Root Pruning and Pruittulness. Fruit trees are sometimes met with, 'which grow lururiantly but fail to pro-y duce fruit. In case of young trees this is a dclirable condition in which to have them. as it is more important to secure a‘ good growth than it is to have only fruit- fulness. But there comesn time when suilicient growth having been attained, it is desirable to secure fruitfulness. In India and China, fruit trees are made to bear by cutting their roots. or exposing them periodically to dryness, so as to check growth. It is found that great vigor of growth is unfavorable to fruitful- ness. Lindley says: “ Whatever pro- duces excessive vigor in plants is: faVor- able to the formation of le1f buds : while on the other hand such circumst;. e- a as tend to diminish luxuriance and ' . check rapid vegetation Without efl'm! L; the health of the individual; are nlhl" favor- able to the production of Ho: er buds than of leaf buds." Downii 4 rays that when a. tree is root pruned “ llS energies are no longer entirely carried oil' in growth, and the returning sap is em- ployed in producing fruit buds for the next year.” He then refers to the suc- cvaa of Mr. Rivers of Sawbridgcworth. England, in throwing his trees into early hearing by root pruning. In root prun- ing pear trees it is aometimes the practice to dig a circular channel about the tree a few feet from the trunk, deep enough to never most of the roots at the distance from the tree. The trench is then tilled with uoil enriched with manure. The growth is checked, the growth of new fibrous rootais stimulated and fruitful- nem is promoted. If it becomes desir- able to again prune the roots, the trench is dug outside the former one and treated the same. It may be beneficial to other fruit trees which prove unfruitful to treat them in a similar manner to induce fruit- fullness. llousukcepcm who have the time can Work upquuntitics of the early apples into jelly, or they may be cooked and sealed in glass cans, but the moat practi- cal method of prescnin" lnrrvo quantities is undoubtedly by the evafiorating pro- cesses becoming so rapidly popular.

Where the blossoms were not killed by frosts there will be 1'. large crop of apples again this year. The season of late has been quite favorable to the apple crop, the frequent. showers, and cool weather helping to keep the fruit from falling pre- maturely, and giving it a. good growth. The early varieties will be ever abundant in market, as i3; usual in bearing seasons, and the prices of ordinary fruit will con- umlnently he lnw. The mistake has been maule- of setting tun large a. proportion of trees of the early varieties, as Porter, Gravenstein, Early Yul‘k, and others that ripen during the warm weather, and which will only take a abort time at best.

The Umbvawlmun says : “ There is no dsnger whatever that apples. peaches, pears, or any other useful fruit will be produced in excess of the demand. The truth is that demand keeps pace with production. People will use a great deal more fruit when it is plentiful, and when they acquire the habit of using they retain it.

The cattle and sheep raising interests in New Mexico are growing to large pro« put-Lions, and capital is rapidly being in- vested in the business, which yields handsome returns. In is claimed that New Mexico is the best stock-raising country in the West. The grasses are rich. nutritious and plentiful, wliilein many localities water is abundant, and Wham it. is not, it has been demonstrated that zinc-sum wells will supply the de- iicivncy at small exucnsc. A new horseshoe has lately been ex- perimented with at Lyons, France. It is made entirely of sheep’s horn, and is found particularly adapted to horses em- ployed in towns and known not to have a steady foot on the pavement. The re- sults of the experiments have proved very satisfactory, as horses thus shod have been driven at a'rapid pace on the pavement without slipping. Besides this advantage, the new shoe is very durable, and, tinniglx a little more expensive than the old one, seems destined sooner or later to replace the iron shoe, particular- ly for horses employed in large cities where, besides the pavement, the streets are intersected by tramway rails, which from their slipperiness constitute a source of permanent danger. A correspondent of the Country Gentle- man is inclined to find the cause of abortion in cows in the use of Syracuse salt, and thinks them is some mincial 1n it that causes the trouble; he says, “The lirst I ever heard of abortion as an epi- demic was in the vicinity of Syracuse, and as the salt made there came East, abortion followed.” Singularly enough, a Littlcton, Mass. farmer, who keeps a large herd of cattle. some time a. go ex- pressed the opinion in conversation that abortion in cattle was prettty sure to follow the use of Turk‘s Island salt, and that when he used American salt for his cows, he avoided the dilliculty. 'l‘hese two observers agree in ascribing the trouble to the salt, but cuchlinds safety in the p.11t1cuh1r kind of salt con- demned by the other. For the past live or six years John Moran, a master stone-cutter residing on Magazine street, has suffered terribly from what doctors in St. Louis and other cities have regarded as a complicated in- testinal disorder. Helms twice been in hospitals in St. Louis, and has spent the greater part of his earnings with a view to secure some permanent relief. Last Thursday Horan was at work in the stoneyard when he was suddenly taken ill. Fearing that he was going to vomit blood. he closed his 0) es and leaned for support on the stone on which he was working. He then experi- enced a terrible pain in his throat, Next he vomited. 0n recovering and looking round he found that he had not parted with a portion of his lungs, us the pain and summation he experienced led him to fear he had done. but with a species of reptile of surprising dimensions. Homn immediately called his fellow- workmen, and to their astonishment pointed out the wriggling reptile he had just ejected from his system. It was stretched out on the stone clippings by one of the masons, who, on applying his rule to it, found that it was fully eight inches long. From the head to within two inches of its other extremity the reptile one about one and a half inches thick. It is now in the possession of Dr. Y. H. lioyd, of [Jason avenue. Mr. Uoran’s sufferings for five years past have been terrible. He could not work for more than a half hour Without being com- pelled to rest. Often he had to remain away from work two or three days a week. He had no appetite, and when he did take food was rarely able to retain more than a small portion of it. Seldom did he obtain an unbroken night’s rest. lie frequently declared that he could feel something turning round in his stomach. The doctors told him that his intestines Were growing together.

Consul Muon nyI: “In View of the important nature of this sudden outbreak of cholera. its disastrous efi'ecta upon international com- merce and communication, the Mute as Wumxcros.»$eue Fuel bu received from Comm] to in 'mture and origin, and the ex- measures which lune been adop tedtoreustitaprogresa, itbubeen thought requisite that the consulate ghould prgsent { {note detailed and gpegi- tic record of this interating episode. With r ard to the origin and nature of the cho cm at Toulon and Marseilles. there has been a hot and acrimonious dispute since the firstcase appeared at‘ Toulon on the 22d of June. Although this dispute is not yet officially settled, the actual facts are sufficiently plain. On the one hand, the Mayor of Toulon, who would be naturally held responsible for the neglected sanitary condition of that city, has insisted from the‘first that the disease which appeared there two weeks ago is genuine contagious ‘ Asiatic cholera, imported by a suplemeu- ‘tal Government transport, which has i been employed in the expedition to Ten- quin, and, having had cholera on board at Saigon, returned to Toulon, and was admitted to port by the naval authorities and placed in dock for repairs. “ bu the other handithe chief medi- cal officer of the French Government, supported generally by the oflicial jour- nals and the medical authorities of the mils; and the medical 'authorities of the navy, has pronounced the disease merely SPORADIC CHOLERA, due to the filthy condition of Toulon and the neglect of ordinary sanitary measures there. This opinion was sustained generally during the first week of the epidemic by the commercial press of southern France, which naturally sought to allay excitement and avert the disas- trous commercial results of a cholera pnnie ‘ “Between these two extremes there has been brought forwarl, after some delay, the verdict of the Board of Physi- cians sent by the French Govermnent to Toulon, upon the first announcement of the outbreak, to diagnose the malady and dictate measures of resistance to its progress. These gentlemen were at first disposed to pronounce the disease spor- adic, the element of contagion being for a time notably wanting; but on the 9'2"!) :1. young oflicer of marines, return- ing to Toulon after leave of absence, was attacked within a day of his resumption of duty, and died after a few hours of terrible agony, his case presenting all the marked and awful features of true Asiatic cholera. On the same day a student from the Lycee of Toulon, who had re- turned several days before to his home in Marseilles was seized with Asiatic cholera. at the latter city, and died after an illness of eight hours which defied all remedies. On the following (28th) a Custom House official employed at the Quai du Canal in Marseilles was brought home at 2 o’clock in a critical state, and died at 6 o’clock the same evening, a clear and indisputable case of Asiatic cholera. Meanwhile there were under treatment at Toulon about eighty cases of cholera, of which all but six or eight were pronounced mild, and the deaths there from choleraic causes had at no time since the first outbreak exceeded nine per day. “With these facts in view, the Gov- ernment physicians returned to Paris. and on the 30th of June presented their verdict, which probably stated accurately the then real truth, namely: That the real contagious Asiatic malady existed at Toulon and Marseilles, but that a large proportion of the cases were of a mild type, and presented only the recognized features of sporadic cholera. The real danger was present. It had appeared in the first month of summer, six days later than the first outbreak of the terrible visitation of 1865, and it became a ques- tion how far vigorous and intelligent sanitary measures could prevail against an epidemic which had become so early and so thoroughly established. This contest of UI'BIAN INTELLIGENCE AGAINST CONTACIOL‘S DEATH is still in progress, and it is the purpose of this report to note briefly some of its morgixnpqrtant features. _ “ Both Marseilles and Toulon suffered terrihly in the cholera epidemic of 1865. During the nineteen years which have elapsed since then Marseilles has been, in several important respects, almost rebuilt. Her pavements, her sewerage system, her water supply, and method of cleaning streets. removing night soil, in- specting and regulating the markets of feed, her quarantine regulations, and hospital facilities are all probably unsur- passed in excellence by those of any European or American city. The old quar- ters of the city, the ancient Marseilles, les, which was seourged soisharply by the plague in former centuries, has been pierced with broad avenues, streams of pure water flowing down the gutters of the narrow streets and alleys, and the pavements of the principal throughfares are washed and swept Witha care and frequency which leave nothing to be desired. The terrible lesson of former epidemics has been well learned by the municipal Government, and, long before the first rumor of trouble at Toulon, Marseilles was cleaned and made ready fur the summer heats. But with all the intelligent liberality which the city has evinced in the construction of her drain- age system, there is an insurmountable ditliculty. which all Mediterranean cities are alike compelled to faceâ€"their sewers flow into n tideless and generally placid EVIL DKXSB SWARMS OF MOSQL‘ITOFJB, chick settled upon the lower part of the city, sud were driven 0!! by fuel of pitch tad main, which were lighted dong the amen during the night.

Since the outbreak at Toulon, the whole city of Marseilles has been literally wash- ed with water and disinfectants, not. once merely but dnily and nightly. The markets are carefully inspected, and im- mense quantities of stale and unripe fruit and vegetables seized And destroyed. Railway ears. stations. omnibuses, street can. even hackney carriages are fumignt- ed and disinfected, and the smell of chlorine, sulphates. nnd catholic acid is everewhem. “ Simultaneously with the two virulent use: of Ashlie cholera nt Mumme- nlready noted. there n period of intense. lulu-y heat, whic , till: the ex- ception of the 30th when n cooling mis- tnl blew over the sweltering city. yet continues undated. 0n the evening of the ‘Jflth of Junethil Itifling heat was mompnnied by FIGH’ITSG THE PESTILKSCE.

For several days after these and the daily number of new cam so stationary that it was hoped and believed that the rigorous sanitary measum which had been taken would restrict the outbreak in this city to a limited area, and in a short time suppress it altogether. ‘ But the intense, sultry heat which began on the 28th of June continued throughout the following week, swarm: of fugitives from Toulon continued to pour daily into the city, without restriction or disinfec- tion, and on Saturday and Sunday, the 5th and 0th of July, both Marseilles and Toulon found that the epidemic had escaped control, and realized that the worst which had been feared had come. The record of choleraic deaths on those ‘ two days, the last whose statistiw are ‘ included in this report, were thirteen and ‘sixteen respectively at Toulon, and eleven and fifteen at Marseilles. Several of the latter occurred in the cleanest and handsomest portions of Marseilles. So that the factis only too apparent that the Asiatic cholera, brought hither from Toulon, has been distributed and has taken root throughout this city. _ Lancu Luuu uuuu~-uuuu unu vAvJ- D “it appears that the attack of the cholera has been this year far more vigor- ous and fatal than in was in the great epidemic of nineteen years ago, and all present. indications point to a. summer of gloom and sufl‘ering for the people of Toulon and Marseilles. All that energy and iibernlity could perform, all that sanitary science could suggest, has been done, but the pestilence is here and defies restraint. “ In compliance with instruction from the Department, this consulate has ascer- tained from oflicial sources that no emi- grants have recently left either Toulon or Marseilles by sea for the United States. It should be added, however, that few emigrants for American ports ever em- bark here, as the steamers leaving Mar- seilles usually touch at one or more Mediterranean stations before leaving their final point of departure, and emi- grants usually go by rail to the ultimate port of departure to embark for the United States. It is, therefore, respect- fully suggested that all vessels bringing emigrants or baggage to the United States from Bordeaux. llavre, La Roch- elle, or any other Frehch pert not yet declared infected should be subjected upon their arrivalto the most careful sanitary regulations.” Cutting 011’ a Woman’s Nose. The horible crime of mutilating women by cutting off their noses is so common in Bombay as to call for the most stringent repression, and nothing, we imagine, will repress in but the free use of the lash. hi the Sessions ending yesterday, Mr. Justice Scott had to hear threeâ€"we might say liveâ€"of these eases, one after the other.

Surely these are caaasin which the lash would be at once the most fitting punishment and the beat deterrent. Estimated by the misery inflicted, even the most severe penalties would seem too trivial, and if the law does not permit of flogging in the cases of such cruel mutil- ation, the law should be altered. The women who are mutilated in this way are, of course, rendered hideous ever after- wards, and, because they are women, it is simply impossible to calculate the mis- ery and degradation that they will exper- ience during the rest of their lives. No amount of imprisonment will eradicate a crime that is still evidently a customary form of marital punishment among the lower classes. But wholesome terror of the cat-o’-nine-tails is common to the de- graded classes all the world ovenâ€"Times of I ndia. Desperate Encounter with a Madman. Great alarm was caused among the in- habitants of Berkley street, Lsmbeth Walk, yesterday morning. by loud cries for help. It appears that a man named Edward Parrott, with his wife and three children, had lived for some time at No. 11‘» in the street. Parrott was a. coach- smith, but for the past seven months he had been out of employment, and he had in consequence become greatly depressed, and had acted very strangely. Yesterday morning, shortly after 10 o’clock, his wife left the house to go to St. Thomas’ hospital to try to get an order for his od- mission into that institution. leaving her husband in bed, and having requested Mrs. McCuusland, a widow, residing in the same house. to look after him. Mrs. Couslnnd, who is nearly 50 years of age, went upstairs to bring down some needle- work on which she was engaged.

It was a queer-looking group that sat i on the rude porch of the Eagle, the only hotel at Gulchville, one warm afternoon in Jul , 1664, listleasly gazing dewâ€"ii the A long. usty road over which the stage ‘ would shortly make its appearance. and ‘ whose arrival and departure formed the ‘ single daily episode that relieved the monotony of the sleepy settlement. The judge, who had once held the important ‘ position of justice of the peace, sat with ‘ his chair tilted back against the side of § the house, gazing oontemplatively on his . number eleven boots, wnich were planted } ‘ on the plank nil at a sufficient distance . *apart to permit him to pour streams of tobacco juice with but short intervals be- tween them, varying the performance by industriously mopping his heated forc- head with a huge red handker chief. The doctor, who had once been a fsrricr in the army, sat on the rail several feet away, swinginghis feet in an impatient way and muttering stupendous oaths at the heat, the stage which was always be- hind time, and at the large blue ilies whose persistent persecution, directed particularly at his red nose, had several times nearly caused him to lose his bal- ance. Poker Joe, half gambler and half miner, in neither of which professions had he made a shining success, being per- petually dead broke, was leaning against the door-frame in a listless attitude with one boot crossed over the other as if it was a matter of perfect indifference to him whether the stage eVer arrived or not, \Valking up and down the short length of the porch was a man who ex- hibited a peculiar admixtureof impatience and nervous anxiety. Dressed in a well- fitting suit of dark clothing which was well brushed and evidently well cared for and with a face that would have been considered handsome but for an uneasy, and at times, when excited, a cruel glit- ter in his steely eyes, justified by his whole appearance the name given him in camp, that of Gentlemen Jack, the gum- bl As letters of recommendation or [figfs of previous social standing were not usually demanded or expected in the miscellaneous population that formed the mining camps of those days, but little was known of his history, although it had somehow got bruited in the little com- munity that Jack had been an active par- ticipator in scenes of violence and was "wanted" in the morecivilized partsof the county for his participation in several utl‘uirs where men mot violent deaths. Although these rumors had gained considerable credence in Gulchville, no one had ever ‘ had suflicient hardihood to question the ‘ object of them as to their truth or falsity, ‘_ as he was known to be a man of violent ‘ temper and a dead shot, an accomplish- ' ment which always commanded respect in ‘ a. place where the pistol took the place of law and all disputes were settled by its ' arbitrament. Biting -'.5 mustache and kicking from his path a stool which had fallen there, he walked to the edge (f the porch and for the hundredth time glanc- ed down the road. This time his impa- tience was rewarded for there, on the rise of the divide. could be seen A CLOUD 0F DUST. through which was presently faintly vis- ible the long-expected vehicle, which in a few minutes arrived in front of the Eagle with a flourish and dash be- fitting a larger and more appreciative gathering of spectators. No sooner had the stage stopped than there alighted one passenger, a woman, who although beau- tiful as an houri, yet had that about her which was calculated to repel rather than attract admiration. With regular features and glorious hair, and dressed in a neatâ€" lyâ€"titting travelling suit, she would have attracted attention anywhere. As she left the stage she asked for the proprie- tor in a musical voice, but with a laugh that was as heartless as it was uncalled for. Stating her desire to obtain accom- dations for several days, she was shown within, and soon had her wants attended to as well as possible for this out-of-the- way place. After Joe, the doctor, and the judge had somewhat recovered from their surprise at the advent of so unusual a visitor as a woman, with one accord they turned to where the gambler was standing, and their wonder was great to see him holding to a post forsupport, and gazing at the door through which the new- comer had entered with a fixed, horritied stare, and with his teeth chattering as with the ague. “Whats the matter, Jack? have you seen a ghost?" t thistheman‘s features relaxed, and with a scowl and a muttered oath he turned from the steps, and strode down the road, but with the uncertain steps of a drunken man, and was soon lost to view behind a clump of pines. Of course the new arrivaland the effect of her appearance upon the gam- bler were matters of a great deal of spec- ulation and wonder in the camp, and it was agreed on all hands that there was some mysterious connection between him and her visit. The cventswhich followed verified this in a terrible manner. Short- ly after supper the woman left the camp to take a walk , pursuing the same road the gambler had taken.
