Fruit Garden and Orchards.--From

large weeds that appear through the mulch. As
soon the fruit is gathered remove the mulchng
and give the beds thorough cultivation, cutting
off all runners, unless plants are wanted. Observe
closely the different sorts and when you get q

The apple orchard should receive the same atten-

if mulched with short hay or straw. Do not allow
more than three new shoots to grow in each hill
of blackberries or raspberries. Pinch the tips of
blackberry canes when about five feet high. Keep
them tied up to stakes. Jar the plum trees every
day and sweep up the bitter fruit and the insects

way to save fair crop of fine plums. Tie up
grape vines as they grow, and stop fruit shoots

Garden Work for Jne.-Tne maryland
Farmer tells what to do in the garden this month,
as follows:
Ca6bage-Continue setting out cabbage plants,
both the early sorts and those for midsummer
and early fall, like the Winningstadt, which is so
admirable for an early winter cabbage, but good
at any season it is to be had
Peas-Sow every ten days few rows for sue
cesson. The champion of England" is the best,
and some of the different sorts of the marrows.
At this season plant at least or inches deep
and earth up as they grow, so as to have o broad,
deep hill to retain moisture.
Melons and Canteloupes.-Keep these clean and
do not let them suffer for water; if the weather
proves dry, use freely the watering-pot.
Caulifoaeer and Broccoi.-Both these can be
set out for an early fall crop.
Bunch Beans.-Sow these every too weeks, and
be sure to sow the Wax variety.
Lettuce.-Set out plants for heading.
Rddishes.-Prepare small bed by deep dig
ging and thorough puverizing. Use no manure
except ashes, and see that good coat of them,
say two inches thick, is given to the ground. Sow
thinly in drills. You will have crisp, firm roots,
free from worms and toughness. The turnip
radishes are best at this season; they grow large.
Salading.-Every week sow small bed OF salad
of some sort, to keep up steady supply
The Root Crops.-Keep clean all the beets' car
tots, parsnips, salsify &C., and thin the same.
y,ver allow the soil to bake for want OF stirring
YSpiaaeh.-Be to keep up full supply of
this most valuable vegetable.
Lima and other Climbing Beans, should have
frequent attention both in working the soil and
in training the vines to the poles or trellises.
Tomatoes and Egg Plants.-If not done before
set these out at once. he egg plant requires a
rich soil, and both water and work, to do its best.
Set tomato plant in each hill of the melon patch;
it will keep off the bugs from those vines that are
often destroyed or injured by these and kindred
insects, while the tomato plant will resist such at
tacks, and in its growth will not hurt the melons
but rather help them in many ways. This, at
least, has been our experience in the past.
Pot and Medicinal Herbs.-Set out plants of
these this month.
S,ceet COMPLIANT some for late use.
Red Peppers.-Be sure and set out now a
suficiency of these useful and prolific plants.
Sou Cabbage Seed for Winter Use.-Preparea
rich bed and sow seeds of Flat Dutch, Drumhead
Savoy, or Green Curled Savoy, both sorts, and a
little of some one more of the late, new varie-
ties. Let your chief crop be Flat Dutch for
market, and Savoy for family use. You can
never have too many cabbages, for they are good
for both the kitchen and the dairy.

Three Ways to Cook Asparagus.-As-
paragus is delicious if piece of juicy and tender
lamb is cooked with it. Or it may be boiled in
stock made of the bones and remains of chicken.
Serve with thin slices of toast After you tired
of having it plain, it will appear almost like a
new dish, and be eaten with relish if cooked in
this way.
Very tender asparagus makes a delicious gar
nish Pour boiling water over it and let it lie in
the water for three four minutes, then dip each
piece into little batter and fry it in butter, or
you may fry it in butter without dipping it into
batter; scatter pepper and salt OVERT and place
around the meat or game on the platter.
An appetizing way to prepare asparagus is to
boil it in sailed water until it is tender, then serve
with drawn butter or make a sauce of eggs, but
ter, pepper and SALT put lump of butter into the
irving pan, break half dozen eggs into bowl,
beat them with a spoon, and then pour them into
the frying pan, stirring all the time; when they
begin to harden pour them over the asparagus.

Destroying Sheep Ticks.-Tobaco dust ha:

Destroying Sheep Ticks.-Tobaco dust has
proved q very cheap and reliable remedy, and is
attended with the best success. People generally
dislike wetting the wool in cold weather, and
this is much more simple and easier in practice.
Wholesale dealers buy many hogsheads of Havana
Tobacco. After they have used all they can for
every purpose in the trade there remains gritty
dust, of no use to them whatever. They will give
any one all he needs. Ten pounds will be sufh-
cient for 100 sheep. Have an attendant catch a
lamb and lay it on one side on a box two feet or
so high, for ease in working. The other man will
open the wool with one hand, while with the
other he sprinkles in triAe of the dust, in about
four rows the entire length of the sheep, from
head to tail. Put one row, not on top of back,
but say six or seven inches each side from back
bone, and the other two rows on sides near where
the legs leave the body. You will be agreeably
surprised in few days to find that the ticks over
the entire body of the sheep are all dead in or
near these lines of tobacco dust. One application
has been all that was needed each year. This
can be used for lice on animals also.

The Hanger Signal !-0ur National
Banking system!

hhhAthE Syhteml
Mr.. Blaine, in his speech at tho banquet
last evening, among other points, said that
if the Democrats came into power they
would only have to repeal ton lines of the
National Banking system to destroy it, and
revive the old, cumbrous aud costly State
Bank systems, when we wonld have as many
different kinds Of currency as there are
States in the Union. Mr.. Blaine undoubt-
edly referred to the section taxing the
circulation of State banks. In that connoc-
tion gentleman relates an incident that
occurred during the Forty-fourth Congress
that corroboratos Mr.. Blaine in his fears of
the result to our benefcent banking sys-
TEN if the Democrats were to obtain full
control of all departments of the Govern
ment.
During one of the sessions of the Forty
fourth Congress Representative Davis of
North Carolina, called on the gentleman
who relates the story to THE CRITIC on
some public business in which his constitu-
ents were concerned. He laid down on our
informant's desk bundle of papers, and
went off leaving them there. On examin'
ing them one of them was found TO be bill
to repeal the section of the National Bank
ing law taxing State Bank cIrculation-the
very section Mr.. Blaine undoubtedly re-
fers to.
The fact is, Southern Democrats are as
ultra States Rights men as ever they were !;
and they look upon the National Banking
system as a standing eyesore and aggrava-
tion-a monument, as II were, Of the su-

Mr., o. X. HARRIS, who has managed
the News Department of THE CRITIC since
1t passed into the hands of the present pro-
rrietors, has been compelled by the pressure
ofillness to abandon all lljournalistico or other
work for the present. He has been suffer-
ing for nearly two years from severe
pulmonary complaint and in spite of the
protests Of friends, insisted upon attending
to his duties all of last summer-trying to
mako himself believe that so long as he
could be at work he was getting better.
Two weeks ago while at his desk at this
Office he was taken seriously i'll, and he has
at last become convinced that rest and quiet
are essential to his restoration to health.

THE decision on the Scott law by the
Supreme Court of Ohio has disgusted tho
very class it was designed to corral. They
resent the idea that they vote for beer and
for their pockets only. And the Democrats
have made another mistake in supposing
that the Germans could possibly be induced
to vote for Free Trade under any circum-
stances. The German saloon-kcepcr knows
that a customer without money is of no
benefit to him. Therefore, he will vote for
policy that will put moro than enough
money in his customers pockets than will
afford them the bare necessaries of life
The Germans of Ohio will voto in Novem-
ber as they did in October-tho straight
Republican ticket.

The annual report of the superintend-

very interesting facts and figures about To-
cal improvements
The Districts force of day laborers have
accomplished with economy and discretion
an amount of work in the past year that
would pave and improve the streets and
sidewalks Of thriving village
In addition to the work of paid laborers
the operations of the chain-gang have boon
effective and important without opposing
any other labor or conflicting with IL.
This very essential and unusual result was
accomplished by rule that the work to
be done by convicts must be of a character
which the District appropriations did not
provide for and which could be done in no
other way. This principle must govern the
employment of forco of prisoners. The
competition between honest and convict
labor must not be attempted, and will not

superintendent.

they feel bound to sweep away as soon as

Absorbing interest is manifested in this
city in the selection of Bishop Pinckney's
successor. Tho voneration with which
that grand old man is regarded ronders it
doubly important that his mantle shall
rest upon man of broad views and sterl-
ing worth, who has the courage of his con-
victions, the confidence and love of all who
know him, and who is earnest, clear and
convincing in his teachings.
Such a man is DIR. VIM. Paret, OF the
Church OF the Epiphany, and in his selec-
tion the convention would pursue an emil
nently wise and proper courso--this city's
great loss would bo the diocese's great gain.
He who has labored so truly, sd'srandly
among us, harmonizcd factional disputes
and silenced dissension, would carry on
bravely and successfully the great work
from which Bishop Pinckney was called.
