The flnal touches were put upou the place on n i luirsdny evening, but Ills cards did not announce tbe formal opening until the to.iowiiigTne-dav. I nskeil him u hy tie didn’t begin business at once, u* all was iu condition. ‘•My dear, sir," said lie, "you may laugh* >f you like, but I wouldn't opeu M new place on Friday for tbe world. No, sir; I’d he sold out*, under the huimucr in less than six mo uionthrf." i wouldn't opeu on Saturday, eith er. i tried it once, and I never bad any luck iu tlie place. There is no use templing late. I’d rather lose a tew dollar*. I would open on Monday, but the last saloon I had I was forced to clo-e twice ou tiiat day—once to bury my wife, aud again to bury my youngest child. Tuesday, Wednesday ami Thursday are good, solid, lucky days. I will open on Tuesday." Now, ou tills one point it would be quite as useless to argue with this liquor seller as to attack the rock of Gibraltar, witli a pen-knife. Aud in quiry prove* that a large majority of men who mix drinks are superstitious crunks in some direction. One ot tlie most ancient and most prevalent signs of bad iuck is the opening of an um brella in a saloon.

Illustrations innumerable might be riled iu an hour's stroll up Broadway to show that the bartender, while strong in liquor, is frequently weak iu spirit. A Flea for tke English Sparrow. From Wide Awak*. Even the kimMiearted John Bur roughs has given a reluctant assent to the popular verdict against the Eng lish sparrow. But a |mpular outcry is nor always well-founded. Tlie noisy, pugnacious, often gr«-edy little bird Im* such hosts of enemies that it Is only manly to see if popular prejudice is n< *t going too far, and whether or not ihe Englhh sparrow is a wholly bad bird. Some years ago I lived in a town in Western New York, not far from Ro- che*tcr. In my garden was a fine I •each tree, full of blossoms. As I iiveij iu the outskirt* of tbe toufe, a sparrow nt that time, seldom had beeu sc.-n in the garden. One day a neiglilior not two block* away *aiH to me: “Tlie English *|iar- rowH arc destroy lug all the pcarli blos- -oiu«! Smith and Id* imy* are *li«a»t- iug all I liat come iu Ids yard. But I won’t light tlie bird*. A* I can afford it, I preter to buy me peaches." •Smith and ids boys" saved the l>I»-*oiiis hut gut barely fifty peaches from a dozen trees and those were mostly too wormy to be used. My tree, untouched by tbe "blossom des troyers," had less than a dozen peaches, and they were wormy; while the friend who allowed tlie English sparrow s to work their own sweet will ' ' ‘ “ - ilrfcl had about half-bushels of fair-feheeked lull-sized, beautiful i>eaches. At the time when the blossoms were covering the trees, I had a newspaper controversy (through a Geneva jour nal) with a Rochester fruit-grower on tlds -ame subject, for I had examined lmtHlre is of blossoms and tonnd tlie germ of some insect, iu most of them. I iii-isted then, and still do insist, tiiat tlie sparrows destroyed such blossoms as not only would have destroyed the fruit for that year, but for many sub sequent yeats. There are portions of Iilii Inals in which farmers are unable to raise wheat on account of the weevil. But a great outcry is made, that tlie English sparrowdistroys wheat! How many have made an examination of what was being destroyed In order to tell positively whether the wheat was sound or not? Now, sons of farmers, you may help settle the question. It is not an unknightly deed to defend the character of an unpopular bird. Put down In a clear place one peck of sound wheat; then ten feet away put down one peck of wheat tbit is full of weevils; then stand back and wait and just notice what the sparrows do. 1 believe tiiat you will finu that in variably the diseased wheat will be eaten first. If the birds are very hun gry they may afterwards take tbe good \\ heat. * But even boys eat as long ss they are hungry. Po ‘or centuries the crow, too, bas been shot at, destroyed and abused by men, and to-day how few know—or will be lieve the good that crows do in agri- culture. I refuse to let anyone turb crows when they settle on my newly-planted com fields, and my neighbors, here in South Maryland, have to replant far more than I do. lispntc do not dispute that the crows take some toll for destroying the cutworm*, hem entitled to as much but 1 think them as they take. I took a neighbor through his owa com field, and offered him a dollar for every ear of com (not yet fully ripe) which had been partially eaten by the crows but which okl not shew traces of tlie com worm. He could not find one from wh*cb the crow had not first taken the worm. In no case could a sound ear be found that bad been dis turbed by the crow. Still tbe same uian coutinnes so shoot tbe crows.

"There is, and while tbe leaders of tiiat element have some following, it is neither large enough or strong enough to carry tiie prohibitionists of Georgia into a third party. Thatcan’t be done—you may depend upon it. Some of the third party advocates are pleased to compare prohibition to tlie old anti-slave party. Let me tell you the difference. Tue latter had to cre ate a sentiment; tlie prohibition senti ment is already created. It is here, and I am free to say tiiat there are ad vocates of the third party who would not hesitate to take advantage of that ready-made sentiment to lioist them selves into |M>Htiml (tower.

Indeed, the bulk of tbe party in power in Georgia are prohibltiouists. Tlie passage of tbe general local option law and the num ber of dry comities show that. Yes, Sam Small Is coming they say. Well, let us all bear what be has to say be fore making any criticisms. I am for almost anything that will kill whisky out, and, while I see do necessity for a third party, still, things Being equal, I will vote for a prohibitionist every time to e ii force a local option law. What about those two conventions? Well, 1 think the actiou of the conven tion of the 25tli will be indorsed by the prohibltioiitsL* of the State.

A valuable sort is worth more than merely a handsome tree. 2. Good, healthy, bracing roots are of more importance titan a sy metrical 3. Tite root* should be long and strong enougli, and tite top made light enough, to obviate any staking. 4. if tite roots of a tree are frozen, and tiien thawed oat of tite ground or in coutact with the air, tite tree will be killed. 5. If frozen roots are thawed in com pactly pressed mellow earth, the tree may be made to live. 6. Manure should never be placed Iu contact witli tiie roots when setting out a tree, but used as a mulch or top dress. 7. Trees should always be set about a* deep as they stood in the nursery, or two or three Inches deeper, to allow for the settling of tlie earth. 8. Spread out thejroot* nearly equal ly ou ail sides, so as to brace the tree well. 9. Avoid particulnrly any small cavity next the roots, but fill compact ly agaiit*t them on all sides with fine, mellow diit. 10. A small, thrifty tree with copi ous roots when set out, will tie a good I'cariug iree »ouuer tliau a large one with imiiihtled root*. 11. Watering in *lry weather crusts tiie suiface, and does not reac.i the root*. ^12. Young trees slionhi not be set in a gru-* lot, or among any crop ot sowed grain; hut the whole suiface kc|»f clean ; mi mellow. 13.

As a general rule, cultivation should la* continued for six, eight or ten year* from planting, of which clock ly grazed or lawn-mowed gras* tuay be permitted, with frtqueut top dressing. •17. Tlie amount of manuring or top- dressing must vary w ith the vigor ot tlie trees; 3'otiug trees should grow two or three feet yearly, aud larariug ones one foot or more. 18. Keep an eye to tlie future shape of tiie tne, and timely remove siualt, needless, cro-smg or crooked lnubs. This will obviate heavy pruning in after years 10. Pruning wlieu dormant tends to impart vigor; but If done when grow ing or i it leaf, it checks growth; and tlie relore a teebie tree should never be pruned after growth commence* in the spring. But healthy, strong grower* may be lightly pruned at either season. 20. Most of the "bad lock" with young trees and orchards D the result of neglecting preceding rules. A HUMAN TARGET.
