EHect OF Gnrrison,s Failure.

YOUNGSTOWN, ONO, June 20-The failure
of Commodore Garrison in Now York to-day
caused ripple Of excitement here, rs it is
known that he owned considerable stock in
the Pittsburg, Cleveland and Toledo railroad
Regarding the effect of the failure upon this
line, gentleman, speaking with authority,
said tonight:
ut will not have tho slightest effect upon
tho Pittsburg, CHARTERS and Youghiogheny,
as everything is amply secured. Commodore
Garrison purchased one fourth of the stock
of tho line, or $4,000 shares, paying a GER
tain amount in cash and giving notes by
which hcagreed to pay one fourth of the, ex-
pense of construction and equipment of the
line. These notes have been paid as they
fell duo and those yet 10 be paid are on de-
posit in New York and are amply secured.
Tho failure OF MIR. Garrison will have no
effect upon the road whatever, as it is In the
hands of gentlemen who are abundantly able
to hold il. q, IL. Andrews, of this city, and
Wallace G. Andrews, Of Now York, own one
half the stock of the Pittsburg Cleveland
and Toledo; the PittsbuTg aud Western Rail-
road company holds Ono-quarter, aud Com
modore Garrison the remaining quarter. II
is probable that the failure of Mr..
Garrison, who is largely interested in
the Whealing and Lake Erie railroad
will result in the pittsburg Cleveland aud
Toledo road, which now connects with it,
securing possession Of that line. Tho line
has only been open fou. months, but is doing
what no now line ever did before-earning
more than enough TO pay the interest on its
bonded deht-showing it to be a fine invest
ment

lot owners in clayey sections, who are
at a loss to know what to plant that
will thrive. The trees delight in a free
exposure, and let it be said also that
they must be kept away from the shade
and drip of other larger trees if it is
ever expected to have them do well.
They may be planted in rather narrow
places between houses, provided there
is a free admission of air. and sunshine,
and here if they would in time show a,
disposition to widen out in their growth
beyond what would be considered desir-
able, they can be pruned to any extent
to keep them within bounds. Indeed,
the trees thrive under the free use of
the pruningknife rs few others will
and if spurred close in, they form COM
pact heads and flower finely. One
member of this genus is the English
hawthorn, which is well known as she
great hedge plant of Europe, and which
bears pruning SO Admiralty. 1t may be-
proper to add that the small-leayed
kinds bear hard pruning the best. and
on this account are TO be preferred for
small areas.

The FlowerIng Thorns.

There are nor many ornamental trees
which are better suited for planting in
the average town lot than the Towering
thorns. This is because they are of
comparatively small growth, excellent
habit, and remarkably beautiful either
when in flower or afterwards ON ac.
count of their handsome leaves alone.
No other class of Towering trees is
richer in the large number of good
sorts afforded than this one, for al
together there ate more than $50 varie-
ties in cultivation, and in this entire
number it would be hard to pick out
one that is undesirable for ornamental
purposes. There are both single
towering and double-fowering kinds.
The former are more richly perfumed
than the doubles, and they present an
additional attraction in the shape Of
an abundance of berries in the autumn,
which for a long time render the trees
pretty to behold-the fruit being usually
of a brilliant scarlet color. Some of
the best sorts of the single-fiowering
thorns and which may be had in our
nurseries, are the glossy-leaved thorn,
with bright shining foliage and hand
some white flowers; the parsley-leaved
thorn; the azarole thorn from France;
the hybrid smooth-ieaVed thofh; uum-
per's thorn with white flowers edged

A citizen who had an Office on Mon
roe avenue, Detroit, had for the last three
years been owing a grocer bill. The
grocer collector called on him over M
hundred times to ecu payment of the
debt, but was always put of with some
excuse or other. At one time it was
,death-another sickness-another time
bad luck, and so it. went. on until it
really seemed impossible for the debtor
to invent any new pleas. The other day
the grocer himself took the bill in his
fist and cornered the debtor in his office.
Eyes, l know-very Sorry-hand you
the money a week from to-day" was the
smiling excuse, ''See herel' said the
grocer, as he locked the door and pulled
off his coat; "I've been figuring on this

Honey.

Thousands and tens of thousands OF
children are dying all around us, who,
because their ever-developing nature
demands sweetness, crave and eagerly
demolish the adulterated "candies"
and ''syrups" of modern times. If
these could be fed on honey instead
+Akey, rlsld develop and grow up into
healthy pen ana women.
Childrkn would rather eat bread-and
honey THAN bread and butter. One
pound ot honey will reach as far as two
pounds pc butter, and has, besides, the
advantage of being far more healthy
and plfasant-tasted, and alwaysrenains
good, while butter soon becomes rancid
and OTTER produces cramp in the stom-
ach, etsctatlons, sourness, vomiting and
diarrfhoea. Pure honey should always
be freely used in every family. Honey
eatenl upon wheat bread is very benef-
cial ITO health. The use of honey
instead of sugar in almost every kind
of cooking is as pleasant for the palate
as it is healthy for the stomach. In
preparing blackberry, raspberry or
strawberry shortcake it is infinitely
supefior.
1t rs a common expression that honey
is a luxury, having nothing to do with
the hife-giving principle. This is an
erroF-honey is food. in n of its most
concentrated forms. True, it does not
add so much to the growth of muscles
ab does beefsteak, but 1T does ilnpart
other properties no less necessary to
health and vigorous physical and intel
lectual action. 1t gives warmth to
the system, arouses nervous energy
and gives-vigor to all the vital func-
tions, TO the laborer 1t gives strength
to the business man mental force.
Its effects are not like ordinary stlm-
ulants, such as spirits, etc., but produce
a healthy action, the results of which
are pleasing and; permanent--a sweet
disposition and a bright intellect.

Lucky Joe Wilson, the chief Of a
band of horse thieves and outlaws, es-
caped from the jail of Watauga county,
North Cafolina, by a sharp ruse. Will
son was sentenced to the State presenter
outlawry. He took an appeal and was
awaiting the decision of the Supreme
Court in his case. For some weeks he
has pretended to be i'll. Last night he
feigned death, was laid out by the prison
officials, and prepared for burial. The
body was placed in af outbuilding,
where it was viewed by many of the
prisoners and officers of the Jail, The
eyes were wide open and seemingly
glazed In death. Blood had spurted
from the mouth and ran down on the
bed covering. A minister was sent for
to preach at the funeral of the notorious
robber. The body was left alone until
the time for burial. When everything
became quiet about the prison. Wilson
suddenly Fesurrected himself, sprang
up and dashed out of the room, and
made his escape before any one was
aware of what had occurred, He
dashed down the mountain and fed
toward TIE ee. The discoveries Of
the ruse played apen~them by Wilson
were so paralyEsd that they permitted
the prisoner to get two hours start OF
than before they followed him. 1t is
hardly probable that he will be captured
