A Profitable Fruit to Grow.

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 a few ounce bushes grow
ing therein in order that a supply for
the family may be secured if none are
marketed. The ounce is a hardy, de-
ciduous shrub, reaching a 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 a deep moist loan and when
well MANFRED if the bushes are thrifty
abundant crop may be secured. 1t bears
easily and with a favorable growth in
four years from transplanting the trees
ought to bear a peck Of fruit. There
are a 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
in growing this fruit-that it is never
grown in such quantities but what the
farmer can get at least ST. per bushel,
and it is oftener that he 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 having
SO much green fruit. When the bushes
are overloaded the fruit should be
thinned out and the rest will be larger
and better. When set in row about
twelve feet apart is the right distance,
and if in very rich soil fifteen feet may
not be too great a distance. The borer
is liable to attack the young bushes and
even those that have reached a consid-
cradle size. In this section the ounce
is chiefly grown in the garden, but in
the Middle States and at the West large
orchards of the ounce are cultivated.
Riding into a gcntleman's d%oor-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 balsels of large mar
ketable fruit. When properly cared for
there can hardly be a more paying crop,
since almost every family ''puts up"
few ounces.

A COlOred Ex.COnfederate.

The MANNED figure of a colored man,
holding open the Capitol square gate
on Bank and Eleventh streets, has
long been a familiar sight to citizens.
The poor fellow stands OF two stumps,
each leg having been chopped off just
above the knee. That colored gate
holder has an interesting history, the
facts in which were brought out some
years ago, when a dyspeptic made OBJ
lection to the cripple's attending at the
gate. 1t seems that during the war
the man who was then quite young was
taken out to work on the Notifications
near the city. A shell tore away both
legs. After the var he posted himself
at the Capitol square gate, and this has
been his post for many years. He opens
the gate for pedestrians and takes what
ever they will give him. Some years
ago when a communication of thirty dol
lars was paid to the wounded eX-Con-
federatc soldiers of Virginia some per-
sons interested themselves in the gate
holder and lie received his thirty dol
lars. As soon as he obtained the money
he vacated his post, bought a ticket Tor
Norfolk and other cities and made a
tour of the country living, as longas his
money held out, like a prince. When
the cash was exhausted he stumped his
way back to his old post, where he re-
manned taking pennies until a few days
AGO when he received a second install
ment of communication money, this time
amounting to sixty dollars. He at once
started on another tour, and there can
be no doubt that the poor fellow will
have a glorious time.-Richmond (Va.)

mo due honors to the dead.
Pneumonia has for some cause or
other increased in an alarming manner
in this country and during this spring
particularly it has demanded a fearful
number of victims. In New York dur
inc the last twenty years, the deaths by
his disease have increased Il little less
than two hundred percent. and through
out the Northern end North Middle
States there are three or four times as
many deaths from pneumonia in pro-
norton to the number of inhabitants as
there were in 1860. A great many rea-
sons, among which the carelessness of
many in regard to the c~hangeability of
the weather is the most important one,
are mentioned as the probable causes.
Ii is said by some that people live in
warmer houses than they used to, and
60 more frequently into warm theaters,
and come forth from them into the sharp
air by day or night, catching the de-
structive cold. Coming out of a
heated church or theater into the cold
air is no doubt a proceeding fraught
with much danger, but takingthe whole
number of persons who are exposed by
attending funerals and going to the
cemeteries, and those who are exposed
by coming out of warm buildings, prob
ably a hundred take colds at funerals,
which develop into pneumonia, to one
who suffers in the same way at theaters
etc. Many lives are undoubtedly sacri-
feed every year to what is called the
funeral proprieties. There is no reason
why men who bear friends to the grave
should expose themselves to the muir
derous influence of bad weather.

The World Moves.-skil and Science
~Triumphanta

Our reporter relates the following remarkable ex.
periencc Of one OF our most reliable and substantial
merchants, Deacon Stephen G. Mason. Mr.. Mason
says that from 1869 to 1880 he suffered terribly from
frequent very severe attacks of indammatory rheuma-
tism. The last attack in the winter Of '79 and 80 was
80 severe as to render him unable to take q step In four
months. His physicians thought that one side Of him
was %paralyzed, and both knees became SO still that he
could not bend them. The doctors pronounced his case
incurable, leaving him in a terrible condition. He was
then induced to try Hunts Remedy, by q medical
friend who told him that his whole sickness and trou.
bic arose from kidney disease, and convinced Mr..
Mason that such was the case, and after taking It SIX
weeks was entirely cured, and is now In such excellent
physical condition that neither damp weather nor wet
feet affect him disagreeably. MI. Mason says that his
cure is complete, as It IL more than two years since he
has had the disease. II attribute my most remarka-
BILE cure solely to Hunts Remedy. the Infaliblc Kid
ncy and Liver Medicine, y says MI. Mason.

Every one of us was opposed to duel.
Ing, but not a growl was raised. An.
other man got up with the driver, the
baggage was restored, and the two
d%uelists, each looking very grave and
determined, crowded in. For the first
lve miles not a word was spoken, and
then an Ohio man beside me carefully
whispered:
Isn't it about time they reached the
spot:"
another five miles was passed, and
anen one OF the women ventured to re
mark that it was an awful thing to fight
a duel. 1t began to rain, and the other
woman observed that both duelists
would probably catch their death colds,
even If neither was shot.
