Our own Marietta statesman, Gen.
Warner, now that be has apparently ar
ranged TOR turning that Republican
"rascai" d. ID. Taylor out of the Cam
bridge pos;ofice, is applying the tleeting
moments'to working up his scheme for
free silver or scheme to enable the
silver kings TO sell to the government
all the silver aS fast as it Can be pro-
duced from the mines, aHd to compel the
government to issue paper upon the
valuation stamped upon the bars OF sill
ver. The form of the proposition which
Gen. Warner makes and which he hopes
to have enacted into law is about as
follows:
First-Issue certificates on the deposit
Of silver bullion at its market price al
the time OF deposit expressed in dollars,
which shall stand as the declared value
OF the certificates, while in the hands of
the public. The average value Of silver
for the previous month might be taken
as the market value at the time of de
post.
Second-Such certificates to be made
legal-tender iOr all purposes except in
transactions between private parties.
Third-They shall be redeemable in
Lawful money, or at the option of the
Government in silver bullion at its
market price at the time of redemption
When received into the Treasury for
dues to the Government or redeemed in
lawful money, they shall be held and
paid out again as other currency, but
when redeemed in silver bullion to be
Cancelled and destroyed.
FourEh-Tne coinage of silver to be
suspended until required again to meet
an actual demand for silver dollars. On
the coinage of any bullion, the certifi
Gates representing the bullion shall be
Cancelled and destroyed.
Fifth-Fractional silver, or at least
the half-dOllar pieces, to be made full
weight and full egal-tender, and the re-
demption of subsidiary silver to be dis
continued.
SixLh-Withdraw the one and two
dollar legal-tender notes without re-
ducIug tue total volume of greenbacks;
also the iVe-doilar bank note, and issue
one, two and five dollar coiu notes, based
on the silver dollars now coined, dollar
for dollar.
Standardization and recoin the trade
dollar into STANDARD dollars or fractional
coin.

Carpet Trade Review, June l, '65.
We copy the above from the
Carpet Review that those who con-
template the purchase of Carpets
now or in the near future may
know the true condition of the
market and act accordingly.
It matters not to our customers
or to ourselves why an advance
was necessary. That it is a fact
not to be disputed such high au-
thority as the Review fully estab-
fishes in our mind, and the dealer
who, ignorant of the state of the
markets, not having yet placed his
fall orders for carpets, will in his
later purchases have the truth of
this statement clearly demonstrat-
ed by the appearance of his in
voices. And so it will be with
those who are compelled to buy
Carpets for their own use. To
neglect to buy now, when an op-
portunity is presented to obtain
them at lower prices than ever be-
fore named ON the goods, is to
neglect ones own interests and to
be painfully reminded, when a
neglected purchase is made, of a
time when the present low prices
are figures of the past.
One acquainted with this city,
and knowing the many firms hand
ing Carpets previous to our enter.
ing the field as competitors, would
hardly have thought that the addi-
ton of another Carpet Store could
have been profitable. But a tho
rough knowledge of our business
and an extended acquaintance
with our largest and prominent
manufacturers, and by a system
of purchasing, few dealers possess,
enabling US to offer immense lines
of all desirable goods much under
the prices usually charged, has
built up for us a reputation
and a profitable business of which
we are proud and which we shall
zealously guard.

Care of Shade-Trees.

Professor LantZ in the Industralist.
Thousands of shade trees have been planted
this spring along the streets and on the lawns of
our Kansas cities. The season has been exceed
ingly favorable to their growth, and, as conse-
quence, considerable number of chem will live
and make rapid growth. But so many people
are negligent in caring for tie trees they have
planted that it is fair to estimate that large
numbers will not outlive the severe heat of the
summer. By proper care at the present time, by
far the greater. number of these can be saved.
Soon after the trees begin to grow, buds begin
to develop along the trunk. Especially is this
the case with trees that have been cut back at
the top AS fast as these tender branches APP
pear they should be removed, so that the whole
strength Of the tree may be devoted to repair
the damage occasioned by the cutting back"
process. 1t is mistake to suppose that the
trunk requires shade to enable the tree to with
stand drouth The top of the tree needs all the
sap to develop new branches The trunk will
take care of ITSELF provided that it is protected
from horses and cattle, and is kept free of
branches. Every limb that is removed should
be cut off close to the trunk, that the latter is
left as smooth as possible. stump OF a limb
projecting half inch will require twice as long
to heal over it would were it cut off close, and
the wound leaves scar from which the tree
never fully RECEIVERS. Careless trimming of ash.
lea we'd naples other soft-wood trees is the
cause of most of the failures in their growth.

BURLINGTON, Ia, June IA dispatch from
Massena, Cass county, says that tornado struck
the village of Bridgewater, eight miles from
Massena, on Monday. The wrecks indicate that
two storms met there as there are two distinct
traces of tornados in the town The first house
/ struck, a two-story frame, was blown down, and
Mr.. and Mrs Lilly were severely injured. The
latter has since died. Mr. Hartman's house was
the next one struck, and not timber was left
standing. Mr.. Condor, who was in the house,
received fatal injuries. The members of the
family were all more or less hurt. DR.. Reagan's
drug store was moved from its foundation and
the stock ruined The building next to the drug
store was the only one in the village that es-
capped injury 8. F. Pattersons broom factory

What Shall Tom Read?

Mrs ii. Annette Poole, in Good Housekeeping.
You will find it very hard task to keep the
sight and sound of bad reading away from Tom
1t is everywhere. If he does not see it at home
some OF mis- schoolmates will have their pockets
filled with it. Any quantity of stories bearing
such fascinating titles as 1.-THE Madman of the
North Pole, or the Boy Mazeppa of the Arctic
Seas" which is an actual title, can be purchased
for five cents each, and in many cases the buyers
will dispose of them after perusal, for two cents
Broadsides containing wonderful pictures, and
the opening chapters of such tales are weekly
distributed by enterprising news-deaers.
And think these stories are far worse than
they used to be. For even pirate stories had in
them the smack of the blue ocean, and the fas-
cination of white sails and tropical islands, and

hands and under his eyes at every corner are
mainly detective stories, and the reader is led
through the lowest slums of New York and Lon
don crimes of the bloodiest and vilest nature
are depicted, and the language is the worst of
thieves slang. The Indian fighter and the pi-
rate were pictured as brave and even chivalrous,
but these villains are only cruel and murderous
from the beginning to the end of the story; and
the only way to keep Tom away from them is
to fill his reading hours so full of something else
that he will have no time for them until his
taste is so far formed that they will have no
fascination for him, and the remedy lies almost
entirely in the hands of the mothers.

Budding Time.
BC
Boston TranScrint.


From this time through July is the period to
attend to budding fruit trees. The operation is
very simple one and has been over and over
described in columns, so that by this time
most persons who have budding to do ought to
know how it is done. A piece of bark from
last years stem, an inch and half long, con-
tanning an eye or bud near the middle, is
put under the bark of the stock where
it is to grow, which has been.
slit, and loosened by the back of the knife, or
piece of bone made for the purpose and to be
purchased at the seed stores. After carefully
inserting the same the bark is closed upon the
bud, and the stock and the bud tied with a cord
or Eastwood. Care must be taken that the
branch from which the bud is taken is of vigor-
GUS health or growth, or the bud will not ''takep
or grow. It is not necessary that the
stock on which the bud is set should be
only one year old; in fact, it is better
that it should be two or three years
old. All that is required is that the bark separ-
ates freely from the wood, which it does gener
ally during the latter part of summer; and where
it does so, and the other conditions are right,
there is not the least danger of the bud not
growing. Budding is really more certain of
growing than grating if the work is correctly
done, and 1t can be done in half the time We
have known children to graft and bud and
especially farmers daughters, who take pride
in trying their dainty hands at it, and seldom
fail

The Agricultural Report.
Cbicaeo Daily Business

CHICHgO DaIIy
Discredit IS thrown upon the report this month
on account of a dispatch from Tallmadoa the
Milwaukee statistieian, to the effect that he has
information that the State agents of the National
Bureau of Agriculture were dismissed several
weeks ago, and that the department. therefore
could not have any facts to base report upon.
The guesses of the Department of Agriculture
may or may not be incorrect and misleading but
the grave suspicious aroused by the Tallmadgean
telegram might be put at rest by the knowledge
that the State agents of the Agricultural Depart
ment do not constitute its corps of crop CORE
spondents. The State agents are few in num-
Der. as we understand it, and were until recently
under pay. The crop correspondents, to the num-
Der of about 2, 900, receive nothing in return for
their services except seeds and the pamphlets
that are distributed under the direction of the
department. The news they furnish is certainly
worth the seeds and the literature they get for it.
