AFRAID TO CHECK GRANT.

1t is against the anti-Republican adj
ministration that the anger Of this
country is rising. II is well enough to
say that Hayes is not responsible for
Grants acts; that Hayes took pains to
ignore Grant in his letter; that the cam
vass should have no relation to the
Administration. The country will not
think so when it sees Cameron, Conk-
ling, Morton and the chiefs of the party
surrounding the President and sustain
ing him in his arrogant assumption of
power. The country will say, and
truly, what confidence can we have in
Il party whose leaders have no more
influence over u President than haren
eunuchs over Il sultan ? They see that
the President has laden these senators
with honorS, given them a large share
Of patronage, and because of this they
arc dumb. All this time the fair cam
vass of Hayes and Wheeler darkens.
Mutterings are heard on all sides. The
mass meeting i'll New York was conspi-
cuous for the absence of men who give
strength to Republicanism in this city

Napoleon and the Cat.

ONE evening, at the hostel of st.
Nicholas q think that was the name),
on the Silnpl0n, on our march from
France to Italy, [ was appointed Off
Ger of the guard, and, as such, had
command Of the sentries to the Sleep
ing-roOm of Napoleon, who passed one
night there. During the night a noise
like a struggle in his room induced the
sentry to call me. Together we hastily
entered, and there we found the hero
of many battles standing in the mid
die of the room in his night robe, with
a drawn sword, and very much ex-
cited. Observing our surprise, he
pointed to cat on the mantel-piece,
apparently as much frightened as the
Emperor. He begged her to be in
stantly removed. After a consider
able amount of lodging and tumbling
over sUndry pieces of furniture, in
which neither our ShinS nor our hands
escaped scratches, we succeeded in
ejecting Tabby by the window. After
this feat had been accomplished, Ma
poleon explained the cause Of his ter
ror of this interesting domestic ami
NAL.
"When boy" said he, g a brother
and myself drove cat, which had
scratched me while teasing her, into
a room, and, closing the door, we I'M
mercifully logged the poor creature.
During the castigation the animal
sprang on my shoulder and there bit
me with such ferocity that believe l
should have been fatally injured had
not my cries brought servant to the
rescue. This event made such an I'M
preston ON me that / would as will
ingly afterward encounter q lion as a
cat''
This incident the captain assured
me to be authentic. Hdrper's Adga-
zine.

Fall Planting.

FRUIT-BEARING trees, shrubs, vines
and brambles may be transplanted in
the fall, and very often under more
favorable conditions, and with better
prospects Of success, than if set out
in the spring. There are some well
known objections raised against fall
planting, especially of fruit-trees,
such as the long exposure to the sway
ing of the winds before growth COM
mences. But the injury or displace-
ment of the roots from swaying at the
tops amounts to little compared to the
many striking advantages gained in
planting at season Of the year when
there is comparative leisure, when the
ground is usually dry and in good con-
dition, and when the necessary pre-
paratory stirring Of the soil can be
made without any extra expense.
These are points that tell in the
growth and productiveness of fruit
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1876-09-28

trees, either in the garden or the orch
ard. If planted in the fall, the soil
settles closely around the roots and
fibers by the time the spring opens,
and an earlier growth is started than
with spring setting, which is often
pushed back until the season is we'll
advanced, from causes over which the
planter has no control. The spring
may be backward enough to hinder
planting of trees in a way in which
they should be set out to insure sue
cess. All other things being equal,
there is no doubt that spring would be
the better time to plant trees. But
this does not often happen to be the
case, as every practical fruit-grower
well knows. 1t is therefore wise to
transplant III the fall if the trees and
the ground are in readiness.-P. II

The Month of Weeds.

To RETURN little, September may
be described as the month Of tall
weeds. Where they have been suf-
fered to stand, along fences, by road
sides and in forgotten corners-red-
root, pig-Weed, rag-weed, vervain,
golden-rod, burdock, elecampane,
thistles, teasels, nettles, asters, etc, :
how they lift themselves up as if not
afraid to be seen now! They are all
outlaws, every mans hand is against
them, yet how surely they hold their
own! They love the roadside because
here they are comparatively safe; and
ragged and dusty, like the common
tramps that they are, they form one of
the characteristic features Of early
fall.
/ have often noticed in what haste
certain weeds are at times to produce
their seeds. Red-root will grow three
or four feet high when it has the
whole season before it; but let it get
a late start, let it come up in August,
and it scarcely gets above the ground
before it heads out and apparently
goes to work with all it's might and
main, to mature it's seed. In the
growth of most plants or weeds, April
and May represent it's root, June and
July, it's stalk, and August and Sep
TENDER it's flower and seed. Hence
when the stalk months are stricken
out as in the present case, there is
only time for a shallow root and a
foreshortened head. I think most
weeds that get late start show this
curtailment Of stalk and this solici-
tude to reproduce themselves. But I
have not observed that any of the
cereals are SO worldly wise. They
have not had to think and shift for
themselves as the weeds have. 1t
does indeed look like a kind of fore
thought in the red-root 1t is killed
by the first frost, and hence knows the
danger of delay.-John Burroughs, an
ScTjbne7 for October.

The TuiIerieS,

A LETTER from Paris to the Phila-
delphia Telegraph says: "The fate Of
the ruin of the Tuileries at last has
been decided by official decree. The
ruins, massive, picturesque and use
less, are to be removed, and a building
erected on their site which is to serve
as picture gallery and museum,
probably as a gallery for modern
French pictures, as the Luxembourg,
now used for that purpose, is noto-
riOusly the worst adapted edifice for
picture gallery in the world. The
rooms are cramped, the light is bad,
and there is no possibility of an ade-
quate display Of fully one-third of the
art treasures that should be deposited
there. 1t was at first suggested that
the walls Of the Tuileries should be
left standing, and merely the roof and
interior replaced, but there were grave
doubts expressed as to the soundness
Of the foundations, and 50 the last YES
tiges Of the historical palace of Cath
crime de Medicis will shortly disap-
pear. I am told that before the ruins
are removed Gustave Dore intends to
immortalize them in on of his char
acteristic designs. The picture will
represent the facade of the ruined pal=
ace by moonlight. Above, in the
white simmer of the light, hover the
spectres of the Kings and Queens of
France that dwelt there, from Gather
Inc de Medicis down to Napoleon III,
their shadowy forms just visible against
the sky, while below. through the hol-
low, casementless window, peer the
mocking, exulting shapes of Discord
and Anarchy, the terrible ghosts Of
Revolution and Ruin. Whether the
picture is to be painting or wood
engraving has not yet been stated. but
it will undoubtedly be a weird and
powerful work.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Extract Of "a letter from Hon. A
d. brown.

EDITORS CLARION-Below | hand you
an extract from letter received from
Gov. Brown, from whom nothing ema-
mates except it is freighted with practical
wisdom.
l would state that in most counties
schools have been taught for two or three
months, and it was my purpose in the
directions to which Gov. Brown refers to
secure to the children of farmers two
months tuition before picking cotton time,
and then wait until January and begin
again.
1t is refreshing to know that Gov.
Brown, the retired statesman and philos-
opher, is giving his attention to what he
says 'must become the chief glory Of the
State, when it once enters deeply into the
public heart"
The State Superintendent feels that to
have merited the endorsement of A. @.
Brown is worth more to him than silver
and gold. A serious question occurs to
many, whether or not the Governor shall be
permitted to remain in private life, when
the country so much needs enlightened
craftsmanship, of which Gov. Brown is
one of the best living examples

Professor THos S. Gathriglt, Jackson,
Mss:
My DEAR SIR: Allow me to congrat-
ulate you on your election to the Presi.
aency of the Texas Agricultural College
The pecuniary Involvement, taken in con
nection with prospect OF permanent
and agreeable employment, may induce
you to accept. And much as I should
regret to lose you from Mississippi | am
not prepared, as a friend, to say that you
ought not to do it.
Our school system, yet in its infancy,
is greatly in need of an enlightened and
vigorous head. If you should think it
your duty to leave US do not see how
your PLACE is to be supplied. | have
been looking horefulIy to that early day
when, under your guidance, cur promise
to give the people oii.cc;;ii; and better
schools would develop into realized
fact If you leave Us now, about ali that
you have done will be lost another Su-
perintendent, however enlightened as a
scholar Or experienced as teacher will
come in with new ideas and will very
likely commence building again from the
ground up, And thus a system, excel
lent in itself, may be torn up before it
has had time TO take root in the public
confidence. This ought not to be if it
can be avoided. There has been, and
will still be a very great lack of cordi-
atty in the support of free schools. Ere
quent changes retard the growth of con
tidence, and make the people slow in
coming 70 the support of an institution
which must become the chief glory of the
State when it once cutters deeply into the
public heart.
The children who attend free schools
are very generally the sons and daughters
of poor farmers. They are expected to
help their parents to make and gather
crops. Still there is large part of the
year in which there is little or nothing
for them to do on the farm. [ do not
propose to interfere With yo4r order to
keep the schools open five months this
year, though under the circumstances it
must result in one of two things either
a large number of children must lose the
benefit of the schools or the cotton
which they have assisted in making must
go unpicked. For this year this state
of things must exist. But for another
year there ought to be change.
January, February and March, are
months in which children have very little
to do on farm. Let these months con-
stitute winter session. The farm work
is generally over by the twentieth of July,
and cotton picking is not fairly under
way until the twentieth of September.
Let the intervening two months be de-
voted to a summer session. In this way
children can help their parents make
and gather crops and still get the full
benefit of FIVE months schooling in the
year.
l feel perfectly confident that this sug-
gestion will meet the cordial appreciation
of every farmer, white or colored. in the |
State whose want of means obliges him |
to rely on free schools for the education
Of his children. With great respect, !
Your friend and ob't seryt.
