NATIONAL HISTORIC COMMITTEE.
The Chairman of the National Historic
| Committee reports that he has received inst
two communications in response to his ques-
| tions as TO Human Liberty. The paper SUBJ
mitted by Carrie Hallowell, OF Kidder, Mo-, Is
| fine effort, and is awarded the first prize
| for the whole question, and first prize for each
of the branches. The paper submitted by Mae
| J.. Bicknell. of East Madison. Me. although
brief, is to the point. and may be an acorn
| from which an oak will yet grow. With much
| pleasure she is awarded the second prizes for
| tho whole question and its branches
The apple tree offered for first prize will be
| forwarded by express as soon as the frost is out
/ of the ground which is not likely to be the
case before the latter part of April and it is
hoped that Sister Hallowell viii plant it her
self, and cherish it as C. C. souvenir. and that
| it will live and thrive and bear much fruit.
| Long may she live 10 eat thereof / am not a
/ professional nufscryman gardener, but for
some years have taken a fancy TO experiment
with the grating and the raising of apple trees
] in my garden.
Two years ago I grated several hundred
roots raised by myself, with seven varieties of
| apple scions. and buried them in the cellar to
| knit until planting time, when they were set
| out, and have made fine growth. All lived
| through the first Summer and have passed
! through two Winters without biemish and I
| have now over 200 of those hardy apple trees
that are in the best of condition for transplant
! ing this Spring
II any G. q. wants to try one or more of these
| Northern-grown trees. | will forward them to
| the nearest express Office to the address given,
securely and properly packed, receipt Of so
cents per tree. The varieties by name are /:
| Duchess of Oldenburg, Montreal Peach Tetof-
sky. Seeknofurther, Alexander, Western Beauty,
| Fameuse.
Let there be no backwardness by those who
have anything to say upon either side of the
| next question, for true Christianity has moth
ing 10 iose bat everything to gain by free and
| full discussion of the matter, however much
| bogus Christianity may suffer byit. The reso-
| luton to be discussed reads as follows:
RESOLVED. That the teaching of theology has been
and Is the great enemy of human liberty and that
| the development OF the element of patriotism ex-
| istng in the human race is the foundation of all
that Is good and great in mankind.
Time for the reception OF papers Is extended
one month from date.
