AT LONG BRANCH.

The number of excursionists to Long Branch was
small. owing. doubt. to the delightfully."- cool
breeze that stole through the usually hot streets
of the city. Many who left New York with
the best intentions in the world to spend
the day at the famous Jersey beach were
disappointed at the failure Of the Plymouth Rock
to land. Those who went down by the Adelaide
however, safely landed and brought back to the
city The Adelaide left pier No. ut half past ten and
met the Plymouth Rock about half mile this side
Of tho new iron pier. Captain Martin hailed the
smaller craft and asked that his passengers such
of them cared to go. be taken of. The captain

want Of long tenders the Plymouth Rock, the
contact of the two vessels exceedingly danger
ous, and the efforts to bring tho disappointed ones
ashore was abandoned. Several adventurous gen.
tlemon, however, managed to jump from tho
Plymouth Rock, and they with the other passen-
gors landed from the Adelaide. Tho land
ing made in two minutes and eleven
minutes after the first hawser was made
fast all the passengers were safe on the
pier. The Rock continued on her trip up to New
York. During the effort to land at the pier she
bruised her after guard and parted . hswser. The
second trip advertised for the Branch not made
by the Rock. but the Adelaide ran on regular time.
and shortly after six O'Clock landed and took the
party she had left earlier in the day.

The Farmers Garden.

We copy the following from the Rural
New Yorker: "The garden is not luxury
only, but necessity to the farmer who
wishes TO have an attractive and healthful
bill of fare and it seems very strange, in
deed, why it is so badly neglected by many
farmers. One reason, however, think is,
that il is usually in some corner near the
house, and so small, and planted in such
manner, that all the labor of wedding and
hoeing has to be done by the hand. Now,
believe in large garden and in planting
the rows the whole length, leaving space
enough between the rows to work Guilt
vator. BY this method most of the work
can be done by the horse, and in such a
garden it is pleasure to work, while in the
old-fashioned one of one or two rods square,
it is a back-aching, disagreeable job, and no
wonder it is left to grow up to weeds. The
location of the garden is of great Importance.
prefer gentle slope to the east or south,
so that the young plants may receive the
sun early in the morning. 1t should not be
very steep, for if it is, much damage will be
done by the rains of Summer; and it should
also be protected from the north and west
winds by high fence, or evergreens set
along the border. Many people never know
the luxury of good vegetable garden
They live from youth to old age without
learning how to manage one. They never
taste the best products except at the tables
of others. People are too apt to forget to
plant succession of vegetables. The soil
must be rich, the land well cultivated every
week or oftener. We need not here repeat
the special directions for the time of sowing
and the treatment of each vegetable. Every
seed catalogue gives these directions and
a catalogue can be had for postal card
Plants which thrive only in warm weather
must not be put out too early. Wait till the
sun comes out hot. Tomatoes, squashes,
sweet potatoes, corn, egg plants, will grow
then as if by magic"

spot. II does not vine, and the pods all
ripen up together, so that all we have to do
is TO pull them sun them day or two on
the hill, draw them in and thresh them.
They are so even and perfect that they need
no hand picking, but are ready for market
as they come from the fan. They do not
split in threshing, so that there is no loss in
that way, while the marrow, with the greatest
care, will have a quart of split beans to
bushel. This is doubtless the improved
variety mentioned by the writer in the
Cultiuaior, and there has never been enough
of them in the Boston market TO one-tenth
part supply the demand. The result is that
they readily outsell the marrows and peas
from twenty-five to fifty cents bushel. As
yielder they are remarkable. We get
from twenty to thirty bushels to the acre
planted among nursery trees and occupying
not more than half the land The trees
stand in rows four feet apart, and the beans
are planted between the rows after the first
hoeing. There is no better variety for the
table, as the preference of the Boston hotels
and eating-houses indicates. We consider
getting hold of these beans when we did

Is This So?

A writer on political economy-Henry
Carney Baird-says " increasing the value
of money adds to the wealth of one
man by making another poorer. When
money increases in value as fast as cattle
grow, the growth of the farmers cattle is
added annually to the value of the bankers
bond. The farmer swings the scythe and
sweats in the meadow from sun to sun,
while the banker lies in the shade and takes
the hay. When money is increasing in pur-
chasing power its value is in keeping and
not in parting with it. The producers
losses are the hoarders gains. Idle labor
starves while idle money fattens upon the
sweat and toll of industry. A decade of
falling prices-that is, of increasing the
value of the money-has given to the bust
ness and industries of the country the rest
and peace of the tomb"
Another writer says ." it is a very com
mon remark that when mechanics wages
are cut down, if other things come down in
the same proportion, the mechanic is Just
as well off. A mechanic is getting twelve
dollars week and paying six dollars for
board. He has six dollars left. Now cut his
wages down onehalf and his board one-half,
and he has only three dollars left But they
tell him that the three dollars will buy as
much as six dollars did. Let him buy gov
eminent bonds and see if it will"
Now are these statements Of fact, and if
so, what is the answer to them We will
thank anybody to tell us.
