Gus seedlings and crosses with other species
OF the plum family, and some of these are
already beginning to appear. The large
size and handsome colors of the japanese
piums make them very attractive, and the
good quality of the most of them pieases
the taste. The frmness of the flesh enables
the fruit to be carried almost without in
jury over long distances. The trees are
mostly of good shape and sturdy habit, and
bear almost too well. In fact, they must be
carefully watched and the fruit thinned, or
the trees will be greatly overloaded and in
jured. The varieties range in color from
almost white to dark purple, and some are as
red to the stone as any cherry. The season
of ripening extends from very early to very
late. All varieties except Kelsey seem to
be hardy as far north as Massachusetts,,
Michigan, and Iowa, yet they do well along
the Gulf of Mexico. They are practically
proof against the ravages of the black-knot
and leaf-blight.
On the other hand, the trees bloom so
early in the season that in some sections
they are apt to have the crop cut off by
frost, although there are cases where they
have bloomed and set fruit, and were praeti-
cally out of danger before the later kinds
reached their tender stage, and we're seri-
ously hurt by late frosts. The fruit is sub
ject to rot in some sections and under GER
tain climatic conditions There is peculiar
flavor running through nearly the whole
list of varieties that. in few of them, and
to some persons, is almost bitter. But, con-
sidering all things, the nurseryman, the
fruit-grower, the merchant, and the con-
sumner like the Japanese plums already,
with but few exceptions. The Gamers are
pleased with them, also, and there is likely
to be great future to this part of the busi-

Gen. Alger for the Cabinet.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Gen. Alger
has been mentioned for place in the Cabi-
net. There is no man to whom we could
give more ready Endorsement than to this
illustrious statesman and philanthropst. If
good deeds are to be rewarded, and thew
should be, then Gen. Alger has claim to
the honor in behalf of the people, and espe-
cially of those classes whom he has helped in
time of need. A rich man, his bounteous
gifts to the poor have already made his name
and fame widespread. Let us have a news
boys representative in the Cabinet. It was
one of the sayings of him whom all Christ
ian nations worship-"The poor We always
have with you" Then we want one rich
man in the Cabinet who cares for the poor.
He has been the Chief Executive of Michi-
gan, besides holding other Offices of honor
and trust. But chiefest among the noble
acts OF his life were his magnanimous gifts
to the poor of his own city.-JAMEs II.

Veal know Mark Twain, the humorist, the
inimitable writer Of "Innocents Abroad" and
TON Sawyer" who has helped us pass many
dreary hour and dragged us from gloomy
contemplation of our woes into the bright
realms Of fun and merriment.
We all know him as our greatest American
humorist; but of the deeper side of his nature
we know but little.
Indeed, il is only within the past few months
flat the reading public have known him as a
serious writer. although his friends have long
suspected that there was deep strata of seri-
business underneath the lighter vein of humor
When the Personal Recollections of Joan of
Are" appeared serial in Hdrper's Monthly
without signature, the whole literary world
was agog 10 hunt the author, and when il was
first credited 20 Mark Twain the incredulous
public scoEed At the idea.
When il WIS finally demonstrated that Mark
Twain the humorst and SAINT A. Clemens the
