the route by rejecting the resolution offered
BY Miles aylor, which proposed to leave that
question open TO be determined by capital
and enterprise. They then discussed the
proposition OF Mr.. Curtis for road on the

posite the Western boundary Of Missouri and
Iowa, with two converging lines bearing
westward, and uniting within 200 miles OF
the Missouri river, and then proceeding BY q
single trunk line to the Bay Of San Fran
cisco, or the navigable waters OF the SAera-
men,o; and that OF Mr.. Phelps for a road by
the 35th parallel. Then adjourned till
Thursday.

which are in the service Of Jnarsz, and were

The Color OF Flowers Promoted b,
Charcoal.

The Color OF Flowers Promoted by
Charcoal.
A French amateur, in the Paris Herticul-
tural Review states:
About q year ago, | made bargain for .
rose bush OF magnificent growth, and full OF
buds. waited for them to bloom, and ex-
pected roses worthy of such q noble plant,
and of the praise bestowed upon it by the
vender. At length, when it bloomed, all my
hopes were blasted. The flowers were OF q
faded color, and discovered that had only
midling mssltiforay stale. colored enough.
|, therefore, resolved to sacrifice it to some
experiments which | had in view. My at
tention had been captivated with the effects
OF charcoal, as stated in some English pub
locations. then covered the earth lin the
pot In which my rose-bush wasl about half
an inch deep with pulveraed charcoal. Some
days after, was astonished to see the roses
which bloomed, of as fine lively rose color
as eeuld wish. determined TO repeat the
experiments and, therefore, when the rose
bush had done towering, | took of the char
coal and put fresh earth on the pot. You
may conceive that waited for the next spring
impatiently to see the result OF this expert
ment. When IL bloomed, the roses were, as
at first, pale and discolored but by applying
the charcoal as before, they soon resumed
their rosy-red color. | tried the powdered
charcoal likewise in large quantities upon
my petunias, and found that both the white
and the violet flowers were equally sensible
to its action. 1t always gave great vigor to
the red or violet colors OF the flowers, and
the white petunias became veined with red
or violet tints. The violets (colors) became
covered with irregular spots of blush or
almost black tint. Many persons who ad-
mired them thought they were new varieties
from seed. Yellow flowers are, as have
proved, insensible to the influence OF the
charcoal.-[Cottage Gardener.
