Oys ters and Oyster Interests.

The Hartford C0ur0nt, in an account of the trip of the party to the oyster dredging grounds outside New Haven harbor on Fri day, says : For some time Lieutenant Wins low of the navy has been experimenting in the artificial propagation of oysters, and has made greater progress than had been before reached in this branch of scientific research Lieutenant Winslow is the author of serles of very interesting and instructive articles upon this subject, which have attracted much attention in scientific circles. He has suc- ceeded in demonstrating that oysters can be impregnated artifcially as readily as fish. They are wonderful y prolific, single oyster producing more than million young. He is now experimenting to ascertain how these minute young oysters can best be propagated and broug ht to maturity. Yesterday he had 8 tin can containing about four gallons of salt water in which were somewhere from seven to ten million young oysters. Taking a portion of the water in glass, and holding it up to the light the eye could detect minute particles of dust floating therein Under the m1scrocope these were seen to be perfectly formed young oysters moving about with every evidence of life. The steamer WAS stopped just inside of the new breakwater where Mr. Rowe has laid out a new oyster
 
 with oyster shells from a schooner On a part of this bed already sown with shells the can containing the young oysters was lower ed to the bottom and emptied of it's con tents, tents The Inc expectation is that the young oysters, or at least DOT tion of them, will attach themselves permanently to the shells. The element of uncertainty is in the lack of knowledge as to the exact time when the young oyster is ready. to attach itself, ''set," to use the technical term. Tho oysters planted yester day were forty eight hours old The expert. ment will be repeated under conditions, al- though as yet it has been found impossible to keep the young oysters alive in confinement longer than six days. Some six weeks later an examination will be made by the use of the dredge, and if unusual number of young oysters are found it will be proof that the experiments have been successful. If se, It opens wide field for oyster culture, for the science of artificial propagation is very simple.

A verdant youth claims he was beat
out of 500 by two three-card monte
sharps last Wednesday. He stood around
and looked on while the "capper" won
ten or fifteen dollars, and noticing the
corner of the winning card turned up,
he concluded to invest in what he
thought was sure thing, put up $50,
and, Of course, lost. The way innocence
whined was amusing; he was rushing
around, almost frantic over his loss, try
ing to find an officer to arrest the pair. In
these days of newspapers, any one that
would let pair of sharks beat them at
that old game ought to lose his money.

Sabbath Brpakiny.

There seems to be great deal of law
lessness as regards the subject which
the head of this article intimates. No
matter how little regard a man may
have for religion or religious observ-
ances, there is not one who,wil argue
that the observance of the Sabl ath is
not good thing. Without this
seventh day Of rest the ceaseless, un-
varying wear, on the human mind
and body, would tend to shorten our
lives many years. Then without
entering into an extended argument
we believe that all will agree that the
Sabbath should be kept. The law
makes hunting and fishing on Sun
day punishable offence. And then
as law-abiding citizens we should
help to uphold the dignity of the law.
This article Is not intended as
hit on any one, but as rumors reach
our ears that many of our citizens are
tnthe habit of shoulderfng their guns
and going to the woods Sunday on
hunting excursions, we simply wish
to enter a protest against the example
which they are setting to the young
and rising generation. 1t has even
reached our ears that officers of the
law are among those who openly
violate, the very law they are sworn
to protect, this we hoDe Is not true, as
1t would not speak well for the officers
so offending. Let us do our hunting
Oh some other day than Sunday.

A Good Ohio Idea.

General Beaver protests that he is not
controlled by bossisln in Pennsylvania.
Why then does he not read de-
cIarution of independence of Cameron
and thus clear away the only real OBJ
lection to his candidacy urged by the
Independents? He is in danger of
defeat simply because it is universally
believed that ne owes his nomination
to Cameron and will be his creature
If elected. As self'preservation is the
highest law of nature let Beaver come
out squarely against Cameronism and
his chances will be improved a hun

Republican ranks In 1884, he must
turn from the error Of his ways and
yield to the demands of the respecta-
bic element of his party, which has
| shown such strength. Democratic
victory will be rebuke to Cameron,
aud one that he should heed. With
out Pennsylvania as O probable Re-
publican State in 1884, his power in
national convention, in the national
councils, and-in view of a probable
Democratic President in that event
in the national administration, will be
stripped from him. Without these he
is nothing. If his wings of patronage
are clipped, bis fall will be sudden and
final. Surely sinner will never have
had greater inducements for regenera-
tion.n
And If Beaver succeeds?"
THAT can only be done by the aid
of Democratic votes. But, however
the end is gained it will be virtual
triumph for Cameron; his power
will be strengthened and the shackles
will be more firmly riveted on politi.
cal serfs. He will control the Repub-
lican delegation from Pennsylvania to
the national convention of 1884, and it
will probably be instructed to vote as a
unit for Beaver. This will be the old
Cameron trick to enable him to throw
the vote for whom he wills at the later
stages of the convention

Heroes of the Plains.

In American history there are no
more Interesting figures than the
Heroes OF the border. Bold, dashing,
adventurous and patriotic; loyal to
friends, to country and to the interests
of society, their work was singularly
effective in the advancement of west
ern civilization. With seeming reck-
nessness, their efforts were in the in
terest of law and order, and the people
owe them debt of gratitude they do
not forget. Their pages in history is
as fascinating as it is honorable, and
there is peculiar pleasure in reading
the narrative of their wonderful eX-
ploits. Among thoes, whoes career
were singularly adventurous, are Kit
Carson, Wild Bill, Buffalo Bill Capt.
Payne, Texas Jack, California Joe,
Capt. Jack and others, whose achieve
ments have made them justly and
widely famous. They have a warm
place in the hearts of the people, aud
a prominent one in their admiration.
1t is appropriate that their achieve
ments should be recorded, and we note
with pleasure the forthcoming of
new book from the press of N. d.
Thompson & Co., New York and st.
Louis, called THE HEROES OF THE
PLAINS" covering the ground of bor-
der history. 1t Is profusely illustrated
with a 100 engra wing and 16 col
ored lithograph plates. 1t is sold by
subscription through agents, and pre-
sents an opportunity to agents to make
money especially inviting. We ad-
vertise it in another column.

Blanching the Celery.

We last month described the man
ner OF bringing the leaves of the
celery into an upright position, ol
handling" rs the gardners term it,
The stalks are still green, and not fiji
for use until they have been whitened
or "blanched." This is done by the
complete exclusion of light which is
usually effected by banking up OF
earth. Any other method that will
completely shut out the light will
answer. The banking up is done with
spade, one person OH each side, TAX
ing the soil from between the rows
aud forming steep bank against the
plant, covering all except few inches
of the longest leaves this bank is 10
or IL inches wide at the bottom, and
should be compact and smooth. In
three or four weeks after banking the
celery may be used. Only that
which is needed early requires to be
banked the stock for winter Use is
blanchel in trenches. or in boxes, and
needs only the handling to bring the
plants into the pr per shape A
trench is dug in dry place, 10 inches
wide, and deep enough to contain the
whole plant, so that the top will be
level with the surface. The celery is
then placed in the trench, packing it
AS closely as possible, in an erect posi-
ton. When cold weather comes the
celery, which is not injured by mod
crate frost, must be covered with straw
or leaves, the thickness of which must
be increased as the weather becomes
colder. For family use, celery is often
stored in boxes in the cellar, but the
cellar must be cool. Boxes are made
nine or ten inches wide, of any con-
length, and of height little
less tnan that of the plants; the bot
TOM is covered with an inch or two of
sand or soil, and the celery placed in
t as in the trenches. The taking up
md storing of the main crop, in the
attitude of New York, is left until the
middle of next month. but in more
lorthern localities it should be done
