WE see by our exchanges that
the peach buds in almost every Sec
ton of the country have been win
ter killed. There seems to be no To-
calities which have escaped, and the
prospect for even a very small peach
crop is anything but good. Some
parties who have made close exam
ination, report that their is not more
than one live bud out of every five
thousand, and in some localities ev.
cry bud has been killed. We may
as well make up our minds to do
without peaches the coming season.

A True Bill.

"There is nothing new under the

cants for Office pouring in upon the
President elect, is but the repeating of
similar scenes Of the past. Soon after
the Inauguration of Harrison, Gen. B.,
of Ohio, a political and personal friend
of the President visited Washington,
called at the White House, and was in
formed by the door keeper, that, his
orders were not to admit any one, as the
President had been besie Led by office
seekers night and day ever since in
auguration; was completely exhausted
and must have rest. ''Go and tell him"
replied the Gen. "That an old friend
Gen. B. from Ohio, who acted as grand
Marshall at the celebration Of the battle
of Tipacanoe, who despises the very
shadow of an office seeker, wishes to see
him." "Admit him promptly" replied
the President. "If there is a man in
the United States that has not come for
office desire to see him." During the
interview the Gen. said: ''rhe Presi-
dent showed me a room about twelve
feet SOU re, filled from floor to ceiling
with letters. "These" remarked the
President "are all applications for Of

Scribncr for March has a number of
interesting points. The second part OF
Mrs. Buruett's piquant novelette,, "a
Fair Barbarian" will be eagerly read
by those who have read the first part,
and will be found even more interest
ing. That this story adds new laurels
to the authors reputation is not doubt

''Ericsson's Destroyer, and her New
Gun,'' is the subject of a paper, by Mr..
Baruard, who has the advantage of
presenting the first drawings of this
long expected piece of armament, with
some fresh details. In "Musical Posi-
bilities OF America" Mr.. Theodore
Thomas writes practically of vocal and
instrumental culture, church and thea
ter music, bad and good methods of
teaching, and of American violins. The
book notices are 10y specialists, as is the
aim of the magazine; and this month
they have much varie " and suggestive
ness, n review of ''Endymion" being
especially interesting. ''rhe Worlds
Work" deals with Artificial Ballast
"PowCr for Pleasure Buats.' Optical
Tests for MilS," ETC.. and .Bric-a- Brac'
has humor and pleasantry of its own
well established kind.
