Time to Transplant Curraats.

Almost all persons regard spring as
better time than autumn in which to
set our trees, vines, shrubs, and
bushes. An exception, however, is made
in the case of currants. The bushes COM
mence to grow in the spring before the
ground Is in a condition to be worked
If transplanted as early as possible, most
Of the young sprouts will be destroyed
while the growth of the old stalks will
be checked. By getting out bushes in
the fall gam Of years growth may be
secured: When transplanting them they
should be pruned by cutting away con-
been in their new positions few days
and the ground has become settled over
the roots, it Is best to apply coating Of
manure. This will stimulate their
growth in the spring, and help secure a
crop the season they are planted out.

IT was common for old DR.. Sturm of
Cincinnati to threaten suicide He made
careful preparations for death on several
occasions, and walked to tile river with
the avowed intention Of drowning him
self, but every time his courage failed.
His friends treated the matter as joke.
A few days ago, brother physician said
to him, "Why don't you use cholral;
that would cause much easier death
than drowning" That very night DR..
Sturm killed himself with chloral.

Slavery in EgYnt.

The treaty which the Khedive made
with England in August, 1877, fixed
seven years as the limit during which
slavery may still exist in Egypt, twelve
years as the period for the Soudan. 1t
remains to be seen whether at the expi-
ration of these periods public opinion
In Egypt will have changed sufficiently
to permit this reform. At present the
domestic system Of the West is I'M
known. All female servants are slaves.
and as long as the harem system con-
times they could hardly be otherwise,
while all male attendants are not only
slaves, but they have been cruelty mu-
tilated. If you abolish slavery you in
crease polygamy, say the Arabs. An
Arab will take another wife if he cannot
buy slave. Domestic slavery of some
kind seems necessity until education,
contact with Europe, and an example in
high places gradually change the habits
and traditions of the East.

Liberian Emigrants.

The negro exodus toKansas this spring
has quite overshadowed the threatened
exodus to Liberia which the departure
OF large colony from South Carolina
made quite an issue few months ago.
The bark Monrovia, which has just re-
turned from Liberia, brought back a
number of Disguised emigrants, among
them one family who went out in the
South Carolina colony, but it will soon
start back with another load of negroes
from the Carolinas and Georgia, sent
out by the American Colonization So
ciety. The reports which come from
Liberia are not encouraging; indeed,
they leave little doubt that the republic
is retrograding rather than advancing.
Its Government is extravagant and the
expenditures all the while exceed the
revenue; the inevitable color issue
makes trouble in jealousy between the
pure blacks and the mulattoes;
England is disputing the right of
Liberia to sixty miles of her
boundary and threat
ems at an early day to make a demand
for sixty miles of the southwestern
coast; there are troubles with the sur.
rounding tribes, who feel bitter con-
tempt for the imported negroes, which
is heartily reciprocated, and things
seems to be at loose ends generally

A cable dispatch announces that the
Sho-wae- ae-mette Boat Club. of Monroe
Mich, who made 30 good a record at Henley

assigned is that the members of the Sho-wae-
cae-mette crew have been mechanics or arti-
sans, and are, therefore, not entitled to rank
as gentlemen amateurs" The real reason
for the exclusion, of course, is the certainty
that the Shoes if admitted to participation,
would bring home from Henley some Of the
