Amour CuLuvATINo ORCHARDS The
diverse treatment which. orchards receive
the country affords a lesson
the great benefit OF giving them
The best management. and the loss from
neglected treatment. Neglect IL too COM
mon, and poor crops and scabby fruit is
Ehe result. In contrast with these neg
lected orchards, are q few to which the,
owners give the best attention. and who
receive good prices for the copious returns
Of handsome fruit. One orchard Of this
class. says the Country Gentleman,
which has grown to full bearing size
affords the owner handsome profit every
year, while his careless neighbors receive
not more than one-fourth OF his returns.
This well-managed orchard is kept in
grass, which is grazed short by sheep, the
grass Afforded them being only one-half or
as much as would give them full
iced, the deficiency being made up with
grain or meal. This il fed to them regu-
larry In long board troughs. The sheep
eat every wormy apple as it falls, and the
fruit b thus kept nearly clean from in
sects. The droppings Of the sheep enrich
the ground, and top dressing Of barn
manure is added yearly.
The sales Of the fruit from this orchard
for many years have been equal to 800
from each acre it occupies. The shade OF
the apple trees prevents rank growth Of
the grass, and the grazing Of the sheep
gives 1t somewhat the appearance OF a
lawn. The owners OF some other excellent
orchards, who cannot use sheep. apply
yard or barn manure more copiously. In
! one Of the finest visited, the annual appli-
cation Of manure bad gradually made it
two or three inches deep; the result was a
superb crop OF apples. Other orchards,
with less manure, are kept clean and mel
low with gang pillow or Acme harrow to
keep the surface clean and in finely
pulverized condition.

IT LOOKS ENCOURAGING. Henry Clews,
the well known financier OF New York.
and an authority upon all matter pertain
ing to finances, has telegraphed to Sena-
tor Voorhees, as follows: 1.-THE great
national banks Of Europe now hold $780,
O00, 900 in gold. and other banks $780,
000, 900 more, making 81 900, OO0, 600 in
all. Most OF this belongs to depositors
and is now absolutely idle. When our
money is put in solid shape. as it will be
by the repeal Of the silver clause Of the
Sherman law, this country will act as a
powerful magnate to draw an important
part OF that hoard Of metal to this side,
as this country now is really the only
place that holds ont the promise to ma Q
good and profitable inve stments.s The
doors are closed against Australia, India,
South America, Russia, Spain, Egypt
and Turkey, and France, at no time since
the battle Of Waterloo, wanted English
investment connections less than now, so
that EngIand's great hoard Of money can
only be proftably and safely invested in
this country, and, my word for it, 1t will
soon come in prodigious amounts.
BERN KELLEY CURED. Suppose we stop
bowling sshard times.n The cry has be-
come monotonous, and as matter OF fact
1t Isn't true any longer, even if it were
ever justified. People have been crazy
and badly scared--thst's all. Men OF
wealth have run just as hard and yelled
rs loud as the savings bank depositors
have. Wages have been cut down and
men have been discharged in anticipation
Of commercial disaster that has not
occurred. Money has been drawn from
savings banks and put into old stockings
because Of an unreasoning distrust. Cur
rency is beginning to circulate freely.
The Sherman law is on its last legs and
will soon be knocked over the ropes en-
tirely. There is no OBSTACLE to resump-
ton Of business except the lingering
remnants Of the financial delirium ire
mems from which we have been suffering.
Start the wheels whirring again. Choke
off the yswping. Get sober. The spree
is ver.--Walla Walla Statesman.
SUES THE SULTAN.--A case which prom
ises to be Of considerable and peculiar
interest will be the breach Of promise suit
brought by Miss Jennie Migheli, Of Dew
onshire terrace, Brighton, England,
against the sultan Of Jehore. 1t will be
heard in the courts Of justice in London,
probably this month. The damages are
laid at high figure. Jehore is country
less than half the size Of New York, with
about 100000 inhabitants. The ruler Of
this small country is an immensely
wealthy man, who, on occasions of state,
covers himself with about sl0,000,O 600
worth Of diamonds. He is an intelligent
and we'll educated man who has Travelled
much. Within the last few weeks be has
been on Q visit to America. He is So
years Of age and widower.

ALABoR DEMoSsrRAros.-Fully 1000
people attended the socialist meeting
held on Union square in New York on
Saturday evening last. Labor organiza-
tons Of the east and west sides of the city
marched with banners, torches and trans
parencies from their headquarters to the
