fered from his predecessors in making them
more capriciously. Then, having put men INTO
Office because they were active politicians, no
issued an order announcing that II anybody
wished TO remain in Office he should be an
active politician no longer. Thus, by strange
confusion, partisan zeal became at the same
time title and a disqualification for place
under Government, and both branches OF
the epigrammatic pledge were violated to-
gether. No removal except for cause. II IL

cept for Just cause. 1t is the right OF every
citizen to be an active politician, anu inc
President has no more authority to forbid
an Oflice-hOlder's going to convention than
he has to forbid his going to Sunday-school or
a horse-race. In the opinion of MIR. Hayes 1t
may be unbecoming that Custom House func-
tionaries should take part in party gatherings,
but. of course, Mr.. Hayes is not entitled to
force his opinions of prOpriety upon the rest
of mankind he has promised not to disturb
placemen so long as they do their duty and
lead decent lives A great many reformers al
low themselves to be deluded by phrases.

gotten what it means. 1t does not mean the
presence of Custom House officers at State
convention, where they have as much right to
be as the rest of u.s. but it means the
employment of the machinery of public
Office to fasten upon the people candidates
who are not their choice and the use of the
public money to pay the personal retainers OF
influential politicians. The whole scheme de-
pends upon the distribution of the Presidents
patronage, and he can break it up right away
by keeping to his promise of "no appoint
"ments except for merit, and no removals ex-
"cept for cause"

MR. ATKINS ON RETRENCHNENT

We would not be guilty Of finding fault
with the Committee on Appropriations or its
able Chairman, Mr.. Atkins, of Tennessee, who
on Saturday addressed the House on the
Legislative, Executive and Judicial ApprOpria-
ton Bill The Committee have cut down the
expenses of the Government i'll the most
sweeping and rigorous fashion. They have
not only reduced the salaries of Department
officials but have endcavored, in the language
of Mr.. Atkins, to eliminate from the service
all supernumerary and unnecessary public
officers. But it must not be supposed
that they have gone to work recklessly
and slashed at Offices and salaries in a loose,
indiscIiminate way. On the contrary, they
have discharged the delicate duty of re-
trenchment with such prudence and good
Judgment that Democratic patronage In Con-
gress has not been reduced by an Office or a
dollar, and the salaries of Congressman re-
main untouched. There's genius in this. The
Committee are in fine accord with what seems
to be the spirit of the time. This is period in

Mr.. Phillips of Kansas, has reached the

sum of $1,000, 100000 from the Treasury.

The banking is done as follows: The

two men with long-handled shovels
stand one at each side of the row and
throw the earth against the plants,
while a third man gathers with his

them compactly until the earth sup

Raising Celery for Market.

The culture of celery in the neighbor-
hood of Boston is quite different in
many points from the method described
by Peter Henderson and P. T. Quinn
in their books, both which describe the
method in use for the New York mar
ket, which, l should judge, will con-
sumo a large quantity of small celery,
such as would not sell in Boston before
the large stock of good, large celery is
exhausted. The gardeners here plant
only the kind known as Boston mar
ket celery" somewhat drafted kind,
but making a large plant when well
grown, about two feet long. The seed
can be sown outdoors in April, if the
ground is very rich and fine. If not, or
if it is desired to have it fully grown in
the early part of autumn, the seed
should be started in cool hot-bed
April l. The plants should be thinned
or transplanted when they have three
leaves to about four inches asunder,
and will grow at this distance until the
final transplanting, which takes place
whenever the land is ready and weather
moist, from July to Aug. 10.
The land for celery must be rich and
moist, or, if not moist, at least deep
and strong-such land as will raise a
good crop of onions. 1t loves drained
meadows, we'll MANFRED and worked
fine. tits customary here to take crop
of potatoes, onions, lettuce, cabbage or
beets from the land before the celery
crop; and, if the celery is wanted for
winter use, the whole land can be used
for these early crops and cleared and
| plowed in time for the celery crop.
But, if wanted for early use, the celery
plants must be set early (say June 20
to 2S) and then blank rows are left for
this purpose between the early crops,
and this will generally carry the celery
crop through without any more manure;
but, if it is thought that more manure
is needed at planting time, it should be
well decomposed and mixed with the
soil, for celery is a plant very impatient
of drought, and if planted on the rough
manure, in the drill, would seldom
thrive. The plants are set in rows, six
or eight feet apart, and one foot apart
in the row; and unless the weather is
moist they will need watering for Il few
days after planting, until the roots take
hold. If the plants get crowded in the
bed before planting, shear them or
NOW them half way down. Keep the
ground well cultivated, and, if the
weather is very dry, roll the land after
cultivating, which will prevent excess
sive evaporation and whitening of the
plants.
About four or six weeks before il is
to be used, and not sooner, the process
of earthing up begins; and here we need
all the earth we can get between rows
six or eight feet asunder, in order to
get good, salable celery. What sort of
celery they raise in New York, with
rows three feet apart and plants eight
inches in the row, may be best judged
by the prices. The New York celery
has to be tied in punches and sells at
two and half cents per root, while the
Boston celery, raised as above, is so

Sleep as a Medicine.

A PHYSICIAN says that the cry for
rest has always been louder than the
cry for food. Not that it is more i'm
portant, but it is often harder to obtain.
The best rest comes from sound sleep.
OF two men or women otherwise equal,
the one who sleeps the better will be
the more healthy and efficient Sleep
will do much to cure irritability of tenn
per, peevishness and uneasiness. 1t
will restore vigor to an overworked
brain. 1t will build up and make strong
a weak body. 1t will cure a headache.
1t will cure a broken spirit. 1t will
cure sorrow. Indeed we might make q
long list of nervous and other maladies
that sleep will cure. The cure of sleep
lessness requires Il clean, good bed
sufficient exercise topromote WEAKNESS,
pleasant occupation, good air, and not
too warm room; clear conscience,
an avoidance of stimulants and narcot-
les. For those who are overworked,
haggard, nervous, who pass sleepless
nights, we commend the adoption of
such habits as will secure sleep. Woo'a-

OF his enemies (and every successful business
man has his full quota Of envious rivals) are
