tory seemed certain if the frost, then of
unprecedented severity, continued.
The Dutch envoy had failed to negoti-
ate a peace, and Holland was despa,ring,
when the frost suddenly broke The
Dutch were now exulting; and the French
generals prepared to retreat; but the
spider warned Disjonval that the thaw
would be Of short duration, and he knew
that his weather monitor never deceived.
He contrived to communicate with the
army of his countrvmen and its generals,
who duly estimated his character, and re-
lied upon his assurance that within few
days the water would again be passablc
by troops. They delayed their retreat.
Within twelve days the frost had returned
the French army triumphed. Disjon-
val was liberated; and spider had
brought down ruin on the Dutch nation.

The Fall Of Vicksburg.

Finally came the month of July, and
still Vicksburg had not given up. 1t
was arranged for a general assault on
the Fourth of July, but on the 3D. the
| white flag appeared on the Confederate
works. Pemberton asked for terms,
and Grant replied: "The unconditional
surrender OF the city and garrison"
That day Gen. Pemberton rode for
ward from the lines accompanied by
two officers. Grant went forward from
his trenches with six leading officers.
He bad known Pemberton in Mexico.
Pemberton, who came of q Quaker
family, first settled in Maryland, under
took to bluff Grant, who Immediately
said: "Very well, my army was never in
better condition"
They sat down on the grass, Grant
smoking, and Pemberton pulling up
the grass by the roots; and Porter's
gun-boats, not knowing what was going
on, again opened a commandment.
Grant finally returned to his lines and
took his leading officers into his conf
dence. They concluded that it would
be economy of time to parole the garri-
son.
The moment this was the understand
ing Grant turned to Sherman and told
him to get ready to march on Johnston.
And at 10 o'clock on the 4th Of July,
the regiments filed out of Vicksburg
and piled their arms, and took off their
accoutrements and laid their battle flags
upon them. The Union troops said
nothing bitter or taunting; the American
flag went on the Court House of the
city, and the Union regiments marched
in.
Pemberton behaved indecently to
Grant and made him go to the well and
get cup Of water, but with plain
philosophy which always attended him,
Grant merely said to his staff: eff
Pemberton can stand it under the cir
cumstances, I can"
Thus Gen. Grant received $1,000
soldiers, fifteen Generals and IT'S can
mons, which is said to have been the
largest number of men and guns sur
rendered at one time since the inven-
ton of powder.
He had taken in the Vicksburg cam
paign altogether more than $4,000 men.

OTAIO OULIURE.-A WTlGoI Ill Gu0
English Agricultural Gazette says:
"The crown-eyes of the potato are the
only ones which yield vigorous plants;
the produce of the other eyes is feeble
and unremunerative. If, therefore, po-
tatoes are cut for seed, they should not
Gas is usuaD be cut in their length, by
which the crown is divided and eyes
of all kinds introduced into the seed,
but they should be cut across, the half
containing the crown-eyes planted and
the other half consumed as food. The
very best results are obtained when
large potatoes ere taken, all eyes ex-
cepting those of the crown cut out. and
the whole remaining potato planted.
Stebler points out that the potato is an
underground stem, and the crown
eyes the buds at the end of the branch.
But the terminal buds of branch are
always far more vigorous than the lat
eral buds, as any one may ascertain for
himself by watching the growth of
trees and shrubs. The degeneration
of varieties of potatoes is believed by
some of the German writer's to be

from small potatoes and feeble buds.
The two laws of propagation noticed
are strikingly illustrated by the expert
ments of Franz. His experiments were
carried out in garden soil; the crop
obtained is given below in tons per acre:
Tubers divided in their length, per acre........
Whole tubers.. .-...................... ~

Whole tubers, eyes other than crown re

Stebler, Rimpau, Janovsky and
DerschlSr and Fesca have experimental
on the same subject; all of them con-
clude that whole tubers yield much
higher produce than tubers divided in
their length; also, that the crown half
of the potato yields decidedly larger
crop than the half obtained by division
through the length; but they do not,
like Franz, find that the crown half is
generally superios to the whole tubers.
Derschler, from the results, concludes
that the crown half is superior to q
whole potato when it is cut from 8
larger tuber than that with which it is
compared.

kFTERGLOW.

Grandmother PAGES, with stately tread,
Forward and back through the quaint oil
room,
Out of the freight, dancing and red.
INTO the gathering dusk and gloom,
Forward and back, in her silken dress
With its falling rutfles of frOstlike lace;
look of the deepest tenderness
In the faded lines OF her fine old face.
Warm on her breast, in his red night-gown,
Like scarlet lily, the baby lies.
While softly the tired lids droop down
Over the little sleepy eyes.
Grandmother sings 10 him sweet and low,
And memories come with the cradle-song
OF the days when she sang it long ago,
When her life was young and her heart was
strong
Grandmother's children have left her now;
The large old house is shattered place;
But shinining out in the sunset glow
OF her life, like star, comes the baby's
face.
He lies where of old his father lay;
Softly she sings him the same sweet strain
Till the years intervening are swept away,
And the joy of life's morning are hers again.
Grandmother's gray head is bending low
Over the dear little downY one;
The steps of her pathway are few to go;
B The baby's journey is just begun.
Yet the rosy dawn of his childish love
Brightens the evening that else were dina /;
And in after years from the home above,
The light of her blessing will rest on him.

You believed me to be a gentleman, and

hearty laugh followed, and each promised
to keep the joke secret, and up to this
writing each has faithfully kept the
promise.

An Editors Dream.

The editor of the Stamford ADVOCATE
dreamed that he was dead and in anoth-
er world. He approached city before
him and knocked for admittance, but NO
one answered the summons. The gate
remained closed against him. Then he
cried aloud for an entrance, but the only
response was scores of heads appearing
above the wall on the other side Of the
gate. at sight of him the owners of the
heads set up dismal howl, and one of
them cried: why didn't you notice that
big egg that gave you?" At this hor-
rid and most unexpected interrogation,
the poor local turned in the direction of
the voice to learn the owner, when an
other voice shrieked:: where's that
piece you were going to write about that
soda fountain of mine?' and close upon
this was the awful demand: why did
you wife about old Tomlinson's hens,
and never speak of my new gate9' What
answer he was going to frame to this ap-
peal was cut short by the astonishing
query: why did you spell my name
wrong in the programmed The m1ser-
able man turned to flee, when he was
rooted to the ground by this terrible de-
mand: why did you put my marriage
among the deaths?' Hewas on the point
of saying the foreman did it, when a
shrill voice madly cried: You spoiled
the sale of my horse by publishing that
runaway And another: IF l catch
you alone I will lick you for what you
said about me when 1 was before the po-
lice court Another: why didn't you
show up the school question when I told
you to?' And this was followed by the
voice of female Historically exclaiming
This is the brute that botched my poet
~ and made me ridiculousr Whereup-
on hundreths Of voices screamed: Where
is my article? Give me back nay article y
And in the midst of the hOrrid din the
poor wretch awoke, perspiring, at every
pore and screaming for help.
