The Dec.y and Karly Death of Fruit
Tree*.
This is a subject In which every citizen should
feel a deep interest. Great praise is due to those
patriotic men by whose skill and sedulous caro
the qualities of fruits havo been so vastly im
proved. And yet, alter a widely-extended in
vestigation, the writer is convinced that about in
the same ratio in which tho fruit has been im
proved, the thrift and duration of most kinds ol
fruit trees havo been retrograded. This is the
well-known and lamentable tact from the James
river to the Indian bonier, Westward, and trom
the Everglades to the high Northern climes.
What the cause, or the various causes of their
deterioration may be, and what the remedies
and preventatives, demands the most thought
ful observance. Here science might well aflord
to extend her accumulated stores of knowledge.
The skill and experience gathered during the
past and the present age, in our own and
other countries, should be put in requisition. It
-might bo-weil to visit the refolutionary~orckards
—examine the localities, the soil, the early rear
ing, and the general treatment of those veteran
trees, from one to two feet in diameter, and capa
ble of bearing, each, n good supply for a house
hold ! Such sights we shall seldom, if ever,
again sec, unless the causes of modern decay be
liscovcred and counteracted.
Where trees are found, that have for a long
time borne fruit, it is important to ascertain: 1st.
Whether they are native growth, or have been
graftal. 2d. At what distance planted from
ich other—whether close enough to shade the
ground densely, or afforded full diffusion qf botli
sunshine and breezes. 8d. Whether the grounds
among them have been cultivated as crop lands,
or left generally undisturbed, as is the case with
forest trees. 4th. Whether manures have been
added; if so, what kinds. 5th. Whether sheep,
hogs and poultry have had access to the or
chards ; or has it been closed ngainst them. 6th.
Whether fruit trees surrounded by forest growth
have not been more tenacious of life, than those
exposed the whole day to the burning sunshine.—
th. Whether a mixture of several different kinds
f fruit trees—apples, cherries, plums, pears,
peaches, figs, and apricots—has not been found
deleterious to botli the trees and their products.
8lh. Whether stimulating manures do not hasten
decay. Otli. Whether it is not true that the richer
and more luscious the fruit, the sooner is the
tree exhausted.
The object 1 of these queries is to elicit thought,
and promote research. A single incident often
ads to the establishment of a great general
nth. An example of this kind once occurred:
A farmer, in building his hog pen in his orchnrd,
nailed some ol the boards against two peach
trees. Those trees far out-lived any of the rest
in the same row I This led to the belief that
mall nails driven into peach trees near the root,
will prevent the intrusion of worms. But the
question might be asked, was it the hogs or the
mils? the one separately, or the two conjointly ?

In Terre Haute, Indiana, the other day a care
less fellow, after smoking, put his pipe into hhr
jxtekel willr a small package of gunpowder. He
had occasion to remember Ids folly a few minutes
later.
According to the statistics, Turkey, iu 1885,
■had 15,000schools, attended by 600,000 boys and
girls, out of a population ot 25,000,000. In Rus
sia there are 20,000 schools and 900,000 boys at
tending them.
An offlciul statement just published, gives the
population of the city of London at 1,410,910
males, and 1,621,072 females. The number of
births in the city during the year 1800, was 107,-
992; the number of deaths, 80,129.
A great revival recently took place in the
county of Sterling, Scotland, in the region of the
iron and coal mines, originating, it is said, in the
open-air preaching ot one or two Evangelists
from Glasgow. The meetings have been con
ducted by fishermen of various denominations.
A committee of the New York Legislature
lias been investigating the affairs of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company. Among the deposi
tions taken was that ol Leonard W. Jerome,
who stated that he bad lost $800,000 in different
stocks since last February. The President slated
that the company was worth $37,000,000.
The emancipation ol the Russian sorts is still
far from being completed. According to an of
ficial return just published, there were at the be-
iuniug of tho present year no fewer than 3,965,-
.10 peasants still under obligation, while the
number ol those who had been freed from their
obligations up to that date is 5,810,601
A project lias been started in Paris for rais
ing n sum of £12,000, in 1,000 shares, for send
ing an expedition to the North pole. It is pro
posed to give the expedition a mercantile charac
ter in some respects, so as to afford to sharehol
ders a chance of not losing their money, but its
cbjef object i3 to be scientific.
A party of seven, men, women and children,
while crossing the Mississippi river on tire ice,
Mu
about four miles above Muscatine, all broke
through and barely escaped, after being in the
water for some time. Mr. Buttman escaped by
catching hold of tho tail of a Newfoundland dog,
which rnu to him, the dog dragging him out.
A young girl named Fannie Cornell, who
lives as a domestic in the family of Rabbi Gott-
helf, in Louisville, Kentucky, lias had a habit of
attempting to commit suicide every time her
mistress reprimands her. She lias tried hanging
in the garret and laudanum in the kitchen, but
thus far her efforts have proved unsuccessful.

I have read the long list of lady petitioners in

will never do to allow them to hold office.—

ociety, or Mrs. Secretary Jones, of the Hindoo
Lid Association, or Mrs. Treasurer of something
otiier. They are fond ol the distinction of
lie thing, you know; they revel in the sweet
ingle of the title. They are always setting up
anetified confederations of all kinds, and then
.inning for president of them. They are even
m loud of office that they are willing to serve
k ithout pay. But you allow them to vole and
a to the Legislature once, and then see how it
f ill li«. They will go to work and start a (liou-
mij more societies, and cram them full of salu-
ied offices. You will see a state of things then
hat will stir your feelings to the bottom of your
no kefs. The first foe bill would exasperate you
anc. Instead of the usual schedule tor judges,
tale printer, Supreme Court clerks, etc., the list
lould read something like this:

You know what a state of anarchy and social
haos tiial fee bill would create. Every woman
the Commonwealth of Missouri would let go
erything to run for State Milliner. And in-
cud ot ventilating each other’s political ante-
denls, as men do, they would go straight alter
,cli other’s private moral character. (I know
rent—they are all like my wife.) Before the
tinvass was three days old it would be an estab-
elied proposition that every woman iu the State
is “no better than she ought to be.” Only
„ink how it would lacerate me to have an op
osition candidate say that about my wife. That
i the idea, you know—having other people to
ay these hard things. Now, I know that my
fife isn't any better than she ought to be, poor
evil—in fact, in matters of orthodox doctrine,
he is particularly shaky—but still I would not
ke these things aired in a political contest. 1

hey may be allowed to wear the whiskers long,
in imitation of the navy, who now stand in such
deservedly high esteem after gallantry. But
they are not to wear them of a length mutton
chop in fashion, so as to hide the insignia of rank
and the decorations.

Nine ol the largest diamonds ever seen in this
country are now on view at Reed’s “diamond
parlor,” New York. They are attached to a
string of sixty-nine rare pearls, the whole form
ing a necklace and brooch which, for value and
beauty of the stones, are unequaled by any but
the court jewels. It has taken five years to
make this collection of massive brilliants, and
the price of the trifling bauble is only sixty thou
sand dollars—a larger sum, we believe, than was
put on any single piece of jewelry yet manufac
tured in America.
The New Orleans Picayune,ol the 80th, says:
“The crevasse at Grand Levee is now about a
half mile wide, with tlie water pouring through
with great rapidity. The current of the main
river is diverted more or less the entire width of
the river. Steamers passing down the river,
when nearing the break, are obliged to head well
over to tho port side to avoid being drawn into
it. The river below has fallen over a foot since
this break occurred. It is contended that the
break in the Grand Levee will save all o! our
country below from inundation.”
Some time ngo the Secretary of the Treasury
received intelligence ot the seizure, at Belfast,

smuggled into the United Stetea trom Canada,
and which are valued at thirty thousand dollars.

The London Bookseller publishes an article ou
“The Literature ol Vice”—the penny and half
penny romances of murder, robbery, seduction
and adultery—in which we find some curious de
tails'. Thus we read: " As the rate of remunera- ,
tion received by the writers of these stories, we j
understand that two guineas lor a sheet of eight I
pages is considered good payment, while in some j
few cases men are to be found who can provide
enough writing to fill eight pages of close print,
each number xvarranted to contaiu at least one
murder, fire, shipwreck or seduction, lor fifteen
shillings! On the other hand, two or three of
the writers of those sensation stories are likewise
their proprietors; and considerable sums are said
to have been yearly netted for their sale in penny
numbers.”
The portrait of Queen Victoria, to be present
