The Objectionable Coin.

1t is gratifying to find that quite
number of merchants are still willing
to take .he Trade dollars at full value in
exchange for goods This will be q
great relief to our workingmen who
were paid off last week in Trade dol
lars and who are all the time needing
-four, groceries, fuel and dry. goods.
The gamblers and spectators will
soon grow tired of hoar ling their ill-got-
ten treasure and will put the coin in
circulation again, and this will put an
end to the furry. Our citizens can pro-
tect themselves in great measure from

they will become their own bankers

not dollar there would be some excuse
for rejecting them. But we are in
formed that they are worth really eight
cents more than the regulation Bland
dollar. The thugs who are giving
only eighty-fve cents on the dollar for
them then expect to make twenty.three
cents profit, taking the Bland dollar as
the standard. They won't make that
much if the people are wise. Let those
who have a number of these dollars
keep them moving. Ifthey want shoes,
dry goods, groceries, flour or fuel, let
them give their Grades" for them
and let the merchants also keep them
going too. If merchants with whom
they have been dealing will not accept
them, let them go and deal with mer-
chants who will. BY this means the
difficulty, which, of cour rse, will cause
more or less annoyance, will be bridged
over and all will come gradua'l ly right
again. As soon as Congress meets,
united effort should be made TO have

Practically the lids were not open
until the year 1858, when Commodore
Perry, reached the shore Of Japan,
armed by 8 letter from the President
Of the United States, succeeded in
concluding treaty by means of which
her ports were thrown open to sll the
world. 1t is true, however, that the
Dutch had possession Of q small island
near Nagasaki two hundred years pre-
viously; but other people we're none
the wiser in consequence of that settle
ment
To an Eugl;sh ambasssdo-, Sir
Rutherford Alcock, may be given the
credit of the 6rst large expectation Of
Japanese curiosities. His magnificent
collection in the English Exposition Of
1862, awakened general surprise. just
as the similar department OF the exhi-
biton of 1876, in Philadelphia, aroused
here novel interest in the bizarre vel
attractive work of the Mongolian race

Japanese Art,

The amateur decorator who make
few unmeaning strokes upon the pan
ell or embroiders them upon satin, an6
straightway says. "Behold! my handy
work is japanese art is always inter
ested in examining the history OF that
curious workmanship which has of late
gained such hold upon popular favor.
The philosophy of art endeavors to
penetrate the causes of the idiosyncra-
sizes Of the Japanese, and to learn not
only the conditions but the governing
motives of their pictorial representa-
tions. For every nation has its own
perceptions of beauty and its own ideal,
towards which its linners work.
Japan, the land of wonder and ro-
nance, has been until lately, like a
sealed book to the outer world. Its
curiously- devised covers were all that
foreigners were allowed to see, and
curiousity was sorely tempted to turn
the leaves with such cabalistic
signs to learn something Of its customs,
scenery and art.

Whitewa shing Trees.

AS we ride through the country we
occasionly see ORCHARDS where the
trunks and larger limbs of the trees
have been covered with a thick cover.
ing of whitewash, but this practice is
being gradually abandoned, The more
intelligent the farmer becomes the net
ter he understands that the growth of
vegetation is retarded, and its health
injured by any covering which shall in
any degree prevent a free circulation
of air. While it may be sometimes
advisable to wash the trunks and lar
ger limbs of trees for the removal of
insects, the work should be of a clean
surface. Whenever the surface is
covered with any substance that re-
mains on the tree, it does more or less
injury, because it is not natural to
have the air shut out from the bark of
the tree. We never pass an orchard
that has been we'll whltewashed with
out feeling that the owner has made a
mistake, ii he has any idea that he has
either improved the appearance or the
condition of his trees. AS to appear
ance, it does not improve it to the eye
of an experienced orchardist any more
than it would improve the appearance
of drove of hogs to a stock grower
by whitewashing them; and as to max.
ing the trees grow better it is mis-
take. But it is claimed that it kills
many insects; no doubt it may some,
vet the number of insects on the trunk
of tree in the spring is rot large; the
few that are on the tree can be killed
much easier by washing with strong
soap suds, which if washed off inme-
diately with clean water will do no
harm. In washing young trees with
soap suds, unless it is washe1 off, 1t
may sometimes be so strong as to
change the color of the bark. When
potash is used instead of soap, there is
always danger of getting 1t too strong
unless at once washed off with water.
Whatever wash is to be used that is
strong enough to kill insects, should
be washed off at once, with water
about the same temperature as is the
atmosphere.
The idea that the trunk and the lar
ger limbs OF tree should be covered
with anything which in the least inter
feres with the free circulation of air
should be abandoned. The orchardist
who has to resort to this practice to
keep the insects off, has much yet to
learn. -Moss. Plovghman.

A Memory of a Morning Ride

Under gray dusk softening with Dawn's white
We, leaving the drowsily-wAling town,
Began the ascent OF the sloping bluns
Which rolled their stairiike circles higher
Thus in fair forms amphitheatral,
Seeming Coliseum Of the Gods
We to the north watched the slow coming day
From the southward-For twas September
time
And white, jeweled mantle lay DER all
The bleaching fields and tingeing forest-ltnes-
The skys clear arch became a grand reflex,
Which caught thousand shifting hues as one,
And flashed them DER the curling, foam-like
wreaths
That, Floating, rose from ev'ry cleft and glen.
As the far East grew deep, and golden names
Sped their deep messengers adown the helgnts,
The vale beneath, and It's wlde-gieaming PIT,
Filled with waving clouds Of incense light
Methought that unseen deities Of Earth
Were sending praises forth from rocky caves;
That on the affairs hewn by Nature hands,
Were kindled fires invisible full oft,
And happy spirits of the dreaming lakes
And forest-realms rode Heavenward at morn.
Tn the last. long tier, meath the crowding oaks
Whose low-hung boughs made close the narrow
way,
And showered a chilly spray of scintillant frost
Against our faces ut each sudden Drush;
Then forth again to cross a sun-streamed path; (;
By log-but cottages, whose childish forms
Rushed out to gaze, as ruddy as the dawn;
'Twixt roadsides rich with scent of winter
green,
And meadows whose soft, mossy depths were
filled
With dusky berries when fierce August suns
Glowed down upon the leagues of waving
brakes;
Passing deserted cabins, oveYgrown:
Startling many furry. skipping form
And dark-winged creature from sequestered
perch.
Beyond the last, the road by which we came
Showed but a brief way; and the Day smiled
down
perfect welcome to its Eden fair
Cloud-mists of Earth's aroma vanished swift;
Only web, sea-tinted, swathed the hills,
And dropped its thicker folds within Their
curves.
From hight to hight, we for moment viewed
Each spire, each crest, each glistening river
link,
And ev'ry tone of earth and leaf, and sky,
Together as a grandly nodded whole;
Then, with fadeless impress which one hand
Alone may e'er erase, the scene we lost;
And from this valley of fair valleys, DER
The plain, through the pine forests, rode away

durability.
These watches are all open face. The bezel, into
which an extra strong crystal is fitted with an es
pecialy prepared waterproof cement, is attachedtc
the case by screwing it thereon, and thus forms an
ar-tight junction with the body of the case, thus
is proof against dust and moisture.
To railroad men, travellers, miners, lumber-men
and others who are almost constantly exposed and
who have to make frequent reference to the watch,
these qualities are of the utmost importance.

THE FOLLOWING LETTERS TELL THEIR
OWN STORY.

VALDosrA, Georgia, July %, 1882
II sold one of your Patent Dust Proof Cases about
ten months ago, and the other day it came back to
me with the request to make it wind easier. On ex'
animation found that the stem was rusty, and
inquired into the cause of 1t. The gentemanstated
to me that he was starting some saw-logs that had
lodged in the bend of the river, when his chain
caught in bush and threw his watch into about
twelve feet of water and he was about two hours
finding it. When he got it out it was running and
he thought all right. In about three months he
found that the stem was hard to turn and sent it to
me.
