Tnis is the title of a very clever satire on
the prevailing epidemic in favor of the ne
gro, got up in the form of the report of a
trial. 1t is well written, full of fun and
contains some fine points and sharp hits
Inc portraits are well drawn and will be
recognized in an instant. Whoever the tai
ented author is, he understands the subject
ne Is treating on most thoroughly, and
shows up the fallacy of negro equality in
most ridiculous and laughable light. We
advise our readers to purchase copy and
set themselves down to hearty laugh

nothing so attractive as flowers, and we
are glad to see our citizens paying so much
attention to their cultivation. Flowers, it
seems to us, represent the bright and beau
tiful thoughts of the human mind. No
really bad man ever loved flowers, or aided
in their propagation and growth. The city
of Columbus is far beyond any of its sis
ters In the attention it pays to this matter.
Our citizens are not selfish in their enjoy
ment, either. They do not build high
fences around their flower gardens to shut
the beauties they display from common
sight. Not they. They even go so far as
to raise them on the public streets, where
all may pluck them who wish.
Many time when weary with our days
healthy sleep, has our nasal protuberance
been RECALLED with delicious whiff of the
fragrant dog fennel growing so luxurious
ly on the street. 1t is a sweet perfume,
and we wonder some enterprising chemist
and perfumer has not added it to his list of
extracts. If, when the dew is on, the smell
of dog fennel is too powerful, few steps
will take you to where the delightful odor
of jimpsom weed can be almost tasted, it
is SO strong. But our best efforts
as horticulturalists are directed in
the thistle line. AS raisists of Canadian
thistle, the citizens of Columbus are with
out equals in the world. Not street but
you find it blooming in beauty. Not va
cant lot but where its wonderfully armed
leaves may be seen. 1t is very hardy, re-
quires no care, will grow when everything
else will die, and is just what is needed tor
city decoration. If there be any squares
where this delightful flower is not grow
ing, we recommend its immediate intro
duction. Sow the seed once, and you are
all right. 1t will flourish finely.
Our city now needs but liberal policy
in regard to planting burdock to be perfect
in floral treasures. 1t is not as fragrant as
the lovely dog-fennel, nor as beautiful as
jimpsom, but is equally hardy with the
thistle. Give it chance, also, you florists
of Columbus, who are so careful not to
have one of these other plants destroyed.
Show no partiality in this particular. Ifl
we must have flowers of these varieties,
let us have them all.
