soil is dry. Keep the ground worked as
deep as may be with the hoe. 1t will
then remain cool, the vines will thrive
and the quality of the fruit or wine be
improved thereby.
In garden culture, for a single row,
the border should be eight to ten feet
long and about four feet wide. An ap-
proved mode Of preparation is to dig out
the natural soil to the required depth
and the length and width necessary. If
the soil be stiff or damp, small stones,
brush and rubbish may be laid at the
bottom as a sort of drainage; on top of
this deposit, the compost for the border
This may consist of two parts of good,
fresh friable loan, one of old, well-rot-
ted manure, and one of ashes, shells and
broken bones, all mixed together. The
top Of the border, when finished, ought
to be at least a foot higher than the sur
face of the ground, SO that it may still
remain higher after settling. When a
southern exposure which gives the vines
the benefit of the suns rays all day can
not be gained, an eastern exposure will
often be found successful, especially with
the early-ripening varieties "A northern
exposure ought to be avoided if possible,
and, if. used, the hardy, early-ripening
varieties only should be planted.

Carving Meat.

An exchange gives this hint: We
have often been annoyed, in cutting up a
roast of beef on the dinner table, by the
difficulty ofholding it in fixed position
on the smooth, oval plate, while attempt
ing to slice the meat down in a hand
some manner. Sometimes we have
thought that corrugated dishes would
hold the meat better and prevent its
sliding about. But more recently we
have found a much better remedy, by
the use of two carving forks set some dis
tance apart in the roast, but with the
handles brought together and held in one
hand. The ease with which the carving
is now effected is really surprising.
Freshly cooked and flexible beef IS sliced
down with entire control and accuracy,
and as thin as pasteboard if he desire it.
Nothing is easier than'to try this method,
and one trial will satisfy any one. 1t is
not patented.

day last. to the efJect that Congressman Daniel
OReiily was dessrter from the United States Army.
and that his seat representative from the Second

ground. led TO considerable discussion yesterday.
His friends and constituents claimed that his ex-
planaton of his ton with the army in 1862 as
published in tho HERALD yesterday fully vindicAtsd
him from the charge
At tho meeting OF tho Board Of Aldermen the Alder

several minutes In his defence and In tenuncia-
ton of those who he sad used evcry possible means
to degrade him. He frequently applauded by
the lobby during hts speech.
When questioned By HERALD reporter concerning
the aifiiavits made against him Mr.. O'Eeiily SAID
that those who made them are all his political enc
mics. lie admitted that ho got &3S OF the Kings

more than sufice to pay his expenses backward and
forward to the camp. Ho was never mustered into
