New York, Nov. Gath, 1888

The Republicans Of this city are
not letting the grass grow under
their footsteps. The work of reor.
ganizing has already begun. At
present scarcely anything but the
preliminarles have been attended
to, but in few weeks plans will
be prepared and submitted and
then the party will present solid
front for 1884. As | understand
it, the organization will be SHAPED
much after that of Tammany Hall,
which after all is the only we'll or.
ganized political body in the city.
Governor Butler who has been in
the city for several days, still tells
his tale ofwoe and disappointment
to every willing ear, and insists that
he was defrauded out Of reelection
by Repu bllcan money. Strange to
say he has developed an enormous
amount of Righteousness, and even
in the most ordinary conversation
uses scriptural illusions and quota
tlons galore. Naturally, this has
caused much amusement at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel where he generally
stops when he comes to the city.

Organic Matter in Drinking Water.

Dr. Albert r. Leeus read a paper before the
New York Academy of Sciences. last evening,
upon a method of determining organic matter in
drinking water by the aid of the suns rays.
THE matter which l am going to submit to
your notice. began DIR. Leeds, ''was originally
brought to my attention during a course of in
quiries / had recently TO take up in regard TO
the Philadelphia water supply. There is no
known method of determining the amount of or
ganic matter in drinking water, or the kinds Of
organic matter contained in il, since the guam
tity is SO small and subject 10 change. The
total amount of organic matter in drinking wa
ter il Is not important to determine, hut only
that part which is injurious TO health. Food is
organic matter, and we don't think it injurious.
How to arrive at a determination of his fraction
is the point, and to get at it / rcsorted To cx-
pertinent. Ii is well known that salts or silver
are readily affected by light, and it is generally
supposed that they are affected by light alone,
but the resulting decomposition of the silver is
readily produced by light plus organic matter,
and the amount of decomposition will vary di-
rectly with the amount of organic matter pre-
sent. Finding nitrate of silver to he best for
the purpose, added portion of it to perfectly
distilled water, when no effect was produced,
there being no organic matter present. But
when introduced into the water organic sub
stances subject to decay, the decomposition
enormous. There we had the key, aud, having
got thus far. were able TO test natural wa
ters." DIR. Leeds then exhibited samples OF wa
ter from CrotOn and the Passaic in illustration.
Both showed the presence of large amounts of
organic matter by the precipitation Of the silver
shown to contain more organic matter than Gro
ton. The lecturer then gave an elaborate de-
monstration of his theory on the blackboard

Planting a Pear Orchard.

A practical grower gives his experience in
pear culture in the .imsricdn -1gricH'tTisi for
May:
Many trees that fail to grow have been plant
ed By careless or inefficient persons, aud to this
cause can he attributed the death of most of the
trees which fail after they have been set out in
the orchard. The first step is Ia have the land
laid OFF with 4 two horse pillow into good sized
burrows returning in the same furr"w to clean
it ont and widen it). twenty feet apart, for stan
dards, and fifteen feet apart for dwaTfs. When
this has been done, with light one-hOrse pillow,
draw shallow cross-furrOws the same distance
apart. As as the marks are made, COM
ncncc the planting. Before the trees are taken
to the field, have all bruised and broken roots
and limbs carefully pruned with sharp knife.
Put the trees into a cart, wagon, or barrow, and
cover them up with bagging, rs the high winds
dry out the roots even more than does the sun
shine. In the middle of the field, where it will
be equally convenient TO all parts of the ground,
have the trees hanled and also provide tub
or half barrel. flied with Il thick mud. Just
before planting, immcrsc the roots of each tree
in the mud, which will materially assist in in
surfing the growth of the trees, causing the sur
rounding earth to adhere to the roots By adopt
ing this means. We have lost less than one per
cent. of the large number of pear trees we have
planted.

A SONG OF LONG AGO


\ song of long ago.
Sing il lightly-sing il low
Sing -Oftlyke the sping of the lips used TO know
When our baby laughter spilled
From our hearts forever filed
With q music sweet a. robin ever trilled
Let the fragrant summer breeze,
And the leaves of locust trees,
And the apple buds and blossoms and the wings OF honey
bees.
Al palptate with glee,
Fill the happy harmony
Bring back each childish joy to you and me.
Let the eyes of fancy turn
Where the tumbed pippins burn
Like embers in the orchard lap tOused grass aud fern
And let the wayward wind,
Still singing plod behind
The cider press-the good, oldfashioned kind
Blend in the song the
Of the dove that grieves alone
And the wild whirr of the locust and the BUNDLES drowsy
drone;
And the low of cows that call
Through the pasture bars when all
The landscap" faints away At eyenfall
Then, far away and clear,
Through the dusty atmosphere
Let the wan. of the kee be the only sound hear.
oh, sweet and sad and low
As the memory may know,
Is the glad, pathetic song of Long Ago,
