A writer in the Country Gentleman
says that it costs to plant, cultivate,

$50 To harvest and sell the crop, some.
times leaving Il profit of $3.50. The
crop is, however, subject 10 as many

the expense is as large in proportion
perhaps IN one case as in the other.
Very rich and heavy soils are in
most cases inferior TO the loamyr
gravelIy soils for fruit growing. On
these lighter soils the trees ripen
their wood better, grow less rapidly
and give better favored fruit than
those grown on very rich soils. USu~
ally the best fruit lands are those
which are naturally light, but which
are kept up by n judicious system Of
cultivation and manusing.

1t is a great mistake to select a
heavy clay soil for garden. 1t is

he better to abandon such location
than to attempt to improve it. if it is
possible to do so, because it would
cost too much to remedy the defects
of such a soil. The course of trpat-

WASHINGTON LETTER.



Washington, July 18th.
This is the season of the year that
Washington is usually, to great ex-
tent, deserted. Government en-
ployes are off on vacation, and the
departments are crowded with appli-
cations for leave. But this year
there is remarkable dearthh Of such
applications. For one summer at
least Washington seems a popular
summer resort. The explanation is
that the government employees, not
withstanding the tropical heat, feel
more comfortable in Washington just
pow than they would at the coolest
resort ip the country, with the per-
petqal fear Of receiving word from
Washington that they have been dis
missed.
There is disposition on the part
Of spme of the cabinet officers to
discontinue the allowance Of sick
leaves under pay to employees in the
departments. An impression pre-.

The Indian outlook is not reassur-
ing. The Utes, the Apaches and
the Cheyennes are either giving or
threatening trouble, and the worst
of it is that we have only ourselves
to blame for it. 1t is the old, bitter,
shameful story. The government
cheats the Indians, and whether in
the present instance purposely so OF
not matters little so long as the In
dams do not receive their just due.
The Indian Bureau, it seems, cannot
furnish supplies to the New Mexico
Apaches whose attitude is most
Immediately threatening, and Gen.
Schofeld has asked that the army
stores should be used to feed these
Indians and the amount charged to
the bureau for subsequent liquida-
ton. To this Secretary Lamar has
consented and the dreaded outbreak
at one point, at least, may thereby
be averted. But, apart from tenn
porary expedients, the upshot of the
business IN New Mexico and else
where is that the government has
bouLd itself, for specified considera-
tions, to feed the Indians, and that
the Indians, in effects, and on the
average, receive less than quarter
of the rations of the government
soldiers. 1t is not surprising that,
being so treated, the red men would
rather fight than starve, or that they
should continue to do so until theil
cruel wrongs are set right.

Tuesday night, that the government
would give aid tie the ameer if asked,
created intense excitement in politi-
cal and financial circles at London.

cruel wrongs are set right.

The most notable event of the
week in London has not, for once,
any relation to governmental affairs,
but touches upon subject holding
the most intimate connection with
the cause of public and private NOR
ais, and involving the sanctity of the
home and family. The disclosures
which have been made by the Pail
Mall Gazette are of too frightful
character to be particularized in
these columns. In general way it
may be said that they prove the ex-
istence in the most distinguished
strata of London society not only of
sporadic and secret vice, such as
might be detected in all great cities,
but of vice epidemic, ferocious and
unbridled by respect for decency or
terror of the law,-of vice rampant
and organized into a permanent con-
spiracy for the furtherance and per-
petration of revolving crimes. 1t is
fortunate for English society and
English morals that one newspaper
has the courage and boldness to di-
rectly hurl it's indictment at the
heads of some of the most distin-
guished members of society, its
charge being that London harbors a
hideous conspiracy for abducting the
chaste daughters of the poor to glut
the bestial desires of rich and high
placed libertines. The charge forms
one of those terrible indictments that
inhame the coolest blood, and that
light the torch of revolutions. And
while dainty purists on both sides OF
the Atlantic assume to deprecate the
publication of the details, we rejoice
that the better feeling of both the
English and American peoples be-
slows hearty swell done" upon
the journal to whose patient lnvesti-
CATION and rare courage the awfn
crimes have been made public in al
their hideous outline. And we are
not at all surprised that such men az
Rev. Mr.. Sturgeon, Cardinals New
man and Manning, Professor Law
renee of Cambridge, together will
clergymen of all denominations
should have placed upon these ex
posures the seal of their unqualified
approval. And those who are ia
miliar with the difficulties that lie il
the paths of the poor for obtaining
justice against tue titled and th
wealthy in England, will rejoice tina
by means of an aroused public indig
nation justice will now be had, an'
the hideous business as we may be
lieye DESTROYED.

Vermont's pride in the war record of
her soldiers is justifiable. General Dem
MS, statistical report shows that not quite
three men in one hundred of the whole
army were killed outright upon the field
OF battle, but some of the states suffered
beyond that general average. The gene
raj average of death on the field was 2.8S.

than any other state in both skilled in

Vermont waters this season as follows:

river, 5000; Waits river, 5000; White
river, 1000; Black river, 5000; Saxton's
river, 5000; West river, 10000. The
commission is now trying TO perfect ar
engagements so as to stock many streams
with trout the coming year and hope to
supply more salmon of both species. The
carp will be supplied this fall. They will
thrive in muddy waters and comparative
ly stagnant ponds where there are no 9TH
er fish, and some of the earliest carp put
into Vermont waters now weigh from one
to five pounds.

and stands in the names of the various
banks, it will be a nice question to deter

their favor. If it should be decided that
they are equally responsible with other

pend on me- During all the time he was protesting his friendship for BarTios, he had control of the cable and was tele- graphing to Mexico and the Central American republics trying to raise feel ing against him.
 "It is believed by many that Zaldivsr, knowing that Bar1ios' bravery would not allow him to remain in the rear when the shock of battle came, hired sharp-shoot- CTS to take positions in the trees and kill him of at all hazards. General Barrios was { great man, and he wanted to get him out of the way"
 It has been sald that the general was worth SIS GOO, 900. Is that soT'
 No; that is a great exaggeration. He was interested in every enterprse that was started for the development of the country, owned cattle, sugar and coffee estates, besides great deal of other real property. In fact, the most of his wealth, which amounted to about SI ,ooo GOO. was invested in Guatemala He was thor oughly go-ahead man, and went in for all things that would tend to advance the county"
 Do you think that his property will be con6scated by the governmentr
 "No; it is not thought that 1t will sui fer, because those in po~er are his sym. pathisers, the new president having been raised and trained by him. We think his estates will be left intact for the ben- eft of his family"
 "Will his death end the consolidation schemew
 "Yes after he died it was resolved by the congress of Guatemala that there was no other man to take the place of General Barrios; it was therefore concluded to drop the project of the union at once. It was believed, though, that had he not been killed, he would have succeeded in forming the confederation.n
 "What were his plans in this respect p
 "Well, he was an admirer of everything American, and he calculated that as soon as he had established the republic he would resign and move his family to New York city. where he owned 6ne residence on Flfth avenue, and where one of his children was born. He wished his children to become as much Ameri- can as possible, aud kept American gov ernesses to instruct them"
 The children of the general are very pretty ana SPcak very Sooo EuShsn. Madame Barrios, who is greatly pros trated by her voyage and the effects of her grief, granted the Pos!reporter few minutes interview, in which nothing was brought out differing from the account given by Senor Sousa. The presidents wife is one of the most beautiful of Guat- emala's fair women. She is twenty-six years of age, of medium stature, dark brunette, with glorious black eyes, and dark wavy hair, who would attract atten- tion in any assembly. She is devoted to her children and will occupy her time in experimenting their education in the east Tue party will leave in few days for New York, where they expect to re- side permanently, in accordance with the wishes of the dead president.
