Few matters deserve more care than
the selection of help to sight, because
if the glasses are not scientifically cor

prismatic rays common to the glasses

and consequently do not tire the eye,
but produce a clear and distinct vision

lasting qualities being such, that fire.
quent change is unnecessary. With q
view of adjusting the lenses to the re-

measured by a new system, which en-

which has by experience proved the
most unerring guide.
1t is now clearly proved that by the
use Of scientifically manufactured
spectacles, impaired sight may to some
extent be restored and in all cases de.

as is well known the ordinary specta-

REPORT OP ooSlrFTEE ON PEACHES.
Peaches, Selection Of Sol and Treatment Of {
Young Orchard.

Young Orchard.
The idea generally prevails, that from light
sandy soil the best results can be realized from
peach orchard that if good healthy trees were
planted in such a soil you might expect, high
'colored fruit and quantity Of peaches; health
and longevity Of trees not taken into cOnSdeTa-
tion, Now, in our opinion, nine tenths Of the
orchards set in such soil do not make a stand.
The e generally attributed to poor trees, disease
insects, rain, frost, or drought. We think, an
orchard planted on good soil and properly at
tended to will receive very little injury from the
above causes We want a rolling plot Of good
clay loam that has proper drainage by an open
SubsOil has been cropped with the use of lime
and manure, or a heavy clover sod turned under.
Pulverize the ground thoroughly, then plant the
trees deep and you invariably get good stand.
The louise, the greatest enemy to young peach
trees, will attact and destroy the weakest, which
they find on sandy land. All diseases (that the
peach tree is subject TOY will affect the weak
trees most, therefore the necessity Of having
strong trees. For three years you must manure
heavy and lime. The manure should be coarse
SO that the soil will be loose and SO give the
young roots a chance to spread, and helptO keep
the roots moist. and so that there will be no dan
ger OF the soil packing or baking, so that the
roots will be confined to a small space around
the tree. For the above reason we would not
advise the use Of phOsphates on young orchards. |
They have a tendency to harden orpack soil and
make . smooth surface, which should be avoided. /
II possible, crop three years with vegetables, or
root crops tomatoes being the best crop ITO grow
10 young orchards, by manuring heavy each
time If wanting 70 grow grain crops, plant in
torn hrst and sow wheat in the fall for the See-
ond year. and follow with clover tor the third
year, cultivating the tree rows and four feet on
both sides, each year during the growing season.
II the clover makes a good stand and is heavy
when in blossom, turn under and cultivate thor
oughly until fall An orchard, young or old,
should never be plowed, narrowed or cultivated
when wet. A good farmer will not enter a corn
Geld when wet neither will he enter peach
orchard, under these conditions, for cultivation
II the above modes be followed on good clay
loan soil,,we willventure TO say you will have
regular, first.elass orchard one that can stand
blasts Of hard winter, the summer storm, frost
and drought. One upon which insects will have
no effect that the monster disease, the "yellows,"
win not destroy an orchard with its longevity
insured, which, if properly cared for, will bear
good in old age and from which you can expectl
regular succession Of crops.

@. G. BROWE,

Bro. ]. G. Brown did not fully understand
what the committee meant by "clay loan" as
being the best kind OF soil in which to plant a
peach orchard to insure success. If they mean
rolling upland, in good heart be might endorse
what they say, but if they meant heavy. .bottom
lands, be could not agree with them. Il was an
established fact, that could not be contradicied,
that the section Of country lying between Dover
and Milford was the best soil for peach orchards,
10 existance, and he well remembered that when
Just coming 70 the State about fifteen years ago,
ind travelling thorugh this section, it was so
sandy that it lay In drifts along the roadside and
yet, as before stated this same soil, was the best
adapted 10 the wants Of the peach, Of any upon
the peninsula. The Yigorous thrifty orchards,
the large and successive crops. and the very su-
peEior quality Of the fruit grown in this section
vas sufficient proof that sandy loan in good cul-
tivations was the land to choose when setting a
peach orchard, He endorsed what was said in
reference to cultivation, too. much of that could
not be done.
The chairman Of committee said, the commit.
tee does not mean by. "ciay loam, low, heavy, |
vet land, bnt good heavy loan instead Of the
fandiest hillside that could be found upon the /
farm. as this was generally the place selected,
BY the man who intended setting a peach or
chard. This was the cause Of so many broken
orchards. The soil was so poor that the trees
could not get started, and 80 this was one Of the
essentials iu growing peaches successfully to
have no trees missing and to have them strong
and healthy, and as this could not be done on
poor land the committee advised "clsy loan" as
Ibe kind Of soil on which to plant.
Bro. slaymaker preferred taking hilloek Of
land to a clay loan, in making a successful start
oWard growiDga Peech orchard. True, this soil
yil be very poor on account Of certain parts Of
that are the most souable washing down. yet {

Especial Telegram to the Globe.1


MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 2.-Senator P. II.
Rahilly was in the city last night as the
guest of Mayor Ames. A GLOBE repre-
sentative was accorded an interview, and
the senator expressed his pleasure OF meet
ing GLOBE man, saying he reads that re-
liable paper every day. Being asked what
were the prospects for Biermann's cleo
tion the senator answered that there was
no question Whatever of his being elected
by handsome majority. Wherever he
had been be found the Scandinavians en-
thusiastic for Biermann, and in no instance
did he find single Irishman who will not
vote the entire Democratic
ticket. He had made a
personal canvass himself for his friend,
Adolf Biermann, through four counties
and visited every township of them, and he
wus satisfied if the Scandinavians did only
half they promised, the election of Mr..
Biermann was assured"
"What influence has G. McCarthy's let
ters on the Irish people throughout the
state?' asked the reporter.
None whatever. The captain is q
chronic malcontent. He opposed Cox and
Wilson several years ago, and people
are not now surprised at his conduct in
this campaign. We Irish people have prin-
ciples to which they adhered during the
adverse days of the Democracy,
and now on the eve of
Democratic victory throughout the land,
they are not going to yield up the prin-
ciples they hold SO dear. The day is near
at hand when Minnesota Will be a Demo
cratic state and the election of Biermaun
Tuesday next will usher in that happy
day"
The senator said this was the first night
in twenty eight years he had spent in
Minneapolis, and after q cordial hand
shaking he bade the reporter goodnight.

Clearing the Sidewalks.


The mayor addressed the following let
ter to Chief Berry last evening:
To Chief Berry: wish you to instruct
your force to aotify all persons who are
violating the ordinance against obstructing
sidewalks that the same will be enforced
rigidly. You will sss that the Wholesale
and commission merchants are given all
the facilities requisite for handling their
goods, but the practice of putting goods
out beyond the three feet limit in the
morning, and taking the same in at night
will hereafter be considered violation of
the ordinance. You will also see that the
merchants and other business men
are allowed three feet space in front of
their places OF business upon which they
may display their goods and wares. The
tendency toward using more space must
be checked or the sidewalk videned. You
will also instruct your day force to notify
property owners of defective sidewalks
| and order the same to be placed in safe
! condition forthwith; also have removed
from ali pablJc alleys dry goods boxes ard
| other distractions. and forbid the deposit
ing of ashes and other refuse in them. Let
| these regulations and laws be courteously
but rigidly enforced.

IN "AMERIcAN HOUSE, EPISODE.

A Dakotian in Civil Action to Recove,
$495 Taken From HIS Belt on the Night
OF March 1S, From Ex-Landlora Wilson
He Claims to Have Been Assigned to an
Insecure Room and Drugged and Robbed
in This Now Defunct HostsIry.
Quite an interesting suit was on trial in
the district court yesterday, it being that
of M. D. Smith VS.. Thorkiel Wilson, late
proprietor of the late American house, to
recover $495 of which the plaintiff claims
to have been robbed in room 81, in this
house on the 18th of March last.
The facts as brought out in the case we're
that Smith arrived from the east at the
union depot, perfect stranger, on the day
in question, and was induced by the at
taches of the American house at the depot,
to take their bus and stop at 1.-THE finest
hotel in the city at 81 day." He was
carried thither, ATE his supper, sat round
without drinking or talking to
any one in the Office until
8 o'clock p. m, when a ten year old boy
showed him up to bed and placed him in a
room with small bolt on the inside, with
hole in the room door.He thought things
were not just right, but supposing the
character of the house to be beyond suspi-
cion he retired to bed, and did not wake
up until a. M, March 10. On awakening
he found that the pouch in belt in which
he carried about his person $495, had been
ripped open and the money extracted
therefrom, while he felt as though he had
been drugged and could eat no breakfast,
and on making his loss known to Wilson
he snapped his fingers in his face.
1t did hot appear that he made great
complaint about his loss, but went to work
in the city to get money to pay his hotel
bill and get his trunk from the house,
after which he filed this suit and went on
to Dakota, and he returned from there to
prosecute the present trial. His
counsel yesterday, after the pre-
ceding facts had been brought
out proceeded to show that this house was
frequented by persons of bad repute at the
landlords knowledge, and bore a most un-
sevory character, dwelling especially upon
the point that the page OF the hotel regis
ter for March 18th, though produced, had
the page torn off and absent, showing who
was assigned to rooms lin the vicinity OF
the plaintiff on the night in question, and
held that q landlord in O hotel was a Gus
todian of his guest, and could not occupy
the position of making honest men pay
board and make his house roost for rob
bers to steal stranger guests money.
The defense sought to prove tie negli
gence of Smith in not placing his money
in the iron safe provided at this hotel, OIL
to heed the notices which were posted NJ
according to law to this effect, in thit
house, as also in not complaining of the
insecurity of his room and his disapproba
ton of his quarters.
After very succinct charge, in which
he clearly stated the law as now in fore,
in relation to the duties of landlords Il
their guests in regard to safes, locks and
bolts, ETC., Judge Wilkin gave the case t.
| the jury with instructions if they should
agree to bring IN sealed verdict, which
| they did about o'clock in the evening
and which will be made public this morn
| ing.

er, especially an Irishman, or a Catholic
to be caught out of his house at night. and
as for the son of an Irish Catholic to an
ply for a position to learn a trade in any
manufacturing establishment in Massa-
chusetts, it WAS simply absurd. This was
in '55 and '56. In '6l, when an Irish com
pany from Lyon, Mass, offered their SER
v1cesto the governor of the state it was
very politely refused with the admonition
that we Americans can whip these rebels
IN talrty days. But it rec uired the bone
and -sinew of foreign-born Americans. Yes,
men who were scarcely landed on Ameri-
can soil, when they swore before their God
TO be true and loyal to the land of their
adoption. How well they have kept that
sacred pledge has been fully attested on
many battle field since.
1t is only to-day that notice the trans
fer of Lieut.. Gen. sheridan to the command
of the United States forces. What
changes time will produce. All going
forth to show to the world that we are
free and happy people again.
Now, then, in the coming election let US
not lend our ear to any whitewashed poll
tician, but go straight forward as men de-
termined to go right, and cast your ballot
for the peoples man. Not for man who
is disgracing his position by sending let
tiers begging of his friends to elect him
once more. It is humiliating for even the
governor of a state to stoop so low to be
retained in Office. If he has served the peo-
pie of the state including his personal
friends faithfully and true, that is all that
is necessary. Let honesty receive its re-
ward. And let Us test the Hon. A. Bier
mann for the next two years and see how
much honesty there is IN him. It is true
am an Irish Democrat and the Irish never
abaudon their political faith. It is as dear
to them as their religion.
Mr.. Editor, understand there are some
of the irish capitalists of st. Paul strongly
IN favor of Hubbard's election. Now, Ger
talnly, there must be some cause for this
outbreaking, best known to their own po-
htical interests, Ind it would be very fool
lsh to disturb tho "A in their quietude, for
as ths good book says, where the treasure
is the heart is there also. And if they have
any political fish to fry, you cannot blame
them. But let them be careful to not fry
any other ones fish on the same pan.
No, Mr. Editor, in all honor and sincerity,
l would like to have both native and for
eign born citizens come forward on the
day of election and lay their humble offer
ing at the feet of man, who, if elected to
that high and honorable position, will not
only reflect credit and honor on the posi-
ton, but on himself and the state at large.
And when you hear the glad tidings com
ing from all parts of the state your heart
will beat with Joy for the good
work done. can assure you
Lanesboro is booming. 1t is nothing
but Biermann. Even the children in the
streets have learned the name to perfec-
tion. May cyclone of peace and har-
mony seat him, if not as governor, may it
seat him Is before, a true, sincere and
an honest man, in the hearts of all good
citizens of the at ate.
