America Criticised.

An English writer in the London
World thus gives his view of the aspect
of life in the United States: What is
simply the plutocratic spirit here be-
comes the blind devotion to Mammon
there. In England wealth goes for
good deal. In America Wordsworth
line, "The wealthiest man among ue
is the best" is literally true. In Lon
don we are tolerably fond of display,
but the splendor of Bclgravia or May
fair is completely eclipsed by the ag-
gressiycly ostentatious prodigality of
New York. The life Of American
towns OF any pretensions is infected by
the most fragrant vices, while it may
present some of the idiosyncratic mer-
its of old and new civilizations. Cor
ruption and magnificence go hand in
hand. Side by side with moral de-
depravity there is a glittering and
shameless cynicism, boundless pro-
fusion and an illimitable cupidity.
Imagine the mingled horror and con-
tempt with which the simple, God
fearing Washington would have grazed
upon the group of carpet-baggers,
spectators. libertines. lobbyists, mil
lionaires, who are the chief personages
ton was the father of American indie
pendence. and in this sense the father
of great nation but he may also be
said to have laid tho foundation-stone
OF a vast human dollhouse. He could
not foreseo the vast rapidity of growth
which would mark the stock it contains
the more than tropical luxuriance of
the foliage, the monstrous dimensions
to which seemliness and unseemliness,
beauty and deformity, vice and virtue,
would both be carried. Libya, writes
Tacitus. is always producing something
new. What Africa was in the days Of
the historian, America is now. 1t is
the region of portents and prodigies,
OF big booms and gigantic frauds, of
''rings' of terrific girth. and of mot
ives and actions of extraordinary little
ness; of incomes exceeding the dreams
of Asiatic potcntates, and of vice and
misery unspeakable; of monstrous
births, two-headed nightingales, APP
palling twins, giants, pigmies, bearded
women, and all of the other abomina-
tons which can claim kindred with
humanity.
The polite and travelled American, as
we meet with him in the best society of
London or Paris, is simpering dandy
or an effete buck. He is a collector Of
artistic gems, of bric-a-brac, of pict-
ures; he affects an inordinate love of
Venice; he writes the dainty English of
the new aesthetic school; he finds
Thackeray and Dickens too full-favor-
ed to suit his taste; and-as the weak
headed academic exquisite. heaves
sigh of disgust at the very idea of COM
mon-room port, and can drink only the
ightest of Rhenish wine, largely temp
cred by Apollinaris-he protests feebiy
that the purity of his taste is such that
he can only tolerate Mr.. Henry James
or MIR. w. ID. Howells. His mincing
manner reproduces the inanities and
affections of all the countries of which
he has had experience. His twang is
his own; his bearing and presence are a
compromise between the Paris muscadin
and the London masher Yet, though
he may devote his existence to wander
ing over the European world, he is SCI
dom able to divest himself of an innate
provincialism.

Day and Night

During an acute attack of Bronchitis,
ceaseless tickling in the throat, and an
exhausting, hacking cough, affiict the
sufferer. Sleep is banished, and great
prostration follows. This disease is also
attended with Hoarseness, and some
times Loss of Voice. 1t is liable to be-
come chronic, involve the lungs, and
terminate fatally. Ayers Cherry Pecto-
raj affords speedy relief and cure in cases
Of Bronchitis. 1t controls the disposition

DEEP FLOWING.
A Work That Should Always Be Pre-.
coded by Thorough Drainage.

A Work That Should Always Be Pre-.
coded by Thorough Drainage.
The roots of plants feed near the sur
face. That is, they derive the solid
portions of the plants from the upper
soil, and the water from below To
procure the necessary quantity of
moisture the young plant sends down
a long tap root until it reaches a point
where water may be obtained. But all
plants prefer pure water, or such as is
free from fermentation. Like animals,
plants will eat many substances that
are seemingly unfit for food, but pure
" alter is essential. If the wafer below
is contaminated, or contains substances
that are injurious, the plants.will suffer.
This may be noticed in the growing of
cranberries. For many years it was
supposed that all that was necessary in
growing cranberries was to OCCASION
ally cover the field with water, but it
was discovered that while the flooding
of the crop was right and proper, only
pure running water answered the pur-
pose. The great difficulty with shallow
blowing is that it requires a longer
time for the subsoil to- become warm.
BY deep blowing the air enters, while
the surplus moisture evaporates. Sub
soiling was once recommended as abso-
lutely necessary ON all farms, and such
is true, but subsoiling will do no good
unless the soil is well drained. First
drain the land thoroughly, and then
subsoil, which is done by blowing the
top soil with a two-horse plo'v and fol-
lowing with subsoil pillow. This does
not turn up the subsoil but simply
brushes or breaks it to pieces, thereby
permitting the rain to quickly descend
to greater depth and to assist in re-
tanning moisture by absorption. The
surplus water being drained off, and
the soil and subsoil rendered fine, the
ground not only becomes warm, but
Che moisture is held for the use of the
plants much longer, and a larger pro-
portion of plant food is consequently
dissolved. The roots, having an OPP
portunity to 90 deeper, bring up the
plant food from below and thereby use
the Subsoil, and the warmer and finer
this subsoil the easier the work is ac-
complished, and while it is not advis-
able to turn up the subsoil and mingle
it with the soil, the roots of the plants
will gradually and surely bring to-
gether all the fertilizing elements by
storing them in the plants, which, be-
ing reapplied to the surface soil in the
shape of manure, afford larger pro-
portion of available food the coming
season. Farm, Field and Stockn1ars

WHAT RUM DEMANDS.
More Than One Way of "Getting the
Drop" Il Man.

Drop ON Man.
Getting the drop on him. is 4
phrase which. among the lawless
pioneer miners, and among the lawless
generally, means that the one party
has his gun cooked. aimed and ready
to fire before the other has time TO
draw his weapon. The man who has
the drop against him has sudden
choice to surrender and be disarmed,
or die He is at the mercy of his
enemy. 1t appears from the following
conversation, reported to us by a
friend, as occurring between two Chi
cago Irishmen, that there is more than
one way of getting the drop on a man:
'::Come in, Patrick, and take a drop
of something"
mo, Mike 1 am afraid of drops
ever since TIM Flaherty died "
''Well, what about Tim?'
'He was one of Inc likeliest fellows
in these parts. But he began the drop
business in Barney Shannon's saloon.
1t was just a drop OF something out of
bottle at irst. But in a little while
Tim took Jew drops too much, and
then he dropped into the gutter. He
lost his place, he lost his money, he
lost his hat and coat; he lost every
thing but his thirst for strong drink.
Poor Tim! But the worst is vet to
come. He got crazy with drink one
day and killed man. And the time /
saw him he was just taking his last
drop with a alipping-noose around his
neck. l have quit this dropping bust
ness, Mike. | have seen too many
good fellows when whisky had the
drop on them. They just took drop
from the bottle, then they dropped into
Che gutter and they dropped into the
grave. No rum-seller can get the drop
on me any more; and if you don't drop
him, Mike, he will drop you
The whisky business is a lawless dos
perado. 1t tries to get the drop on
boys and girls. on men and women, on
politics, politicians and officers, on The
Government and on the country. The

demand: .'Your money or your life

The brown leaves on strawberry
plants are caused by fungus growth
and are evidence of disease. This
fungus, unlike most others, thrives in
high temperature, and, therefore,
some means of shading the plants is
advised to prevent it. The spread of
the fungus may be arrested by picking
off the leaves and burning them

"A. c. Hammond, secretary of the
Illinois Horticultural Society, has con-
fidence in plenty of manure for the
grape; he thinks there should be a
load of barn-yard manure the first year
to each square rod, which would be
one hundred and sixty loads to the
acre; and that from twenty rods thus
enriched, more grapes may be gathered
for series of five or ten years, than
from an acre grown on ordinary thin
