CORRESPONDENCE.
II. b. LAWSON, ID. ID.
Most Reverend Sir:

Most Reverend Sir:
Your recent lecture at the Episcopal
Church, based entirely upon historical
facts, undoubtedly stamps you as a
most devoted advocate of Christianity,
in the true sense of the word. If the
first part of your discourse relating to
the coming of yoau' Messiah and
Saviour and the dispersion of the Jews
has proven true, then the portion re-
ferring to their restoration, our firm be-
lief in the coming of ow' Messiah, the
day of the most perfect civilization,
must be true also and our strong invig-
Grating hope and unfailing faith in a
better future is not in vain. Your lib
eral views and correct Interpretation of
Christianity will eradicate many bitter
and intolerant feelings.
To assure you of our highest appre-
citation, mingled with gratefulness for
the kind words you so generously law
ished upon our race, we are only too
glad to open the gates of our Temple,
grasping at the golden opportunity to
listen to your eloquence, so properly
used for the advancement and enlight-
eminent of humanity.
Respectfully,
IsRAEL1TEs. OF MONROE.

Gentlemen /: Your kind words are
now before me. For the generous sem

I will, at your suggestion, deliver a
lecture on <sModern Civilization and
Judaism" in your Temple, Friday
evening, April 5th, at u o'c1ock-Deo

The New Orleans Democrat states
that the Governor has received no
official notification of the vacancy for
congressman in this district caused by
the death of Judge Leonard. This
notification comes from the Speaker of
the House. We learn that Judge
Ludeling contemplates being a candi-
date for the vacancy on the Republican
ticket. We hear of no candidate men,
toned as yet on the Democratic ticket.
There will probably be no order for an
election before the general election in
November, which would seem to be
soon enough.

European Grain Trade.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-The Mark Lane
Express says: 1.-The quantity of Eng
lish wheat marketed was again very lin
tied, although the condition of samples
has shown a decided improvement. The
imports of foreign wheat into London
have been moderate, and would have
been exceedingly small but for the UNI
usual mildness of the season, which per-
mitted shipments from Revel. Accord
ing to last Mondays arrivals list, one
half of the weeks supply was furnish
ed by North Russia, by way of this port.
The latest advices say that Revel is
now closed by ice, so that for the pres
ent we must not expect much more
grain from this source. The arrivals
from India and Persia are steadily de-
creasing, but the moderate sales which
East Indian products have obtained
have once more attracted the attention
of millers. The raising of the blockade
of the Black Sea ports has been depriv-
ed of its influence on trade by the po-
litical situation. The present is a time
of suspense, and business has moved
within moderate limits, which is all that
can be expected so long as such uncer-
tainty prevails. The country demand
for wheat has improved, and a fair con-
sumptive inquiry has been met at an
advance of a shilling per quarter. Bar
ley, maize and feeding stuffs ruled qniet.
With moderate arrivals at ports of call
the floating cargo trade for wheat has
been firm, owing to the unsettled state
of political affairs"

Pruning Apple Trees.

When my trees were set, | left the
lowest limbs about three feet from the
ground. | cut out all limbs not needed
to give the proper shape then cut off
about one-third the length of the side
branches, and left the center branch
full length. l left the limbs low until
the trees had three years growth. By
that time the roots had taken hold in
the ground. so that the wind would not
blow them about and make them lean.
Then | pruned them up to from four to
five feet high. This gave them a large
body and a large amount of roots to the
top they had, which caused a thrifty
growth and quick healing of the wounds
made in pruning.
| prune so as to have the top balance
rel the base of the trees as near as
possible. If a tree leans a little, have
the top heaviest on the side from which
1t leans. l try to have the center grow
up with limbs branching out all around
and up SO as to keep from having forked
trees-but some Of the varieties will
grow forked in spite of me. The Will
low Twig is the worst to fork of any va
riety [ have. I keep the top thinned
out so as to let the u shine all through
the tree as much as possible. Where
apples grow in the shade and do not get
the suns rays on them enough, they are
small, green, black-spotted and bitter
not tit for a hog to eat.
L aim to keep my trees pruned in pro-
per shape as they grow, so as not to
have to cut off limbs more than an inch
through, as the larger the wounds the
more apt they are to commence decay
ing: When it is necessary to cut off
limbs that will not heal in two years, |
paint the wounds with something to
keep them from cracking and letting in
water. L think the best time to prune
is in the open weather in February and
the LIST of March. The tree is then more
free OF sap, and the wood is more solid
than at any other time of the year,
which leaves the wounds solid and less
liable to rot than when the sap is in cir
culation. Care should be taken in cut
ting Oft a limb not to cut too close or
too far from the tree; for. in cutting too
close, it makes a larger scar than is nee
essary, and in cutting too far, it leaves
a stub, that dies and does not heal over
for a long time. The proper place is
where the limb commences to swell.
forming a knob next to the tree.
The best tools to prune with that I
ever tried. are a good pruning knife for
small limbs, and a fine, sharp saw for
large ones.

Canned Meat.

The increase in the trade of canned
meat has gone on so steadily and has
been built up so quietly that few have
a just and correct idea of it's condition
or extent. So long as the process was
confined to the simple canning of the
partially cooked meat and it's juices, the
poor quality and forbidding aspect of
the contents when opened prevented
any great increase in the trade. The
product was only consumed from necess-
ity when better could not be obtained.
Since the meat has been put up in a
compressed and comparatively dry form.
the demand has rapidly increased. Two
companies now in operation in Chicago
have buildings covering four acres of
ground, pay 10000 monthly to employ
es, of whom nearly 900 are at work.
They use from 5000 to 1000 cattle. and
produce 100000 cans per month. The
product is largely shipped to Europe,
and during a single week nearly 10000
eases of 4S pounds each were shipped
to Liverpool. AS each of these cases
on an average represent a single sheep,
the extent Of this outlet for our surplus
meat may be imagined.
