The resuit sfths elections for Repre-.

the oheyslier Is already looking around
for a fresh corner ir the Republican Wig

ia allowing his, horn, most Justify. He .is
singing out that his name on the back oil

brought seventy thousand the other way.

competitors, though, they ale swearing
that,he has already been bought, paid for
and delivered, and upon closing up the
account, they find no has got more than
he Is worth. Just about this time feel.

We know the chevalier will not give us
proper credit for ii but we do protest D.
gainst his Republican friends showing him
of without even bone. If they did buy
him and pay for him, it was not for all
time. Politica. harlots in no wise differ
from Others of the kind, and if they want

So up with the chevalier once 'more.--.

A FLoRAL QUESTION. = Nobody ever yet
saw blue dahfia, or bluerose, or yellow
sster or verbena. Will such things ever
be seen? Some persons think so, ana for
eign florists are hard at wotk in hybrii iiz-
ing, hoping to accomplish it, but their
success is very doubtful. And for this
good reson, viz: Blue, red and yellow
sre the three primary colors, and the dir
ferent hues found in the varieties Of any
species of flower, are produced by crossing
flowers which have these different colors
Thus, the original colors of the vefbena
in a wild s,stewere red and blue; and by
crossing these we eau get shades of red,
blue and purple, but not ycllow. The wild
dahlias are red and yellow, and by cros-
sing them, we get shades of red, yellow
and orange. and white. but not blue So
tar rs our observation extends, no genus
of any flower contains all the primary
colors; hence. If the above theory be cor
rect, none of the varieties can monopolize
all the shades of color. One will lack
red, another blue, and so on: hence the
necessity Of com bining flowers of different
sorts, if we would get all shades of color.
Governor Banks position in connection
with the Illinois Central Railroad for the
purpose of assuming which he has gone to
Chicago to reside, is that Of resident iii
rector He represents the president and
directors, who are scattered over the coun-
try and Europe, and cannot attend to the
vast duties required of them from day, to
day this additional Office is found to be
necessary. He sits as, grand supervisor oi
of the entire business of the corporation
which is divided into departments like
the government ofa State, only more vast
and difficult than the government Of most
Of our States. Ifaquestion arises which
he declines to take the responsibility o.
settling, h can, if he chooses, submit i
to the next regular meeting Of the drec
tors. Governor Banks salary is to bs
$500 year; which is S4,500 more than
he received as Governor OF Massachu
eotts. r-- ~. ~ - -
