FRUIT (.ARDEN.
This and the next month are best
for trimmiDg fruit trees. We cannot
repeat too often that shoit trunks and
low heads are indispensable in our hot
climate for protection against the sun.
Where trees are trimmed up high,
there is a constant tendency for
sprouts to spring from the stem near
the ground—and the bark is almost
certain to be killed on the south west
side of the trunk. We prefer the pyr
amidal shape for almost every variety
of fruit trees. If young trees have been
neglected the past summer, bring them
as near to the pyramid as possible by
shortening the branches, leaving the
lowest longest, the next above shorter
and so on to near the top, leaving one
strong vigorous upright shoot, some
ten inches higher than any other, for a
leader. Have an eye also to thinning
out the interior branches so as to leaye
that head open.
Cut off half the last year’s growth of
bearing peach trees, to diminish the
fruit buds and increase the vigor oi
those left. Indeed all kinds of fruit
will bear this thinning out of fruit
buds—the size of the fruit will more
than make up for the diminished
number. Search out and destroy the
borer.
Give each tree a top-dressing of ash
es scattered as far from the trunk as
the limbs extend—a peck to a half
bushel to each tree. An addition o!
an equal quantity of lime will be very
beneficial to apple trees.
Make a thick wash of lime two parts
and sulphur and soot one each, and
apply it freely to the stem and branch
es—taking care that an extra supply is
given to the forks of the stem where
the larger limbs grow out—as it is at
these points that disease and insects
most readily find lodgment. We ad
vise this wash for every tree in the or
chard.—Southern Cultivator.
FRANCE AND HER METHOD.
Tho English papers are expressing
their astonishment at the prosperity of
France. It seems that that thrifty re
public has an anual revenue of $500,-
000,000, which is $150,000,000 more
than that of Great Britain. To be
sure, France has a somewhat larger
population, but, on the other hand,she
has nothing to parallel the commerce
and the foreign possessions of Eng
land When Germany imposed upon
Franco the enormous fine of $1,000,-
000,000 at the close of the late war, it
was supposed that the latter country
was hopelessly crippled for at least a
generation. But she has completely
recovered her former spirit, and is now
spending more on the reorganization
of her army than it cost during the
pompous days of the empire. It is es
timated that the disastrous war and
the foreign occupancy cost nearly $2,-
000,000,000, and it illustrates the mar
velous elasticity of the finances of
France. It is to be remarked that the
panics which have swept over Europe
and America have had very little effect
on France. Her people never go in
debt. There is no commercial specu
lation in that country, and having no
debts to meet there are no fears of an
inability to pay, and hence no panics.
But there is another reason for
France’s prosperity: she obtains great
prices for her manufactures. Luxuries
always fetch more than necessities in
proportion to their cost. Still, ingen
uity, and tatste are extravagantly paid
for. France thus lays the whole world
under tribute. Her fancy goods com
mand fancy prices. Being fertile and
imaginative she takes the raw staples
of all the world, and they are trans
formed at her touch. She adds to
their market value five times, ten
times, a thousand times. This phase
of French industry deserves study and
imitation.- —Chronicle and Sentinel.
It is worth while to know how to
stop bleeding from the nose when it
becomes excessive. If the linger is
pressed firmly upon the little artery
which supplies blood to the side of the
fact affected, the result is accomplish
ed. Two small arteries branching up
from the main arteries on each side of
the neck and passing over the outside
of the jaw-bone, supply the lace with
blood. If the nose bleeds from the
right nostril, for example, pass the
finger along the edge of the right jaw
till the beating of the artery is felt.
Press hard upon it, and the bleeding
will cease. Continue the pressure five
minutes, until the ruptured vessels in
the nose have time to contact.
Mr. J. B. Fort, of Marion Junction,
Alabama, a practical and excellent far
mer, killed a lot of hogs, grown by
himself, one year old, which averaged
net 183| pounds. He estimates the
cost of his pork, including attention to
the hogs, at less than three cents a
pound. His experiment shows that
one bushel of raw corn will make ten
pounds of pork; if ground and soaked
till sour, it will make fourteen or fif
teen pounds.
A substitute for soap. A woman in
Alleghany county, N. Y., hasn’t used
soap in her kitchen for five years. She
heats the water and then pours iu a
little milk. This softens the water,gives
the dishes a fine gloss, and doesn’t
spoil the hands.
A farming company on Elm river,
California, is breaking in a prairie six
miles wide for wheat. Each of the
teams cuts a furrow of that length and
back before and the same after dinner.
A DOG ON THE WIRES.
A good story comes from Norwalk, ■
Conn. One day last week, a gaunt,
slabsided chap with particles of hay
seed on his coat and in his tow-colored
hair, stepped up to the telegraph of
fice at the railroad depot and asked if
the boss was in. The operator assur
ed him that he was, and his rural
friend went on to relate that he lived
up in Danbury, had come dowm from
there that morning and had intended
bringing his brother’s dog, which a
man in Norwich wanted to buy, but
had forgotton it, and wanted to know
if the dog could be sent down from
then by telegraph. The man of lightn
ing seeing a good chance for a little
fun, at once answered—
‘Certainly, sir, that is a matter of
daily occurrence; all that is necessary
for you to do is to give me a descrip
tion of the dog, so that no mistake can
be made; call again in about half an
hour, and the dog will be here.’
It is a yellow dog with small ears,
and is about so high,’ said the Gran
ger, placing his hand about eighteen
inches from the floor. He then took
his departure with the remark that he
would call again soon. The operator
then sent his messenger boy to look
for a dog as near the description as
possible, which, he soon succeeded in
finding. It was at once brought to
the office and secured to the operator’s
desk by means of a piece of telegraph
wire. After a little coaxing the dog
was made to lie quietly down and eve
rything was in readiness for our rural
friend. Punctual to the time appoint
ed he made his appearances, and asked
if the dog had come.
‘I will see,’ said the operator, and
stepping up to the instrument he tap
ped a few times on the key, at the
same time inserting his leg under the
desk, he managed to step on the dog’s
toes, which caused the canine to yelp.
‘Ah ! he’s coming,’ said the operator
and then tapping more furiously on
the key, he, at the same time, kicked
the dog clean from under the table,
who, not relishiug this kind of treat
ment, breaking furiously and ran
around the office with the wire attach
ed to his neck. ‘Fifty cents, sir,’ said
the operator, turning around to the
countryman. ‘Uncommon nice dog,
must be worth SSO; but he is the hard
est dog I ever received over the wires;
he is so muscular, you see, that he
broke the wire, in fact a piece of it is
now attached to his neck, which he
broke off.’
During the wholgr of this operation
the countryman ga4ed on the operator
with eyes wide op|h and full of sur
prise; but when the dog game from
under the table erad was seen by the
countryman, that-WSS Tfftf culminating
point, and he was struck with amaze
ment. After looking at the dog a mo
ment or so, he Said, ‘Say mister, he
ain’t so big as he was,and he is darker,
how is that?’
‘Oh ! that is easily explained,’ said
the operator; ‘you see the chemicals
employed in making electricity of
course darkens his original color, and
the velocity with which he passed over
the wire caused him to contract in
size; but after you exposo him to the
air for a short time he will soon as
sume his origiual size and color.’
‘Du tell,’ said the countryman, and,
after placing fifty cents on the coun
ter, picked up the dog and walked out
of the office, remarking that ‘the men
who inveuted them telegraglis must be
a very knowledgeable man.’
‘Nothing,’ says John Foster, ‘more
palpably betrays littleness, meanness
of soul, than a supercilious looking
down on estimable friends, of inferior
order, after a man has attained some
unexpected elevation.’ And yet noth
ing is more common. A man meets
with a sudden increase of wealth, and
he fails to recognize as acquaintances
those whose favor he once courted. A
man forms distinguished acquaint
ances, and the plain people with
whom he was glad to associate are
passed by. According to Foster there
must be a great deal of meanness of
soul in the world.
A man who had missed his way for
tunately overtook a boy going with a
pot of tar to mark his master’s sheep.
He asked him the road to Banfi, but
was directed by so many turnings,
right and left, that he agreed to take
the boy behind him on his horse.
Finding the boy pert and docile, he
gave some wholesome advice, adding
occasionally, ‘Mark me well, my boy.’
‘Yes, sir, I do.’ He repeated the in
junction so often that the boy at last
cried out, ‘I canna mark you ony mair,
as the tar has geen oot.’
It is said that the unpleasant squeak
of boots and shoes may be prevented
by simply driving a row of pegs through
the sole from the toe toward the heel.
The noise is caused by the friction of
the layer iu the centre. This method
stiffens the sole somewhat, but is pre
ferable to the intolerable sole agony.
But, then, the folks at large wouldn't
know we had on new boots, and that’s
half the fun of anew pair.
Mrs. Mary S. Oliver, a citizen of
Pennsylvania and clerk iu the Treas
ury, has instituted suit against Hon.
Simon Cameron for breach of promise
of marraige- Damages, $50,000. The
respective ages of the parties are 35
and 78.
The man who is anxious to see how
the world could get along without him,
can find out by sticking a cambric
needle in a mill-pond, and then with-*

PALESTINE.
Palestine is gradually undergoing a
transformation through the foreign col-.
onies that arc being planted in it.
German colonies, over a thousand
strong, since 1870 have sprung up in
various parts. There are six flourish- j
ing settlements; one in the valley of |
Rhephain, where David slew the Phil
istines, about twenty miles from Jeru
salem, built along both side of the
road to Gaza; another near Jaffa, which
is successfully cultivating the vine and
mulberry and raising silk. It has
filled the once treeless solitude in that
vicinity with a thousand trees, an un
usual sight in the naked wilds of Pal
i estine. At Caiffa there is a settlement
; of three hundred and fifty persons and
| fifty houses, which has planted the
slopes of Mount Carmel, that were for
merly overgrown with thorny thickets,
with extensive vine-yards and olive
groves besides putting in successful
operation an oil and silk factory and a
saw mill. In Nazareth, Jerusalem, and
Gaza there are other groups of colo
| nists, agriculturists, mechanics, and
I manufacturers. Quite an active trade
is carried on by the German house of
Breisch, at Jaffa, with Triest, Asia Mi
nor, and Macedonia in building tim
ber, which is scarce and dear in Pales
tine. The Germans have laid down
wooden floors in their houses at Jeru
-1 salem, instead of the stone floors in
universal use by the people of thecoun
i try. Several of the mercantile houses
employ considerable capital. Among
other improvements is anew road from
: Jaffa to Jerusalem, w’liich has been
: opened by the enterprising settlers at
Jaffa. The success of these colonies is
attracting other immigrants from Ger
many to Palestine. —Philadephia Press.
A ’Yankee poet thus breaks forth:
‘Oh ! the snore, the beautiful snore,
filling the chamber from ceiling to
floor ! Over the coverlet, under the
sheet, from her wee dimpled chin to
her pretty feet! Now rising aloft like a
bee in June; now sunk to the wail of a
cracked basson ! Now flute like, sub
siding, then rising again, is tho beau
tiful snore of Elizabeth Jane ’
There is something refreshing in the
absolute astonishment that visitors to
a printing office sometimes display at
the commonest things. ‘What is that
black-looking thing standing up in that
corner ?’ is sometimes asked by an un
sophisticated observer, and the nearest
typo answers: ‘That is the printing of
fice towel. We always stand it up in
that corner.
The depravity of man, is a continu
ous working evil. It is a hater of all
good works; and the sooner it is dis
pensed with the better. It is a spread
ing, corrupting, ill-disposed malady,
costly to the people beyond computa
tion; and yet a wayward people
embrace it as a friend, pay its bills,
and at last sink into the pit of predi
tion—depravity’s great store house.
Warren county has a natural curios
ity in the shape of a woolly hog. The
animal is undoubtedly a fat porker,
but its back and sides are competely
covered with a thick curly, dark brown
wool, exactly like that of a sheep. It
has legs like a hog’s and feet like a
sheep’s. It is apparently two years
old.
When John Sherman called the mem
ber of the Louisiana returning board
the peers of any man in the Senate, he
undoubtedly spoke from the republican
standpoint which condones the sins of
a Congressional Railroad speculator
and pardons the convicted members of
the whsikey ring.
It was a saying of Aristotle, that
virtue is necessary to the young, com
fortable to the aged, serviceable to the
poor, ornamental to the rich, honora

unfortunate, ennobling to the slave,
and elevating to the noble.

THE SUN.
1877. New York. 1877.
THE different, editions of The Sun during
x the next year will be the same as during
the year that has just passed. The daily edi
tion will on week days be a sheet 01 lour
pages, and on Sundays a sheet of eight pages,
or 06 broad columns; while the weekly edition
will be a sheetiof eight pages of the'same di
mensions and character that are already fami
liar to our friends.
The Sun will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform aud retrenchment, and of
the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom,
and integrity for hollow pretence, imb cility,
and fraud in the administration of public
affairs. It will contend for the government of
the people by the people and for the people,
as opposed to govern cent by frauds in the
ballot-box and in the counting of votes, en
forced by military violence. It will endeavor
to supply its readers—a body now not far from
a million of souls—with the most careful,
complete, and trastworthy accounts of current
events, and will employ for this purpose a
numerous and carefully selected staff of re
porters and correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate,
and fearless; and it will doubtless continue to
deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who
thrive by plundering the Treasury or by
usurping what the law does not give then),
while it will endeavor to uneritythe confidence
of the publio by defending the rights of the
people against the encroachments of unjustifi
ed power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents
a month or SG 50 a year, post paid, or with
the Sunday edition $7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, sl,-
20 a year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 66 broad
columns, will be furnished during 1877 at the
rate of SI a year, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed
by individual subscribers without the necessi
ty of making up clubs. • At the same time, if
any of our friends choose to aid in extending
our circulation, we shall be grateful to them,
aud every such person who sends us ten or
more subscribers from one place will be enti
tled to one copy of the paper for himself with
out charge. At one dollar a year, postage
paid, the expenses of paper aud printing are
barely repaid; and, considering the size of the
sheet and the quality of its contents, we are
confident the people will consider The Weekly

FOH 1 877 .
On Ihe Ist of January, 1877, the Morning
News enters upon its twenty-seventh volume,
and, it is hoped by its conductors, upon a
prosperous year. Every returning anniversa
ry has witnessed its extending influence, and
to-day it is the text of the political faith of
thousands of readers. Its uniform consisten
cy and steadfast devotion to principle has
gained for it the confidence of the public,thus
enabling it to contribute largely to the tri
umph of the Democratic party.
In the future, as in the pas', no pains will
be spared to make the Morning New in every
lespeet still more deserving of the confidence
and watronage which has been so liberally ex
tended to it bs the people of Georgia and
Florida. The ample means of the establish
ment will be devoted to the improvement of
the paper iu all its departments, and to mak
ing it a comprehensive, instructive and relia
ble medium of the current news. Its staff of
special correspondents—at Washington, At
lanta, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and other
points of interest—has been reorganized with
a view of meeting every possible emergency
that may arise, and pains will be taken to
make its commercial news, foreign and do
mestic, complete and reliable.
As we are about entering upon the new year,
we desire to eall especial attention to our club
rates of subscription.
POSTAGE FREE.
We will pay postage on all our papers going
to mail subsribers, thus making the Morning
News the cheapest newspaper of its size aud
character in the South.
