In 1848 Kelvin Izod O'Doherty wrote
series of very trenchant articles, CRITICS

For these he was tried on q charge of
treason three times, until jury convicted
him. Then he was sent to Van Dieman's

received an unsolicited pardon in 1865,
moved to Queensland, and rose to great
distinction in his profession as a physi-

and last Thursday he took his seat amid
great enthusiasm, in Parliament, to which
he had been unanimously elected. Gu

How Protection Protects.

NeW lOrk plmeS.
Some very interesting testimony to the
benefcent workings of the policy of pro.
lection was given at the hearing on Mr..
Morrison's Tariff bill before the ways and
means committee on Saturday. The re-
duction of the tariff on wooden manufac-
lures was earnestly opposed by several
manufacturers, who declared that the
business was not in q condition to survive
any meddling with the barriers which
now exclude foreign competition. Under
examination, however, these manu-
facturers admitted that the main reason
why they could not afford any reduction
of the duties on manufactured wcolens
was that they were compelled to pay
high duty upon the foreign woods used by
them, which were not to be procured in
this country. A Hartford. manufacturer
said that the wooden factories in this
country could not be sold now for more
than one-fourth of their original cost, a
statement which reveals in a strong and
suggestive light the actual workings OF
protection in sustaining American in

smooth, and all stones, big or little, taken
from the surface. The seed may now be
sown, and 1t should be of thick, fine
growing varieties, such as are employed
in Central Park and other pleasure
grounds. Mr.. Samuel Parsons, Jr., Sup
erintendent of Central Park, writes me |,
1.-THE best grass seeds for ordinary lawns
are mixture of red-top and Kentucky
bluegrass, in equal parts, with perhaps a
small amount of white clover. On very
sandy ground prefer the Kentucky blue
grass, as IL Ia very hardy and vigorous

sown and raked in the seed very lightly. a
great advantage will be gained in passing

succeeded we'll in getting good "catch'
of grass by sowing the seed with oats,
which were cut and cured as hay as soon
AZ the grain was what is termed sin the
milk" The strong and quickly growing
oats make the ground green in few days,
and shelter the wer-maturing grass
roots. Mr.. Parsons says, II prefer to
SOW the grass seed alone" As soon
as the grass begins to grow with
some vigor, cut it often, for this
tends to thicken it and produce the vel
| vety effect that is so beautiful. From
the very first the lawn will need wedding.
The ground contains seeds of strong
growing plants, such as dock, plantain.
&c., which should be taken out as fast as
they appear. To some the dnndelion is a
weed, but not to me, unloss it takes more
than its share of space, for always miss
these little earth stars when they are
absent. They intensity the sunshine
shiinmering on the lawn, making one
smile involuntarily when seeing them.
Moreover, they awaken pleasant memories,

no part is defective experience.
In late autumn the fallen leaves should
be raked carefully away, as they tend to
smother the grass if permitted TO lie until
spring. Now comes the chief oppor-
tunity of the year, in the form of liberal
top dressing of manure from the stable.
If this is spread evenly and not toe
thickly in November, and the coarser re-
mains of it raked off early in April, the
results will be astonishing. A deer
emerald hue will be impaired to the
grass, and the frequent cuttings required
will soon produce turf that yields to tn,
foot like Persian rug. If the stabl,
manure can be composted and left til
thoroughly decayed, fine, and friable, al
the better. If stable manure can not b,
obtained, Mr.. Parsons recommends Mapes
fertilizer for lawns.
