Weak fruit trees should now be staket
and propped up. A tour OF inspection
should be made through the orchards
occasionally.
A man fond OF lawsuits in which hi
may pose as plaintiff is little better
than common nuisance to any neigh
borhood that has the misfortune OF his
presence.
Grass being the foundation Of all sue
cessful farming il deserves first consid'
Grafton, but, unfortunately, receives less
than any other crop and is last in every
course, a rest rather than preparation
carefully planned.
You can cultivate your grass crops only
by preparing the soil well before sowing
the seed. As the condition Of the crop
depends upon the condition OF the soil,
the matter OF preparing the seed bed is
OF the utmost importance.
II has been demonstrated that while
the pinching back Of the shoots OF mel
Ons will induce the vines to throw out
laterals, and also produce larger num-
Der OF melons, the process does not in
crease the size OF the fruit.
A few nice lambs kept about the yard
will answer the purpose OF u lawn mower
and will grow into money at the same
time. 1t is an item to be able to get Il
market value out OF the grass that Isl gem
orally wasted around dwellings.
1t is utter folly to say farming doesn't
pay" but it is u fact that profits are not
us large as they would be with more
acute intelligence employed in the bust
ness, and with liberal preparation, which
is condition precedent to full success.
The great secret in making underdrain.
ing permanent improvement is in Sc
curing uniform fall when laying the tile,
and maintaining good outlet. When
this outlet has been closed a year or
two, il there be good fall, reopening it
will cause it to wash out obstructing
sediment.
Professor Ltner suggests that London

at that time the beetles does most dam.
age either poison, being soon changed
to an inert form in the earth, would in
all probability be harmless when the
radishcs should be ready for the table.

The proposed reduction Of SO ton
will reduce the advantage in freight in
delivery that American rails now have
from s. so to 81 80, making it onC.liftlI
of what it now is, consequently reducing
the present tariff radius OF 1000 to 20U
miles, that is the American rails at the
Chicago price could be delivered only
200 miles freight paid, to make them
equal to the price OF foreign rails at New
York, which with tariff added is SD.
The radius would also extend only 200
miles on the west. This would leave 500
miles on the east and $500 miles on the
west to be divided equally between the
American and the foreign, resulting in
800 miles on the east and 1850 miles on
the west, making q total from east to
west of $50 miles, at and within which
American rails could be bought and de-
livered cheaper than the foreign, and
would give the foreign 400 miles west
ward from our Eastern coast and ,15O
miles eastward from our westward coast,
making total OF 1850 miles, within
which the American rails could not
compete.
SO it will be seen that with our pres.
cnt tariff we have nearly so per cent or
four times as much territory as the for.
eign for market. The proposed reduc'
ton would reduce ours to nearly % per
cent and increase the foreign to nearly
10 per cent, or within one-tenth OF being
US much us ours.
With their present proportion the
English manufacturers sold last yeaI
nearly 10000 tons, which, ii they had
been furnished by the American, would
have given steady employment for the
year Tor nearly 5000 American work,
men, and would have circulated over
81, 100000 in this country instead OF i'll
England. Thus it will be seen that the
reduction may seem small, but its con.
sequences ARE great, and are almost al
directed against labor.

One of the most important bills before

One Of the most important bills before
congress is known as the ''Palmer Bill"
introduced by Senator Palmer of Michl-
gan, looking to the appointment or COM
mission with proper powers and appropria-
tions "for the speedy extirpation OF Pleuro-
pneumonia, foot and mouth, and other
contagious diseases of cattle. and domestic
animals" The enormous interests IN
volved make this a most important act,
and Virginia is so situated geographically
as to render her peculiarly liable to the
contagion, in that thousands of cattle
from Western and Southwestern States
are annually shipped across her territory
in transit to Eastern cities and Europe.
Steck cattle are brought directly from
Chicago to the feeding districts of our
State, and thoroughbred cattle are brought
from other States into our own for the
improvement of our stock. Thus the in
lection may at any time be introduced,
and when it is re Z embered that $40, zoe 600
is the aggregate value of her cattle, the
necessity for prompt and heroic treatment
to stamp ous scourge which paralyzss
the cattle industry and threatens one of
the chief foo1 supplies OF the Nation, is
plain.

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.

Since the legislature has been in session.
several propositions have been made there
to pension the widows of Confederate SOL
diers. 10 pension Confederate soldiers, and
the like. These propositions are both gen
erous and just. But to introduce them
seriously into the legislature without at
the same time 0ducing proposition
to raise the taxes to meet them, is neither
just nor generous. The bills that we have
seen introduced in that line, are such as
no man IN Virginia can tell the amount
that will be required to carry them out.
The movers of those bills are ungenerous
to the poor men and women in whose
hearts they raise false hopes, and unjust
to tie dominant party in the legislature
which must bear the blame of these wind
bag measures falling of success. If the
State of Virginia intends in good faith to
meet the interest under the Riddleberger
bill, she can pass 10 pension bill without
levying more taxes, and we'll informed
legislator ought to know that. If an
ambitious Democrat or Republican wants
to work the old soldier racket FOR his fu-
ture elevation by introducing pension
bills, he ought also to introduce a bill to
increase the taxes and get taste of the
old farmers racket in advance.

Il NECESSARY ACT,

This journal has always commended, since
the last decision Of the U. S. Supreme
Court on the Coupon Crusher, that
there was one. and hut one piece Of legis-
lation that the General Assembly ought
to enact, and that is law fixing time
that all funding under the Riddleberger
bill shall stop. We are glad to see that
Senator Koiner has introduced such bill
leaving it to the body to fix the date. The
date should be not far distant. Ali that
can be said, all that car be done, all that
can be known about the bondholders and
their intentions is on file. There can tie
nothing more to hear FROM the creditors.
and nothing more to be said by the State,
except for the Commonwealth to close up
the books, ] is a business operation and
should be done speedily and then, at last,
will the Debt Settlement be regarded as
Settled.

Mr.. Thoebe's friends contend chat bis
case had been ''shockingly managed by
his agents, and there are even intimations
of treachery. We rather sympathized
with the contestant at the opening of his
case, but neither the evidence produced
nor the spirit which was the motive of the
contest were such, when fully developed,
as to warrant giving the contestant an
other trial after he had failed in one.

A Poem by Gen. J. E. B. Stuart.

J. E. B. Stuart was a student at Emory and
Henry College, and one of his friends there
was Drake Sanders. Young Stuart kept an
autograph Album in which Sanders inscribed
his name with some words of friendship
Years after. when Lieutenant of cavalry on
the plains Stuart read over the album and
seeing Sanders inscription, dashed off the fol-
lowing lines and sent them to him. The
Wytheville Enterprise" now publishes them
e'These words of kindness, Drake, have found
Responses in my heart.
Oft when some sweet familiar sound
Its rapture would impart,
I've thought of you where Hudson's tide
Rolls onward to the sea,
And for those good old times have sighed,
So dear to you and me.
Five years have disappeared apace
Since those kind words wire writ;
On memory's slate we still can trace
The forms Of ''Ep " and Brit"
We little rocked that Cyrus was
A smart and wondrous lad,
If he could read each knotty clause
Till ''satis est Enough sald.)
I trust, though great the change has been
Since Zenophon we read,
Tho distant lands wander in
And both have grown more staid,
That steadfast friends We'll De thro' life
And tread once more the scene,
When I return from Indian strife,
On Emory's college-green.

THE ELLLS-HOUSTON CONTEST

THE ELLIS-HOUSTON CONTEST.
We are very sorry that the Democratic
Senators unearthed their right to ssinveg-
tigate'' the claims of Houston (Rep) to
his seat after Ellis (Dem had lost his
standing in the case, by not giving his op-
ponent-who got the returns-ten days
notice, as required by the State law. It
is something that may hereafter ba used
to great damage by body less scrupulous
than the present on3 is, But Ii. Gov
Massey, who cast the deciding vote in
favor of the Investigation Of Houston's
right to the seat, IS well as the Demo-
cratic Senators who voted with him, had
the Constitution and the right of it, The
Constitution makes each House the ex-
elusive judge of the election and qualiica-
tions of its members. and no law passed by
the leg stature can curtail or impair or
modify that right. II it were otherwise,
candidate through bribery might win the
return, his opponent be dead before the
Senate met and no one appear to contest,
and he might hold the seat. An unna-
turalized citizen the fact being unknown
at the election las was the case in the
House recently might be elected by so
large majority as to warrant no contest
at all by his opponent; the fact become
known long after the ten days expired,
and yet he could not be unseated if the
Senate could not exercise its constitution
al right to investigate his claim. There
are very many cases that might besupposed.
which would show the danger of admit
ting that the constitutional guarantee can
be impaired by State law. The State law
of ten days. notice binds the contestant,
but it cannot bind the constitutional
right Of the Senate.
But for all that it was an unlucky
find" or rather resurrection, and we are
afraid it will prove so with worse Senate
