squashes, Being less perishabe than those
maturing in the summer or fall, the loss from
decay is very small if they are properly
housed. They are in their best state after
most garden vegetables are gone, and are
accordingly in active demand. The amount
of winter squashes sold in this market in
creasessevery year. Atseveral bakeries they
are purchased by the car load. During sew
eral seasons they have been shipped east in
quite large quantities, the crop there having
been very poor one.
The best varieties Of winter squashes to
raise for the market or family are the Hub
bard and Marblehead. The latter squash,
though brought out by Mr.. Gregory, of
Marhlehead, Mass. and named from the town
where he lives, appears to have first been
raised in this country by Hollander in Mil
waukee, who was gardener to Alexander
Mitchell. 1t is not definitely known who or
iginated the variety. Squashes of either of
these varieties are profitable to raise to sup
ply local markets, or for shipment. In north
ern Illinois no crop has paid better for sew
eral years.
In case there is not good market for
them they can be used to good advantage at
home. Pies and pudhngs made of squashes
are most excellent. Cut in pieces of suita-
bic size and baked they can hardly be dis
| tinguished in taste from sweet potatoes.
Stock IF all KINDS thrive on them. When
fed to animals, the seeds should first be re-
| tyyri11 to aflI1lx ri
dry the seeds, for if they are of pure stock
they will have a ready sale. Squash seed
retain their vitality for several years, and ii
is a popular idea that old seeds produce more
| squashes than those Of last years growth.
The squash is of tropical origin, and il
should not be planted till the weather and
ground are quite warm. A great mistake is
made in planting them too close. If the
groSsad is covered thick Withuines the squash
es will be small. and quite likely they viii
not ripen properly. Our experience is thai
one vine in the hill, the hills being eight fee
apart, each way, gives the best results. l
is policy to start several vines in hill, and
to remove all the plants after danger of bugs
is over. 1t isl good plan to direct the young
vines SO several will not be OH the same spot
Warm, moist weather is the best for pro
ducing good crop of squashes. The sol
) on which they are grown should be very
rich. 1t is we'll to let winter squashes remain
on the vines as late as possible without dan

broken from the squash, as this would caus
it to rot. The best way is to cut the vine!
from the stem with a sharp knife. Anothe

TaE CIRCUIT COURTS.

Special Judge j. A. Anderson kaOIdb
as Unconstitutional the Law AbOl.
1sh1pg h Second UlPcuLG and Sec.
Ond CnanceTy Courts.
In tho agreed case gotten up between
the Clerk Of the First Circuit ard the
Clerk Of the Second Circuit Courts to
test the law Of the Legislature abolish
ing the latter court, and which case was
learnedly argued during the past week
on behalf of the First Circuit and the
act of the Legislature by Attorney Cen
eral J. ,. Heiskel and B. NJ. Estes, and
for the Clerk Of the Second Circuit
Cour! by Judge 7. w. Brown and Colo
mel L. D. McKissiek.
Judge Anderson in brief held hat the
law of the Legislature abolisbing the
Second Circuit Court wal ~unconstitu-
tional and void for the reason that the
Judges and Chancellors of the said
courts were created by and recognized
in the State Constitution, and their
terms Of Office fixed by said Cohstitu-
ton, aud the Legislature by law having
created courts for said Judges and Chan.
c%ellors, the said terms OF Office com
menccd fer the time specified, and said
courts cannot be abolished by the Legis
%laturo until said tormS Of office created
by the Constitution shall have expired.
This was the gist Of the opinion and the
entire question upon which the case
hinged. The case will be taken up to
the Supreme Court, and 2 decision will
be reached at an early day. Such cases
on account Of public Importance, heinl
given precedence over the regular bust
ness OF said Supreme Court.

thousand people participating, among
them the Lord Mayor of London and
the Provosts Of Glasgow and EdinburC.
The railroad companies have subscribed
f20,00 toward the expenses Of the cele-
bration. The programme was as follows:
At noon there was a grand procession,
winding up by the Inauguration of a
bronze statue to Joseph Pease by the
sculptor, Lawson, costing el000. The
ceremony OF unwilling was performed
by the Duke of Cleveland. la the after
loon there was a grand banquet, at
which 700 guests sat down To-. A fine
portrait of Joseph Pease by Macbeth,

kilograms were sent during the progress
of the banquet to all railroad kings on
the European continent, America, Egypt
and India.

New York, September 27.-Special
dispatches from Red Cloud Agency of
the 24th via Fort Laramie Goth, report
that the council on Thursday closed
without results and every indication Of
failure. The feeling among the wild In
dams Of the North are openly hostile,
and an attack on the commissioners by
the young men Of the Cheyenne, ARA
pahoes and Cgallas was only prevented
by the GOODNESS and promptness of
Young-Man-Afraid Of His Horses and
Sitting Bull, whose warriors drove away
the vicious Indians and afterwards
formed in battle array about the com
missioners and their cavalry guard to
prevent a conflict.

THE announcement of Judge Latham
that the Memphis WoOd-wOrks will not
be rebuilt is a natter Of surprise and
regret to the community. The enter
prise had withstood many dragbaeks
and it Was thought was permanently es-
tablisbed when this last misfortune,
the FIRE, overlook it. The outlay Of cap
ital required to atart the works again
was greater than the surviving stock
holders cared to advance, 90 they de-
cided to sell out the remaining maLeVisl
to a we'll known firm and close up the
affairs of the company. This decision
is perhaps unavoidable, but it is not the
less a encouragement to our feeble man
nfaeturing interests and will have a ten
dency. we fear, to prevent others from
~embarking in similar enterprises.
Whether the proper support Of the pab-
lie had at all times been yielded TO the
company we cannot ssE. There has
been a disposition not alone here but
generally in the South to buy nothing
made in the home market that could be
imported from the North. A r%uinous
policy, indeed, and one that cannot be
explained, except as a matter of habit.

THE PUBLIC

The Appeal Of the 10Th Of September
contains a specious statement emsnat-
ing from Mr.. Pickett designed to bolster
a caducous school system, which his own
wild empiricism aud the pig-headed OBJ
stinacy and folly of some OF the School
Board have well nigh wrecked. The
statement claims 2OS9 enrolled at that
date, from which the superintendent
tries to derive great comfort, and holds
out the idea that the schools are flourish
ing. An analysis of the composition OF
some of these schools will dissipate any
such hope. From information DENIED
reliable, we find in the Market street
school only 10 in the grammar grade,
1872 in the next inferior grade under three
teachers, aud the balance, some l2O or
more, halliday pupils, many OF whom are
babies that ought to be at home with
their mothers. In the Peabody we find
10 in the grammar grade and so in the
next inferior grammar grade, and the
balance, about 100, halliday babies and
little children. In this school, total 255
instead Of 800, as stated. In the Lin
den we find 313 instead of 1926, as stated,
of which 20 are in grammar grade, 92'in
next inferior, and the balance, some 1872,
halliday %infantile pupils. We doubt not
a similar state Of things will be
found to exist in all the schools.
To maintain an incompetent pet
in place at high salary the School
Board ring have outraged public senti-
ment and permitted him 10 wreak his
spite by ostracising many Of the best
teachers from the schools, for it is we'll
understood, notwithstanding the .Jere.

NASHVILLE has a Republican Mayor
elect. Hon. T. "A. Kercheval, who ran IN
the cuise Of an Independent. When 1t
takes two Democratic conventions to
nominate a candidate for Mayor and an
outsider is run in as a compromise the
party seldom comes squarely together.
The different factions chafe under their
defeat and become sometimes passive
spectators of the contest, if they do not
give aid and comfort to the enemy. The
Democratic nominee, Spencer Eskin, is
an excellent citizen, but we doubt
whether the party stood up to him In

at the first convention to admit OF an
