THE BORDEAUX MIXTURE NOT DANGEROUS.

THE BORDEAUX MIXTURE NOT DANGEROUS.
To the Editor of The Tri bune.
Sir: The alum caused by the action of the Board
Of Health of New in relation TO the grapes
having Bordeaux mixture upon their stems is utterly
without cause.
When Paris green used upon potatoes to destroy
the potato beetle the same alarm raised as
the fact was discovered. Had the practice not been
per.lstently followed the people would have had to
dispense with potatoes IS article of food.
When Paris green first applied to apple trees to
destroy the Cooling moth the alarm again raised
of poisoned apples in the markets.
The vineyards of this county are threatened with
humiliation by mildew, black and brown rot. Tho
spraying with Bordeaux mixture and other copper
solutions has proved effective In staying these ravages
while at the same time there has been danger in
consuming the fruit. 1 have personally inspected
large number of vineyards in this State the past sum-
mer and have found instances where spraying had not
been done, that the entire crop of grapes ruined
by rot and the vineyards given up to weeds and
abandoned, while In the same locality those properly
treated carrying an abundance of perfect fruit.
The Farmers Institutes, conducted under the aus
pices of the New York State Agricultural Society," have
strenuousy advocated the spraying of arsenical sou
tons for insect pests and the copper solutions for
fIngous diseases, with very marked results in the
general improvement in the quality of much of the
fruit going upon the market.
In the Bordeaux mixture lime is used which causes
the adherence to the stem of the copper color, while
the strength of the copper has disappeared in short
time after the application. The Bordeaux mixture can
be dispensed with entirely and carbonate of copper
and carbonate Of ammonia substituted, which are more
easily applied, are quite effective and are easily
washed OFF by even light showers
Spraying should be done a preventive not as a
cure, and hence should be done early in the season
when there will be necessity of spraying the vines
for several weeks before the fruit will be ready for
marketing The stomach of young pig is as sus-
ceptible to poison the human stomach, and. while
using these solutions freely my practice is not to
remove that class OF young stock from the fields
during the time Of spraying and l experience no
trouble whatever. The proportions l have used
cessfuly are For insects, pound Of Paris green in
go gallons Of water; for grape rot and other fungus
troubles Of carbonate Of copper, L pound of
carbonate Of ammonia, diluted with 80 gallons Of
water.
Grapes that have been sprayed eight times with the
above solution being freely consumed by my
own family and large number of people engaged in
the business, and the recent action Of the Board Of
Health has been only TO cause loss unnecessarily To
enjoying the luxury of that most desirable fruit. The
choice is to the copper solution TO be deprived
Of the of this fruit to n large extent

that thousands have been led from darkness TO light

pastoral service is Of the very greatest value to the
community. And no man In New York has done more
Of IT, or done 1t better, than DR.. Burchard.
During the last years Of his life II was my privilege
10 see much Of him, and want 10 bear testimony 10
the kihdness the cheerfulness the sympathetic spirit
which shed warm and beautiful glow over his old
age. Long after he had passed tine limit OF three
score years aad ten he devoted himself 70 the work Of
preaching with unfaggng vigor Living In the house
of his son, surrounded by every comfort, ne might
easily have been tempted TO give himself up TO life o.
welcomed repose. But he loved 10 labor, and hardly
times IT made no difference whether the church was
in DC city or the country, obscure or prominent he
would co. And Ct him, as Of the one 10 whose name
he preached Il may be said that " the common people
heard him gladly" This was his great delight, and 10
kept him strong and happy and useful g the yery ed
Of MS life think that these are the things VIC onght

HONOR TO TIE ABoLITIoYIsTs.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The sons and daughters Of the Aboltionsts
may well remember with pride the stand that their
fathers took in defence of human freedom than
half century ago. They stood on the broad prln-
ciple that one man cannot another. The real
NEGRO thief" was the who claimed to own u
negro. The negro was man and owned himself
But the great majority was against us.
The letter Of Mr. Glen In yesterdays Tribune recalls
memories of the attempts made to crush out free
speech here IN the state CT New-YOrk. Mr. Glen
speaks of his fathers presence at the Utica Convention
broken up by mob in 1885. My father also attended
thai convention. lie had driven down from Rochester
in his OWL carriage. taking with him my nncle Lindlcy
Murray Moore, also of Rochester. with two other
Friends all the straiteSt Of Quaker coats and hats
and all among the most prominent members of
Pennington Quarterly Meeting Of Orthodox Friends
Tho sin of the convention in the eyes OF the mob, was
that it passed resolutions condemnng the enslaving
Of human beings For this the mob stoned them and
drove them away. As my father told the story on
his return ne in his carriage holding the rens and
his friends, Nteating BEFORE the mob were fastening

they would throw the carnage over MY fatAer hau
a pair OF spirited horses which never needed a WHIP

the mob was scattered. We're these QUAKER advocates
OF human freedom less noble than the men who held
mu shets or Who commanded regiments at Bunker
while yet boy at the request OF the committee,
reported the debates of the convention held at Koch
ester in 1888 But whether the time has yet come
when the world will honor the AbOliuonists is que5

A GLASS EYE SEPARATES HUSBAND AND WIFE.

An action recently begun in the equity branch Of
the Court of Common Pleas involves the right OF man
who wears glass eye to marry without first informing
his intended wife of his affection. In this action Paul
Katz is the plaintiff and his wife, who is named in the
complaint as Nette Lehnelson, is the defendant. Mr.
Katz alleges In his complaint that on December =
1890 he and the defendant entered into contract
IN marry and the contract was witnessed by Alderman
James L. McLarney." That is Mr. Katz's way Of say
ing that Alderman McLarney performed the marriage
ceremony But In the next clause Of the complaint
Mr. Katz comes right to the point. He says that he
and the defendant had been acquainted for some time
and that the defendant agreed to marry him, but that
after tho said contract entered into the defendant
refused TO live with the plaintiff upon the ground aud
for tine reason that the plaintiff suffered from in
trinity, TO wt-having an artificial eye, which she
claimed she had prior TO this time been UNAWARE Of
