Fruit Growing.
Mr. Jostan Hoorer, an authority on | floricultural, arborcultural, horticuliural, | and agricultaral topics, in a recent paper, strongly puts forth the statement that | “certain varieties of fruit are adapted | only to particular locelities.” This is the | essense of what we wished to convey iu a} former article on the subject of fruit | growing. Our obseryation led usto the} same conclusion #s that reached by Mr. | Hooper. And as more attention now paid here to pomological matters than formerly those who purpose planting fruit trees, should make a study of the hest kinds adapted to our climate and soil. | Those who eopntemplate putting | out new trees, or to commence or extend | ir fruit growing, need not now de so . hap-hazard way. There are those | ov ‘he Island who have had considerable experience in fruit growing, and are abe to name kinds or sorts which may be profitably produced here; and we be ieve either of the gentlemen we shall nae, would freely communicate theii ex oerience in the matter, or apswer avy re.sonable question. We have _ pre- vieusly used the names of William Browa, Beoj. Wright, and Abraham Gill, iisq’s., (aud we hope they will pardon us tor dorng so again) as successful fruit growers. A few hints as to sorts,| methods of transplanting, locality or sitnation of orchards, e‘c., would greatly aid the beginuer, avd evable older hands to correct former mistakes, and enable them to understand the reason for former failures. Local experience aud advice in tree planting and fruit growiug is much better thau any which comes from a distance. And this brings us again to the idea or point from which we commenced this articles,—Certain Sruus are adapted to certain localities. Ouly experience in a locality is of use in growing freit in that particular locality ; aud it is not vecessary that any man who contemplates fruit raising shall spend years in experimenting. He can obtain valuable information from gentlemen in the vicinity who have experimented, and have succeeded after mavy failures. There are always those who delight in working for the good of their iellow men; who thoughtfully experiment and experience the utmost pleasure wiheu successful. They are not prompted by the greed of gain, or the applause of the multitude ; aad it is well for the world that there is such a “ Remoant.” At least so far as the noble few we speuk of are concerned, Matthew Arnold, in pic— turing the few—the rempant—as the salt of the earth, is correct.

The Congo Conference.
Ar the opeving of the Congo UCon- ference, Prince Bismarck wade a speech, in which he said hat the Conference had fur its object the solution of three main questions: Free navigation with free- dom of trade on the Congo River, free navigation of the Niger River, and the formalities of valid annexation of ter- citory to be observed in future on the
tinent of Africa. Negatively the Couterence would not concern itself with he present questions of sovereignty. ‘Tne Chancellor hoped the labors of the Couference would result in the further- peace and good-wil} amongst Sir Edward Malet, British Commissioner, echoed the scutiments expressed by Bismarek, and accepted the points proposed as the basis for dis- evssion, With the following reservation : ik: cland was willing to see the ptineiples of free navigation, ete., ex- tended to the Niger, but expected that su'veillance over the exercise of those pr-aeiples would not be made the business of au international body; that was the duty and privilege of England, as she was the chief, if not the sole, proprietary Power on the lower Niger. Portugal has drawo up a memorandum io the Contereuce iasisting on her right to the Congo, aud declaring Portuguese treasure and blood have been freely spent to main- tain order on the Congo for the benefit of the commerce of all vatious. Portugal admits the principle of freedom of pas-

For some time before the mails were distributed the reom was more than comfortably filled, and still people of both sexes kept crowdingin.

To make matters worse, the half doors at the entrance were bolted.

while waiting for attendance in public or private. In banks, in post cftices, on steamboats, in custom houses, at theatre wickets, in the United States, when there is more than one person waiting to be at- tended to, the one coming first must be attended to first, and so on till all are served. Here, those with most assurance and muscle are first served, and the weak and timid must stand aside. There, if a person pushes to the front, ahead of his turn, he is either forcibly displaced or de- rided into retreat, and is certainly never waited on while he is out of place. The night in question was not the first time that crushes have occurred in the Post Cfice, although the one we attempt to describe was the worst one we witnessed, and it is certainly the part of the officers to see that decency and order are maintained.

The proposed borrower paid $30 as a preliminary fee, but objected to pey cash for Hender’s travelling expen- ses, saying it could be deducted from the $10,000 which he was going to borrow.
To this McKinnon in another letter objected, saying that $¢60 must be paid in full and urging the payment of the amount due for expenses
as he (McKinnon) had paid this to Hender and was now anxious to have it refunded. There isafeeling among members of the dar that the matter should be thoroughly investigated, so that Mr. McKinnon’s part in the transaction should be cleared up.
