The President has not given up his ex-
cellent idea of Southern trip. He said to
the editor of the Memphis Appeal on Sat-
urday that he intended at no very distant
day TO make trip through the South, so as
to meet the people of that section of the
country at their own homes, and learn their
views in relation TO what should be done to
restore prosperity and bring about last
ing reconciliation between all classes OF cit
liens. 1t was his opinion that what the
South needed now more than anything else
was the immigration of vigorous men from
the North so as TO give activity TO the mer-
camille and agricultural interests. He was
glad to hear that the opposition TO North
ern persons who went South to help edu-
cate the colored citizens was dying out,
and, instead, to know that sincere desire
was manifested on the part Of the whites TO
see the negroes educated. A few years ago
Oberlin College, Ohio, sent a number of
graduates South to teach, and they were
badly treated, and many returned home on
account of the hostility manifested. Such
as remained now write that better feel
ing exists, and they are no longer treated
with rudeness nor regarded as intruders.
The President said he was glad to see this
change in affairs, and hoped the Southern
people would continue to offer no opposi-
tion to the progress being made with the
education of the colored race.

THE PROPER, WAY TO ADDRESS THE
PREsIDENT.-We notice that the practice of
addressing the President of the United
States as Ellis Excellency Rutherford b.
Hayes" has greatly Increased of late. Many
persons who should know better apparent
ly regard the title as proper one. General
Dix, in the letter which he has written to
President Hayes on the subject of civil SER
vice reform, addresses him as "His Excel
lency." Mr.. c. G. Fulton, the editor of the
Baltimore American, not long ago wrote
Mr.. Hayes a letter, in which he used this
same title. We even find it in the annual
catalogue of so well-known an institution
of learning as the Columbian University,
itself located in Washington, wherein we
are informed that ellis Excellency r. b.
Hayes is &c O0ciO, one of the officers of its
governing board. This is rather surpris-
ing. We thought everybody knew that the
question of what lille should apply TO the
President was discussed at length in the first
Congress, and 1t was determined once for
all that he should be addressed simply as
"the President" In the Senate, in which
ideas different from those of the mass of the
people prevailed, an attempt was made to
give him high sounding title. Various
forms were proposed, and the Senate once
voted to call him "His Highness." But
the House of Representatives prevailed and
prevented the authorization of even "His
Excellency." This is the legal title Of the
Governors of other States. 1t ought not to
be preiixed to the name of the President,
and member of the Cabinet who should
use it would deserve a reprmand for such
departure from the proper forms of Of
fetal language. or course anybody outside
of official life who chooses may use this or
any other respectful title, but still it is
much better taste simply TO say, "To the
President" -BOStOn Herald.

WILD HELLEDoRE.-Perhaps II would
interest some of your readers and induce
them TO make a little extra exertion to save
their currant, raspberry and gooseberry
bushes, and also their rose bushes and 9TH
err ornamental shrubbory, to tell them that
they can do so without even the triling ex-
penso Of forty or fifty cents pound for
powdered white hellebore. l suppose the
druggists would have us believe that there
Is u very considerable difference between
the hellebore of commerce and that which
anybody may dig and prepare at little
trouble aud no expense; but the pests
which we would destroy fail 10 distinguish
between them. 1 dig few roots of the
wild bellebore, commonly, though errone-
ously called poke root, and without wash
ing or any other preparation lay 1t away
upon shelf in the woodshed TO dry. When
any of the pests Of the garden or shrub
berry put in an appearance, l put root TO
about two quarts of water, in an old Tin
can, steep 1t and apply the liquid with an
old broom or a wisp of straw. sprink-
ling pot might be better for the low BUSH
es, but prefer the other, as l can get over
more ground with the same amount Of the
preparation and il is often more eflicacious
if applied from below which can better be
done with the wisp. 1 should use the arti-
Gle bought at the drug stores in the same
way rather than asa powder. Such is the
practice Of some of tho best small fruit Gull
turists about Montreal, to whom am in
debted for my earliest information on the
suhiect.-O. s. Bliss in Country Gentleman.
