PRoPAGATINa PLANTS BY CUTTINGS

ROPAGAllNt L LANIS B1 SNIllNIS.--
The season is approaching when this
mode of increase is practised by those
wishing to do so. The class of plants
capable of increase by cutting is very
large, including, among trees, catalpa,
mulberry, cottonwood, Lombar,ly pop
lar, and many others, MS well rs cur
rants, gooseberries, grapes, blackber'
ry roots, quinc $, and frequently APP
pies and pears as well as roses, wiegela
rosea, snow ball or virbunum, and
many of the ornamental plants. by
far the best mode of doing this is to
take off the cuttings in fall, and bury
all winter in dry place in the ground.
An acquaintance takes off currant cut
tings very early,-as soon rs the leaves
drop in August or September, -buries
them, and plants out next spring. He
claims that they then grow bet
ter than if set out with well-formed
roots.-T il Prairie Farmer.

Mr.. Wheeler c. Ellis, at Georgetown,
Col. and Miss Lima Sallers. at Wash
iugton Court House, Va, were married
by telegraph one day last week. Three
wears ago Wheeler Ellis, young,
poor, and working mechanic, left
Washington for the Far West to seek
his fortune, leaving behind n lovely
and lonely maiden to await his coming
at some future time. when his finances
would admit of marriage. This time
had come this week, but on account OF
business engagements, the young man
found he could not make the trip East.
4 friend arrived from Colorado, and
wished to take the young woman West
with him, where the marriage ceremony
was to be performed. But her mother
would not consent. Her daughter
must be married first before she set
out. The girl had waited long already,
and nothing but distance seemed to
stand in the way. At the suggestion
OF the Rev. George Carpenter the tele
graph was called into service. This
Gained the old lady's objections and
the preacher performed the ceremony.
No cards. The only spectators were a
friend or two. From the time of the
first message till the young man an
swered the solemn II do was some
thing over four hours. The bride
started Immediately for her home and
her husband in the Far West. What
God hath joined together by telegraph
let no man put asunder.

Uses of the Horse in South America.

The following is an extract from the
letter of a lady residing at Buenos
Ayres: You see that we are now at
Mercedes. On our way ont we noticed,
from the railway station, II great num-
Der of horses; not grazing, as they may
be seen anywhere, nor trying to run
races with the train, as they may be
seen any day, but with an important,
business like look about them. There
were few Guachos standing near
them, who also appeared to have some
thing to do, which is an unusual thing
with the natives, who seem always rs if
they had never done anything and
never intended to do anything. In re-
ply to our inquiry, we were told that
the horses had just been threshing; that
the sheaves of corn are put into an in
closed place like pen, and the widest
come -atable horses are driven in and
dashed to make them kick and jump
and so the wheat is threshed.
The horse" says MAYORS Spelling
book, sis q very useful animal;' but
surely none but the Guachos know its
value. When the milkman comes in
the morning ard is asked for the butter
ordered, he will perhaps say that he has
not made it yet. Back he Chambers on
his horse, where he sits surrounded by
his milk cans, and on he trots. Pres
entity he dismounts, opens his cans,
skins the butter off the top OF each,
puts it into cloth, mounts again, and
trots about selling his milk rs he goes
al ng. After few hours he returns
ana hands III the butter; and not bad
butter either when it is sailed and set
tied up.
