Worthy OF Cultivation.

The high-bush blueberry. writes
correspondent of the Boston Journal, is
another of the wild fruits that can be
introduced into our gardens to advant-
age. Although supposed to grow only
in cold, wet swamps, 1t is found on trial
to grow and bear well in the garden,
providing it be set where it will be par
TALLY protected from the hot MONDAY
sun, and the ground be well mulched
with leaves or some other cooling sub
stance This plant will not grow well
out in an open space, even though the
land be well cultivated. The sun burns
the fruit and destroys it The bushes
should be set near enough together to
completely shade the ground, or they
must be set the north side of board
fence, or in the shade of trees; but wher-
ever set it is a great protection to keep
the ground well mulched, much better
than to cultivate the ground In the
selection of bushes to set care should be
taken to get good varieties, as there is q
great choice in the flavor as well as size.
When 1t is found difficult to get good
varieties, take those that can be got
with the most ease and graft them with
the best that can be obtained; it is as
easy to graft the huckleberry as it is the
apple. The time will no doubt come
when nurserymen will keep choice
varieties of blueberry bushes; certainly
the time is not far distant when it will
be demanded of them. There appears
to be but one serious enemy to the blue
berry, which is the birds; they seem to
understand the difference between wild
and cultivated fruit and will always
give the preference to those that grow
in the garden, not even being willing to
wait until the fruit is ripe, but will eat
it as soon as the fruit begins to turn red.
The remedy is to cover with netting,
and the same can be used that has been
used to protect the strawb berry bed. The
bushes bear so abundantly that it is very
easy to cover all that a family would
need. By growing these berries the
family not only have the fruit so near
home that they can enjoy the luxury of
eating them from the bushes, but they
can have them fresh and welI-ripened
for a much longer season than they can
be found in the market When well
protected they will some seasons keep in
good condition on the bushes until Oc-
tober. A fruit that is so valuable as
this should receive more attention. 1t
should not only be more generally culti-
waited, but efforts should be made to i'm
prove it from the seed. No doubt this
could be done if the same efforts were
made that have been made to improve
the strawberry, grape, and other fruits.

She had not wanted his love because
the first love that she had given to any
man had been held more lightly than
the pleasures of nights carousal, than

had shut the springs of her nature

1elegraph Operators.

There evidently is one kind of busi-
ness for which women seem to be WE'LL
fitted, judging from the number engaged
in it, and that, says the N. Y. WOrLds
is telegraphy. Strolling about the city
and dropping into almost any telegraph
office from Harlem to the Battery thera
may be seen the female operator, and.
as general thing, she will be seen to-
be young and pretty and wide-awake to-
her business. She will sometimes have
about her a number of subordinates Of
the opposite sex in the form of callowi
youths and messenger boys, over whom
she queens it with right royal will and
an air Of authority that is charming to
behold. Generally these Young women
are very pleasant and obliging; only oot
casionally will one come across terror
whose very look will freeze him to the
marrow. However, they all seem to
give satisfaction to their employers and
to attend well to their work, and appear1
to be rapidly monopolizing the tele1
graphic business. Far out on the west
ern plains, wherever there is road sta
ton. almost invariably the traveller
sees a pretty lace or muslin curtain ad
the window, q bird cage hanging up
aloft, and some Towering plants on the
narrow sill. or a vine trained up oven
the red door (these stations ali along
the line of the road are painted a dull
dark red), and other signs of the femi-
nine presence, and if he looks out as the
train stops he will be nearly sure to see
bright, neatly-dressed, white-aproned
young women come to the door and
stand gazing out at the train, and
watching the passengers with half
pleased, half-sorry air. This is the To-
cal telegraph operator, who has taken
up her lonely life out here on the alkalf
desert amid the sage-brush, and whose
only glimpse of the world she has left
behind her is this brief acquaintance
with the trains which pass and repass
two or three times during the day.
These are true types, all of them. of our
brave American girl, whose courage is
equal to any emergency. .-,sj

THAT DIsooURrEous RECEPTION

1t would appear that when the new
Chinese Minister arrived in San Fran
cisco the other day, the collector Of Gus
toms at that port withheld proper court
estes of welcome from him and his
suite, and demanded their credentials
before permitting them to land. The
Secretary of State had forwarded in
structions to the collector to extend 70
the Minister and suite every proper
courtesy and attention due to the dip
lomatic representative of a foreign gov
eminent. These instructions, however,
appear to have been neglected by the
collector at San Francisco; and the new
Minister was detained for some time.
The action of the collector was at once
reported to the Secretary of State, who
had instructions wired to the collector
to promptly enforce the instructions
previously given in relation to the re
ception of the newM mister.
In the present state of public senti-
ment along our Pacific Coast respecting
the Chinese question, it is not likely
that the people would give very hearty
welcome to Minister from the Celes
tial Empire, but the conduct of the col
lector, who had received special instruc-
tons from the State Department to re
ceiye the new Minister with proper
courtesy, is truly reprehensible. II in
yestigation shall prove the detention OF
the Chinese Minister to be willfuI, the
collector should be fred out of his Of
fee. The United States government
cannot afford to be discourteous to for
eign ministers. So long as our friendly
relations continue with China, we must
insist that the servants of the govern
ment treat her ministers respectfully.
The collector of customs at San Fran
CISCO should be rebuked.

At Memphis, Tennessee. a few weeks

her purpose, and was prepared to accept

our future cit gems. Is there any piaus-
lille reason fos accommodating millions OF
productive capital. Into the dead
handr anu letting 10 increase every year
in geometrical proper ion, merely Tor
the purpose of fattening eye-roiling
hypocrites7 The same thing Is true OF
the hundreds of millions which have
been wruDg by the Catholics Pres by

sects from supcrsuucus people. This
capital works much more diligently and
surely than it doe in the hands OF pr

which rest upon tie property OF private

Just as heartless and soulless as worldly
corporations. Down with them all.
Our Federal government has opened mp
the way. Progress in that direction
cannot be held back.
If one did not know the source OF
such an emanation, and were ignorant
of the sentiments of the publishers Of
the paper, he would be excused for be-
Iieving that the writer intended to be
sarcastic and to have his words taken
in sense contrary TO their generally
understood meaning. But never were
more earnest words uttered than the
above. They breathe the true spirit OF
the radical socialists, who have respect
for nothing that is organized, moth
ing that is sacred. for no
rights save only those OF the person
in his individual capacity preying upon

tens.
But we reproduce the above merely
for the purpose of showing another OF
the many opinions regarding the pro-
priety of the provision in the Edmunds
bill TO confscate the property OF the
Mormon Church. The Catholics have
denounced the measure as wicked and
unconstitutional, and full of danger to
themselves. They understand that the
next raid by Congress upon the prop
erty of a church. may be against the
Catholics; that government control
over the property of a sect having been
assumed and made successful N one
instance, it viii be easy 10 re-
peat it, and soon the government
would be the director of religions
as it is of the administration
of the civil laws. Some of the Protest
ants have also seen the danger in the
bill, and protested against its passage;
but Protestants generally blind them
selves 10 the evil measure in their mad
zeal to destroy the Mormons. The
fanatics viii not look beyond the pres
ent, nor consider that change in Con
gress might result in the making of the

The introduction OF the provision
into the Edmunds bill, we believe, will
prove beneficial to the country. The
that it has excited has
brought plainly to view its evil posi-
bilities and probabilities; has shown |
its dangers and threats, and will doubt
less kill the bill itself.

GLADsroNE's SPEECH.
Time steals fire from the mind,
AS vigor from the limbs


AS vigor from the limbs
Byron may be correct as rule in that
statement, but the great speech of
Gladstone on the question of Home
Rule for Ireland is said by friends and
foes to be wanting none of that fire,
and but little of the vigor which in past
times electrified Parliament that
an exception to the poets rule must be
made in favor of the great English
Premier. His mind seems to have
lost none of its vigor.
The speech is variously commented
upon. The Morning Post Conservative
processes establishment at the crudity
of the plan, and thinks there is not the
remotest chance that any such scheme
will receive the sanction of Parliament.
The Daily Nelcs, on the other hand,
says: If the enthusiastic ringing on
both sides of the house is significant,
Mr.. Gladstone's scheme has already re-
ceiyed the approval of the House Cd
Commons"
1t is understood that ParEell gives his
approval TO Gladstone's plan; subject,
however, to a modification of its de-
tails.
Whatever may be the fate of the
scheme proposed by Gladstone for the
settlement of the Irish question, the re-
suit cannot be otherwise than adyanta-
geous to those favoring local self-goy-
eminent for Ireland. The Irish them
selves may object to the plan because 1t
imposes upon ireland the pay
ment of tribute to the Imper-
iaI Exchequer-a tribute, too,
to be collected in part ct least by excise |
duties; thew may further object because
one branch of the Irish Parliament /
would not be subject to the influence of |
the popular vote. England may object !
because she may fear that the financial /
proposals, tending to weaken the fiscal |
unity of the government, viii endanger
the unity of the empire: and may re-
gard the whole scheme as a
step in the direction of dis
of the British empire.
The plan Of Home Rule now proposed
may lead to the downfall of the Glad
stone ministry, and a split in the Liberal
party, but it is only question of time
about Ireland enjoying the privilege of
local self-government. The correctness
Of that principle has long been
recognized, and its adherents have sud
denly received a grand augmentation
to their forces now that the English
Premier has committed himself and his
followers TO the policy of Home Rule
for Ireland.
