any trouble with the Independent
voter, if it is true to itself.
Faithful to it's own convictions, it
will compass its own interests. By
accomplishing its own publication,
it will recruit it's ranks and com

steadily has it been doing this for
the last year that the fact of the

Queen Elizabeth.

The London ItieHpHm of January
2. 1888, gave the following interesting
account of lock of Queen Elizabeth S
hair, which was discovered in compa-
ny with a poem by Sir Philip Sidney
In an old folio copy of the Arcadia
preserved BY Wilton, have been found
two beautiful and interesting relics
II lock of Queen Elizabeth's hair and
an original poem in the hand of Sir
Philip Sidney. The hair was given
bv the fair hands of the Queen to her
Young hero. The poet repaid the
precious gift in the following lines:
Her inward worth all outward worth tran,
sceudS:
Envy her merits with regret commcnds;
Like sparkling gems her virtues draw the light
And in her conduct she is always bright.
When she mpartS her thoughts her word.
have force,
And sense and wisdom flow in sweet dis,
course
"The date of this exchange of gifts
was 1888, when the Queen was forty
and the knight twenty-nine.
"Elizabeth's hair is very fine, soft.
and silky. with the undulation of wa
ter: its color, fair auburn or golden
brown. without tinge of red. as her
dctractors assert. but the soft lines are
flecked with light, and shine as though
powdered with gold-dust. In every
country under the sun, such hair
would be pronounced beautiful"
There is mista ke of ten years in
this statement of Elizabeth's age, for
she was born in 1888.
The maiden Queen inspired strong
sentiment of romantic chivalry among
her courtiers, us is testified by the IA
nous incident of Sir Walter Raleigh

her feet from the mire, and the less

On the Cultivation of Fruit.

There is probably no more common
error abroad among orchadists and
farmers than that of neglecting the
cultivation of fruit trees. Our friend
Meehan, editor of the Gardeners s
ChrOniclc. hits this error most palpa-
bly, in the following forcible remarks.
He says:
speaking of planting fruit, the re-
mark is often made that 1T is no use
to set out trees; they do no good any
more in these parts ; and yet it is be-
yond dispute that there is no country
on the face of the globe that in this
respect can beat this one. The fact
is. we have been spoiled by the very
abundance of our riches. Time once
was when all one had to do was to
stick in tree and leave the rest to
nature. Immense crops resulted from
this simple plan without any effort on
the part of the fruit grower. Nowhere
else could this be done. BY the sweat
of ones brow is he to labor, not only
for his daily bread, but for his fruit
also. No one could expect this Eden
like dispensation to last. Bugs and
blights are sure to find out the fruit
trees, and one has to battle with them
in order to succeed in America, as well
It's elsewhere.
1T is very remarkable that those in
daily communication with the soil, as
fruit growers and gardeners, should
expect fruit trees togrow without some
care. Look at the labor required to
grow the commonest farm crops. Be
sides the horse labor, and the wear and
tear of machinery, and the cost of
manure, one has to walk some eigh-
teen miles after the plow i'll order to
get an acre of wheat land ready for
sowing; and yet, with all this hard
work and heavy expense, the profit is
often not more than ten dollars an
acre. 1t is so of all farm and garden
crops. Every one knows that the
labor is enormous-hoeing, digging,
working away forever.
'Fruit culture, to be successful, re-
quires some expense and some labor.
But it requires not nearly as much
labor as many other kinds of things
do; and in proportion to the labor, the
profits are generally greater.
at is one of the lessons our folks
have to learn, that the day when ma
ture took care of our fruits for us, and
gave lis full crops without trouble or
care, is gone by. Fruit growing takes
its stand now with all other things.

A Woman and a Balky Horse.

In front of a physicians residence
stood a buggy, a fine horse and a col
ored servant. The doctor had evident
ly had an urgent call and wanted to
go-the horse on the contrary wanted
to stop. 1t was an occasion to stir
and exasperate all the evil humors in
the breasts Of these two men. One
expended his wrath in the most effec-
tive way he knew how, while he held
the reins-the other INDUCED himself
in an extravagant exercise of his boots
still, that defiant horse maintained
his independence of all coercion, and
stood before the door waiting his own
consent to depart. 1t would not come
The negro at the bride and the doc
tor in the gig were in a pitiable, not
to say ridiculous, condition of dismay
and discouragement. Ny sympathy
was about equally divided between the
doctor and his patient and the horse !;
for the irritated descendant of Ham,,
who used his boots with such inces-
SAINT and unmitigated severity, | felt
not anxiety or tenderness. With a
proud consciousness of my ability to
start thc=dactor on his errand and the
horse on the road, advanced to the
edge of the sidewalk and called ont to
the man who held the triumphant an
imal by the head. Down went his up
raised foot, while, in as concise a manner
as possible, presented my views of
the difficulty and its probable relief.

man obeved. What faith the doctor
had | don't know, but he lifted the
reins invitingly, and without the
slightest acknowledgement to me
drove down the avenue. The negro
looked after him with utter amaze
mcnt, once in while turning to gaze
at the woman who had ventured a sug-
gestion. The horse had wide-awake
expression about his ears and in his
action, but behaved with all evidence
of good-nature-his mind was diverted
etfectually, though not in manner to
frighten him or to rouse his vicious
Iaualities. A grocer had stopped his
cart to enjoy the contest, and seeing
the stubborn creature SO simply con-
trolled, he jumped from his wagon and
coming close to me exclaimed, "Mell,
