GRAPE VINES ON LARGE TREE s..

A grape vine loves the support of a big tree,
and nothing can be more beautiful than the
effect when the vine is fruit laden. l once
had an old oak by the kitchen door, into which
an old-fashioned Isabella grape vine had
climbed away to the topmost twig. The vine
grew at its own sweet will, and knew nothing
of the pruning shears but more delicious grapes
] never desire to eat, and SOM years we picked
four bushels from it. The oak limbs lifted the
fruit we'll into the air aud sunshine, so all were
ripened, and a good ladder made the process Of
picking quite easy. One thing. perhaps, which
helped our vine was a tub full of suds every wash
Ing day, and a good bank of sawdust from the
wood house always about the roots. 1t is
nice to have one vine planted handy to the
kitchen, SO it may get a regular dressing Of
this sort every week. If quite remote from
the house it is very apt to be neglected.
Where it is near by a girl would a little rather
put the 8uds over it than not, especially if it
is the custom to carry such things a little dis
tanoe away ,-Lbjd.

USING DYNAMITE ON THE FARM.

Dynamite consists of an explosive mate
rial, more efficient than powder or nitro
glycerine. Some dynamite was employed
to raise stumps from their position and hold
IN the earth. A quantity of earth was re-
moved from the side of a stump and a hole
driven below the stump with a crowbar.
Into this hole a cartridge of dynamite was
pressed by means of a wooden ramrod, then
. decorating percussion cap, with a Black
tord's fuse attached, was squeezed into a
small cartridge or primer of dynamite and
inserted into the hole in contact with the
charge. The hole was filled up with loose
earth, about q foot length of the fuse being
left bare. A match was next applied to the
fuse and a sufficient time was taken for the
powder to reach the percussion cap to allow
the operatives to retire to a safe distance.
When the explosion occurred the stump
was literally blown out of the ground,
some OF the fragments, weighing nearly
twenty pounds, being thrown a distance Of
over 100 yards. The destruction of the
stump was complete. In breaking up big
boulder stones, the dynamite was simply
placed on top of the stone, covered with
wet sand, and fired with the fuse in the
ordinary way. The result was the reduc-
tlon OF the boulders to fragments the size
OF q walnut, 1t was efectuallY proved bv

CONSEQUENCES OF CHEAP COAL.
From the New York Hcrald.}

Whether the coal combination can
recover its control of the market remains
to be seen. But it is worth our notice
that the sudden fall in the price of coal
here, consequent on the collapse of the
companies who have assumed to monopo-
lice the market, and did 80 long control
and fix prices, has at once attracted
attention in England. A Manchester pa
per remarks, in some alarm, that so great
a fall in the price of coal, ifit is maintained,
will affect very favourably the cost of
production in all American industries
where steam is used. The English writer
says :-"If the decline should prove
permanent we have here q new and
powerful aid to the American manufacture
er. There is, too, the possibility
of American coal being exported in
competition with that of Great Britain.
A large amount of English coal is
consumed in transatlantic countries, more
especially in the West Indies and
Brazil, and it is not at all unlikely that
American coal may run us a close race
in these markets, at least for a time. The
most serious question for all concerned is
whether or not the reduction 10 likely to
be long-enduring, and on this point we
have not now sufficient means of forming
reliable judgment. The mines at present
opened are capable of yielding, according
to the statements of the American papers,
about three times as much as thew have
hitherto done, without the addition Of
any more machinery than is already put
down. Under the combination production
was restricted so as to keep up prices,
and the mines were worked only from
three to five months in the year. The
cost Of production must, therefore, have
been enormously high. Now, under the
open system the coal owners will be impelI-
ed to turn out the largest amount possible
IN order to reduce Its cost. All this seems
to make it probable that q very moderate
price will now be permanently maintained,
since there is a general agreement that the
combination cannot be re-cstablished."
Whether the Coordination" is really
broken remains to be seen. The event Is
not yet decided. But it is worth The
while Of American w%orkingmen to
remember that cheap coal enables
employers to pay higher wages and yet
produce cheap goods. Whatever is
saved in the cost of raw material is to
the advantage not only Of the manufacturer
but OF the people he employs.

The Judicial Question Over the
River.

Editors 1ntellIseneer:
A word, through the columns OF your
paper, to the Republicans Of Belmont
and Monroe counties.
Tomorrow, at GAINESVILLE, conven.
ton will be held to determine the ques-
ton whether, in view OF the present
division OF the Democratic party on the
judgeship,i is our duty TO make straight
Republican nomination. Hitherto, and
especially when The rumpuAfrst occurred
in the Democratic Judicial Wigwam,
many Republicans, deeming tho nomina.
ton OF one OF their own party a. with.
out single hope Of election, cared not
which Democratic faction won, and, es.
teeming Judge Chambers as such an i'm.
provement on his predecessor, they were
willing to endorse him, in preference to
Okey.
This feeling has been worked up and
intensified by the special efforts Of one or
two Republican lawyers Of ST. Clairsville,
special henchmen OF Chambers. who have
made considerable effort to bring out ap.
peals to and endorsements Of Chambers
through the press Of the county,as we'll as
by personal solicitation in his behalf in
various parts Of Belmont county espec.
tally.
The sober second thought, however, Of
the Republicans OF both counties, We arc
assured, ia decidedly averse to allowing
the party nomination to go by default and
thereby virtually endorse Chambers, 10
whom, certainly the Republican party is
indebted for as little as any man in the
county or district. This sentiment has
quickened into an earnest conviction that
the supreme duty OF the Convention to.
morrow Is to nominate square Republi.
can candidate and then elect him II we can.
Why should, wC not7 The. breach be.
tween Chambers aud 0kGy widens and is
irreconcilable. Every paper in Belmont
county contains Chambers announcement
as Rn Independent candidate, and those
Republicans who are urging no nomina.
ton doubtless think, in this event, that
Chambers will receive the Republican
vote. We believe, If the contest narroWs
to achoice between Chambers and 0key
the latter will receive the larger share Of

to,yning the opinion Of amajority Of the

thst il Is the general wish Of our people
that o nomination b made, although
there arc few persons who disapprove

unconditional surrender without at least
making an effort to carry the day.
That Judge Chambers has been u very
acceptable Judge none deny but proba.
bly no better than most any one OF the
81 Clairsyille lawyers would have made
under similar circumstances, for he, like
most men in his position, has been
prompted by an ambition for popularity
and second term, and they claim too
that the law, governing the cases in which
he has gained such nOtoriety, is'so plain
that wayfaring man, though a fool, need
not err in the administration thereof, but
that he has been such decided improve
ment over some Of his Democratic prede-
cessors, that his official acts in carrying
out The law have been noticed more than
thew would have been had his predeces'
sors discharged their duty according to
The law. Officially speaking not aword is
said by the law abiding citizens against
Judge Chambers, but politically great
deal can be and is said against him, and
firmly and honestly believing that their
cause is Just, that the principles OF the
Republican party are right, and that We
have Republicans in the district, who, il
elected, would give IS much dignity to the
bench and as great satisfaction TO
the people as Judge Chambers has, or as
any Democratic Judge can, and also be.
lieying the chances Of success are good,
they are in favor OF putting a candidate
OF their own faith and order in the field
and then EOrkiag for his election. But
il majority Of the people composing the
Convention called to meet at Barnesville
on tomorrow shall deem it inadvisable
TO make nomination, they will submit
cheerfully rs they have done before, to
the will Of the majority.
