Pear Tree Blight.

Prof. T. ]. Burrill, who has made
a special study of pear tree blight,
and who believes 1t is caused by
bacteria, that may be carried from
tree to tree upon saws or knives
used in pruning the trees, urges Or
chardists to examine closely for the
first appearance of blight, is indica-
ted by the leaves turning suddenly
brownish black, and to cut away all
diseased parts, being careful to cut
low enough to escape cutting into
the diseased wood. Two sets Of
tools are recommended, one for try
ing the condition Of the branches,
the other for making the final cut
ting in the sound wood. If the
same tools are used for both opera
lions, he would pass them through
the flame Of a lamp, or into some IL
quid that would destroy the bacte-
ria. He has repeatedly carried the
disease to healthy trees by innocu-
lation with the sap from a blighted
tree.-Farmer's Review.

The Governor Of North Carolina
has inaugurated new policy in re-
lation to the future of the negro.
Heretofore the whites have been
refusing and making rather violent
objections to the negroes emigrating
10 other states; but they have now
concluded that North Carolina is
not q profitable state for that race
Of people. So the Governor has
indicated his willingness to let them
remove to any part Of the country,
and says, while he is Governor he
will assist any of them to go who
have a desire to do so. There never
ought to have been any other policy
IN such states as Virginia, North
Carolina. Tennessee, Kentucky and
Missouri, as they are not profitable
states for the two races. The ne
gro race is better adopted to the ex-
IRENE southern states.

They Feared Him.

A Jonesbore (Ga., correspondent d
The Atlanta Constitution tells this
story on a resident called Uncle Rad
Morrow:
On one occasion when Uncle Rad
went on to Virginia with clothing and
homo cooked rations for the boyA ~
did not get there until late in the eve
ming and found the Tenth Georgia IN
line Of battle, 10 he concluded to stay
all night with the regiment, a. he had
frequently done.
That night about midnight TIE
long rolf sounded, and the alarm
was given that the Federals were a.
vancing by thousands; couriers and
aids were dashing hither and yon o.
dering all hands to look out and b
ready to advance at Q moments no
tice. Uncle Rad was In q dilemma,
but soon took in the situation. ID
called Justify for a gun and cartridge
box; they were furnished him, but in
the intense excitement Of the moment
he found the belt was too short q
reach around him and then be
thought that he could wear it over biz
shoulders like an old fashioned coon
skin shot bag.
This he did, and it drew the box d
cartridges close up to his armpitA q
that he would have to uaount q stumT
on tiptoe to get his hand to il. At Ian
he got himself rugged as a soldier, and
Strengthening himself to his full si1

The boys say that it was . falls

come, and Uncle Rad afRrms to thil
day that it was because they got vino
somehow that he was in line with th.

HOW IS IT OVER rHERE2

In free trade England, hundreds
of thousands Of hungry men are on
q strike. The Democratic papers
do not like to speak of it, as they
have been telling their readers that
the protective tariff was the cause
of strikes in the United States.
Over in England they have no ia
riff but all is beautiful free trade,
and it is found that men, women
and children get hungry and starve
there, where they say there is no
protection for money sharks; yet all
is not satisfactory over there where
the poor man gets about rs to 30
cents per day.

swoapF,sA KILLING.

How II Il Carried On by the Block Isi-
and and Connsetisut lGarinsrs.
There is both money and fun in
sword fishing. A few years ago few
Rshed for the big, willy, wicked and
solitary pirate fish Of the ocean; then
smacksmen chased him in their swift
craft for the sport the novel cruise at
forded to oilers at summer resorts,
who paid 81 head to see the fisher
men stand up to swordfsh and stick
harpoon into him. Finally, since
the dietary merits Of broiled swordfish
were recognized, swordflshing became
a steady and lucrative vocation.
New London, Stonington and espe-
cially Block island are the home Of
swordfishmen. To open the sword
fishing season it is necessary only for
o smacksman to fix board walk up to
the end Of his bowprit, where a little
cage is erected for the harpooner to
stand in and lash a long tailed harpoon
along the side Of the bowsprit; then he
is ready to cruise. He sails right out
toward the Gulf stream, twenty, thir-
ty or forty miles, near whose tepid
water the swordfish loves to float laz-
lily near the surface, his dorsal fin just
showing above and cutting the water
like the coulter Of a sod plow. The
smack swims smoothly up to the fin
and the harpooner drives his long ham
died trident into the big fish. To the
end Of the spar is attached by q strong
cord a floating bouy, which the har-
pooner let's 60 overheard as soon as he
strikes the fish. No sooner does the
fish feel the cold steel in his vitals than
he is of in q furious rush into the wide
ocean, dragging along the buoy,
which points out to the fisherman
the course he il taking. The smacks.
men sail after the Ash until he tires
himself out; then they will kill him
ct their leisure, lift him aboard, and
70 cruising for more game.
A smitten swordflsh does not al.
ways die ignominiously, and when The
notion pops into his head, a. Il fre
quently does, that he will make It live
" for the enemy, he is an ugly antag
onist. Twice last summer wounded
swordnsh drove their long, shasy
swords clean through the ddes O
smacks; and in one instance the veaDe
barely escaped going the bottom, tn
sea pouring in through the broken
planks. In another instance . BIZ
swordfish towed a smack sevssa
miles, the harpoon line being faytsnsl

CONFEDERATE REPUBLICANS.

IT is now question being dis
cussed as to whether q Confederate
soldier can act with the Republican
party. 1t is singular thing to dis
cuss. If the TINES was asked its
opinion it would say, certainly he
can-has perfect right to be Re-
publican. Hundreds and thousands
Of Confederates had no choice but
we're compelled to enter that SER
vice. But suppose they went into
the service voluntarily, yet they
could now with great propriety
unite with the Republican party, if
the principles of that party suited
them. And the Republican party
stands ready to receive them and
treat them with great respect, espe-
cially if they were brave, honorable
men. The question might as we'll
be asked, can man who has been
an unbeliever join the church after
he becomes a converted man? To
question the right ofone is as ridi-
culous as to question the right Of
the ether. We say to Confederate
soldiers, come into the Republican
party. The war is over and we are
all brethren again looking to the
triumph Of the great government,
and the peace and happiness Of the
people.
