Real Estate Broker and General Land Agent DECAY OF GRAPE ROOTS. BY P. W. MORSE. The attention of viticulturists has, during the past few years, been called to a pecuhar decay of the vine, which, in outward appearance, resembles that of vines attacked by the phylloxera. As the subject has heretofore been but little studied, and no cause has been given for the decay, few or no remedies have been applied to check the evil, or to provide means for its prevention. Although the amount of damage done is usually slight, not sufficient to seriously affect the production, still the unsightly appearance it gives to a vineyard makes it a source of annoyance to him who would make his vineyard ornamental as well as profitable. The affected spots, as usually seen, are circular; the vines of the inner part are nearly dead, and frequently during cultivation have been turned over and partially uprooted. On the margin of the spots, where the vines use less affection, only a short bushy growth or head indicates a lack of vigor. The color of the foliage is not indigently affected, but its general appearence is stunted and brittle. If the top of one of these stocks lies pushed, it readily yields, as it is supported only by a few roots, usually only one near the surface of the ground; this keeps it from dying, but does not give sufficient nourishment for the WHY THERE ARE NO WATER-RATS IN IRELAND. In an interesting article on the vole or water-rat, by Mr. Grant Allen, in the English Country Gentleman, the writer discusses the question why certain animals, such as snakes, viper's, water-rats, etc., are not found in Ireland. For the real solution of the problem, he says, we must go back to the time when England, Ireland and the Continent were united by a broad belt of land across the beds of the English Channel. St. George's Channel and the North Sea. It is now an ascertained fact that in the very latest geological period, known as the glacial epoch, the whole surface of the British Islands (except an insignificant strip of the south-east) was covered from end to end with a deep coating of glaciers, like that which now envelops all polar lands, and while this condition of things prevailed there were, of course, no animals of any sort in all Britain, or at any rate, none but a few Arctic types. After the ice melted, however, the existing British fauna, such as it is, began to occupy the land, and the fact that it did so is one proof, though by no means the only proof, that a communication with the Continent then existed across the bed of the North Sea. Now, the animals only pushed their way very slowly into the newly cleared region as the ice melted away, and this consequence is that only some FREE COACH from all Trains. D. W. HUDSON.

ADAMS, MERCHANT TAILOR The close resemblance of many of these spots to those of and to a man exercised vineyards has led many to believe that the decay was caused by the workings of the deadened insects; but if the roots are closely examined, to the depth of one foot or eightteen inches, the top root will be found partially decayed. Anole from this, the roots may be in good condition, without any markings of insects. Frequently a heavy growth of fungus accompanies the decay, and is formed on the less affected roots. It is rather a result than a cause of the weakness of the vine. Wood worms naturally find their way into the rotting wood. As to the origin of the decline, very little can be said with certainty. Its frequent occurrence over spots where old stumps and roots of trees have been allowed to decay points to this as a possible cause. This becomes more probable when we remember that during the decomposition of all such bodies, a complete cotton takes place varying with the kind of decomposing matter, and produces compounds which may be important to digestion. It would seem in this case that the oil produces compounds noticeably objectionable to the growth of the young stumps of the vine, and even the Madison is frequently mentioned in connection with these spots. The trouble is most frequently met with in those valleys where these species of trees originally grew in greatest abundance. Both are rich in ingredients which really humble. During the first part of the decay of the stumps, humans bodies are formed, which are beneficial to the growth of vegetation, but soon the true decomposition ceases, and organic acids are formed which may "sour" the soil, and render it unfit for certain vegetable nutrition. Attending circumstances, as well as the variety of decaying organic matter, influence the nature of the products formed, which may or may not be immediate value to the surrounding vegetation. The decomposition of the stump roots then leaves the soil in a very poor condition to receive and nourish fine rotters which are easily destroyed, and these being full of sap, decay quickly, carrying the decay to the harder parts of the vine. which now envelops all polar lands, and while this condition of things prevailed there were, of course, no animals of any sort in all Britain or at any rate, none but a few Arctic types. After the ice melted, however, the existing British fauna, such as it is, began to occupy the land, and the fact that it did so is one proof, though by no means the only proof, that a communication with the Continent then existed across the bed of the North Sea. Now, the animals only pushed their way very slowly into the newly cleared region as the ice melted away, and this consequence is that only some forty kinds of mammals out of the whole European taiga had penetrated as far as England before the gradual submergence of the lowland belt separated it from the continent by forming the inclosing arms of the sea. But Ireland lies even further west than England, and there is reason to believe that St George's Channel had all been flooded some time before the waves of the Atlantic book down the last link between Dover and Calais. Accordingly, Ireland never got her fair share of the land animals at all, for through the wolf and fox and the Irish hare and many other quickly migrating creatures had time to cross the intervening belt before the submergence, several smaller or slower creatures, including the viper, did not get over the ground fast enough, and were thus shut out forever from the Isle of Saints. Among them were the whole race of voles, and that is the reason why Ireland to this day has no water rats. Murder at San Gabriel. Los Angeles Times, July 8. News reached the Times office last evening that Ben Avise, a brother of Ben and Master Avise, back drivers in this city, had been shot. San Gabriel Mission was promptly telephoned, and the following particulars, so far as they were known at the time by residents of the town, were obtained. Ben Avise has been a resident of San Gabriel for some years past, where his father and family also reside. For the last two years he has ingad a lawsuit with one Smith, a farmer in Savannah, over a piece of land in the Rose trout near the Mission, the land in question being claimed by both Last spring Avise planted the land in grain, and when, a few weeks ago, he attempted to eat it for hay. Smith had him and his employees arrested on a charge of malicious mischief. Col. Wells of this city was the attorney for the defense, and the prisoner was not only acquitted but she hay awarded to him on condition that he remove it within a certain time. This decision, of course, still further embittered Smith, and it is reported that threats were freely made. Yesterday Avise came to town and remained here the greater part of the day. He arrived at San Gabriel about 5:30 p.m., and in company with his wife met five men, all armed with shotguns, and either employees of or interested in some way with Smith in WASHINGTON Meat Market!

WE ARE NO WATER-IN IRELAND. A FRENCH EDEN. A swindle, resembling very much that described by Dickens in Martin Chuzzlewit, but supplemented by tragic results, is at present a subject matter before a French tribunal. In 1877 Charles Bonaventura du Breil, Marquis de Rays, started the idea of establishing a free and Christian colony in Oceana, and published this advertisement in the Petit Journal. Free Colony of Port Breton. Land at five francs the hectaire (a little over two acres) payable by one franc a month. Sure and rapid fortune without leaving one's country. For information, apply, etc. This did not work to the satisfaction of the advertiser, who kept the intolerance in the paper without result during an entire year. He then established an agency on a prominent thoroughfare in Paris, issued glowing announcements, and selected another paper, the Nouvelle Prayer, as his official representative. He moreover held meetings where he discussed his subject, and even went so far as to attempt to bring religion to his aid. This is what he said at Marselles. You know very well that every enterprise adverse to God, or even different to Him cannot long exist. Faithful to her divine mission, France was powerful. And other language which need not be repeated. But he succeeded in stirring up a religious influence in his favor. Branch offices of his enterprise were opened at Paris, Havre, Antwerp, Brussels, Jersey and elsewhere. A Poem by a Popular Actress. From the Denver Tribune. THE WANDERER. Upon a mountain's height, far from the sea, I found a shell. And to my mind us car this lonely thing Ever a song of ocean seemed to sing— Ever a tail of ocean seemed to tell. How came this shell upon the mountain height? Ah, who can say? Whether there dropped by some too careless hand— Whether there cast when oceans swept life land Ere the eternal had ordained the Day? Strange, was it not; far from its native sea, One song it sang— Song of the mighty mysteries of the tide— Song of the awful vast profound and wide— Safely with echoes of the ocean rang. And, as the shell upon the mountain's height Singes of the sea, So do I ever, leagues and leagues away— So do I ever, wandering where I may, Sing, O my home—sing, O my home, of thee. HELENA MODJENKA. Investigating Spiritualism. Chicago, July 7 — The late Henry Seybert, who gave a new bell for Independence Hall left a large number of bequests, amounting to $4,500,000—for public and charitable uses, among which was one of $50,000 to endow a chair of moral and intellectual philosophy in the University of Pennsylvania, with the expressed wish that the University would thoroughly investigate modern spiritualism, in which he was a firm believer. The University accepted the bequest and has now begun steps to carry out At San Gabriel.

Professional Schools for the Blind A true philanthropist, Mr. Lavanely Clarke, has just established in the center of Paris professional workshops for the blind. In the growth of such institutions France has been sady behind the United States, England, and even much smaller countries such as Holland, Denmark and Saxony. By an official report recently issued it appears that England alone sold last year more than $400,000 worth of very fine articles manufactured by her blind citizens. Up to last year there was in France about 28,000 persons afflicted with natural or accidental cecity. Of these unfortunate 400 children were cared for at the Paris National Institute for the Blind while 300 men and Investigating Spiritualism.

The University accepted the bequest and has now begun steps to carry out the wish of the testator. A Philadelphia special says. A Commission has been appointed, of which the Chairman is Dr. William Pepper. Proof of the University and a gentleman of acknowledged scientific attentions of a high order. Dr Pepper will be into the physiological and medical phases of the problem and will devote his attention to the subject of spiritualism from these standpoints. Professors Liely and Koeng will contest the physical aspects, so far as they relate to natural philosophy, while Mullerton and Rev. Professor Thompson will view the subject from a purely intellectual and metaphysical standpoint. There is now on hand available for the prosecution of the investigation $15,000. No formal meeting of the Commission has yet been held, although there exists among its members a general understanding of the work and the necessities of the investigation. Joliet, Ill., July 7 — News reached here last evening of a terrible accident that occurred at Walker's stone quarry. There was a large crowd of spectators watching the loading of a sixteen-ton stone slab on to a car by means of an immense derrick. When the stone was nearly high enough to be swung upon the car, the steel gay ropes gave way and the heavy iron derrick, nearly one hundred feet high, fell with terrible force into the crawl. Matt Rogers, John Bloom and Elmar Looms were instantly killed, and John Anderson, D. Conners, A. B. Dennys, C. A. Walker, Dan McBride, J. B Malley and a young lady who happened to be passing at the time were seriously if not totally injured. The dead men were all well known citizens. Oxskoo Lake, Mich., July 6 — Alexander Parry, fifty years old attempted to enter the house of Anna Butwell. The young wife of the latter was alone. He had visited her in the day but had left after making improper overtures to her. When he was observed approaching the second time, he was warned by Mrs. Butwell, and he failing to regard the warning shot and killed him with a Winchester rifle. Rare Indurement. A pretty Wisconsin schoolmarm to encourage orphans, promised to kiss the first scholar at school, and all the large boys took to resting on the floor at night. A greater indurment is held out by Dr. on a charge of malicious Wells of this city was the defense, and the prisoner admitted but the hay awarded upon that he remove it with. This decision, of course,attered Smith, and it is reacts were freely made. Yesome to town and remained part of the day. He arrived about 5:30 P.M., and in his wife met five men, all guns, and either employees in some way with Smith in dispute.

In the growth of such institutions France has been sadly behind the United States England, and even much smaller countries such as Holland, Denmark and Saxony. By an official report recently issued it appears that England alone sold last year more than $400,000 worth of very fine articles manufactured by her blind citizens. Up to last year there was in France about 28,000 persons affiliated with natural or accidental cecity. Of these unfortunates 400 children were cared for at the Paris National Institute for the Blind, while 300 men and women had comfortable quarters in the old hospital of the Quinze Vingts. Yet more than 27,000 of them were left to themselves, and lived a life of misery when Mr. Clarke undertook to come to their rescue. Now there is at last a Blind Workshop Society, presided over by Senator Krantz. In Belfort street there has been built not an abyss but a large professional school, where the blind go every morning, work, breakfast, lunch and dinner, after which they go to their homes like any other workmen. Anyone visiting Paris during the summer season will find interest in examining that model and instructive establishment. There are to be found at work hundreds of men, women and children, lost in darkness, but with fingers that go wonderfully to and fro as if these people were endowed with the blessing of vision. Brushes of all patterns, baskets of all shapes, straw and rush chair bottoms, are manufactured with precision and workmanlike skill. Wood, ivory, or metals are turned, and carpets and all kinds of mats, ropes and hats are made. Under the direction of a foreman, blind as themselves, all these poor fellows bent on their work, seem really to see it. Upon their lips is stereotyped that peaceful smile born of the constant contemplation of the invisible. Here they are tightening the order of baskets, twisting the straw of chair bottoms, driving in the quitch grass or the hair of brushes, and no keen-sighted mechanic could approach the mathematical regularity of their work. Look at their brushes, not a hair is higher than the other. Never does a blind turn hurt himself with his chinna saw, while many two-eyed artists might show you his hands notched by its use. Strange to say, Parisian fashion brings every day to the Jardin d'Acclimatation thousands of curiosity seekers eagerly staring at a dozen elephants just arrived from India, who build walls, work millstones, and mix mortar with their trunks. Good enough; but how much more impressive is the workmanship of the sons of blindness!
