PEACH ON PLUM.-The Horticulturist says
wherever the peach does not succeed well,
planted upon its roots, because of the soil
being too stiff, clayey or wet, it will be
found that if the peach be budded on the
plum it will thrive well, and give good
crops Of fruit, and, at the same time give
to the tree more hardihood to endure OK.

HIGHLY INTERCHANGEABLE his letter to Hon I. n
Norris written on the goth of January 1864, Gen.
Grant says:
In your letter you say that have it in my power
to be the next President This is the last thing in the
world l desire. | would regard such contamination
as being highly unfortunate for myself if not for the
country"
This is certainly an honest and candid confession
And we opine the people will agree with Gen. Grant
that his election to the Presidency would be 'thghly
unfortunate" both for himself and the country and as
it is the last thing in the world he Desires they will
comply with his wishes and allow him to remain in his
present position as General of the Army-a position
which, he says in the letter. he infinitely pre-
fers to that of any civil Office within the gift of the
people" BY all means let carry out Gen Grants
wishes! INDIANAPOLIS Sentinel

The Paris Fashions.

We COPY as follows from the Paris correspondence
of the New York Herald
The most poetical of toilets are worn, and must
say that many meet with my full appreciation. The
striped materials for instance underskrts made OF
green and white nave and white, blue and white mus
lin or foulard striped alternately. The green and
white are the prettiest. The oFerskirts to these
ounced petticoats are of the material and shade
with much strip pes. The pelerlne frnged
round and raised up the centre OF the back where
the folds are stopped, not by rosee, when Is very
heavy but an elegant satin bow On the back OF the
waist behind comes sheaf Of ribbon and sash ends to
match the green stripe. The overskrt is raised on
each side and frilled round ~as.ssz -
Another very favorte stripe is the buttercup and
white under black lace overskirt Topped above with
corsage like the underskirt, and black lace fcbu
crossed behind elegantly looped bow like the
bodice.
There is an immense variety in the fcbu style some
have ends only others square frilled ends; some
mantllas scarfs in front and fcbus behind but
when not made Of lace or point, with satin crosscus
aud fringe, they always OF the same material as
the dress Bonnets are lovely, too All garlands The
new thing informed your readers in my last cor
respondence is fruit but there has, since my last let
ter appeared another novelty to the arrangement OF
flowers on anchons. rose wreath, for instance, is
made of full roses the top for the diadem, thence
they gradually lessen is size and come down quite to
trail Of buds among the folds of drapery under the
chin While rice straw fanchons, with nothing but a
silver drab scarf, trimmed with blonde of the same
shade and garland Of taperng mignonette (reseda)
make elegant head dresses for driving.
Walking bonnes are puffs fanchons, but the for
mer are too dressy for usefs purposes Straw with
dadems of wheat spears very high, quite Ia Ceres,
are suitable with everything the field flowers intro
duced among the corn and barley match all materials
and shades.
But word to the wise about panniers again.
They Drawing every denunciation from fashion
writers, the clergy, patermilias and my own. I am
truly grieved and feel like Canute, who when he told
the waves of the to roll back knew they would
not. The panniers are invading every inch of that
part of female anatomy which makes up all the differ
ence between fine figure and defective one. The
clergy said, opposed to panniers, and herein
they logical. They will have to make victims of
men by marrying them to brides simple SUPPOSE
ton that they without deformity, and without the
slightest optical demonstration of the fact. What
concealment there will be under panniers! The
toms greatly agitated for where is the visible
opening to the novel receptacles?
Therefore do appeal to the wise in th name of an
important section of society Let their panniers be
combined to avoid undue deformity even in the
minds of the clergy and the customs not deprived of
the only pleasure they enjoy earth, that of
examining into the very depths of bundles.

Return.
From the Mobile Sunday Times:

From the Mobile Sunday Times:
Oh! return to my side, worshiped star of my heart
Ali the days are drear since thy features have fed
| can bear every trial of life where thou art,
Where thou art not sunshine brighten my head
We have dwelt like the Greeks in that famed little Isle
Where the commonest fuel is lavender and thyme;
Fragrant cypress and cedar the senses beguile,
And the smoke, odor weighed lends charm to the
cline. -
We consumed the sweet spice wood of love every day,
And we fed on the dream haunted lilies of Nile;
But their fragrance, in ashes, is drifting away,
With the sound oft thy lip and the light of thy smile.
Thou hast fingered too long, hasten back, hasten back
Every time the shr steam ceaves the heart of these
hills,
Do thy gay children spring on the iron bound track
And my own beating heart bursts in tremuous rills.
Hasten back to the redolent cline of my soul,
Where for thee costly cassa and terebinth burn
All the wealth could win from the wars wild control
Hasten back TO my side, precious darling, return!

The Flying MAN.-At the recent meeting of the
Aeronautical Society, it was announced by Mr. Wen
ham, that one of the members of the society, Mr..
Spencer had already constructed apparatus by the
aid of which he had accomplished the feat of raising
himself from the ground level and performing hort
zonta flight of sixty feet and further stated by
Mr.. Wenham that Mr.. Spencer expected to fly the
length of the Crystal Palace during the meeting of the
Aeronautcal Society to be held there next month
Since the above announcement was made we have re-
ratus employed by him 1t consists of pair of wings
worked by the arms, and a large fan-shaped tail of
very light construction, connected to the body by bas
ket work, that it stands at angle of about three
degrees with the horizontal. Mr. Spencer does not
profess to fly in the ordinary sense of the term. He
uses his apparatus by taking Short quick run, this
run being continued until, by pressure of the air
against the under surface of the TAIL he is raised from
the ground He then, by using the wings, maintains
the momentum which he has acquired as long as pos
sible, and thus enabled to skim along at short dis
lance above the ground. Mr.. Spencer commenced
his operations by practicing long jumps without the
aid of the apparatus, and he then commenced using
the wings, and finally added the tail By continued
practice, and from time to time making alterations in
his apparatus Mr. Spencer has been enabled extend
considerably his early flights or SKINS and were
informed by him few days ago that he had lately &C.
complished flight Of $50 feet starting and alighng
at the ground level Hr. Spencer is now engaged in
completing new apparatus, which he hopes to finish
in time for the exhibition of the Aeronautica Society
at the Crystal Palace, and look forward with some
interest to witness its performance.
