Trimming Trees.

We look upon the roots as the parts
that nourish, but the roots are the
mouths through which food is taken.
1t is more correct to say that the stomach
nourishcs rather than the mouth, and the
leaves of the tree rather than the roots.
BY severely cutting back heads of trees
can almost suspend growth. Thus we
often leave branches that l know must
come off next season, simply to induce
growth of the part that Is TO remain
permanently. Some people seek to urge
the growth of scions in newly grated
trees by removing all large limbs. They
should remember that they thus remove
that which induces growth, and after such
severe slaughter many of the fibrous
roots will be found dead for if they
have no work to perform they become
feeble and short-livcl. We must dis
tlnguish the difference between trees and
vines. If VIC wish the grape to grow
vigorously we cut it back closely, for its
leaves are very large, and it has the
faculty Of covering trclIis with only
a few buds. Thus we cut fceblc-grow-
ing vines back more closely than strong
growing, for by close cutting we get
more foliage than by leaving canes long.
Therefore, in pruning trees the danger
lies in cutting too much, and with vines
in not cutting away enough. If you
wish the tree to spread, cut to an out.
side bud if to run higher and closer, to
an upper or inside bud. Leave no
crotches, as they are certain to break
when laden. Cut close to the shoulder,
but do not cut the shoulder. Remember
that he who does not trim at all gets the
most growth of tee, yet he who trims
often and wisely has the best orchard
and latest pockctbook. Fruit Recorder.

words of the chorus being preserved for the
convenience Of the assembled thousands of
veterans, who sang it with will.
The military parade, of which Col. Greene,
Of Hartford. was Chief Marshal, was one of the
events of the day. For over IN hour Main
street, whose length was lined with solid
bank of spectators on either side, was filed
with the marching column brilliant with gilt
tering muskets and fluttering banners. The
procession moved, with bands playing and colors
flying. up the hill, around the Capitol, and
down the broad way which leads to and under
the splendid arch Of the monument and across
the beautiful brown. stone bridge, which is in
reality part OF the monument, to Asylum
street. where dense crowds were already packed
closely on the sidewalks awaiting its coming.
Following the Marshal and his staff came the
escort of veterans, with COL w. L. Cane COM

ceased to resound through the land her banks
offered half million 10 the State for military
purposes. Gen. Hawley next carefully analysed
the results of the civil war. They showed how
false were the prophesies of the enemies of Re-
publican Goyernment-that it was incapable of
National unity and combined energy under
the severe strain. They prevented that divis-
ion Of the Nation which would have left the
path open for future wars, and would have
plunged hopeful Liberalism in Europe into
despair. A Southern Republic founded upon
slavery would have been moekery of the
name of liberty. The war removed the last
pretext for sectional hostility, and the Repub-
lie was reconstructed from its foundation. and
the glittering geueralities Of the Declaration Of
Independence became the accepted law and
constitutional universal liberty was established.
human slavery ended, the Union restored, the
doctrine Of secession condemned to death, and
the equality of human rights determined for
ever. Failure to maintain these things, the
speaker argued would be greater shame than
would have been n cowardly submission to re-
bellion at the outset. Gen. Hawley closed
with quoting from President Lincoln's men,
orable address at the dedication of the Gettys-
burg National Cemetery.

MORMONISM.
What Miss Field Would Have the GAR. DO.

Miss Kate Field, who is lecturing with great
success through Minnesota and Iowa, was pres
ent at the reception of the Grand Army in
Minneapolis, as the guest Of its newly elected
Commander, Gen. Fairchild, of Wisconsin.
During the evening Miss Field was called on
to speak, and as she rose was received with
great enthusiasm by the vast assemblage. In
speaking OF this magnificent reception after
ward to a reporter Of the Minneapolis Tribune,
Miss Field said
Il assure you am not talking about Nor
monsm for the love of the subject. A years
residence forced me to realize the meaning of
Mormon treason, and should DO false to dear
GENTLE friends and to profound conviction did
not tell the truth that is in me. Nothing has
delighted me SO much recently as the fact that
in going to San Francisco, thousands of men,
bers Of the Grand Army of the Republic halted
long enough at Salt Lake city to get such a
glimpse of the LatterD Day Saints as was un-
dreamed Of in their former philosophy.
In consequence of that glimpse the Grand
Army at Frisco passed resolution denouncing
Mormon treason aud calling upon Congress to
suppress it. If the 100000 members of the
GAR. will peacefully fight this battle of de-
mocracy versus a polygamous hierarchy. they
will win glorious victory second only to that
won in 1865 when slavery surrendered to
freedom. Three hundred aud fifty thousand
men earnestly in the right, calling upon their
Representatives in Congress to pass the Ed
munds Tucker Bill next session, can abolish
