ARRANGING HYAcISTHs-A very sat
isfactory way, is to prepare a circular bed
say five feet in diameter. Set the bulbs
in circles, one color to circle, and the
bulbs about three inches apart Put the
reds in the outer circle, the whites in the
next, and the blues in the center. Such
. bed viewed across lawn, has a very
striking effect, far superior to mere me-
lange of sorts and colors. The ground
may be filled with ANNALS or bedding
plants, as soon as the foliage of the hya-
cinth decays.

WINE FROM GRAPES ONLY.=1tr the re-
cent session ofthe Illinois State Horti-
cultual Society, committee, to whom
was referred the consideration Of the expe-
diency and economy of making Wine
from Rhubarb or Pie Plant, recommended
that the juice of Grape alone be designa-
ted as wine, and that all liquors, the re-
suit of vegetable compounds, be known by
such namesas will not be likely to con-
found them with grape products.
CUCUMBER AND TOMATO SEEDs-These
seeds may be readily freed from the sur
rounding mucilage By allowing the fruit
to partially decay. If placed in heaps
and allowed to heat, the seed would be
injured. The best way is to place them
in box or tub and keep covered with
water until sufficiently dceayed to allow
the seeds to be washed clean.
To PREVENT OyER-REAcHISG.-S Ed
wards Todd, 10 the Boston Culticator,
after having tried the plan successfully,
recommends to hold up the head of the
oyer-reachipg horses with check rein
This, he says, throws the centre of CRAWL
ty of the animal further back, gives more
work for the hind legs to do, hence ther
are not thrown forward against the heels
Of the front shoes.
SEEps.-The best way to procure seeds
from the Agricultural Department at
is to make an application
through the Representative of your own
District, as the seeds are mainly dlstribut-
ID through the Members CT Congress.

CuRcULIo-A NEW REMEDY.--A. p.
Richardson, Norfolk Co., Mass, thinks
that his success in preventing the attacks
Of the curcuio is such as to warrant him
in suggesting his plan to others. As soon
as the trees blossom, their Trunks are sur
rounded by cotton saturated with kero-
sene oil. This is placed a foot or two
from the ground, and the oil is renewed
once or twice a week as long as the curca-
lilo continues to appear.

The Republicans in Opposition to the
Restoration of the Union. :.

At the late Republican State Convention
at Worcester, Massachusetts,, Hon George S.
Boutwell,, an officeholder under this Admin
istration. made a speech, in which he said
that for himself he was determined that by
no act of his no one of these seeded States,
or parts of States, should return to the UHion,
except as free States Tremendous cheers
greeted this ann ouncement.
Hon. Henry Wilson, the Senator, concurrea
entirely in the sentiment of the last speaker. He
knew that every effort would be made to
battle the policy of the Emancipation Procla-
nation. But the President has spoken for
himself, and be has declared that that proc
lamation can no more be recalled thar you
can call life to the dead. He was amazed
that any one in this country should expect
to save slavery, which has been the sole
cause of the war. ae never could forgive
slavery, and by the blessing of God he never
would forgive it. So long as slavery lives
it is hostile to the existence of the Republic.
A man can not be for the unity of the Re-
public and be for slavery.
That Is the fixed sentiment of the friends
of the acknowledgements to the res
toration of the Union! They are no moro in
favor of the restoration of the Union than
JEFF Davis, and the man who believes they
are, after such declarations, is fit subject
for lunatic asylum Gin. Eng.

BEHAv1oR.-After all ou1 lessons on nan-

BEHAvIoR.-After all ouI lessons on ri an
uers, in books and elsewhere, the best pos
sible manners are none at all. Quiet, re-
pose, self-possession mark the lady or gen.
tleman of perfect breeding. All fuss, all
fdgetness, all display is bad manners. The
manners of the Prince of Wales were con-
sidered perfect quiet and undemonstrative.
He made 10 mistakes, because he said and
did as little as possible. When he did not
know what to do. he did nothing.
A quiet, simple self possessed manner is
all that is necessary to pass anywhere. The
less you say, the more you are supposed to
know, and the less yon do. the more credit
you get for doing the right thing.
This is the whole science of department.,
according to the best modern usages. 1.

charged with having, while acting as Pro =

This seoundrel StrachaD, induced Mcneil
to issue the order by which ten men, against
whom no crime was charged, were sentenced
to be shot in cold blood. In this TRANSACT
ton Strachan got himself into serious
scrape. for which he has lately been indicted
by the Grand Jury of Marion county, Mo.
The following appear to be the facts, as
stated by some Of the best citizens Of Pal
myra. On the morning appointed for the
shooting of these ten men, the wife of one
of the men thus condemned to be shot, came
to Palmyra with six little children-calted
upon Strachan-told him her husband was
condemned to be shot that day, and that
these were her children; that if her husband
should be murdered she would be unable to
support the children, and begged the in
human wretch with big tears in hor eyes, to
release him from the sentence. Strachan
at first refused, but the poor woman's i'm
portunities were so persistent, that he finally
told her, if she would raise him $500 and
permit him to use her, he would release her
husband.
The heart-broken woman canvassed the
town of Palmyra, and found she could raise
the sum of money asked. Mr.. Revely, of
Lagrange, Mo-, furnished $500 Of the sum,
for which be holds Strachan's receipt. The
money was Notwithstanding pocketed it !
compelled the poor, heart broken afflicted |
woman to submit to his hellish lust, and re-
eased her husband. For this crime against |
God, against law, against all the nobler i'm
pulses and instincts of human nature, he has
been indicted by the Grand July of Marion
county. As soon as his loathsome carcass
IAN be had from the Court III artial at Saint
louis, he will be taken to Marion and be
ried, convicted and punished for the in
amous crime of rape, and a rape under the
most heart-rending, humiliating and ag-
ravated circumstances.

=, LINcoLN's BULLocKs.-The victims of
the transcription bill are now called 'Lin-
coins bullocks." In his letter to Governor
seymour Lincoln justifes his own unjust
and memorable enforcement of the conscrip
ton by declaring that JEFF. Davis forces the
men OF the south into his army 'as butchers
do bullocks in to slaughter pens.' Tberefore
he, Abraham Lincoln, has made up his mind
to do the same thing. The figure is entire
ly worthy of Lincoln and his cause. He is
forcing men, who were once free, into his
negro army as butchers force
bullocks into the slaughtsr-pen. 1t is
slaughter-pen, and the wretches who force
men into it are butchers. How lopgi o, how
long shall the people be butchered to glut
the helliSh rage of the abolitionists? How
long will the people allow themselves to be
30 ingloriously buIchered? How long will
they allow themselves to be slaugh tered like
bullocks.-OH Guard,
