LOYAL LEGIoN.-The regular week
ly meeting of the Loyal Legion was
held in the Second Presbyterian Church
Friday at 4 p. m. Rev. j. Ernest
Thacker opened the meeting with
prayer. He also made a very pleasant
address to the children, taking as a
text the 23d Psalm. He urged them
to be like David; in not wanting, or
wanting to do, anything that would
iniure them; and in following Gods
leading. And he assured them that if
they did this, they might be sure Of
the reward as was David when he *
claimed, Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my
life." The Legion is increasing in
numbers and is doing a good work.

To BE FINED.-The owners of the
steam launch Americas have gotten
in trouble. On the day of the primary
election the yacht was taken down the
river by a thoroughly competent engi-
neer, but who had not then taken out
his license, though he has since done
so. For violating the navigation laws,
it is understood the engineer will be
fined, though as no violation was in
tended the fine, it is thought, will be
nominal.

In this orchard ,of four acres every other row is being sprayed so as to demon strate to the farmers that great benefits of spraying upon the trees and it's necessity in order to have healthy, vigorous trees with an abundance of perfect foliage and perfect fruit. The first application was the Bordeaux mix ture alone, just after the leaves were out, for the purpose of preventing the leaf blight. This week the second appli- cation was Bordeaux mixture, with slight addition of Paris green. The purpose was to kill the coddling moth The third application will be made in few days as soon as the young fruit be- gin to appear. Mir Colyer says he car already see the great benefits that have resulted from the spraying Of the trees and says that the blight has been almost wholly checked and destroyed and thai the effect would have been more marked had the application been made earlier Profs Lirrine and Stewart of the agri I cultural experiment. station express
 themselves as quite sanguine as to thu
 results not only upon the trees, but upol
 the fruit itself, which they say will b.
 larger and free from blemish and greatl,

Ex-Editor Edward H, Phelps of the Homestead publications, under whom the present editor of THE BEE served his ap- prentceship, contributes an interesting column weekly to the Springfield Home stead, under the caption of IA Blunt Old Quill" In reference to the business outlook he makes these interesting com ments "President John A. Hall of the Massachusetts Mutual has returned from Kansas City and Denver, feeling,decided- ly chipper over business prospects in the west. The business revival of 1879 began in the southwest; this time there are many signs that 1t Is to begin in the west-in fact, that 1t has already begun. "Times" are much brighter in the West than In the East. Many more men are employed than even year ago and farmers are steadily and rapidly reduc- ing their indebtedness, the best possible indication of returning prosperity, not  only among them but the entire con- munity. Now if Congress would only decide upon something and then pack it's grip and go home we would all be happy While so impatient with the lawmakers, however, let us bear in mind that the new administration has not yet been three months in power and give the advance agent of prosperity time to de- liver his goods." MI. Phelps retired from the active management of the Home stead publications some six years ago, turning over the responsibilities to the hustling agricultural editor, Herbert Myrlck. Mir Phelps has since, if we are not mistaken, devoted much of his time to music publication. He is & most agreeable gentleman, and all who have worked under him remember him with affectionate regard.
