I TRANSPLANTING
OP TREES AT NIGHT.
Means by wbicli Successful Transplantation
of Budding Trees has
Been. Accomplished ? Albert
Maumcnein La Nature.
M. Rene Rounault has made some
very remarkable experiments in nocturnal
transplanting. Up to the present
the transplanting of plants and trees has
been a veiy costly and delicate operation,
the methods of which M. Rounault has
now greatly modified.
It has been observed in the past?an
observation which M. Raunault has not
ignored?that late plantings (when the
trees have commenced to bud) mad 3 in
in the evening, the plants being immediately
and copiously watered, are much
more successful than those made during
the day, all things being equal. Being
called upon to transplant a large tract
toward the end of the month of May,
M. Rounault decided to work at n^ht,
and in order to be sure that he made no
mistake he t.ranfinl#nt.?l nr. ton
in the evening in his own establishment
a Holland linden which had been in the
nursery for five years. He carefully
watered the tree, and the branches which
bore buds were plentifully moistened.
The linden did not appear to suffer
from this transplanting, and continued
to grow normally without giving any
sign of weakness. Encouraged by this
success, M Hour, a nit performed the
work of transplanting which he contemplated
wholly in the night-time. The
results were excellent, only two trees,
which had not been counted on because
of the bad state of their roots, dying,
although the choice of species was extremely
wide, containing many which
are rebellious to the process of transplantation.
With reference to the precautions to
be observed It should be stated that
transplantation be not done when the
buds are too tender, and should take
place between 10 o'clock p. m. and 2
o'clock a. m. It is much more desirable
to recover the roots with earth taken

of the air and light, the settling of
this earth being* obtained, not by means
of pressure of tbe feet, but by copious
watering, wbich forces tbe earth between
the roots. Abundant sprinkling
of the boughs and leaves is performed

great evaporation and at the same time
reviving the plant.

American Aristocracy.
I
Is it true that there are, and always
will be, classes in this country, and that
we are coming more and more to be
divided into an aristocracy and a common
people? We have, aud have always had,
all sorts and conditions of men?rich
men and poor men, professional men,
farmers, artizans, laborers, when whose
hands were soft, men whose hands were
hard, wise men and foolish, polite men
and rude, dwellers in palaces and dwellers
in cottages, and in tenement houses.
Theie is no lack of variety about u?.
Great iu? qualities of condition, great
disDaiities of nnalitv ?. ?? rpi>.w?nIvj Vmt
__ J ??' .vwvt.li?W,
from anything like a sharp division between
an aristocracy and a common people
we seem further off a good deal than
we were when Washington was president
NO MATERIAL FOR AN ARISTOCRACY
For we have the common people in
great store and more coming: but where
is our aristocracy, and who are of it, anu
wh) ? It takes two sorts to make an
aristocracy: one sort to sit ih high places
and another to look up. W e have not
enough of tither sort to be worth classifying.
We have a great many rich people
most of whom are busy trying to get
richer. Among them are a few families
in whose possession within the last forty
years wealth has accumulated in such
enormous quantity that their position,
fiscally considered, seems assured and
staple. There is no prospect of shirt
sleeves ahead for these families in three
generations or ten. Some of them, who
have a liking for fashionable life, have
intermarried with families that
undoubtedly belong to tho aristocracies
of European countries. But these
rich people do not constitute an American
aristocracy. They are a feature, a
new incident of our civilization, rather
than a class. They are a fairly definite
group, but not an especially important
ono. Their countrymen regard them
with an interest that is lively but hum
orous.
An aristocracy, to bs worih oounting,
must have something substantial to rest
upon. It must have power, position
and money. We have plenty of rich
people, plenty of well-born people, plenty
of men of power, but they do not constitute
au aristocracy. There was an
aristocracy in the South, but it lost its
money and most of its power a generation
ago. The lists of members of the
various societies of descendants of colonial
and revolutionary fighting men that
have sprung up within the last tweutyQve
ye *rs might constitute a basis for
an aristocracy founded on birth. But
they don't. The development of patriotism
seems to be more their aim than the
development of exclusiveness. Aristocracies
can hardly thrive without primogeniture,
and that we have not got and
do not want All things?and especially
the great increase in our wealth?considered,
we seem to stick remarkably
close to democratic ways and feelings.?

Work of the First Week

during any primary or any
other election day, under a penalty
of not more $100 or less $50 or 80
days improvement.
A bill to reduce the tag tax on fertilizers,
upon the ground that the

for fertilizers, and further that this
entire tax goes to Clemson College,
an amount far in excess of the
amount required to maintain this
