Cummings and The Tribune.

last of that small class which had per-
sonal acquaintance with both Greeley
and Dana While they were working to-
gether on the Tribune. He also follow

Cummings became managing editor
While on the Tribune Cummings asso-
ciates in addition to Greeley, were
George H. Ripley, the reviewer, Dana,
the managing editor Thompson, better
known as doe Sticks" who did the
funny work, William H. Fry, the must
cal critic, George NJ. Snow, the financial
editor and Foster. the city editor, with
Tom Rocker, foreman OF the compos ng
room. Bayard Taylor, the Tribune's
tourist, appeared occasionally and
among other attaches was Scion Robin
son, the agricultural editor, who became
noted for his ''Iot Corn stories. All
OF the above are now dead and Cum

To return to the Tribune its entire
editorial work at the time referred to
was zone IN one room and not very
large one at that. Greeley, however,
had Il little adjacent den where he
wrote standing and where he was ac-
cessible to all the bores and beggars
that might call, but as he could write
and talk at the same time he did not
seem to suffer from the annoyance.
Such was the old Tribune staff of which
Amos j. Cummings was the last, and
he certainly was one of its noblest
names. The old building in which this
work was done was demolished after
Greeley's death and the 100000 which
the association carried on his life paid
for the present printing house. He
loved the old rookery notwithstanding
its four-story stairs and all its incon-
venience and there he did his life
work and grand work it was Be
meath all his oddities and eccentricities
there was sturdy manliness in Greeley
which commanded respect, even from
his enemies, and there was also SYM
pathetic nature which awoke the love
of those who really knew him. He
was indeed, of all the men that ever
walked Printing House Square the best

In this Introductory essay Miss Scudder
deals frankly and wisely with that
natural cleavage of classes, which, UNI
less 1t be counteracted by some CON
sidered effort, tends to ALLEVIATE one
portion of the people from the other,
and so divide the democratic ideal upon
which our national structure IS based.

Potato Culture.

The certainty that Maine is to be the
great potato growing section of the country,
the growers here, suggests the Importance Of
looking sharply after purity and quality of
seed and the use of agents as insecticides
While promoting groWth and deye e OF
The many careful experiments carried for
ward by intelligent farmers last year with
Bug Death brought such uniform results
that their conclusions may well be accepted.
These show without question that Bug
Death kills the slugs, feeds the plants, in
spres growth and development of the leaves
until fully ripe, increases the yield material
ly as compared with all other agents, and
beyond this ensures that superior quality of
product so desired by every grower 1t
thus becomes the cheapest insecticide on
the market, not in first cost but in cash
value of the crop it ensures. Every man
who seeks to grow potatoes wants all he can
get and of the best quality, and these can be
obtained by the use of Bug Death. See ad.
