A NEW YORK VIEW OF THE CALIFoR-
MIA SITUATION,

Such practical results of the new Consti-
tuition as have come under the notice OF
people outside of the State have not thus
far led them to take high view OF the
merits of the instrument, and it may be
worth while for the Legislature which has
just assembled to know what is thought at
the East of the organic law which is about
to be enforced. In an article entitled
California Capital on the Wing, the
New York Commercial Bulletin handles the
California situation in the following way :
"The merchants, bankers and business
"men OF California, and for that matter,
''of the whole Pacific coast, are just now
Gin anything but an amiable mood.
"Things are not going well with them.
g Capital and capitalists, who have for
"years past been identified with the

OF the Limckiln Club.

"Will Whalebone Howker please step

his blandest voice as the meeting was
declared opened.
Mr. Howker had taken q seat on one
of the back benches as if to escape OBJ
servation. He moved forward at slow
pace, and finally halted in front of the
Presidents desk.
"Brudder Howker," continued the
President, "you am past de MONDAY of

THE natural color of cheese is yell
lowish white. English Stilton repre-
SCENTS it. If the cream is allowed to
reach too high n temperature in the
churn, even with June milk, the butter
will be white. The same effect is
reached by heating the curds. Thus it
will be seen that all yellow cheeses are
colored artificially.
To bring young fruit trees forward
rapidly they should be transplanted ut
least three times, with careful and judi
cious t-prunning. Grapevines, and
especially strawberry plants, are great
ly improved by this means. The roots
love the fresh soil of the new home,
while cutting their roots causes them to
send out lateral branches and thicken
up.
THE finest manure is made by turning
the heap over twice. Begin at each
end of the pile, and throw off the ma
nure to- n distance of three feet, build
ing up the new heaps, and placing the
coarsest manure in the center. Then
proceed until two heaps are made.
These will soon heat, and q month or so
afterward the process may be reversed
and the two heaps made into one again.
In selecting towering plants, and es-
pecially shrubs, to ornament grounds
with, it should he borne in mind that
ANIMALS which bloom but once n year,
make all their show in the spring when
most other plants are in bloom, and are
lost in the multitude of beauty. Monthly
boomers give many times the pleasure,
and do not look like worthless and
scrawny bushes the rest of the season.
THE Connecticut experiment station
is about commencing series of expert
ments for testing thoroughly the differ
ent methods of setting milk to obtain
the best results as to cream, and, if pos
sible, to arrive at a definite conclusion,
SO that the butter-makers may have
sufficient data to enable them to work
with some degree of certainty in the
production of butter.
SPEAKING of pruning, an exchange
saws: Trim moderately every year, but
not heavily oftener than once in three
years. Pruning may now be done at
any time when the days are warm; cut
off no limbs that are over an inch in di-
ameter. If you do not understand prun-
ing yourself, have it done by a compe-
tent person, but do not send an ignorant
hired man into your orchard to cut and
hew at will.
THE american Culticator says it may
be comparatively slow operation to
milk one COW in five minutes, while, on
the other hand, ten minutes time might
be called quick operation in milking
another. Any person, whose hand is at
ali sensitive to the touch, will, if he
forces the milk down to the end of the
teat faster than it can escape, find the
milk rushing back, meantime the cow
showing the movement to be one of pain.
Always milk so that the operation shall
be pleasant one to the docile animal,
affording her relief in the careful empty
ing full bag of its contents.

To the Senate: I transmit herewith the re-

ed by the Senate the 18th of February Inst, re-

tween this Government and any foreign Gov

America and South America, together S1th
copies of any projected treaties respecting the
same which the Department of state may
have proposed or submitted since that date to
any foreign power or its diplomatic repro
sentative.
the Senate, deem it proper to state briefly my
opinion as to the policy of the United States
with respect to the construction OF an inter-
oceanic canal by any route across the Amer1-
can Isthmus. The policy of this country is
canal under American control. The United
states can not consent to surrender TINS con-
troll to any European power or to any COM
bination of European powers, in view of cx.
listing treaties between the United States and
other nations, for If the rights of sovereignty
or property of other nations stand in

should be taken by just and liberal
American policy on this subject h Consistently
with the rights of nations to be affected by It.

the United States Is relied upon, the United

interests and maintain the rights of
those whose private capital Is embarked
in the work. An fnter-oceanic canal
across the American Isthmus will essentially
change the geographical relations between
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United
States, and between the United States and the
rest of the world. 1t will be the great ocean
thoroughfare between our Atlantic and Pacific
shores, and virtually part of the coast line
of the United States. Our merely commercial
interest in it is greater than that of oil other
countries, while its relations to our power
and prosperity as a nation, to our means of
defense, our unity, peace and safety,
are matters OF paramount consideration
to the people of the United States.
No other great power would, un-
der similar circumstances, fail to assert
rightful control over a work so closely and
vitality affecting its interests and welfare.
without urging further grounds of my .opin-
ion, repeat, in conclusion, that it Is the
right and duty of the United States to assert
and maintain s--. supervision and au-
thority over any inter oceanic canal across
the Isthmus that connects North aud South
America will protect our national fntep
ests. This 1 am quite sure will be found not
only compatible with, but promotive of, the
widest and most permanent advantage to
commerce and civilization.

In planting trees, the most profitable
are the very early and very late sorts.
This rule applies to all fruit-planting for

Two bushels of bluegrass seed to the
acre is the usual amount sOwn. If the
seed be good it will grow, if sown in a
dry time of the year, but the best time
is early in the spring.
In selecting buds for scions, it is gen.
orally thought best to take from the top
branches to get rapid growth, and from
the intermediate branches to get early
fruiting. This is by no means an infal-
lible rule, however.
PLOwING should be done only when the
soil will crumbls loosely; when the pillow
smears the upturned surface, the soil
will be injured. While earliness and
forehandedness are cOmmendable, one
should make haste with caution.
Few know how easy it is to propa-

A Wise Serpent.

Mr.. M. of our sister city, West Point,
was down on the river fishing last sum-
mcr, when he discovered n very wise
serpent. He was sitting near rock,
under which was snakes den. The
proprietor of the den came gliding up
from foraging expedition, and was
disappearing in a hole under the rock,
when, with dexterous movement,
Captain NJ. seized him by the tail and
threw him twenty feet away. The
snake hardly knew what had happened,
and again essayed to enter his domicil
in the same manner. Again he was
treated rs before. Never despairing,
for third time the willy serpent ap-
preaching the rock. This time he came
deliberately, as if carefully contemplat-
ing the situation. Arriving at the mouth
of the hole, this time he deliberately
coiled himself up and put out his long
tongue, as if to take in the full situa-
ton. For a while he maintained this
defensive position, when he carefully
began to uncoil, at the same time dis
appearing tail foremost into the den.
This story is fully warranted by Captain
NJ, who stands ready to testify to its
correctness.-Hnnailt (Ga.) Journal
