Some Things in General.

Says the Rural NeW Yorker: For early
melons or cucumbers many plant the seeds
on inverted sods cut about four inches
square. The sods are placed in frame of
any kind and covered to the depth of half
an inch with mellow, rich earth. The
plants root firmly in these sods the same as
they would in small fower-pots and may
safely be transplanted as soon as the wealth
er becomes settled and warm. For melons
this is an excellent plan, since our seasons
are scarcely long enough to ripen them be-
fore the cool nights of autumn, when the
seeds are planted in the ground in the
usual way. Late melons are never sweet.

HOUSE AND FARM.
Amber Cane. or Sorghum.


An Oconomowoc, Wis, correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, furnishes the follow
ing condensed directions, compiled from
most approved sources, on the culture of
this important product:
Seed-Pure seed should be obtained
from reliable sources, using say two to
three pounds to the acre. Seed should be
obtained from different locality every two
or three years, as experience has shown that
it deteriorates by repeated replanting in the
same locality.
SOFIA rich, warm, sandy loan, with
sandy or gravelly subsoil, is the best for
cane; but it will grow wherever corn will.
UNDERSTANDING benefits this crop perhaps
more than an other. A very rank black
soil produces a large crop, but inferior
sugar. Sour, mucky, wet soils should be
avoided. High lands are much the safest
from early frosts.
Preparation of the Soil.-The roots of
sorghum run very deep; they have been
traced to the depth of four feet. There
fore pillow deep, subsoil if possible, thor
oughly work, and well pulverize. Manure
the year before, or use we'll rotted manure
in the spring, but never fresh or raw. A
crop of clover turned under the year before
is capital preparation.
TuntUty.-f IanC early, even DeIOre corn.
An early start is very important when the
frost comes early, as the plant grows very
slowly at first. Plant half an inch deep,
and in rows three feet apart each way, and
ten or twelve seeds in each hill. When
well started, thin out to from five to eight
good strong plants
Culture-The young plant is tender, and
grows slowly. Care should be taken lest
the weeds get the start. With the above
extra caution the same care should be ia :
ken as with Indian corn.
Enthusiastically evil should be
be carefully avoided. Different kinds of
cane, IMPLANTED too near, will hybridize
with broom corn, doura- corn, and all the
millet family; and in some localities, the
corn has been badly deteriorated for lack OF
care in this respect. Some contend that il
will hybridize with Indian corn, but Others
doubt it. 1t is said Siberian corn will not
mix with anything.
Last years crops of sorghum were very
satisfactory, and perhaps double the
amount will be raised this year. Three

TYPES OF THE TUNISIAN.
The VagabOndIsh Holy Mana Dis
gusting Sight,

The Tunisian type Of humanity, writes a
correspondent, is the common oriental one.
All the Tunisians delight in brilliant
dresses, and their taste In costumes Is per-
feet. The embroidery displayed on their
garments is almost inconceivable. 1t Is
usually of the same color as the ground,
but just shade darker. In ell the various
articles of apparel the colors are marvel
Ously blended, the tints are extremely
delicate, and garments which in words
must be described as rose cOlored robe, a
tea green Jacket, canary yellow pantaloons,
and a pale blue burnous leave on the eve
nc sense Of discord. The house Of the bet
ter classes are built of brick or stone, and
their interiors are often magnifeentlY deco
rated In all the splendors Of oriental taste.
The Tunisian ladies', when visible, are mere
masses OF mantles and thick wells, through
which one can detect neither face, nor form,
nor expression. l have seen in Europe dirty
vagabOnds who were considered holy men
by the crowds, but never have l seen such
dirty vagabonds as the "saints' of Tunis
You see in front of mosque an old fellow
with the face OF an idiot, with dazed eyes,
In his right hand knottY stick, in his left
q straw basket
This is a saint who on Fridays prophesies
and breaches at so much an hour. The
audience gives him money, but he does not
refuse offerings In kind. He has every
privilege and no obligations; he may even
see ladies unveiled. A still more distin-
gushing object was occasionally met. A
man with haggard face, terrified eyes, long
hair and bare head, and, for wonder,
wearing shoes, stands before you. He car
ries a basket containing a quantity of
snakes; he takes one by the middle in HIS
left hand and seizes another close to the
head by his right. He raises the latter to
his lips; he puts out his tongue to meet the
vibrating tongue of the reptile; and, having
shown that it dare not bite him, he bites of
It's head and swallows it.

A Neat but Not Gaudy Marriage
Service.

The marriage of John Bright's Youngest
daughter, which occurred at TorquaY re-
Gently, was in the Quaker form, and took
place in little meeting house established
at that place by the Friends several years
ago. The ceremony was an interesting and
impressive one, the nuptials being cele-
brated at the ordinary week day devotional
meeting of the congregation. After the
bride and bridegroom had seated them
selves at the upper end of the building
with their relatives, the clerk called the
meeting to order, after which prayer was
offered by Mrs. Fox. The bridegroom
then stood up and repeated the following
words Friends, in the fear of the Lord
and in the presence of this assembly, l take
this my friend Margaret Sophia Bright, to
be my wife, promising, through Divine as
sistsnce, to be unto her loving and faithful
husband until 1t shall please the Lord by
death to separate US" The bride made a
similar declaration. Then the marriage
certificate was produced and signed by the
bride and bridegroom, this act completing
the ceremony.

Reports from the scene of HOstlIi-

SAN FRANCISCO, September ia Tucson
dispatch says: ga mass meeting, com
pletely filing the largest hall in the city,
was held last night to discuss and take
action on the Indian question. Mayor Carr
presided. The unanimous sentiment of the
meeting was in favor of urging the govern
ment to remove the Apscbes to the Indian
Territory, and in the meantime it was
thought to be necessary to organize for
territorial protection. A committee was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions, which they
will report tonight.
News was received from Fort Thomas
last night that the White Mountain Indians
have gained control of the canon command
ing Fort Apache. Should this be true, In
spite of General Wilcox's movements, the
situation is undoubtedly very Sc
rious. At the meeting last night
there were many prospectors and
mining men, who one and all stated that the
idea of a concerted movement among the
Indians was positive, and sooner or later the
Apaches would surely join the White Noun
tain band. The situation in the past forty
eight hours has assumed several serious

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Destructive Work of a Boiler In
Jersey City.

JERSEY CITY, n. j., September 13.-A
destructive boiler explosion occurred this
morning at Bolman & Browns dry dock,
foot OF Essex street, resulting in the imme-
diate death of two men, and fatally injuring
three others. The tug W. E. Chadwick was
in the dock FOR repairs. The engineer of the
dock, George Everson, had been called
away, and had left his son Walter, aged
twenty four, in charge. He had omitted to
put water In the boiler, and an explosion
occurred. Captain Decker, of the tug, was
standing at the rail on the side of
his tug, and was instantly killed
by piece Of the boiler, which completely
severed his head from the body and entirely
destroyed the pilot house OF the vessel.
James TammanY, aged thirty-five, was also
killed by the same piece, his skull being
crushed. The remainder of the boiler few

Of six hundred feet or more, to the corner
Of Green. In its course, at the corner of
Hudson street, it cut down a lamp post,
fire hydrant, two large trees, and two wagons
standing in the street were entirely destroyed.
The horse and cart Of John Adams, which
his son, aged thirteen, was driving, were
struck by the flying boiler, the vehicle and
horse being literally cut to pieces, and the
boys right leg severed from the body.
There are many tenement houses in the
neighborhood of the accident, and had the
explosion occurred q few minutes later the
loss OF life might have been much greater.
