Printers in the West.

William ". Grail, who died at Louisville, KY,
last Thursday evening, was one of the oldest
printers and newspaper men of she West. He
was born in Wheeling, Va, in 1918, and when q

1S49, Mr.. Grail bought a half interest in the
Madison Banner, a weekly paper, and removed
TO Madison to aid in conducting it. His partner
at that time was Daniel D. Jones, who died soon
after the paper became a daily. Subsequently
became associated with Mr.. Grail in publishing
the Banner, and the paper was conducted by
them until a year or SO before it died.
After selling his interest in the Banner, Mr..
Grail went TO Chicago, and took serv-
ice on the Democrat. then edited
by John Wentworth. He remained at
Chicago but a short time and then returned to
Louisville, where he resided until his death.
1t was Mr.. Crails custom to visit his mother,
at Greensburg, every year, and he Invariably
stopped off in this city, either in going or COM
his old partner, Mr.. Woollen. He was here last
July and spent a day or so with each of these
gentlemen. He was a modest, worthy man OF
the %strictest integrity, and was beloved by all
who knew him. The old editors OF the State
will drop q tear to his memory.

The meeting of the Indiana Cane-growers' AS

that a better quality was produced when lime

was to remove the acid-llke taste. 1t was

use of steam was advocated as better and cheap

How to Set Trees.
Correspondencs Country GentIeman.

Correspondence Country Gentleman.
In the spring of 1876 planted number of
trees in the Observatory grounds near here,
and had the holes dug out and reflled for us
by contract For shelter belt of pines and
spruces l had holes dug feet wide by feet
deep, the good soil kept separate from the
poor, and the holes filled up again with the
good soil and the equivalent of the poor in
earthly muck, at IL cents per hole OF course
we furnished and carted the muck to the holes
These trees were a miscellaneous lot, from
to feet high, and were planted in March
and April, They have grown very we'll, are
in vigorous condition, and now Scotch frs
average liz feet high, feet spread of
branches, and 10 inches girth of stem feet
from the ground; Austrian pine. II feet high,
Q feet spread, IL inches girth; white pine, 10

high, 81 to 10 feet spread, inches girth,
and white spruce ID feet high, 10 feet spread
and inches girth. The white pine and the
spruces are now running up over feet a
year.
For the specimen trees such as oaks, ma
pies, beeches and choice conifers we had
holes dug ten feet wide by three feet deep
and subject to the same conditions as the
small holes, for 80 cents a hole. These spe-
cimens are mostly on high sloDing thin
land; therefore by making ample provision
for them to begin with, we expect that they
will be talr-slzed trees before they will have
to depend for living on the soil beyond that
prepared for them, and then they will be
well able to rough it. Five years ago planted
lot of Norway naples along the side
walk on the street. made the holes eight
feet wide by two deep; filled up with fresh
soil-almost anything I could get together
such as loan, peat muck, screened earth
from the rubbish pile-and packed the whole
very firmly. They We're well-rooted, fine
straight So trees. They have grown very
well, and l have shortened back their
branches two or three times They are now
seventeen to twenty feet high, with stems
ten to eleven inches in girth. A Weir's cut
leafed maple among them has outstripped
them in growth.

Philadelphia Millionaires.

Broadway Lounger In New York Tribune.
Mr.. Frank Mclaughlin, of Philadelphia,
told me on Thursday that Francis Drexel OF
the banking house which originated there,
was said to be worth $l3, 600, 600, and An
thony Drexel worth 81, 100000. There were
about 100 millonaires in Philadelphia and
some fortunes of $5,O00,000 to $4,000 900.
Jay Cooke was probably worth $4,000, 600
again. A Mr. Williams, of whom little was
known, was one of the wealthiest Phitadel-
phians The son Of Thomas A. Scott, age
about thirty, was building the finest resi-
dence in Philadelphia, on Walnut street.
Mr.. George Roberts, president of the Penn
sylyania railroad, was put down at six mil
lions and Mr.. Cassatt at two or three. Mr..
Roberts's salary is $4,000 a year. Mr..
Thomas, once of Jay Cookies banking house,
was now partner IN Drexers. Colonel Nc
Clure had $34 900 income from his paper, his
wife owning 555 out of the 1000 shares and
his salary was $4,000, included in the above.
Eight millions had been spent on the new
public buildings at Broad and Market. The
State would probably be recovered by the
Republicans at the next election.

Light seeds, such as parsnips and rhubarb
