0sier Willow,

The cultivation of the basket willow
has been undertaken a number of times
in the United States, but each time
abandoned from the fact that American
labor could not compete with the cheap
labor of women and children in Europe
in peeling and preparing the shoots.
The value of osier imported into this
country is about So, 900, 600 annually,
and it sells at from 500 to $3.50 per ton.
The cost of raising is from $50 to $50 ton.
and the product varies from one to four
tons to the acre. To raise it the soil should
be deep, well drained and thoroughly
worked, but moist and capable of being
overfiowed in dry months. The osiers
are propagated by cutting its rows three
feet apart, The ground should be kept
clean of weeds. The crop the first wear
is OF little value, but should be cut in
order to have good stand of shoots the
second year. The shoots for market are
sometimes cut in November, and from
that time to April are equally good.
After cutting they are tied in bundles,
and the lower ends placed in water until
they are peeled in April, May or June.
After peeling they are cleaned and placed
in the sun to be dried. - Chicdgo Nesos.

Moss PAPER.

Consul Gade, of Christiania, has sub
mitted to the United States government
a report relative to new material for
paper. This is the white moss which
grows so largely in Norway and Sweden.
The living plants is not used, but the dead
moss which accumulates in the woods.
The moldering which the moss has un-
dergone fits it for use in paper-making.
A factory is now being built in Sweden
in district where a million of pounds
sl the dead moss can be collected. Paper
of various thicknesses and card board of
the white moss have been made; the lat
ter being as much as hree-fourths inch
thick. 1t is as hard as wood, can easily
be painted and polished, and it has the
advantage of not warping or cracking
with drought. 1t may, therefore, be
used for window frames and SO on

WISE WORDS.

He that lacks time to mourn lacks time
! TO mend.
If one were TO bo worded to death,
Italian is the tittest language.
One should seek for others the happi-
ness one desires for ones self.
The truly valiant dare everything but
doing any other body an injury.
Don't open your purse too hastily or
too wide, nor your mouth either.
In order to do great things we should
live as though we were never to die.
Women-their first love inspires the
poet, and their praise is his best reward.
Fire and sword are but slow engines of
destruction in comparison with the bab-
bier.
To enjoy the pleasure of wealth thou
shouldst first experience the fatigue of
labor.
1t is one proof of good education, and
of true refinement of feeling, to respect
antiquity.
To fill the hour and leave no crevice
for repentance or an approval--that is
happiness.
To the generous mind the heaviest
debt is that of gratitude when it is not
in our power to repay it.
When amisfortune happens to friend,
look forward and endeavor to prevent the
same thing from happening to yourself.

A Romance.

Father"
Thus spoke fair girl, about whose
sweet young face there clustered bang
like solid stone wall around a flower
garden, and in whose voice were mingled
the soft notes of the flute and the silvery
tones of a dinner bell, half an hour late.
The person addressed was cold, hard
man, with iron gray hair and corSscrew
whiskers, and with that stern look in his
eye which prompts man to go else
where to borrow dollar. He was sit
ting in his Office reading the morning
paper.
"Well, girl, what is it9" he replied,
looking at the head lines of the Chicago
grain market dispatches.
Father, Gerald has asked me to mar
ry him, and have accepted him."
- don't doubt it.n
yes, father; and l thought I would
tell you, SO it would not surprise you
when he asked you for me-"
Don't worry yourself, girl. Don't
worry yourself. / will not be half as
much surprised as Gerald will, my dar-
ling" and he refectively threw his right
leg up over his left knee, and run his
hand carefully around the toe Of his boot.

We ask the press of Florida to
answer the following questions:
Is Florida exceptionally lawless?
Do criminals escape justice here
easier than In other states :?
Do the press and the public SEN
timent of Florida encourage the
commission of crime or aid the gull
ty prisoners to escape!
Do the press of the state APP
prove or condemn the persistent ed
itorial argument of a prisoners
guilt, and his wife's infamy, before
this prisoner, has been put upon his
trial?
Do the press of Florida approve
or condemn the editorial ridicule of
a man, in jail, who asks that his
simple statement be read by those
who have already listened to the
commonwealth editorial prosecu-
tors" denunoiation of his alleged
crime ?
Has the conduct of the Times
Union diminished the commission OF
crime? Will it result in preventing
crime or in creating a sympathy
for those whom it seeks to convict
before they have been arraigned fol

Ex-GOv. HoratiO Seymour believes in
improving and keeping open nayigable
water ways in order to place a check up
on excessive charges by railroads for
transportation. eve are" says the
venerable statesman, ''to have hard
struggle to keep our lead as a food-sup-
plying country, and we must give up the
delusion that Europe depends upon us for
food. They will only buy of us if we
can deliver it to them at the lowest cost.
The delusion that the old world depends
upon us for food stimulates extravaganza
in congress and corruption in Legislatures.
If we fail to uphold our water routes as
protection against unjust and unwise
charges for transportation, we shall slf-
fer in the future"
How applicable are these words to
our own condition and the noble
river that flows by our doors. The
railroad corporations which stretch
their arms about the whole state
may well be Indifferent to the filling
up of river channels-these free
roads to the sea. But the people

"CRInIE- AND THE PRESS. -


The Times Union seeks to evade
the true issue between us, under
cloud of platitudes and perversions.
We do not intend to allow such an
escape. The learned ae0mmon-
weaith's editorial prosecutor" shall
not platitudinate himself beyond
the limits of this issue, nor misrep-
resent our attitude into, meanings
which we have never expressed.
In brief our positions have been
these:
l. That it is not the function of
the press to argue the guilt or in
nocence of a prisoner charged with
crime. Still less is it the duty of
the press to excite such a discussion,
because it prevents a calm, judicial
inquiry, and tends to disqHalify the
possible intelligent jurors who are
most deeply interested in the en-
forcement of the law and most apt
to execute it impartially.
.. That the impression sought to
be conveyed by the Times Union
that Florida is exceptionally lawless
Its public sentiment tolerant Of
crime and winking at the release of
murderers, is entirely untrue.
3. That this impression, if made
upon the mind of the country at
large, must necessarily deter many
who would otherwise settle among
us from coming here, and thus the
tide of needed immigration be
checked, to the injury of the whole
state.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884.

III IL Hf1IA DELBHiA lin ES, 1851
The TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its hiStOry-mOre widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
fercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganizatiOn, and an able ssOf of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow, no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
il has ever done. with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
cOnciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TIMES spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order 10 give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
II a large variety of entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and to make it journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle, welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens OF every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
OF rural population, have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unSatisfying. Those
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our FORWARDING moving people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness. but il
is gone; and, with it, they are going, too. II
was not the fault of the papers: it was the i'm
prOvement of the country that brought about
the change, Men and women, wherever they
live, now require fresher news; and they re-
auire more than news.
THE WEEKLY TINES gathers of the types OF
every passing week whatever has lasting in
tereSt to the people at large, and sets it before
them in such generosity of paper and print as
would have astoniShed US all twenty yeoFs ago
DAILY-Twelve cents a week. fifty cents 9
month, Sc a year. two cents a copy.
SUNDAY-Four cents copy, 81 year.
WEEKLY-One copy, 81 a year; FIVE copies
