Mr.. EDITOR: We hear that Mr..
w. R. Myers will not suffer his
name to be run on the mongrel
ticket commonly called independent
ticket. If we republicans are to
support this ticket in body and
not run one of our own, we would
suggest that the committee com
posed of liberals independents and
republicans put at least half the
number of colored republicans.
Then we will support it cordially,
provided. that some one or two Of
the candidates are colored republi-
cans and provided furthermore that
these independents pledge them
selves publicly to support the whole
ticket, nego and all. Until this is
done we say away with the whole
thing, il is fraud and sell.

A Good Templar Rupture Settled

BosToN, MASS, Sept. 3o.-In
1876 a rupture occurred between the
American and English grand bodies
Of Good Templars, caused, as claim
ed by the English, by the question
OF the admission-of colored people
into the order. Since that time
there have been two international
courts, one mainly American and
the other mainly English, each hav-
ing branches. Overtures for the re-
union of the two sections resulted in
a conference in this city during the
present week, between representa-
tives of each section, at which the
matter was fully discussed. 1t was
decided that no applicant for mem
bership could be rejected by lodge
on account of race or color, nor
could lodges deny visitations on
such accounts.
Several other matters were dis
cussed and harmonious action was
taken upon them all. 1t was re-
solved that the two Supreme Courts
the K. G.. w. I.odges-should
each hold its next session at Sara
toga on the fourth Tuesday Of May,
1887, the two bodies to meet sepa-
rately to complete unfinished bust
ness and then meet unitedly and be-
come one body.

irape Wines from Cuttines.

No kind of wood will more easily grow
from the eye than the grave vine. For
this reason the rapid propagation of new
varieties is a very easy matter. The nur-
seryman uses single-eye cuttings in green
houses, and this is a very good way.
wherever bottom heat can be furnished.
But all this trouble and expense are not
needed, provided the right course is
taken and enough buds or eyes left on
the cutting. Even nurserymen do not
rely entirely on the single-eye method.
It is only used, in fact, for new varieties
when wood is scarce and it is desirable to
increase the vines as fast as possible. Gut
tings set in the open ground should be
prepared early in the spring, leaving two
or at most three eyes on piece. The
lower part must be cut off square at the
bulge where bud has formed. Then
remove this lowest bud with sharp knife
SO as to make clean cut. Leave the
top eye just at the surface of the soil,
which must be packed around the lower
part very closely. Plant in rows
three feet apart, and run the cul-
tivator through once week TO
keep weeds down. Plant cuttings
six to eight inches apart in tho row,
and keep down weeds with the hoe. If
the season is fairly favorable four-dfths
of these cuttings will make strong
rooted plants by July 1. There is
no need of being discouraged about
those that at this time show no signs of
putting forth shoot. Pull one up and
you will find the bottom calloused and
fine, white, thread like roots from 1t. In
such cases the shoot will usually start
from the eye below the surface. Where
the first eye starts and grows the one be-
low it also grows. In the fall or next
spring one of these sprouts must be cut
of, and the other trimmed down to .
single eye. By this method farmers and
others can easily and cheaply supply
themselves with as many grape vines as
they wish, and of the best varieties.
Four-fifths of all the grapevine growth
of the previous season must be cut of
this fall or next spring, and 1t can
usually be had for nothing. A few very
hard-wooded and close ointed grape
vines do not root easily. Eumelan and
Delaware are samples of these: but it is
only necessary to take little longer cut
ting and plant at an angle of forty-fivc
degrees in the ground. This will keep
the bottom of the cutting within reach
of the air and warmth. No manure Is
necessary; in fact, it is positively hurt
full It's heating forces the buds too
rapidly, and may cause the bottom Of the
cutting to rot, instead Of putting forth
roots, CttltirGtor.

The Generals Scarf Pin.

It is related of General Won Manteuf-
fel, the late German Military Governor Of
Alsace. who hated all that was French,
that he once at public dinner engaged
in dispute with French diplomat who
maintained the superiority Of the French
workmen over the artizans of all other
nations. "A thing so ugly does not ex-
list that the skill and genius Of French
msn cannot make 1t thing Of beauty"
he said. Angered by this contradiction,
the old soldier pulled hair from his
bristly gray mustache, and, handing il to
the Frenchmsn, said, CURLY; ''Let him
make thing Of beauty out Of that, then,
and prove your claim" The Frenchman
took the hair and sent II in letter to q
we'll known Partisan jeweler, with .
statement Of the case and an appeal 70
his patriotic pride, giving him no limit
Of expense in executing the order. A
week later the mail from Paris brought q
ueat little box for the General. In il was
handsome little scarf-pin made like q
Prussian eagle, that held in It's hands .
stiff gray bristle, from either end OF
which dsngled a tiny gold ball. One was
inscribed Alsace, the other Lorraine. and
on the eagles perch were the words;
