DRYNs.-Make ample provisions for
drying the surplus fruits of all kinds; it
is likely that only the best fruit will
bring remunerative prices this season.
CIDER AND VNEGAR.-See that all
inferior fruit is gathered and made into
cider, before it has a chance to decay,
rejecting all that is partially decayed.
SEEDS Gather stones of peaches and
Tlums for raising stocks, and preserve in
boxes of sand, where they will be kept
cool. Collect seeds of all trees which
it is desirable to propagate, as fast as
they ripen, and SOW those sorts at once
which will not keep, and preserve the
rest in cool place until spring.
PLANTING. ALI land intended for fall
planting should beplowed and narrowed
and put into proper condition for setting
out trees; if possible, give a good dress
ing of ashes or ground bone. Stake
out the ground ready for planting later
in the fall. In northern localities it is
better to plow the land, and allow it to
remain until spring; purchase the trees
this fall, and heel them in, to be ready
for setting in spring.
SEED BEDS of fruit and ornamental
trees must be weeded often, else the
tenacious fall weeds will render the work
almost impossible without roofing out
the young trees with the weeds. -Agri.

Murder in the Ring.

In Pennsville, Salem county, N. j.,
has been perpetrated one of those re-
voting crimes that too often shock the
community. but which in this case has
peculiarly horrible accessories that tend
to magnify the occurrence. Two men,
or brutes clothed in the garb of hu-
manity, hailing from Philadelphia,
fought prize fight in the above named
locality, and one of them gave up his
life at the conclusion of the contest.
Battered and bruised until he was al
most unacceptable, the dead mans
body presented fearful, horrible spec
tacle when found by the police on a
Philadelphia dock. Now, possibly, the
police will endeavor to find the murder
er; but, had they acted with decision
and prevented the departure of the
roughs from their city, the fight and
murder could not have occurred. They
failed in their duty, and the entire COM
munity is shocked in consequence. Ii
is a sad commentary upon our boosted
civilization and progress, that while we
are inviting the world to witness them,
such scenes as this prize fight could oc-
cur, and, above all, owing to Philadel-
phia's negligence.
It is well known that certain prize
fighters who had onlyrecently been con
nected with similar exhibition in New
Jersey, were among the abettors in this
contest at Pennsville, and had been in
Philadelphia for days preparing for the
fight. The police cannot plead ignor-
ance of this fact, and they deserve, as
they will receive, the condemnation o.
every pure-minded citizen Throughout
the land.
The very contest itself, too, was dis
grace to those concerned in its further
ance. The dead pugilist was a mere
boy, only nineteen years old, and hi
opponent was strong, stalwart man o
over thirty.
The instigators of the contest vii
probably remain unpublished, but if tn
contumely and execration of mankin'
can have any effect upon their future
then can they rest assured that it wi
follow them wherever they go.

Fall and Winter Wraps.

A wrap of some warm material is usu-
ally the first garment purchased when
cool autumn days arrive. Large impor-
'tations of these, says q fashion journal,
show the fashionable shapes to be en-
larged editions of all the styles in vogue
last year, viz: Large mantles, long
sacks, large dolmans, and long cloaks of
both sack and circular shape. The size
of these garments gives an air of COM
fort and warmth, and their simple trim
ming, usually mere border, is in keep
ing with their plain and graceful style.
Heavier materials are used than the
cashmere and drap d'ete that of late
have done service all winter, and these
heavy goods are often wadded, and are
always lined with silk or with farmers
satin. The soft pliableness of lighter
wool fabrics is given to luxurious
cancels hair cloths that are one-fourth of
an inch thick, to diagonal stuffs, regular
beaver cloth, and to the figured, basket,
canvas and armure cloths. A great many
rich black silk wraps are shown, but
very few velvet garments are imported.
1t is said that fine cloth cloaks are to be
the first choice next winter, and will be-
come fashionable for dressy wear again,
just as last season fine wooden stuffs
were restored to favor for rich costumes.

Dear Sir-From early youth was in feeble
health, troubled with humor in my blood
weakness end debility OF the system generally;
was unable to labor much, and only at some
light busine E, and then only with great
caution.
Seven years ago, the past spring, 1 had a
rev, re attack OF diphtheris which left my
limbs paralyzed and useless, so was unable
to walk or even sit up. Noticing the adver-
tIsement Of Peruvian Syrup, concluded to
give it a trial, and to my great ] y soon fouI d
my health improving. 1 continued the use Of
the Syrup until three bottles had been used,
and was restored to complete health, and have
remsined so to this day.
l sttnbute my present health entirely to the
use OF Peruvian Syrup, and hold it in high es-
tmalion. l cannot speak too highly in its
praise. l have in several cases recommended
it in cases very similar to my own with the
same good results. Yours truly,

Conn IN ENe1AND.-Indian corn has
attained a permanent footing as an arti-
Gle of food in England, and to our agri-
culturists this is a matter of much i'm
portance. In 1875 about million tons
of corn were imported into Great Britain.
English people, however, do not receive
the article in all its original weetness.
1t must undergo a process called kiln
drying, or it would heat in the barrels.
This process is performed before grind
ing, and requires great care.

WHAT IT WOULD HAvE-Speaking of
the last prize fight, the New York Her.
aid says: Two vicious brutes, known
to pugiistic fame as Jimmy" Weeden
and Chilly" Walker, both of Phila-
delphia, met in the prize ring and
pounded each other until "Billy" Wal
ker dieG. We raise no objection what
ever to rufians like these killing each
other, but as the law has declared such
mode of staying murder we sincerely
hope that Pennsylvania law will send
Jimmy" after Chilly" by the best
line that can be procured for the pur-
pose.

semblyman Post thinks cit would be a wise
change. Assemblyman Power says;-'1 think
1t would be good thing for New York city"
Senator Carpenter says :-'I think that at a
separate local election in New York less of
politics and more of fitness would enter into
the canvass" Senator Rogers, of Erie, testi-
fies to the good effect of separating the city
from the State election in Bufalo:-''When
the charter election was held in the spring
and the voters had nothing but local issues
to meet the result was that public spirited,
non-partisan men were put in charge of
affairs"
Nearly all the interviews are of the same
tenor as those from which we have quoted.
They show that if the question were decided
on its merits, uninfuenced by party feeling
or intrigue, the municipal election in New
York, like the local elections in the greater
part of the State, would be disentangled from
general politics and held on q separate day.
We trust that short-sighted views of tran
sient party advantage may not prevent so
important reform

A Margin i'm Soap.

The fact that confidential clerk and
cashier in a soap factory was able to embez-
zle a sum of money variously estimated at
from three hundred thousand dollars to seven
hundred thousand dollars in few years.
and to escape detection and arrest for nearly
two years after leaving the soap mans en-
ploy, indicates a margin in this essential of
the toilet which is surprising. Nobody sus-
pected that the soap business was so profit
able that soap man could be robbed at this
fearful rate without finding it out. Yet the
case of Beckwith shows that the safest place
in New York for dishonest clerk is in soap
factory. This ingenious business man sys-
tematically laid aside for himself an increase
of ten per cent on all the disbursements of
his employers establishment, and even es-
capped suspicion for long period. 1t is not
of the crime we would speak, for that is of a
kind which just now is common enough, nor
of the confidence of the soap man in his
clerk, but of the enormous profits of bust
ness which could stand such drain upon it
without exciting suspicion. What must Mr..
Rabbits profits have been if Beckwith was
able to appropriate nearly half million of
dollars out of the establishment without even
so much as exciting suspicion2 Evidently
the people Of this country submit to the pay
ment of enormous prices for the most ordi-
nary necessaries of life without 80 much as
grumbling Reasonable profits in the soap
business would not long have withstood
Beckwiths assaults upon Rabbits income
As it is the crime is not without its benefits
in the exposure People may learn from
this not only the margin there is on soap but
the enormous profits exacted by business
men for everything they make and every
thing they SELL Indeed, the corner grocer
thinks himself entitled to profit of from
fifty to q hundred per cent for bringing a
barrel of potatoes from Washington Market
and peddling it out by the small measure.
These exactions, criminally enormous as
they are, do more to keep our working peo-
pie in poverty than any of us have suspected.
When clerks can steal fortune out of
single establishment in few years it is time
that people refused to pay prices that make
such crimes possible.

Hoist by Their own Petard.

In Germany they are never so pleased
with any other intellectual fancy as with the
| discovery of cause He is a tolerably great
man who saves their country from the
enemy, especially if he lived as long since
as Arminius did, for then they may not limit
their admiration by the consideration
whether he is a Bavarian or a Swabian or a
Saxon. He is also great man who can
write natural music" particularly if it is
as thoroughly bad-that is to say, natural
as Wagners. But he who explains why the
sunshine is warm, and why it makes violets
blue and buttercups yellow, or who goes
with sufficiently incomprehensible profun-
dity into the occult reasons for the appear
ance of white hairs at the tip end of every
dogs tail-this man is the greatest and most
admirable of human creatures; for O mans
opinion of music may be the result of boil
in his ear, and patriotism is at best only
prejudice in favor of your own country; but
science alone is an Interchangeable beacon for
humanity. 1t is because of their fondness
for causes that the Germans were delighted
with a theory in explanation of the horrible
dynamite project against the safety of pas
senger ship. They were reconciled with the
calamity by the discovery of its psychic
logical source. 1t all came from
freedom-from democracy; it followed
upon American civilization as naturally as
apples upon apple blossoms. If you have
no freedom of your own it is well to make it
appear that other peoples freedom produces
fric al ha fba
better contented to have William the En-
peror sit on your head. Between the lines
of this sort of cheap philosophy you read
solemn injunction to the Germans to take
care never to become a free people, for as
soon as they are free they will Immediately
begin to put cases of dynamite on board pas
senger ships in the hope to blow them up at
sea and get the insurance. But since the
discovery of this source of great crime, and
the illumination of this pleasant opinion of
democracy and its results, it has been ascer-
tanned and shown that the protector of whole
sale murder by dynamite was not an Ameri-
can at ALL but thorough German; that he
was born in Germany and, though he came
to this country with his parents in infancy,
was sent home in early life and was raised
and educated in his native country. Here is
a new sphere for the ingenuity of the Berlin
journalists. Let them wriggle out a good
philosophical statement of the fact that a
German, being the extreme quantity of hui
manity, can be as bad as any other man, or
even worse, if he once takes to evil ON the
American plan. Perhaps the only thing
American about Thomassen after all was the
conscientiousness which drove him to a des-
perate escape from his remorseful thoughts.
