FRUIT HEDGES.-A writer in the Gard
ener's Chronicle makes the suggestion that
division lines between residences, which
are now often merely low hedge, might
as we'll be made of currants, gooseberries
or raspberries, as Of fruitlcss thorns or
evergrcens. A wire stretched at two or
three feet above the surface would mark
the exact division between u.eum and
tNum, and i'll the case of raspberres, would
serve for both sides to attach the tips of
their canes to, SO as to be neatly held up.
With due attention to pruning out imme-
diately after fruiting, tyingup the shoots
for next years bearing, and to the equal
necessity Of hocing and mulching. such a
/ division hedge could be made to look
/ quite neat, as well as to afford liberal
supply of homegrown, well-grown and
enjoyable berries.

four bottles, and 1t has done me more good

by your medicine and from torment of the

One gave me seven ounces of solution of
arsenic; another took four quarts of blood
from me. All they could tell was that
it was skin sickness. Now, after these
four bottles of your medicine, my skin is

CoNGREss.-A Western member of Con-
gress says that the familiar names of
numerous streams, or rather alleged
streams, will be missed in the river and
harbor bill at the present session. 1t has
long been known that for years large
sums have been appropriated for the i'm
proycment ofbrooks and creeks few inches
deep, and which by no possibility could
be made navigable. The Congressman
says the protracted drought of the summer
and fall has dried up number of these
so thoroughly that they cannot even be
'resuscitated through the means of a river
and harbor bill. >ts.-

LIBELLOUS LETTERS.
An Anonymous Writer Stirs up
a PhiIadelph Ia Church.

PHILADELPHIA, June 28.-An imi-
tation of Fairfax Williamson, who
harassed Rev. DR.. Dix, of Trinity
church, N. Y, appeared here in the
bosom of a highly aristocratic Protest
ant Episcopal church, st. Marx, and
has written forged letters to the rector,
Rev. DIR. Nicholson, and eleven mem
bers of bis flock, all libellous and
scandalous in their nature. The
first letter was r ceived two
weeks ago last Friday and alleged
criminal intimacy between two prom
inent members of the church. DR..
Nicholson called upon the postmaster
and asked the cooperation of the de
partment to catch the writer. TIE
postmaster placed the case in charge
of special Officer Barrett, and care
full watch was instituted for ten days,
at the end OF which time, the mailing
and supposed authorship of the letters
was fastened upon an insane person
formerly an attendant of the
church. In view of tho
respectability of the alleged
culprits family, and his recognized
diseased mental condition, the rector
postmaster and detective unite il
Withholding his name for the present
Visits to several of the prominon
vestrymen and one of the rectOr's as
sistants disclosed the fact that they
have not been let into the secret O.
the authorship. One of these gentle
men, however, left it to be inferred
that more than one person was Ger.
tainly connected with the offense.

ARKANsAW is one Of the growing,
progressive, attractive States of the
South, and is destined to enjoy long
period ofsteady development, growth
and prosperity. A pleasing picture
could be drawn of what has been ac-
complished in that State within the
last few years, and of what is yet to be
done. Yet in the face of all this, an
unusual list Of crime has come from
that State in the last few weeks. 1t
breaks out in unexpected places and
from unexplained causes, Nearly
every day comes some terrible report
from that State. This is the more re
markable because of the general law
abiding spirit which prevails, the
vigilance of those charged with the ex-
ecution of the laws, and the efficiency
Of the machinery Of the government.
And where legal hangings do not
happen often enough, the people
sometimes take out an exceptionally
deserving criminal during the invol-
uutary absence of the Sheriff. and ad
minister justice in the primitive style
that prevailed before jails, s,courthouses,
churches and schoolhouses were built.
This kind of justice, though not TO be
encouraged and fostered, is sometimes
better than no justice at all. 1t is to
be hoped, however, that the authori-
ties will redouble their vigilance, so
that it will come to be understood that
crime can always be repreSsed or pun
ished in that State by law, even when
there are symptoms of phenomenal
epidemic.

Petty ThieVery Among Servant
Girls.

Correspondent Boston Advertiser.l
One of our police captains informed
me yesterday that there was an
epidemic of criminality among the
servant girls in his precinct, and a
curious case, of which l myself was
cognizant, has given quite a shock to
con6ding householders. A young
American girl Of gentle manners and
pleasing appearance has been employed
in family to take care OF child, but
had been dismissed on account Of be-
ing absent on a certain day and giving
false account of the cause. In spite
of this her mistress parted with her in
kindness, and she came back from
time to time to see the other servants.
In the meantime Mrs. - found her
stock of diamond rings, clothes and
money growing small by degrees and
beautifully less" She was naturally
troubled, but knew not who to suspect.
One day the waitress came to her in
great excitement, and said that the
dismissed girl was down stairs and
had two OF her rings With much
presence of mind she told the waitress
to keep the girl in conversation, and,
running to her room, rang the district
call for the police. The girl was
found to have distracted rings and
other property amounting to some
thing like 5000 in value, and to have
realized on them the magnificent sum
of $612l She pleaded guilty, and Sc
cured the restitution of all the stolen
goods. 1t was declared by an eminent
Judge of our Supreme Court that he
had never in his whole experience on
the bench known of thief putting
his or her head in the lions mouth by
coming with the property in possession
to the place from which it had been
stolen. Through his advice and the
kindness of the employers, sentence
was held over the girl, much to the
disappointment Of the officers who
made the arrest. In speaking Of this
case to me and of the gentle manners
and good behavior of the girl, the
Captain told me that a woman had re-

SOME Of the papers complain that
news is gathered slowly in Mexico for
American use, and that it comes
slowly over the wires after gathered.
The full particulars Of the terrible
railroad accident in that country
which too place last Friday evening
were not published here until yester-
day afternoon. This is slow service
compared with the enterprising, swift
methods of this country; yet it is a
vast improvement on Mexican slow
ness and must be set down as a won
derful feat that the news was sent at
all over the wires. 1t is something
new to have telegraphic communica-
ton with the City of Mexico, and we
must not expect too much Of a people
who in many respects are more than a
hundred years behind the times. The
opening up of the country to railroads
will bring Mexico directly in contact
with the outer world for the first time
and then will arise the necessity for
daily newspapers, prompt telegraph
service and competition in gathering
and transmitting news. These de-
mands, of course, will be anticipated
and supplied. Mexico is about to
wake up from a long sleep to a new
life and prosperity.
