Some years ago, says the Hartford
Post, one of our citizens bought and set
out some thrifty young apple trees On
one of them he neglected to remove the
wooden label which was attached to one
of the limbs by copper wire. Two years
later he found that the copper wire was
entirely embedded and out of sight In the
bark Of the tree, and that year the limb
was SO heavily loaded with apples that he
was obliged to prop it up. while there was
limb. Last year one of our neighbors,
when his young apple trees were in full
blossom, carefully girdled some limbs
on several trees, and the blossoms pro-
duced no fruit on the limbs thus treated,
but this year those limb have blossomed
full and no blossoms on the limbs that
bore last year. Pomologists may profit
by further experiments in that direction.

ANOTHER ANTI.CRuNEsG BILL.

Senator Slater of Oregon has pre-
pared bill, for the purpose OF intro
ducing it in Congress, to suppress
Chinese immigration. 1t is claimed
that it does not conflict with the Bur-
Hngame treaty, and that, therefore,
r Hayes can have no reasonable objec-
tions to signing it, The bill provides
that after July LIST, 1880, it shall not
be lawful for any subject OF the Chinese
Empire, then or thereafter, becoming a
resident in the United States to en-
gage in or carry on work at any manu-
featuring or mechanical business, or to
own or lease any real estate for any
purposes other than that of lawful COM
merce and for places Of residence, or to
conduct any farm, garden, vineyard or
orchard, or to own, have or keep any
herd of cattle, product or use thereof,
or to keep any hotel or restaurant ex-
cepting for the use and.accommodation
of Chinese, or to work or to engage to
work as mechanics, artisans, laborers,
walters, servants, cooks, clerks, or in
any. other capacity, or at any other
kind of labor, skilled or unskilled, ex-
cept for and with the employ of subjects
of China lawfully engaged. in COM
merce in the United States or travel
ing therein, or except as Interpreters or
teachers of the Chinese language.
Every violation of the provisions of the
bill by a Chinamsn is to be punishable
by fine or Imprisonment, or both, and
also by forfeiture of all property used
or invested in the prohibited business.
The author of the bill contends that it
is drawn within the strict letter of the
Burlingame treaty, as the guaran-
tees of that instrument. relate solely to
tile right Of travel and residence, and
the right of residence does not neces-
sarily include unrestricted rights, and
he is, therefore, confident. that the
passage Of the bill will effectually stop
Chinese immigration to this country
without abrogating any treaty.

The Enterprise says "The amount
of gold and silver taken out of the Con-
solidated Virginia mine during the
month of April would load qaite long
train of mules, were We obliged to ship
our bullion bars to the sea coast after
the fashion prevailing in the majority
of the mines of Mexico The coin
value of the April yield of the mine
was 1910, 1879 90. The weight of this
bullion was LIT pounds. Allowing
300 pounds to the animal, which is a
good solid load, to transport the bullion
would require train of thirty-nine
pack mules. In their best DAYS the
California and Consolidated Virginia
mines took out enough bullion in one
month to have loaded train of mules
that would have reached half way down
to Frisco.

ployed nnder ground at the Sutro Tun
mel. According to. the regulations of
the Miners Union, no persons, except.
members of the Union, are permitted to
work under ground on the Cornstock
mines. AS the negroes were good men
and worked as faithfully as the whites,
and were willing to become members of
she Union, the members of that organi-
zation, had to decide, whether they
should be admitted to membership Or
compelled to quit work in the tunnel.
This vexed question was decided by the

You've ladies who correspond with
rejected lovers would do well to take
hint from the following curious case:
Mile Felicie Maxy, who lives on the
farm of Pentecote, ON the Belgian from
tier, was on the point of being mar
ried, when she received letter
from an old suitor asking her to. recon
slider the matter, and send him an i'm
mediate reply. A postage stamp was
'gallantly enclosed to defray the cost OF
transmission. The answer duly writ
ten, Mile. Maxy applied the stamp to
her fair lips but hardly had she done
so when she felt sharp pain IN her
tongue, and in less than no time that
interesting member became horribly
elongated and infiamed and covered
with noiome sores. The disconsolate
one. Alfred Camin by name, farmer
at Pichon, in the Nord, has been ar
rested; but he declares that he used no
noxious drug, but simply moistened a
corner of the stamp with his own. lips.
Such is the state of the case as it stands;
but the tale carries its own moral.
