Magazine Notices.

The April number of Harper's Magazine is
rendered exceedingly attractive by its many
beautiful illustrations, and every article in its
table of contents is noteworthy. The number
opens with the first part of Mrs. John Lilies
paper, Music and Musicians in England-a
well-considered and exceedingly interesting
review of musical year in London, including
also the great annual and triennial festivals in
the provinces. The illustrations are mainly
portraits. Mr.. Abbey has added some charac-
teristic sketches This paper, which will be
concluded in the May number, is the first of a
series of contributions by Mr.. and Mrs. Lille
on English subjects of literary, historical and
picturesque interest, to be illustrated by Alb
bey. The rural charms of Chester Valley.
Pennsylvania, and the associations of Valley
Forge are the theme of an excellent paper by
Mrs. Ella Rodman Church, with fine illustra-
tions by Howard Pyle. Santa Fe, New Mexi-
CO, as described by Ernest Ingersoll, and il
lustrated by J. Harrison Mills, is subject of
intense interest. The Irish famine gives spec
ial interest to Miss Clouds illustrated article,
describing an Irish Fishing Village. The Up
per or Swiss Rhine-seldom visited by tourists
lis charmingly described by s. H. NJ. Byers and
accompanied by some picturesque illustrations.
E. d. r. Blanchard contributes an instructive
article on the works of Luca della Robbla and
his school, with four beautiful illustrations.
One of the most interesting articles in the Num-
ber is Mary Treats Home Studies in Nature,
with ten exquisite engravings from drawings
by j. G. Beard. Mr.. William G. Prime, in his
article on the Early History of Bible nlustra-
tions, not only gives an important chapter in
the history of wood-engraving, but also clearly
shows that designs attributed to Holbein were
copied by him from an earlier artist. OF late
much interest, in literary circles has attached
to the poems of Francois Coppee. One of the
most dramatic of these, Shipwrecked, trans
lated by E. w. Latimer, appears in this num-
ber, with two strong pictures by Reinhart In
fiction the number contains, besides the serial
novels White Wings and Mary Anerley. two
short stories: Mr.. Witherton's Romance, by
Phoebe Yates Pember, and an Easter Card, by
Virginia w. johnson. Mr. E. H. Derby con-
tributes very timely and important article on
our navy, exposing its present weakness, and
offering valuable suggestions for its rehabtiita-
ton. Readers who are interested in music will
read with pleasure Mrs. A. B. Blake's graceful
and instructive paper ON Madrigals. The Edi-
torial Departments furnish large amount of
delightful reading on current topics, recent
books, etc.

BosToN Transcript: Governor Garcelon,
according to his own testimony, taken by
the Investigating Committee of the Maine
Legislature, is pretty well aware, for an
amazingly simple man, of the convenience
and uses of wicked partners. He never knew
anything was wrong; he never reckoned up
how the reflections of Republicans-elect was
going to foot up, and was surprised when he
found that these reflections made out Fu-
sion Legislature instead of the Republican
one that he supposed elected; he never de-
cided any of the questions with predeter-
mined purpose in view, but simply on the
merits of each case as presented to him by
his constitutional advisers. We may say
that this is Jesuitism; that he voluntarily
closed his eyes or looked hard some other
way while the questions were being fixed for
presentation to him.

A Flimsy Defense.

The election returns have been in the hands
Of Hale and his friends for five or six weeks.
Sawyer wanted to take accurate copies of them
before he gave them up. but this was peremp-
torily refused, and he was threatened with i'm
prisonment if he did it. Why this refusal?
Could there be any other reason for it than that
any alterations of the returns could thus be de-
tected and exposed? That was the object for
which Sawyer wanted the copies. Was not
that the very reason that Hale & Co. would
not let him make the copies? Hale now shows
there have been alterations of the returns.
Was these alterations made before Sawyer gave
them up, or since? This is very important
question.-Argus.
In the desperation of its attempt to shield
Garcelon and his Council the Argus falls
into the blunder of making the above nom
sensical plea. Having carefully suppressed
the evidence before the investigating COM
mittee it relies upon the ignorance of its
readers, and invites them to take it's own
base and cowardly insinuations in lieu of the
facts and the testimony in the case. 1t pre-
tends that the returns have been altered
since they came into the hands of the Re-
publicans. Then has the c9nvassing board
not even the shadow of a pretext for its
action. The count-out was avowedls based
upon those defects which the Argus now in
Inmates were the work of Republicans after
the canvass by the Council was completed.
Thus if we believe the Argus we must be-
leve that the change in the Hebron return
has been made since the count-out. That
return gave the name of Henry c. Walker.
The middle initial was changed to g., and
tla hon 10 ;nl- ~ el.o IL
from that used in the rest of the name.
The vote of the town was given to Henry
G. Walker, and Henry c. Walker was
counted out. The Argus .asks us to believe
that the change from G. to G. was made by
the Republicans after the count. Then on
what pretext did the Council deprive Henry
G. Walker of the Hebron vote? In Wells
the original return was for Josiah Slower.
An A. was interpolated into the name, and
a certificate given to the Fusion Senator,
Josiah A. Slower. The Argus asks us to
believe that the Republicans made the in
terpolation after they came in possession Of
the return. In that case the Council gave
a certificate to man who by their own
rules did not "appear'' to be elected, and
contrary to their course in the Hebron case
counted for one man votes for Josiah Stover
and Josiah A. Stover. These are but two
cases out of many.
To such ridiculous conclusions do the
false and foolish assertions of the Argus
lead. Even Garcelon in his testimony con-
fesses that ''the deviltry'' with the returns
''was cut up from Oct. soto Nov. 17,' before
any Republican had had access to them.
These are his very words, uttered before the
investigating committee Tuesday. What
has the Argus to say to them?

Culture OF the Tomato.

OUAVu1C VI VuC 1VAAA0SVs
Germantown Telegraph.
During the few past years efforts have
been made to improve the tomato in size,
solidity, favor and earliness of maturity.
There has been progress in all these direc-
ton, not perhaps SO much actual improve
ment as many of us believe, but still good
tomatoes have in the new kinds sustained
their regulations. Old varieties seem to
gradually give way, or else people tire of
them, and they thus disappear. We have
no tomato the same as we had thirty years
ago. at least under the same name, and
yet We had them pretty large and good
kinds even at that day.
Without entering closely into the histor-
ical part of this inquiry, we yet think our
tomatoes have really improved in smooth
ness and quality as general thing, when
anyone has taken any interest in having
a good article and in tOmatO-culture there
certainly has been marked improvement.
Recently there have been brought into the
community several ideas worthy of note in
those who strive for the very best article.
In regard to training. it is asserted that
much better fruit-especially for eating
raw-can be had from plants fastened to
slant stakes, than when the plants are al
lowed to run at will over the ground, or
even when they are fastened to slanting
trellises. Heavy stakes are required of
course, as the great weight of plant in
fruit cannot be borne by light stakes.
Strong bushes are also frequently used,
and they answer very well, though some
times the vines become very dense and OBJ
struct ventilation and the ready ripening
of the fruit.
In regard to training the plants, much
attention has been given to thinning the
branches, especially when grown on stakes.
and in shortening back some of the
branches to within few buds of where
the fruit is to set. Those who have fol-
lowed this practice judiciously report good
results.
But the latest novelty in tomato culture
is in the matter of root-pruning in order
to produce earliness. In this matter some
surprising results have been achieved &C
cording to those who nave given in their
experience. While the plants are young
they are transplanted several times, which
of course destroys some of the roots,
and after they are put out into their final
resting places spade is once in while
thrust down into the ground a foot or SO
from the main stalk. In this of course
size and perhaps quality is sacrificed to a
few weeks eariness bat many are willing
to pay this penalty for the sake of the
early dish. The principle here is much
the same as is often done to get early
grapes when a ring of bark is taken off.
The supply of food being checked the re-
suit is earlier fruit, but with slightly i'm
paired favor.
These are the leading suggestions that
have been made in improved tomato cul-
ture during the past few years-not great
improvements, it is true, but still not
without value.
