just ached to see him brought before

A Solid Acre of Silver.

The Rocky Mountain Tourist SAYS:
Gone of the most remarkable mines in
California Gulch is in leads three feet in
thickness, the ore from which yields
from 240 to 270 ounces of silver to the
ton, and lies like a coal bank in a strait
ficatiOn of limestone, dipping about Is
dogs. Two openings have been made
at points 600 feet apart, and sufficient
ore is in sight to make millions of the
dollars of our daddies.' The owners
have gone far enough to know that
there is a full acre of the ore in the one
solid body, and some conception may
be formed of the amazing richness of
this discovery by brief calculation of
its dimensions. A cubic foot weighs
10 pounds, and, as the ore lies, twelve
cubic feet make ton. There are 49,
$50 square feet in an acre, and the acre
of ore, being three feet in thickness,
makes 130,6S0 cubic feet, which, with
twelve cubic feet to the ton. makes TO-
900 tons, worth $3.50 per ton, or the
enormous value in the aggregate of
S2,700,000. The Crescent is another
mine worked like coal-bed, the ore
lying horizontally in the large room
that has been opened, the roof being
held up by heavy timbers with very
stout caps and tugging-poles. The ore
breasts from foot to three and four
feet, and occasionally very fine speci-
mems of horn silver are found"

A Giant.

In his rambles about the city, yester-
day, a Wing reporter met rather re-
markable character, no less than a
modern giant-a man who, during his
brief stay in the city, created quite a
sensation on the streets as he walked
about, and caused almost every passer-
by to turn and look back at him as he
passed. Charles Tumley, the character
referred to, is eight feet in height and
weighs something over 450 pounds
Tumley arrived in this city yesterday
from North Carolina, on his way to
New York in search of work at his
trade of plasterer. He is a quiet and
unobstrusive man in his manners, con-
verses pleasantly and modestly. Tum-
ley says he has three brothers who are
nearly as tall as himself, and weigh
equally as much, although all of them
are younger. This modern giant said
to the writer that he never made use of
a scatfold to plaster any ordinary room.
Iumley, in conversation, remarked
that he had received hattering offers
from prominent circus men, but he had
invariably declined to make his living
in this way. Our gigantic friend left
last night for the North in search of
employment. -Richmond { Va.) Wing.

BOrers in Apple Tees.

In relation to orchard culture, it NAV
be alleged that with good stocks prop
erly planted and vigilant cultivation,
the soil being good, the trees will sue
coed; but we have two insects in par
ticular that need watching, and must
be watched, or the labor will be in vain.
First, with regard to the flat-head
borer, little policy or engineering is
essential; in setting the trees lean nearly
fifteen degrees to the southwest; in
three years they will stand about right.
If not so set, then the borers, ever ready
for an opportunity, prey upon the tree.
When the bark is once killed the tree is
ruined. The other borer, Sdperda,
works at the collar of the tree, and oc-
cupies his place part of three years.
This borer is more under the control of
the orchardist than any other known
insect. Vigilant inspection of the trees
twice year will save them from being
bored and honeycombed near the roots.

EASTER MORNING.

Ostera! spirit of spring-time
Awake from thy slumbers deep!
Arise! and with hands that are glowing
Put off the white garments of sleep!
Make thyself fair, o goddess
In new and Respondent array,
For the footsteps of Him who has risen
Shall be heard in the dawn of day.
Flushes the trailing arbutus
Low under the forest leaves
A sign that the drowsy goddess
The breath of her Lord perceives.
While He suffered her pulse beat numbly;
While He slept, she was still with pain;
But now He awakes-He has risen
Her beauty shall bloom again.
o bark! in the budding woodlands,
Now far now near, Is heard
The first prelusive MARBLE
Vi rlvulet and of bird
o listen! the Jubiate
From every bough is poured,
And earth in the smile of spring-time
Arises to greet her Lord!
Radiant goddess Aurora
Open the chamber of dawn:
Let the Hours like garland of graces
Enrich the chariot of morn.
Thou dost herald no longer Apollo.
M, The god Of the sunbeam and Tyre;
Inc pride OF his empire Is ended,
And pale is his armor of fire.
From loftier height than Olympus
And the mists of old legends are scattered
In the dawn of the Kingdom of Love.
Come forth from the cloud-land of fable,
For day in full splendor make room
For a triumph that lost not its glory
As it paused i'll the sepulchre's gloom.
She comes! the bright goddess of morning,
In crimsoffand purple array;
Far down on the hill-tops she losses
The first golden lilies of day.
On the mountains her sandals are glowing,
Ger the valleys she speeds on the wing,
I'LL earth is all rosy and radiant
For the feet of the new-risen King.
Open the gates of the Temple;
Spread branches of palm and of bay;
Vet not the spirits of nature
Alone deck the ConQuerors way.
While Spring from her death sleep arises
And Joyous His presence awaits.
While Mornings smile lights up the heavens,
Open the Beautiful gates!
He is here! The long watches are over,
The stone from the grave rolled away.
We shall sleep was the sigh of the midnight
" We shall rlser is the song of TO-DAY.
~ Music! no longer lamenting,
On plnions of tremuous flame,
Go soaring to meet the Beloved
And swell the new song of His fame!
The altar is snowy with blossoms
The font is a of perfume
On pill lar and chancel are twining
Fresh garlands of eloquent bloom.
CnTtSt Is risen! with glad lips we utter
And far up the infinite height
Archangels the pean re-echo,
And crown Him with Lilies of Light

THE CULTIVATION OF
Sugar Cane.

There is no crop cultivated that
has caused a greater diversity of opin-
ion than that of the proper cultiva-
ton of the cane crop. Those who
know but little about it speak very
glibly of its simplicity, and say that
it should be cultivated like corn; 9TH
ers speak of it as possessing char
acter sui aeneris, peculiar to itself,
and consequently requiring a cultiva-
tion differing from all other crops.
The success of one planter who has
tried some new plan, inspires him
with the hope that he has at last
found out the great secret in raising
cane crop, when behold, the same
plan another season proves to be an
entire failure.
Now what does all this prove?
Sii ply thst our climate is not
adapt.d 10 the full development and
hsatnrEty .nf the plNst Tho cane be-
ing an exotic, requiring tor aus per:
feet maturity, from twelve to fifteen
months; transplanted to q climate
where under the most favorable cir
tumstances, it has scarcely half the
period from its first termination I'M
sil the time for harvesting the crop
arrives, and if during this short time
she season should prove unpropitious,
and its growth should be retarded
by drouth, OF its maturity be married
by wet weather, it has no time to re-
eover from either before stop'is put
20 its existence by freeze.
Now what is the Lesson to be
hearned from this. / think it is plain
ind unmistakablc. 1t is in the first
place to use such fertilizers as will
force an early termination and de-
vciopmens Of the buds Of the plant,
sud by early cultivation to force the
rspid growth of the stalk while young
snd at the proper season promote
she formation of sugar in the stalk,
DOR it's there that it js made aud ifit
70 not In the stalk at the time of har-
vestinr, there is no device that can
be invented which will ever succeed
in getting it out.
With this end in view the ground
4or planting cane should be prepared
><s early in the Winter after the grind
inc season is over as the control of
labor will permit, by pulling all the
pea vines, cornstalks, etc, into the
middle of the water 1urrow, that is,
provided the ridge of the preceding
crop is tho proper distance apart for
cane. which should be six and halt
OF seven feet. After pulling down
the vegetable matter as above direc-
ted. Stacked lime should be sprinkled
over it at the rate OF Il half bushel to
the row of one acre in length. This
nav be most conveniently done with
a manure distributor, The bed is
ohen formed by throwing six furrows
on the whole, and when thus prepared

boy and two mules will do as much
work with it in half an hour as q first
class hand will do in one day and
is infinitely preferable.
After digging out the dirt from
around the stubble whatever fertilizer
is intended to be used, should be
now applied in the furrow next to,
the cane, and light furrow run
around it to cover the fertilizer. IL
should then stand until the Young
canes put out and attain height of
six or eight inches and then another
furrow with the plow may be thrown
to it, and the hoes should follow and
cut out the weeds and grass in the
drill and pull in little dirt around
the cane.
The harrow should now be run
around the ridge and in week or
ten days another furrow with two
horse pIow thrown upon the side of
the ridge, but the middle where tho
cane trash is covered should not be,
disturbed until the final working.
The final plowing may begin about
the first Of June, and consist in run
ming around the cane with one horse.

enough to cut the roots, and every
ten or twelve days repeat the opera
ton by throwing another furrow
next to that, and so on until the mid
dies are all broken out: tho last four

run the harrow around to ,pulverize
the clods and pull some loose dirt
down in the middle to have loose

run out into and obtain nutriment
until its final maturity. 1t is too
often the case that all the soil is
thrown up around the cane, constitut-
ing steep compact hill and the
middles become as hard as brick,
which will retain no moisture and i'll
dry weather the ridge becomes per-
fectly dessicated, and every shower
of rain that falls is thrown down into
the middlcs by the tops Of the cane
and is absorbed by tho earth where
the roots of tho canes cannot pene-
trate and consequently is lost to the
crop, with tho ammonia and carbonic7
