An Aur,ferous Newspaper.

A correspondent of the San Francisco

nuggets, but from the sixth OF that
month to the end it was rare to have a
number without its golden show. From
the paper of the sixth i took fiity-six
pieces OF gold, the thickness OF the CAT,

The Time for Planting Trees.

Germantown Telegraph.
We have two or three inquiries now
before us, as to whether Spring or Fall Is
the best time to set out trees. We can't
tell how often we have treated on this
subject, but it is natural that the ques-
ton should continue to be asked, as
Young men grow up, marry, and either
90 TO farming or in other ways possess
land and desire information as to what
fruit trees to plant and when to plant
them. In very few words we would
saw that there is not much choice In the
seasons. Ii the soil is naturally moist,
Spring is probably to be preferred Tor
setting out; il dry, Fall. lfthe trees are
large early Fall should be chosen. and
as soon as the tree is done growing and
the leaves begin to drop. In both cases
the trees should be taken out OF the
ground carefully and with as many OF
the small roots as possible, and be
planted as soon after rs possible, before
the roots become dry. To prevent this
becoming so, they should be well cover
ed, kept out of the sun in transporting,
and "heeled.in," or buried and Literally
watered as soon as they arrive, untll
ready for planting. The planting can
not be done too carefully. The hole
should be large enough to receive all the
roots carefully spread out, and the
ground put about them should be fine
and rich. Ii the roots are too big they
should be somewhat pruned, and the
branches of the tree also. Sometimes
the branches, where the roots are few
and have been injured in taking up,
should be severely shortened to save
the life OF the tree.

Famines in India.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The time is rapidly coming when the
home Government will have to try once
for all TO find some theory explaining
how il is that famines are becoming so
much more frequent and more fatal in
India. The statistics OF mortality from
famine fever last year in the Northern
Provinces, as published { ere and copied
into some of the London papers, must,
We should imagine, make even the most
saguine doubt whether we quite under
stand the great problems we have to
solve in the direct administration OF In
dia. Little was heard in England OF the
famine in the Northern Provinces dur
inc the wears 1878 and 1889. But it
was most serious, nevertheless, and the
figures now given represent merely the
later effects OF that period OF dire search
" and death. Those figures, however,
are by themselves enough. For the Of
fetal statistics record that the death rate
from fever was actually 81 per 1000
above the average throughout the
Northern Provinces. This represents
the decease OF no fewer than 70O,0OOper-
sons from this cause alone. In certain
districts one-tenth and in others one
twelfth of the whole population perish
ed from the epidemic. More frightful
still-and here the statistics seem scarce
ly credible-it is estimated that rs per
cent. OF the people, that is to say, a.
Coz, 900 persons, suffered Il nm the fever
in one form or another. The Sanitary
Commissioners, it may be observed,
ascribe the severity and great mortality
of the epidemic "to the vast number OF
persons who have been brought to low
state of health by the high prices and
distress Of the two previous years of fam
me-"

Polishing their Toe Nails.

The fashionable woman of New York,
whether in the city or at the seaside re.
sorts, is described by correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Enquirer as spending
much of her time polishing her nails.
Her tool" the writer says, us an ar
ticle somewhat like the wooden handles,
or holders, for blotting paper-a narrow
strip OF ebony, ivory, or india ruboer,
with knob on one side and surface
of channels skin on the other. Some OF
these polishers are fanciiully made, and
$40 is not an unusual price; but cheap
ones do the work as well. The essen
tials are polishing substance and
plenty ofindustry. A mixture Is soid
i'm the st res at pretty high price, ana
it has beautiful name and label; but II
is a simple composition OF rotten stone,
oil. and rouge" This stuff is daubed on
the rubber, and assiduous friction does
the rest. But the polishing is not all
done on finger nails. This is the sea-
son." saws the writer, "when most met
ropolitan women battle more or less at
the seashore, and show their feet in do
ing so. Time was when the female
bather hid the corns, bunions, and little
unshapelinesses OF her feet in slippers,
or stuck them out OF sight into the sand,
when not in the water; but 1t Is diner'
ent now. The attractiveness OF the bur-
nished nails is deemed by her to more
than compensate for any little biem'
ishes, and 80 she takes pains to show
her feet. The change is marked fea-
ture in the surf scenes at Coney Island,
where thousands OF women are in the
water every afternoon"

Buffalo courier.
The capering that goes on in the surf

One kind that | noticed looked very
much that way. A party OF six-three
men and three women, all young

sons-at home. The men wore tight
suits which made them look like mod
els. The women wore at least enough
clothing for Black Crook ballet, and
perhaps a little more. One OF these
Young women seemed rather afraid OF
the water. However, she allowed her
escort 10 lead her in where 1t was about
waist deep. He then playfully pushed
her back and put an arm behind to
catch her. As she fell the arm caught
her Just below the shoulders. Them f'

a remarkably free-and-easy way for sew

his companions was swimming ont be-
yond the breakers with another young
woman on his back, and one OF herarms
clasped around his neck. 1t may not
have been at all improper but the scanti-
ness of clothing on both made 1t look
rather queer. The third couple left the
water and Law down on the sand. The
woman stretched herself at full length,
and the man began putting sand on her

then got board that had been washed
up on the beach, and stuck it IN the
sand at her head. That done, he fell on

away and joined her acquaintance, and
took up q residence on Thirty-first

TO have led a Wild life. She was taken
sick, and was sent to hospital, where a
cousin found her and persuaded her to

Again she threw off all restraint, and,
abandoning her family, went TO 81.

A resident OF Alton, ILL.,, married man,

become strangely infatuated with him,
and when she heard that, to rid himself
of her, he had arranged to pay her pas

bauch; visited New Orleans, and then
attempted to take her life. The bullet
left upon her forehead the scar which

From New Orleans Ruby" came on to
New York, registered at the Grand Cen

drained her purse and threw her upon

several similar occasions before. On
the day that she went to Coney Island
she had, Mrs Bennett claims, her dia-
mond earrings and 500 in money.
Neither the money nor the yaluables
have been seen since. The girl talked
OF taking her life on the trip. The ring
found on her finger bearing the inscrip-

PENDLETON COUNTY.
The Fires OF Democracy have
been Kindled and are Burning
Brightly.
ndenCe Of the Register.

Correspondence of the Register
PENDLEToN Co., w. Va, August 8.
The popular enthusiasm which has
been sweeping the country from the
river to the seas has at length reached
the heart of the Pendleton Democracy,
and eliminated first in the erection OF a
Hancock and English banner, spanning
the street OF our county town nearly a
hundred feet from the pavement, and
bearing soul-stirring notices from the
great soldier statesman's Order No. 40,
and finally in one of the most colossal
mass meetings ever held in Franklin.
At IL o'clock this morning the Democ-
racy poured into the Court house until
every available spot was occupied, and
still they came. The meeting was or
ganized by calling the Hon. Geo. A.
Blakemore to the chair. Upon taking
the chair, he briefly stated the objects
OF the meeting, and pronounced ring
ing exhortation to the people to initiate
the sublime example OF Cincln-
natl, Martinsburg and Fairmont by sink
ing all personal preference, and giving
in a loyal adhesion to the party in its
perfect organization. Several persons
were placed before the meeting for each
of the offices on the county ticket, and
in no instance was a second ballot nee.
essary, except for the House Of Dele
gates, that place being filled upon the
second ballot. The ticket nominated is
as follows: For the House, James w.
Johnson; Sheriff, John T. Mcmillan; AS
SCISSOR, James II. Dougherty; PrOsecut-
ing Attorney, Tyree NJ. McClurg; Sur
veyor, Daniel A. Lands; County Com
missoners under the proposed Consti-
tutional Amendment, VIM. T.. Conger,
+. w. Boggs and J. w. Armentroat.
Upon motions, in almost every in
stance, by defeated candidates
the nominations were made unan-
imous with the widest enthu'
slasm. The convention took short
recess and reassembled at 3,o'clock to
hear a speech from Judge Hoge, their
standard-bearer for Congress. lie de-
livered himself as we well knew he
would, not in the silly tinsel OF bonn
bastic rhetoric, but like lawyer plead
