ALONHO GARCI A.

Tom Bannick and his wife soon moved
into their new quarters, and Mrs. Raven
and Olympia accompanied them. Olym-
pia, indeed, had felt somewhat sensitive
about keeping up such intimate relations
with people now grown wealthy, but she
Welded to the Bannicks obviously sim
cere protestations. Besides, the price
given for her pictures by Count de Lisle
and his promise to order another made
her feel almost rich herself.
One morning while she was painting
in the little room set apart for her studio,
and her mother and Mrs. Bannick were
out shopping, the Count de Lisle's card
was brought in to her. Hes come to
give me the order!' she said to herself,
and rejecting that it would be business
like to receive him in her studio palette
in hand, she babe the servant conduct
him in.
He presently appeared, filling up the
doorway with his tall, military figure.
Olympia, rising, glanced at his yellow,
upright hair, his shining eyeglasses, and
his short pointed beard, and feared she
would find him tircsone. But he had
been so good to her friends and herself,
and rumor made him out so extraor-
binary Il parsonage, that she was dis
posed to make the most of any promising
traits he might display.

THE TOBACCO PLANT.
All About "suckerS" in Connection
Herewith.
CFor the Dispatch.)

(fOr the DlSpdtCn.t
1t has long been known that tobacco is
a perennial plant. Isolated stalks have

favored spots and soil and when pro-
tected by other growths. If left 10 grow
I'm its natural state. the tobacco family
will bear offshoots or suckers between
every leaf of the plant; the uppermost
will flower and seed. To give the plant
body, leafness, and spread, the suckers
are regularly pinched off, and after
certain height commensurate with the
strength of the soil and the quality OF
tobacco desired, according to the season
and condition of the plant, the plant IS
TONED and the seed-buds broken off. A
few plants are left to seed; these ara
also "suckered."
In Cuba several crops are made from
one seasons planting, and every leaf or
the several crops thus secured is graded
very closely, making a great variety oil
tobacco, differing vastly in quality. The
plant is cut when first ripened; the suck
er-at least one-is allowed to grow from
next the ground.
This does very well in such climate
for cigar-tobacco, but for our section this
sucker crop brings poor results. 1t is a
crop from which above process our one

men of shoe-string leaf has been aptly
applied to it. 1t made a snowy strip, and

Our manufacturers avoid it and kindred,

such is our finest chewing plug made.
Yes, from a very early cut crop, ana
from a crop badly damaged by water, a
