HORTICULTURAL.

Monthly Session of the Society.

Lengthy Discussion of the Chinese Question.

Diversity of Opinion Among the members—A Very Interesting Session.

Memorials to Deceased member*, Corey '.Barbour and Kettle Hoorts Joab.

From Saturday'sDally.

Recess was taken for a most bountiful dinner which was discussed with much relish and mapy lest* and witticisms. Committee appointed to draft resolutions on the death of Mrs. Joab, reported through their chairman, Capt. Potter. At both ot the last meeting* it has been the sad duty of the society to perform this last office of respect for a beloved member. These resolutions will be published in full. Report on biid* by Teo dore Hulman. Tuis gentleman's reports are always interesting for he loves the feathered creatures and is familiar with all their habits. No birds or fowl will eat potato bugs as they have a bitter tacte and are poison. We do not take enough pains to protect and provide for our biros. We especially should encourage the blue-bird. Sunflowers attract red and yellow birds elderberries attract cat birch piles of brush will attract the thrush. Cats should be «hut up in June and July as they destroy the young birds. Whipporwills are getting very scarce for want of shelter. He counted ninety robbins one night recently. During February they kill and eat robins in Louisiana. Advised persons to plant evergreens and let them grow dense to attract and shelter birds. Capt. Potter suggested water as a great attraction as they bathe and drink so often. Quails were reported as being nearly all frozen. Several interesting anecdotes were related by different members.

The Horticultural Society met at Sugar Grove school house in the hall generally used for this purpose.

Report on flowers, by Mr. J. O. Jones, in which he paid a beautiful tribute to the hyacinth, violet, crocus, daffodil,anemone and several other Spring blossoms that come to bring us glad tidings of the ap proaching Summer. He advised !those who wanted handsome hyacinths to plant the bulbs deep in rich soil and cover as soon as the ground freezes when the first green leaves peep forth uncover simport the stalks of the flowers break off the seed pods as soon as they form but do not cut the leaves transplant the bulbs year ly.

Report on landscape gardening by 11. D. Scott: Landscape gardening is inseparable from refined tastes, and depends more upon the design than the pocket. On account of our laws there is not so much to incite landscape gardening as in foreign countries, because at a man's death his property was either divided or sold. Landscape gardening is separated in two divisions, smooth lawns and those diversified by trees, shrubbery, &c the nearest perfection is' the blending of the two. We associate our ideas of the happiness of people from their yards and premises.

No amount of landscape garden Can cover up an unsightly house. He read not long ago that in the early history of the States a man who owned a brick chimney was looked up to as a pattern of prosperity and thrift, sagacity and wisdom was judge and lawyer, and was declared a voter under the law that a man owning $^50 worth of property, or fifty dollars' worth of property and a brick chimney, should vote. That was probably the reason for putting them on the outside of the house.

Report on Cooking by Mrs. Schullz cleanliness the first essential let both the kitchen and cook be neat and clean thought it very important that flower should be sifted as packing destroyes the lightness and sifting restores it. Was surprised to see meat killed at night and eaten in the morning. In the old country meat was kept a certain time be fore eating. In selecting fish take those that are firm and thick, with bright scales and full* prominent eyes. Dress and cook them as soon as possible. In se lecting foul, try the breast-bone which indicates the age. In Geamany lobsters ars eaten in all months containing the letter "r."

A selection was read by Capt. Potter *bn the Chinese in America, by Rev Joseph Cook.

The debate on the question. ''Is it expedient and is it policy, based upon moral principles or political economy, for our governmet to ex elude the Chinese?" was opened by Rev. Abbey in a very clear and forcible speech to which it would be impossible to do justice in this abbreviated report. We give too much weight to the ques tion and take an interest in it out of pro portion to its importance. The policy of our country has always been, Come. We have welcomed emigrants from every clime they have developed our resources What has been the moral effect? Are we not Americans yet? Diplomats are sending here from foreign countries all they cannot manage we take them and assimilate them. If we have taken all these why is 6uch a hue and cry raised about a little handiull of Orientals, only fofrty or fifty thousand? More are leaving than coming. China has a population of four hundred millions, many on the point of starvation. Should they come in hordes they would destroy our country, but will they do thi6?

We have offered every inducement but -hn twenty years the proportion of immi "grants is remarkably small. The 'bix great companies cannot enjploy them as profitably they write their \f']friends not to come. China is introducing machinery which will^produce a revolution in Chinese labor and cau«e a season of prosperity. They will stay at home, that is their policy. What shall we do f.^with 'those already here? Who says

Vthey have got to go? The hoodlums who have no right here themsefves. The question is solving itsert. They do work nobody else will. Can't the great state of California take care of itself and not

the country, then sav "stop."' lis paid. We have mobbed them, Harvey D. Scott:* A long time ago and tar.ed and feathered them, and people protested against bringing negroes burned their houses and yet we complain

here, but they continued to come till they became an intolerable butden. Are the Chinese as bad as the negroes? There are'three great divisions of the human race :Caucasian, Mongolian and African. They nevercsn and never will assimilate. When you stir up barbarians they move in hordes. When they g«»t tv building ships, then you wi 1 see the Chinese come. People are beginning to prepare for th.* plague better prepare fot the Chinese.

Mr. A. B. Pegg thought this agitation unwise was surprised at Congress. Hayes did the best act of his life when he vetoed the bill. We ought not to proscribe one class and not another. Did not anticipate any danger, and considered that we need cheaper labor.

Mrs. Martyn, thought we should not prohibit Chinese immigration. Mrs. Warner Williams had nothing to say. Mrs. Hulman believed in prohibiting Chineve were different from all other foreigners

Mrs. Aydelolte: One word in our language expresses more than all others, the beautiful word—freedom. We have invited them to come, let us abide by our invitation. Mrs. Shultz, was a foreigner herself 'thought we tried a great deal harder to spread our evi's than the Chinese did theirs. We oueht to pass l«w* prohibiting the use of opium.

Mrs. Scott: Since they have come let us try to make them better. They are capable of being educated, and we should recognize them and do the best we can for them.

Mrs. Soule: Does not know but one guide, that is the Golden Rule. It applies to nations as well as individuals, the grace of God is all sufficient, and if we are strong in the right way, we need not fear.

Mrs. Pence thinks we have no legal right to exclude them is not certain about the moral. If they would bring their families she would not object to them. We ought to be strong enough to overcome their vices. It is a question to be decided by our grandchildren.

Mrs. Gilbert wasln favor of the Chinese thought they would rid the country of rats,

Mr. John Jackson: When we find them to be such annimals we can't controle them, shut them up. Having the blood of different nations in his veins he could not say they can't come. If Chinamen can't be taught our customs the Government made a mistake in the first place. Wait till we see danger ahead then wage war.

Mr. E. J. Brown, though there were two sides to every question. Had seen a great many Chinese. If we wait till they get numerous maybe we'll put them down and maybe we won't. Nations have been destoyed in thhis manner. Reflected upon Mr. Burlineame's motive So far as he could learn Chinese were the most immoral people on the earth Wanted people of all colors to have their rights but did not wish them about him.

Mrs. Schultz would place Chinpmen above tramps who will not work and yet are not driven out of the country.

Albert Kussner: As long as the U. S. has made a treaty %he ought to keep it, if this is impossible then compromise. As christians ought we not trv to civilize other nations. During 1S78 only one murder committed by a Chinaman. If they can live on one-third as [much as a white man he should receive only onethird of the wages. He was reproved for this opinion by Mrs. Pence who illustrated the question by applying it to piano tuning business.

Mr* J. O. Jones made a very earnest and effective speech on t'..e tubject. If we did no want the Chinese to come to our shores we should not have used the efforts we did to get them here. Their policy is isolatian. We have always desired the trade of Eastern nations. The We»Urn continent forced their commerce upon China, and weie much gratified at the treaty. The morality of the Chinese will compare favorably with those of other citizens in San Francisco. Why did Congrebs take this matter up 60 quickly? Because they are looking to the campaign of 1880, and the Pacific slope will turn the 6cale. Does not agree with Ha\es' Southern policy, but cordially endorses the veto of a bill which would have disgraced us. Modify the treaty, if necessary, first, as we would with other nations. The Chinese are an industrious people, leaders in "arts and sciences, and we are indebted to them. Every village is taking up contributions to the heathen, but trembling in their boots at fear ot few yellow men. Shall we be driven by unprincipled demagogues? The Chinese will not go. They will do as the negroes did—protect themselves by force of arms, and they ought to do it. Our people forced opium (the product of the Indies) upon the Chinese at the mouth of the cannon, and now we condemn them because they use it.

Mr, Hulman: If Bismarck should send over his Socialists we would object. When the Chinese find this a good country they will coine over in horde6. We have the South to contend with, the Mormans to keep in subjection. Coolies are ignorant, they are the lowest classes in China. All Chinamen are frugal and their frugal habits breed disease. They steal i«nd have no regard for Americans. They are immoral in every respect.

Mr. Potter defined the Burlingame Treaty. Chinamen are not ignorant, they are all able to read and write, and have an education equal to our common school system. Nine out of ten of our Iriah immigrants cannot read or w'it Their forms of government are excellent their morality, apart from that of the churches, will compare favorably with any of the inhabitants of San Francisco They have no drunkenness they never sell liquor. Why do they go into certain quarters? Because the municipal law tequires it, instigated by prejudice and jealousy. They do not bring their wives because they do not come to stay just as in the early days of California, miners did not take their wives to the far West. In 1875, wh-n he wag in San

till it

that they do not bring their wives and families. The Chinese have brought down wages which is a healthy sign. Are they filthy? God bless Ireland but Iri»h cabins do not smell any too sweet nor does German sour-krout. They will lear nour habits and bring their families in time. There did not use to be any fellowship between nations. We present .a new type of civilization,—the brotherhood of man. All our public institutions carrv out that idea. If you exclude Chinese on account of dissimilarity you destroy this principle. They have built our railroads they have worked our mines, they have increased our wealth and prosperity.

President Gilbert considers it a politcal question with two sides. Is in favor of a whitr race and does not wish to see it degraded. Chinese civilization is not ours believes in self preservation does not want to bring them here in order that we may benefit them. Does not want to fill up our western country but keep it for our childeren. Is it policy to bring the Chinamen here? It is not.

Closed by Rev. Abbey. Considers this a profitable question as it has brought out many interesting points. Chinese have certain elements in social life which we might profit by. Their domestic habits are gcod. They threw opium overboard and Britain demanded payment for it. When our country departs from its principles it will fall. There is a difference in complexion, but not in hearts. If they want to come in hordes, no law of ours will keep them out but they will not do it. Let them come, and we will civilize them, and everyone who comes will be an advantage to his country and our own.

Thus closed a profitable and entertaining discussion. Tne question for May will be: Should there be any modification of our Public School System?

Mis. Theodore Hulman was elected treasurer to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. Corey Barbour Society adjourned to meet in the same place, unless further ordered.

MEMORIAL.

COREY BARBOUR.

The following was adopted at the March meeting: We miss from our society meeting today, one of its most useful and influential members. He will no more meet with us here. His genial countenance will no more greet us at our mon.hly meetings. Little thought we or he, at our last meeting, only one mor.th ago, that his earthly labors were so soon to end. His voice and words which were ever listened to with interest and profit, will no more be heard in well written essays and reports nor in the discussion of questions tending to improve ourselves and benefit society in general. He had been a member almost from its first organization fourteen years ago. He waH seldom absent from one ofits meetings. He contribjted freely and liberally to its wants and to its social character. Mr. Corey Barbour died February 19, 1879, after a very short and severe sickness, having the'form of acute pneumonia. Only the week bclore he had given his attendance at the house of H. D. Scott, to arrange for horticul ural premiums for 1S79. He semed to be at that time in perfect health, and never in a more genial and pleasant mood. At that meeting he made the remark, that when he died he want cti r.thing more appropriate put upon his coffin than a bunch of wheat. Mr. Barbour was, undoubtedly, the most successlul wheat raiser in the county. His thought of wheat as an emblem may have been derived from* St. Paul's use of wheat—in 1 Cor. 15.— to illustrate the doctrine of the body after death. His age was 72.

Long had he toiled to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. But he did not toil in vain. He was successful beyond that of ordinary farmers. As a result he provided for himselt and family a first class home, and fron. his abundant means he contributed liberally to education and to the support of the church. He was not a memlW, but a very constant attendant on the Sabbath, at the Congrrgational church of T*erre Haute. It seems proper that we should, to-day, enter upon our records some expression of our esteem and sorrow for our deceased brother, and sympathy for hi6 afflicted wife and family.

Therefore resolved, 1 hat in the death of Mr. Corey Borbour, the society has lost a true and useful member, an intelligent and social companion, and one whose hand and voice was enlisted in doing good to his fellow man.

Resolved, That his industrious and practical life is worthy of being imitated by every one of us, and by all others similarly situated, and that we will ever cherish "his memory and deeds in our most sacred affections. Our sympathies are hereby extended to his sorely afflicted wite and family.

Resolved, lhat this paper and resolutions be engrossed with the minutes up on our records, and a copy sent to the afflicted family.

S. H. POTTER, H. D. SCOTT, J- O. JONES, S. S. MARTYN.

MRS. NETTIE BOORE JOAB. At the meeting of the Terre Haute Horticultural Society, April 3, 1879, the following memorial and resolutions were read and adopted:

MEMORIAL.

To-day the Terre Haute Horticultural Society isNdeprived of the presence of another of its useful and honored members.

Mrs. Nettie Boore Joab departed thi# life March 31st, 1879. She had been ill a year or more with that insidious disease which is always deceitful and gives hope of restoration even when death is near at hand. It was at our December meeting that Mrs. Joab read a paper full of interest, clothed in true Christian sentiments

Francisco, contractors were coming intoUnd wise suggestions touching the questhe city daily for laborers to help build tion, "What shall we do with our boys boys and girls?" and all who then heard her were painfully impressed with forebodings, which came to be realized only too soon. Possessing a high literary taste, a talent quite superior as an essayist and fo public reading, she took a livelv inter-

those difficult western railroads. The Chinese went, and the men who would not go are the very ones who want to drive away the Chinamen. Should business revive, there would be another cry for "Chinese cheap labor."

Rev. S. S- Martyn: It is said they lest and contributed her share of rich en

tcrtainmeot to all the meetings she was permitted to at'end. She was loved, and honored bv **very member, and it is meet and proper that we give to her memory a place in our records. Though now dead her example and her high toned Christian words will continue to inspire us onward in our duties at horticulturists. How shall we to day regard this voice, which has tpoken this second time unto us. It is the voice of our heavenly father which says to every on^ of us "what you have to do, either in words or work, clo quickly for your time too is near at hand

Resolved, That the Society feels deep lv this sad bereavement, and we can not but mourn her eaily departure from life here, and from the society of many friends, and more especially from the society and companionship of a beloved husband. To all the friends and familv of the deceased the society extends most hearty sympathy in the bereavement.

Resolved, That this paper and accompanying resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our meetings, and a copy sent to the afflicted family, and also furnished for publication in the city press.

S. H. POTTER.*
