Rverureens for Winter.


o. A process has been discovered by
which beautiful show of evergreens
may be obtained for the parlor during
the winter. We give it for the benefit
of our lady readers, who are insepara-
bly, associated in our mind with flow
ers, and oil the beautiful objects on
earth: "If geranium branches, taken
from luxuriant and healthy trees, just
before the winter sets in, be cut as slips
md immersed in soap water, they will,
after dropping few days, put forth
fresh ones, and continue in the finest
vigor all winter. BY placing number
of bottles thus filled in flower basket,
with moss to conceal the bottle, a show
of evergreen is easily secured for the
winter. All the different varieties Of
the plant being used, the various shapes
and color of the leaves blend into 4
beautiful effect. Theyrequire no fresh
water"
The plan is simple, easily put into
practice, and is said to be successful.

paid ;t the time o. the agreement. If,
at the expiration Of the "option' time,
the price be the same as the "opton'
price, the person who has paid the
money has the right to buy, sell, OF
neither, as he thinks proper.
There are various other terms, but
their importance is secondary. Aglance,
however, at those we have given will
at once show the spirit which too large
Fly pervades stock exchange business,
viz: gambling. The, ebull" buys and
the "bears sells; II the price of the
shares in which both are dealing rises,
the s.bull' is not only 50 much in pocket,
but the "bear' is Obliged to buy to meet
his engagements, and thereby to aug
meat the price against himself and the
whole of his brother ''bears" at the same
time. In the same way the basis of
the whole proceeding in which, "put and
call" and "put" or "call" are brought
into operation, is altogether one Of
gambling. The chances, mixed with
what appears probability of q rise or
fall within a given time, are taken, and
on these the parties speculate. II both
are satisfied to continue the game, "con-
tango" and Decentralization" come into
play, and enable them to do 90 without
increasing the trouble Of commencing
tho transactions afresh'
But let 1t not be supposed that the
members of the Stock Exchange are in
all, or even the majority of cases, the
principals in such bargains; on the con
trary, it is the outside public, and how
often some Of these come to grief, the
records of bankruptcy show. The
brokers and jobbers are mere interme-
diaries between one section Of specula-
tors and another, and are certainly as
little, if not less, to be blamed than
those who employed them. Still the
evil of speculation, like all other evils,
has its attendant good. 1t is at the
present time all but essential to the
floating of any undertaking, however
excellent. 1t is pity that it should be
so, but if bona fde investors will not en-
bark in any scheme whose shares do not
carry premium, some one who knows
the concern must manufacture the pre-
MUM for them.

Fancy Reports.

e A Pittsburg (Pa.) paper is compelled
to apologize for publishing two speeches
of a Mr.. Weddell and Colonel Evans
which were never prepared or delivered.
The said journal excuses itself by say
ing its reporter had heard Colonel
Evans speak and Mr.. Weddell; he knew
what was to be expected from Them"
Not long since Mobile journal pub
ished a criticism on the performance
of an actor, when, as it afterwards APP
peared, the said actor had not shown
himself at the theater on the night in
question. Amusing occurrences of this
kind are constantly transporting with
tho New York press, whose reporters
not unfrequently prefer to draw upon
their imagination rather than put
themselves to the trouble Of tramp
A few years ago the Christians Intslliges-
Ger gave Ling and minute account of
the "water works celebration i'll Brook
lyn, naming the route of the procession
and the various streets through which
it had passed. The joke of the thing
was that the affair had not come off at
all, hut had been postponed for q week.
The Intellisescer had doubtless secured
n programme and thus wrote up the
celebration in advance. The Herald q
year or two ago published speech,
purporting to be delivered by Henry
Ward Beecher, at an uptown gather
ing, when the speaker not only did not
deliver his address, but was net pres
emit, having been kept away by illness.
Some years ago Tribune reporter
called down the wrath of Mr.. Greeley
and received his walking papers for re-
porting speech which he, Mr.. Greeley,
had not made. The Tribune philosopher
had been advertised to address ward
gathering of his followers. Being of an
indolent disposition, the reporter did
not attend the meeting, but wrote up
All account Of it in the Office, giving a
re,wme Of Mr.. Greeley's remarks. I'm
fortunately, however, for him, Horace
was not present, aud the gathering dis
persed before being called to order.
Our city reporters are many Of them very
fond of drawing on their imagination,
and close watch has to be kept over
them by the managing editor.

The Technical Terms Of the stsek
Exchange.

To the uninitiated, some of the terms
used ON the stock exchange would ap-
near little better than echoes from Ba-
bel. "Bulls" and "bears," "consols" and
"scrip," "ccntango" and 'backwardiza-
tions," "options" and "omniums," and
a host Of others, would strike his ear,
either conveying no meaning at all, OF
one ludicrously different from that in
tended to be conveyed. As many, how
ever, are interested in knowing what
the like means, it will scarcely be con-
sidered out of our province if we en-
deavor to enlighten them.
"Consolsn is an abreviation of the
term consolidated annuities, which date
their origin from the year 175l, and bear
at the present time three per cent. in
terest. "Scrip" is analogously con,
traction of subscription" and is applied
to the stocks given in exchange for
loan, reduced scrip, consol scrip, &c
"Omnium" is the term by which the
whole of the stock Of which Govern.
ment loau consists is designated. A
''bullr is one who buys in the expecta'
ton of being able to sell again at q
higher price, and "bear" is, converse
ly, one who sells in the hope Of bring
ing down prices, and of the delivering
what he has sold by purchases made at
q cheaper rate-in other words, the bull
speculates for rise and the bear for q
fall. A "stag," or, as he is sometime'
called, an ''outsider," is onewho is not
. member of the stock exchange, but
deals outside, and trafics in letters Of
allotment obtained under fictitious
names. i" Contangor expresses the
amount paid per share or per cent
+whieha buyer pays to a seller for carry
ing over the shares from one account to
another; /. e., for period longer than
they were originally bought for. "Back,
wardization" expresses the converse
l. G., the sum which seller pays for not
being obliged to deliver the shares al
the time before agreed upon, but carry
them over to the following account. In
English and foreign stocks and shares
the settling days are twice in every
month, the middle and the end; and the
consols only once, from about the 9th te
the 11tb.
"Options' are resorted to in nearly
every kind of shares, and might be used
in all. They consist in either what il
called PUT and CALL" or "put" OIL
call" A "put and call" is when .
person agrees to give q certain sum fol
the choice of buying or selling certain
amount of stock at o certain time, tbs
price and date being then and there
fixed. A "putn is where, the money il

TT Is AT ALL TIMES BECOMING AND
ii dutiful in q Christian people to acknowledge
dependence on the Almighty Father Of us all,
and to express gratitude for his mercies; for
the people whom He hath chosen for an inherit
ance." No season has ever brought to our peo-
ple more abundant cause for gratitude than that
now drawing to close. The "pestilence that
walketh in darkness and "wasteth at MONDAY,
while it hath visited other States and cities, has
been mercifully stayed from our own; and un.
usual health has prevailed within our boundaries.
The shadows that have darkened our national
domain are disappearing, and an era OF unpar-
allelcd progress prosperity and happiness seems
to be dawning on the country. In all the walks
Of life, In all the channels of commerce, and in
oil the fields of production, there are signs OF re.
awakening hopefulness and industry, and OF re-
inyigorated energy, which promise brightly for
the future. Nor have We alone the material
comforts, health, plenty and peace, TO be CRATE
full for. We have also TO thank our Divine Ben.
efactOr for higher rewards and triumphs in art,
in science, and in the intellectual, ethical and
moral culture, and consequent elevation OF the
people, and in the establishment Of popular
Government on such firm foundations rs will
endure, let us trust, forever.

of gratitude to Him who holds the nations in

kindness in the midst Of His temples remeni:
bering, too, in our abundance, the needy and

favor.
