what Size rrees % Buy,

Purchasers of trees often make the
mistake of supposing that the larger the
tree bought the greater the gain. Nur-
serymen, who of all men should know
as to this, say that there is absolutely
nothing gained by buying large trees.
This applies, of course, in general
sense. If tree could be removed
every few years, SO as to have an abun-
dance of fibrous, or small roots, there
would be no check on removal, and such
a tree would never become too large to
move proftably. The general run of
trees are not treated thus, and SO the
larger the tree the less likely is it to
have many roots, and as consequence
the tree must either be pruned back Sc
yerely, or let alone to make a weak
growth, and perhaps die. The best
way is to get a medium tree, treat it
well, and it will give far more satisfac-
tion than large one would have done,
without much doubt.

An authority ON dentistry stated in q
recent lecture that the first knowledge
of dentist surgery was brought to this
country by person who accompanied
the French troopsduring the Revolution.
The first dentist was established in New
York in 1788. George Washington's
false teeth were retained in. the mouth

800 dentists in the country in 1842,

The Following from the oswego IN

The following from the Oswego Times
of June 4, is the most bitter commentary
yet made by any paper, Republican or
Democrat, in regard to the best means of
solving the present Republican difficulty.
"a few days ago we published the sug-
gestion of q prominent Republican IN this
city that few magnanimous words from
the President advising the reelection OF
Conkling and Plat would settle the
trouble and make the party one organ.
Other papers have Endorsed this suggestion,
and correspondents have reported the
President as saying that he desired Mr..
Conkling in the Senate ON account of his
great services and ability and did not be-
lieve there would be cause for further con-
troversy between them. If the President
will say the word over his own signature,
in accordance with this view Messrs. Conk
ling and Plat will be sent back, the muir
murs of the shadows viii cease and the
party win become reunited and strong"
Conkling left the Senate because he said
the President was liar and there was no
truth in him. He came to Albany for
re election which would amount to
vindication and a consequent brand
ing of the President with the cpl
thets that Conkling had bestowed
on him And now this paper proposes in
good faith that Garfield should ask for the
return of Conkling, when the unavoidable
inference would be that he styled himself
the perjured wretch, and Conkling the
honorable man. by doing SO. If the sug
gestion had come from Democrat paper
it would read ike an enormous joke on the
party of great moral ideas, coming from
Republican one it is strange and won

The following anecdote of Carlyle is a
fair sample of the many told in regard to
that gentleman. They seem to be told as
either funny or else as carrying with them
some praise Of their great subject. 1t is
strange that infatuation can SO distort
peoples judgment as to allow his friends
to suppose that these anecdotes are COM
plimentary to Carlyle, when in truth they
are damning arguments against his good
manners, his good taste, his good sense, his
charity, or any Of the qualities, the posses
sion of which we praise men for.
Take the following:
''Some years ago new history of Eng
land greeted with much shouting, had APP
peared and judicious or injudicious friends
thinking to please Mr.. Carlyle. asked his
opinion of it.
Yes" said he-and the racy dialect, I'M
fortunately not reproducible in print, &C
centuated his words-'I have read it, that
is to say, took it up, and know that here
was young man who had taken pains
about his subject and perhaps knew some
thing about it. But / saw that there was
a great deal about the British constitution,
and great deal about liberty, and as /

ton, and as ] don't care a - for liber-

COMMON TALK.

President Garfield no doubt means well
enough toward Indiana, but he has to look
square over the state of Ohio to see Hoo
sierdom, and his political eyes generally get
dim before he reaches the Indiana line
Chicago Inter Ocean.
We regret to see statement that Secre-
tary Blaine is overrun by office seekers.
We had supposed by the character of some
of his appointments that he had very few
men to chose from, and those few scaly
paople. Boston Herald.
Neither the president nor the senate,
whom the resignation of Conkling was in
tended to affect, has altered in the least.
If he was justified in resigning, he was not
justified in seeking reelection, because
he would return to the same president and
the same senate whose conduct he holds to
have justified his resignation. Harper
Weekly.
As it stands to-day the sympathies of the
disinterested naturally go out toward
Conkling, because he is one against a
thousand. Like hunted stag he stands
with his back to the wall, lunging at a
swarming pack of bloodthirsty hounds,
who flock upon him like wolves. What
every manly American likes to see, if there
is to be fight at all, is fair fight. When
a man is down it stirs ones blood to see a
hundred enemies jump on him, kick him
in the face and stab him at every point

The American people are not easily fool

1t will be of no use of any of the men, or

The New York San wants TO know
whether there is any use in falsehood.
Well, that depends good deal on circum-
stances; the boy with a conf1diug mother,

apples thinks that there is; while his COM
panion, whose parents keep slipper
handy, who always feel of his hair when
he gets home and afterwards cross ques-

falsehoods are delusion and snare, and
is bitter against his faulty imagination,

MARRIED TNTELTcITY.

It is a great pity that people who are
infelicitously married cannot worry along
as best they may without making their
woes public. Most people who seek relief
in the divorce courts fail to find it, In
stead of gaining the peace and comfort
which they think is sure to follow on their
legal efforts for freedom, they succeed in
making themselves additional unhappy
and intensely ridiculous. Grin and bear
it, is, perhaps, hard rule to follow. But
it is better to endure than to court the
absurd situations and the ridiculous criti-
cisms which must follow on publishing
matrimonial misery to scandal-loving
public. 80 PHILADELPHIA Times

Take the following:

The animated discussions INDUCED in
by our Republican friends on every street
corner or whatever place of meeting they
may have, shows conclusively that all is
not quiet in their camp, and the continu
Gus wrangle over Conkling and the admin
istration is typical of the coming more ser
ious row. Hotel corridors are nothing but
a mirror of other places, but the fact that
it is Republicans contending with Republic
cans in all these matters, is what makes
the Democrat draw quietly out of the dis
cussion and smile happily to himself as he
listens to the wordy war

himself liked by all, and was regarded
not only as a man Of great ability in

but as warm hearted, "whole-souled'

and sympathetic, he was eminently
popular. He was moreover, heart

in its extremity, however, he did not

powers to be warped under the heat
Of his intense egotismi because he let
the ordinary graces of everyday cour-

admiration that his genius received
was received was turned into a per
petual nourishment to his pride. His

that you will never DO retarded in the

brotherhood be forgotten, lonely in

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
More than twenty years ago, when it
was found that prevention for cholera
was easier than cure, a prescription
drawn up by eminent doctors and pub
lished in the New York Sun, and it
took the name Of the Sun Cholera

Our contemporary meyer lent its
name TO a better article. We have
seen it in constant use for many years,
and found it to be the best remedy for

Vised.
No one who has this by him, and
takes it IN time, will ever have the

The death of Secretary Burch leaves
the Senate without any disbursing
officer or any deputy authorized by
law to execute the functions Of such
officer. There is no one whose drafts
upon the treasury can be honored, ex.
cepting the secretary, unless the
treasury department should assume
the extraordinary responsibility Of
deputing this trust to the chief clerk,
which it is not at all likely to do. Ii
is not at all probable, therefore, that
either the Senators or the employees
of the Senate can be paid until new
secretary is elected. This will work
no particular hardship to the former
who, as a general thing, are not de.
pendent on their salaries for support
and certainly ought not to be, but il
will no doubt occasion a great deal o.
