THE article on the Landing of the Pill
grims, written for the Atlantic by Sid
ney Howard Gay, has brought the officers
of the Pilgrim society to their feet in de-
fense of the day now celebrated as the ami
versary of the landing. Mr.. Gay sought to
prove that the Pilgrims did not land in De-
cember, and did not first land on the shore
at Plymouth, but more likely on the coast of
Duxbury. A communication to the Boston
Daily Advertiser, written by prominent
officer in the Pilgrim society, continues the
discussion

The President To-day.

By another of the series of fluctuations that
have marked the Presidents case he is to-day
showing arally from the retrograde movement
of yesterday. While the Improvement, or at
least the halt in the deteriorating process,
noted, may not afford ground for san guine hope
of his recovery, it at least gives evidence that
he has considerable vitality left, after all the
enormous drain upon it, and he therefore has
still the one chance out of hundred for life
that he cOurageousy planted himself upon
when he was first shot. The people will look
forward with apprehension, however, to the
Presidents coming Black Sunday, that, judging
by the past will bring turn for the worse.
Should he get through tomorrow without loss
of strength hope will revive again.
P.S.-Later dispatches report the President
as having suffered from rigor, or chill, and
vomiting to-day, and that his pulse rose to 137.
1t is evident that his situation is aarmingly
critical.

The Blair letters. as they are now called, prom
ise TO remain prominent issue of the political
canvass in Virginia. unless the alleged author
adopts more vigorous measures than he has so
far to prove them forgeries. The testimony of a
few partisans, one way or the other. carries no
conviction to the mind of the unpreudiced per-
son. For every readiuster who will swear that
the letters are forged no doubt democrat can
be found to offset that oath with another that
they are genuine. and probably the atlantis on
both sides would honestly believe that they
Were telling the truth. Such testimony is
Ness. III the letters are 1orgeries they were
conceived and executed with the purpose of
doing Blair great injury. and certainly the law
can reach the parties guilty of the forgery. 1t
Clearly seems to be the duty of Capt. Blair TO
put the machinery of the law in motion Ii he
does not. nobody Will Wilson. having produced
the letters. and having declared that he received
them in due course Of mail. is the person against
whom the suit should be directed. The result
OF the case would necessarily turn upon the
genuineness or f;llsty of the letters and there
fore all the testimony of every character having
any bearing upon this question would be pro-
duced. As the matter now stands. every man
is free tC decide for himself whether or not the
letters are genuine. He can elect to believe
either Blair or Wilson, just as his feelings may
prompt. for as the case rests it is simply ques-
ton of veracity between these two.

To Keep Shaded Places Green,

From tho Germantown Telegraph
Els 'ecially iu the front yards of dwellings,
both in town and country, which are much
shaded, we often see the ground completely
bare, not living thing being perceptable.
Sometimes there are many nearly nude,
struggling limbs lying upon the ground OF
very near it, which are unsightly and every
way worthless. that ought to be cut away.
This would give room for the growing there
of some plant or vine that would be adapted
to it, and which would not only cover the
naked spot and make it living green
but would be adding much to the general
appearance of the premises. The best vine
for this purpose is undoubtedly the peri
Wrinkle. 1t will grow most anywhere IN the
shade If the proper attention is given to it,
but not otherwise. 1t is beautiful vine
and will densely cover the ground, produc-
ing nearly the whole season a very pretty
blue flower. Weeds, however, are it's dead
~ enemies. It cannot fight them. Stead
lily they will encroach until they drive away
our favorite and occupy the field of battle.
A little help now and then. however, will
defeat the common enemy, and allow us to
enjoy the cool looking, popular evergreen
for many years without renewal

Sal lin the Vesuvian tay

A bird afOat,
Swims round the purple peaks remote.
Round purple peaks

Blue irlets and their crystal creeks,
Where high rocks throw,
Through deeps below,
A duplicated golden glow.
Far, vague, and dim.
The mountains swim;
While on Vesuvius' misty brim,
With outstretched hands;
The gray smoke stands
O'erlooking the volcanic lands.
Here Ischia smiles
Ger liquid miles;
And yonder, bluest of the isles,
Calm Capri waits,
Her sapphire gates
Beguiling to her bright estates.

Where swells and falls

At peace l lie,
Blown softly by,
A cloud upon this liquid sky.
The day, so mild,
Is heavens own child,
With earth and ocean reconciled;
The airs feel
Around me steal
Are nlurmuring to the murmuring keel.
Over the rail

Within the shadow Of the sail;
A joy intense

Glides down my drowsy Incidence.
With dreamful eyes

Where summer sings aud never dies
O'erveiled with vines,

With glowing lip
Sings as she skips,
Or gazes at the far offsbips.
Yon deep bark goes
Where traffic blows,
From lands of sun to lands Of SHOWS;
This happier one,
Its course is run
From lands Of snow to lands of sun.

The Royal Agricultural society of Eng
land has fund of EFT 1928, but SO discour-
aging have been agricultural interests there
this last year, that from May, 1880, to May,
1851. the society lost ZIG members by res
ignatlon. as we'll as 3 governors and 43
members by death, and 4Oby removal from
the list by order of the council.
And now comes the prepa ration for har-
vest: Happy is he who has all the needed
implements in good order; for he not only
enjoys the satisfaction of swiftand thorough
work, but the profit resulting from making
the most OF time and labor.
few years ago Lord Fitzhardinge of
England caused considerable talk among
stock breeders by paying 4, 500 guineas for
Shorthorn bull, known as the Duke of
Connaught. There were many breeders
who thought man who would pay such a
price for bull was fit subject for the
lunatlc asylum, and so expressed them
selves. At recent sale Of Shorthorns at
Llddington, Lord Fitzhardinge. referring
to the subject, stated that the bull in ques-
ton had already earned him 1000 guiDeas
besides procuring for him stock which had
never been beaten. A high priced animal
may, therefore, prove in the enda very
cheap and profitable one.
The Lice Stock Journal says there is no
mystery about grooming horse. Feed
him on any nutritious food, keep his skin
clean, brush and rub the hair thoroughly,
and often; keep him in a warm and com
Portable stable, and in unusually cold
weather blanket him. Blanketing him will
aid materially in giving smoothness to the
coat. There is no particular kind of food,
drug or nostrum, that will give smooth
coat to horse, in the absence of the above
named conditions, and with them no drugs
or condiments will be necessary.
Every farmer should keep book in
which to paste agricultural scraps. Every
one III reading paper will see a number
of things he will wish to remember. He
will perhaps see suggestions the value of
which he will desire to test, or hints which
he will want to be governed by future
operations, and yet, after reading the pa
pers he will throw it down and will prob
ably never see it again. In such case all
the valuable articles will be lost. To pre-
vent such a loss, every reader should clip
from the papers such articles as he desires
to preserve and remember, and paste them
in scrap-book. Such book at the end
of a year or two will be very interesting
and valuable,

Tidiness About the Homestead.

From the Rural New Yorker.
There is an old story to the effect that
once upon a time there was man in search
of a housekeeper, and as applicants for the
position arrived he arranged matters so that
each one, as she entered. found broom
lying on the floor in her way. All the wo-
men but one stepped over the broom and
passed serene]y on. The one woman who
stopped and picked it up secured the place
of housekeeper solely from that fact It
was her only recommendation; but her
employer argued from that, that the wo-
man was observant and orderly-two quail
fcations that he highly appreciated.
Whenever you walk over sticks and brush
and rubbish in your yard, that disfgure its
tidy appearance, instead of picking them
up, remember that you are stepping Deer
the broom, and somebody will pass judg-
ment upon you, by what you may be
pleased to call very insignificant induces.
But the judgment in most cases will be
quite correct.

Subsequent to the separation from her
husband, Mrs, Raleigh was questioned as
to the illicit distillery which he is said to
have run in the cellar of his house in this
city at one time, but of this matter she pro-

that one of the men IN charge being drink
ing with some companions and not liking
the quality of the tanglefoot offered him,
told the crowd that if they would come to
the cellar he would give them some that
was genuine, as he had helped to make it
himself. These are but the merest scraps
