AFTER THREE YRAR&
A Newark Embezzler FINALLY Gets In she
Tolls,


NEWARK, May 29.--After one year Of
patient search, Detective Reeyer succeeded
in arresting Daniel NJ. James this morning.
james was indicted at the April, 1885, term
of the Grand Jury, on charge Of misap-
propriasing funds belonging to A. Perry
Baldwin, but as he left the city he was
never called to account The prisoner was
employed as a hardware drummer by Mr..
Baldwin, and the latter charged James with
withholding $500 belonging to him. James
claimed that the money was his own accord
ing to the terms Of contract, and there
fore refused to deliver it to Mr.. Baldwin.
The matter was then placed before the
Grand Jury, but before the indictment was
found, James had left. Detective Reeyer
has been on q constant lookout for him,
however, and about one month ago he
located him in New York, since which time
he has been shadowing him. He got on his
track this morning and followed him from
New York to this city, and arrested him at
the Chestnut street depot OF the Pennsyi-
yania Railroad Reever was assisted by
Officers Boylan and Collins.
Mr. Baldwin declined to speak of the
matter when interviewed by reporter this
aftereoon. James, who is a good-looking
young man, is not averse to talking on the
subject, and says that the $500 was his OWE
money Charles M. Theberath agreed to
pay oDe-half Of James's travelling expenses,
the latter claims, and can make the account
good with Baldwin James said that in
stead of going TO Theberath for the money,
he made use of q portion of what he received
from sales, which he ordered to be charged
against his expense account. Mr.. James ID
to be tried on the indictment.

Rotation.


%The continued raising Of one crop
upon the same soil exhausts the kind
of plant food needed by that Kind Of
plant. Some. plants have long roots,
others short ones, by changing, the nu-
triment is drawn from different parts
of the soil Some plants draw their
sustemnce largely from the air, store
up nutriment and leave it in the soil.
This class of plants usually have broad
leaves; clover, peas and beans are OF
this class. Wheat, corn, oats, and
those plants having a few narrow
leaves, are exhaustive to the soil. Up
on II sandy loan the following is a
plan for rotation first year, meadow
second summer, fallow; third, wheat ;
fourth, corn, and all the undecomposed
manure. Sow rye at the last cultiva-
ton, pasture it in the fall and spring
fifth year, SOW oats or barley and seed
down. A the present prices Of sugar

cept for forage crop, for which pur-
pose it is excellent. and especially

Protecting Grapes From E0F.

The grape rot is now known to be a
fungus growth which attack the fruit
succsssively through the season. AS
the spores ripen they burst and spread
upon fruit not before affected. 1t is,
therefore, important to 60 through the
vineyard early, and cut ont all berries
that show any signs Of injury. A still
earlier preventive measure is to remove
all decaycd grapes, cuttings or other
rubbish from under the vines, and then
p.ow the ground 50 rs to turn under
the surface any that are aocIdently
missed. After the first plowing tie
ground should net be cultivated except
to destroy weeds. Stirring it deeply
would bring some Of the spores to the
surface of the ground, where they
would be blown about b. winds. The
use Of sulphate Of iron OF copperas in
water is also recommended as q spray
for the vines daring the growing SEA
son. By adopting these precautions
grape growing may be re-estab.tShed
even in localities where successive
years Of rottins had caused grape grow

Preserving Pos: Fence.

An En 1lish farmer writes: After
ali that has been advanced in favor Of
other compounds, it is very doubtfnl
for ordinary country work whether
there is anything Landier, cheaper or
more effective than common coal tar
for coating fences and other wood it is
desired to protect from the effects of
the weather. Much, however, will de-
pend on the way in which it is used
To cover moist wool with this sub
stance, whether it proceeds from the
natural moisture or atmospheric damp
hess, it is very bad policy. To insure
anything like success in the matter of
durability the wood to be operated on
must be as dry as possible. This, of
course, is equally true Of paint, bat 1t
is Of tar that We arc now speaking
When the wood vorA to be coated IS as
dry as can be, aud the tar applied hot,
there need be little fear that it will fail
IN its purpose. The chief difficulty lies
in the matter Of posts at the surface Of
the soil. Many plans have been tried
to overcome the decay which almost in.
varably sets in here first. Even here
tar is valuable but, according to the
experiments which have been made TO
test the best method Of applying it, it
appears that. the most satisfactory re
suits have been obtained when the wood
is charred. AS to the way in which
the charring should be effected, there
seems to be scope for ingenuity. One
gentleman has tried the plan Of first
coating the extrrmitics of the posts,
which are set in the soil, and then
burning the tar off again, This, it is
alleged, makes q surface which will re
sist decay. The cAarring should be
carried to some distance above the
ground level, and after the fence is
erected, The whole Of it above the
ground can be coated to make the APP
pcarance uniform. The plan Of first
heating the ends Of The posts and then
dipping them IA boiling tar is said to
answer we'll.

who is Never Quite sure Or Any
thing.
My son, if you can be positive | am
glad OF it. like to see man positive
| that he knows what he knews. l am
glad to hear you talk as though you
knew all about it. | do admire pos
tive character. Alas, therein do L
lack l am net skeptical, but am not
| positive man. | am not really positive
about scarcely anything. l have been
taught from childhood that two and
| two make four, and believe it, but IT
you rush at me and cross question me
and corner me about it, / will have to
own up that all know about it is what
the teacher told me.
l don't think my teacher would lie
about thing like that. If it were a
question Of millions now, there might
be some temptation to slip in a thousand
or two on poor ignorant fellow who
didn't know anything about it. | am
not positive when America was dis
covered nor who discovered it. There
are claimants all the way from the lost
tribes of Israel and Eric the Red down
to Oscar Wilde. How am to know
am not even positive when will pay
my debts. And this grevious lack of
positiveness lis there such a word p
makes me dread controversy.
/ had rather give in to positive man
week than dispute with him ten
minutes, because he is positive about
everything and l am positive in moth
ing. Why, after he has silsnced me l
am not positive that he is in the right.
l am not even positive that he is pos
tive. He says he is, but l don't know.
So / wait i am very patient, and
often it happens l may say it always
happens, that few days, few weeks,
few months, or a year, even-a year
is not long, shows that he was alto
gether wrong and that | was unques-
tionably right on every point.
Aud then how triumphantly / hunt
him up, and call up the whole question
again, and glory over him, and ride
over him rough shod, and say to him,
There; what did | tell you? Didn't
/ say so, Wasn't | right !! Didn't /
warn you? Didn't | know? Are you
convinced now, you pig headed old
| colossus of ignorance and presumption
| The next time / tell you thing is so
you'll know that it is so, whether it is
or not" That's triumphant for you
my bey.
But alb me, so often greive over my
lack of positive conviction. Do you
cultivate positive character, my son.
Add when you know it about all come
down and stay few days with me.
I'll try to lead you into few ambiguous
pits which | have vaguely dug here
and there about my apocryphal grounds
in an indeterminate sort of way for my
absolute friends to fall into.
