Clerical Promotions.

A. B. Clements of Brooklyn, has been pro-
NOTED from the position of a copyist in the
judge advocate generals office, war depart
ment, to n 1,2OO position in the quartermas-
ter generals office. He was certified by tho
civil service for S1,20O clerkship, but VIZ 5
assigned to duty as copyist. In view of this
promotion, the secretary of war will with
draw from the civil service commission a
rcquisiton for $1,000 clerk, and substitute
ono for cOpyist.
Several vacancies exist in the 81 200 grade
of the adjutant generals office. All the eti-
cient clerks of q lower grade have already
been promoted and there is some doubt as to
whether these vacancies can be filled by the
promotion of clerks appointed to tho $1,000
grade under the civil service rules, but who
have not served the probationary period or
whether tho secretary of war will have to
make requisition on the civil service COM
mission for $1,000 clerks. In all probability
the promotions will be made
The following appointments were yesterday
made in tho sixth auditors office, treasury
department: Mr.. u. Ellis, disbursing clerk,
was promoted to be chief of the collection
division, in place of Mai. L. j. Evans, re-

chasing SO pieces Chenille Fringes, sew

And we also pounced upon another lot

PUBLICAN reporter last evening the chief of
the District of Columbia division of tho

seems to be very little movement in them,
Thoy are held up to 1.ll4 and l.12 on the

"Why Is that ?" asked the reporter.
at is because tho 3,65's seem to sympathize
in their upward movement with tho United
States per cents The latter bonds range
high for the reason that this department is
calling in tho extended 6's, and as fast as they
(the 6's) are called in vacuum is left which
has TO be filled by other bonds by national
banks in order to secure their circulation IN
place of the 6's. The only bonds which seen
! TO be available are tho per cents. and tina

A DrOn Trial Of Memory.

Memory was a favorite subject with
Mackffn. He asserted that, by his sys-
tenn, he could learn anything by rote at
once hearing it. This was enough for
Foote, who, at the close of the lecture
(Macklin was lecturing at the Great Pr
azza Room, now the Tavistock HoteD,
handed up the following sentences to
Macklin, desiring that he would be
good enough to read them, and after
wards to repeat them from memory.
Here is the wondrous nonsense:
80 she went into the ga rden to cut
q cabbage leaf to make an apple pie,
and, at the same time, a great she bear
coming up the street pops his head into
the shop. What! no soap?' So he died,
and she very imprudently married the
barber; and there were present the Pic
ninnies and the Joblillies, and the Gar
yulies and the Grand Panjandrum him
self, with the little round button at top,
and they all fell to playing the game Of
catch as catch can, until the gunpowder
ran out of the heels Of their boots. =
The laugh turned strong against old
Macklin; and the laugh has been echoed
from the Great Piazza Room by thou
sands during the century that has
elapsed since Foote'S drollery put out
Macklin's monstrous memory with
these straws Of ridieule. IN T tiraphGs.

The Asparagus Bed.

Asparagus Is not SO generally cult
waited as it ought to be. This state of
affairs is due to the fact that an opinion
exists among many that asparagus is a
difficult and expensive growth to
manage, whereas the truth is, bed
once started will keep in good condi-
ton for many years with trifing labor,
provided always it be fed well.
1t has long been an open question
whether fall or spring is the better time
for starting asparagus beds. This ques-
ton may be answered in each partic-
ular case only after considering the
climate and soil. Generally speaking
more depends upon the condition of the
soil than on the time of setting out the
plants. If the soil is heavy and moist,
and the winters long and severe, spring
is the propitious season, but in sandy
or clay loan and in moderate temper
allure it is as well and often times bet
ter to prepare the bed in the fall.
A rich sandy loan forms the bed in
which asparagus thrives most success
fully. The growth Of the vegetable de-
ponds largely on the depth and richness
of the soil, therefore the necessity of
deep culture and plenty of well-decom-
posed manure.
When time is an object the most ex-
peditious mode is to set out two-year-
old plants, though plants that are one
year old serve well. One of the errors
in asparagus culture is crowding the
plants in the bed. Cultivators differ in
practice concerning the distance apart
the plants are set. For culture on
large scale, where horse, hoe and
cultiyator are employed, three and
half feet by two and half feet win
prove q convenient distance In the
garden where space is consideration,
the plants may be placed closer; still,
their planting with. clean culture will
give far larger and earlier asparagus
shoots than will plants set closely to-
gether. After planting a top-dressing
of old manure is beneficial.
Old asparagus beds that have made
vigorous growth the previous summer
call for a liberal manuring in the fall.
The rule is to apply manure in autumn
and salt some time during the spring.
