The Christian Union, published at New
York, is one Of the ablest and widest circu-
lated Christian Journals in America. 1t is
one of the papers which, in its editorial cx-
pressions, Joined the recent Independent
movement at the East, and, because of its
recognized high standing and ability, and
looking with favor upon Cleveland at the
time of his nomination, has been widely
quoted by Democratic papers. In its last
issue which has reached us, DR.. Lyman
Abbott, the editor of the paper. says: The
whispered scandals respecting Governor
Cleveland are no longer whispers. They
have been given to the public through the
press, and have a certain sanction given to
them by the name of a clergyman who
claims to have Investigated them and to
have satisfied himself of their truth
Neither Mr.. Cleveland's reputation, nor the
cause which he represents, is helped by
the defenSes which have been attempted in
certain quarters; such as that the country
has only to do with the public and official
career. not with the private character Of u
public candidate; or that it has frequently
hOnored by its suffrageS and accepted the
public services of men of impure lives, as
in the case of Alexander Hamilton, Henry
Clay, and some public men of later date in
American politics. If the charges against
Governor Cleveland are true, his friends
should counsel him to take himself off from
the ticket; and if they do not, the lovers of
domestic purity and the respectcrs of
womanhood should sweep him off If
they are not true, the exact truth should
be told-told with authority, such
as would give the country confidence
that it was the truth. We Judge, from such
investigation as we have been able to
make, that the truth would show the story
to be grossly exaggerated, but not wholly
groundleSS but whatever it shows, the
American people are entitled to know it.
If Governor Cleveland cannot stand before
them if that truth is known, he must
stand aside; if the independent move
mcnt, inauguratcd in good faith TO purify
our National, State and Municipal admin
istrations of political corruption, suffers
check, it must suffer The family is more
than the State; social decentralization Is
more dangerous and deadly than political
corrlption and it would be better by far
to postpone political reform for season
than to attempt to purchase it at so dear a
price as the election of a man against whom
such charges are presented, and from whom
and from whose friends and supporters
there is neither denial nor explanation
Every man is to be presumed innocent
until he is proved guilty; but only after he
has pleaded not guilty. This scandal has
passed beyond the limits within which a
public scandal can be treated with silent
contempt. Silence much longer continued
will be taken for confession"

The success to be achieved in fruit-grow-
ing in Colusa county is indicated by the
Orland Times, which, after visit by its
editor to the farm of C. Jasper, situated on
the gravelly plains southeast of that town,
says: I'VE found his very industrious
boys pulling blackberries, and we most
candidly say that the quantity ofvines and
berries were truly very great The gentleman
appreciates irrigation, and for that purpose
has three large windmills, two of them
very powerful and of his own mechanism.
In his orchard are found great variety
of fruit trees, those that are irrigated hay
ing a healthier appearance and produce
more finer fruit The effect of irrigation
can be seen in row OF poplars north ofthe
orchard. Those at the end of the black
berries receive the surplus water, and the
trees are uniform, thrifty and handsome.
At the east end of the irrigated trees are
four more planted the same time, but they
appear some years younger, and have the
appearance of struggle for life. One
fact is apparent in this and all other
orchards we have visited, that the trees
will grow in any of this soil with
out irrigation, but grow much better
with water running near them. Mr.. Jas
per had in his garden and orchard several
varieties of the grape, and very fine corn
| and vegetables of all kinds, not forgetting
good patch of tobacco, showing the soil
adapted to anything put in"

A c. c." writing from Lotus, FL Do
RADIO county, to the REcoRD-UNIoN, under
date of the 18th instant, says: Hardly ever
in the history of this section OF FL Dorado
county has there been such an abundance
of choice fruit At this writing one sees
numbers of groups busy in the preparation
of fruit for shipment. Apples are more
plentiful than any other fruit and orchard
lists are more inclined to dry them than to
ship them green. Peaches are Of good size
and excellent favor. Plums are plentiful
and of good quality. Pears, especially
Bartletts, are abundant and viii no
doubt command good prices. The
grape crop will be larger than
usual. The largest, best kept and
most profitable ranch here is that of Mrs.
Louisa Rasmussen. There are on the place
400 bearing apple trees, 7OO peach, l25
plum, 100 pear. 40 nectarine, $500 black
berry vines, 5000 Erapevincs, and num-
Der OF apricot and cherry trees. Mrs Ras-
musson last year built wine cellar and
stlll-houSc of large proportions. Nearly
all the grapes grown here are turned into
wine and brandy. The place is known as
the FL Dorado vineyard
The ranches of Dan Haggard, Spencer
Norris, John Jones, George RAMSEY Will
lam Valentine and William White, in this
vicinity, are in excellent condition, and
will yield large quantities Of fruit. The
orchards in and about Coloma all look very
well. The orchard of Messrs. Osborne 4
Glundel is exceptionally well cared for, and
yields the most luscious of fruit One of
the most prominent yiticulurists in this
county IS q. ID. Endriss, of Michigan Flat.
Mr.. Endrss has done a great deal for the
advancement Of viticuiture, and his wines
and brandy are among the best in Califor-
mia. He came to this section of the State
over 80 years ago. and has been identified
with the progress Of the county ever since.
One of the greatest needs in this county
at the present time is cannery. The
county should not be without one another
year. Enterprise can find good investment
in this direction

The result of experiments by Professor
Beale in clearing the soil from weeds is
given in the Country Gentleman in which it
is stated that beginning in garden and
carefully removing all the weeds, not allow
ing them to go to seed, hoeing and cult
waiting, and, if weed escapes, digging it
up and carrying it off, SO far succeeded that
in two or three years he could pick up all
the weeds and carry them Oft with one
hand. To vineyardists and orchardists in
California, where frequent cultivation of the
soil is almost equal to irrigation in supply
ing moisture, and from the further we'll
known fact that whatever is allowed to grow
besides the trees and vines takes moisture
and nourishment from them, the above re-
suit of careful attention to cleaning and
keeping the ground clean, indicates what is
familiar to all close Observers that greatest
economy, as well as greatest profit, exists
in the most thorough and unremitting at
tention to cultivation, to the extent of pre-
venting the growth of any weeds whatever
at any season Of the year when cultivation
can be carried on

KEEPING FRUIT WITHOUT CANS.
A New Scientific Discovery of Much In
terest.

terest.
The following appears in the Prairie
Farmer:
In our issue of July 10Th we published
communication in the Prairie Farmer from
the editor of the Sharon (Mass.) Adrocdte
describing q simple process of keeping fruits
IN bowls and other open top vessels, simply
covered with the unglazed cotton, such as
is purchased in the stores rolled i'll blue pa
per, as follows:
Directions Use crooks, stone butter
lars, or any other convenient dishes. Pre-
pare and cook the fruit precisely as for cam
ming in glass jars; fill your dishes with the
fruit while it is yet hot, and Immediately
cover with cotton batting securely tied on.
| Remember that all putrefaction is caused
| by the invisible creatures in the air. Cook
ing the fruit expels all these, and rs they
can not pass through cotton batting, the
| fruit thus protected will keep an indefinite
period The writer of this has kept berries,
cherries, plums and many other kinds of
fruit for two years with no cover save bat
ting on the jars"
As previously stated if fruit can thus be
unfailingly kept, IL is a matter of great in
terest. we find in the Sharon 1duocate of
July 18th, our articles and remarks copied,
and the following editorial remarks, which
are confirmatory of the previous state
ments, and we advise at least limited
| trial of the process by our readers. We
will not discuss the theory of the method,
which is of less immediate Importance than
the practical outcome. Mr.. Wickes says:
"This subject is of such importance to
| the public, and SO little understood, that we
again refer to it. Brother Judd, editor of
| the Prairie Farmer, is no doubt correct in
supposng that the preservation of fruits in
| tightly sealed cans results from the cNclu-
| sion of the oxygen of the air. We suppose,
| however, that depriving the bacteria OF OK
ygen deprives them of life, as no animal
| life can exist without 1t. Professor Iyn-
| dali demonstrated several years ago that all
purefaction was caused by the bacteria in
| the air, and could be prevented by inclos-
| ing the article in cotton batting. The pub
| lished results of Tyndalls experiment fell
under the eye of Dr. Chase, an eminent
physician of Thomaston, Maine, and he at
once saw its practical value. At his sug-
gestion Mrs. Chase put up several gallons
of damson plums in some pots with but
! little sugar, the jars being only covered
with cotton batting. The plums kept per
! fectlv, until opened one and two years
afterward Mrs Chase told the result to
| the editor of the Aduocdte, and we have for
| three years put up berries in the same way,
| and never had Il jar fail to keep. Last year we
opened in the presence of several people a,tar
| Of blueberries that had been put up Just
| two years, and found them in nice order.
To Professor Tyndall belongs the honor OF
the discovery, and to Mrs. Chase the honor
of being the first to make a practical use of
| it. We desire to make so useful a matter
| known to the general public, and we only
claim to have been the first to publish the
directions
