Successful Peach Culture.

J. H. Hale, South Glastonbury, Conn.,, says: Successful peach culture depends first on healthy trees, secondly upon proper temperature in winter and lastly lpon what varieties we plant. As to the first, the leaf curl, the borer and the vel lows are the chief causes of unhealthi- ness. The curl is of little account and can be got rid of by stimulating rapid growth wherever it is seen. The borer has killed more trees than all other causes combined. More than three-fourths of the cases of so called yellows can be laid to it, and yet, with little care, he is not such bad fellow to handle-a sort of pest that needs watching-and knowing his habits you can easily keep him out, or, when once in the tree, readily get at him; but we have found prevention bet ter and cheaper than cure.
 To prevent the depositing of the eggs is our first object. We therefore an- nually apply a wash for two purposes; first, to smooth the bark, and second, to keep this insect away.
 For a common bucketful two quarts of strong, soft soap, half pint of crude carbolic acid, and two ounces of Paris green, with water and lime enough to make thin paste that will adhere to the tree; if convenient we add little clay, which assists in making it stick; this we apply with a swab or brush at the base of the tree and in the crotches of the main branches

New Fancy Hybrid Petunias.

The new fancy hybrid or large flower ing section produce magnificent flowers, twice the size of the old sorts, in crim- sons, maroon, rose and white, blotched striped, bordered and veined in the most exquisite manner. Many If them have large throats of bright yellow color. The large Towering varieties all require to be trained to stakes or trellises, but dc not grow so tall as the first named. The large, double Towering, fringed strain are probably the most wonderfully de- veloped flowers, considering their ante cedents, in existence. They are so easily grown as to be within the reach of all flower lovers, and pretty enough to or nament the collections of the most fas- tidious,

Who is She?

Everybody who lived in Tombstone in early days remembers Wells Spicer, who. had his justice office on Fifth street, near where the telegraph office now stands The Gazette, published at Phexix by John Dunbar, who was county treasurer of Cochise county, gets off some astounding news regard ing early days iii this camp, the latest of which is the following:
 In the early days of Tombstone Wells Spicer was justice of the peace and an all around pious man. One evening Tombstone widow walked into Judge Spicer's office and asked the judge if "he would marry her" The man of law and gospel being used to tying the slippery knot, readily re- piled, "why, certainly"
 Three days later the widow, accom- panied by her two sons and a quasi pastor, marched into his office and asked Judge Spicer to fulfill his prom ise of marriage. In vain the aged magistrate protested that he did not want to marry, but would perform the ceremony for her and some good look ing man, and appealed to her two sons to explain, but to his horror the boys sided with their mother, and pis- tol in.hand told the pastor to proceed, and Judge Spicer was married to a well known Tombstone woman by sheer force.
 Very few of the new corners ever knew of this strange circumstance, but it is true. But the couple never lived together, and the wife and boys are now residents of Phenix, and in good circumstances.

Catfish Are Good srothers.

Dr. Abbott, of Trenton, is a warm ad- mirer of the catfish, not so much on ac- count of its culinary excellence as be- cause the females of the tribe are good mothers. He has studied the habits of the fish long and carefully, and he knows this to be fact. He says that on one occasion he captured an entire brood of little catfish in a hand net, letting their mother, who was swimming with them, escape. She would not leave the spot where she had been bereaved, and when the doctor put the fry into a glass jar and placed it in the river where she could see it, she dashed herself furiously against the obstacle that separated her from her young ones. When the jar was drawn slowly from the water she fol- lowed it to the surface, and then abso- lutely left the river and wriggled twelve inches up the sloping beach in her frantic efforts to recover her progeny York Sun.

A Counter Claim.

A Moncton doctor was accosted few days ago by citizen who informed him that his daughter had two teeth he wished to have extracted As the doctor did not have any instruments with him, he was asked to brng them the next time he went on his rounds, which he did. Going into the house, he requested the citizen to stand by his horse while he was extracting the teeth. When he had com pleted the operation, he went out and was asked what his charge would be, and replied fifty cents, which is half the reg ular charge. The citizen, who, it is pre- stunned, had never had much dental work done, turned pale, but quickly recover ing himself, put in a counter claim of twenty-five cents for holding the horse, and had it admitted.-Moncton (N. B. Times.

What We Know of Color.

All that we know of color, it's causes and effects, is in connection with the wave theory of light. Color depends upon the number of light waves reflected from any object impinging upon the retina of the eye. In red there are about 10000 waves to the inch, and these will strike the eye at the rate of AT millions of millions of pulsations per second. In violet there are 57,000 waves to the inch and 690 millions of millions of pulsations per second. The other colors have wave light intermediate between these two Color does not, therefore, exist either in the object or in the brain or the mind of the observer. It is an effect. There can be no appearance of fire on a desert island where there is no eye within sec ing distance The chemical process call ed combustion goes on, but there is no appearance of the flame save when its waves strike upon the retina of an eye. -Lithographer.

A Wonderful Change.

Arizona Is now, like California was in '50, going through a stage of devel- opment and experiment which is showing, not only to the people who have in charge the duty imposed upon them, but to the outside world that the future of our Territory, like Cali fornia does not depend upon our min ersl wealth to create out of our pres ent dormant condition, busy, active, wealthy section of the United States
 We have within our own city of Tomb stone, instances of what we can do with water at our disposal. Tomb stone had been born three years be- fore even a cottonwood tree had been planted when Col Mike Gray in 1881 dug two small holes in the limestone in front of his residence on Fremont street and stuck limb from a tree on the San Pedro river, which he had cut on his way home from Tucson, in each hole. It was only an experiment. but Mike being Of an experimental turn of mind would not believe that anything was impossible until he had tested 1t himself. Many old Califor nians with whom he was acquainted, laughed heartily at his presumption. But the sticks" were watered every day regularly and soon began to show signs of life, and to-day measure 75 inches in circumference, and reach their limbs high above the tallest two- story building in the city. Next sea- son over 800 of these sticks" were put into the ground and hundreds more were set out each spring for two years thereafter and the streets of Tombstone are now lined with hand some shade trees. Along about the year 1883, Judge Felter who resided on the premises now owned by our delegate to Congress, Marcus A. Smith, sent to California for a grape cutting and stuck it into the ground back of his bedroom window where he could water it handily after making hls daily morning toilet. "It may grow, said his neighbors, "but grapes will never rIpen here, the weather is too wet when they are maturing and they will mildew and be worthless" " The first year it was to the top of the window, the next year it was all over the back of the house and climbing up the stove pipe, far above the roof and bore few punches of grapes, and how the old Judge and his wife and their neighbors did watch that vine and the grapes, and when the Judge one Sunday afternoon, picked the large clusters of clean, ripe, fine fla vored fruit and called the neighbors in to test their quality, then and there was started the boom in grape culture, and the following year thousands up on thousands of vines were set out on the foothills of the adjacent mountain ranges and along the San Pedro liver Fruit trees of all kinds were found tc do well and bear the most delicious fruit, and although the first trees fol profit were set out but four or five years ago, the yield is sufficient this season to supply the demand for al but the earliest variety of apricots Peaches, apricots, plums, quinces pears, apples and berries bear abun
 dantly, and sufficient test has beer made to prove without fear of success ful contradiction, that the fruit raised in Cochise county is more profitable and of a superior flavor to any raised anywhere in the great fruit belt of tht Pacific Coast.-Prospector.

A Strange Bird.

A bird differing considerably from anything of the kind ever seen around here was on exhibition on the streets Wednesday. It was about the size and shape of a goose, web footed and legs considerably longer, which enabled it to stand straight up. Its body feathers were speckled much like guinea's. only they were much more glossy and beauti- ful. Its bill was long and sharp, like a cranes, and it had a vicious look out of its little red eyes. A beautiful ring of black and white polka dot feathers made a charming color for its graceful neck, and a nice set off for its glossy, blue black head. This rara avis was caught by Green Patterson, who was working on MT. J. T. Perdue's place. He says it showed fight both towards him and the mule he was blowing until he knocked it down with stick. The strange bird attracted no little attention and numbers of names were suggested for it, but no one seemed to know exactly what it was -Quitman (Ga.) Press.

PRUNING SHRUBS.

Practical Directions on a Subject Not Gen
 orally Understood.
 Shrubs, when properly planted in deep, rich soil, demand comparatively little care, but ''how shall these be pruned?" is question often asked There can perhaps be no safer answer than the fol- lowing, furnished by as high authority as Garden and Forest:
 Severe pruning tends to enfeeble either shrub or tree, and the removal of large branches usually interferes with the natural and, therefore, most graceful outlines of either. 50 far as any general rule can be laid down, it may be said that shrubs will be the most vigorous and in their best form the year through, when no pruning is attempted beyond the thinning out of the weaker and over shadowed branches in order to afford the stronger ones better opportunity for growth. The shearing of shrubs into formal shapes, such as cones and spheres, or cutting of all the tops at the same level, means, of course, the destruction both of the health and beauty of the plant.
 But when shrubs are used for special purposes they require special treatment. If abundant bloom is the object chiefly aimed ct, the time and manner of prun- ing should be chosen with this end in view. Shrubs which bloom early in the spring, like Thunberg's spirsea, for ex- ample, form their flower buds on the growth of the previous year. If this growth is cut back in autumn or in early spring, the flower buds, too, are cut away and the bloom of the year is de- stroyed. With such shrubs the proper course is to wait till the Towering season is over and then prune away a consider able portion of last years wood.
 This will encourage new shoots, which will start at once and begin to make Towering branches for next spring. On the other hand, shrubs which flower late in the season, like the Rose of Sharon some of the Tamasisks and the Great Panicled Hydrangea, make their flower buds on the wood that forms during the growing season of the same year. These late towering shrubs should be pruned now, before the new growth starts. If tHo ny LII dHSSd JuSt HueHLlOISu LS Cut back so as to leave but one or two eyes on each branch of last years growth, these will put out vigorous shoots, each of which will bear at the extremity a large panicle of flowers next fall.
 These directions may be summarized as follows:
 For general purposes, shrubs should never be cut back so far as to impair their vigor, nor be pruned so as to de stroy their natural outlines.
 Shrubs which bloom early, on wood Of the previous year, should not be pruned in autumn or in early spring when it is desired to secure abundant flowers, but immediately after the blooming season
 Shrubs which bloom late, on wood oi the current year, should be r-uned after the leaves fall in autumn, or in early spring before they start.

sWEETBRleR.

Oh, the magic, subtle spell Of the sweet, old timey smell Of the fragile tinted petals of the sweetbrier bios sons fair;
 It conjures up the ghost Of lovely time long lost As 1t fings the spicy odors of it's balm upon the air.
 And my dreamy fancy strays Backward through the devious maze That my feet have travelled over in the decades since the time
 When gathered flowers like these; While the humming birds and bees Their minor murmurings with the breezes mingle into rhyme.
 Through the twfight's soft half gloom Flutters in a faint perfume, And reminiscence blossoms from the ashes of the past:
 Memories that never fade, Blossoms that hath ne'er decayed, Breathe again the sweet aroma of the joys that could not last
 And love to oiter where The blossoms fresh and fair Chmed and chung in copious loveliness and gar nished all the place;
 Oh, the forms that never more Pass the lintel of the door That those darling flowers garlanded with rare old fashioned gracel
 Mid the blooms of Paradise, Where the palms in grandeur rise, May there not still be yearning for the honnely blossoms here?
 Does the recompense of heaven In the lavish love here given Holds gifts within it's keeping that will banish every tearH
 And wonder if the blooms, Intermingling their perfumes In the holy dells of heaven in their siSterhood em brace
 Tender blossoms such as we Cherish here so lovingly, And If among the wresths and tufts the sweet brier finds place.
 Pretty blossoms, loved of old, Dear the lyrics they enfod; Fading, fadeless things commingled by the spell of memory;
 Blossoms sweet of opal hue, Dainty petals drenched with dew, Typical at once of changless and of changeful destiny -Rosaline E. Jones

Horticultural Notes.

J. T. Lorett calls attention to the small growing, ornamental Heather" grass. He says there is no reason why it should not be grown by any one, as it is easily propagated from seed and is hardy.
 The Golden Prolific gooseberry, new variety, is receiving good deal of mer- itorious comment.
 The most successful market gardeners crop their soil without intermission throughout the whole season. Spinach, radishes or lettuce, beets, etc., or tomato plants and cucumbers follow each other in quick succession in their cold frames, and similar rotation is practiced in the open ground.
 Eckford's new sweet peas are probably the finest strains of this interesting flower.
 The new potato to be called King of Oneida is evidently long keeper. It is of good shape, and all that appears against it is the color, which is purple.

OuijOtOa Burned.

Word was received at Tucson on the Doth, of the burning of the stown of Quijotoa, 94 miles southwest of that place. The fire started Wednesday noon in a restaurant in a large adobe building containing store and saloon. The fire ragged furiously for half an hour, consuming the entire town three restaurants, two saloons, two stores, one lodging house, butcher shop and number of other houses. Mir. Sewers house and store consumed, on which there was small insurance. which was all the insurance carried. The building in which the fire origi- mated cost $S,000 in the flush times of the camp, the builders paying five cents a gallon for water with which to make adobes. As all the mines are closed down this virtually wipes out the camp Most of the loss is sus- tained by Tucson merchants, who supplied the camp with goods.
