 there was any such meeting. In this connet
 ton recent utterance of the Hartford Time is significant. The Times says Samuel J
 Tilden is statesman. He was chosen Presi
 dent of the United States in 1876 by popula
 majority of 300, 900. The people love justice Seven-eighths of the Democrats of this Uniol
 would rejoice to see Samuel J. Tilden inau gurated President on the 4th of March, 1881 l It will be Tilden convention at Cincinnati
 'sThe nomination will, we believe, go to Til den, if he will take it. Will he accept? We l presume not. He is sixty-six years of age l and his health is by no means of the robus 1 order. He has means to live in luxury and
 ease. The Presidency of this great country l would bring cares and burdens that would ad
 init of no rest and few days of comfort fol 1 four years. MT. Tilden has been for many years in the turmoil of political strife. He has done much for his party-his work has been close and persevering and long contin-
 ued. It would not be surprising if he should l now demand and take rest, and accept the quiet and peace and comfort of 8 luxurious home, in his declining years. Should he
 conclude to do so, the country may expect
 from his pen next June paper worthy of a
 statesman, the principles and admonitions of

 At the instance of George Jacob Holyoake,
 the London Guild of Co-operators has taken
 steps to form an organization to encourage
 co operative emigration to the United States,
 furnish information regarding locations for
 settlement, and advance capital under proper
 guarantees. The organization will act in cor respondence with the Go operative Colony
 Aid Association of New York. In 8 recent address before the Guild, MT. Holyoake gave an account of his travels in the United States, and of the interest he found manifested in the subject of cooperation. The special purpose of the address was to show how the principle of cooperative effort could be advantageous ly applied to immigration and settlement upon the new lands of the United States and Cana da. ''The ordinary emigrant from England" he said. "passes from the brightness, conven- fence and abounding society of cities to the silence of the forest and the companionship of unknown crea- lures who beset or crawl in his path His new destiny is to fight tine sullen and fruitful wilderness, which accords him plenty if he conquers it or gives him but grave if he fails. It is of the nature of merciful thing to mitigate the bitterness of this experi- ence. Cooperation can smooth the path of this form of enterprise. It can collect fam flies to go out together. It can procure them right information. It can provide a conduct or on their passage out, and convey them to colony land, where houses are erected and provisions provided until crops can be raised and it can supply practical director until the settlers learn to take care of themselves l Cooperation can take the peril and uncer- tainty out of friendless adventure, and lend the charm of comfort and security to many an. industrial enterprise"
 Nerve-soothing celery has been sold in New | York city this spring at higher prices than ever before. From thirty-eight cents dozen punches in November last the price has ad- | yanced until last week, when $4. 50 was ob | tainsd for dozen punches It was said that the celery growers had combined to keep their stock in the trenches until late in the winter, in order to advance the price. A New Jersey | market gardener who has been interviewed says that is an absurd theory and gives some information about the celery sup ply of New York. 'fThere are fewer celery | growers near New York;" says he, 'sthan is generally supposed. The mass of celery sold in Washington Market is grown on the neck of land between the Morris Canal and Con- and around the city of Newark. Farmers in eastern Long Island, however, have gone into celery growing of late years From the nature of the plant no corner could be arranged among celery producers. If the growers hold their produce too long it decays in the ground. The plants are har vested as late as possible in order that they may be kept as late as possible in the spring Sometimes the gardeners who gre little late get caught, and the tender stalks are mown down by frost. Last fail an early frost came. It strangely neglected the Neck, while it cut he celery of the Newark growers close to the ground. There are nearly 200 acres of land on the Neck, solely used for growing celery. The Newark gardeners have fully as much' snd, together with the celery land on Lorg Island, there is well on toward 800 acres of celery land around New York city. It was because the Newark plants were wiIted by rost that our celery became so. valuable. Some of our gardeners have taken in from s7, ,Oo0 to $8, ,O0O.
