1 in* Partners' Alliance.
It is predicted that the Farm-er-'
Alliance will collapse, as other
farmers' organizations have done,
but ;t is to be hoped that such
will not be the case. To prevent
it, the mistakes of other organiza-tions
should be avoided. One of
the surest ways to bring about
ruin ami disruption is to allow dc-signing
men to get control of the
order and manipulate it for their
c\\\\ benefit, regardless of the re-sult
to the majority.—Monroe
Planter.
To the above the Wilmington
Messenger adds the following
timely observations:
The Alliance ought to succeed,
and perpetuate its existence. It
will do so if it sticks to the pur-p
>se it was understood to have as
the object of its organization—the
interests of farmers, and the pro-motion
of the industry and science
of farming.
li-.i! when the Alliance invades
the domain of politics, and seeks
to incorporate the business of mcr-cantile
management, control and
pursuits, we are apprehensive that
the farmers'organization will enter
upon dangerous ground. We
have at all times been the staunch
friend and firm supporter of the
Alliance, and we insist that the
farmers should maintain an or-ganization
among themselves,
peculiar to their calling, and (or
the mutual benefit and better pro-tection
of their kind. We have
- never viewed with any degree of
ood gov-1 pleasure the tendency of the Alli-ir

Hints to l'rull Growers.
I Farm Journtl.J
It seems to be a prevalent fault
with our planters, especially those
new to the business, to order long
lists of varieties under the impres-sion
that should one variety fail,
they will possess others that will
be successful. This theory sounds
all right, but unfortunately there
are too many kinds that never do
bear with us, however well they
behave elsewhere.
The advice of all practical or-chardists
is to grow but few varie-ties,
and let the list contain only
such as have proven reliable, not
only in our own neighborhood but
on our grounds.

To endeavor to settle the

and yet preserve the
ons of color and social ir.-
ivhicll are defined by an
providence for the good
race, and the advancc-thc
best interests of the
family. We believe that
be ultimate mission of the colored
with us, so that we may gain valu-able
advice from our neighbors in
this respect.
It is better policy to have a
large crop of Baldwins or Smith's
Cider apple than to have a limit-ed
supply of a dozen or two kinds
of doubtful quality.
No matter how superior any
fruit is, if it should prove a doubt-ful
bearer, don't plant it. The
variety of medium quality, is, after
all. what we need, and plenty of it.
Appearance is a great factor in
the question of profit, and will sell
many varieties that are rated in
the books as only "good." It is
human nature to prefer plenty of
a simply good article to the mere
taste of a luxury.
How may the "yellows" be
avoided? By taking the best of
care of the trees, and trusting the
rest to nature. The most success-ful
growers are those who culti-vate
thoroughly, prune judicious-ly,
and the moment a tree shows
any symptoms of this malady, out
it comes.
As a matter of course, healthy
trees are a necessity to start with.
The malady may be contracted
before the foliage shows any signs
of its presence, and is disseminat-ed
in a variety of ways. The
merest contact will effect the pur-pose,
or the germs may be con-veyed
from tree to tree by the
action of the air. Birds, insects,
&c, may carry the infinitesimal
seed-like bodies from one to the
other, so that efforts to prevent
the spread of the disease have so
far proven abortive.
Wood ashes or potash in some
cases have been known to impart
health and vigor to sickly trees,
although this remedy is not in-fallible,
but neither is any other
that has so far been suggested. A
thoroughly healthy tree, is how-ever,
less liable to succumb to the
disease than one which has been
stunted or starved—a reasonable
theory, and is another plea in fav-or
of high, clean culture.
Old gardeners recommended a
gentle pressure with the foot
around the newly planted tree,
but more recent experiments have
demonstrated that the soil at such
times should be tramped as firm
as possible. This is really one of
the most valuable discoveries of
modern times, and may be applied
to every department of plant cul-ture,
even to seeds when commit-ted
to the soil.
For newly potted plants it will
be found of the greatest use, fre-quently
saving their lives, and of-fering
the largest inducement
possible to form fresh young roots.
This bringing the soil into imme-diate
contact with every root and
fibre is the solution of a secret,
which, simple as it is, has remain-ed
unsolved until of late years.
Never forget to "firm the soil"
under all conditions, unless very
wet, when it is unwise to plant
anything.
The wild cherry tree is the
favorite nesting place for cater-pillars.
Some people advise cut-ling
down such cherry trees, but
if cut down the insects will nest in
the apple trees. Better let them
gather thickly in the wild cherry
and destroy them when first hatch-ed
by shooting handfuls of beans
into them with a shot gun, or
burning them with a swab of
cloth, dipped in kerosense oil, at-tached
to a pole.

All farming is in one sense a
continuous, never ending round of
sowing, cultivating, leaping, just
as the year is ever spring, summer,
fall and winter. And yet who
ever saw two seasons alike, or the
cultivating of the soil that ought
i to have been the same? Wc must
study our work if we are going to
make a success of it.

Parnell Is the Hoar of Triumph.
[From the London Time*-March 2J.)
Mr. Parnell, on rising at II
o'clock, was greeted with an un-wonted
demonstration, the whole
of the Opposition, including Mr.
Gladstone, Sir W. Harcourt, and
indeed nearly almost the front
OppolHion bench, rising en masse,
and cheering with the greatest en-thusiasm
for some minutes. The
honorable gentleman said :
MR. SPEAKER :—I desire to sup-port
in a very few words the
amendment on which we are
shortly to divide. (Mr. Morley's
amendment to the address in re-ply
to the Queen's speech.) I
agree with the amendment, that
the system of government pur-sued
in Ireland by the right hon-orable
gentleman and his instru-ments
is unjust and oppressive to
the Irish people; and I also agree
with the concluding portion of the
amendment,' that this system may
give place to measures of concili-ation
which may truly cement the
union between the two countries.
[Cheers] I desire, also, sir, to
express some words of sympathy
for my colleagues who have suf-fered,
and are suffering, in Ireland
by the unscrupulous means adopt-ed
by the right honorable gen-tleman.
I sympathize with my
friends who have bravely counter-worked
the present Government
in Ireland, and I believe that they
will be richly rewarded in the
near future by the victory which
patient suffering always in the
end wins over tyranny. [Loud
cheers.]
The right honorable gentleman
sought to intimidate by the in-fliction
of prison pains and penal-ties.
He failed in that. [Cheers.]
His victims were not intimidated.
[Cheers.] He now seeks to de-grade
them by association with
ordinary criminals and all the
other unnecessary incidents con-nected
with the system of prison
discipline in Ireland. He has at-tempted
to degrade. My honorable
friends have not been degraded
[cheers] either in their opinion,
in the opinion of their country-men,
or in the opinion of the peo-ple
of England. [Loud cheers.]
It is the old story. The right
honorable gentleman has run
through the different degrees.
"Oh, give me power to imprison
any man I please !" said the la.e
Mr. Forester, "and 1 am assured
by those who know Ireland well
that this movement will crumble
away before me." Mr. Forester
failed. The right honorable gen-tleman
thought that by adding
the power of imprisonment at
will, the power also of inflicting
these hardships and these degra-dations,
he could conquer the re-sistance
of Ireland ; but he also
is finding out his mistake. He
has been exceptionally fortunate.
Ever since he came into office the
prices of produce have been stead-ily
rising. If it had not been for
the means he has used, I believe
he would now see a fairly tranquil
Ireland instead of a discontented
one from the centre to the sea.
[Cheers.]
Among the other successes of
the right honorable gentleman I
suppose he will also claim, as
sworn in the Commission Court
the other day, the doubling in
numbers during the period of his
administration of the revolution-arv
society called the Clan-na-
G.icl. [Loud cheers and laugh-ter.]
Well, sir, it is useless for the
Government to plead, as they
have pleaded, that they have to
administer the law, and that the
law does not permit them to alter
the system of prison discipline.
The law is as they made it.
[Cheers.] They refused us the
riLjlit to suggest alterations in
the law. They forced upon Par-liament
the rule of urgency under
which we were prohibited from
moving a clause directed to this
very question. [Cheers.] It is
they and their majority who are
responsible for this law, and they
must stand and fall by the results
of its working. [Cheers and coun-ter
cheers.] I shall not stop now
to remind the House of one of the
means by which they obtained this
urgency [cheers] of the conspira-cy
which assisted them [renewed
cheers] on the very night of the
second reading to steal away the
liberties of Ireland. [Cheers.]
They will have, then, to stand or
Carcw [cheers], and like my friend
Mr. W. Redmond [cheers] to lie
on the plank bed, and to associate
with common and vile criminals
for political offenses committed in
Ireland.
You wish now, you may say, to
alter the law and to secure this
difference of Treatment, and' I
suppose you claim credit because
you have placed Mr. O'Brien and
Mr. Carew in hospital, and given
them back their clothes. [Laugh-ter.]
But wc do not claim this
treatment as exceptional to these
gentlemen. On the contrary, we
think less of them and their suffer-ings
than we do of those of the
humblest men in our ranks.
[Cheers.] And why ? Because
those humbler men have not the
same chances in their fight against
your system. [Hear, hear.] You
cannot kill Mr. O'Brien; you dare
not. [Cheers.] You cannot tor-ture
Mr. Carcw to death; you
dare not do so. [Cheers.] How
about the others ? How about
the obscurer men who are not
members of Parliament, men like
John Mandcville [cheers], who
were done to death in carrying
out this system, and necessarily
done to death if you must carry
out the system ? [Cheers.] How
about Larkin ? [Cheers.] He
was convicted of a political of-fence,
just as much a political of-fence
as those offences committed
by Mr. O'Brien or Mr. Carew. It
is for these men that we have the
most sympathy, because the fight
for them is not an even, not an
equal one. It is in the interests
of these men that we claim an
alteration of the law, an alteration
of the prison treatment. [Cheers.]
I do not know whether the right
honorable gentleman intends to
alter the law; but he has placed
himself in the position which he
occupies to-night. He has said
that there shall be no distinction
between the treatment of political
prisoners and persons convicted
of any other offence in Ireland.
Therefore he is obliged to carry
out this law to its bitter end. But
it is not contistcnt to give Mr.
O'Brien and Mr. Carew this ex-ceptional
treatment if he does not
extend the same treatment to the
others. [Cheers.]
The honorable and gallant
member for North Armagh has
treated us to some of his fire-eat-ing
policy with which we are so
familiar. He has told us of the
50,000 armed men he is going to
put into the field. I' venture to
think, if he ever succeeds in put-ting
them into the field, that they
will not remain very long there.
[Laughter and "Hear, hear."] I
will tell him why. There is no
example in history of a determin-ed
rebellion by a people or by a
arge section of a people unless
they were spurred on to it, incit-ed
to it by grfcat oppression, suf-fering,
and injustice. [Hear, hear.]
The honorable and gallant gen-tleman
thinks that he will be able
to incite the Orangemen in the
North of Ireland into a determin-ed
and stubborn resistance not
against the rest of Ireland merely,
but against the Parliament and
against England and Scotland
[Ministerial cries of "No," and
Home Rule cheers]—when no
oppression has been inflicted upon
them, when 'hey will have no
grievances to complain of, when
they will not have been touched
or injured in any respect. I say
that the honorable and gallant
gentleman is simply led away by
his own enthusiasm; but he will
find that it is impossible to create
such a movement out of such un-promising
material. I say that if
he is able to persuade this House
to remove the grievances of Ire-land,
and to continue to meet the
wants and requirements of the
Irish people; and if, after a long
series of years, he is able to prove
to the people of Ireland that this
House is really willing and able
to meet the necessities of that
country, then I believe that he
wrAild' banish discontent. Now,
woich does the honorable and
power of dealing with all those
matters which concern herself,
and herself alone, without the
slightest shadow of danger or risk
to the interests of the empire.
[Hear, hear.] All I ask is that
you on your side should be willing
to consider and deal with this
question as if it were an open
question; that you should consider
how far you can give to Ireland
the right to legislate for herself
with safety to your own greater,
and undoubtedly more overpower-ing,
influences. It is legitimate
and right that wc. being the
smaller country, should endeavor
to conciliate you in every possible
manner, and yield to you, and
agree to such safeguards as you
may think necessary or desirable
for the security of your own inter-ests.
[Cheers.] We have always
been anxious and willing for this,
and we are willing to do so still.
I am convinced that our people,
knowing that England and Scot-land
and Wales have for the first
time turned the ear of reason to
the solution of this question, will
steadily resist every incitement to
disorder, to turbulence and to
crime; and that they will hold fast
in the true way pointed out to
them by the right honorable gen-tleman,
the member for Mid Loth-ian,
in 1885 (cheers), until he gets
that chance, which we hope and
believe will be a near one. both
for the sake of Ireland and for the
sake of England, of again touch-ing
the great heart of his country-men.
(Cheers.)

Some day the intelligent histor-ian
who has heard and treasured
up the General's opinion of men
and measures will be able to
weave a story of amazing interest.
His reminiscences of men are ex-ceedingly
valuable, and his won-derful
memory is never at fault
when he wants to call up a n?me
or a circumstance. One incident
he relates about Jeff Davis that is
not generally known. It was just
before Davis left the Senate, and
he invited Gen. Cameron to take
breakfast with him at his home.
After breakfast Davis was telling
how the South was going to set
up for itself, when Gen. Cameron
remarked: "Mr. Davis, the very
first bullet that is fired at the old
flag sets every slave in the South
free."
"I don't know what inspired me
to say that," said Gen. Cameron,
"for it was an inspiration, but how
true it was this country knows."

The negro exodus fever, instead
of abating as some papers have
intimated, seems to be raging
higher every day. Scores of ne-groes
are emigrating every day.
Nearly one thousand left over
the Richmond & Danville road
during February, and the present
month to all appearances promises
to double the number. Most of
the emigrants go to the cotton
plantations of Mississippi and
Louisiana.
