Many persons believe that
spring is the best time to plant
strawberries but the Ohio Farm
er seems to be Of different opin-
ion, and gives the following direc-
tions for fall planting:


" When plants are well set in
the fall, they will fruit the next
season, as it is the tall growth of
root which supports the plant for
the next years fruiting. 60 into
your garden to-day and pull up a
strawberry plant which has fruited
this season, and you will see the

still as difficult as it ever was to
decide who is likely to fall in love

to his plans, and the Captain, named after the
famous vessel which Nelson commanded at
the battle of Cape st. Vincent, was completed
under this arrangement only few months ago.


Her first cruise, we believe, was made III
company with the Monarch. A Cable dis
patch at the time represented her performance
as q disappointment but mail advices proved
this report to be entirely false. She behaved
admirably, both in rough and pleasant
weather, and under sail, in spite of certain
drawbacks which could easily be remedied,
she fairly beat the Monarch, which latter ship,
it will be remembered, when she came
to America with the remains of Mr.
Peabody, was the admiration of all our sailors
for her speed, steadiness, and ease of hand
ling. The Captain afterward joined Admiral
Sir r. C.. SymOnds's squadron in the Bay OF
Biscay, where on the Both of May she rode out
a violent gale in the most beautiful manner,
the waves sweeping over her decks, while not
a bucketful of water entered the vessel. In
the midst of the storm the turret guns, by way
of experiment, were fired to windward, with
full battering charges On another occasion
the guns were fired at mark, in the midst OF
a heavy storm, and at the third discharge the
target was ueInOll5neu III uot"hOc vi tVVV
yards.


If trial-trips can prove anything, they seem
then to have proved that the Captain was In
far less danger of foundering than a wooden
ship of the same size and we shall await with
curiosity the detailed accounts OF this catas-
trophe, which at first sight seems to over
turn with one blow one of the most important
and persistently held theories of naval archi-
lecture. The loss of the Captain is the more
shocking because her designer Captain Coles,
has perished with her. Another OF the We
tins, Mr. Childers, son of the First Lord OF
the Admiralty, was, if our memory serves us'
one of the junior officers of the Monarch, on her
visit to this country. Lord Northbrook,
third victim, was Under Secretary for War
The commander of the unfortunate vessel was
Captain II. T. BurgOyne.

The ex-EmperOr is reported safely sepul-
chered at Wilhelmsh0he. For the fallen-as

fallen greatness halt to conclusion so lame
and impOtent. Napoeon's career, even in its
most brilliant movements was cursed by a
certain lumpsh, wooden inertia peculiarly his
Own-it has made his final tumble both lum-
bering and ludcrous. If he had ridden to
meet Death and Disaster at Sedan with elan
enough to leave his body dead on the field,
our ELUSIVE Gallo brethren would no doubt
have embalmed it in glory and in tears by
this time, instead of dismissing it with jeers
to the eternal dullness of the Jail. Life is
sweet and the consideration that living dog
is better than dead lion doubtless hath its
solace yet the Nephew of his Uncle is surely
shrewd enough to see that in holding on dog
gedly the other day to his unable life he
missed the best opportunity that ever came to
him in it. He wrote two folios to suggest
the resemblance between himself and
Caesar and Napoleon. The resemblance lay
deeper than he knew. Egotists and
absolutists alike, they all drank of
the blood of the nation to give them
strength, but found in it virus that proved
fatal to them. But his prototypes knew how
to quit the stage. "When you have made
"point with your audience, leave it," quoth
Pelham. The little gray-cOated figure on the
a-grt rock, or Caesar, in his mantle mnflling
up his face, fallen at the base OF Pompey's
statue, meet their victor Death with the bear
ing of kings who have reached the end of
their stately journeys. "Hell from beneath is
"mOved to meet them at their coming; it

drbbles out into dreary farce The reporters,

The advance of the PrusSians upon Paris
continues without interruption from the French
forces. They are reported at several points
near the Capital, the numerous columns NOV
ing by every road convergtng from the north
east and east upon the city. Unless the pub
lie sentiment of his countrymen, or his own
sense of humanity and pity restrain him, there
is virtually nothing to keep King William out
of Paris. The military power of France is
broken. The Germans have already passed
the natural barrier of the ArgOnne forest,
where Dumouriez i'll 1892 turned back the
PruSsians in their invasion of the Republic.
The Germans have marched through and
through this intricate country of alternate
forest and lagoon in rapid pursuit OF an enemy
they have utterly destroyed. The Prussians
are indeed beyond the positions which Napoleon
in 1914, with IN army proportionately larger
than the French now possess, abandoned as
indefensible against smaller number of allies
advancing in less compact columns than those
of the German armies of 1870. The greatest
soldier of his day pronounced Paris indefen-
sble when these positions were lost. How
then can the French now hope to maintain
the siege of a more helpless city against the
first soldier and the strongest army OF Europe !
1t is reported that the Prussians are TO be in
position before the city by Wednesday next.
Before that time we hope to record an arnlls-

Senator the other day that there
was not a Radical in the entire
South who was qualified to be
placed on the Supreme Bench,
and that everybody else there who
was qualified by education and
ability for such a position, was
disqualified in other respects for
such appointment. This is the

at the Capital to bring personal and
moral pressure to bear upon the members
of the legislature to secure the passage of
the State Police bill. No public meeting

since, but personal appeal is to be made
to each member to give his vote for this
reformatory measure. This bold and
novel method of securing legislation will
pro badly be effective and each individ ual
put upon the record. The enactment of
State Constabulary Police force will
make great revolution in Vermont, and
the people will look with anxiety at its
workings and developments. Great
division of opinion exists as to the prac-
tical workings of the law. Some predict
entire suppression of the liquor traffic
under such law, and others say mobs,
riots, etc, will result from its enforce
ment. But we must await with patience
the result.

By a recent decision of the Circuit Court

counties before offering their patents for

ct ais Shoope brought SUIT for the recov-
cry of the price of one of Healy's Self-Ac-
ting Patent Wagon Brakes and the defen-
dant sought to avoid the recovery on the
ground that the plaintiff had no license from
the County Court Clerk here allowing him
to sell his Patent at the time the contract
was made. The Court decided that the
State had no right to require him to take
out such license, and that the ACT requir-
ing him to do it was unconstitutional and
void, in conflict with the Constitution and
laws of the United States; and therefore
Shoope was bound to recover, and the
