POLITICAL BUNCOMBE.
To the Editor ofTnr RrrunIIcAw:

To the Editor ofTnE REPUBLICAN,:
The attempt of Wolfe, in the recent Boilers
Convention, to dub those renegades " Garfield Re-
publcNns" and the platform adopted by the con-
venton, is MS bold a piece of political buncombe
as was ever penetrated. The late President Gar
fed was no more Of a civil service reformer than
Is the bulk of the Republican party, and the at
tempt to monopollze his name and fame was liter
ally stealing the livery OF Heaven to serve tho
devil in" The declaration Of the boilers, that
"the nomination aud election Of James A. Gar
field to the Presidency signiied the triumphs Of
true reform in the civil service" has not only
little foundation in fact, but Is signally contra
dicted by his practice after his election, That he
did not understand tint lie was elected as civil
service rciormer Is apparent from the fact That
tion was the removal of General Merritt from the
coeetorship Of New York, a competent officer,
against whom no complaint had been made in
the midst of his term, ana the
APPOINTMENT OF JUDGE ROBERTSON,
who had 10 special fitness for tho position, and
who was given the place merely as reward for
political services, And this removal and appoint
ment were not only uncalled for, and were wholly
| unjustifable, but were made over the remOn-
stranee not only Of the Senators from the State,
| but the Vice President and member Of the Cabi.
net coming from the same State. II there Is any
| thing in ciYll.seryce reform, no moro gross yio-
lati0n of its principles was, ever committed by
any public man; aud hence the nsincerity Of the
| Pennsylvania soreheads In claiming Garfield as
such Ieiormer Is entirely apparent. Il s no
| themselves "Gnrficld Republicans" was voted
| down. The sham was too transparent for the 200
men who constituted the convention, but the fact
that such motion was made, and that the plat
| form claims
GARFIELD AS cIvIL-sERvIcE REFoRMER,
in the sense in which the convention used that
| term, proves that the members are not honest in
their expressions, and are, as sore heads usually
| do sailing under iale eolors. They profess In
their platform TO be Republicans, and II they are
| no better ciYll-seryice roformers than Garfield
was they occupy Republican ground on that ques-
ton. There Is nothing left for them, then, to
stand upon but opposition to what they call boss
| ism, which means only personal hostility to Sem
ator Cameron. That is all there is IN the move
ment and anything beyond II is mere pretense.

David S. Booth, on November 8, 1850,
when the result in this state ofthe presden-
tial election was still in doubt, made bet
with George NJ. b. Nudge that Garfield
would not receive 10000 majority in the
state, The money was deposited with u
man named Ferdinand, who, few days
subsequently, when the reports were
that Gartield'S majority was more than
10000, paid it over TO Nudge as the winner.
Booth brought suit in The court of common
pleas against Nudge to recover the money
under the statute against betting, The de-
Tense is that, as the bet was made after the
election had been held, it was not made

Cara of Fruit Trees

There are some seasons when to neglect new
" set trees for single week viii prove fatal
Persons of limited experience think If a tree he
well SET and leaves out, they have nothing more
10 do but to enjoy its growth This is mistake
Many trees die the first season they are set, al
ter they are well lcayed out, ana perhaps made
several inches growth.
The sun in Cur latitude is so hot during the
summer months, that very large quantities OF
water are thrown off by the leaves of the trees.
and unless the roots are numerous enough, ana
are surrounded with sufficient moisture to sup
ply the water as fast as it evapOrates through
the foliage. the leaves will lose their natural
color, begin to wilt, and finally die.
newly set tree has but limited supply OF
roots, and none Of them penetrate the soil very
deep For this reason, as soon as the leaves be-
gin to grow, the draught on the roots for water
Is such that the limited space they oeenPy Is
soon drained of all moisture. To guard against
this il is necessary to resort 20 artificial means
to supply water in sufficient quantities to keep
the earth around the roots continually moist.
The more tree grows, the more water will the
roots be obliged To absorb, TO keep up the waste
by the evaporation. In addition TO the amount
Ofwater taken up by the tree, and eVaporated
through the leaves, there are always large guam
titles lost by evaporation directly from the soil.
Two feet beyond where the roots extend. and up
90 within few inches of the trunk, should be
heavily mulcheG, until the tree is well estab'
Iished.
When tree Ia 10 be vatered, it should not be
done by pouring few quarts Of water within q
few inches of the trunk of the tree, bpt the
ground should he well wet in n circle around
the tree larger than the space occupied by the
roots. II water be applied in this way, it is moi
necessary to water every day. Once week il
often enough, unless it be very dry.-Hdssdch"s

How Slate Pencils are Made.

Broken slate from the quarries is put into a
morter run 10y steam, and pounded into small

manner, is added, and the whole is then made
into stiff dough: This dough is thqFnaghly
kneaded by Passing 1t several times between
iron rollers. Then it is put into eharges-that Is
short cylinders four or five inches thick, and con
tanning from eight TO ten pounds each. Four OF
these are placed in strong iron chamber or re-
tort with a changeable nozzle 50 rs to regulate
the size of the pencil, and subjected to trench

sition is pushed through the nozzle in long
cord, like a slender snake sliding out of hole,

which cuts them into lengths. They are then
laid ON boards to dry, and after Tow hours are
