Pear Culture in Iowa.

Mr.. Suel Foster read short paper
upon this subject, before the Eastern
Iowa Horticultural Society, as fol-
lows:
at is delicious fruit and should
be planted in every garden where
there is suitable soil, and those who
delight in fruit culture, and particu-
larly those who like to eat good
pear, and can afford it, should make
a suitable soil. Deep, light, black
prairie soil is not suitable for the
pear nor does it thrive well on wet
clay soil. Tho pear is best suited on
dry, rolling, clay soil, either prairie
or timber. Give the trees clean, mel
low cultivation with no manure, un-
less the soil is too poor for half a crop
of wheat.
To make q soil similar to the above
| would recommend digging large
hole to set the tree IN, and haul a
wagon load or two of clay and fill the
hole to set tho tree in, have the
ground well surface drained with
deep burrows between the rows.
AS to varieties, / have found the
Bartlett the best, although it has suf.
fered some in those extreme cold
winters. The Flemish Beauty and the
Sickle arc more hardy, and the Beur-
re de Anjou, for late in the fall. For
early, perhaps Osband's Summer can
be recommended. That makes five
varieties what is the use of naming
more?
The dwarf, or ounce root, is apt to
winter-kill unless well mulched; but
on the pear root after it has stood a
few years, the roots strike SO deep
that the root is not apt to wintcr-kill
In setting out a good thorough
mulching is quite necessary. When
the trees send out long shoots in sum
mcr, shorten in as they grow"

NoTroubie.

Rumors in regard to an impending
strike of locomotive engineers on the
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Rail-
road are still filling the air. II is,
however, the opinion Of those who
ought to know that the danger has
passed, and that no trouble will oc-
cur. The difficulties between the
managers of the road and the engi-
neers arose from the fact that the for
mer had decided upon system of
educating the firemen for engineers,
so as to stimulate these men in the
performance of their duties and give
them chance for promotion. The
Brotherhood of Engineers did not
like this arrangement, as they consid-
cred it an infringement on the rights
of the Association, which has hereto
fore dictated nearly all the appoint
ments of engineers. Some ofthe hot
head wanted strike ordered at once,
but the conservative and old men de-
precatcd such action. A short time
ago meeting of engineers was held
at Galesburg to take some action in
regard to this matter. and strike was
voted down. Since that time the hot
heads have kept on intriguing in
order to bring about rupture, but
the Brotherhood engineers who have
been with the Company for many
years refuse to join for such a pur-
pose, and therefore the agitators can
accomplish nothing. The railroad
managers are firm in the position they
have taken, and are not at all intimi-
dated by the threats made by some OF
the Brotherhood engincers.-Chicago

A Terrible Sentence.

Cragin, one of the murdcrers oi
Smith (near Saginaw, Mich J, that his
wife might live with her lover, has
been sentenced for life. The Saginaw
(Mich) Courier, of the 2Sth inst. gives
the following remarks from the
Judge:
"What your motive was which led
you to the commission of this horri-
BILE crime, no one knows. The mere
pittance you were to receive could
not have prompted you to the COM
mission of so terrible a crime, and if
It is true that you were prompted to
do this act by such . pittance, then ye,
are unworthy to be called man.
Your past life must have prepared
you for such decd. Your only hope
is that some time the Executive may
commute your sentence SO that you
may be permitted once more to see
the sunlight and to work in the shop
with other convicts. But until then
yon will be consigned to living tomb
and not allowed to see even the face
of your keeper, but remain wholly
unseen in loathsome dungeon and
fed there by unseen hands. 1t is a
fearful thought. 1t is to be hoped that
during your confinement you may so
change, if change be possible, that you
may become better man, and that
you may be shown more mercy than
you showed your poor victim when
he pleaded in vain with you for Gods
sake to spare his life."

COMMODORE Vanderbilt cut off
his son Cornelius with the interest on
100000 l0-40 bonds, per annum, the
principal to revert to his other son,
VIM. H., principal lcgatee, at the
death Of Cornelius Jr.
The latter has been an incorrigible
vagabond, causing his father much
annoyance for years. He beat Horace
Greeley out of $4,000, the old philos-
opher having endorsed the young
scape-grace's notes to that amount,
which Greeley, of course, had to pay.
They are among the assets of Gree
ley's heirs, and it was always sup
posed that Vanderbilt would relent
before death, and provide for these
notes. But Vanderbilt was as mex
orable as death, and has left his estate
to his sons and relatives who by good
conduct deserved it. One would
think, however, that there was about
As much christianity in taking up this
sons notes, in the hands of the two
poor Greeley girls, for money their
too confding father advanced, as in
giving $750,OO0 to q Methodist Uni
versity, at Nashville, or an $4,000
steamboat to the government.
The movement to contest the will,
which was made in. the courts before
the old Commodore was scarcely cold
in his grave, undoubtedly originated
with Cornelius Vanderbilt junior,
and the contest over tho will, will
probably furnish newspaper litera-
ture and big lawyers fees for gem
Grafton of time.

The Republican, this morning, in its
leading editorial, makes this an
nouncement: "The following is a
copy Of the oath Of the Grand Order
Of the Knights Of the White League,
q democratic organization which has
ramifications in every State in the
Union:
"You most solcmnly swear that
you will support the constitution and
bylaws, and execute and perform the
objects and purposes Of this society,
and you hereby bind yourself to give
material and pccuniary assistance in
procuring the just, and, If necessary,
the forcible Inauguration of Samuel
j. Tilden, and Thomas A. Hendricks,
respectively, for the Office of Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States; and you further swear that
you will, if deemed advisable, take
up arms in behalf Of this great OBJ
ject. In this you most solemnly pledge
your life and honor, acknowledging
that you have forfeited your life if in
any manner you betray the objects
and secrets of this society. So help
you God.
american citizens, this is matter
for you to calmly consider. You
must not believe for moment that
this is an oath taken by few hot
heads. In almost every Congression-
al district in the Republic this White
League hes been organized, and this
oath has been taken by desperate and
determined men. 1t is not taken to
protect the right, but to secure the
forcible Inauguration of S. J. Til

The next State Poultry Association
meets in Cedar Rapids, Jan. 23d, and
will continue four days. This show
comprises poultry, pigeons, dogs, rab-
bits and large miscellaneous list,
canaries, parrots, mocking
birds, stuffed birds and animals, gold
fish, etc. The premiums are liberal
and competition is open to the world.
The dog department is an important
feature in this exhibition. The pre-
miums offered amount to nearly five
hundred dollars. Every effort is be-
ing made by the managers of the As
sociation to maze this exhibition a
success in every particular,and, judg-
ing from the interest heretofore taken
by the public in the shows of this So
ciety, we venture that this exhibition
will be one of unusual interest.-Du-

States Senator for six years, to sue
ceed Cooper, and Gen. w. B. Bates to
ill out Andy Johnsons's term, now
held by Col. Key, on executive ap-
pointmcnt.
Isham G. Harris has national rcp-
utation for treason and treachcry at
the opening and all through the war,
second only to jeff Davis. He was
governor of his state when hostilitics
commenced and done more than any
man in II, to take the state out and
to make 1t the theatre of bloody war.
Thousands Of unionists were driy-
en- out of the state, incarcerated in fil-
thy dungeons and murdered in cold
blood, through the Vaccinations OF
this scoundrcl, who in the name OF
reform is about to take his place in
the Senate of the United States to
make laws for loyal people.
Coi. Key, who has been senator by
appointment from q democratic gov.
ernor, for about a year has manifest.
ed respectable ability and unexpected
conservatism. He was therefore in.
continently kicked out, and General
Bates, one legged division com.

And so the work of transferring
tho confederate military and civil
government from Richmond to Wash.
