The Best Time for Cutting Crafts.

In several publications we notice that
the cutting of gratis in the fall, 'or be-
fore the sharp cold of winter Injuries
their vitality" is highly recommended.
Directions are thus given how they are
to be preserved through the winter:
They may be packed away in boxes OF
fine damp moss, damp sawdnst, or bu-
ried in the earth or sand. There Is
great deal more added which we do not
think worth while to quote. This mode
may be very good one, but we have
never tried it and Just now do not seem
in the mood to do so. We have done
most of our own grating, and have been
successful. We never cut our gratis De-
fore February, and if the ground IS not
frozen stick them in at the foot OF the
tree, then the variety is known without
labelling. If the ground is frozen they
are tied up, the bunch labeled and buried
in the ground under shed or in q
rather dry place. We have set seventy
of these gratis (pears) at one time ard
erery one of them Qreac. Once on time
we employed a professed CRATER, who
brought his own scions (cherries) and
get thirty two for US, erery one of sOh'ch
died. The following spring we thought
to try our own hand at it, and set six
teen (cherries) on the same tree which
had been fifteen years planted, the gratis
cut as usual in February, and eleven tot
them grew. This we thought was do
ing pretty well with cherries. II the
gratis are all carefully preserved and
properly set, it makes no difference
whether cut in fall or spring. Cherry
CRAFTS, however, should be always cut
before the buds show any signs OF SWELL

THERE was an exciting scene in the
British House Of Commons on the Sd. Mr..
Parnell denounced the arrest of Michael
Davitt in unspairing terms. and the other
Home Rule members cheered him vocifer-
ously and cried ''Shame" The Speaker
called upon Mr.. Gladstone to move his resO-
luton Of urgency, when Mr.. Dillon rose, but
the Speaker refused to recognize him. After
being several times warned, and refusing to
yield the floor, Mr.. Gladstone moved Dillon's
suspension. Amid cheers, and cries of
"Shame" from the Irish members, the Speak
er put the motion and it was carried. Dillon
then refusing to withdraw, he was forcibly
removed by the Sergeant-at-Arms. The
other Irish members then severally rose,
were s'named" by the Speaker and their
suspension moved and carried. After the
so called obstructionists had all been elected,
Mr.. Gladstone moved the bill for the pro.
lection of life and property in Ireland was

LOUISVILLE, KY, February2.
THE Couricr-JOur7ldt has the following spe-
cial from Spring Lick, KY: Wiley Embrey,
an old and respected farmer in Butler County,
and six Of his children were burned to death
on Friday night, the wife and eldest daughter
escaping without injury. The particulars of
the burning are as follows: On the night re-
ferred to Embrey and his family retired be-
tween seven and eight o'clock, and at ten
O'Clock the wife and husband were awakened
by the roaring of a fire, which they discovered
was upstairs. and in a room where six OF their
children were sleeping.
Embrey rushed to the stair-doOr, opened 1t,
and started upstairs. when he was met by
the flames issuing from above, and fell
PROSTATE on the floor. His wife and their
oldest daughter, who were sleeping in the
same room, realizing the peril OF their own
lives, rushed out of doors, leaving behind
them the old man and six children to perish
in the house, the roof of which was then fall
ing in. The old lady and her daughter began
screaming at the top OF their voices, which
soon attracted several of their neighbors TO
the horrifying scene of disaster, but they ar
rived too late to render any assistance what
ever.
Language is wholly Inadequate to describe
the walls and means of the grlef-strlcken
mother and daughter, who stood by gazing on
all that was dear to them on earth perishing in
the angry flames. The fire was not extin-
guished until everything was consumed.
Among the debris particles of the bodies OF
the father and children were found, but not IN
sufficient quantities to be identified.
Wiley Embrey was farmer, and, by dint OF
hard work and the strictest economy, managed
to save up enough to live easy and comforta'
BILE for the remainder of his life. The whole
country is nearly paralyzed over the horrible
death of Mr.. Embrey and his six children.
| 1t is not believed that Mrs. Embrey and hei
| daughter will survive the shock.

Sk0helef,S Victory.

THE CAPTURE of Geok-Tepe by General Sko-
belief, after a two weeks siege that was full OF
desperate encounters and fruit!ess though gal
liant efforts of the beleaguered Turcomans 10
crush the Russian forces, gives the latter
firm foothold in Southern Turkestan ana
places the City of Merv at their mercy. They
are now hut 200 miles distant from that point,
and, although the season is unfavoraole 1or
an advance upon it, there is no question tnat
the dashing Skobeleff will make the essay II it
is a part of the Russian policy to occupy it.
Hitherto the Government have disclalmed
all intention of doing more than to
punish the Turcomans for their predatory
incursiOns, and have intimated that their
campaign would close with the capture
of GeOk-Tepe. The Russians, however, have
never yet conquered any of the tribes in Tur-
kestan without anneXing some of their terrific
ry, and if they propose to hold Turkestan or
any part of it there is no stronger or more
strategical point to secure their occupation
than Merv, which is not only the central point
of the great Asiatic commercial highways
that control the rich trade of that region, but
is the natural base of operations against Per-
| sia and Afghanistan, and thus OF the highest
importance from a military point of view. 1t
is the key to Cabul, and once in possession
of Merv the Russians would be within
dred miles nearer to it than the English
would be either at Cabul or Candahar. The
uneasiness of the English War Office is there
fore easily understood, for in case Russia 90
cupies Merv she is virtually menacing the
frontiers of Afghanistan and India. With
such a temptation before Russia, which Is all
the stronger because the British troops have
been withdrawn from Afghanistan, it may be
entirely probable that she will continue her
advance until she holds all of Turkestan in her
grasp. If she has been merely bent upon an
errand of revenge and to make good the losses
which the TurcOmans of GeOk-Tepe have in
ficted upon her arms, she will return to the
Caspian, but it is to be taken into account that
the Turcomans of Merv were assisting their
brethren at Geok-Tepe, and that such pre-
text would justify her in an advance against
the former city.-Chicd1O Tribune.
