Mulching Trees and Shrubs.

A very noted English arbOriculturist
says:--"Mulching consists in laying a
circle OF litter around newly planted
trees to retain the natural humidity of
the soil" This Is certainly very brief
and incomplete description Of both the
operation and the benefit to be derived
therefrOm, Is is however about as much
as has been claimed for it by tree plant
ers in this country, and for these and
other reasons comparatively few persons
think that mulching trees is sufficient
ly beneficial to pay for the cost Of mate
rial and its application. To say that
the material applied as a mulch 10 mere
ly ito retain the natural humidity Of
the sail' is certainly claiming very lit
tie for enc of the most beneficial opera
tiOns which the tree planter Can practice
especially in all hot and naturally dry
climates, or in one existing throughout
the greater part Of the United States,
In mulching newly planted trees, or
those sat for some years, we not only
prevent suffering for want of moisture
during the dry weather In summer, but
enable them to obtain those elements,
which they require for nOurishment and
growth. In selecting material for
mulch, one of fibrous nature, or ut
least one that will not become compact
and hard, after being beaten some by
heavy rains, is always preferable to any
other. The more plant food the material
contains, tho better. and for this reason
coarse litter from the stable or barnyard
has no superior for this purpose. Mead
ow hay may be ranked next in value,
then straw, corn stalks, bog hay from
low lands. and thence downward In the
scale to pine or Eastwood shavings and
sawdust. Almost any material that will
shade the surface of the soil, and admit
air and water. will prove of great bens-
fit to newly planted trees, and frequent
ly restore to health the old and feeble.
or those stunted in growth from lack of
moisture ut the roots, and those fertili-
Zing elements, that can only be absorb
ed and utilized when presented in liq-
uid or gaseous form. Even small stones
may answer. s. Fuller IN american

Lincoln and Dixie.

Popular Southern airs have been play
ed in the Executive Mansion and grounds
ever since they were written. It is easy
for me to recall an instance only night
or two before Mr.. Lincoln was assassin
ated. The President had returned from
Richmond and q crowd called with a
band to tender congratulations and a
serenade. The man who was so soon to
DO the victim Of the assassin's bullet
appeared in response to calls and thank
ed his audience for the compliment.
Several members of his Cabinet sur
rounded him, and it was very interest
ing and dramatic occasion. Just as he
was closing his brief remarks, Mr.
Lincoln said: 81 see you have a band
with you. / should like TO hear 1t play
Dixie have consulted the Attorney
General, who is here by my side, and he
IL of the opinion that Dixie belongs to
US. Now play it," The band struck UP
the old tune and played it IA l have
never before or since heard it rendered.
As the strains of the music rang out
upon the air cheer after cheer went up
from the threats of the hundreds of
happy men who had called to congratu-
late Mr.. Lincoln upon the return of
peace o. Washington Letter.

pies. They were subsequently taken
away from her. She disappeared the
next day and was gone several hours.
When she returned she gave evidence Of

brought back with her Eve little baby

had dug out woodchuck's nest, killed
the old ones, and brought back to her

Captain Stephen Cormack died at his

after receiving common school edHca-

forty years. The greater part of the

William Perm. They were noted for a
sturdy patrsOtlsm. His father was a
slgner of the NOn-ImpOrtatiOn Act OF
l765. One of his uncles was major OF
marines at the battle Of New Orleans.
Young Stephens first voyage was to the
Crescent City, reaching there soon after
the battle had been fought. His next
experience was a three-years. cruise Oh

America at that time under the com.
mand of "Old IrOnsldes," Commodore
Stewart, the father of Mrs. Parnell. The
mother of the Irish agitatOr was often
On board, and Captain COrmaek, whom
she used to visit, would recall the many
times that he had held her while yet a
baby In his arms.
The wife of "Old IrOnsidss" took
great fancy to the sunburnt Philadel-
phia lad, and once when he lay for six
weeks in the vicinity of Juan Fernandez

after his comfort. Once when he

were Captain COrmack and Mrs. ParDsll.
While in command Of brig, Captain
Cormack was shipwreeked on January 8,
1879, on the French coast. His bravery
so pleased some Of the French nobility
who witnessed the wreck that they sent
him an invitation to dine ut Villers
Castle. The letter of invitation, yellow
and musty, is preserved by Mrs COrmack.
1t is signed by IL Pslleticr."

great personal risk, rescued four British

For this he received gold medal from
the British government. The medal
was stolen from him afterward.
In 1885 Captain COrmack was married
to Miss Evelina James, Of Orange cOun-

daughters and two SOFAS. One of his sons
