He Was Moved.

A well known business man-call him
Blankdash to save him notoriety-who is not
at all noted for going to church, dropped into
a PRAYER meeting on the Hill with two friends
who were, judging from the event, still less
pious than he, and seated themselves, the first
one seat forward Of the others. There were
the usual Eve minute remarks and testimo-
mics, interspersed with singing, to which
they listened interestedly. Then came one of
those awful pauses which will occur in the
best regulated prayer meetings, after the
leader had called for ''some other brother to
rise" Suddenly Blankdash popped up,
straight and rotund, filing the eyes Of the
gathering, with his lips as if about to speak,
or as trying to say something. But not a
word did he utter-just stood a moment, then
sank back into his seat and bowed his head.
The ripple of surprised attention it caused
passed, and the meeting went on, it being
supposed he was too much moved for utter.
ance. The sad truth was that one of his
wicked friends Will a scarfpin had furnished
the propelling power for Blankdash's sudden
rise. -Springfeld (Mass.i Cor. Sun

fore. to know how to prune. what to prune
and when to prune.
A horticulturist In Country Gentleman
calls attention to q fact often ignored,
viz, that pinching back a growing shoot
or pruning a growing branch weakens the
same. This fact must be borne In mind
when n Is endeavoring to make a tree
shapely or get a uniform growth of vine.
In the Old World use Is made of this
principle In training fruit and other trees
into various forms. Some fruit trees are
trained 50 as to make perfect trellises,
fat as o pale fence; these are called
espalier Others are erect, round and
shoot up like Lombardy poplars, colum.
mar trees Appended Is an illustration OF
q columnar pear tree.
To make this tree. explains the horti-
c~ulturist quoted from, the grower has to
pinch back all the strong growing shoots
toward the upper portion of the tree, as
the season progresses, and any shoot that
seems stronger than the rest, anywhere.
In the fall and winter, when the finishing
time for pruning arrives, the upper part
of the tree is still severely pruned, as
shown in the illustration.
Attention has been called to this form
of tree simply to illustrate the general
principle that pruning or pinching back
q strong shoot weakens it and that the
weaker ones profit by what to the strong
ones has peer denied. In conclusion adds
this horticultist: If the shoots on a grow
ing vine are all weakish at the bottom.
and a few strong ones are pushing at the
top we should pinch these strong ones
back and take out the growing point soon
after 1t starts. or as soon as it occurs to
us that the lower branches need Strength
ening II it be an evergreen that we
would thicken at the bottom. pinch out
the growing points of the stronger
branches. but let alone the weaker ones.
II II be a pear tree that we would train to
any special form. keep back the stronger
branches and let the weaker one grow.
Only in this way can we get branches
| where we need them.

A discovery of great interest has been
made in the tidal river HANDLE, near Botley,
Hants. England. A boat hous Is being
built at the point of the junction Of the
Curdridge creek with tthe river, some little
distance above the spot where there is still
existing a wreck of a Danish man-of-war.

waterway something hard was encountered,

to be a portion of an ancient canoe 1t is a

Honey Plants.

All flowers, whether wild or cultivated,
are visited by the Industrious bee for
honey. and it is not easy to say from
what species it derives the most of its
sweets. Orchards in full bloom are me
lodious with their hum, and later on The
fields of buckwheat are extraordinarily
attractive. so much so, indeed, that honey
made principally from this plant is readily
distinguished from that made earlier from
fruit blossoms. white clover, etc., which
is more highly esteemed on account of its

The Statement the Dead Man In
tended to Present in Court Too
Obscene for Publication-The In
decent Language Said by the Writer
to Have Been Used by His Slayer.
AUGUSTA, GA, Oct. 20.-Readers of the
MORNING NEWS are familiar with the facts
of the recent tragedy in Warrenton, when
James NJ. W. Cody was shot and killed by
Charles E. McGregor, and also with the fact
that Cody had previously shot McGregor
on the night Of Dec. %. 1887. Cody was
under indictment for assault with intent to
murder McGregor, and his case was to have
been tried this month in Warren superior
court, but did not come to court. When
court adjourned he went to town and
McGregor shot him.
CoDY's STATEMENT.
After Cody's death it was stated by his
relatives and attorney that Cody had
written a statement which he had intended
to make on the stand on his trial, aud that
this written statement was in their
possession. 1t was Codys justification
of his shooting Of McGregor. They
at first refused to allow it
to be published, but to-day it
was given to the press. The Chronicle had
it first and declined TO publish it, It has
been sent to Atlanta and Charleston. The
statement contains much language unfit for
publication. This language is ascribed to
McGregor. and was used by him, it is
claimed, in reference to Cody and the un-
fortunate woman whose name has been as
sociation with this deplorable affair.
WHAT HE CHARGES.
The whole purport of Cody's statement
which is about three columns long, is to the
! effect that McGregor openly and vulgarly
made base Insinuations against Cody anC
his cousin, and boasts as to what he coulc
do. In spite Of persuasion and warnings
McGregor continued to pay constant atten
tion to Cody's cousin. They were found il
compromising situations, it was claimed
and at last the scandal grew SO open anG
| public that in defense of his cousins
honor he shot McGregor. He claims thai
| the shooting was done face to face, and thai
