Raistrg Asparagus.

From the Country Gentleman.
One of the errors In asparagus culture
is crowding the plants closely together
in the bed. A deep excavation is made
which is filled with rich materials, and
the gardener, in order to get the most OF
the narrow space which has cost so much
labor in preparing, sets the plants so near
together that they crowd each other in
growth, prevent ng their free develope
ment We have urged on former occas
ions the superior advantages OF giving
less attention to preparing a deep bed,
and allowing more space for their growth
The largest plants we ever saw were
hose that were thus allowed abundant
room, with only the common depth OF
good garden soil. A gentleman whose
garden we have occasionally visited, and
who knows well how to provide the nm
est vegetable luxuries for his family,
gives us the following details Of his man
agement of asparagus: The plants IN
the first place are set about one foot deep;
the shoots readily find their way to the
surface. The rows are feet apart, and
the plants are 3 ieet in the row. The
ground is cultivated and kept clean
through the summer. In autumn after
growth has ceased, and the stalks have
been cleared away, two burrows thrown
apart are powed with two horses right
over the crowns of the plants. The wide
furrow thus formed is flied to the depth
of five or six inches with old well rotted
manure, and the SOL is then piowed back
covering it. In alternate years super
phosphate is applied at the rate OF half
busbel to ifty running feetin row, in
-tead of manure-both together would
answer well. with this treatment each
year, the plants will have attained a full
Growth ID five years, and each plant be
comes stool OF shoots fully two feet in
diameter. Oue ofthese stools has thrown
up no less than two hundred shoots,
some of them an inch and half in diam
eter. An essential part of the treatmen,
tor the preservation OF the vigor OF the
plants. is to cut the shoots for the table
only from alternate rows in each year.
this prevents exhaustion.
In running the deep furrows over the
crowns of the plants, rs already described
if the crowns or the roots happen to be-
torn, no harm results, but rather benefit,
the plants being at that time in a dor
mant condition. During the growing
season, care is taken not to injure them,
and the rows are cultivated with horse,
and kept clean like common corn Held

Girl. Getting Dressed in Hurry.

From the Chicago Tribune.
On recent Sunday, two girls, pupil
of an Illinois seminary, were about leav
ing their room tor church. when q d.
pute arose as to which had occupied thr
most time IN dressing. The discussion
waxed warm, and bet was made,
to be decided on the spot and three other
girls were called in as judges, The con-
testants removed all their clothing, and
at the call of "time" sprang to the con
test. For few moments the air seemed
filed with flying bits of feminine dra-
pery-shoes, stockings, CATERS, &c.-snd
the winner was all "hooked up" and had
her bonnet on in seven minutes and thir.
teen seconds, the other girl coming out
m less than half minute behind.

There is not much change in the mar

THE FENIAN SCARE.

The air has been filed with startl-
ing rumors of Fenian invasion Of
Victoria for several days. Being ut
terly unable to arrive at any definite
conclusion from the meagre details
given by telegraph from Victoria,
we decided to call upon several o1
our prominent citizens of Irish ma
tivity, to see if they could enlighter
us in the matter. Our first visit was
to ex-Alderman Clancy, ofthe Banl
Exchange. Not wishing to be thought
unfriendly in the cause of ireland
we aecosted him in the genuine Gel
tic vernacular:
"Cead mile failthe!" we exclaimed
"Take little yourself" replied
the Alderman, setting out that rare
old black bottle of "Jesse Moore. .
"Potheen galore" we remarked.
81 believe you, my boy" says he.
"Gramsachree ma cruiskeen laacn, u
we added.
"You know how it is, yourself" re-
piled the Alderman. But as his
answers were somewhat indefinite,
we went up to interview Mr.. Ben
Murphy at the ''Pony" and found him
rather more communicative. As we
entered the house, we exclaimed:
"SarosyWeen dheelssh!'
"What on?" inquired the land
lord.
".SAule, shatle agra," we persisted.
"Where to-" asked Mr.. Murphy.
"Why at Victoria haven't you
heard about the Fenian invasion
from San Francisco" we asked.
"Not a word," replied Mr.. Muir
ply. ''The fact is, Tom. you're a
little off to-day. Allow me to pre-
scribe for you. First, few drops
of pure water-you may not be fam
iliar with the taste, but I assure you
there's no harm in it. Next, half
teaspoon of powdered saccharine
matter. Third, ten drops of Amar-
go de Angostura. Fourth, ten drops
of Curacao. Fifth. wine glass of
Noble whis'-
"Good Lord, Mr.. Murphy" we
exclaimed, "that's a cocktail, sir"
"Of course it is, replied Ben,
"now drink that and go home with
you and don't come around here with
Any more cock-and- bull stories like
that"
We can only say that the above
prescription was very palatable and
that's all we know about the Fen
ian invasion of Victoria.

We are amused at the stories of
Sharon's resignation from the
United States Senate, especially
that part which says that Judge B.
C. Whitman will succeed him. Ac-
cording to the Constitution, the
Governor of the State can appoint
to fill a vacancy until the next Leg
is.ature convenes. Therefore, as
Governor Bradley has the appoint
ing power, it is not likely he will
appoint Republican like Whitman
at this juncture of affairs; nor is it
likely at this time that Sharon will
resign. They have had similar
stories afoat before, but the little
man with the red nose won't have
it." He'll blow that nose on Penn
sy1vania avenue next month if he
lives.

contains the card of "Dr. Oscar c..
Badly, veterinary surgeon" who
formerly vegetated about Olympia,

to have hampered him with some

THE "COCK AND BULL"-STORY
OF ELIZA PINKSTON.

Of ELIZA PlNhSlON.-
For the past three days, story of a
woman named Eliza Pinkston, has come
to us hashed and rehashed in the Asso-
,ciated Press dispatches of the Oregonian.
When this poor deluded woman first
told ber story before the Louisiana Re-
turning Board. it rightly caused the in
dignation of the northern visitors who
were witnessing the count. Gov. Pal
mer, (Dem. jumped from his seat and
said in wrath. "If this story be false
those that prepared it for this poor
woman should be hanged, but as
firmly believe it is true, the wretches
who can perpetrate such atrocities
should be executed without mercy.
will spend ten thousand dollars to ferret
out this case. 1t looks true; this poor
woman has certainly been cruelty
wronged. The question is broader now
than President making; it is one of hu-
manity. If she has told the truth,
Sheridan should come back at once and
hold with a grip of iro people who
can see such infamy without remon-
STRANGE even in their public prints"
The story of the woman was this ::
That at night some white men visited
her home, killed her husband, tore her
baby from her arms and cut its throat,
and after stabbing and shooting her,
ten of the white men proceeded to
ravish her. The latter part of her story
was SO improbable that the Democrats,
Notwithstanding her seemingly horrible
condition, proceeded to investigate the
case. They found that Immediately
after the affair she claimed that the de-
;solators of her home were colored men,
and upon cross-questioning her. she
admitted that fact. Also that she does
not know the color of the men who
committed the deed. No doubt, as this
woman has been kept under surveil-
lance since her arrival in New Orleans.
by the Republicans, that finding the
woman in the condition she was they
have attempted to adroitly turn the
affair to their own benefit. Or. this
may be another Francis Thompson af-
fair. Thompson, it will be remembered,
testified as woman. that she had been
ravished sixteen times in one night.
during the political canvass of IA, and to
various other shocking occurrences, be-
fore the Congressional Investigating
Committee sent South to unearth
Southern outrages. This Thompson.
as grimly as it may appear, turned ont
to be man, but was not found out for
nearly two years after, when he was
convicted of felony. and at the police
STATEN his sex was discovered. We
advise the Northern visitors to investi-
gate by close inspection the extent of
Mrs. Pinkston's wounds, before they
take much stock in her story, and let no
acting delude them.
If, however, upon thorough investi
cation, it should be proven that this
act was done or instigated by Louisiana
Democrats, we have no words to express
our loathing and detestation of the foul
deed. Hanging would be too good for
the perpetrators of the act. But this
story must be carefully weighed before
the people North will place any reliance
or faith in it. This is probably but al
incident in the farce that is now being
played at the South, by rhe Republicans
of that section.
