Apple orchards appear to be in a
sad condition from some cause, un-
doubtedly the unusually long and
severe winter coming after a very
backward season last year. IL ap-
pears that very few trees, except the
hardest varieties, ripened their wood
well last fall and consequently the
winter was too much for them, freez-
ing and killing very many and Sc
verely iniuring others. Very few
trees have put out many blossoms
and the crop will, without doubt be
slight if not a total failure. If ap-
pies are to become to any degree a
staple crop in this section it is eyi-
dent that some steps must be taken
TO protect trees from the effects Of
extremes Of temperature and long
winters. The cheapest and most
convenient plan perhaps is to wrap
the trunks and largest lower limbs
with ropes made Of straw twisted
either by machinery or hand. This
is not nearly 50 much Of task as it
at first appears and will, If presist-
emily followed up, pay ten-fold for
all outlay Of time and money.

The outdoor season of summer
recreation, which will soon begin,
will doubtless be welcomed more
heartily and enjoyed more keenly
this year than usual. People have
been imprisoned SO long within
stove-heated apartments and winter
clothing by the tardy approach Of
genial airs and skies, that the open
ing of the season for summer scat
tering will resemble, We fancy, in
many respects, the letting loose of
a lot Of children from school. There
will be a general exodus to noun
tain-tops, sea-shores, inland lakes
and rural retreats; and as we see
and hear Of the same, we feel an in
voluntary impulse to dash down
pencil and paper and join the recre-
ating waltz. But, alas. we can
write better than we can afford to
roam

THE Dodgeville Chronicle taps
the nail squarely on the head in
saying; "The first meeting of the
Mineral Point Driving Park Asso-
citation on July 4th and 5th, is a
pleasant event of the summer which
from present very encouraging in
dications bids fair to be a perfect
success, and that its business will
be intelligently and ably conducted
is assured by the fact that Mr.. c..
Spensley and Mr., McIlhon, two Of
Mineral Points best and prominent
citizens, are its chief officers. We
would acknowledge the receipt of a
neat complimentary to the meeting,
for which the association has our
thanks"

LUMBER.-To call attention to the
advertisement of Messrs. Loyeioy u
Richards, of Dodgeyille, is scarcely
necessary as the prominence of the
same is bound to attract the eye of
every reader. That they are enter
prising men all must admit when it
becomes known that they are run
ming eight large lumber yards in
this state and are interested in pine
lands, thus giving them advantages
in buying that no other lumber firm
in this section has.

day evening was well attended con
sidering the threatening elements at
the time for assembling AS each
individual taking part is so well
known to all of us, it's unnecessary
to make personal mention, suffice it
to say we all possess an uncommon
sense of pride in the musical pro
ficiency of our little city, and can
boast of having as fine vocal and
instrumental talent as any place Of
like size in the country. OF the
band, it's but just to remark that
they are progressing exceedingly
well and are entitled to the hearty
support and admiration of every
citizen.

JUST AS WE PREDICTED.
Put This in Your Pipe and
Smoke 1t.

Yesterday a card appeared to public gaze stat
ing that a special meeting of the State Board
was called for the purpose of awarding certain
exhibitors at our late State Fair a premium.
This is the same old and 6, and we brand it
as a deception and wholly false. The WHEN
speaks from the State Board records, as there
was NO special meeting called during the State
Fair TO consider or award any display or exhibit
a premium. In the first place, there was no pre-
MUM offered or the class of goods even men
toned in the premium list on which red rib
bon is claimed. Put this in your pipe and smoke
it. The party claiming a first premium is not
known or even named on the books Of the State
Board as competing for "a premium, and yet they
would have the people of this vicinity think
they took first premium. Put this in your pipe
and smoke it. The WHEN knows what they are
talking, and would say, If there should be
one stray mortal who believes that such a pre-
MUM was awarded we refer that individual to
the books of the State Board of Agriculture.
Seeing is believing.

ARMY Recruits Under Ape.

CHICAGO, Oct 3.-Judge Blodget in the
United States district court to-day, gave a
decision of importance affecting enlistment
in the United States army Willard O.
Deming enlisted in the army service and four
days after doing so deserted, but was appre-
hended. He came into court on a writ of
ha beas corpus The Acknowledgement made
return that Deming being a soldier
he should be tried by court
martial, The court decided that
the enlistment of Deming was in the
nature of a civil contract, and, being minor,
he could not be legally bound by such con-
tract, such cases being specially provided for
of which this was not one. The Adiutant-
general suggested that the enlistment act of
Feb. 49, 1862, ordered that when enlisted re-
cruit swore he was twenty-one years of age
he could not set up his real age as a bar to
punishment The court held that act to be
imperative, as it conficted with the muster
act of 1872. The prisoner was discharged.

COlOnists in Russia Charged with Instigatin g
Anti-Jewish Riots.
WARSAW October 3.-The police of this
city accuse the German coonists, of whom
there are large number here, of fomenting
trouble between the Russians and Poles, and
instigating anti-Jewish riots. They allege
that the numerous collisions between Rus
SLAMS and Jews, which have recently occurred
here, have been directly traceable to the in
trigues of German colonists, and express
themselves powerless to subdue the existing
tendency to outbreak unless they can be
authorized to make wholesale arrests of those
suspected of making these disturbances. The
German vice-consul here denies that the
German residents have in any way been con-
nected with the anti-Jew1sh troubles, and
says that that portion of Warsaw occupied
by German colonists is by far the most or
derly quarter in the city.
The Catholics of Lublin, a province of
Russian Poland, incensed by their treatment
at the hands of the church dignitaries, whose
exactions have become unbearable have de-
clared their intention to renounce their al
legiancs to the Greek Church, of which the
Gar is the visible head, and have signified
their wish to become Protestants. They
have petitioned Prince Bismarck to protect
them against Russian tyranny and oppres-
sion, not only such as they are now subjected
to, but from the additional hardship and in
justice which their alliance with the Protest
ant church will bring upon them.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3-In deciding the land
case of Daniel Hayes VS.. Holton Parker and
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company the
Secretary of the Interior holds that there
can be but one legislative withdrawal under
a map of general route. When, therefore,
several trial lines, treated as such by the
company, have been made before a general
route is finally fixed and determined, a
withdrawal made under such trial lines will
be regarded as an executive withdrawal En-
tries made in good faith upon odd sections
before notice of withdrawal under such trial
lines was received at the local office will be
sustained, and lands covered by such entries
will be held to be excepted from the grant.

THE PEABODY FUND.
The Amounts Distributed for Educational
Purposes in the South.

New YORK, Oct 3.-The trustees of the
of George Peabody Roussell was accepted,
and DR.. Samuel A. Greene, of Boston, was
chosen in his place. General Agent Curry
submitted his annual report 1t is stated
that the work entrusted to him had been
progressing successfully in the past year.
He had visited nearly all the Southern States,
and by request addressed the Legislatures
of North Carolina Florida, Alabama, Ten
nesses and Arkansas. Systematic agencies
for creating and keeping in exercise a
healthy sentiment on education will be
needed for years to come. He thought
much aid had been received in the work
from the State superintendent of education
and frnsF 80 bureau of Educa ton at Wash
--iagton. Under the peculiar condition of the
States which are the sole beneficiaries
of the fund, industrial schooling is a neces-
sity. Frequent changes of school officers,
superntendents and others connected with
administrative functions, is pronounced ex-
tremely hurtful to the progress of education,
and especially so when produced by political
causes Discrimination of races in the dis
bursement of the school funds is pro-
nounced unwise and the confinement
of the schools revenue pro rata to
to the race paying taxes, is claimed to be a
measure originating in narrow prejudice or
one adopted in punishment for certain al
legged political ofenses. Public education at
public cost, he says, has its best defense in
the obligation to preserve the national life,
and partition of revenues according to
race standard repudiates the idea that educa-
ton is common burden for the
general good. The Peabody institutes
for teachers, five in all, were
very successful, as was, also, one for colored
teachers, and the work in general is progress
ing favorably. The following are the amounts
distributed in the several States the past
year: Alabama, 1878; Arkansas, $4,05O;
Florida, $2925; Georgia, So 900; Louisiana,
81 1875; Mississippi, 81, 400; North Carolina,

One Spaniard Satisfied.

LONDON, Oct. "a Paris correspondent of
the Times states that Marquis de la
Vega de Armijo, Spanish Minister
of Foreign Affairs, in referring to the
scene in Paris during the visit OF
Alfonso, said the wrong then committed
was so indefensible that he felt sure that
ample reparaton would be rendered by the
French government, and he had advised the
King not to hurry his departure. The Mar
quis also said 1--WE were determined to pre-
vent any internal difficulties occurring in
France, general confagration on our ac-
count. A representative in Paris of one of
the great powers called on me especially to
state that the Kings prudence and dignity
under trying circumstances had rendered a
service to the whole of Europe" The Mar
quis further said, I'VE are perfectly satis-
fled of the good faith of Ferry"

Doubt to Whether the Legal-Tender Case
Win Be Argued Next Week.


WASHINGTON Oct. 3.-There is still much
doubt whether the legal-tender case will be
argued in the United States Supreme Court
when it is reached on Tuesday next. No
briefs in the case have yet been filed in the
clerks Office as the rules of the court re-
quire and nothing has been heard from
counsel in reply to the usual notification.
1t is probable, therefore, when the case is
reached counsel will move that it be assigned
for some future day, which may be agreed
upon. The delay in bringing this question
to adjudication seems to have been due in
great part, to the unwillingness or inability
of General Butler to fix a day for argument.
Senator Edmunds made several attempts last
term to have the case definitely assigned,
but he was unable to report an agreement
with the counsel on the other side as TO the
date of assignment, and the court was not
willing to arbitrarily appoint day and COM

"Shakspeare's Home" proposed that the re-
mains OF Shakespeare should be exhumed, in

many conflicting portraits of the poet in ex-
istence The proposition received the en-
dorsement of Rev. G. Arbuthnot, vicar of
this place. Upon reference to the terms of
sepulture, however, it was ascertained that
the remains could not be exhumed or dis
turbed without the consent of the mayor and
officers of the city corporation. The mayor
refused assent. and the matter has now been
finally settled by tine city council, which
