AN EARLY ANSWERED QUESTION

orderiug the entire Issue sold IN this
country, anu has the following to soy

In answering the above says that half
of the loan was iioated in England be.
cause 1t WAS intended for the double
purpose OF bringing gold into the coun-
try and iuto the treasury at the sume
time. The gold received from England
was gu addition of just the amount mud
premlum OF the loan iloatcd there to
the gold stock OF the country, 1t also
adds that loan floated III this country
would not have added u dollar to the
gold stock OF tbs county.
Experiments had shown this on two
occasions. Under the then existing
condition of affairs it was plain to the
Government that gold borrowed in
this country could not be kept In the
Treasury, for tie reason that "the no.
tice that u loan would be called for was
always the signal for raid on the
Treasury. Forms Of currency, re-
deemnbio i'll gold, were presented and
gold demanded for it aud taken from
the Treasury to be loaned to the gov.
eminent. lu this way tho Treasury
has been compelled to borrow its own
gold where loans have been made III
this country"
In II word, as the Times Union SAYS.
"half Of the loan was 1oated in Eng
land because the Treasury official,
wished to get money they did not al.
ready have, and because they wished
1t to remain in the Treasury"
Perhaps the LITTER Ocean had not
viewed the question i'll this light.

The decision of the Supreme Court

estimate was that the Government

revenues provided for will be sufficient
to meet the necessary needs of the Gov

unconstitutional by the votes of Chief

In speaking of the famous Hampton
Roads Conference. which took place
during the late war between President
Lincoln and Secretary OF State Seward,
on the UnioE side, and Alex. II, Ste.
yens. Vice President OF the Confederate
States, with Judge Campbell aud
others on the Confederate side, the
New York Times says:
"Col. Mcclure says he had personal
knowledge that President Lincoln was
ready to offer the authorities of the
Southern rebellion $500, 000,000 as
compensation for their slaves, on con
dition that they would agree to end the
war by snbmittiDg to the general gov
ernment. in February, 1869, and the
Colonel thinks that this. II accepted.
would have been measure OF states
rnanship in the President.
'.Bnt what would il have been on
that OF Jefferson Davis and his govern
uent? 1t would have been simply the
agreement to be bought of by that
SUN. The slaves were already free, it
is TO be remembered under the eman.
cipstion proclamation, So that their
owners had nothing to sell. II is not at
all probable that President Lincoln was
ready with this proposal with any
thought that it would be accepted"
This New Orleans States, in replying
TO the above, says that ".he South at
thu time was lighting not for slaves nor
money, but for great principle. the
principle of States rights which our
people believe as strongly to-day as
they did when her troops first took the

we want to bear fruit the next
season To do this we pinch back
the shoots that we no not want &c
extend; or even pull these weak
shoots out altogether. A little
pruning is then necessary, in the
winter, to shorten back these strong
bearing canes, or to prune out al
together the weaker ones that we
check by pinching back during
the growing season.
IRRIGATING THE GARDEN.
From the Denver Field and Farm.
The subject of irrigation of the
garden is one of the present inter
ests. The garden is the most pro-
ductive part of the farm. but quite
often the product is greatly reduced
by few dry days during which
young plants are destroyed for the
want of water, or the older ones
are so weakened at the poisoning
time that they fail to set fruit.
That most important crop, the
strawberries, especially suffers
from the want of water, and it has
been found that some simple meth
cd of irrigation has trebled the av-
erage yield, with an equivalent inn
provement in the quality of the
fruit 1t has been shown by scien-
tific experiments that the yield of
any crop is in proportion to the
quantity of water passing through
the plants. This is not only reason
able, but easily demonstrate, as
the only food available to plants is
that dissolved in water, and if the
water is deficient in supply the
plant is starved to the extent of
the deficiency, while the contrary
applies equally. So that short
supply'of water in the soil is equiv
alent to shortening of the sup
ply of food, and the most fertile
soil can not yield more than mea'
ger crop. 1t is the same as if the
soil were deficient in fertility. 1t
is usually proper to irrigate most
garden truck at the poisoning pc
Rod, especially if the soil is dry
and the weather warm, and it is
again essential to water when the
fruit is set.

SCOTS Emulsion

is not a secret remedy. 1t IS
simply the purest Norway Cod
liver Oil, the finest Hypophos-

This is the secret of SCOTS

deaf from that cause. The en-
glneers in the ChenYu stuck to
their work even when the temporal
ture of the engine was above zoe
degrees Fahrenheit. The skin o.
our hands and arms was actually
roasted off, and every man was
blinded for life, the sight being
actually scared out.
Late in the action, after my hair
had been burned off aud my eyes
so impaired by injected blood that
l could only see out of one of them,
and then only by lifting lid with
my fingers, l was DESTROYS of seeing
how the enemy was delivering his
fire. AS I CROPPED my way around
the protected deck a Ioo.pound
shell pierced the armor about IS
inches in front of my hand. In a
second my hand touching the steel
was SO burned that part OF the skin
was left upon the armor. That
shows how intense is the heat en-
gendered by the impact of a shot,
and how rapidly the steel conducts
that heat.
One shell struck an open gun
shield of the Chen. Yuen early in
the action, and CHANGING thence,
passed through the open port.
Seven gunners were killed and
fifteen wounded by that shot.
Early in the fight the Maxim gun
in our foretop was silenced. The
holes pierced by she'll could be
seen from the deck. After the
fight we found the officer and men
on duty there all dead and fright
fully mangeled. That one shell
had wrought the havoc
The detonations of the heavy
cannon and the impact of hostile
projectiles produce conclusions that
actually rend the clothing off.
The Chinese soldiers deserve all
credit for their courage and obedi-
ence in that action No duty was
too difficult or dangerous. When
the Chen-Yuen's forecastle was
ablaze from Jap shells I ordered
several officers to cross the she'll
swept place to fight the fire. They
shirked that duty, but when I
called upon men to volunteer to
follow me, they did it promptly
and the ship was saved 1t was
while on this duty shell passing
between my legs threw me aloft
and let me down upon the deck
with such violence that l became
unconscious, and was out of the
fight. All of the officers, how
ever, were not towards. On my
ship were several who had been
educated in this country, and they
were as brave and devoted as men
could be. Others however, were
in the safest place they could
find amidships.

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.

In pruning fruit trees attention
has to be given to the manner in
which the particular kind bears
its fruit The cherry and the pear
both bear their fruit on short spurs,
and in trimming, therefore, the eff
ort should be to produce a large
quantity of healthy fruit spurs.
Summer pruning does this admir-
ably. the branches that we want
to remain as leading shoots should
not be touched; but the weaker
ones may be pinched back about
midsummer, about I foot or two
thirds Of their growth. This will
induce the swelling of a number OF
buds that will produce flowers in
stead of branches, aud in this way,
fruit spurs can be obtained on com.
paratlvely young trees; but with
such kinds as grape vine, the fruit
is born on the branches of las
years growth, so the effort shoulc
be to throw all the vigor possibl,
into those growing branches tina

PRESIDENT JORDAN HERE.
He Returns From a Scientific Trip to
Mexico.

He Returns From a Scientific Trip to
Mexico.
Professor David Starr Jordan, president
OF the Stanford University, arrived in the
city yesterday after an absence of six
weeks, most of which time was spent in
Mexico.
Some time ago Timothy Hopkins noti-
fed Professor Jordan that if the latter
would undertake trip Of scientific research
to the country mentioned, all the expenses
thereof would be met by the tirst-named
gentleman, and this very generous offer
led to the expedition.
The investigations were made in connec-
ton with the laboratory established by Mr..
Hopkins, and the party brought back some
valuable specimens, which will be added
to those already in that institution.
The party brought back with it over 5000
fish specimens, and the professor stated
that at least twenty-five of them were new
TO science.
These newly Undiscovered specimens of the
finny tribe were principally found at MAJ
allan, at the mouth of the Gulf of Califor-
mia, in the Mexican State of Sinaloa
which point was as far as the expedition
went.
Besides the fish many specimens of rep.
tiles and plants were brought back, which
will all be subjects of discussion at the
laboratory in the future.
