: Prof. Charles S. Sargent, the director
. of the Arnold Arboretum, makes an an
nouncement whicli will be of particular
interest to fruit growers. It seems that
. in 1879 a distinguished German botanist.
Dr. Bretschneidcr, then in China, sent
to the Arboretum some stones from
" peaches which he had gathered from
trees growing wild in the mountains in
the neighborhood of Pekin. The trees
raised from these seeds have grown in
fine shape, and have proved so hardv
that for several years in succession they
have not failed to produce abundantly.
. This is a highly important result, says
the Boston Herald, as may be preceived
from the fact .that our New England
: climate is so capricious that a new crop
of peaches is not obtained here, on the
. average, oftener than once in five years.
. These Chinese peaches are said to be of
good quality, and there is little doubt
that skilled horticulturists will, by hy
. bridiztng, he able to eecure strains of
hardy peaches first-class in every respect
it is, therefore, probable that just as the
introduction of the Sntsuniaorange from
Japan promises to push the orange belt
so far north as to include North Carolina
and, possibly, Tennessee and southern
Virginia, so this Chinese peach will
carry the peach belt far to the north
ward of its present limits, so as to in
clude the better part of New England
Fruit growing interests cannot fail to be
greatly benefited thereby, for extensive
peach orchards will be possible through
out that part of the country, with the
best of markets close at hand. Fine
native peaches will be particularly ap
preciated in Boston. This is one of not
a few valuable services which the Arnold
Arboretum has already rendered in a
practical way to the horticulturalgarden
overcome the sickening pounding of
choppy waves have been peculiar oppor
tunities for winning fame by flying over
the difficulty. The bridge plans of the
French engineers are believed to be at
least possible of completion, but numer
ous objections have already been ad
vanced. First of these is the moral cer
tainty that the bridges would be con
structed at immense cost of life. Dur
iug the construction of the Forth bridge,
where caissons had to be sunk to a depth
of only twenty-four meters, many work
men died and many more became de
crenit for life. Compressed air is not
good for steady inhalation. ' It begets
auiemia, paralrsis and congestion. The
depths whereto the caissons in the chan
nel would be suuk are far greater than
at Forth, and the treachery of the ill
famed channel waves would make bridge
building still more precarious. It would
be an immense convenience to travel
from Paris to London without a dose
mal de tner. Mercantile interests might
also gain from the shortening of the
time of freight between the two capitals,
nut it is questionable whether the ad'
vantages to be obtained would repay the
world tor its trouble.

Samples of a very beautiful onyx were
shown in Tacoma Monday from a deposit
recently discovered near the base of Mt.
St. Helens. The ledge was discovered
accidently by a horse knocking off a
piece where it protruded through a trail
that has been traveled from the time of
the earliest settlement of the valley. It
has been prospected far enough to show
that there is enough there to supply
all possible demands for some genera
tions, one ledge being nearlv 30 inches
thick and very prettily veined. Samples
have been sent to New York and Pbila
delphiaand the replies returned are to
the effect that it is worth from $4 to $20
per cubic foot, provided it can be got out
' in blocks 8x12 inches square. It can be
got out in blocks of almost any size
wanted, not only by square feet and
finches, but by square yards. The finders
' put off one blast in the ledge that
? loosened seventy-five tons of it, which is
: -now ready for shipment.
The Illinois Pentagraph last week
before the election which "snowed
Weaver under" in Georgia, commenting
upon the inevitable, said : "General
Weaver must be aware of. the fact that
when the people's party orators want to
speak anywhere in the North they are
given a respectful hearing, although- the
republicans of this section fullv realize
that the only effect of the populist ticket,
if it carries any Northern state, will be
to throw the next election of the next
president into the democratic house:
The difference in the treatment accorded
the populist candidate in the republican
North and the democratic South must be
apparent to AVeaver and must convince
hiin that he is playing into the hands of
his worst enemies in seeking to carry
any of the states of the Northwest. The
thing then for Weaver to do is to come
home and withdraw his name from the
race ana take the stumn for President
Harrison. It is only when the principle
of free debate and honest ballot is fully
established in the South that any other
party than the democratic will have a
ghost of a Bhow, and it is only by keep
ing the republican party in power that
tins principle can be eventually estab-

upon the centennial the Courier says
"Buffalo, too, may join the hoary-headed

300,000 population. Inland commerce
and manufacturing has made ' the city

Speaking of the columns liberally
sprinkled with odes to Tennyson, mostly
inferior and devoid of inspiration, the
Review says: "Poetry differs from
clothing. It is seldom worth much
when made to order". It has the hum of
the machine about it, and resembles
true poetry about as the dull piece of
shale resembles the glowing fire of the
opal."
Commenting upon the recent rich dis
coveries of minerals northwest of Mt.
Adams, a cotemporary says : "Mr. Gold
en s discovery is located eighty miles
from Goldendale, on the northwest side
of Mt. Adams and in the northeast cor
ner of Skamania county. It can be
resched in two days' travel. Of' that
distance sixtv miles can be made bv
wagon and twenty miles by pack tram
over a good trail. A saw mill is on the
way in, and a hotel is to be erected. Job
Angell, an expert, who has recently
examined the prospect, left for Portland
to order a quartz mill and smelter. One
hundred claims have been taken. Many
good prospects remain that have not
been covered by claims. No claim I
ever eaw in California in the fifties.'
said Mr. Golden, "presented the pros
pects of this find. My claim is 600x1500
feet, and I believe from appearances
there is valuable mineral all through it.
I have immense timber on either side,
and water power sufficient to run anv
machinery I may desire to put in."

West Shore. Postmaster Grant, of
Dallas, who is inspecting all the post-
offices In the countv, reports one office
where he found uncalled-for letters as
far back as 1869, which the postmaster
had never advertised, and not knowing
what to do with them, had an apple box
full under the table. He bundled them
up ana sent them to the dead letter
office.

Henry Watterson is responsible for
the remark that "Mr. Cleveland, in his
letter of acceptance, drives straight to
the root of the tariff question." If so
why did Mr. Watterson at the Chicago
convention ruthlessly set aside the free-for-all
plank of Major Jones and others
on the tariff and demand an out and out
free trade plank? And why does Mr.
Watterson insist that any democrat who
is not a free trader had better leave the
party and join the republican? Mr.
Cleveland's letter says that its author is
not a free trader, then how does he
"drive straight to the root of the tariff
question?" It appears to us that Mr,
Watterson is endeavoring to hedge.
A reported outbreak of cholera at Hel
metta, N. J., created much excitement
in that vicinity. Investigation showed
that the disease was not cholera but a
violent dysentery, which is almost as
severe and dangerous as cholera. Mr.
Walter Willard, a prominent merchant
of Jamesburg, two miles fromHelmctta,
says Chamberlain's- Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhu'a Remedy has given great satis
faction in the most severe cases of dys
entery. It is certainly one of the best
things ever made." For sale by Blake

An old farmer up in Polk county, who
has been voting the democratic ticket for
forty years, tells the Valley Transcript
that he thinks the time has come to turn
over a new political leaf. He finds that
the products of his farm bring him
more money now, on the average, than
ever before ; and at the same time the
money goes farther in purchases. This
is the kind of oppression that the farm
ers throughout the country are heartily
in favor of. . .
Owing to the wet spring Minnesota,
North and South Dakota raised this year
only 100,000,000 bushels of wheat, a
falling off of 60,000,000 from last year's
phenomenal yield.. In the winter wheat
states, except Nebraska, the yield has
been reduced by drouth. Nebraska will
yield 22,000,000 bushels.
