From all we have heard of the rejoicing of

it Waterloo defeat for Thomas.
AT Sparta Mr.. Albright did as well or
better than at Murphysboro. His particu.
lar hit was the mailing of the Republican
statement that he was deserter. He met
this, not by pleading "official engage
meuts," "ulcerated sore at Saratoga" or
"You know l paired with Mr.. Curtin
but he drew forth a properly and officially
signed HONORABLE DISCHARGE" He un-
folded that document, passed it around so
that everyone could inspect it. He handed
it to Capt. Thomas who was compelled to
admit that such evidence was sufficient to
stand the Republican charge as untrue; 80
thoroughly did it exonerate Mr.. Albright
that Mr.. Thomas dared not mention it in
his DuQuoin speech.
DuQuoin finished the list Here Capt.
Thomas tried to divert attention from his
own bad record by bringing charges against
Mr. Albright as Senator. He absolutely
failed to substantiate his charges, and also
failed to draw the audience from his own
record. Mr.. Albright was not to be fooled

HINTS FOR THE FARM AND HOUSE.
New Rearing Trees.

To form a line or grove of future NUT
bearing trees, says the New York Irl-
bune, get the largest chestnuts, walnuts,
hickories, etc, to be had, and either
plant in the fall, five or six in a hill III
each place where a tree is wanted-the
best only to be finally retained--or
spread all on the ground near the house,
where mice, pigs, etc, are kept at et,
fectual bay by the cats aud dogs and
plant out as soc as sproutod IN the
spring, carrying the sprouted seed in n
pail with water, and setting fewer IN a
hill. In either case they must have
merely covering enough to prevent
them drying while admitting air freely;
charcoal b~raise, open leaf mold or pure
coarse sand are suitable, and shou'd
but just cover the nuts, Keep tho soil
open, and all weeds and shade strictly
away, and exclude all gr~aminivores un-
til the stems have got ont of their reach.
Dry, sandy or rocky soil is generally
preferable-the poorest sand is first
choice for chestnutS.

rransp1nnting Evergreens.

Pines, hemlocks, AMI other evergreen
trees which grow ON the margins Of muck
and swamps and in the borders Of woods,
and which are usually regarded as diff
cult to transplant, may be removed with
safety, The Country Gentleman says, by
CARRYING enough soil on the roots to hold
the tree IN an upright position by its
weight the taller the tree the larger
must be the weight of the circle Of soil.
We have never succeeded better than
when tho work was done in winter. If
the soil is frozen only a few inches down,
Il geod sized circular renchi is cut around
the tree. and the cake of frozen soil lift
I'd out. If large, the tree may he drawn
in an upright position mp an inclined
plank-way to q sled. Trees of white
pine twelve or fifteen feet high have been
thus removed without losing a single one
