4 SINGULAR fact hes come to light in
connection with the burial of Mrs. Mary
Bochtler. whose sudden death was an.
nounced in the Wisconsin, of last eve
ming. 1t seems that she was tho mother
OF nineteen children, the issue of her
wedlock with the husband she leaves
behind. OF these children only three
survive. q grown up son and two daugh-
tiers. One of the daughters is married,
and resides in Michigan; the other is
only nine years cid, and lives at homa.
The children were all born IN, and bur
led from the same house, and now the
demise of the mother is added to the
score, constituting the seventeenth fun
eral that has been attended by the head
of the family, all ont of his own flock

A JUST EsT1MATE.-The indianapolis
Journal no doubt speaks truly when it
says: ssThere is no denying the fact
that the present session Of Congress has
had very disturbing effect on the
business interests of the country. The
disposition to tinker the tariff, the our
rency and the revenues, the heated par
tisan manner in which all these great
interests have been discussed, and the
striking lack of ability or desire to treat
national questions in national spirit,
have created ana kept alive g faverish
state Of feeling bot at all conductive to
general prosperity or progress. There
IS probably iles aa intelligent man ia the
United States to-day, outside Of Wash
ington, who does not believe that the
country would have been better off in
every point of view if Congress had not
nleb ai all this @inter.';

T1MoHowE, the person whose presence

TIMoHowE, the person whose presence
in the senate creates one OF two vacan-
cies in that body fer the state of Wlscon-
sin, thinks that If a man should ever be
elected president who is SO pusillanl-
nous that he can not discriminate be-
tween advice and dictation, the sooner
he quits the white house and lets HIM
self for coachman, the sooner he will
let himself for that calling for which his
temper best fits him." This is intended
to be very severe on Mr.. Hayes. but it
is simply the severity of a brawling
blackguard. Applying Timohowe's rule
to the senate, it would sentence that
person to even more speedy retirement
than he expects from the place he occu
pies without filing. It is probable that
MIR. Howe meaps to deny, in the portion
of his speech from which we quote, that
the MISUNDERSTANDING senators have
attempted to dictate to Mr.. Hayes; but
the bitterness they have exhibited since
the discovery was made that the presl-
dent can and does very clearly discrim-
ipase lesgaen edyice and dictatiop
proves the falsehood of the denial. 1t
Is the prerogative of the president,
while listening to advice, to act upon
his own judgment. In fact, that is
what he must do, if he performs his
sworn duty, for no ADVICE can relieve
HIM from the responsibilities imposed
upon Linn by the constitution. If he
finds it necessary-as he doubtless must;
otherwise he would practically abdicate
to disregard most of the ADVICE offered
him. that fact is not sufficient reason for
a declaration of war upon him by all the
disappointed advisers. It is because he
not the advice, of mushy senators like
Howe. and malicious senator's like
Blaine, and melo- dramatic senator's like
OonkliIg, that Hayes has now SO many
of that crowd yelping at his heels

A New YORKER ASSERTS that he has
discovered how to make illuminating
gas out of water at a trifing cost, and
number of interested capitalists believe
the invention is bound to revolutionize
gas making. The gas machine consists
simply of two iron boxes, one containing
water to be pumped into the other,
which is the instrument that releases the
oxygen and hydrogen gases.

English people are very much exasper-

stone the houses of all peace advocates,

WITHOUT going into any wild proph-
ecies of returning prosperity and indulg-
ing hopes of seeing trade and commerce
on the high-pressure scale of imitation
days, there is good reason to look for a
brisker business and very much better
state of things for a large proportion of
our people. There never was a better
prospect for fine crops than at present.
Stimulated by the hopes of high prices
caused by foreign demand, a large
area of wheat was put in, and the crop
is in most excellent condition. The
winter and early spring have been favor
able, the season is forward, and there is
every indication of an immense yield
Besides, there are said to be large
quantities of grain still held in the West
with the hope of selling it at high
price after the commencement of a gem
eral European war. The promise for
peaches, apples and small fruit is also
fine, though it is too early to build on
these with any degree of certainty. But
unless we have very unfavorable weather
later in the season there must be fine
yield. And the season is SO far advanced
that not much danger is apprehended.

Pruninr Duriug Win,er.

Our winters kill trees by drying them to
death. Pruning must be so managed as not
to increase this risk. In mild weather there
is no fear of the stems or branches of a
healthy tree drying up, because the roots are
continually sending up an oozing of crude,
watery sap through the innumerable cells of
the wood. The writer trimmed ND some
branchy young trees In his garden, December
81, at the close of a three-weeks' term of sim
gularly mild weather. Next day frost re-
turned in earnest, and on taking a bottle of
shellac to coat the larger stem wounds, it was
found that 1t could not then be applied on the
north side of the stems, because each wound
was covered with a large bead or button of
ice (exuded sap frozen). On the south side
the sunshine evaporated all the oxidation,
II moderate weather could continue with GER
tainty, there would DO no need of using var
nish to prevent the stem-wood from driving.
But when frost penetrates the soil and renders
the roots torpid, the supply from them is cut
of, and the stem and branches, which are ex-
posed to parching winds, begin to lose their
plumpness unless they are everywhere coated
with well-ripened and unbroken bark. Trees
adapted to exist in severely cold regions, have
resinous waterproof varnish on the exte-
rior Of the bark. So If we prune early in the
winter close to stem, we risk serious injury
unless we coat the wound with a waterproof
covering. III we prune sometime before win
ter sets in, nature covers the wound with a
protective film and no harm follows unless
the tree is too weak to furnish this. If we
prune as soon as severe and protracted freez-
ing is over, we are safe. But if we defer the
pruning until the warmth and wet of April
has gorged the stems, and no leaves have vet
opened to give it exit, we run the risk of open
ing continuous flow or bleeding, which will
not only prevent the wound from healing, but
may greatly iDjure the bark down which 1t
oozes.- Country Gentleman.

A late number of the Journal of Horticul-
ture contains list of the best forty-eight
roses, made up from the votes Of a number
Of the English rose cultivators, and the writer
in that journal, In order to compare this Sc
lection with a similar one in America, wrote
to Mr.. Ellwanger of the Mount Hope MUIR
series, Rochester, for the best forty.eight in
the collection at that nursery. The result is
rather remarkable when it is remembered
that there are thousands of varieties in culti-
walton. No less than twenty-nine in Mr..
Ellwanger's list were contained in the selec-
ton of the English florists, or more than
three-fifths of the whole number. 1t NAV
therefore be laid down as truth that the
best selection of varieties is not to be made at
random, but there are grades of merit in
which the best connoisseurs will be likely to
agree to great extent.

Texas Cattle Ticks.

Ticks are numurous on horses and cattle
summer months in this part of Texas ;they are
not nearly 80 common where the soil is sandy.
l have not heard of any remedy for them ex-
cept using sulphur mixed in the salt given to
cattle; they will then drop off whenever the
animal sweats. They are not confined TO
Texas; l have heard Missourians sa7 that
they are found in that state; also in North
Carolina. No Texan would believe that thew
cause disease in cattle. They are not pleas
ant for either man or beast. but | had the
pleasure of living year in Michigan, during
which | suffered more concentrated misery
during three or four months of mosquitoes
than have in four years from ticks in Texas.
l have heard that an ointment made of sui
phur and grease will cause them to drop off,
but have never tried it. They are blessing
in disguise, sent by kind Providence to keep
the Texan from becoming too lazy to scratch
himself.-Cor. Country Gentleman.
