Hoao to apply Manure to trees.-This
rule should be observed in planting trees,
shrubs and vines: Place no manure in
contact with the roots. Many persons
think they are doing nice thing for
their trees to sprinkle manure among
their roots in the process of planting,
but instead they do harm. If you put
the manure above the roots when the
holes are nearly filed, so when the dirt is
replaced it wilt be fairly covered, good
will result from the application. Cow
manure or well-retted stable manure is
used with success. To prevent injury
rom severe frost, and also to benefit the
trees by enriching the ground, coarse
manure, containing considerable straw,
may be spread over the ground, rather
thick, around the stems or trunks, as far
as the roots extend.

A paragraph giving description of the

several Of our Nevada exchanges, and the
usually correct MORNING APPEAL also pub

ballot, size, style of type, etc, we have
searched the law on the subject, and we give
eur readers the benefit of it, The ballots to
be, used at the approaching election, to be
Held on Tuesday, November 5th, 1878, shall

To avoid contests after the election, and that

that in hurrying from place to place he will

reproduce for the benefit of our few BUT ap-

and doubtless heartfelt things said of him in
the days when he presumed to come before
the people of Ormsby asking their support for
Office. For instance the editor of the Carson
Tribune in the issue of Nov 5, 1876 says;
Harry Mighels every one in the county
knows; his ability cannot be questioned, and
surely not his political integrity, for through
storm and calm, under fire and in the edito-

true to party. Mr.. Mighels will worthily

The regret experienced by the "Reformers'

finally into false attitude toward the Repub-

think his oratory of little account, and are
secretly anxious to traduce him. He would
have been valuable as their advocate, but his
fidelity to the party of his choice is unpardon-
able to those who tried to deceive him. Mr.
Bartine and the Republican party can stand

HAUNTED. Says the Sacramento Record

prisoner confined in it makes complaint that

means comfortable, and yet it is the lightest

of the strongest. w. E. Roberts, charged
with robbery, who has been occupying it
lately, declares that his sleep is often disturb
ed by mournful noises, and that whatever
article he is using for pillow-his coat for
instance-are pulled from beneath his head
during the night and dragged toward the door.
He refuses to believe the ghosts have any
thing to do with it, and expresses the belief
that the officers, or some one else having the
liberty of the place, pull the articles away by
the use of hooks attached to a pole-which,
of course, is not the case.

Another Version of the Story

From the Toledo 70 } Commercial, August 5.
There is but little doubt that the
story of that terrible outrage on the
person Of lady passenger on the
New York Central road is true. II
the Commercial was permitted to give
names and facts which were made
known to its reporter by promi-
nent railroad man yesterday, the sto-
Ery could be proven without a shadow
Of doubt. The husband of the lady,
however, made an earnest request
that, If the matter should be given to
public print-to which be strongly
obiected-names and even places
should be suppressed, and the report
of the awful occurrence was inten-
tioDally made incorrect in many par
ticulars. The facts were known to
the railroad man alluded to nearly
two weeks before the matter was
published.
The truth of the matter is that the
lady started from Detroit and went
over the Great Western road, bound
for Albany. Albany is her place of
residence, instead of Boston. She
was taken off at Auburn, but instead
of being taken to an assignation
house, was carried to first-class ho-
tel. The lady had changed cars and
was riding along, when she laid her
pocketbook down in the seat a mo.
ment to look in her valise. One of
the two men seized her pocketbook,
and thus came into possession OF her
ticket and all her papers. Having
lost her pocketbook, she was in their
power, and when she became excited
and demanded her property, the two
friends adopted the role of her pro-
tectors and played the insanity dodge.
The gentleman from whom these
facts, and many more, which we are
not permitted to publish, were OBJ
tanned says that there ia no truth in
the statement that the men violated
her person. She was middle aged
woman, and the men were actuated
by a desire for plumber. The gentle.
man alluded to is person whose
reputation for truth and veracity cam
not be doubted.

Congressman Sampson will open
the campaign in his district, at New

CURRENCY AND CONTRACTION.
The Actual Facts and Figures in
Regard to 1t in Brief Form.
From the Chicago Tribune.


The great burden of every fiat dem
agogue speech in the West is that the
country Is ruined by the contraction
of the currency" and by that term is
meant that the amount of money in
circulation available for the transac-
ton of commerce has become so re-
duced that it is no longer possible to
do business, to hire labor, pay wages,
or engage in production; that every
thing is brought to stagnation because
there is not money enough to enable
persons to deal with one another.
So far from this being true, never in
the history of the United States was
there such a plethora Of money; new
err SO much unemployed money anX-
iously waiting ameans of investment:
never SO much money which can be
used to employ labor if there We're
any profitable production to which la
Dor might be applied. 1t is well to
understand the facts, because the facts
of themselves refute the whole asser-
tions of fiat money spouters. From
an official statement prepared at the
Treasury Department we have the
amount of paper money in circulatiOnat
the close of each fiscal year from April,
1860, to July '7S. Down to about ga, the
bank-note circulation was that OF
State banks; after that date the
amount of bank notes given in the TIA
BILE includes State and National bank
notes. The amount of greenbacks
given separately, but under the head
of total paper money, is included all
the bank paper, all the greenbacks,
the one and two year interest notes OF
1868, the compound interest notes Of
1868 and 1864, the old demand notes
and the fractional currency. We first
invite attention to the to the amount
of bank notes and legal tender out
standing in each year. The following
are the figures:

"WOOL SHIRT IGNORAMUSES.
What Judge Knapp Used to Call the
Democrats VINO We're Farmers
and WoVkingmen.

Twenty-Five years ago 10. e. Knapp
was very effectually laid ON the polit-
ical shelf by the publication of an in
terview held with him by Delazon
Smith. Smiths exposure of Knapp
at that time was so complete that he
was utterly crushed out, for he and
his friends could make no reply
For many years Knapp was known
as the "bell wether," but gradually
he and the interview were lost sight
of. In looking over the old files OF
the Ledger we find the following ex-
tract from Smiths speech, which was
published in pamphlet form, and be-
lieving that the people would be in
terested in knowing the opinion that
MIR. Knapp once entertained of them
we republish it, Mr.. Smith said:
"Why," said the same man (Knapp)
to me, 1--WE go for our own interests
No anti-Dodge man shall have office
We have to build up the Democratic
party, and have given it all the char
acter and responsibility it ever had in
the country! No other man can or
shall go to the Senate but A. G..
Dodge! This Jefferson Democracy
is a great humbug. Talk of the intel
ligence of the people Look at
them! One-half of them can neither
read or write! They are just like q
flock of sheep-wool grows on their
backs, and if by calling them clever
fellows, and intelligent yeomanry,
and sovereigns, we can get them to
stan still long enough for us to take
the fleece oil, we are 40 much smarter
than the Wings! Give them three or
four men in each county seat, and l
have no reason to trouble myself
about the wool shirt ignoramuses
All you have got 10 do when all is ar
ranged is to whistle, and they will
come! just shout thunder, blood,
Democracy and General jackson, and
they will go it with a rush !"
Judge Knapp is now the greenback
and Democratic candidate for Judge
OF the supreme court. He appears
before the public as an amateur poll
'ician, SO innocent and guileless as to
publicly publish his belief that can
didate for the judgeship should ac-
cept the nomination from all parties.
All the people who lived at the time
Mr.. Knapp characterized them as
sheep and ignoramuses are not dead.
1t is important to them, and matter
not devoid of interest to the present
generation, to know what his opin-
ion is now. Will he give it? Or has
he secured the "three or four men in
each county seat" to shout thunder,
blood, Democracy and General Jack
