warm and
dry.
Indeed it is only of late years, when
people have given up all this expensive
foolery that grape culture has become
tolerable success. Under the old plan
we had failure after failure, and we came
to believe that only those varieties which
were little removed from the wild fox, or
the frost grapes could be grown. But
now we have the finer kinds getting
quite common. As soon as we gave up
this deep trenching nonsense, grape
grape culture-took fresh
start, and this real culture consists in
little more than planting a vine in good
earth, as we would any ordinary tree,
and see that it does not suffer for want of
food. This is good grape culture in a
nutshell. l.-Germantow Telegraph.
