IRRIGATION FOR FRUIT.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
it is being demonstrated every year
that the amount of irrigation re-
quired by fruit-trees in the dry por-
tions of California has been greatly
over-estimated. "Thc fact that soil
that is irrigated becomes so filled
with moisture after while as to
need little additional water is also
receiving exemplification. Mention
is made of fruit-treeS in the colonies
of the driest portion Of the Fresno
plains, which are in full bearing and
loaded with fruit, and which have
been irrigated but twice in five
years There may be hint of
untold value in this information, for
the people of these Islands. Prac-
tical experimentation is proving on
the ground that fruit-raising may be
made one of the most important
industries of this country. If it is
fact, as the above indicates, that
fruit-trees require only q small
amount of irrigation, then many
large areas on these Islands now
arid and waste might be made to
produce an infinite wealth of fruit
exportable, if not in raw, in g
preserved state. One of the recog.
nized obstacles to the utilization OF
great portion of our arabic soil is
the difficulty of irrigation. There
fore, wisdom would dictate that tht
pioneer culture should be that re
quiring the least amount of mois
ture for inducing growth and healthy
maturity. Fruit-trees would them
selves conserve the natural affusio1
of moisture, perhaps in many nov
barren spots to the extent of max
ing other descriptions of vegetation
flourish beneath their shade.

ANOTHER DANIEL COME TO JUDO
MEMT,

The San Francisco Merchant goes
rather out of its way to join hands
with the opponents of the Hawaiian
gold law. 1t further, no doubt un-
Intentionally, does this paper, at
least, the injustice of charging it
with opposition to Messrs. Spreckels'
savings bank, by saying that all the
local press, with the exception of
the advertiser, "appears to be either
actively Or covertly in opposition to
it" (the bank). While we consider
that the Government had no right to
promote the establishment of pri-
vatc savings bank, while enjoined by
statute to establish a public institu-
ton of that kind, still it would be
folly to oppose the private concern
for the dereliction of the Govern
ment. Much injustice, also, we
submit, is done Bishops Bank by
the implication of the Merchant that
it was compelled by the enterprise
of its rival to reopen savings
department. The fact is that the
concern in question went out of that
field partly to give full scope to the
Government scheme, and partly
owing to the unsettled state of the
currency; besides the bank had all
the funds it could invest proftably
without making use of the savings
of the people. When it became
evident that the Government had
abandoned the Legislative scheme,
and at the solicitation of an infuen-
tial number of its customers, Bis,
hops Bank restored its savings
department in perfectly Legitimate
competition with its private rival
Another charge the Merchant make:
against Bishops Bank is that chic
reason for the enactment of golC
standard was to put unearnee

EDITORIAL NOTES.

"The Health Journal and lem
perancc Advocate" is the title of a
new magazine issued by the Pacific
Press Publishing Co., Oakland, Cal.
1t is well edited and handsomely
printed, and published bi-monthly
at fifty cents year. Such publi-
cation cannot but benefit households
in which it is taken and read.
Mr.. M. Thompson, barrister, has
our thanks for parcel of American
papers and public documents, from
which we have no doubt much inter-
esting information can be culled for
our readers. Mr.. Hutton is also to
be thanked for illustrated and other
Paris papers, containing full ac-
counts of the obsequies of Victor
Hugo.
The latest sensation, in connec-
ton with the St. Louis murder, is
that Cooks Tourist Company in
England doubts that Preller was
murdered. His life was insured in
that company for large amount,
and the suspicion is harbored that
the body found in the coffin was a
medical college subject, and the case
was put-up job between Preller
and Maxwell to get the insurance.
From the Foreign Office we have
received two copies of pamphlet
prepared by Mr.. r.. Seeman, Ha-
waiian Consul at the Azores, show
ing the aggregate amount remitted
by Portuguese in this country to
friends at home, during the year
1884. The number of remittances
was 975, and the total sum forward,
ed was S37, ,563, or an average OF
S38. so in each remittance. This is
a creditable showing for the thrift
of the Portuguese who have come
to this country.

methods are not adopted, there is still
chance to have early vegetables and a
good garden. 1t is simply to select the
warmest and driest soil, and SOW or plant
early. 1t is not desirable or wise to SOW
or plant the main crops before the soil is
in good working condition. But for d
few early crops on small scale, we can
well afford to run little risk of losing
our seed by too early sowing. One thing
however should not be overlooked. Do
not depend on this early sowing, but
SOW or plant again little later, when
the soil and weather are more favorable.
If the first sowing succeeds, you are So
much ahead; if it fails, you have lost
only the seed and your labor. You can
well afford to run this risk. There are
some crops which can be sown the
moment the frost is ont of the SOIL with
little or no risk. Among these we may
mention peas, cabbage, cauIitIover,
spinach, onion, lettuce. celery, heet, car
rot. parsnip etc 1t is seldom that these
crops are hurt by early frost. Last year
a frost in MAY destroyed many cabbage
pants but this IS a very unusual occur
renee. among the crops which we should
re-sow without waiting to see if the first
sowing will escape, arn bcets, radishos,
cabbage, cauiitlOWer, beans and sweet
corn. American Agricuturist for May.

The Planting of Evergreens.

A deciduons tree, the buds of which
have started, is always risky thing to
handle. With evergreens it is different
They transplant better after vegetation
has started and the terminal buds begin
10 swell This is one reason why ever
greens furnished by nurserymen with
other stock early in the season, often
fail. They have necessarily been dug
too early, exposed perhaps to chilling or
drying winds during the packing, and,
though fresh and green in appearance
when received ny the planter, make no
start after setting out, and gradually
turn brown and die. 1t is much better
to order evergreens to be sent separately
from other trees and later in the season,
say during May, or even June, if the
season is backward and the new shoots
have not made much growth. They
should be fresh-dug, quick packed and
soon received. The tender point about
an evergreen is its root. If once dried,
it seldom RECEIVERS. 1t is very important,
therefore, that the roots should be care
fully protected from sun and wind. If
possible, take cloudy or showery day
for handling evergreens. If the right
conditions do not exist, keep the roots
constantly wet and rolled up in mating
If there are great many to be handled,
as for hedging, keep them trenched in
moist soil, removing only few at time.

0O0, 900 or 100000 of the fish aboard.
All Of the mackerel boats in port
yesterday hailed from Portland or Glou-
cester. The strongest rivalry exists be-
tween every two schooners separately,
and between the fleets Of the two ports.
No Portland man will admit that the
best Gloucester boat is equal to the
poorest of his fleet, and every Gloucester
man would profess to consider his life
unsafe in a Portland boat. Speed is the
great thing, as everything depends upon
getting into market first, and it is a
faint hearted crew indeed which will not
risk men and standing rigging to beat
rival.
Henry Mckown, skipper Of the Hen
ry Morganthau, is not the only one who
believes his boat to be the fastest His
brother, F. C. McKown, who commands
the James Dyer. Skipper B. H. Squirting
Of the Lizzie Maud, John Seevy of the
Matte r. Tyer, Will Sergeant of the
Fannie Squirting. Jason Greenaw of the
Lucy Dyer, Frank Pierce Of the Jennie
Armstrong Ernest Johnson Of the James
Pool, and almost every other skipper in
the fleet has a little private opinion of
his own about his boat. But the two
lions of the coast at present are Solomon
Jacobs and Henry Mckown. Jacobs
halls from Gloucester. His schooner, the
Mollie Adams is most frequently quoted
as the fastest flyer on the coast, and is
owned by himself. Besides this he owns
another boat nearly as good, and is gen
orally believed to have S50,O00 put away
in some place where thieves and rust
would have hard work to get at it. All
the shippers are willing 10 admit that he
can catch more fish than anybody else,
and sell for a higher price.
Henry Mckown isn't as rich as Jacobs,
although be owns share in his boat, but
he is Just rs popular, and catches very
nearly us many fish He is said to have
sold $4,000 worth Of mackerel in three
years, while in command OF the Eddie
Pierce, which another brother of his now
runs, and his men usually take as much
money home. as any crew in the fleet
Like all shippers, Mckown has the right
TO choose his own crew, and according to
a custom which is UNIVERSAL they are
chosen from among the men who, when
at home, live within a stones throw of
his house, who were boys with him, who
went to school with him, and perhaps
thrashed him once or twice in the course
of school term. In consequence there
is very little of rank or precedence aboard
a mackerel boat, and any true lover Of
equality and freedom should board one
and be refreshed. If a captains name is
William his men usually call him BILL
If his name is James and lie is pockmark-
ed he is apt to be known and hailed by
the name of 'Speckled jimmy

The New Postal Laws.

The Postmaster General has issued a circular
order to Postmasters explanatory of the changes
made by Congress at the last session in the
rates of postage. On and after July the rate
on all domestic first-class matter, including
drop-letters at letter carrier offices, will be two
cents per ounce or fraction thereof, instead of
two cents per half ounce. This change will ap-
ply to mail addressed to Canada, but not to
other foreign mails. To provide for wants that
may arise from the change In the rate on sec
ond-class matter or newspapers mailed by pub
fishers from two cents to one cent per pound
the department has decided to issue a newspa-
per and periodical stamp of the denomination
Of one cent, the design and color of which will
be the same as those of the present series.
They will be ready for issue on June 1. The
Postmaster General has not yet found time to
outline plan for giving effect to the Congress
iona enactment providing for the use Of ''spec-
ial delivery stamps at specified Post Offices.

Baltimore, April %, 1885. At the meeting of
the Maryland State Temperance Alliance to-day
1t WAS determined to start again prohibition
party in Mary land, and committees on organ
ization and platform were appointed What
will be the result cannot be foretold, but the
expressed impression of many of the members
is that it will be the repeal of the local option
laws in most OF the counties where there is
now no license for the sale of liquors.
In other words, that the doors will be opened
for rumselling where the traffic had been sup
pressed. 1t is evident that a distinction will
have to be made between the prohibitionist and
the temperance man. The temperance man be-
lieves in prohibition of the liquor traffic, but
certain so-called prohibiton,ts evid ntly be-
lieve in prohibiting the suppression of rum
selling.
