bulbs should be covered with ashes, which
growth. The branch of his subject on cut
tlngS was very Interesting. Three classes
were conSldered-thOse OF young sueculent
stems, OF half ripened stems, and of woody
stems. In the culture of cuttings, everything
depended on the roots, which are nOurishei
by the foliage in the first and second class
the stem; consequently the latter depends on
the soil and heat which are active stimulating
elements. When the heat of the soil is above
that OF the atmosphere, is the best time for
setting trees and shrGbbery for this reason.
Twenty years ago he had arrived at the con-
ciuSion that the growth OF cuttings is due to
the starch contained in the celubOSe portion
OF the wood. This conclusion has been veri-
ned i've or six years ago by series OF e. peri
ments by some German scientists. Mr.. Saun-

CAUGHT IN THE Acr.-Yesterday Afternoon,
about o'clock, Sergeant E. s. Dfnsmore, sta
toned at the President house, ON returning to
his home on 7th street, between o and p sts..
and entering the front door heard some one
stepping about in the rooms above and so N
heard jump from a rear window to the back
building. He ran through the house to the
| yard just in time to see a young man sc ing
| the fence into the alley. The sergeant called
| to him to stop, but he did not heed the call
| and kept running. The officer pursued him
| for several squares at a brisk run and finally
| caught him in street car, where he had taken
refuge. He was taken to the second precinct
! station, when he was recognized as an old Of
| fender, named Frank Delrhy alias Jones
| He was locked up and the sergeant repaired
| to his house, when he found bureau drawers
| and trunks had been rummage but nothing
| had been removed. The would be thief had
| entered by climbing up to window in the
| second story. In court this morning he was
| arrafgned, and Mr.. DinSmOre, Detective Nc
| Dewitt and Lieut. Vernon gave testimony OF
very damaging nature against him as to his
past record. Delphy, in defence, stated that
he was house painter and was in search of a
| job Of work. He denied being in Dinsmore S
house. Not being able TO maintain a charg
OF burglary, he was sent down to the work
house ninety days in default of bonds as va
grant.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL II
RIPENS.

There Is a curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Undcrhill, the well-known
grapc-gr of Croton Point, died in 1871.
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views OF such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
nan hand to be sold or any more to be made.
Inc grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for settlement
OF the estate and the sale of the wines on
OF 1864. described rs "Swcct Union Port,''
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine. and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
remarkable. and both physicians and vine
fanciers have q special interest in it as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
nands OF THO wcll-lnown wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurbers.-N. Y. tribune,
Aov. I2, 1871.
The above speaks for itself, but we would
add fhat this IS the pure juice Of the grape.

a CROWDED PASSENGERS TRAIN
BREAKS TfEHOUGH
HHIBGE.
About "A score OF People Killed and
40 Wounded.

HARTFORD, Jan. 1G.-A serious rail-
road accident happened on the Connec-
ticut Il Western railroad just beyond
Tariffville, about IL miles from Hart
ford at III 80 o'clock last evening. The
accident occurred at the trestle bridge
crossing the Pennington river just west
of the village. The train was bound
for MilleIton, and carried passengers
for all stations between this city aud
that place, who came IN 10 attend the
Moody and Sankey meeting. Two en-
gines, a baggage car and three passen-
ger cars went through the bridge, the
engines touching the shore, three cars
breaking through the ice in three feet
Of water, and one car resting on the
end Of pier. Seven bodies have been
recovered, and others are believed to
be in the wreck. Among the dead are
Mrs. Benz. Carman, Miss Minnie Al
len, two Misses McCanger, all OF Win
sted; one woman and two men not
identified. Miss Janet Warner, of Ca
naan, and Tri Whitney, Of WInsted ARE
missing, perhaps included among the
three bodies unrecognized. 1t is al
most certain that other bodies have not
been recovered. Among the more Sc
riously wounded are Rev. w. III.
Thomas, methodist pastor of Winsted,
both legs broken and side injured; en-
gineers Franey and Hatch, the latter
probably fatally. The wounded num-
Der 40. The killed are estimated at 10
or 20.
The train contained 10 cars, drawn
by two engines. Twelve physicians
went out with the relief train from this
city.

that way of going through the world.
Let US have little liberty-iust a lit
tie bit.
Do not treat your children like posts
to be set in the orthodox road, but like
trees that need light and sun and air.
BE honest with them. In old times
they used TO make all children go TO
bed when they were not sleepy, and
all Of them 10 get up when they were
sleepy. Laughter. j say let them
go 10 bed when they are sleepy and
get up when they are not. But they
say that will do for the rich, but not
for the poor. Well, il the poor have 10
wake their children early in the morn
ing, IL is as easy TO wake them with a
kiss as a club. / believe IN letting
children commence at which end OF
dinner they want TO. II is their busi-
ness. They know what they want 10
eat. And il they have had their liber-
~ from the first, they can beat any
doctor in the world. All the improve
ment that has ever been made in medi-
cine, has been by the recklessness of
the patients. Laughter. Yes, sir.
Thousands and thousands of years the
doctors wouldn't let man have water
in fever. Every now and then some
fellow got reckless aud said: II shall
die, l am so thirsty" and drank two or
three quarts of water and got well.
Laughter. And they kept that up
until finally the doctors said, THAT is
the best thing for fever you can do.
| have more confidence to agree with
nature about these things, than any of
the conclusions of the schools. Just
let your children have freedom, and
they will fall right into your ways and
do just as you do. But you try TO make
them, and there is some magnificent,
splendid thing in the human heart that
will not be driven. And do you know
it is the luckiest thing for this world
that ever happened that people are so.
What would we have been, II the peo-
pie in any age Of the world had done
just as the doctors told them? They
would have been all dead Laugh
ter. What would We have done, if at
any age of the world we had followed
We would have been all idiots, every
one. 1t is a splendid thing that there
is always some fellow that won't mind,
and will think for himself. And be-
lieve in letting children think for them
selves. / believe in havig family like
n democracy. III there is anything
splendid in this world il is a home of
that kind. They used to tell us: "Let
your victuals close yonr mouth" We
used to eat as though it was a religious
performance. / like to see the chill
dren about and every one telling what
he has seen and heard | like to hear
the clatter of the knives and spoons
mingling with the laughter of their
voices. had rather hear it than any
opera that has ever been put upon the
boards. Let them have liberty; let
them have freedom, and / tell you
your children will love you 10 death.
