Dick Turpin Outdone.

Claude Duval, Dick Turpin and
Black Bart have figured IN many a.
romantic story, but .ronn MITCHELL.
the Minnesota highwayman, beats
them all. 4
Mitchell was recently locked up in
the State rcformatory at ST. Cloud.
tie is remarkably handsome and
dashing young fellow Of about
twenty summers, and Mrs. Sands,
tho jailor's forty-year-old wife, lost,
her heart the moment she saw him.
Just how the affair was managed is
not known, but one dark night last
week Mitchell made his escape with
the lady and $50 of the iailer's money.
Every effort was made to capture
the fugitiyes, but it is believed that
they are safely concealed somewhere
in Canada.
Highwaymen have broken jail be-
fore, and escaped full-handed, but it
is new kink to find one daring
enough to carry off the jailersspouse.
1t is very evident that our sensa-
tional story writer's have not yet3exs8
hausted ali the possibilities in their
line Of work. Their most thrilling
fictions are tame by tho oside of young
Mitchells brilliant exploit.

The best time to transplant any

It is then comparatively insensibleS
TO the 9. n necessary outing Of $iits roots

covers that it has been Kidnapped
and experiences some shortness Of I

best OF the situation aud goes ahead,
growing. The main reason Why
transplanting in the fail is beat ;IisiS
contained in the above remarks. If
the work is deferred until spring, the /
earliest action Of tho roots, which oc-
ours long before the end Of frost, is
interfered with. With many treos,
root growth becomes active before.
there is any sign Of vegetation ON the {
tree above. The removal Of the tree
during this period defers and weakens
this first effort of the tree, which may
involve it's life. s557s5;
Shortening in the top of tree In
transplanting is a matter Of the first
Importance, and the neglect Of it ac- /
counts for the loas of many trees, Oh, n
for their slow and unsatisfactory
growth. The roots and top should
be cut back in about the same pro-
portion with such trees as the water
oak, or the top made smaller than
the root When the roots are neces-S I
sarily cut, and the tree transferred
to new quarters, it is plain that the
shortened roots cannot perform their
natural functions as early as they
would otherwise, and that they oan-
not for some time at least, send up
food for the tree above to any appre-
ciable extent. Anew root system has (
to be formed, and during the time
taken for this there must not be much
demand for nourishment by the tree
above the ground, else the roots will
fail to supply it. Herein lies the inn
portance Of closely pruning the top,
With solel trees, the rule
should Eff the entire top
leaving the trunk but q
strait ,n9r three feet high.
The roI t,be cut smooth and /
well spl 2}s$
Dig H. srees simply sufficient
to contain all the roots left upon them, /,
and in all cases, at least three feetSinF
diameter and two feet deep. Fill inS
and plant the roots in top soil. Buck-s
cts of water poured violently into the
hole while filling in will better settle
the earth among the roots than can
be done by packing with the feet.
Trees, as q rule, should be set slightly
deeper in the ground than they grew
before being removed. ". ..5
1t is a great mistake to manure a
newly set tree with stable manure q.

Ashes, lime, bones and woods earth

Stable manure has killed many q

We are not aware of any reason
why these principles and rules
should be varied with the water oak
and white ASH Cotton Plant.

1.-THE Congress of the United States
had followed the example Of the Legis'
lature Of West Virginia, what spectacle
might have been presented.
Suppose that Mr.. Cleveland, notwith-
standing he was defeated, had been used
as a catspaw by tricky politicians of his
party and q contest made in his behalf,
alleging fraud enough in thirty.fve
States Of the Union to vitiato the cleo
ton OF Harrison and elect Cleveland.
Suppose that when II came to opening
the vote and declaring the result, Mr.
Cleyeland's friends, being in the major
ity, had refused to allow the official vote
DO heard or seen, contending with all
the force OF a bare majority that Har'
rison phould nottake his seat until Cleve'
lands friends should have achance TO
count Harrison out and Cleveland in.
What would the people Of the United
States sayP What would DO the condi'
ton Of the Government Of the United
States pending the determination of that
contest2
The supposition seems absurd when
applied to the Presidency OF the United
States, but tho state Of facts supposed
may be seen to the letter to-day in West
Virginia with regard to the Governor
ship OF this State.
The suppositlon as applied to West
Virginia would have been quite as abb
sorbed any day before the election Of
General GofF.
