MANuR1NG THE GARDEN 1.-The
cost Of manuring a garden plot is
SO trifing and the result so suits
factory it is a matter of wonder
that those who desire q fair harvest
of fruits or vegetables do not treat
the soil a little more liberally in
this respect. Before getting seeds,
plants, splittings or cuttings, get
manure. Study the character of
the soil and seekto give it the ma
nure best calculated to enrich it,
and there is nothing better than
well-rottcd stable manure. Let it
be we'll worked into the soil. 1t is
OF little use to a gardener to throw
it upon the ground and there leave
it. Let there be as thorough pull
verization as possible and then in
termixture Of the manure and tho
land will show it's gratitude in the
results.

Parental Cruelty.

Parental Cruelty.
Look at that young lady, nine
teen years of age, who cannot
read paper without an eye-glass
upon her pretty nose! She intend
ed to 60 to Philadelphia last year
to study medicine, but tho failure
Of her eyesight prevented her from
going and her brightest hopes OF
the future arc clouded over. At
nineteen, too! Why? Because
her parents were cruel to her.
She liked to sit up late in tho night
reading fine print by a kerosene
lamp, and they had the cruelty to
let her do it. The worst possible
way is to lot children have their
own way when their own way does
thcm harm.
There is lonely man in a hand
some house from whom his wife
has fled, worn out by many years
of abuse and violence. From
babyhood that man was ruthlcssly
spoiled by cruel parents. They
flattered him, laughed at his out
bursts of passion, supported him
in his rebellious and vulgar inso-
lence at school. With his little
brain and his big passions, it was
impossible to live with him on fair
terms. It would have been less
cruel to have killed nim in his
baby innocence than to have let
him grow up so.
There are many forms Of cru
city. Harsh words, harsh blows,
hard fare, hard work-all these
are sometimes cruel, but ordina-
rily the pain they inflict is of short
duration. Tho cruelty of which
we now speak may give pleasure
for an hour, pain for seventy years
and shame Tor generations.
Remember this when you are
crossed and denied. There are
probably a million people in the
United States, perhaps ten million,
who would give half of all they
possess to get the mischief undone
which was done to them in child
hood and youth by this kind of
cruelty. Bad eyes, weak diges-
ton, round shoulders, ruined teeth,
early decay, low tastes, painful
fecollections, shameful ignorance,
ungoyerned temper, gloom, dis
trust, envy, meanness, hate-these
all result from the cruelty of let
ting the young have THAR own way
when their way is wrong. There
is no cruelty so cruel as that

The Campaign in North Carolina.
Marshal Douglas and other
prominent citizens of North Ca
rolina who are here say that the
coming campaign in that State
will be fought on one entirely now
lssue-whiskey and anti-whiskey.
The Legislature of North Caro-
lima last winter passed an Act
making it penal offence to sell
intoxicating beverages within tho
limits of the State, but the Act not
to 60 into effect unless ratified by
the epeople at the next general cleo

all other issues out of mind and
the whole State is greatly excited
over it. Both parties are very
much divided over the. question.

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Wndom said
to-day he had given the subject Of civil SER
vice very careful consideration during his
brief stay in the Treasury Department. The
question had been frequently discussed with
President Garfield, who was earnestly in ia
vor of some practical system which would
correct the evils of the present mode of max
Ing appointments. The plan to accomplish
this had not been completed when the Presi-
dent was assassinated. A prepared sys, am
applicable to the Treasury Department was
to be promulgated upon the recovery Of Pres
ident Garfield. The plan proposed was to
relieve the President and the heads of De-
partments from pressure and importantly,
and also to afford fair opportunity for per-
sons IN the respective States to present them
selves for appointment. To do this, 1t was
propose. to allot to tie States respectively as
the law requires the number of appointments
to which they would be severally entitled in
the Treasury Department. Then to appoint
RI carefully selected committee Of three in
each State whose duty it should be to meet
once year at some convenient place in the
State, and before whom any one having de-
.s-~ ~ spter. the government service should
have the right TO present nfmserr or ner5ef
for examination, such examination to be
practical and to relate to the character, ex-
perience, and capacity Of the applicant, and
to- the duties of the position to which
the appointment is desired said committee
to prepare list Of graduates according to
the merit of those who pass examination, and
forward the paper to the head Of the Depart
ment at Washington. From this examine
ton Window believes persons should be Sc
lected from the highest OIL the list and only
to be sent for when the State of which they
are residents should be entitled to an ap-
pointment.

The Suppressed Portions of PANELS Letter
DUBLIN, October Uncomfortable COM
motion was caused by Mr.. Parnell's letter,
printed in the Freeman's Journal Of GSatur.
day. There is much curiosity regarding the
parts of the letter which that journal sup
presses, as it says, son account Of the proc
lamation of the government" The following
are the suppressed portions which are most
significant. After protesting against the for
nation of Tenants Defense League,to sue
coed the Land League, he says: The only
organization any longer possible is that the
tenants should meet upon the estates where
they are called upon to paw rent and should
decide upon the common line Of action re-
commended in the manifesto Of the Execu-
tive. The time has now come for the Irish
people to choose between Government Land
Courts and the principles Of the League. We
have used our resources to support those
who stand by our principles, but we will not
aid any tenants on those estates where their
fellow tenants on the same estates are un-
mindful of the principles. We have, there.
fore, directed those in charge Of the relief
funds to refuse assistance to tenants on any
estate where the rest of the tenants have
paid rent or applied to the Court to have a
fair rent fixed. We advise all evicted ten
ants to continue to rely on the League and
not to waste their slender resources on a
useless legal struggle. Permit me to express,
in conclusion, the unanimous feeling Of ev-
cry man in the Jail, that they are willing to
remain here for any number Of months or
years that may be necessary, SO long as the
Irish people. whom IL Is impossible to I'M
press, stand by the lessons we taught the IN
during two years."

over thousands of acres of fertile farms, pro-

in this vicinity have been broken by the
great pressure Of water and the low lands
are now completely flooded. This is the

having returned to the city, he and the other
counsel for Brady and his associates in the
Star Route case, will appear In court to-mor-
row, ready to submit arguments why the rs-
Gently submitted Information to the court
by District, Attorney Corkhill should be
qusshed as invalid, irregular, undrecedented
and illegal There Is doubt whether the
argument will be heard, on account of the
absence Of special District Attorney Cook,
who has direct supervision Of the case. No
lntimztion has been received from Mr.. Nc
veagh that he will have ANYTHING to do with
these proceedings and the Impression among
the lawyers Is that sufficient reason has not
appeared why information should not have
reached the court through the Grand Jury.
Brady's counsel will score the first mark in
the contesting.

ed ILLEGAL by the First Comptroller. 1t is said
the claim was endorsed by the State Depart

The Star Route Cases,

WASHINGTON, November Cool. Cook
special attorney for the government in the
star route cases, appeared in the Criminal
Court to-day and said The government would
be prepared to argue the motion to quash the
information in the star route cases Tomorrow
MacVeagh states that he long ago declared
that he would prepare the star route cases
for court and then drop them that he never
had any intention of going beyond the grand
jury with them, and in pursuance of this
plan he employed eminent counsel for the
prosecution. Therefore he maintains he can
not justly be charged with abandoning the
cases or Sinking duty in insisting upon leav.
ing the Cabinet.
