Fruit-growing as a Business.

Fruit-growing, as a business, is espe
cially adapted to some regions, and to
some restricted localities. This truth,
in relation to certain kinds of fruits, is
well comprehended, but, regarding
others, less attention is given to it than
good judgment demands. Outside of
certain well-defined areas no one would
think of planting peach orchards and
vineyards for profit; and more than this
within the past fifty years tho adapta-
bility of certain localities for the profit
able production of these fruits has
greatly changed, in many cases the re-
suit, probably, of decreasing large
tracts of country.
There is too much indiscriminate adj
vice given by the press in regard to fruit
raising. Again, tree dealers and nur-
sery agents, seeking a market for their
wares, circulate wild statements about
the profits of the industry, and at a
time like the present, when the prices
of grain are low, it is not difficult for
them to induce numerous persons in
almost every community, who have not
special fitness or experience for the
work, to undertake, at least in a small
way, the planting OF orchards or small
fruits. 1t requires no highly gifted
seer to perceive that most of these
efforts will be abortive. The fact is, the
wrecks of ill-conceived fruit plantations
are strewn over the whole country.
We have no desire to say word that
may discourage any one from engaging
in fruit culture who will attempt it in
rational and busincss-like manner; but
we would warn the inexperienced to
look on both sides of the subject, and
it has two sides, one of which is not the
rose-colored one that is usually painted
by newspaper writers.
The fruit-grower needs to have a
courageous heart, and an Astounding
faith in his pursuit. He has numerous
enemies with which to contend and to
conquer; unfavorable seasons are not
infrequent; numerous insects and para
site fungi are constantly disputing pos
session of his plants, trees and fruit; q
general business depression, or an ex-
cessive supply of fruit often deprivcs
him of all or nearly all profits But
these difficulties are probably not
greater than those attending many
other pursuits. - Vick's Magazine.

President Arthur In Wisconsin.

General Henry N Strong, now living
IN Milwaukee. claims to have been a
classmate of President Arthur, and saws
that the President once taught school
at GAINESVILLE, Wis.-The Inter Ocean.
General Henry N. Strong does not
state facts when he says that President
Arthur once taught school in GAINESVILLE,
and his presence in the city for few
days is accounted for in this wise:
Away back in 1857, when Mr.. Arthur
was ayoung man. being q years of age,
he concluded to move westward, and
hearing that GAINESVILLE was a thrifty
and a promising city, came here to look
over the field. He had been admitted
to the bar of New York, and, in fact,
had tried the celebrated Lennon fugi-
tive slave case against the famous
Charles O'Conor, and won, so that he
was not without reputation at the AGE
of u, when he came to this city. At
that time the bar of GAINESVILLE was
noted for its strength. A. Hyatt Smith,
IL. S. Conger, Judge David Noggle, j.
A. Sleeper, Judge j. r. Bennett, and
j. II. Knowlton were then prominent
and successful in practice. Associate
Justice Cassoday. of the Supreme Court.
was the same age as Mr.. Arthur and
when the latter came here in July, 1857,
Judge Cassoday had been but short
time in the city, and had not fully made
up his mind to stay. He met the future
President several times while the latter
was here looking for place to open an
office. The prospects were not flattering
for the young attorney, and after spend
ing two weeks in GAINESVILLE and becom-
ing pretty thoroughly acquainted with
Isaac Noodle and Charley Jordon he
concluded there was no opening here
and returned to New York. This is, in
brief, the story of President Arthur's
visit to GAINESVILLE in 1S57.-JaaesUilte

The Benders Recalled.

Mrs. Willis Williford, a widowed lady
OF Athens, lost her youngest brother at
the hands of the Blenders. who figured
so prominently in the annals of crime
few years ago. This young man liv-
ed in Kansas, about forty-eight miles
from the Blenders. and taking with him
several hundred dollars in money. he
started for the frontiers with the in
tention of specializing in land. He
travelled in two-horsc wagon, and it
seems that on the second day he reach
ed the cabin where the Blenders ran
hotel and sort of saloon. He was abb
sent so long that his family grew I'M
easy, and instituted search for him,
but the missing man could not be
traced beyond his second days travel
While the Blenders were looked upon
as bad characters, nothing criminal
was known against them, and hence
no suspicion of foul play at their hands
was entertained. 1t was year and
half after his disappearance that sever
al travellers stopped at the Bender
house, among them lady, who was
put to sleep in an upper room with
small window overlooking an orchard.
During the night she was aroused by
some noise outdoors, and looking out
saw several persons burying an object
The moon gave pale light, and to her
horror she discovered that the parties
were interring human body. She
was near enough to hear what they
said, and discovered from their CONVEX
sation that they had just murdered one
OF their guests, and intended TO attend
10 the lady next. She was thoroughly
frightened, but managed somehow to
escape into the woods, and make her
way to the nearest settlement, where
she told her story. A posse was at
once organized, and started for the
scene of the murder. but the Blenders
had evidently gotten word of their dis
covcry and only vacant house was
found upon the arrival of the officers.
The romantic escape of these criminals
Is too well known TO be related by US.
They have never been captured, and
doubtless escaped for good, although
numerous reports of their caiDfure and
death have been published In search
ing the house a trap-door was found
near the bar counter, which was sprung
when a stranger stepped upon it, throw
ing him into dark cellar Here he
was knocked in the head by the father,
while his daughter would cut the vic
TINS throat with knife. The body
was then buried in the orchard, and the
spot plowed over so as to obliterate all
signs of grave. In this orchard was
found the bodies of ten grown persons
and one child, all with their skulls
crushed and threats cut. Mrs. Will
ford's brothers body was recognized
by the color of the hair and garment
buttons, although it had been eighteen
months since he was buried. Athens

Death Of the Musician Damrosch.

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-Dr. DAM
rosch, the distinguished musician of
this city. was taken i'll Tuesday and
died yesterday shortly after O'Clock
The cause of death was pneumonia.
DR.. Damosch's death was not antici-
pated, and even the fact that he was
i'll was not generally known to his
friends. He was an accomplished
musician, devoted to his art for its own
sake, and had the highest standards of
what should constitute excellence in
musical performances. He has given
more unseltish and disinterested service
to the promotion of musical culture in
New York possibly than any other man.
He was just getting into position to
make his influence more fully felt
throughout the whole country when this
fatal illness overlook him. Under these
circumstances his death is public and
general loss.
The funeral was held in the Metro
politan opera house in New York,
where Henry Ward Beecher and Felix
Adler delivered addresses.

The Destruction of the Homestead.

The old ''gambrel-roofed house, ex-
lists no longer. / remember saying
something, in one of series of papers
published long ago in this magazine,
about the experience of dying out of
house-of leaving it forever. as the soul
dies out of the body We may die out
of many houses. but the house itself
can die but once; and so real is the life
of house, so real TO one who has
dwelt in it, more especially the life of
the house which held him in dreamy
infancy, in restless boyhood, IN pas
sionate youthso real, say. is its life
that it seems as if something like
soul of it must outlast its perishing
frame.
The slaughter of the ''old gambrel-
rooted house" was, am ready to adj
NIT, case of justifiable homicide. Not
the less was it to be deplored by all
who love the memories of the past.
With its destruction are obliterated
some of the footprints of the heroes
and martyrs who took the first steps in
the long and bloody march which led
us through the wilderness to the prom
ised land of independent nationality.
Personally, | have right to mourn
for it as a part of my life gone from
me.-Dr. Holmes IN the atlantic.

Outdoor Life.

Man seems planned for outdoor life
in mild climate, with just leaf or
two Of shelter for a rainy day. His
nature will bend for time to the con-
ventiunal burdens of an artificial civili-
cation, but replant him on first princi-
Piles in the outdoor garden of life and
his recuperative forces viii rebound
with the elastic energy of steel springs

would lose caste were they to use their
neighbor's secondhand clothing, but
they viii daily try to purify their own
blood with their neighbours second
hand or ten-times used breath, poisoned
as it always is, even when exhaled BY
young and healthy persons. Man, in
common with other warm blooded
creatures, generates surplus of heat
within his body. Outdoor sleepers find
that no matter how cold the surround
ing air may be, If dry, enough Of the
outflowing heat may be damned back
and retained by suitable clothing to sus-
tain the vital functions in health and
comfort. Until domestic art can supply
our lungs with cool, first-mortgaged
air, in warm rooms, its votaries will
have an important problem to solve.
In the meantime out-campers and
howell dwellers will wear the best

Terrible Death hY Fire.

PHILADELPHIA, February 21.-A fire
broke out between and o'clock this
morning in the house of John A. King.
No. 1859 Pine street. The flames made
rapid progress. Three dwellings were
destroyed. The occupants of Kings
residence were asleep in the upper
stories and were aroused by the heat
and smoke only to discover that the
usual means of egress was cut off.
They ran to the windows and most of
them jumped out. King appeared at
the fourth story window and was seen
to make an effort to jump, but was
overcome by the heat and fell back into
the flames. His charrcd body was
found after the fire was extinguished.
Three people who jumped to the ground.
two female servants and sister OF

King appeared at window crying for
help. A mattress was held by the fire.
men and she was told to drop her baby
first and then jump herself. She did so,
and received severe but not dangerous
injuries. The baby was killed.
The body of Mrs. Hamilton, sister of
Mrs. King, has been recovered. The
Kings were among the most fashionable
and popular people in the city.

Decline of the Nose.

Someone has invented process for
the reduction of large noses. The in
yentor was struck by the alleged fact
that noses on which speetacles are
worn are, as rule, small noses. He
thereupon formulated the theory that
the pressure of the spectacles on the
bridge of the nose interferes with the
free circulation of blood and that this
interference depriyes the nose of nour-
ishment and prevents its growth. In
accordance with this theory he now
proposes to reduce the size of any given
nose by placing a metallic clamp on the
bridge. This clamp, if worn every
night, will, as he believes, reduce the
largest nose to moderate proportions
within reasonable length of time.
There are two or three weak points
about this alleged invention. One of
these is that the theory on which it is
founded has no support in fact. Some
of our most eminent noses are those on
which spectacles have been worn for
lifetime, and among our smallest noses
are some on which speetdcles never
have rested. That spectacles of one
sort and another are worn much more
generally now than they were fifty
years ago, and that noses have un-
doubtedly grown smaller during the
same period, is undoubtedly true. but
it does not follow that there is any con-
nection between the two facts.
The gradual decline of the human
nose is the result of the introduction
and general use of handkerchiefs. The
Romans never used handkerchiefs, and
their noses. as we all know, were of
the largest and finest type. Moreover.
they were less liable to colds in the
head than are people of the present
time, snd their noses enjoyed almost
sinecure. As civilization advanced
northward from Italy the inhabitants
of the cold and variable climate of
northern Europe found that their noses
were constantly called into activity,
and as consequence the average
European nose fell below the Roman
standard. Within modern times the
handkerchief was invented, and new
and potent factor in the reduction of
noses thus came into existence. Con-
slant friction will wear away the hard
est stone, much more the soft and car
tilaginous nose. Under the friction of
handkerchiefs the noses of the present
century have steadily diminished, until
small noses are worn almost as much
as spectacles.
1t is question whether it is desirable
ever to reduce the size of the nose.
Greatness of intellect has in all ages
been closely allied to greatness of nose.
and the man who, having been gifted
by nature with a nose of true nobility,
should desire to dwarf it and his intel
lect at the same time, would deserve
no assistance in his foolish purpose

Hanging Makes the Muscles Rigid.

1t is strange how little steady press
ure on the windpipe affects people. Of
course it chokes them, but that is no
reason why they shouldn't be able to
move their limbs. They seem to lose
all control over their muscles and give
right in. remember case that oc-
cured in Brooky lie. Me-, when / was
a young man. A woman, the wife of a
wealthy sea captain, threw skein Of
yarn over the top ola open door one day
and sticking her head through the
blight that hung down doubled up her
knees so her feet could not touch and
remained in that position until she
choked to death. One would natural
ly think that when she became un-
conscious her muscles would relax and
allow her feet to drop to the floor, but
such was not the case. Hanging or
choking seems to make every muscle
as rigid as iron. Boston Globe.
