Yesterday a fruit-dealer on Mar
ket street, incensed by the liberties
taken by the loaiers with his wares
displayed at the door, placed a half
gallon of Cayenne pepper in a bas-
ket, labeled IL New Zealand Cher
ries," and hung it in a conspicuous
place in front of his stand. 10
few minutes the next door neighbor
sauntered up, inquired how trade
was, picked up New Zealand cher
ry, placed 1t in his mouth, and
suddenly left TO attend to a custom

on his coat-sleeve. supposed that
New Zealand was getting warmer
every year, wished the dealer good
morning and departed, lamenting
the growing weakness of his eyes
in the sunlight. A chronic dead
beat came up. took a mouthful Of
cherries, spluttered them out, with
an imprecation, all over the fruit,
stuffed a pear, a banana and a
bunch of grapes into his mouth TO
take the taste out, informed the
dealer that he would have hlm
prosecuted for keeping green fruit,
and went down the street to the
pump. A lady with two children
next appeared, stopped to admire
the cherries, asked il she mightn't
just taste of them-she never had
seen any before-supplied the chill
dren and walked away with face
fiery with scorn and anger, while
the children set up a howl that
brought all the people to the doors
and windows and drove all the po-
licemen of the street. Thus the
fun went on all the morning. The
fruit dealer never laughed 80 much
in his life. The occupants Of the
adjacent and opposite stores and a
shoal OF small boys soon learned
what was up, and watched and join
ed in a ringing roar as each new
victim tried:the cherries. Finally

ed up, inquired the price Of them
ere New Zealand cherries, invested
in a pint, put one in his mouth,

dealer a lingering look Of mild re.

'waded into" him. When he left
the fruitman with tendencies TO

red nose, purple face, sprained

scattered around among the small
boys, while the same ringing roar
of laughter was going up from the
lockers on Courier-JOurnal.

contest. We might extend the cat
alogue almost indefinitely: but we
have no appetite for the work, and
the foregoing IS sufficient for our
purpose at present, which is, il pos
sible, to set our friends Of the rank

and in other lands their action will
be regarded rs a premeditated and
deliberate attempt at repudiation,
and we cant controyert it. Tennos-
see has been regarded as the most
conservative OF the Southern States,

our question. But it is question
that will be asked with force on
every stump in the populous North

question being asked to-day in the
great State of Ohio, where a bitter
canvass is commencing, the result
of which will have no little bearing
on the ensuing Presidential contest
We have done, and respectfully
take leave of the subject. We urged
the acceptance of the compromise
because we believed, felt and knew
that it would be best for all parties.
The result has not changed our
opinion, although it has largely dis
appointed our expectations. What
the next step will be we have no
means of knowing. The action on
the 7th precludes any more efforts
at compromise and destroys all
faith in an equitable adjustment.

The PEEPARATIoS OF THE GROUND. The
failure Of most amateur gard. uors in raising
plants from seeds or obtaining the best pos
sble growth of pot plants may be attributed
to the quality of the soil which they USE
While it is true that some plants will thrive
where the soil is the poorest, even the prep
aration of the inferior earth has its advan-
tages. Garden beds are rarely dug over deep
enough, and the manure used is oftentimes
so fresh from the barn that it burns the seed
Seeds which are planted in such soil might as
well be thrown into the fire. The manure
Which has either rotted in the heap or been
used as q protection on beds during the win
ter, and then dug, makes a rich and accepta-
nle soil for most descriptions of flowers. If
You have n heavy bit of grouud, it can be ea-
silly made friable by the use of coal ashes
mot clinkers.) Coal ashes, so often used to
fill up a hole or given away to whoever will
pay for the carting are so useful as IA fertil-
izer that once tested no one would again look
upon them ms refuse to be rejected as worth
less. There is no better covering for the
ground around fruit trees in winter than coal
ashes while for currants raspberries and
hlackberries there is n charm in the quality
which they impart. Ground, where coal
ashes are used, becomes wonderfully suscep-
tible to other fertilizers, absorbing their vi
tally and showing AT once the richness which
they have impaired. There are many who
make a mistake by digging their garden one
day and planting the next The soil is cold
in this climate till very late in May, and there
is nothing gained by sowing seed before the
ground is warmed up to the proper tempera-
ture. Prepare the ground properly in April
by turning it over and over, and the harvest
whether of flowers or vegetables, will be far
more satisfactory than can be secured by
forcing the season. \ few warm days in

which sometimes start into activity only to be

TREE PLANTNG.-Mr. Thomas Meehan, in
his "Seasonable Hints" for April in the Gar
dener's Monthly, gives the following hints
upon tree planting:
''Soil loosened two feet deep dries out less
in summer than soil one foot deep. Rich soil
grows tree larger in one year than a poor
soil will in three Under-drained soil is cool
er in summer than soil not under-drained.
The feeding roots of trees come near the sur
face therefore plant no deeper than neces-
sary to keep the tree in the soil, If there be
danger of its blowing over, stake it, but don't
plant deep. One stake, set at an angle, is rs
good as two set perpendicular. Straw or mat
set round the tree keeps the bark from rub
bling. Large stones placed around a trans
planted tree are often better than stake
They keep the soil moist, admit the air and
encourage surface roots. Shorten the shoots
at transplanting, This induces growth, and
growth produces roots and with new roots
your tree is safe for another season. I'm
pruned trees produce leaves, but little growth
and less new roots. Place broad-leaved ev-
ergreens where they will get no sun in win
ter. yet away from where the roots of trees
will make the ground dry in summer, Deep
soil, but shallow planting, is all important for
them. In transplanting take care of the roots
Good roots are of more importance than good
balls Balls of earth are useful in keeping
ibres moist but don't sacrifice the best IL
bres five or six feet from the tree, for the few
fbres in the ball at the base When roots
are rather dry after filling portion of soil,
pour in water freely. After all has settled
| away, fill in lightly the balance OF the soil,
and let it rest for a few days, This is rs
remedy, not as n rule for watering this way
coos the soil ultimately hardens it, and in
other respects works to the injury of the
transplanted tree

IMPORTANCE OF Cons. New York Ship
ping List says; The importance of the
rountry's corn crop is hardly understood by
the general run of readers, since they do not
know what wide basis of prosperity it con-
stitutes. 1t is the basis of an annual pork
crop comprising at least ten million head OF
hogs its consumption as human food is very
large and increasing in both hemispheres it
is more universally fed to stock of all kinds
than any other cereal, and is, in word, one
of the most valuable of our agricultural prod
ucts. The acreage of this year in corn reach
es 80, 3G9 600 and the yield probably not less
than 800, 600, 900 bushels. The eXporta-
ton of corn has increased from a little over
10000 bushels per annum ten years ago to
nearly aO,OO0,O0O at the present time Az
this rate of increase corn promises to become
the king Of commerce. In this connection
il is interesting to know that the production
of grain of all kinds in the United States is
forty bushels per capita, against only sixteen
bushels for all Europe"
