The Grand Sultan Apple.

This large, early and beautiful apple Zone
of the new Russians) has fruited freely with
us the present season, and fully sustains the
high opinion we got of it from the few
samples obtained from the tree in previous
years. Like many of the Russians it bears
very young and very profusely. 1t is Of
about the same season as the Yellow Trans
parent Jour description of which, last year,
was copied in hundreds of papers, all over
the Northern states and Canada), being
about gone by the Goth of August, or near
the time when Tetofsky and Red Astrachan
begin to come into eating. In quality and
size it is superior to the Yellow Transparent,
and bears its fruit quite differently, all over
the tree, and near the ends of the branches,
instead of upon short spurs on the larger
limbs. In color it is greenish white, chang
ing to pale translucent yellow at maturity.
1t is very soft, mellow apple, with de
cided and agreeable sub-acid flavor, and
some aroma. In size it exceeds well.
grown Porter apple, is similar to the Porter
in shape, but less conical. 1t hangs well to
the tree, and ripens in succession from Au.
gust LIST to August Goth. The tree is thrifty
but not so strong grower as Yellow Trans
parent.

"The History Of Intemperance."


Will such book ever be written ? Dare anv
man or woman hope to live long enough and
to have nerve enough to depict its horrors
We dare make the assertion that full his.
tory of this deadly curse would fiji more
volumes than can be found in any library in
America. Does any one doubt it ? Let each
one of us call up what ourselves have seen,
and we are but atoms in the great world of
humanity, and our range of observation so
small; yet, small as it is, what sorrowful
wrecks we have seen In an adjoining
town lives man, fifty years of age, whose
left him by an honored father, is
in the hands of guardian, who feeds and
lodges him as If he were an mbecile or help
less infant. Yet the man is not an idiot
True, his look is bestial, his habits filthy in
the extreme, and his words profane and
vile. Yet the man had a noble father and
mother, and he is an only son. He was
boy of uncommon brightness, but the wine
on the doctors sidehoard and the whiskey
in the deacon's still made him what he is.
The workmen in the still near his fathers
house made themselves merry many day
over the child's antics after they had given
him the poison. The doctor was always
away, the mother thought the child was at
play, and thus poor Bill became brute and
mailman. His only sister, lady moving
in the highest circles mourns her brother
worse than dead. In the same village,
a few years since, man left saloon intox-
lcated and fell over a bridge into the rocky
bed of stream which runs through the vii.
lage. Passers-by rescued him and carried
him to the saloon where he obtained his
liquor. The heartless keeper turned him
out to die. The morning light found him
lying stark and stiff by the side of the sa-
loon where he was murdered. He was a
noble, warm.hearted, generous man. Liquor
was his bane and his death. In Columbus,
Ohio, serving out sentence for crime, is a
man bearing an honored name. Belonging
to the best families in Nj county, on
both the fathers and mothers side, he was
born TO wealth and leisure. The father
loved a social glass. The son was toe
ready pupil. The result was a life of shame
and a felon's cell. In Elmira reformatory
is a parallel case. The wretched youth said
last winter: 81 have a mother in heaven
and | will try to meet her there" But, alas
he fell again and again. The curse was
upon him, aud he fell under its power
This is not 1.-THE of the illustrations which
have fallen under my own eye. The village
where two of these cases occurred has beer
repeatedly set on fire. By phomi Twenty
five families were turned into the street a.
