SUCKERS FROM TREEs.-Some trees are
much more inclined than others to send mp
suckers from their roots. The ailanthus and
white poplar. among ornamental trees, and
the pear and plum, among fruit trees, are
more or less troublesome in this respect.
This propensity is greatly enhanced by dig
giug or plowing among the roots. On lawns,
such trees are q nuisance, and they should
not be planted where neatness is to be the
ruling element. Repeated moving of the
young suckers will eventually eradicate
them, if the ground is not otherwise dis
turhed

MANURING VINEYARDS. -Adrice Ttro
Hundred Years Old.-If you find your vine
yard poor in working, which the poorness of
your crop will soon make evident, spread
good, rotten dung, mixed with lime, over all
your ground; let this lie whole winter,
that it's virtue may be washed into the earth !;
and this dunging l prefer much before the
digging and mixing it with your mould.
But to have it in perfection, lay your mate
rials in large heap, in a proper place, near
your vineyard A layer of fresh and natural
earth taken from the surface, and then an
other of dung good deal thicker, then again
a layer of earth, and so en-, mixing load of
lime to every ten loads of dung, will make
an extraordinary dung or compost for your
use But your store will require the matu-
rity of two or three years, and to be covered
with the aforementioned qualified earth,
and somewhat shaded, that neither the sun
may draw from it nor the rains spoil it. In
the months of December and January dung
your whole vineyard with this composition;
thirty loads will serve for an acre, but lay it
Oh equally and spread it inely.-7Ne English

"a Mere Caprice" by Mary Healy Chicago
Jansen, McClurg & Co.., is story Of French life,
containing some striking sketches of character and
manners scenes of dramatic force, ard an element
OF true pathos. It's faults, chiefly somewhat
sensational exaggeration in the wckedness OF one
of the principal personages and the preparation of
certain apparatus of mystery of which after all no
use is made, not likely to interfere materially
with its success, nor indeed do they essentially
injure its quality. The Baronne Olga, whose
caprice il is 10 adopt child of and Misfortune,
is q creature of almost impossible responsiveness !;
hut If she is too melodramatic, there are other
characters in the story-Baron Jean and his ford
wife, Maxine, Laure and two or three minor
actors and actresses who might have been drawn
from the life. The plimpses Of French society and
shrewd remarks upon art show that Miss Healy is
keen and intelligent observer, who has made good
use OF her opportunities. There two or three
incidents which point to the intention Of framing
o some what elaborate plot-an intention which the
author has apparently abandoned in the progress
OF the work. AS 1t stands the story is a simple
one and the course Of Olgas mere caprice" Is
traced with an effective directness to its tragic
end The BOOK is wholesome and impressive.

All About a Parrot.

NJ. B. Curtis-Frank's brother-and his wife
have pet parrot which is their constant trav-
cling companion, and which speaks the Kings
lnglish with amazing fuency. The loqua-
Gus bird caused quite panic at the Windsor
hel, Denver, the other night. 1t seems that
tn Curtis family occupy rooms directly ad-
iofng Governor Tabor's apartments at the
hot, and that evening, as the Governor was
entslg his apartments he heard what he
thoult was female voice saying, "Hell o,
baby The Governor was a trife startled
he isvery gallant man, but he could not for
the iiicf him imagine what he had ever done
to warAt any female in addressing him SO
familiar. The salutation appeared to be in
tended him, and it came from the transom
over theoor of the room directly across the
hall. ThGovernor was nonplussed. "Hello,
baby-prey baby" said the voice again, and
me Goyerpr blushed as he stroked his fierce
moustachend tried to brace up and look dig
nlhed. "Vbnt you come and kiss your baby?'
called the wee again. in deliciously seduc-
tive sort of yay. Now the Governor seldom
takes dare ofsny kind. To do him justice,
he is brave ma, and at this particular mo-
ment he felt big cough to tackle an army. He
'"'sHnt softly over tothe door and asked, "Are
you talking to me?s mice baby" said the
voice; but no sooner lad the voice spoken than
another voice from inside the room-a big,
bury, man'sVoice callei out, go away from
that door and let the parrot go to sleep" 1t
was Mr.. Curtis who spoke, but he had no idea
it was Governor Tabor outside. Governor Ia
Dor slid quietly into his room, but he thought it
was such good joke he had to tell the boys
about it after supper, and in the opera house
lobby the next night it was all the talk.

Arrival Of the Admiral.

The steamer Admiral which has been char
tered by the international Steamship Company
to run between Eastport, Bar Harbor, Grand
Menan and Campobello. in connection with
their line from Boston to st. John via Port
land, arrived at this port at o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
The Admiral is splendid vessel of sos tons,
which was especially fitted up in elegant style
by Geu Butterfeld OF New York, her owner,
to carry Generals Grant and Sheridan and
others, from Florida to Havana in 1880. The
Admiral is 176 feet long, % feet breadth OF
beams feet over all-11 feet depth Of hold.
She was built BY government, and rebuilt in
1880 at Wilmington, Del 7. Stock built the
vessel and John Murphy & Co. OF Brooklyn
furnished the engines. The latter are 4s inch
cylinder and 10 inch stroke. The steamer is a
side-wheeler and schooner rugged. She has
been employed in 1.-THE trade between Florida
and Havana by the Louisville Nashville
Railroad Co. until lately, last summer plying
between Boston and Gloucester, making two
trips day. She has 60 state-rooms and ac-
commodations for 800 day passengers.
The Admiral is beautifully finished. She is
painted in white and drab, and some Of her
state-rooms are Of double size. They are all
on the saloon deck, cool and comfortable
There is nice after-deck for the accommoda-
ton of passengers. Her dining-saloon is a
model of beauty, on dock like the state-rooms,
well forward, finished in hard woods, with
great windows giving free circulation of air.
Then there is pleasant promenade deck for
ward. The steamer possesses what few vessels
can boast, excellent bath-rooms. She has
dumb walters, 10 that no doors may reach the
dining saloon.

Railroad Notes.

The opponents of the fusion OF the Grand
Trunk and Great Western railways assert that
the formal notice calling the recent meetings
of the shareholders of these two roads was IL
legal. The matter has been under considera-
ton of the solicitors of the Great Western rail-
way, who express their doubts. As matter OF
precaution, special meetings OF the sharehoid-
ers of the roads have been convened for the
10th of August, when the agreement between
the two boards of directors for the amalgama-
ton of the two roads will be again submitted
for ratification.
Canadian advices state that the Canadian
Pacific railroad has purchased the rights OF the
Southeastern Company, which has charter OF
a railway from opposite Montreal to the Pro-
vircial line The object is to prevent Ameri-
can companies from making connections nom
Montreal to Chicago on the American side.
The Great Eastern, however, has charter
also for a road from Montreal to the Provincial
line, but there is no immediate prospect OF the
work going on unless it is undertaken by
American railway men, in which case the road
will not be continued to opposite Quebec and
join the Intercolonal with Halifax as its ter
minus. The Canada Pacific will not build a
bridge over the st. Lawrence River, but con.
struct q tunnel at the lower end of the city
The determination of the Pacific to compete
with the Grand Trunk and American system
is evident in this.
