Siiiall-footed women tottered : along, held up by their children ; while others bore ome goodbi of -bronze -for 'some family treasure, f Several Icwing machines' lay on the road j and I niet5 a tuperb American piano- carried along.

' AtJast we reached the cordon of sol diers, ami beyond t a blazing mass was all that remained of the civil" ; hospital and eight other f4arge and general -stood 4 ' houses. The governor here; and the governor said to me, "I had j to blow it up to saved the jail ;n and then he whispered, "God knows what we may hae to do ; there are nearly one . thousand jpnsoncrs." Now came the shrill b!ast of flie bugle. "Stand back all.'1 j Oyt came from the smoke the engineer officers, having just laid the charges to blow up the rear of the hospital, which adjoined tliojail4jard. Another ex plosion of bricks, blazingHbits of rafter, a shoirer ofsparks and binding smoke ami a gorgeojiis cloud of colored flame showed the ; drugs stored in the hospital were commotion; which I alight. TJien came a did not understand! Soldiers marched up, fresh cries were raisediml a stranger com-i ing up said, "You jhad better stand up on the rise of the hillj for they are about to bring out the prisoners." It was. like the riot scene in "Barnaby jKudgei" I could hear the order, "Ifix bayonets, and then down through the crowd and dust tramped the soldiers, with about one hundred hand cuffed creatures iii their midst. When X and I returned we followed the governor through the baek jentraiiec in the jail, pars ing through the eetttj-al police station, where "the insiectdrs4 who are married men, have large quarters. Here English furni ture, books, ornaments,! dresses lay about drenched with water. The governor of the j jail told me-thatjthc jail was saved by the blowing up of'Tlte; civil 'hospital, but that the danger then w'as from the police station stables. Very soon they were gallantly brok en open, principally by sailors, and huge piles of hay handed from man to man T and thrown down; the Jtjep streets; and that night many j homeless Chinese were -cuddled under the' hay.j. Now the block of buildings in front of th Oriental bank was to. be blown up. I hastened thither, thro' a never-ciiding scene of S distress; to find the bank hung over with the handsome car pets soaked ivvith wafer. Within doors papers were being! packed in safes, bank notes in tire-proof boxes1, and so sent down to the harbor escorted by soldiers, and plated in steam launches. I watched the blow ing up of Koss' tailoring establishment, a fine block of buihlnigs. Several fifty pound charges of powder weretlaid, the bugle sounded aain, and Ross' ceased to exist.

We don't know that we say them in ex actly the same way, but our esteemed co-' temporary, the Macon Metmentjer says some things very well worth thej saying in some way. Few tilings are so silly as quarreling ; : nothing so silly as quarreling in the news papers. Yet, as the Meeriger says, "we frequently find in the newspapers flagrant attackg or diatribes against unolfending in dividuals, usually cnianating from hird or fourth class editors of obscure prints, or weak and disgruntled' pe -sons, who hope thus to provoke controversy and thereby -be dragged forth prominently before the pub lic. 'But any journalist who respects him self and is conscious of -seeking to do his duty onlv, scorns to notice these little fice- like attacks, and besides, can spare neither time nor space to advertisj such Lillipu tian assailants. - ''The proper plan is to jursiie the even tenor of j-our way without turning aside, either to thfe right or left, to notice these petty flings, "unless they assume the grave proportions of personal calumny and false hood, and can be traced to a respectable source. Then, by all means still keep out of print, and hold the party to summary and severe ersonal account for gratuitous and unmerited insults. "The best way to settle! difficulties and put down slanders, is to mpct : their authors face to face and amically settle, if possible, any differences that may eiist. What does the public care for the personal affairs and quarrels of an editor ? It is an insult to your readers to foist private matters and grievances upon their attention in lieu of news and more interesting pnformatioh.

Char- Curl nre of Celery. Peter Henderson says in ' Gardening for Profit 4-I know of no vegetable on- the cultivation of which thers is so much use less labor expended wtth such unsatisfac- tory results as celery," but Mr. Henderson u-ives a method which is kit once so simple and practical that no one need fail. I had nevuir seen celerv "rowing when I read "Gardening for Profit," bjut by carefully ob serving Mr. Henderson's rules I succeeded in obtaining celery that at our last State Fair. took the premium 2!anted the-jsceu in the onen ground as soon as the soil; was dry enough to work well, and began to cultivate as soon as the plants could be seen, keeping the ground loose and . free from weeds. -Twice,' before transplanting, I sheared the tops of the plants off to in duce atalky growth, And about" the 20th June they were ready jjtor transplanting, which was done, not-ii jjtrenches as most writers direct, but on the level surface, in rows about three feet aijid a half apart.

Pro fessor Stockbridgo, of the Amherst Agricultural College, has been making some experiments as to the origin of dew',' and has arrived at conclusions somewhat different from those general ly accepted. It is Usually held that dew is the moisture of the air condensed through contact with objects of a low er temperature, and that it does not form until radiation has reduced the tempcratue of the earth. Professor Stock bridge asserts, however, that dew is the result of condensation by the air of yarm .vapor which rises from the soiJj and he embodies the result of his experiments in these propositions: l. Tlie va)br of the soil is much warmer at ipght than the air, and would be condensed bj it. 2. Vapor from the soil; is soon diffused and equalized in thejwhole atmosphere, but in the larg - est proportim when evaporation is j taking place near the surface of the soil ; aud, other things being equal, plants nearest the earth have the most dew. 3, Dew under hay-cocks, boards, ami like obiccts on the ground, could receive it from no other source.
