WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The recommenda-
tion of Commissioner Dudley to Secretary Tel
Ter that hereafter no one shall be allowed TO
practice before the pension office as an attor-
ney unless he is a member in good standing of
the bar of some court in the United States,
strikes at onessof the worst features of the dis

The Lottery Business.
Washington newspapers are much exercised
at the recommendation of the District Com
m;ssiopers that papers containing lottery ad-
vertisements should not be permitted to circu-
late through the mails and retort that cummis-
sioDers should not be allowed to speculate in
stocks or engage in other speculations. A
Treasury official SAYS that there are three tick
ct buyers for that Department alone. There
are several bucket shops in the vicinity of the
Treasury, where clerks can gamble without
violating the law on as small a sum aa is neces-
sary to purchase lottery ticket.
The Newport Torpedo Explosion - No
Further Action to be Taken by the Navy
Department.
The Secretary OF the Navy has declined to
grant the request of Lieut.. Commander Cald-
well now commanding the q. s. s. Pints for a
trial by court martial to establish his Juno
cence of all responsibility for the torpedo ex-
plosion at Newport in August, 1881, by which
ACCIDENT Lieut. Commander b. L.. Edes and
Lieut.. L. 6. Spaldi0g lost their lives. The
action of the department is basod upon the
ground that the case has been already thor
oughly investigated, and does not call for
further notice.
Miscellaneous.
The Proseus court of inquiry has finished the
documentary evidence at hand, and, unless an
expected paper from Secretary Chandler is
read tomorrow morning, the examination of

OF all the varieties of fruit usually
grown on the farm, perhaps the ounce
is less frequently seen than any other.
OF late our farmers have begun to set
out peach trees in hope of obtaining
partial crops at least. There are many
reasons why every farmers garden
should have few ounce bushes grow
ing therein in order that a supply for
the family may be secured il none are
marketed. The ounce is hardy, de-
cduous shrub, reaching height OF
from ten to fifteen feet and bearing
large white and pink blossoms quite
late in the season. The fruit is of a
rich golden color and in some respects
resembles the orange. The ounce is
easily propagated from seed, layers or
cuttings. The soil most suitable for
this fruit is deep moist loan and when
well nanured if the bushes arc thrifty
abundant crop may be secured. 1t bears
easily and with q favorable growth in
four years from transplanting the trees
ought TO bear q peck Of fruit. There
are number of sorts grown in this
country, the Champion being the latest
acquisition and said to be the largest
variety grown. The most extensively
grown variety in this country is the Or
ange This sort is of good size, color
and flavor; it is remarkably productive
and with good treatment bears fair,
smooth fruit that uniformly stews ten
der and is excellent for drying pur-
poses.
There is one thing TO be considered
81 hot Il =
.grown in such quantities but what the
iarmer can get at least 81 per bushel,
and it is oftener that be gets twice that
amount. The canning of vast quanti-
ties of this fruit always render their sale
assured Very many growers do not
properly prune the bushes so as TO adj
nit the sunlight and thus avoid hayint
so much green fruit. When tho bushes
are overloaded the fruit should be
thinned out and the rest will be larger
and better. When set in rows about
twelve feet apart Is the right distance,
and if in very rich soil fifteen feet may
not be too great a distance. The b0rer
Is liable 10 attack the young bushes and
even those that have reached a consid-
erable size. In this section the quiece

the Middle States and at the West large
orchards Of the ounce are cultivated.
Riding into gentleman's door-yard
recently we noticed three large bushes
close by his hennery. The fruit had
been gathered, but the owner informed
the writer that from the three bushes
he obtained two barrels OF large mar
kctable fruit. When properly cared for
there can hardly be more paying crop,
since almost every family puts up" q
few ounces
