Thin out earthly the young fruit of choice varieties where too thickly set, and it's superior size and flavor will repay the

 trouble, if designed either for market pur- pose or home use. Prune away, or rub of any superfuous and i'll placed shoots of the fruit trees, especially those of the vine. Vine shoots near the ground must be removed. If the old vine has a stem too long and naked, strong shoot near the root may be reserved to take its place at the end of couple of summers growth. The old vine above may then be cut out. Do not pinch back the shoots reserved for the next years crop, but en- courage their growth as much as possible. Pinch of, if neglected in April, the ex- tremities of shoot new in fruit, that the strength of the shoot may go to swell the bunch. Leave four to six leaves above

 the bunch to shade it and elaborate the sap. Thin out entire punches of fruit where set too thick, and remove, if extra ordinary punches are desired, portion of the berries from each. Try applications of sulphur to drive off insects and protect from rot and mildew. Suppress all in furious shoots that would draw the sap from the new inserted gratis. Break off the points of young fig shoots, to make them swell their fruit. Water occasionally

 newly planted trees, and strawberry beds, in bearing, profuscly every other day, in dry weather. All watering at this sea son, should be done in the evening. Destroy caterpillars and other insects on your fruit trees and grape vines; kill aphides by fumigating with tobacco smoke. Destroy all slugs and snails found about fruit trees.-[ Southern Cultivator, May.

Tying her bonnet under her chin, She tied her golden ringlets in, But not alone in the slken snare, Did she catch her lovely, floating hair; For. tying her bonnet under her chin, She fled young mans heart within. They were strolling together up the hill, Where the wind comes blowing merry and

 chill,

 And it blew the curls a frolicsome race All over the happy, peach-colorcd face, Till, scolding and laughing she tied them in, Under her beautiful, dimpled chin. And it blew color, bright as the bloom Of the pinkiest fuschias tossing plume, All over the cheeks of the prettiest girl That ever imprisoned romping curl, Or, in tying her bonnet under her chin Tied a young mans heart within. Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill- Madder, merrier. chiller still The western wind blew down and played The widest tricks with the little maid, As, tying her bonnet under her chin, She tied young mans heart within. o, western wind, do you think it was fair To play such tricks with her floating hair To gladly, gleefully, do your best To blow her against the young mans breast, Where as gladly folded her in, And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin. 0, Ellery vane, you little thought, An hour ago, when you besought This country lass to walk with you, After the sun had dried the dew, What perilous danger you'd be in, As she tied her bonnet under her chin,

 E5rGen. W, an old friend of ours--now deceased-had a fast horse named Rawdon, we believe, and was not a man to be backed out when any one else thought he could beat him in race or any other way. A party of Tennesseeans brought a race horse to his neighborhood, and so match was soon made up between their nag and Rawdon. The Tenncsseeans, however to make ''dead thing" of it, concoctcd a plot to steal Rawdon from his stable at night and run him secretly against their horse--if the latter won, all right and if he lost, they could pay forfeit and back out. The General, by some means, got knowledge of what they intended, and took measures to facili- tate the carrying out of the plot. He went to his stable early in the night, securely fastened upon each of Raw don's fetlecks a bar of lead bent to make a snug fit. Then leaving the stable door unlocked, and giving the proper instructions to the groom, he awaited the result. The Tennessee horse of course, beat Rawdon that night easily; and the General was not surprised the following day to receive from his packers a proposition to double the bet" To this he readily assented, and in the real race, when Rawdon had free use of his heels, the General won all the money the Ten nesseeans could stake.-[Columbus (Ga.)

The report that the "-Albemarle Ghost"
had been captured turns out to be without
foundation, He, she, or it, is on the ram
page still. 4 letter from Scottosville, Dec.
I'd, to the Richmond Dispatch, says:


''The interest manifested in the mysterious
manifestations at the residence of J. s. Moon,
Esq, is still uuabatcd. The report that the
author of the disturbances has been discov.
cred and arrested is utterly without founda-
ton. For period Of nearly ten months Mr..
Moons residence has been occasionally haunt
ed by the mysterious stranger or strangers;
but it is unnecessary here to enter into a de-
tail OF the circumstances, as the Dispatch
has already furnished its readers with the
principal facts in the case.


"The first question now asked of any one
coming from Mr.. Moons neighborhood are.
What is the news from Mr.. Moon'sY Was
the rogue there last mighty His last dcci-
dcd demonstration was on last Tuesday night,
when he threw a few stones at the house.
The cause of his suspcnding operations for so
long time is supposed to be the fact that he
has recently had special reasons to fear detec-
ton. What these reasons are it would not
now be prudent to disclose To publish
them might lessen the chances of detecting
the bold perpetrators of these singular an,
noyances. Besides suspicion may now rest
on an innocent man.


cit Is certainly very strange affair We
call the thing a rogue; ard yet, if rogue
at all, he is only rogue in very small way
lie has had many opportunities to take
things OF value, but one or two pounds of
sugar aud coffee, few small articles of cloth
ing, aud two or three loads of powder aud
shot, are all that he is supposed to have taken.
1t is out of the question to suppose that he
wishes to do Mr.. Moon a personal injury, as
he might Go this at any time Nor vet Is it
probable that he is Influenced By FEELINGS of
hostility toward any member of the familv.-
That he should expose his life night after
night simply for the fun of the thing is al
most inconceivab!e. What then, can be his
motive! The future may reveal.


"Those who have had the best opportuni-
ties of knowing all the facts Of the case sun
pose that at least three persons have been
engaged in it. Only one, however, has ever
been seen at time. There is tan figure
and low figure, and another of which moth
ing is known. The tall figure, we believe. is
the most daring. He ESPECIALLY noted for

AQueretaro (Mexico) correspondent gives
the following details of the treatment which
is being vouchsafed the mortal remains
of the unfortunate Archduke by his Mex
lean executioners. BY any other people
such vaDdal conduct would appear lmpos-
sible:


I found the coffin containing the remains
in a room in the second story of the house
occupied by Sr. Don Munos Ledo.
soldier stood guard at the door, ready to
give admittance to all who might desire to
look at the body, which willingness was, In
our case, somewhat accelerated by the in
fiuence of few reals. The apartment bore
the appearance of having once been used
for store-room, and was both very dark
and extremely filthy.


The coffin stood in the centre Of the
room, resting upon couple OF rude wood
en- benches. 1t is covered with black cloth,
adorned with a cheap quality OF gold lace,
the top of which has false cover or lid,
opening which case revealed three glasses,
through which the silent form of the i'll
fated Austrian was shown by the aid of
penny tallow candle, kept by the soldier
| for visitors use. The Emperor was dressed
in a suit composed of blue coat, with
row of brass buttons in front. dark blue
pants and heavy cavalry boots. His hands
we're covered with pair of white gloves,
very much soiled. His mouth and eyes
were partially open, plainly showing his
teeth and the color of his eyes


His beard is quite gone, as well as the
greater part of his hair, which 1 am in
formed, has been cut by DR.. Lisso, who had
charge of the embalmment, and sold. He
received as high as five ounces-S8O-tor
small locks of the same. The body OF the
Emperor remained at Lissos house until
last week, when it was removed to its pres
ent location, during which time he made
use of it as . means of speculation. He
also disposed of whatever effects belonged
to Maximilan he could obtain, charging
large sums for pieces of his blood stained
garments, which he cut Up and sold 1t is
also alleged that he even removed small
portion of the skull, for which he received
a large sum, replacing it with wood. 1 can
not vouch for this, but it is generally be-
lieved here. The doctor affirms that the
government had failed to pay him his bill
for the embalmment of some $40, and
declares his intention Of making his money
the surest way possible.

Tho Diplomatic Quarrel In Chile and Peru.


1t appears that the silly misunderstanding
between Captain Stanley, Of the United States
ship Tuscarora, and Admiral Tucker, of the
allied navy of Peru and Chile, which caused
our government to order that the flag Of Peru
should not be saluted by American war vessels,
has led to some diplomatic complications which
are likely to be very annoying and possibly
protracted, and may interfere with the practical
operations Of the peace conference proposed
by the government at Washington. We have
before stated the facts in this case, which COM
menced with supposed insult offered to Cap
tain Stanley on board an English steamer by
Admiral Tucker, who was not then in command
of the allied squadron, nor was he in uniform,
and hence the insult, whatever it was, can
hardly be considered an official act, but an
affair purely personal between an ex-rebel
officer and an officer of our navy. We under
stand that it is regarded in this light by our
Minister to Chile, and that he is anxious that
our government should revoke its order. The
Minister of foreign affairs for the Chilean gov
ernment and the Peruvian Minister at Valpa-
raiso, it is understood, consider the slight of
some moment, and, having made common cause
of it refuse to resume the usual international
courtesies with our vessels until the order not
to salute the Peruvian flag is rescinded. When
all the facts in the case are fully understood
by the State Department we presume that the
affair will be settled without further trouble.
We trust that General Fitzpatrick will make
such explanations as will enable Mr.. Seward to
comprehend the whole Of this unfortunate dis
pute, which occurs at a most inopportune time

opening OF the Paris Exposittou.


The cable account which we gave yesterday
OF the opening ceremonies Of the Paris Exhi-
bition was sufficiently full to enable our read
ers to form an idea Of its character and pros
poets. This is certainly not favorable. Its
imperfect state Of preparation, its dusty and
choked up avenues and general air Of discom-
fort and confusion are not what people were
led to expect from the boasted French talent
for organization. It would have been better
to have delayed the opening awhile than to
have made such show as this. What is the
use of despotic institutions if they cannot in
sure something a little less democratic and
disorderlys


1t is impossible to come to any other con-
clusion on reading this account than that the
Exhibition must prove failure With the ex-
ception of the London one everything Of the
kind that has been attempted-0ur own not
excepted-has been so. The present Exhibition
may serve to feed the vanity of the French
and to put money in the pockets of the Paris
nsarchands; but it will disappoint tie rest of
the world. So far as Americans are con-
cerned they will derive neither industrial nor
commercial benefits from it. They will simply
have an opportunity of seeing the elephant at
the largest possible figure. The Paris people
are experienced hands in taking care of
strangers. The foreigners who have gone
there for the Exhibition have already evidence
of their hospitable disposition IN the raising
of the hotel and restaurant prices fifty per
cent beyond their usual rates.


AS an enterprise protesting to have inter
national interests in view it is evident, there
There is wanting on the part of the hosts the
spirit required to render it so. Before it il
fairly inaugurated the foreign contributors
will all be disguised with it. Between disap
pOintment with the internal arrange
ments and annoyance at the extortiont
praetised on them they will soon wish them
selves home again. But they are unreasonable
in this They had fair warning that the thing
was not got up for their benefit They were in
vited there for political, and not for an indus
trial object This was simply to assist the
Emperor in bridging over by . so-called Indus
trial Congress the domestic and diplomatic EN-
barrassments in which he finds himself in
volved.


Will the Exhibition accomplish that end
We doubt it. We question whether it will
even be suffered to run it's course uninter
rupted. There are war clouds gathering in the
continental atmosphere. Between the strong
anti-French feeling which is manifesting itsel
in Germany and the unmistakable shaping o.
events by Russia for the seizure of Constanti
nople 1t is not improbable that before the
summer is half over the French people will
have something more serious than the Exhibi-
ton to think Of, and that Paris will be emptied

assembling of a convention, which we
affirm with evidence before us, has been
ordered under pretense of votes which we're
