Salyini S Lament.

menting his miserable life-half the
time on the verge of desperation. In q
foreign country, unable TO understand
our language, or our manners (''even
in crowds l m still alone" }, never hear
inc his own beautiful language. is it any
wonder that he chafes and frets to get
back to fair Halya He has large for
tune. one of the finest castles in the
country and the graves of two young
wives. This, he says, is to be his last
season. He will go back to Italy and
his princely home, and no doubt he
thinks he will settle down to the repose
and enjoyment ofprivate life. Does the
reader who knows the walks and ways
of actors believe that we have seen the
last of Salvini? BY no means dare we.

EYarvhndv can Graft.

Grating is not monopoly of gifted
minds, or an art that can only be ac-
quired by the few. With the ordinary
amount of ''gumption' to begin with,
followed by careful teaching for only a
short time, almost any one can graft
successfully. Grating is simply plant
ing cutting of one variety in the wood
of another. instead of in the soil. 1t is
essential that the growing layer of the
scion and stock come in close contact,
and be so held until they grow together,
Now Is the time to get the scions. They
may be bought at most nurseries, and
great care should be taken to get only
the best varieties. Ii cut at home, be
equally careful to get them of the right
kind, cutting only twigs of last season 5
growth. fine saw, two good knives,
one strong and heavy. the other small
er, with keen edge; a hardwood
wedge, six inches long and half an inch
thick; and small mallet are the imple-
ments used in grating. The wax may
be easily made by melting together,
bees-wax six ounces, rosin and tallow
four ounces each, over a moderate fire,
stirring gradually until all is melted
Rolls of waxed cloth may be formed
from old cotton stuff made thin by wear
and torn into strips two inches wide.-
Wind the strips upon stick and dip
them into the melted wax; when the
cloth is thoroughly penetrated by the
wax, remove, let drip. and put away
from dust until ready for use.
Grating should be done as soon as
the buds begin to swell Having de
tcrmined upon the place for the graft,
saw off the branch, smooth the cut sur
face and make cleft with the knife and
lnaliet. Cat the scion from the twig,
leaving two or three buds upon the
piece. and sharpen the lower end into a
wedge. Open the cleft With the knife
and place the scion in carefully, so that
the lower bud comes ut the top of the
cleft. The inner bark. or growing lay
er of the scion and the stock should
touch as much as possible. Ii the graft
ed branch is small. n single scion is
enough otherwise, put in one on each
side. Unroll enough waxed cloth to
cover the wound of both stocks and sci
ons, and press it on carefully and close
ly. The quick application of this pro-
lection is only matter of practice. 1t
is well for beginners To start with worth
less limbs before doing regular grating
in the orchard. If possible find some
one in the neighborhood familiar with
the process and learn the art from him.
The general principles may be obtained
from printed directions, but the success
of the work will depend upon the knack,
and that is only acquired in the orch
ard.

Stephen's Pronhecy,


Alexander IL. Stephens was deVout
Presbyterian, and there was just touch
of Scotch superstition in his blood.
which made him believer in omens.
He used To tell of this strange incident
connected with his departure from
Washington, March 6, 1859. As the
steamer was going down the Potomac
he looked back and while gazing on the
receding dome of the Capitol, some
friends. who saw his meditative mood,
approached and said, You must be
looking up there and thinking of your
reelection to Congress?" In reply to
this he said, No, | am taking a last
look nj that dome, for [ never expect to
see it or be in Washington again until |
come rs prisoner of war" The
steamer sped down the stream, and
the shadows of night had hidden the
dome of the Capitol from his view.
When next he visited Washington and
gazed on that dome he was, indeed. a
paroled prisoner of war who had Just
been released from Fort Warren. Bos>

The Lesson Of the Floods.

The Hoods in the Ohio, which did
such damage to the whole valley and
destroyed SO much property 1T Cimcin
natl and Louisville, emphasize the fact
more than once adverted to in these
columns, that the nation should not on
ly put stop to the waste of forests, but
should take Immediate measures to re-
plant with trees the ground bordering
on the headwaters of all our great
streams. The spring floods and the
summer droughts are, it is now well
known, almost entirely due to the de-
struction of the forests on the borders
of streams, and in the hill countries in
which our famous rivers take their rise.
Every year we now have disastrous
floods either on the sea coast or the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys, The in
dividual States affected cannot attend
to this matter. 1t must be done by the
nation, or not at all. Not only proper
ty but life is often destroyed by these
floods Had the Ohio risen few feet
higher, both Cincinnati and Louisville
would have been practically destroyed.
The ancient Egyptians built gigantic
works to prevent disastrous inunda-
tons from the rising of the Nile. Arti-
fetal lakes and reservoirs were con
structed so that the water could be
drawn off. and the land saved from de-
struction by the rising floods. 1t would
be economy to spend 800, 0,000,000 in
improving our internal waterways, but
Congressman are timid about appropri-
ating money in view of the odium heap
ed upon them by the press in connec-
ton with the last River and Harbor Bill.
We have not only the largest seacoast
in the world, but our internal water
ways are the most extensive on the
globe. In spite of the clamors of the
press. the nation win be forced to build
the necessary levees and provide the
dams and reservoirs which viii prevent
excessive flooding until such time as the
newly planted forests shall be grown,
which will put stop to both floods and
drOughts. - From DemoreSt's MOnthtp
