Gold and silver in Circulation.

The total amount of gold coin in
circulation in this country is estimated
at $3.50, 000, 900; of silver coin, $3.50, 000,-
900; making total of $500 100000 in
gold and silver coin. The amount
of gold bullion in the Treasury is $685.
$50, $40, and of silver bullion, SIS, 557,-
759 total of gold and silver bullion
of $73, sos, 800, making a grand total of
coin and bullion of 1898, sos, 800 in the
country! A steamer is on the way
from Europe with $3,0O0,000 more of
gold. In a short time we shall have
grand total of 5000 600 in the country,
all owing to resumption of specie pay
ments and protective tariff, both
Republican measures. In less than
two years the total amount of gold
and silver will exceed the amount
of our paper currency-in other words,
for every dollar of paper we shall
have dollar in coin. Before resump-
ton gold was dormant rs far as circu-
latiOn was concerned. Now added to
the $3.50, 900, 900 Of paper we have and
our total resources amount to about
81 1850, $1,000! Certainly most re-
initiation. The accumulation
of our gold was made up of about $780,
600, 600 imported, and about 0,0O0,0 900
brought by the three-fourth of mil
lion of emigrants the last three years,
and the $500, 900, 600 we have dug out
of the ground since the balance of

How to Winter Trees Procured in
the Fail.

The practice Of procuring supplies
of trees in the fall Is becoming more
and more general as each season de-
monstrates its wisdom. 1t is a more
favorable time than spring, because of
better weather, better roads, Il lighter
| pressure of business with nurserymen
and farmers, and longer time in
which to handle trees. TO insure sue
cess the following directions should
| be observed:
Choose the dryest and cleanest spot
in the garden, clear away all rubbish
mice dig trench long enough to adj
NIT layer of ten or twelve trees side
by side, and wide and deep enough to
let the roots below the surface; throw
the soil forward at right angle from
the trench, so the tops can rest upon
it. This will raise the tops just Il lit
tie above the level of the ground.
When the first layer is properly plac-
ed, proceed by shoveling fire earth
among the roots, extending the trench
for another layer at the same time
fill carefully all spaces and pack the
ground moderately firm, by gentle
pressure with the foot. Now place an
other layer in the same position, with
the roots projecting little forward of
those of the first, but no deeper in the
ground.
When the trees are all on, in these
successive layers, the soil for working
among the roots having been taken
from before each parcel of roots, the
pile as 'heeled in presents the appear
ance of window, showing only the
tops standing up at slight angle,
then with the earth from the adjacent
sides, cover all over smoothly, COM
mencing at the last layer of trees,
gently pressing them down as the
covering proceeds. When complete,
the pile presents the appearance of a
newly made grave, well ridged in the
center; narrow top shedding water
best, is freed from frost earlier in the
spring The mound should run north
and south.
When crust Of frozen ground two
or three inches deep will keep out
mice, put on Il litter of straw, to pre-
vent freezing or any thawing until
spring. Varieties may be separated
by placing small willows across and
between, as put in, and register
should be kept of the whole. To pre-
serve labels distinct, wind them with
paper, which should be tied on. In |
the spring the roots will be found to
have formed the granulations neces-
sary to the production of new rootlets,
and being on hand for early planting, |
the trees will make double the growth |
the first season that trees taken from
the nursery in spring can make.

a Crusade Against the Bees.
The London Daily News has pub

The London Daily News has pub
lished the following ITEM
1t is disadvantage of civilization
that it shows us the dangers to which
life is exposed. Every year presents
us with a new peril, and the latest is
always the least expected. French
men of science are now preaching
crusade against the industrious race of
bees. Not only are they destructive
to property, but they are actually dan
gerOus to human life. The project of
the Paris police has been appealed to.
NJ. Delpech has drawn up formidable
brief, ahd is precise in his statements
and clamOrOus in his demands. 1t
seems that Bookkeeping is lucrative in
the neighbOrhOod Of Paris, and that so
also is the distillation of spirits and
refining of sugar. Moreover, wherever
there are sugar works, the bees are ac-
tive and abundant. At Say, for in
stance, the loss attributable to them is
estimated al El 900 a year. NJ. Del
pech gives facts and figures. At an
other refinery the number of bees kill
ed daily amounted to fully % gal
Ions. He himself saw Il large glass of
syrup drunk up in two hours. AS to
loss Oflife he is equally circumstantial.
He gives IA full list of people who died
of bee stings in the course of the
year. Most of the cases occurred in
America, but many are furnished by
France, and some by Germany. |
The death is very painful, and in some
cases extremely sudden. At Chem
nitz, in Hungary, Il peasant stung |
while cutting branch of tree, died |
OH the spot. At Chester, Penn, a |
farmer, examining some hives, was |
stung, fell at once into state of syn
cope, and died within quarter OF an
hour. In another case, % minutes
elapsed between the wound and its
fatal consequence. VI. Delpech ac-
oordingly appeals to the project for
the assistance of the police, and what
he asks is that the keeping of bees
may he placed in the category of dam
gerOus and unhealthy occupations.

That Derby Hat.
n. Y. Tribune.


The misfortunes of Forest Hills
lady are humorously told by the
Boston Courier. She went to the
city to do some shopping, and among
other things bought new hat-a
Derby, the first of the kind she had
ever worn. She stood at the counter
with the hat on, when her sister,
who lives in the city, came in, looked
at her very hard, and said to friend:
Chow much that lady looks like my
sister ~ 1t required a personal expla-
nation to to convince her that she was
her sister. On the train she spied her
husband, who vas buried in an even
ing paper. He glanced at her and re-
turned to his news.
She sat near him, and after awhile
said, "Charley." He looked up,
grinned, and again returned to his
paper. When the train stopped, she
went up behind him and said: "Char-
ley" But he, the good boy, didn't even
look around. Then she touched his
arm, and said in despair, "Charley,
don't you know me? What is the
natter" At this he stopped, gazed
at her steadily, and said, 81 beg your

The Export Cattle Trade.

Complaints are being received daily
by Assistant Secretary French, of the
Treasury Department, against the
enforcement of the law requiring the
quarantining of cattle for certain
period previous to exporting them.
Judge French has decided on several
occasions recently that he has no
power in the matter except to carry
out the requirements of the act. With
out Congressional action the law can
only be modified by the issuance of a
proclamation by the President. In
consequence of the enforced delay at
United states ports, western shippers
are sending their beef cattle to Europe
by way Of Canadian ports, as much as
possible. A Toronto despatch of Oct.
Is, says that a syndicate of cattle deal
ers of that city has contracted with
the Allan and Dominion lines of
steamships for the conveyance of 2O,-
900 head of cattle for the ports of
Liverpool, London, Bristol and Glas-
gov.

Cotton Seed

Owing to the large amount of wet
and damp weather, cotton seed have
been largely damaged and heated this
season They may answer for manure
and stock, but such seed will not do
for planting purposes. Most farmers
are, no doubt aware of this fact, if not,
there will be great scarcity Of seed
next spring. When tested, very few
such seed will be found to germinate
The majority Of planters are not
particular enough in the preservation
and saving of seed for planting pur-
poses If more care was taken, there
would be great improvement in both
the quality and yield of cotton.

The North Pole.

| Some people have asked, "What
| good can result from finding the pOle?"
| The late Prof Henry is on record as
saying the magnetism Of the earth re-
quires more observations in this direc-
ton than have been made; that we
cannot complete our knowledge of the
tides, of the ocean, of the winds, of
the globe, without finding the pole :;
besides that, the whole field of natural
history will be enriched by it, espe-
cially botany, geology and mineral
ogy. The facts about the effect of eX-
tremc cold on animal and vegetable
life cannot but be interesting. AS
Prof. Henry said, it will lead not only
to enlarge the sphere of pleasure of
man, but will promote the application
of science to the arts of life. Prof. NJ.
F. Maury puts ii in this way:
"Within this polar area the tides have
their cradle and the whales their nursery.
There the winds complete circuit, and the
currents of the sea their sound, in the
wonderful system of oceanic circulation;
there the aurora is lighted up, and. the
trembling needle brought to rest: and

a correspondent OF the Boston Her
aid gives the following account of n
noted flower farm in England;
" In Il corner of the county of Essex,
Eng, Messrs. Carter. tiorlculturists,
have established II farm devoted To the
growth of flowers. These plants are
not destined to ad0rn the gardens of
the Weather classes, but to furnish
seed from which flowers may be ulti-
mately obtained. A recent visit to
the village of St. Osyth, dlscloses n
tract of well-sheltered country, which,
in its variety of colors, reminded one
of stained glass window gone mad.
In one place an eXpanse of the deepest
blue is formed by few acres of Ne
mophilia insignis. Next to 1t appears
a perfect sea of purple Saponaria.
Then comes dash of the deep blue
Lobelia, and farther on, one enters Il
space covered with the Venitian red of
the PhloX drummondi. These are fol-
lowed by smaller beds of sweet Will
liams, the yellow OXalis, the pink
Euchardium, the purple Leptosper-
mum, and these masses of color are
relieved by the white Nemophila.
Another portion Of the farm is de-
devoted to Petunias, with purple and
white leaves edged with green these
are followed by Il yellow sea Of Esch-
scholtzia crocea, and then comes Il
of the oderiferous sweet
white, lilac and yellow. At

Ell PAso, Texas, Oct, 20, 1850,
The pleasing inlcllige ce reached
here to-day that the famous Indian
Chief, Victoria, who has been such u
terror to the peOple of Northwestern
Texas and Old Mexico, for the past
fifteen months, has at last been killed,
and the most of his band either killed
or captured.
Victoro, after his escape across the
Rio Grande from Gen. Grierson, about
two months ago, has been prevented
rc-crossing to the United States by the
wutchlulness of the troops under
Generals Buell. and Grierson, stationed
at intervals along the frontier so close
together. as to virtually patrol the
whole line, and the troops under Gen.
Buell. in pursuit, who crossed the river
into Mexico, acting in conjunction
with the Mexican Military, have kept
the Indians constantly on the jump
until about ten days ago.
Gen. Buell. was advised by the Gen.
TeraSas that his further advance
into the interior of Mexico would be
objected to on the part of the Mexican
Government, and Gen, Buell. crossed
Immediately to the American side
leaving Victories hot trail showing

Cotton Seed Meal.

This ought all to be consumed in our
own country, instead of exporting so
great proportion of it, as it is not
only a highly nourishing food, but a
health keeping food. The oil in it
lubricates the bowels of animals, and
keeps them in good condition, while
the other elements of which it is COM
posed assist in building up the mus
cles rapidly. But it should be fed
sparingly, and mixed with either
bran, middlings, oats, or other meal.
From Il pint to two quarts per day is a
fair ration with other food, according
to the size of the animal; although at
the South, we are informed that they
feed it still more abundantly. There
they usually feed the seed whole as
ginned from the cotton, and after
boiling they let their animals eat as
much as they please with impunity,
entirely fattening their swine
with it, finishing off with corn two
weeks or so before Strengthening.
