The great giasticutis of the political
malcontents, Sam. Carey, imported by
Sam Wood, and like him, except hemay
be cleaner, rehashed the fiat campaign
stories here Saturday night, after much adj
vertising. He is roaming over the coun-
try under the title of the "great common
err" devoting his time to the public good
and singing tears over suffering human
ity at 25 cents per head. That's the kind
of patriot Carey is. 1t was expected
there would be an outpouring of the
downtrodden, but We arc informed they
didn't pour. In fact it is doubtful if there
was sympathy" enough to pay the hall
rent
Then Carey, not to lose any time, put
in Sabbath evening with temperance
lecture, also at % cents a head. Judge
of the disgust of those who came to hear
him, when they found the little wicket
of the ticket Office open, and that to OBJ
tain admittance the depositof quarter,
not fiat either, was required. Many went
away We do not know how many went
in, but not enough to make Carey's visit
to Emporia pan out very heavily for him
self or those who imported him to assist
in striking the chains from the enslaved
people, and to collect quarters at the door.

Tree FraudR

EDITORS NEws.-I am informed that
there are parties going about the city of
Emporia, and the surrounding country,
exhibiting samples of hot house grapes
asf 'Conover's, ''Or somebody's Seeding"
and representing the same as a valuable
hardy grape, and inducing the unsus-
pecting to buy the same at very high
prices Also large fine pears, pretend
ing that they are samples grown on three
year old standard trees, and that they
can be grown here, if the people will
only buy their trees, grated on some
peculiar kind of imported French
stock" and much more of such nom
sense, which has no real existence in
fact.
Our people are cautioned against all
such fancy fruits and advised to at
least carefully investigate the claims put
forth for these new things, before signing
notes for them at the extravagant figures
charged for them by the vendors
Respectfully,

A little party assembled at a promi-
nent residence in this city last Saturday
evening, consisting Of representatives of
four different sewing machines, as fol-
lows: Victor, Richardson & Co, agts.,
represented by their best operator; st.
John, Hall, Waite s. Co. agts; Singer,
Joseph Lear and Boomer, agts., and the
new No. 8, w. & W., c. B. Sprague, agt.,
operated by H. B. Essington, agt. The
lady of the house desired to purchase a
machine, and wished them tried, that she
might select the best machine in the con-
test. The Victor soon threw up the
sponge. st. John concluded to keep
the cloak on his machine and remained
quiet, but enjoyed the situation hugely.
The Singer fought stubbornly for one
hour, and was able to show up one infe-
rior sample of ruff1ing and putting. The
new No. perfected five samples of work
inside of fifteen minutes The samples
can be seen by inquiring at G. w. New
mans. Parties interested in machines
should call and compare the different
samples submitted Those wishing to
try the new No. 8 will please leave Or
ders at G. W. Newman's. A large lot
just received. dL68t6w7t1*

sprinp. with its profusion of rosy lilac

spring, with its prefusion of rosy lilac
blossoms.
The ailanthus, or Tree of Heaven, al
though a native of China, is successful
on our soils, and makes growth sufficient
ly rapid to satisfy the most fastidious.
It has an unfortunate habit of throw
ing up suckers, and at the poisoning
time our variety has an offensive odor
for few days.
Time will not permit, or would take
up the trees in the second list and dis
cuss the comparative merits of each, but
1 must be brief. I will only remark
that the box elder, (NeguadO Acerrides)
is handsome tree, valuable for a lawn
or yard where 1t can be protected, but
of no value on the street lines on account
of the extreme tenderness and softness
OF its wood.
Cottonwood is easily transplanted,
grows rapidly for few years, but soon
begins to show the effect of large borer
which works on it injuriously and soon
destroys it, unless in large groves where
the trees protect each other.
The others in this list have each GER
tian merits to recommend them, but
each has on the other hand failings
which render them unfit for general
planting. Those in the third list have
been weighed in the balance and found
wanting. Only in the most favorable
locations, with all the surroundings in
their favor can one Of them be depended
upon to attain the least success. Not
one is worth the time and trouble requir-
ed to plant it out. 1 would recommend
those having the taste for experiment to
test one or more of those specified in
the fourth list as think many of them
may be found to succeed. I need scarce
ly add anything more than have al
ready done on the subject of evergreens
and shrubs, further than to call attention
to the large list of hardy Towering
shrubs, from which we can select for the
purpose of adjoining small places like
village lots. Most people make the mis-
take of planting too large trees about
their places in town, where the low
growing shrubs should be used. l have
not spoken of the vines and climbers,
such as honeysuckles, wisteris, clematis,
etc., all of which are indispensable in
the decoration of a home.
Trusting my humble efforts will be
the means of assisting my fellow citi-
zens in rendering their homes more
beautiful, and in their efforts in this direc-
ton to avoid the failures incident to un-
experienced trial and experiment, 1
leave the subject with you.

School Literary Exercises.

EDITORS NEWS We had the pleas
ure of attending the exercises of the
Union literary society, on the evening OF
the 7th, at the Wells school house The
society has been running since Decem.
Der LIST, under the management of A. A
Wells. There has been some opposition
by few who feel that where ignorance
is bliss it's folly to be WISE" but their
numbers are gradually growing less, and
another decade will see them entirely
banished from our state.
The exercises opened with recita-
ton by Rosa Moone, which was very
good; also one by Grizzie Cannon, fol
lowed by dialogue, 1.-THE Seasons" by
four little girls. Next came recitation
by Caddie Allen, after which dialogue
was presented, THE Matrimonial Ad.
vertisement," in which Miss L. Moone
and Miss Lena Fife carried off the hon
ors; next was a defamation by Ella
Roberts, then song, "Gipsy's Warning u
by the Misses Ireland and Moone and
Mr.. Hammond. which was excellent, the
rich voice of Miss Ireland winning her
hosts of compliments. A tableau, "His
First Attempt" was very nicely present.
ed; then came burlesque on oratory,
by six gentlemen, including a negro,
said negro furnishing cause for the rounds
of applause which followed. Mr.. H.
Hollingsworth then displayed his skill
on the violin. The performance closed
with the dialogue, "a Drop Too Much, i"
in which Miss Annie Cannon and Mr..
H. Wells showed themselves equal to
most amateurs on the stage, and better
than some professionals.
The house was crowded, and your cor
respondent gained the indignation of an
"aged spinster" in the audience by sit
ting too close to our lady friend; but if
she forgives, we'll sit by her next time.

MEssRs. EDITORS To make a success
in tree planting you must first break up
the prairie sod. This is a sine qua non
in tree growing. Outside trees, as well
as inside, must have the sod first broken
up. This important omission is mainly
the cause of the failure in this country
in the successful growth of trees. 1t Is a
fatal error, and will be so found by all
who practice it. If you mean trees by
planting, first break up the prairie sod
Don't you forget it." j. j. WRIGHT.
