LETTER FROM The Bridal of the Bridge—A Great Dis- play — Thousands Present — Boutvi- caults Amadan—Tbhe Summer Ex- @aus—"Ir. Gebhard Again—Yir. Mc- to and 'y—Broker Hutchinson, Bpecial Correspondence of Tr Evextna Stan. New York, May 25, 1883. Old New Yorkers say that the city has not geen such @ day as yesterday before since war times. The excitement took everybody here by surprise. We knew it was a great day in Brook- ‘lyn. To them the opening of the bridge was a wonderful thing. It enhanced the value of the Property almost two-fold in some of the sec- tions of the city. Brooklyn looked forward and figured on it for twelve years. and when the great day had arrived she naturally felt excited over it. But New Yorkers looked upon the bridge more or less as a bugbear, and affected to conder Brooklyn's appreciation of its eizea good deal of a joke. Therefore, when the great preparations were made in Brooklyn New York did not excite itself. It ordered the 7th regiment to turn out, and passed resolutions by the board of aldermen re- questinix the day for the opening of the bridge to be changed. because it was the queen's birth- day. Bexond this New York did little only a. fore the great celebration. Chen it ly discovered that thousands and hun- dreds of thousands of countrymen were pouring into the city from every point. They came every hour, excursion trains from the interior of this and the neighboring states, and Boston, Phila- delphia, Baltimore, your own city and Pitts- burg, Buffalo and Albany all sent vast_ numbers to witness the opening celebration. To be sure, the governor and President would assist at the ceremonies, but the President is an old figure to New Yorkers, and the governor is not an especial celebrity. The day before the opening of the great bride New York woke up. People were wandering around the city, paying fabu- lous prices for sheiter. In tne hotels they were sleeping on cots, in barbers’ chalrs and in bath- tubs, and all the known boarding-houses were overflowing with transient guests. All sorts of wild rusties, thieves, pickpockets and black- guards formed a part of the visiting throng. On Thursday rw Yorkers got up and walked out into tie streets and were amazed. i avenues were thronged with pe Nobody knew where they came from hey were evidently w Yorkers. They w bent upon sight-seeing and throgged the line of march so that it was almost impossible for Pedestrians to move. Business houses started &s usual in the morning, but they all closed in the forenoon. Inthe afternoon nothing could be done. Clerks and salesmen went out to join the crowd. Around thecity hall the jam was per- fectly terrific. People were erashed in the throng and children were trampled upon. Hun- dreds and hundreds of thousands thronged the city hall park, the neighboring streets, the piers shipping and ferry boats. It took ttalions of policemen to clear the way tor the Preside: his party to the bridge. Around Fulton Ferry on Brooklyn and New York sides the throng was so great as to be almost impene- trable. A man who had important business in New York started from his house in Columbia Heights at half-past ten in the morning. He walked within three blocks of the ferry in six minutes and was four hours going the rest of the way. He arrived in New York at balf-past three o'clock. ‘The roofs of all the houses within a.mile of the bridze on both Brooklyn and New York side were viven over to the use of sight- seers. Rude benches were built upon them and the friends of the tenants and owners climbed aloft. In many instances the janitors charged from fifty cents to $2 for admis to strangers. ‘They sat on these benches ail the afternoon and ‘e at the great bride.

Then the two towers began to send forth showers of gold and silver fire-works of all sorts until the whole bridge was bathed dm colored light.

Balloons with fire-works attached floated above. and added their quota to the general illumination, Colored tire was burned along the bridze. The eeene was one of brillianey and splendor.

She certainly realized what a great thing the bridge was, and was determined that Brooklyn should fose her name and be known Bereafter as East New York. The Brooklynites @re yet to be heard from in this matter. Prob- ably they will insist upon calling New York West Brooklyn. The chances are that we won't, however. THE AMADAN. Boucicault produced a new play the other Right called the “Amadan.” It was the most grotesque faflure of modern times. The utmost Feckiessness of Boucicault in dealing with questions involving the laws of nature, gravita- tion, death and fate Is well known. He has ex- celled even himself in the “*Amadan.” His son, Dot Boucicault, who is nineteen years of age, appeared in the title role, the Zdiot, and acted | with a good deal of spirit and ability. He isa chip ot the old block, but has not h the inten- sity of his father. In the « the elder ult is shot five thnes, buried ogee, and thrown overboard, but he turns up In every fcene that succeeds his death as bright and ehipper as a new dollar. and utterly without a trace of his violent death. This sort of thing Goes on time and azain until it becomes monot- onous to the audience. In the course of the play he also slioots his son several times, but he result. oddily enc is not the death of the sen, but the itution ef the boy's sanity, and his consequent restoration to health. THE MAN IN TOWN. It is a question whether the man who fs left in town by his family suffers untold misery or Fevels in bliss. I think the chances are if he re- ‘mains in town It is blissful; If he attempts to combine town and country life, it is misery. At this season of the y lant mamma and | anxious daughters are preparing for the sum- | Of course, they all want. to go | - and after that to Saratoga and ch, but there are many thousands of cannot afford to frequent such lux- orts, and they must necessarily be Content with something less expensive. A few of them, with an eye for the companionship of “dear papa,” attempts to get so near the city | that the head of the family can go In and out | every day to business; the others boldly and | without simulation cast their progenitor out of thelr calculations, and go bravely to work to see where they can get the most for their money. ‘Thousands will rush to the seaside, wear charm beach costumes, bathe, dance and flirt; thousands more will go to the mountains, where they can climti with Alpine stocks and wear pic- turesque Sw! the plain country life, and revel in tennis dresses, evening strolls and long and confidential drives. Meany hile, his paternal nibs is grinding away | a horse in town—perhaps. The house is closed throughout; nobody but the cook and the governor remain. The front windows of the house are a dismal expanse of brown muslin, ‘nd the outer doors are continually closed. When the head of the family lets himself in with the night key in the evening dim echoes follow his footsteps toward his room; when he comes down in the morning he swears at the cook with unrestrained satisfaction, and goes dog- ity down town. This is what he does the st nicht or two, but after that what time does he get in? How often are his eyes red in the morning, and bis appetite for breakfast meager, ‘Unsatisfactory and suspicious? Why is his hat too small? Did bis family see bim dance around the billiard table in the wicked, crowded saloon, listening with unction and satisfaction to the ‘warblings of a serio-comic alnger in abbreviated skirts, in great freedom of action ; or attending ® prize-fizht at the Madison Square Garden? His family knows as little of him as he does of them. They get their money from him and they are satisfied. The fact is, nobody cares what | was going. s costumes; more still will adopt | Ped and with an income of eighty thousand dollars a year, persistently makes an ass of him- self and acts in such a manner that he forfeits all rizht to be received into any decent house in New York, it is time for people to look into his case. This last row of Gephard does not prove } that he is insane. It simply adds more to the fact that he ts thoroughly enthusiastic, whole heart~ edly and illimitably in love with . Langtry. And his love must be of the right sort. too, for certainly if she stoéd toward him in any common relation he would not willingly lose his reputa- tion and become the laughing-stock of the city for hersake. The facts of his row with young Sandford have been very much muddled by the daily press, but the story is simple enough. Sand- ford, who is a man of considerable wealth and a resident of Syracuse, had a slight acquaintance with Mr. Gebhard. When he rose from the table in Delmonico’s, with some friends, late Sunday ‘ht, and started ont, it Is quite nat- ural that Mr. Gebhard shouid ask him where he He said he was going to call upon some ladies, and Gebhard’s somewhat dispar- aging remark about the character of the ladies he proposed calling upon was quite natural. | Four young men flushed with wine do not usnaily start out from a popular restaurant after midnight on Sunday to call upon_respect- able ladies. Gebhard’s remark, therefore, was certainly not ill-timed or outrageous. Sandford turned at once and made an insulting retort about Mrs. Langtry. Thereupon Gebhard promptly calied him a liar, and received a couple of blows on the side of the head in return. Ever since that time the newspapers have been trying to get up a duel between the two men, but they have not had any success. Sandfor: says he is ready to fight, but Gebhard save if there fs any fighting to be done they know where he is to be found. Gebhard is much the lighter, smaller, and ts younger by ten years than Mr. Sandtord. ’ Gebhard, in promptly Jumping to Mrs. Langtry’s defense when Sandford uttered the insulting remark about her, cannot be blamed by any man. No matter what the char- acter of Mrs. Langtry is, Sandford certainly had no right to lug her name into discussion in a public place. The reason why Gebhard did not hit Sandford when he was struck was because | Gebhard is too cowardly. But he seems to | have enough of manliness to stand up for his lady love even if he does get the worst of it. | He has made the Lilly some very beautiful pres- ents, and is haying a brougham built for her now in Lendon. Mr. Herbert C. Pell, who re- ntly ran off and married Miss Kernochan, ast her father’s w 3, about the Gebhard-Sandford aff: “1 was in Delmonieo's when the thing occurred. The tact of the matter 1s, both of the men were ‘too fresh.’ The walter should have sprinkled salt on them the moment they entered the place. They area pair of duacs, and their quarrels are of no interest to the public.” That is just where Mr. Pell makes a mistake. Mr. Gebhard’s life Is of interest to the public. He illustrates a certain | phase of life which is rapidly pushing Itself into | notice in America. It is common enough in the old country, but it is in a certain sense new here. He Is squandering bis money on a beautiful ac- tress, running himself into the ground, and making himself the butt of ridicule. Mr. Bev- erley Tilden, another of the same ilk set, has re- cently been so much impressed by Mr. Gebhard’s exaniple that he, too, has almost reached pau- perism. High play, high living,. and fast life have reduced his fortune from something near @ million doliars to a beggarly three or four thousand, and all in the course of a few years. ‘There are several other younz men of the same class who are going to the dogs as rapidly as have Gebhard and Beverley Tilden. I could name half a dozen on my fingers’ ends, but it would only make them more notorious and do no good. But no one will deny for a moment that the freaks of these wild young millionaires are bad for society at large. A BUSTLE AMONG THE PETTICOATS. Salmi Morse produced a weird, wild and won- derful play, calied “A Bustle Among the Petti- coats,” at his “Temple” on Monday night. Iam the last man in the world who would willingly say anything against Mr. Morse or his play. He isastrugzling gentus and deserves encourage- ment; but any man who could speak truthfully ot “A Bustle Among the Petticoats,” and not call it the most stupendous failure on record, should be crowned at Moscow. I was pained at the prevalence of bald heads, but the pain.I experienced at seeing them was as nothing to the pain felt by the possessors of said bald heads when they discovered there was little or nothing of the ‘Black Crook” order about Salm!’s new play. ‘A Bustle Among the Petti- coats” is certainly a title calculated to draw the patronage of men, but there is nothing in the play to support that title. The majority of the audience had a suspicion that Salmi was really going to produce “The Passion Play,” over the name of “A Bustle Among the Petti- coats,” aud they watched the stage closely dur- ing the entire performance. They were not al- together satisfied that something of the ‘Pas- sion” would not be sprung upon them until the final drop of the curtain. Nobody had the most remote idea of what the play was about as it pro- g#ressed on the stage, and hence the applause, hisses, laughter and ridicule were desultory and unsatisfactory. Mr. Morse says ‘he has written five plays. A dramatist, who has himeelf writ- ten a number of pieces, hazarded the opinion last night that ‘A Bustle Among the Petticoats” was made up by Salmi selecting the worst act from each of his five most disreputable plays and combining them in one whole. The acting was cruel. The audience suffered more than the play did, however, and it was no uncommon sight, as the play progressed, to see wild-eyed and anxious men rise in their seats and rush excitedly to thedoor. Salmi is not a dramatist. MR. M’GLORY’S GLORY. Whatever Billy McGlory does he does with his whole heart. For a long time he worked like a Trojan getting young girls and susceptible young men into his dance house in Hester street and did more to lower the standard of morality in that part of the city than any other man. His place is a veritable den of iniquity. But Jerry McCauley, who isa reformed reprobate, called upon Billy and told him the proner thing for hito todo was to give up his dance house to theLord on Sunday. Billy suid, “Let me think. IfI do it, I will do it up brown.” He decided to do it. and the next Sunday JerryMcCauley went there to hold Bible services. He found thirteen wait- ers with white chokers, black coats and white gloves standing in a line, each holding a pack of hymn books and bibles; be also found chairs ranged pew like on the dancing floor, and a new church organ, speciaily introduced by Billy McGlory for the use of the choir. The meeting was gloriously successtul. McGlory, Pete Mc- Allister, O'G! and Pan Handle Jake all de- livered' fervent speeches, and Red Kate, of Kalamazoo, who has been converted, led the hymns, The following night all traces of the re- vival meeting had disappeared, and the resort in all its flaring and flaming iniquity was in full blast. The waiters were without their chokers, and ran bustling thro’ and fro’ in shirt sleeves with foaming beer mugs in their hands, and in place of the church organ was a brass band, and the girls who had been praying and singing the night before were going through the wildest and most abandoned dances. Next Sunday, however, Billy proposes to do it up “fine” again as before. BROKER HUTCHISON. Mr. Hutchison is going to get back Into the Stock exchange If it costs him bis life. It will certainly cost him a severe thrashing if he pushes his case much further. Here is a man who has been denounced by a body of his fellow- brokers (many of them personal triends of his.) His dealings were characterized Dy investigat- ing committees as obviously fradulent, and he has been publicly branded by the president ot the Stock exchange. Still, he mslsts on going back on the exchange, and Judge Donohue has granted an injunction restraining the Stock ex- change from interfering with Hutchison as a member. Hutchison was charged with receiv- ing legitimate commissions from John R. Duff, something like two hundred thousand dollars a year. This ought to satisfy any man; but it did not satisfy Hutchison. He stole so much that Duff became suspicious and ordered an in- vestigation. The tact that Hutchison is the trustee of an up-town church does not help him in this dilemma, A Bripat Nicut Experience almost sur- ing in tragic horror that of the bride of mermoor, which Scott sald was “an ower true tale,” is reported from Rio Grande del Sur, near the Uruguay frontier. A young tarmer’s marriage was pose on account of his being bitten by adog. The wound was cauterized, and all went well. Three months later doctors declared all dangers over.

THR ONE ADI ISTRATION. Washington: Robert Beall, = Nothing that Mrs. Burnett has written has been so diversely criticised as this, her latest effort, which has at last reached a conclusion and appeared in book form. Admirers of the style affected by Howells, James, Bishop, and their kind, who serve up studies of character and pictures of life and manners rather than tell astory, think it much the best work she has done. Those on the other hand who want something of plot and incident as well as milli- nery and conversation, rank it far below '‘That Lass o’ Lowrle’s.” and ‘‘Haworth’s”, and hold that on the whole it will add nothing or at least very little to her reputation. The latter class seem to be largely in the majority, and they have, too, as we cannot help thinking, the cor- rect estimate. But, however, this may be, the demand for the book has been most extraordi- nary, and it bids fair to be a great success in a financial point of view. Before a single copy appeared. the publishers found it necessary to put the fifth edition to press. An experience like this 1s not without precedent in the history. of book publishing, but it is extremely rare; and the author, as well as the publisher, is to be congratulated upon it.

The volume first named above closes the “Campaigns of the Civil War” series, and the second is a supplemental! volume to the set. Gen. Humphreys’ narrative opens with the Army of the Potomac between the Rapidan and Rap- pahannock, in the spring of 1864. The general plan of the campaign is then detailed, among the importent events described being the battles of the Wilderness, Drury’s Bluif, Cold Harbor, Reams’ Station, the Petersburg campaign, and, the final movement against Richmond, ending with Lee’s surrender and that of all other con- | federate armies. Capt. Phisterer’s work, which filly crowns the series, is not only a com- plete index, but a condensed history of the whole war as well. THE REAL LORD BYRON. New Views of the Poet’s Life. By Jouy Conny JEArFRESON. _Boaton: dames Osgood & Co. Washington: A, Brentano The author of those charming books about “The Clergy,” “Doctors” and “Lawyers” has given in this volame that which, all things con- sidered, may be regarded as the best life of Byron yet published. Avolding the absurd extrav- agances of Mrs. Stowe, the weaknesses of Moore, the meanness of Leigh Hunt, and the mistakes of Trelawney, he seems to have carefully exam- ined and justly weighed all the evidence, posi- tive and circumstantial, bearing on the brilliant poet's career, and to be able to give a correct analysis and judicial and unprejudiced estimate of his character. Whether the reader agrees with all the author's logic and conclusions or not, their honesty and the force of the reasoning by which they are reached must be conceded, and the value of his work as a cofftribution to current literature acknowledged. TEN GREAT RELIGIONS. Part II: A Comparison of All Religions. By JAwes FReeMaN CLARKE. ‘ton: Houshton, Mifflin & Co. Washington: Robert Beall, In 1871 the author published the first part of this work, which described and discussed the Principal religions faiths of mankind separately. He now undertakes to show what these rell- gions teach on the different points of human be- lief, the basis of the text being the twelve lec- tures delivered by him in the Lowell Institute, of Boston, winter before last. Dr. Clarke traces the first idea of God and the dawnings of reli- gious life as shown among primitive men. through all the chief religions of mankind, and the law of development which he reaches is that In religion, as in other things, “the pro- gress of the race will be from monotony, through variety, to an ultimate harmony.” FOR FAMILY WORSHIP.

Lothrop & Co. ‘Washington: a The many admirers of George MacDonald in this country will be glad to find in compact and durable form the baker’s dozen of his matchless essays which constitute the volume named above.

In fact, in glancing through these pa- pers It is not hard tounderstand the enthusiasm of Rey.

JOCOSERIA. _ By Rosenr Baownrn Houghton, Mi tano& Co: @. Boston : in & Co. Washington: A. Bren- This queer title covers a half a score of Mr. Browning's characteristic poems. Like Mr. Whistler’s pictures, they are very much the sort of thing that people who like that sort of thing would be ant to like. We hold it no shame to confess that’ we do not belong to the number. That complex and fascinating theme Life In Washington seems to be a popular one with writers of fiction of the present day. First we had “Democracy,” showing a phase of it which, in a measure, doubtless exists in reality, but much more largely in the imagination ot penny-a-liners who know and enjoy only the seamy side of life. Next came Mrs. Burnett’s view of it, as set forth in her last novel; and now it is understood we are to have two more treat- ments of the same subject,—one by our towns- woman, Mrs. Dahlgren, and another by Miss Noble, the author of ‘The Reverend Idol,” a story Which made a good deal of stir In east- ern literary circles some time ago. Miss Noble has, we believe, spent only a short time in Washington, and her pictures will, therefore, probably be in the nature of dissolving views, rather than a panoramic presentation; but from Mrs. Dalilgren something sustained and ex- haustive may be expected. She has had excep- tional facilities fur studying her subject, and it 1g understood that she will take full advantage of her opportunities in presenting it. The inci- dents of the story are supposed to occur shortly after the close of the rebellion, but many of the characters are pen portraits of persons well known in the ante-bellum days, and often are either thinly veiled or, in the case of certain dis- tinguished persons since deceased, are men- tioned by name. Naturally a good deal will be expected from Mrs. Dahlgren in this fleld, and her book will be anxiously looked for, not only in Washington, where its principal scenes are laid. but in all parts of the country, where the personages assembled and events transpiring at the national capital are every year attracting more and more attention. Messrs. Gray & Page, the well-known archi- tecta, have recently issued a couple of handsome brochures entitled ‘‘Homes at the Capital,” each containing about a dozen hellotype illustrations of exteriors and interiors of some of the more important and characteristic buildings erected by them during the past few years. The man- ner in which these pamphlets are gotten up re- flects credit alike upon the professional taste and business enterprise of the firm, for while they are primarily intended to show the quality of work it is capabie of producing, they are yet attractive enough in themselves to be preserved for their own sake. It is not often, even in these days of artistic advertising, that both ends are 80 happily served. Amohg the books lately published by G. P. Putnam’s Sons is a volume of poems by Mr. John Albee, the well known lecturer on English Literature at the Concord SummerSchool of Phi- losophy, and writer of critical reviews. Many of these poems were written at New Castle, N. H., where the author has a charming summer home, @ quaint old house, built two hundred years ago, by the first colonial govertior of the state. Those of places have in them the color marl stro le fine expression. e ied . Messrs. Charles Scribner's Sons announce a8 shortly to appear under the title of “Tiger Lily and other Stories,” a collection of short stories by Mrs. Julla Schayer, of this eity. Most of ! orchard them were first published'Im Scribner's Monthly, where they attracted considerable attention by their originality and cleverness, The readers of THe Star had a taste of their quality at the time, and we doubt not there will be a marked demand in Yasnington pated solame faner pears, not only a8 T beeee talent, but on account of its Own wiextta That popular monthly, “The Modern Age,” 1s now published in New York, having been re- moved to that city from Buffalo, where it was startéd.

From the author we have a copy of “Resting Now at Home,” a song in memory of John Howard Payne, written and composed by Mr. L. Ortenstein, of this city. It is appropriately ded- icated to Mr. W. W.

THE FARM AND GARDEN Work for June. ‘From the American Agriculturalist. Corn.—Weeds grow rapidly in the cornfield and should be kept down by frequent working. Do as much of this labor as possible with the horse-hoe or cultivator. Potatoes.—The Colorado beetle ts the leading enenfy to the potato. It can be successfully fought with Paris green or London purple, it the poison is used so soonas the young “worms” make their appearance. The ground must be well stirred and kept free from weeds, and the crop dug early to avoid the wet rot. Roots are a leading crop in English farming, and ought to be more extensively grown with us. Ali roots: mangels, turnips, carrots, etc., do best on a deep, rich, loose aol. They require the soil plowed to the depth of ten inches, and if the subsoil plow loosens up the bottom of each furrow for several inches, it is all the bet- ter. Nothing {s superior to well-rotted barn- yard manure spread evenly over the surrace be- fore plowing. In the absence of this, 300 to 500 pounds of guano or superphosphate may be spread on the plowed ground, and thoroughly harrowed in. Before sowing, smooth the sur- face with the back of the harrow, or otherwise. In light soil the rows may be two feet apart, with the plants thinned to ten inches in the rows. In strong, rich soil, these distances should be somewhat increased. This is known asthe “flat system.” The system of “ridging” requires more labor, but economizes manures. After the soil is thoroughly plowed and pulverized, furrows are struck out with small plow about 224 feet apart and six Inches deep. Well-rotted manure is stamped down evenly in the furrows and covered by a plow run along each side. The tops of the ridges are broadened by a roller, thus allowing the seed sowerto work easily. It is clulmed that the gradual removal of the soil from the plants by cultivation in the ridge system is neficial. The swedish ‘or ruta-baga turnips may be sown from the middle of May to the middle of July. The strap-leaved sorts can be sown from July first to the middle of September. Carrots may be grown with profit for farm stock, especially horses, Buclwheat.—Rouyk places, old sod land, poor stubble, ete., may produce a fair crop of buck- wheat with good effect on the soi. If plowed under when nearly grown, it makes a good green manure that will fit the land for some more valuable crop. Hay.—The best quality of hay is obtained by cutting the grass while In bloom. For this, mowing machines are indispensable. The ecythe may do for the fence-corners, but not for general use. In choosing a mower, look to lghtness of draft, strength, and simplicity of construc- tion. As between equally good machines, it is best to buy the one made nearest home, for con- venience in making repairs. It is safe to have the cutting bar -ahead, and to one side of the driver. Th tedder is a valuable ad- Junct of the hay field, greatly facilitating the drying of the grass. The best hay is made by curing in the cock. Sweating improves the quality of hay, and prevents its heating in the mow. Cut grass that has had the sun for one day may be put up in large » Where it will keep well for a week if nec@M@Miy, it protected from rain and dew by caps. These caps are easily made from common sheeting, and fre- quently pay for themselves the first geason. ‘The horse-fork is a great labor-saving imple- ment, and should be more. generally used. Haying is soon over, and everything should be employed that aids in the hurry of this work. Fe Crops.—Hungarian grass may foliow the rye, and be off in time for fall seeding: A plot highly manured and sowed to corn will give In a few weeks a large supply of fine green fodder for the milch cows.

Horses.—A good bed of fresh straw is a great inducement for a tired horse to lie down. Clean grooming, with an occasional washing, will also give restfulness and Improve the appetite and general health. _Over-feeding isnot the cure for loss of flesh by hard work and lack of rest. Wash all galling parts of the harness, and keep them soft with castor oil. A little powdered aloes, rubbed in with the oil, will keep vermin from attacking the harness. The amount of work to be obtained from a team depends largely upon the driver. Some will worry and sweat a team when drawing only an empty wagon, while others can drive the same team with a ‘heavy load, and not wet a hair. Kindness goes far towards making a load draw easily, while an inhuman jerking upon the bits, or an injudicious use of the whip, may be the Ieading causes of poorness in fiesh of horses. Provide protection from flies. Caille.—Good butter can be made at any time of the year, but “June butter” is the standard. Fastures should now be at their best, and the cows with a large flow of richmilk. The quality of butter depends upon many things. The food should be wholesome, and the water abundant and pure. The milking needsto be neatly done, also every process through which the milk-fat passes until it Is marketed, as neatly packed xilt-edge butter. Use only the best salt, and as little as necessary to keep the butter sweet. Sheep.—Ewes with lambs will thrive better If given extra feed. The lambs should be fed by themselves, In an enclosure known as a “lamb- creep.” The fence has an opening only large enough for the passage of thelambs. Both sheep and lambs should have free access to a plenty of pure water. : Pigs.—Swine do best when they have a pas ture. A small orchard, seeded to clover, with an open shed for shelter during storms, is espe- cially suited tothe summer keeping of young pigs. With plenty of grass, pure water, and a liberal feed at the trough, pigs should make a rapid and healthful growth, and produce cheap, wholesome pork. The orchard is benefited by the destruction of injurious insects eaten by the pigs in the fruit. Poultry.—Hawks, rats, and otlier vermin will destroy many chickens unless guarded against. Provide safe coops that can be closed at night, and do not open them until the dew Is off the grass. Guinea towls are useful pene alarm upon the approach of danger. Young chicks may run in the garden, where théy Will destroy many insects. WORK IN THE HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENTS. At the time of writing these notes the spring is very backward, but those who observe the seasons Closely have found that, taking one year with another, the first of June finds vegetation in about the same condition. If early develo) ment has been retarded, a later and more rapid growth has made up for thig, and by the first of this month no signs of the early backwardness are visible. As a general thing, when we have a late spring, the season oft'growth Is prolonged |.at the other end, and we haye a mast fave autumn. These notes have reference, to the particular month tor which they ten, but also to weeks that immediately precede and to those which will follow this month in which they appear. THE ORCHARD AND NURSERY. First, last and al the time, the orchardist must keep up his fight with insects. Success in fruit-growing so largely depends upon the de- struction of insects that we ‘feel it adaty to een this subject prominently before our read- The Codling Moth or Apple Worm.—Heretofore it has been supposed tnd doeree the fallen fruit, and tr@pping, by means of cloths atound the tranks, the worms whieh left the Te maining upon tree, were the o1 iy Belpe. ‘The moth, soon after the fruit sets, lays her egg epple.

Isit not Dangerous? it will be asked. We do not regard the process as at allrisky, Assum- ing that all the polson that fell upon the young fruit could remain until that was ripe, there would be but fittle danger; but as the rains of months will fal! upon the fruit there is no dan- ger to be feared. Fruit-growers look upon this method of treating the apple worm as a discov- ery of great value. Thinning \s the most important work of the present month. While it is abroad regarded as @ part of the regular orchard work, it has been but little practiced here. “Those who have doubts as tp its value, should thin the fruit upon a single row of trees, and keep an account ot the market returns. If two-thirds of the fruit upon apple, pear, or peach trees be removed soon after it is set, there will then, in ordinary seasons, be too much left to mature. Grafis.—A graft should be regarded as'a tree planted in another tree, instead of in the soll, and its growth needs to be regulated by proper pinching. Often the growth from a bud will be very vigorous. If the top of this be pinched, it will become stocRy, and throw out side branches. Pruning.—Many prefer to prune at this sea- @on, as wounds heal readily. In pruning do not oe away abranch without a definite object in view. Young Trees planted this spring should be watched and their form regulated by pinching the shoots that push too vigorously and by breaking of the shoots which start where branches are not needed. A little care given to trees while young will make later proning un- necessary. Stugs,as the green, slimy caterpillars are called, which appear upon the leaves of pear and cherry trecs, are best treated by a dusting of dry-slaked lime. This may be applied by shaking it from a bag ot open fabric, fastened to the end of a pole. FRUIT GARDEN. The notes last month for this department were very full, and many suggestions there given are equally applicable now, especial! fulching.—Any loose litter mulch. In grain-growing localities, straw 1s al- ways to be had. Whatever will cover the ground as, prevent evaporation, may beused. Look out for The Currant worm, and use white hellebore,as directed last month. Grape Vines are trained in so many different forms, that we can only give general directions. Shoots will push from the buds formed last year. TI growing ends of these should be pinched, leaving two or three leaves beyond the upper- most vunch of grapes. Young vines should not bear more than one bunch to the shoot. Remove all others. The rose-bug often does much injury to theyoung grapes. Shaking it off and catch- Ing It in early morning, while torpid, is the only remedy. KITCHEN AND MARKET GARDEN. The most important crop the present month Is weeds. The warmth of the soil starts into gtowth those which have been dormant, and myriads of seedlings appear. A sharp rake, drawn over the surface. is a most efficient im- plement for the destruction of seedling weeds. Belated Crops—It sweet-corn or Lima beans, etc., were planted too early and cut off by alate frost, do not be discouraged, but try again. Asparagus.—8o long as cutting continues, cut every shoot, large and small. The old rule, to stop cutting when green peas are ready, is a good one. Recollect that next year's crop will depend upon this year's growth of tops. An application of nitrate of soda, 300 pounas to the acre, when the cutting is over, will be of great service. Beans.—The main crop of the bush sorts may be planted. Lima beans often sprawl upon the ground, and need aid to make them take to the pole. If the stems are tied against the pole giving them a few turns with a strip of cloth or other soit material, they will care for them- selves. Beets.—It is a good plan to sow an abundance of beet seed, n order to have the thinnings to use as greens. The crop of turnip or Egyptian, for winter use, should be sown the middle of this month. larger Kinds. Cabbage and Cautiflower.—The early planted should be forwarded by frequent hoeings. Sow secds in the open ground of the winter sorts, not forgetting the Savoys. Carrots sown early the present month will make a crop. Sow a plenty of seed, as the young plants are feeble and break ground with difficulty. Thin those already up. Celery.—Set out in well-manured soil, in rows three fect apart, with the plants every six inches in the rows. In the climate of New York city, the setting begins about the middle of this month, and extends well into next month. After planting, look out for weeds. Corn.—Plant for a succession and keep the crop clear of weeds. Cucumbers.—The crop for pickles 1s sown from the middle of this month until the middle of next. Make manured furrows. five feet apart, and sow seed, dropping It an inch or two apart over the manure. When the plants ure up, and out of the way of insects, thin so as to leave them about a foot apart in the rows. 9 Plants.—Plant in very rich coll, and then look out for the Colorado potato bug. If there are any near they will find the egg planta. Kohl Ravi.—Thin the plants to 10 inohes apart, and encourage rapid growth by hoeing. se while young and tender. Martynias.—Sow in rich lght soil, and thin finally to one plant every three feet in the rows. Onions.—Keep clear of weeds. A dressing of wood ashes will help the crop. Peas.—Picking should be carefully done, else the vines will be injured. Late sown peas usu- ally fail, but It is worth while to risk a few, as in a favorable season they will give fair returns. Potatoes.—Keep well hoea, and apply poison. Rhubarb.—Cut off the flower stalks as fast as they appear. Squashes.—Success with these Oepenas upon fighting insects. Examine the under sides of the leaves for the eggs of the squash bug, and crush them. Allow the vines to take root. Sweet Potatoes.—In northern localities, the plants should be set this month. We preter them for winter to the every week, Tomatoes.—If not already done, set out the plants. In garden culture a trellis of some kind shouldbe provided. This should be put in place soon after the plants are set out, and the vines tied up before they get so large as to fall over. Watermelons.—If the first planting failed put in more seeds. Look out for insects. Odds and Ends.—A grindstone is a useful ad- Junct to the ‘pone properly used upon the hoes. The difference between the work done with asharp hoe anda dull one is most aston- \shing. The frequent use of a sharp rake among cabbages and wherever the surface of the soil permits will do Wonders in killing weeds. Thin freely all root crops. Parnips, beets, carrots, ete., when given room, will be larger and more tender. As.soon as a crop is off occupy the jand‘with something, it only peas to be spaded under to enrich the soil. FLOWER GARDEN AND LAWN. Phe Lawn should be mowed at least once a week, if the growth of the grass warrants it.

If she gra runs into the beds, use a strong knife cut off all intru- ding roots. Bedding Plants.—Set out the tender kinds, such as coleus, etc., and. if a late frost is feared, cover the bed with newspapers, using stakes to prevent them from resting upon the plants. Spring Bulbs.—As fast as the leaves die down lift the bulbs and store in a dry place until needed for autumn planting. Stakes and Ties.—Much of the neat appear- ‘ance of the flower garden depends upon stakes and ties. The tall kinds of dahlia must have them, and gtadioluses and tuberoges are apt to are Bes flower-spikes beaten down unless ” GREENHOUSE AND WINDOW PLANTS, Year by year, those who have greenhouses are learning that the old way of stripping them at the approach of warm weather is not the best sat oboe, thal way bs et oataaabete meat out a feagenahe il nites oe previa oonatire ants that will keep the How It Affected A Criminal’s Career. From the Detroit Free Press, “Is the criminal reporter in?* “Yes. What do you want?” “You have forgotten me, I suppose?” “No, sir, Ihaven't. You are Bill Myles, who helped crack the safe in Day & Duke's grocery, on Woodward avenue, in 1867, and you got five years for it. What do you want?” “I want to talk with you. I've comea deal over 1,000 miles to see you and one other person. Do you remember the time when I was convicted over in the recorder’s court in the old City Hall?” “Yea.” “Do P hay mile what you wrote about me in ee Press the next morning?” “No.” “You wrote: ‘Myles doesn’t look like a crim!- nal, but his identification was complete. _ It is first offense, and he will regret it for five years at least.’ Iread that in the Free Press the next morning as I was being taken to Jack- son, and those words, ‘Myles doesn't 100k like a criminal,’ made a deep impression upon me, robably for the reason that I had not heard a Kina word for long time before. I cut the words out and pasted them in my cell. I =e come here to-day to thank you for writing em.” “Why?? “Because they helped meto become an honest man.” = “As an honesteman, what are you doing to earn a livelihood?” Inguired the reporter. “When I came to Detroit in 1866my mother had Just died, and my father had been dead Many years. It doesn’t matter what part of the east I came from. After mother died I sold everything we owned and came west, locating here in Detroit. I got work in a store, and was getting along nicely, when I madethe acquaint- ance of Charley Jones. In those days he was the gayest boy in the business, Inside of six months he had taught me all the ropes in town. I lost my situation in the store, ran through my money, and when he proposed to crack that safe I was ready for it. You know all about that. ‘Regret iti? You never wrote anything truer than that in your life! My God! how I did 8 uffer in that prison! Long before my time was out, and I only served three years and ten months, I made up my mind to ‘square the box,’ and I was never happier in my life than when I left that prison. That was in the spring of 1871. I went to Chicago, and from there to St. Louts. I got work in a wholesale grocery store, changed my name—I shan't tell you what it 1s now, for I'll not give you a chance to give me away—and I worked hard. The boss took a fancy to me, and five years ago he sent me up into Nevada to look after a cattle ranch he and his brother own up there. That suited me, and I became a herder, and now I am superintend- ent of the ranch, and get $300a month. I came down to St. Louis on business a month 5 and thought I'd take arun up here and see De- troit once more. I'm going back to-night. Good-by, old fellow. You did me a good turn, and I'll never forget it.” LLJS1 OF LETTERS REMAINING IN THE WASHINGTON CITY POST OFFICE, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1883. 2 To obtain any of these Letters the applicant must call for ‘‘ ADVERTISED LeTTERs,” and give the date of this list. €2 If not called for within one month they will be sent to the Dead Letter Office.
