THE E a Ct E E. INibfislied Every Friday Morning. 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-* drawing it and looking at the hole. 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 ble to the fortunate, succorous to the unfortunate, ennobling to the slave, and elevating to the noble.

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.

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.
