National Convention on Yellow Fever
10..-I' PrOpOs, d.

Charleston Is. C.) Newe and Courier. a...
When the scourge for this time has
passed away, and the people has leisure
to reflect, it is hoped that this all.import-
ant subject will not be banished from
their minds, but that a national conven>
tion, consisting of delega tes from all
parts of the Union, will be called to con.
slider it These delegates should be men
of position and intelligence-men who
have stake in the communities which
they represent. They should collect from
the testimony Of experts, public records,
private diaries and contemporary news
papers all the information possible to be
had on the subject. and they should
elaborate some practical plan by which
the occurrence of such pestilence here.
after would be rendered morally impOssi-
ble If the power of the general govern.
ment should be requisite to carry out that
plan, then congress should take the matter
in hand and pass the necessary laws.

Method Of Cultivation Of Timber by
the Winner Of q Prize.

A statement made by Hiram o. Minick,
of Nemaha County, Nebraska, to whom a
premium was awarded for the cultivation
Of grove of not less than 1000 trees,
gives the following account of his method
of cultivation:
The ground was plowed in the spring,
the same as for crop Of corn, and crossed
out at distances of five feet by seven.
The cottonwood yesrling trees were pro-
cured on a sand-bar in the Missouri River
in the fall previous, and heeled in during
winter. By selecting spot on the sand.
bar where surface Of the sand IS but little
above the water in the river, the yearl1ng
trees can be pulled out with great rapidity,
probably at the rate of thousand IN
twenty minutes, the operation being sim
liar to pulling fax, and the trees can thus
be taken up preserving their rootlets en-
tire, thus securing them in the best pos
sible condition for transplantiDg; and
taken at this age they receive but little
check in their growth by the operation.
Part of my grove was planted with the
spade, the operation being the same as for
a hedge. Another part Of the grove was
planted by drawing deep furrow with
the plow, and dropping the trees at the
crossing f the burrows, the roots in the
furrow and the tops projecting out. and
then cover by throwing another furrow-
slice upon the roots and base of the stock
with plow. This left the trees leaning
at an angle cay Of forty five degrees, and
fearing this position would be injurious
to the trees, took the pains to place
some of them carefully erect; but upon
an examination of the trees after one years
growth no difference wss perceptible in
those left leaning and those Strengthened
up, as they invariably start their growth
from bud near the base Of the stock and
grow erect. The portion Of my grove
com posed of cottonwood contains about

5000 trees, and was the work of two
men, q boy and team, one day planting.
Tie ground was cultivated similar to corn
for two years after planting. This re.
quired one hand and horse two days each
year to five acres of ground. The maple
portion Of my grove was planted by pre-.
pairing the ground the same as above, and
dropping the seed (Which had been pro-
cured from trees on the Nemalla River)
in the furrow and covering with the har-
row, and cultiv vating as above. The seed
ripens about the middle If May, and is
generally very abundant. The following
may be considered as fair estimate Of
the cost of the grove: ....

The st. Paul Hot Il Runners,

, AOOuC S-OCiOCh ldSt evening very ulS'
graceful scene occurred between the depot
at the foot Of Jackson street and Bridge
square. A soldier Of the Seventh cavalry,
who for years has been out on the frontier
fighting Indians, and who was with Reno
at the great Custer fight, was yesterday
discharged a: Fort Smelling and paid of,
The amount paid him, and which he had
saved by rigid economy and frugality,
amounted to something over $400. The
soldier, who seems to he an intelligent
man, belongs in New York State, and had
been saving his money for the purpose of
going home. Having obtained his money
and his discharge he left the fort on his
way to New York. Upon arriving in St.
Paul he left the cars with view to going
to the Sherman House to spend the night
No sooner had he left the train than he
was beset by all the hotel runners at the
depot augmented by several railroad run
ners He was surrounded and hauled
back, and in this way prevented from 60.
ing where he desired t" go-to the Sher>
man House. The runners pulled and
hauled him around worse than they could
If he had been dog. There was no pos.
sible way for him to get out of their
clutches They beset him on all sides,
and yanked him around in very rough
manner, and with no small degree of vio.
lence. As soon as the soldier started to
90 one particular way they would head
him off and pull HIM every way, each way
representing hotel. The man finally
managed to reach Third street, but the
crowd was still with him and surrounding
him. The continued to pull and haul
him around till they had almost reached
Minnesota and Third streets, when hc wa.
rescued by police officer. It was Ger
tainly one of the most disgraceful scenes
ever witnessed in this city. It was with
the greatest satisfaction that he saw the
police officer, and he begged him to take
him into custody and put him in safe
place. He was taken to the City Hall
and placed where the sharks will not he
able to reach him at present The soldier
says that he has faced death many times
that he has fought the Indians where there
was good chance to be picked of, and
the slender thread was very slender indeed
but that the sensation of fear came to him
last night in most terrible form. Il
seemed to him to be like pack of wolve.
chasing rabbit. He was very grateful
for the chance of getting into the City
Hall. There can be no doubt the city
ought to stop this disgracefal conduct OF
the part of these hotel runners. They
are very impertinent, persistent and deter
mined. They observe the rule that tht
council lays down for their guidance, anc
fight the council and the police. There
Is no use for the police to arrest them a.
they cannot be convicted. In the mean
time they are plying their vocation by in
sulting people that arrive on the trains
and pulling and hauling them, first ont
way, and then another, as though they
were authorized to lay their dirty paw.
upon any one they see fit to tackle.
