pay for their trouble. They broke into f. E.
Buxton's. corner Of Chestnut and Oxford, pry-
ing open the door with a jimmy, and forcing
open the money drawer. The latter was empty,
SO after helping themselves to the best tobacco
and cigars they left At Lawson Brothers, cor
ner OF Franklin ard Oxford, they pried open
the door after an attempt to pick the lock, took
three or four dollars N small change, box of
cigars and some good toblc,o, and lunched
off turnovers and milk. They entered f. E.
Lovell's, corner Of Wilmot, and broke into
Samuel Warren's, corner of Oxford and Boyd
in the same way, but did not take anything as
far as known. The object was evidently money.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Work for August.

Messrs. Hart, Benham & Co., of
Jacksonville, seedsmen, give in their
catalogue the following account of
work to be performed this month:
To insure a fall and winter garden, a
good deal of planting should be done dur
ing August and September; but heat
aud drought and beating rains often inter-
fere; and extra care in planting shading,
ETC., as well as frequent replanting is often
necessary. The good and thorough gard
ener, however, will persevere earnestly
and steadily, not counting anything too
much trouble" which brings him success.
Plant again, as directed last month, Brown
Case Knife. or other pole beans, and
Adams Early Corn. Okra may still be
planted, if your early supply has run out.
Our best CabbageS and CauliflOwers come
from seed sown this month. and properly
handled. Continue to sow Ruta Bagas
and other turnips, using plenty OF manure
in the drills. Sow Spinach for fall crop
any time this month. Manure heavily
and protect from the sun. Towards the
last of this month OF early in September,
SOW Onion seed thickly in drills on heav-
lily manfred and thoroughly pulverlzed
soil, the Trimmings OF the rows to be trans
planted in October and November. A few
and the next, using cool manures. such as
muck and leaf-mould cOInposted with
ashes. rotten chips, decayed Saw-dust, etc:
Sow Beets, Peas, ETC., towards the END OF
the month, but do not put IN full crops OF
these until September. Orange trees may
be transplanted now, in cloudy and rainy
weather. with areasonable hope OF success.
TO this we add, that sweet pota-
toes may be planted in Southern
Florida to the middle of the month,
and if the seasons are favorable good
crops will be obtained.
Irish potatoes may be planted in
the early part of the month, but the
seed must be Florida-grown and they
should not be dug until the tops are
killed by frost. High winds may be
expected this month or September,
so that anything liable to be injured
should be protected.
Girdle pine trees to deaden them,
as it is called.
Squash bugs have been somewhat
destructive to the young orange
shoots the past month. Many trees
look as if they had the e-back from
the injury caused by this bug. The
smell from them is very offensive.
They should be knocked off with a
piece of single and crushed. Early
in the morning and evening are the
times to look for them this month.

G. CODRINGToN, ESQ.
Dear Sir: Herewith | send you two pine

Association. All the varieties are labeled.
Please give US your opinion of the relative
merits OF the, different varieties. A com
mlttee was also appointed to report on
grapes. In due time you will get a copy
JAS. II. WHITE.
We return thanks to the Society,
and to Mr.. White, for the handsome
present, which arrived last week
The pine-apples were splendid, and the
grapes were really the best we have
seen grown in the State, in flavor and
size. They were much decayed, but
we got sufficient good ones to enable
us to form an opinion of their merits.
Such table grapes as those placed in the
Northern market, at this time of the
year, would bring large prices. Some
of them were three inches in circum-
ference. Mr.. Parce, an old grape
grower of New York State, and who
has now entered on the business here,
tasted them and expressed his opin-
ion that they were sweeter than
Northern grapes. The names were
destroyed by the decayed fruit, but
the white grapes were nearly as sweet
as sugar.

Fruit=Tree Enemies.

The report OF the State Horticultu-
raj Society, Of Georgia, is SO full OF
information that will be useful to the
fruit-growers of this State that we in
tend to extract largely from it, especi.
ally those subjects that give the ex-
perience of practical fruit-growers.
"The subject of curculio being
brought up by DR.. Brown, of Au-
gusta, it was discussed as follows:
The President-This year it com.
menced on the Alexander. | found
none on the Louise and none on the
Rivers, but found some on the Co.
lumbia.
DR.. Brown-All the fruit that falls
from the trees IN June is full of
worms. Mr.. Welch, near Albany,
had neither rot nor curculio in his
peaches. He used compound made
of

And of these made compost. He
applied it on the ground round the
tree and hoed it into the EARTH early
in the spring, before the 6uds put
out.

Atlanta, uses preparation with a
considerable per cent. OF potash in it.
He has healthy trees and vines, ex-
empt from insect and rot. .
THE BoRER.
The President = Killing up the
trees in March and letting them re-
main during summer, and leveling off
the hills during the winter, is pre-
ventive for the borer.s
The philosophy of it is that the
moth deposits its eggs in the soft
bark near and little below the sur
face of the ground. If the tree is
hilled up before the moth begins to
appear the hard bark of the body of
the tree will prevent the depositing
OF eggs. Leave the trees hilled up
all summer and level off again during
winter, taking care to begin the hill
ing up again before the moth appears
in early spring.

Goose Plums infested by borers, and

Strawberry Plants.

The time is near at hand for those
who have strawberry plants to ad-
vertise them for sale. Those who
are the first to offer their goods stand
the best chance. There is no better
paying crop in the State than the
strawberry and the success attending
the cultivation, and sale in the North
ern market last season will give an
impetus to an increased production.
The facilities for shipping are now
almost perfect, SO that little loss is
entailed IN tr01aSitu.

These two victories. although not achieved
without serious losses, will restore British
prestige in Zululand. If Cetywayo does
not sue for peace he will soon he torced
to surrender, for it is victory alone that
enables a savage king TO keep his warriors
together. 1t is only superior race that can
Withstand the pressure of defeat Like Slttlhg
Bull whom he resembles N many respects,
the Zulu King is fertile in resources, without
having the talent of using as well as winning
a victory. He has now been defeated, and the
ultimate result of the collapse Of his fortunes
will be loss of territory. Victories III the
field may be brilliant, but they cannot lend
lustre to the British arms in q war which Is
as unnecessary as il is iniquitous.
Offensive operations will soon be resumed in
another quarter. General Roberts is waiting
for the signal to advance upon Cabul, and the
commanders Of the remaining columns among
the Afghan hills are ready TO cooperate with
him. Delays arc dangerous i'll campaign
with mountaineers, and although the British
forces have not encountered serious resistance
at any point the uncertainties OF their sltu-
alton are depressing, and peace cannot be made
too soon. But when war Is wagcd FOR mag
mary ends it cannot be brought to a close alb
ruptly. The avOwed object of the British Gov
ernment is the establishment OF what Lord
BeaconSfield calls ~ scientific frontier for In
"dia.r Something of this sort was attempted NJ
Berlin when the Turks were authorized 10
station garrisons at the mouths of the BAL
kan passes, but military critics subsequently
objected to this strategical combination on
the ground that while the back doors were
closed i'm the faces Of the Russians, the side
entrance was left wide open. In the same
way Cabul and Candahar may be occupied
permanently by tie British, and yet there
will be side door ajar at Hcrat whenever
the Russians resume their march upOn Mory.
There will be no end of wOIIiment before
that " scientific frontier can be defined to
the satisfaction Of military engineers, Indian
diplomatists and Tory statesmen; and ere
that can be done Yakoob's soldiers must be
dispersed the border districts pacified and
the succession to the Afghan throne deter
mined.
