nurseries, that 1t is an object Of persons b

he can very easily multiply them to any

from the Prairie Farmer contains hints

It Is well understood by those who have
had experience In propagating, that to in.
sure success the bottom heat of tile bed
should be 10 TO 10 degrees higher than the
atmosphere to which the tops are exposed ;
the former varying from go to 66 and the
latter about 80 degrees, win be found suit
able for roses and softwooded plants.
This can be attained by placing the
frame In location where 1t will be shaded
from the suns rays In the South and West,
thereby obViatiDg the necessity Of shading
during the heat Of the day, and exposing
the cuttings TO the uniform and sufficient
amount Of light besides the more easily
insuring a low surface of temperature. II,
before placing the sand in the bed, a cover
ing Of sod Is laid on with the grass side
down, 1t will preserve the heat for greater
length of time, besides preventing an ex.
cess from reaching the cuttings. In this
way not only roses, but carnations and
such plants as may be required for bloom
ing during the winter months, may be
rooted with success. In selecting cuttings
of roses the blind shoots, or those which
have not formed flower buds, win be found
to make the surest cuttings even the
small ones, not more than aninch In length,
may be used. Cuttings of half ripe wood
my be used with success.

awakened affections TO the amount Of
$1,000 From the statement Of the

Charles Ockford, Of this city, the go:
hour skater, has conceived the idea.of
making the perilous PASSAGE over the
Falls of Niagara in an sIDdiErubber
life.bOatfof peculiar construction. A
few weeks ago the ,ides suggested itsell
to his mind, and, upon communicating
| littoqsome eastern gentlemen, IT was
proposed by them that Q purse OF $3O,-
600 be raised to induce him to make
the undertaking. He accordingly per-
fected his scheme, and the contract for
building the boat has been let to the
Goodyesr Rubber Company for 81, 900
The boat will be an oblong, with q
mean diameter Of eight feet Six inches
thick at the top and sides and three
feet thick at the BOTTOM A shaft OF
the same material will extend from side
Ito side, in the center, on'which will be
lswnng on pivot, q seat, TO which the
adventurous occupant will be fastened
fOpening at the top will be an aperture
sufficiently, large for him to get inside,
latter which il will be filled with air and
closed up. Il is calculated that suiil-
cient air can be retained to sustain life
about twenty minutes. A small cable
Il will be attached TO the bah by which
it will be towed after the descent shall
have been made, for which purpose
parties will be stationed in boats imme'
diately below the falls. rt''
The model Of this novel craft IS now
in this city, and there is no doubt that
the attempt to carry this startling pro-
liect into execution will be made during
| the present season. Mr., Ockford IL

but the chances cettaiHIy look dubious
Should he succeed, Sidney Doty, o.

SlilAvaIa R,Ia0ette.

Some one of our Ghesterfeldiap ex
changes has the following on sidewalk eh-
quette, which we commend the attention
of our readers l.,' .,r
SONY villagers, or persons with rural
ideas, any longer contend that ladies should
always be given the inside Of the pavement
in passing. The rule adopted in all cities is
to turn to the right, whether the right leads
to the walllo to the gutter and an OBJ
servance of this common sense rule would
Obviate much unpleasant "scrouging" by
Over-gallant gentlemen who persistently
crowd for the outside of the walk. An
other common custom, not required by
fashionable etiquette, and one which ls as
nearly as inexplainably absurd, Is The prac-
tice Of men filing opt Of church pew,
making themselves as ridiculous 90 an
'awkward squad" practicing catch step,
in order to give a woman the wrong end Of
the peW.-.Another is thato q man, when
at promenade or walk with lady, to keep
himself on the outside Of the pavement. A
little exercise Of Judgment win convince
any person Of the perfect uselessness of
this bobbing back, and, forth at, every cor
ner. The common rule is this If men
and women are walking together, she
should alvays'be at his right arm, whether
itbe toEardS the Inside or outside of The
walk then the woman will not be showed
against The spasseFs.. Those who -giggle at
persons who fallow this rule are themselves
the;t'greenies, "andishOnld read the book
Of manners before they indulge In the

A CORRESPONDENT of the Steuben
Courier, writing from Hartsville, New
York, gives the following facts:
"a young man became attached to Q
young and beautiful damsel, who died
before their intended marriage could
be consummsted. He then married
the mother OF the deceased, who was
some twenty years his senior, but with
whom he lived quite happily until she
was eighty, and he sixty years Of age.
As the wife had by this time become
quite decrepid, they adopted o maid Of
some thirty summers, who had lived
with them a year and q half, when the
old lady died. Before the time ap.
pointed for the funeral the man him.
self was taken sick, on which account
the funeral services were postponed
four weeks. But in less than two
weeks he sent for justice Of the peace
and was married to the maid he had
adopted. The next day the couple sp-
piled TO the town for support, and a
week later the man himself died, his
funeral being attended before that OF
his first wife, and the woman he had SO
recently married being the only mourn.

Narr0w Esehne Of n fsomnambulist,

From the Jersey City Times May 2l ]
A lady residing at 25 Erie street had
a narrow escape, last Monday night,
from an accident which would, no
doubt, have proved fatal to herself and
to her little child who was sleeping in
the room, had not watchfnl ProVi-
dence prevented it. In a state OF SOM
nambuhsm, she arose at about the hour
when graveyards are said to beyawning
etc., and commented to. fill with keto-
sene oil the lamp which stood upon the
table in her room. In undertaking this
she was obliged to open the door of
the room where she was sleeping,
passr cut through another room and
open the door of that which led into
the hall. This door had been purposely
locked by herself while awake in the
evening to prevent any serious con-
sequences from the fits to which she
was subject. After unlocking this
door, she passed through hall to q
closet, and opening the door Of that
took out can of oil and returned with
it to her own room. Here she vent to
work to fill the lamp, and, taking of the
chimney and cap, poured in the oil.
Then she proceeded, to light it, and
forgetful that the wick was not yet re-
placed, she struck match and held it
blazing over the explosive oil. Instead
of touching the oil with it, however, as
she had evidently intended, she delib.
eratsly dropped the blazing match on
the carpet. She then awoke, and was
greatly surprised to 6nd herself in the
situation she was in. With tbe match
blazing upon the floor. She reinem-
bered distinctly the circumstance of her
strange adventure and most miraculous
escape, and resolved, doubtless, not to
test the .watchfulness OF Providence
again by leaving dangerous substances
within her rpaph .
