NATIONALAID TO EDUCATION.

\ correspondent sends Us a conun-
drum, to wit:
Should the general Government extend
aid to public schools? IL not, why not?
What arguments would you bring to bear
against the movement"
The writer will find in past editions
of the REGISTER very full discussions
of this question in all its phases. There
is nothing new to be said on the sub
ject.
Those who oppose aid from the Fed
eral Government do so chiefly on the
ground that it would invite or open the
way to infringement upon the rights OF
the States. They hold that each State
has the right to educate its own chill
dren after its own notion and without
any interference from outside influence
or agencies.
But aid might he extended to the
States if necessary without bearing
with it any political, religious or other
influence from outside the State. The
propriety or improperly rests entirely
i'm the plan or manner in which aid is
extended. Wedon't think there is any
State that would object so receiving aid
in this behalf if it were allowed to dis
burse the money under the control and
direction of the State officers, as its own
funds are disbursed.
Ina Republic like our own. the safety
and perpetuity Of the government de-
ponds upon the education of the masses,
and the general government might
with propriety contribute to the cause
of education in any or sll the States if
it were done solely for the intellectual
advancement of the people.

Dead Apple Trees.

/ have lately been cutting away
some sixty dead and dying apple
trees, from an orchard of 300 trees
planted, a portion in 1867. In exam
ming into the cause of death and
decay, find that some of them We're
injured past recovery by the ravages
of the borer; others by the bursting
of the bark; while still others were
badly used up by top-grafting My
experience in the latter is decidedly
bad. During the twenty-three years
since planting the first of these trees,
| have perhaps as many as two dozens
of them topgrafted to their varieties
two or three Winesaps to Willow
Twigs and several other sorts to Ben
Davis-and the result has beeA unfor-
tuuate in nearly every case. In cut
ting away these | find that the graft
lug has most invariably caused the
grated branch to decay at the heart;
and this has continued TO increase till
the new growths would be broken off
by the winds. and the whole tree iniur-
ed. Very seldom can a tree be made
shapely after top-grafting. And,
although / have formerly advocated
this process, in the case Of non bear
ing or improbable sorts, my dearly
bought experiences convince me that
l was wrong. Far better to Stay the
tree at once, and replace it with an
other, a twO-year old.
OF course the remarks apply only
to the top-grafting of trees that have
attained to considerable size say
bearing age; and not to young trees.
The process Of top-graftlng newly
transplanted trees, in order to form
the head of desired varieties, while
retaining the hardy stem, is doubtless
a good one. and should probably be
practiced more than it is. One
thoughtful aud experienced nursery
man and orchardist has informed me
that if he were to plant another orch
ard, he would choose all Ben Davis,
and top.graft such portion as desired

tanning the Ben Davis stem through
the whole orchard.

Gov. Pattison's Fight with a Deer.

Editor Dern, of sthe Altoona Tri-
hume who accompanied Gov Pattlson
in a recent hunting expedition in Sui
Ivan county, gives the following
NIunchausen description IN the Erl-
bune of how the Governor used his
Gun: Everybody appeared to be
anxious that the Governor should get
fbe first shot. Just on the other side
of the bridge where the Fishing
Creek Confederacy' had its headquar-
tiers, and right on the rock where It's
fort is said to have been built, the
Governor was stationed. He did not
have long to wait until he saw the
monster of the forest, ten-prOnged
buck. with antlers like an elk's, com
ing directly for HIM. They looked at
each other for a moment, and then
lost their tempers. The Governor,
with his trusty breech-loader, began
to pour buck shot into the face OF the
noble animal This only served to
enrase the buck the more. The space
between the two rapidly diminished, the
Governor all the time pouring shot
into his antagonists face. As the
glaflng eyes OF ine puCh Cdlut IcNtl
with his enemy S, and as his hot breath
famed his cheek, the Governor, re
memberng his strengthen he is a
powerful and well-built man, stand
inc six feet two and one-half inches in
his stockings-threw down his gun
and grappled with his fierce foe Then
began the tug of war Down the
steep mountain they rolled, first one
on top then then the other, bounding
from one steep cliff to another until
at last when near the foot of the
mountain, the Governor succeeded in
getting the right fore foot over one of
the prongs of the monsters antlers,
thus entirely disabling him. After
freeing himself from the animal and
taking a long breath he drew forth
from his belt, a large hunters knife,
and stabbed the buck to the h art.
During this great struggle his cloth
ing was torn to shreds and he looked
more like beggar than a Governor.

tenaNce when told that he was 1.-The

German Treatment of Diphtheria

The new German remedy for diph-
liberia, turpentine, appears to find
many advocates. Children take one
teaspoonful morning and night,
adults a tablespoonful; in children te-
pid milk is given after it, and might
also be mixed with the sanle Half
an hour after the administration of
the drug a bright redness begins to
spread from the margin of the diph-
theric emulation, and this redness be-
comes generally diffused over and
taking the place of the false mem
brane, and the disease is said to disap-
pear within twentyfour hours with
out leaving the slightest trace.
While this remarkable effect is said
to be invariably met with when the
remedy is made use of at the very
commencement of the disease, those
who recommend it so highly assert
that it is also successful, only less ra-
pidly, in cases that have already pro
crossed for several days.
