The New York Sun is 1flden's most
prominent journalistic supporter. Six
months ago Mr. Dana, the editor of the
Sun. did not foresee that Tilden was to
De his candidate for the Presidency. Ac-
cordingly it related the following Iilden-
Mcrrissey anecdOte. 1t Was only a good
joke then; it is something more serious
now. Here it is:
During "A visit paid by Senator Nor
risey to Gov. Tilden recently Que of the
Governors friends spoke Of William M.
Tweed's escape from Jail. I'm glad
that Tweed got away" said Mr.. Norris
sey. srsI CEGT
why do you say thats7 asked Gov.
TiLlen. .--..'..--. -----''...
Because replied the Senator, II
think he has suffered enough for his
crimes" 49,
The Governor looked sharply at the
Senator, and said: Morrissey, you
don't dare express that opinion public
~"
'-On, yes. / dare" answered Mr.. Nor
rissey, smiling. II cut loose from Tweed
in 1865, before it was known that he had
done anything wrong. But you stuck
to him until 1871"
The Governor scowled- and changed
the topic.

strawberry beds that have borne a
good crop of fruit are generally neglected
from the idea that their work is done
and no more need be expected from them.
This opinion may be nearly correct In
field culture, where the plants are gener-
ally allowed to run together in matted
rows the second year from planting, and
grass and weeds get i'm among them. In
garden culture the beds may be kept
productive for several years by proper
management. Strawberries delight in
deep, rich, well-drained soil, and whether
the plants are set out In fall or spring
the beds should be prepared in the fall.
In garden culture strawberries kept in
hills, with adequate space between them
the runners being cut off and good
dressing of rich compost applied in Sep.
TENDER and April, will produce good
crops fOi several years. The soil between
the drills should be kept free from weed;

It's always desirable to have the or,
chard near the house. not only for the
protection afforded the fruit and the con
venience in harvesting it, but also for the
purpose ef having it near the hog-pens
and the poultry house. Doors from
these places should open into the or
chard. that both hogs and poultry may
be admitted as occasion requires. Hog.
eat the wormy apples, pears, plums and
crabs. They also. search the ground
near the surface for grub> and pupe and
eat them. Poultry are excellent destroy.

the nation would be disgraced and the
party name would be stained like the

| From the Boston Advertiser. fy-te l-As s. :
The evidences that the tide has really
tnrnad- and that we are really entering
,,nor i season of business prosperity, are
too numerous and convincing TO be long
or neglected. The test afforded by the
amount of clearings at the banks in the
great cities is, perhaps, the surest indi-
Cation of the aggregate amount of bust.
ness transactions, and they show that
there has been an actual increase in the
quantity OF goods bought and sold since
the decrease Of clearings is a smaller per
centage than is the average decline in
prices. What is thus Indirectly proved
OF the whole volume of trade Is con-
firmed by the reports of individual mer-
chants and of trade organization IN
various branches of commerce. The de-
mail,i is be, ter, prices are tirmer, sales
are larger than they have been before
since the panic of 1873. There has been
a general settlement of accounts, the
weak houses have dropped out or have
been reorganized on Il better basis, and
the way has been prepared fora really
healthy trade. The promise OF the fu-
ture is all the better when we consider
the time ut which the improvement be-
gins. 1t is quite unusual for business to
be good i'm the midst of a great political
canvass. least of all during The most ac-
tive period Of the Presidential campaign.
We may, therefore, presume, that the
sudden recovery is to be accounted for
by the best of reasons, and that it is de-
cidedly likely to be lasting, when We see
it occur at the most unfayOrable season.

as to which line of politics was the bet

with the remark that if White Pigeon

White Pigeon and Constantine went Re.

A Democratic orator at WaynetOwn,
Ind, recently used this language: IF
the Republicans are victorious at the
election this fall, all the Democrats can
do is to rise i'm their might and wrest
