FRUIT GARDEN AND ORCHARD.-Apples
and pears should be carefully gathered by
hand and bruising avoided. Send only the
best and well assorted to market. Aim to
make demand for your brand by honest
packing. Use up surplus apples for cider.
Finish preparations for planting trees, which
in some seasons may be done this month,
particularly if trees are received from the
North. Do not put manure in the holes in
contact with the roots of the trees, but
spread it all ON the surface of the SOIL
Peach trees for planting should be but one
years growth from the bud. Pear, apple,
and other trees, two to four years old. The
last OF the month is very good time for
planting blackberry and raspberry canes,
but it is now too late for strawberry plant
| ing. Remove the ties from buds that have
taken. Grow all fruit trees with low heads.
AS soon as the leaves are killed ON the fig
trees bend the branches to tho ground, in
four directions, in the form of a cross, and
peg them fast to the ground. When severe
freezing threatens cover them with a foot
of soil, beating it smoothly to shut off the
rain. This earthing should be delayed if
possible until middle of November.

THE WORLDS GRANDMoTHER.-Eve had
a pretty good time of it, taking all things
into consideration.
Eve never had occasion to weep because
there was not one day in the week clear
enough to hang the washing out.
Eve never found an empty envelope in
Adams coat pocket directed to Adam in a
| feminine hand and postmarked "Chicago."
| Eve never had to smell Adam breath at
midnight's holy hour to learn if he was
still steadfastly keeping his New Years res
olution.
Eve never found coffee grain in the
pocket of Adams Sunday vest and had to
wonder all the rest of the day why he car
ried coffee about with him.
Eve never had to cut up the fire wood
while Adam was down at the grocery store
telling the congregation what wonderful
man his grandfather was in heavy timber
at a chopping.
Eve never had to sit up till o'clock in
the morning for Adam, and then have him
come in with the top out of his hat patch
patch of skin off his nose and his neckbow
under his left ear.-MiddLetorcn transcript.

TFor the SPECTAToR.7

BRowNsBURG, september 30th, 1884.
The Sunday school celebration at New
Providence came off in fine style. There
were present, rank and file, about 400 per-
sons. Rev. Schreckhise, of the Lutheran
church, delivered very appropriate ad-
dress; also Rev. Mr.. Whitmore, of the
German Reformed. Both addresses were
good and delivered in happy style. The
dinner was excellent. The ladies of Old
Providence can only be equaled by those of
New Providence, and as one of the SPEC
TAToR's staff was present at Old Provi-
dence, it is needless to say much about tho
dinner at New Providence-only this, it
could not be beat. At the close of the ex-
ercises the children sang Goodbye" with
very great effect. How many of these
dear ones will thus meet again in the clos
ing exercises of another year? If any are
called by the Master of the great feast
above, may they sing the ''new song" as
they roam the ''sweet fields of Eden"

DIED AT PRAYER.-William Carroll, aged
about thirty dropped dead of
heart disease about $50 last evening,
while attending religious services at Lin
coin Mission church. corner of Fourteenth
and G street southeast. Thinking Carroll
overcome by the heat, the church being
densely crowded, Drs. Cleary and Beatty
were summoned, but upon their arrival
these gentleman pronounced him dead.
The perfect silence which reigned over the
congregation while the doctors were exam
lining Carroll was, upon the announcement
of his death, followed by an indescribable
scene. Two-thirds of the women present
set up the most piercing screams, some
tainted and had to be carried out, while
others more appropriately indulged in
prayer. With some difficulty the church
was at length cleared and the police sum-
moned. - Washinqton Critic.

Two Dangerous Seasons.

Spring and fall are times when so many
people get sick. The changes in the wealth
er are severe on feeble persons, and even
those naturally strong are apt, as they say,
''to be feeling miserable" Then they are
Just in condition to be struck down with
some kind of fever. A bottle or two of
Parlker's Tonic will invigorate the diges-
ton, put the liver, kidneys and blood in

so simple q medicine will save you? Good

How LABOR is PROTECTED UNDER THE
PRESENT TARIFF.-How labor is protected
under the present tariff is shown by the
following facts mentioned by Hon. Geo. D.
Wise in his speech in Manchester last Fri
day night a week.
ssThere are two kinds of protection" the
speaker said; cone which protects capital
and the other which protects labor. Let
me ask the workingmen Of this town what
is the present condition of this county,
Mr.. Blaine says we are prosperous. Is that
so? To-day, fellow citizens, in the United
States Q want you iron men to hear it)
one half of the iron furnaces are closed
When Blaine was devoting himself to the
Fisher letters he was too happy to hear the
cry of the poor working men who were out
of employment during he whole winter.
RESULT OF REPUBLICAN, RULE.
sIn the State of Pennsylvania several
hundred mechanics struck for higher wages.
What do you think their wages were? A
voice, twenty-five cents. Sixty cents a
day. Two hundred pauper laborers were
imported from Europe to take the place of
the striking workingmen at Centre. Who
did that? Hartranft, the Republican Gov
eInOI, dllu CdHciou, tnO piOoOHV pChouol
from Pennsylvania.
"Two hundred workingmen striking be-
cause they could get only sixty cents day
from protected industries, and you are told
that this tariff is framed in the interest of
the poor mechanic and workingman. How
many can support their wives and children,
to say nothing of rent on sixty cents day ?
I said l would speak facts, and am telling
facts known throughout the length and
breadth of the country.
''Let us go to Ohio. James G. Blaine is
there to-day. His cause was found to be
languishing Somebody has gone to him
and told him that something must be done
to lift his trailing banner. From the
Hooking Valley, where Blaine is interested,
the cry comes from the workingmen that
that they cannot live on seventy cents a
day, and the Governor is asked to bring out
the military to
SHOOT THEM DOWN,
if they raise row, when convict labor is
brought to take their places. Here convict
labor is brought in competition with the
honest labor of the country. Are you sur
prised when I tell you that one-half Of the
labor of the country is out of employment? ?
You will be surprised when tell you that
one hundred millions of dollars of surplus
is locked up in the Treasury. You have
had financial disaster after financial disas-
ter. You have had Gen. Grant to drop
down with Ward to back him.

A WORD TO IRIsHMEN.-On Friday
night week, Hon. A. M. Kelley, of Rich
mond, made splendid speech in Wheeling,
W. Va, from the report of which we ex-
tract the following:
Then came a glowing and thrilling ac-
count Of the protection afforded by the
Democratic party to freedom of conscience
in worship, and especially how this protec-
tion was given to Irish Catholics. When
concluding, he said he had heard there
were Irish, and Irish Catholics, too, who
intended to vote for Blaine, and he doubted
his ears. How could it be? An Irish Cath
ulic vote for Blaine! "Why," said he,
"when hear of an Irish Catholic, the son
of an Irish mother, going back on the
Democratic party, that for him and his has
trailed its banner in the dust OF thousand
fields, why then know the good blood OF
that Irish mother is oozing drop by drop
from his cowardly feet" [Great and pro-
longed applause

The sage brush reporter last evening
went out to report the proceedings of the
Temperance Mass meeting-the same one
he hunted for a week ago without success
but after %plunging around through the
mud and rain for a long time, during
which he came pretty near getting hit by
the thunder three or four times and was
once chased around a corner by a clap of
lightning he succeeded in interviewing
three or four churches, but couldn't find
the meeting at all. Finally he went back
to Hollis store and took a look at the
Sun bulletin panic board, thinking that
might throw some light on the subject.
There was something there about re
stored confidence and has resumed

was no meeting and returned to the Office

WHO HE IS.
The Man Who is Being Urged III the
East for Chief Justice.

1t was announced some days ago that
Judge Bradley, of Rochester, n. Y, was
being urged for the appointment as Chief
Justice of the Territory, by parties East.
Since then the question has been asked
many times who is he?" In answer to
this question it may be said that he was
formerly a resident of Cheyenne and is a
brother Of Joe Bradley of electoral COM
mission notoriety. He resided in this
place when Wyoming was a part of Da-
kota Territory, and old timers who were
here at that time say that he was elected
to the legislature when what is now Wy
oming was a Legislative district of Dakota.
He went from here to Denver where he
was located for several years, and when
Silver Cliff started up he went there but
remained only a short time and finally
drifted back to Rochester, N. Y, where
he now resides. What his abilities as a
lawyer are, or his qualifications for the
position Of judge cannot be stated.

STRICTLY
But They are sim a Very Apt Set of

a certain contractor who recently came
to the city for the purpose of engaging in
business, brought along with him a small
force of men from some point below here,
in Colorado. These men he represented
were strictly temperate" Day before
yesterday, however, one of his men was
arrested for drunkenness, and the contrac-
tor, taking his part, had the matter
brought to the attention of Mayor Carey.
How the matter was arranged does not
clearly appear, but the man was event
ually DISCHARGED from custody. Yester-
day morning, however, the contractor was
profoundly astonished to find that three of
his strictly temperate men were in the
calaboose for being drunk, and after ma
ture elaboration that contractor has come
to the conclusion that if they were strictly
temperate when he employed them, they
are the best and most apt set of scholars

THOUGHT HE WAS SULLIVAN.
A Drunken Man Makes a Mistake as to
Ills Own Identify.

About . O'Clock yesterday morning
Officer Sullivan found Il man named Dan
Corcaran down on Fifteenth street who
said he guessed he knew pretty much all
there was to be known about the financial
situation in Wall street. He had been
there and knew all about it, and further
more he knew John L.. Sullivan and had
travelled with him. He was pretty drunk.
and the officer thought something ought
to be done with him, but finally left him,
thinking perhaps he would make his way
home. He had not gone very far, how
ever, before he heard a knocking about on
the sidewalk and turned just in time to
see the man fall into the ditch. As he
did 50 he hit his head on a stick of timber
and quite badly cut and bruised the side
Of his face. As Sullivan came back to
where he was lying the man was Just try
ing to pick himself up and As he did so
muttered to himself: Guess | must
have hit him pretty hard; betcher life |
did-jess the boy't can do it, too. My
names John l., Sullivan, but | didn't
want ter tell that teller, yer know, for his
names Sullivan, too, but | can jess -
here he fell again into the ditch. Sulli-
van picked him up and took him to the
calaboose and yesterday he was brought
up before Judge Lee and pleaded guilty
to being drunk. He was fined $40 but
could not pay up and was calaboosed.

There was hardly a business man in
Cheyenne who did not on yesterday ex-
press himself as entirely confident in re
lation to the financial outlook and none of
them were in the slightest degree alarmed
at the situation east. As evidence ofthis
fact it might be mentioned that at the
banks there has not been so quiet a day
for a considerable period of time as was
experienced yesterday.
