SOMETHING Too MUCH OF TaIs-Some
time ago an Investigation of the National
Hospital for the Insane, near Washington,
was ipstigated by parties actuated In part
py ceiusions and In part bv malice. t'Testi-
mony" was taken after the loose fashion
habitual to some Congressional commute IS,
embracing hearsay rumors, opinions, &C.,
and was spread broadcast ovsr the country
by washington correspondents eager for SEN
salons. This "testimony."o az first was very
damaging. But At length the other side was
heard, and the result was complete disproof
OF the loose accusations and tue honorable
vindfcatfon OF the hospital and of its prin-
cipsl, DR.. Nichols. Now. we fi1d In looking
over some recent proceedings in the House
OF RepTS sentativeJ that q petition has been
presented asking for further investigation.
Without challenging this exercise Of this
constitutional right to be heard by petition
FOR redress OF grievances, IL may be urged
and should be made a condition, that there
shall be no more random Investigation
that parties Eetltioning for redress of
grievance shall first allege In some formal,
responsible manner that they have a
grievance-and shall charge some distinct
ofesse, holding themselves ready to sup
port IL by proof that would stand before a
grand jury at least Random Investigations
result mainly, and very often only, In scau-
dal, without any valuable result. Those
which have occupied SO much OF the time of
this Congress would have done vastly more
good II they had dealt less In hearsay, and
been less personal. The corrupt practices
expos ed would then have compelled atten-
ton and remedy; as il is, they mostly pass
into the field OF personal and political con-
troversy, robbed OF their force Phil Led0er.

CULTURE OF FRUIT TREES.

During the past fve-and-twenty years
the subject cf fruit culture has been large
ly illustrated and fervently discussed by
both trade and amateur cultivators, nnd
some very curious conclusions have come
to be regarded in the aggregate as con-
stituting kind of genealogical gospel.
Those who have been constant readers of
the horticultural papers will be as well
able as myself to enumerate the chief
points in the modern and generally-accept-
ed doctrine of fruit culture, but it will be
proper for me to attempt a summary to
serve as preface to the proposals have
to submit for your consideration. 1t ap-
pears to be generally agreed that the
treatment of fruit trees at every stage of
their existence should be such as to pre-
vent their growth. so that the orchard and
the garden shall no longer be adorned with
fully developed examples of the several
kinds, but they shall be simply dsfigured
with stunted things called miniatures"
the production by which of few quarts
or pecks of fruit is to afford more delight
than the production of real trees of fruit
requiring to be measured by the bushel
and carried from the ground by the aid of
the market-cart. Accordingly. the pro-
ducers of fruit trees have sought out all the
starving stocks, on which they graft the
sorts required. and they have urged on the
amateurs who purchase them a code of
management avowedly intended to keep
the trees within bounds, or, in other words,
to thwart the course of natural growth by
artificial modes of repressions, with view
to prevent development. The roots are
to be periodically pruned, the branches
are to be treated in like manner, and dur
ing the summer the soft shoots are to be
several times pinched to preven. extension
in the natural way, to keep the tree down
when it would tain 60 up, and check the
spread of its branches so that it shall make
no shadow. Truth is truth, and it must be
admitted that the system has succeeded
far beyond the expectation of those who
supposed that systematic repression must
result in utter barrenness. The torment
ed trees do produce fruit of good quality,
and as garden toys have their value. The
Joy with which an amateur gathers score
or so of apples from tree that has cost
him money and labor, and anxiety sufi-
cient to produce ton of fruit instead Of =
score by more rational method-the joy
of the amateur in taking this miniature
reward for world of labor in pruning
and pinching-ought not to be trifed with.
but truth is truth, and we must not des-
crbe this pretty pastime as fruit culture.
AS men are but children as larger
growth, it must be permitted them to have
playground and toy fruit trees; and so
the starved, s,unted, pinched and crippled
trees that thousands of persons take de-
light in are not to be condemned In .
ruthless manner but it is high time the
public mind should be freed from the in
cubus of delusion that stands sheer in
the way OF the possible development Of
our resources in respect OF fruit produc-
ion.-Skirley Hidberd in Journal Of So
eiety Of Art.
