THE 23D YEAR.
Anniversary of AN Old Business House OF
Ottawa,

Thursday last completed the 22d year of
Mr.. II. J, Gi,len business career, as gen.
eral merobort, in this city, he having, Mar h
lst, 1867. tecOme member Of the house OF
Reddick d Gillen, and, March lst, 1873,
sole owner Of that then old and well estab-
iished business.
1t was the custom of all the older business
houses of Ottawa TO treat all patrons liber-
ally, especially in the matter of credits The
practice has been continued by this house
during all its history in the days of Red
dick & Gllen and II. J. Gillen, to this day
IL will nrt be entirely discontinued now, at
the opening of Mr. Gillen's 23d year of pro-
prietorship. Yet he feels that while the
practice has resulted in no loss to the cash
patrons of the house-for uAder all circum-
stances, and at all times, the extreme OF low
prices has been the rule, as fixedly main
tanned and carried out as if the house were
transacting purely cash business, ii
is believed that standing upon the basis Of
cash sales, the hause will be able to still fur
ther extend It's abilities to serve the public
in the very best possible manner.
Therefore, on yesterday, March lst, the
house adopted the cash system. This does
not mean that all credit will in the future
be denied the old patrons of the house to
whom the privilege has been extended in the
past; nor that credit to new patrons deserV-
ing it shall be refused, but it means in a
measure contraction of the range ofcreiit,
shorter credits and more frequent settle
mers-a working toward point where credit
will no longer be found necessary. 1t means
the adoption of system that will still further
enlarge the capabilities ofthe house in every
direction to increase the advantages given
to its trade 1t means wherever possible a
still uriher reduction of prices, larger
stocks, more extensive varieties of fabrics IN
every department-a general broadening,and
urther expansion of the house, condition
'HhI huuItlOltl chSh pp0'i'iN'
1t is certain that this arrangement will be
satisfactory to the patrons Of the house;
and that it will require but a few weeks trial
to show the sound wisdom of the Plan adopt
ed. in the increased advantages the public
will find offered them ia every branch Of the
house.
Meantime. at the repeated and urgent re
quest Of many old patrons, the design Of last
fall Of going out of the carpet trade entirely
will be given up; and the carpet room is now
being filed up with another entirely new
stock. every piece and pattern of which, in
every grade of goods. is fresh from the looms
The old stock was entirely disposed of last
fall and winter and the new stock is, in fact,
pew stock throughout.
New fabrics IN spring dress goods and
general dry goods for the coming season, OF
every kind, are arriving daily, and the house
is preparing for the spring trade with un
exampled vigor and thOroughness The
stock when complete will unquestonably be
the finest and best ever seen ia the city.
The public are invited to call and see
the new goods now ready, as we'll as those
to come later.

ORCHARD STARVATION.

From the orchards of single small
neighborhood the waste fruit ground for
cider yields from 200 to 500 bushels of
apple seed to the nursery trade yearly.
In good year for fruit the crop of seed
in apples and stone fruits equals or cX-
ceeds he average crop Of wheat in the
same )cality. And then the LEAKAGE,
y ny year carried away by the winds
of autumn, removes u large amount of
choice and necessary minerals extracted
from the soil by the roots. Added to
this is much of the same matter with
drawn from the soil and deposited per
mancntly in the wood growth.
Most of the complaint of the TN
protitableness of orcharding comes from
ignoring the demands of the crop upon
the soil, and of the soil, thus weakened,
upon the OrchardiSt. An undcrfcd or
chard Is apt to prove rs Improbable as
an underfed animal. The fruit is Scanty
in quantity, size and quality, and such
fruit is getting less and less profitable
every year. According to my experience
orchards must receive rs good culture
and as much manure as. grain field I;
and when they get it will pay as well
as, or rather better than, most other

D1UNKARDs' DYSPEPSIA.


Alcohol, says DR.. Oswald, in the Voice, has
been mistaken for n peptic stimulapt, but few
physicians would now deny the correctness OF
DIR. Graham's conclusion that ''no form Of
indigestion is more difficult to euro than
dr,mkards dyspepsia" The proximate cause
OF that experience can be realized by study
of the plates in the British College of Sur
geons Tor similar set i'm the Medical Depart
ment Of Columbia College, New York; repre-
senting the progressive effect of alcohol on
the tissues Of tho human stomach Instead
of the pale reddish color of the gastric mem
brane in q state of health, the lining of the
drunkards stomach exhibits all the evidences
OF chronic inflammation; engagement of the
blood vessels liberation, contraction and
collosity of the mucous teguments and an
aphthous, or mildewcd appearance of the
lacerated surface Alcohol often completely
changes the structure of the liver. 1t studs
it with tubercles, and by obstructing the
vascular ducts expands the diseased organ to
twice, and sometimes to five times its natural
size, but at the same time more and more
disaunlifies it for the proper performance OF
its functions. The weight of n healthy liver
varies from five to eight pounds; and Pro-
fesSor Youmans mentions the post norton
examination of an English drunkard whose
liver was found to weigh Fifty pounds and
who nevertheless Ind died from n deficiency
OF bile. BY congestion the blood vessels and
the bile secrcting cells, beer well as brandy
tends to disorder digestive functions oven of
moderate drinkers; and after continuing the
use of alcohol for five years, few dram-drink-
ers fail to experience the consequences of the
disease known as fatty degeneration of the

stroys the tissue Of four-fifthS of the affected

WHISKY CAUSES TIE INDIAN REVOLT.

Captain Stoucb, Third infantry, has report
ed to the War~9cPaftment the following re-
suits of the Investigations of Captain Han
ney, Third infantry, into the recently report
cd Indian outbreak ut tho Mile Laos ReServa-
tion ID. T.:
"The shooting of the white man was the
result of drunkenness. Three families who
left the neighborhood of the Indian camp
were new arrivals SwedeS. and were fright
cned Off by drunken Indians. They were
about six miles Off. Tho Indians will deliver
up tho one who did the shooting, Wadela,
rs soon as tho Sheriff comes for him. He will
not leave his present whereabouts. The shoot
ing took place in tho Mile Lacs country.
There seems to be some apprehension on the
part of whites and some ill will on the part of
Indians, partly because of the accidental kill
ing Of one of their number last winter, by a
white man, and partly because they still
think they have some title to the land here
abouts, but there is no danger OF an out
break. When drunk they may have made
threats. but there is little in them. The whis-
ky and alcohol trade is tho worst feature OF
tho matter"

CELERY IN BEDS.

The ordinary distances at which celery
is planted is in rows from three to three
and half feet apart, with at least three
distances celery large enough for all prac'
tical purposes can be raised, provided the
soil is sufficiently rich, and proper atten-
tion is given in the cultivation and earth.
ing-up. AS will readily be seen, n row
of twenty-five feet will give as many
stalks as will be required for an ordinary
family. But there are cases where the
land for even this quantity Caunot well
be spared, or where the celery is not so
much wanted for the table as for soups,
stews, and the like, where size Of stalks
is no object. In this case we have sue
ceedcd well in growing a part Of the crop
in beds. For example, piece of land
selected, say, 3x20, can easily be made to
grow $50 celery plants of quite sufficient
size for the purposes mentioned, and, in
deed, that will also do for the table, ut n
pinch.
First, the soil may rs well bc taken out
three or four inches deep and laid to the
side two feet six inches wide. This will
aftcrward bc useful in furnishing soil for
partial carthing up. Except in very ricli
soil, a good coating Of manure should be
spaded into this trench, and then the bed

be planted in this bed one foot apart, and
the plants set four inches from each other.
All that is necessary during the summer
is to keep the weeds down, and the soil
occasionally stirred.
As it is supposed that this crop is
mainly for fall and winter use, it is not
necessary to lo anything until the end of
September or October, and then only suf-
iicicnt to keep the stalks well together, it
being well known that for late keeping,
celery is better not to be thoroughly
bleachcd when put away. As part of
the crop may be wanted for first use,
there is nothing to prevent one end of the
bed from being earthcl UP and got ready
for use first, selecting as many rs are likely
to be wanted. OF course, where II great
quantity is grown, where land is no OBJ
jcct, this method is not likely be much
followed. But among such as have only
little land, and yet want to make the most
of it, we commend the foregoing to their
consideration. IT. will be seen that land
for this purpose is not wanted until some
of the early crops arc ready to clear of
