Transplanting Evergreen Shrubs.
American Agriculturist


Many failures occur from lack of pro-
per treatment at transplanting. There
is no more beautiful shrub than our ma.
tive Laurel" Improperly SO called, as
it is not Laurel), Kalmia latifolia, also
called calico Bush." IL is very rarely
seen in cultivation, and there is gener-
al belief that it S'upot be trans planted
from the woods, tut that if we would
have it in our grounds we must get
nursery grown trees. We know of a
great admirer of this shrub, who import.
ed it from an English nursery, while it
grew by thousands within a few miles of
his place. Yet this shrub can be trans
planted as a willow, il one will, at trans
planting 1t, cut it back 70 remove every
leaf. This appears like severe treatment
but unless one will cut the beautiful shrub
back to naked stem, he had better leave
it where 1t grew for 1t will surely fail
Treated thus success Is as certain as with
any other shrub. In due time the naked
stem will break producing an eabund
ance of new shoots, and by autumn will
be supplied with abundant foliage Hag-
ing done this, and seen il done BY Others
il may be tried with full confidence of
success. We have no doubt that other
shrubs of this class if on their removal
from the nursery they were treated in
the same msuner, would succeed more
frequently than they do now. Yet few
KAYE the courage, when they pay dollar,
more or less, for shrub, TO mutilate it
in this manner. Still, i is worth trying.

BprwEEN the stone bridge nj Johnstown
aud the junction of the Conemaugh and
Stony creek there is about three acres of
water that Ia being cleared of wreckage by
blasting, and IL is believed that the bottom
of this pool is covered with wcighty articles
of value which might be recovered by
dredging, though the water tx twenty-siN
feet deep In some places. The Pittsburg
Dispatch says that this deep scour in the
bed of the creek was made by the passage
of u powerful current developing under the
drift, which for a time during the highest
water did not touch the bottom. The APP
pearance OF the great boulder bars in tho
bed of the stream Immediately below the
bridge tends TO support this conclusion. II
has often been observed that the formation
of gravel and boulder bars below ice gorges
is caused by powerful bottom currents
excayating the bed of the stream beneath
the packed ice At Johnstown instead of
ice there was a timber gorge.
The Dispatch SAYS that Colonel 4. Il.
Roberts argues that it will not do To delay

Father and Son.

Lon. Mcclure notices in the Times the
statement of the Record that Senator
Cameron will not be IA candidate
for the Senate again, being tired of
political life, in which he has only
staid to please his father; after
whose death he would please himself.
Col. Mcclure says that while Senator
Cameron may have so talked lately, II
is not probable that he will continue of
this mind and he relates how several
years ago, when unwell and weary, he had
stated in the Times Office that he in-
tended to leave the Senate but he went
to Europe and returned invigorated aud
with another notion. So Col.
Mcclure says that Simon, the
father, repeatedly vowed that
be would abandon political life
but this was in the hour of disappoint.
ment, and another sentiment soon re-
placed this. The intimation of Col Ne
Clure's observation is that the politician
does not easily abandon politics, espe-
cially when he has fair show of win
ming, and that it particularly does not Ii,
In the Cameron blood to drop anything
Simon dropped the Senate, but dropped
1t into Don's mouth +; and Don, the col
onel says, was the author of many of his
fathers most desperatelyfought victories
and he gives it as his opinion that he
was the better politician and he has
no idea that Quay will put down his
horns TO him or that Don will run away
from them.
II Is interesting and new to hear this
opinion OF Senator Cameron's political
capacity. The encomium, translated
into plain words, simply says that h,
4 was better buyer than his sire; but
the general idea has been than in thil
point the father had no peer in Pennsyl
s vania.
