Mr.. W. w: Corcoran and other gen.
tlemen have suggested to the District
Commissioners to make some provision
for the disabled policemen who have
been discharged. The Commissioners
have no fund for that purpose. How
would it do for Mr.. Corcoran to start
an individual subscription of say $50
or 800 and see Ii the people will not
contribute of their means? The in
cense from that charity would smell
as sweet as contribution of thousands
of dollars to build monument or sup
port an art gallery.-Crttic, l4th.
Indeed it would, and we undertake
to say that Mr.. Corcoran, will just do
that very thing. Now, if we can have
an entertainment of some kind and
then turn over good wallet of cash
to Mr.. Thompson, how glad we shall
feel, and then how grand it viii seem
to otir whole community.

Dist. Atty. Melton yesterday telc-
graphed to Attorney General Brewster
recommending that the South Carolina
election cases, which are set for trial
on Tuesday next before Judge Bond
and Ryan, be continued until a special
term in October next. Attorney Gen
eral Brewster telegraphed Judge Bond,
who is now in Richmond, and asked
what he thought of Mr.. Melton's sug-
gestion. Judge Bond, in his reply to
Attorney General Brewster, disap-
proved of holding special term for the
trial of the cases, and recommended
that they be continued until the next
regular term of the United States Cir

Hon Ern,pinr

There are those who desire Ia know
how Lops are cultivated and the plan
In England is TO select Il good rich soil
and plow il deep, at the sane time ma
nuring well and heavily. Good drainage
is also necessary. and ever, precaution
is taken to afford the most favorable
conditions for maturing the crop. Gut
tings or shoots of any approved sort
which have been reared in a nursery are
planted in rows six feet apart. and tho
hills should also be that distance apart in
the rows. From two to three plants are
allowed to each hill. and they are sepa-
ratcly staminate and pistillate, one male
plant being planted for every fifty Of
the others. No crop is expected the first
year. but u hoed crop of some sort may
be grown during that time between the
hills Of hops, the cultivation and manur-
ing for which is considered beneficial.
Each hill has short pole, which is
fixed before Summer, TO which tho
Young vine is fastened and trained.
Early in Spring the ground isagain cul-
tivatcd, both the cultivator and hoe be-
ing used, and the hills are finally
earthencd up in June. In this country
the distance between rows varies from
six to eight feet, and some growers use
two poles instead Of one, the poles being
from twelve to eighteen feet in hight.
Seven feet apart each way is also D
favorite distance, which gives 900 hills
TO the acre, and allows fewer vines to
the hills. Plenty of sunlight and free
circulation of air are beneficial to the
vines, and manure may be added ut any
stage OF growth, owing to the plant be-
ing q grass feeder.
AS to the quantity of hops usually
produced no exact estimate can be
made, as everything depends on the at
tention given by the grower in cultivat-
ing. The use of manure and the quality
of the soil are also important. but first
in the management Is the judici0us use
of the pillow, cultivator. and the hoe, TO
say nothing of setting, tying and train
ing the vines. From four to six pounds
have been gathered from each hill on
good locations, and it is not expecting
too much to claim one ton Of hops for
every acre cultivated, though much less
is often obtained. The crop. which is
always hand-picked, affords employ.
ment to large number Of hands during
the picking season, the prices paid
ranging according to location. The
New York hop district last year pro
duced $4,000, 900 pounds of hops, and
the cost of production was from 10 to Il
cents per pound, including all expenses
of wages, interest, use of land etc, anC
the average price obtained was GO cents
although some lots sold for 81. Tn,
crops are always quickly salable, ant
the demand for crops increase annually
