Notes on Orchard and Garden Work.

/
This month is the orchardists and
gardeners harvest time-not so much
for the ingathering of fruit and other
crops, as for the collecting of the expe-
rience of others, and the harvesting of
information that shall be of use hereaf-
ter. This is eminently the month of
fairs and exhibitions. Besides the spe-
cial horticultural shows, the state fairs,
and il. many cases the local or county
fairs, have special department for
garden and orchard products, and the
cultivator may properly give up good
share of this month to attending these
gatherings-no altogether rs matter
of recreation, but as an investment for
profit. The profit we refer TO is not
that which comes in the shape of pre-
miums awarded to the articles he ex-
hibits, for while ii is a laudabe ambi-
ton to carry off as many as possible of
these, this should not be the sole, or
even the leading motive for attending
the fairs. The principle profit comes
from seeing what others are doing, see
ing new varieties of fruits, vegetables,
ETC., i'll examining new implements,
and above all, in meeting with other
cultivators, and in talking with them
as TO their ways and methods. The
successful men are generally enthusi-
asts in their pursuits, or, as often said
-''ridc hobbies" Such men are will
ling and glad to talk with others engage
ed in similar occupations, and it is
hardly possible for a wide-awake man
to visit even an ordinary fair, without
learning something that he can turn to
a useful account. Making the acquain-
lance of variety of fruit or vegetable,
that in earliness or other quality is SUI
perior to that we now cultivate, will
often put one on the road to prosperity.
But one should visit the fairs to show,
as well as to see. If every one held
back, because he felt sure that some
one else would have something better,
there would be no show at all. 1t is
very disgusting to the managers of a
fair, as we know from experienced be
told by a visitor: 'Tve got at home
better grapes, (cabbages, or whatever,)
than any see here. IF you have
made mistake in not exhibiting, do
not say anything about it, but resolve
TO do better next year. The proper
course is, to show the best YOU have
from the orchard or garden, and if 9TH
ers have better, try to learn the cause
! of the inferiority of your own.
This is the gala year of the fruit
growers, as the biennial session of the
American Pathological Society will be
held September II to II at Baltimore,
Md. This is an association which eve
ny fruit-growcr can, and which every
one, large or small, should join. The
work of the society consists in record
ing new fruits. and in cataloguing the
success of varieties in the different
states. Besides this, and quite as i'm
portant, are the opportunities for social
intercourse, and the great advantages
that come from personal acquaintance
with fruit-growers from every state and
territory in the Union. We strongly
urge all engaged in fruit culture,
whether rs amateurs or as Il business, to
connect.themselves with this very useful
national society,"

the deserted villages would have
answered the wants OF the people quite
as well, had they bestowed upon them
the same energy given to the develop
ment of new countries. So, if the
Western farmer now finds more wheat
and corn in his bins than people to buy
it, and the Eastern capitalist more rail-
roads than can be kept in use transport
ing them, they had both better stop a
moment and consider whittier their
schemes are leading them. With a
year of plenty of food, it is good time
to study political if not personal econo-

The Result Of Gambling.

They may not grind daggers and pestle
poisons on the Mediterranean with the
same zest as of old, but their crimes are
as brutal in purpose, and as unerring in
execution as they ever were. Jealousy

that she might need his help. She lett to

Dead Far From His Home.

A Washington paper of a late issue
says: "A young Japanese student named
| Ichiku Kanraku died in Georgetown yes
terday morning. He came to this country
in March, 1876, with his Uncle, General
Saigo, the chief commissioner from Japan
to the Centennial Exhibition Intending
to enter the Naval Academy at Annapolis
he was placed in preparatory school at
| East Hampton, Mass, where he remained
until November last, when on account of
impaired health, he came to Washington
| te recruit his strength. He resided with
the japanese minister, Mr.. Yoshida, who
took the most tender care of him, and had
some difficulty in preventing the ambi-
tious youth from overtaxing his physical
energies by study. About two months
ago it was thought that his removal to
Georgetown would be beneficial, and the
Rev. DIR. p. H. Sweet and wife were in
duced to take him in their quiet family.
Shortly afterward his condition became
alarming, and the best physicians were
called in, when it was found that he had
consumption, and at the age of twenty
one years he died, as above stated, Mr..
Yoshida and several japanese friends hav-
| ing been present at the closing scene. He
was young man of the purest and most
refined character, and as student OF
mathematics he stood in the front rank.
| Dr. Sweet says that he had never known
his equal in that particular. He died
without any suffering and in perfect
peace, retaining his reason to the last mo-
ment, and his last words were: Beau
tiful tree-my mother!" Not even in
death could he forget his filial piety
That mother, when she hears the sad news
in her far-of home will find consolation
in the thought that her boy was happy in
| his death, and that the attention he re-
ceived from Mrs. Sweet during his pro
/ tracted illness were all that a mother
could desire His remains will be buried
in Oak Hill cemetery"

At that moment three men on horse
back came down the street, and the Ter
TOR jumped out with a screech and shout
ed:
Heres the hollyhock you are looking
for Here's the modest violet who wants
to be carved up and fed to the wolves.'
They weren't looking for him, and
they got away on a gallop. The party
from the East went out among the dig
gings and were absent a whole week.
When they returned to Custer City they
inquired for the Terror, and hotel keep
er replied:
"Yes; they did use to call him the Ter
ror, believe, but they didn't know him.
He was whOoping around here in his usu-
al awful style three or four days ago,
swearing that he must kill somebody,
when tinsmith from Dayton, Ohio, took
his rifle and bOwie-knife away, spit to-
bacco juice on his hat, and then kicked
him the whole length of this street. The
Terror was an awful coward, gentle men,
a regular rag-baby under the bed-and
he'll never be seen in Custer again"

But, somehow, it was not very good fun
this doing as she wanted to, and having
no mamma, and Jessie went to the win

said Jessie, and so she ate the piece of
