Maryland had in her public libraries

we find these Brick Pomeroys. of the

while they covertly endeavor to revive

inflicted on the country, as true princi-

FLOWERS AND VKGETABLBs.-Suc-
cess in Horticulture and Horticulture
depends in great measure upon hav-
ing good seed, and having them in
season to put into the ground as soon
as the weather is fit for planting. And
as many of our readers we are sure
have not yet laid in their seeds for next
spring, we refer them to the Illustra-
ted Catalogue Of seeds and Floral
Guide for 1859" published by James
Wick, the celebrated florist, Of Roches-
ter, n. Y. 1t is work Of 100 pages,
beautifully illustrated with q colored
plate, and $50 fine wood engravings of
flowers and vegetables, and contains
full directions for their cultivation; and
also complete list of the various seeds
for sale by Mr.. Wick, with their price
by the pound, ounce or package. Mr..
Vicks' patrons oil speak of him in the
highest terms, and those who wish a
complete "Guide ITO the cultivation of
flowers and vegetables and an assert
ment of genuine fresh seeds will do
well to send ten cents by mailto James
Wick, Rochester N. Y, for a copy of
his catalogue, and then to make selec-
ton from it, and write to him to fill the
order from his extensive warehouse.

When Mr. Bernal Osborn, candi-

The Lecture, on Thursday evening last,
delivered at the Odd Fellows Hall, by A.
A. Willis, DID,, ON "Sunshine the Secret
of Happiness, was one Of the most bril-
liant and interesting of the season. The
Hall was well filled, and every one enjoyed
the hour devoted to profit and pleasure
The speaker dispensed with the customary
paper of the lecturer, and hence his dis
course had all the freshness and sprightli-
ness Of an extempore speech. The long
faced piety which robes religion in the dark
pail, was terribly ridiculed, and the consti-
tutional grumbler and Pharisee held up to
the audience as the greatest enemies to
happiness ON earth. The speakers style
is one Of the most happy that could be
chosen for the lecture-room, and while the
discourse dealt in the most grave and I'M
portant truths which interest the present
and future welfare of every individual, it
fairly sparkled with wit and humor, abound
ing in anecdotes, which were told with so
much point that the house was often con-
vulsed with laughter.
On Friday evening next, Mr.. Vandenhofi
will conclude the course with Readings,
which we feel sure no one will fail to hear
who can appreciate and enjoy this difficult
and very rare accomplishment. Mr.. VAN
denhoff is classed as one of the best among
the few good readers of the country. We
can safely promise every one rare intel
lectual enjoyment who visits the Hall on
Friday evening next.

kilograms from Augusta, Maine, say
that the Senatorial contest is only fairly
opened. Mr.. Morrill's friends demanded
another caucus, claiming that there has
been no nomination, and Mr.. Hamlin will
not consent. Mr.. Morrill, is confident that
he can be elected by the Legislature, and
Mr.. Hamlin is just as confident.
"A number Of leading Republicans OF
Virginia, as an offset to the operations of

they favor reconstruction by voting for it
in the coming election.

uNo countryman need be known by
his dress. There are marks Of his calling
which are honorable and becoming. His
bronzed face and stout brawny arms and
work-hardened hands, mark him as a true
son Of the soil and no lazy sluggard, and
3d. are an honor to him. But why he should
dress in such way that the very boys in
the streets are tempted to holler Country"
at him, is beyond our comprehension. He
knows what's nice and what isn't, as well
rs any man, but seems to think that on
account Of expense or some other reason
that these things are not for him. That's

GENERAL GRANT AND HIS CABINET.

A Washington letter to the New York
Times has the following concerning Gener-
al Grant and his Cabinet:
1t is the universal remark that no one
can remember a similar time in the history
of incoming administrations when the COM
mencement of its official functions was so
near and yet SO little known concerning
the persona! of the new Government
General Grant is proving to be ga remark
able receptacle of information" said a
prominent officer the other day "he drinks
it all in, but vouchsafes never a word in
reply to indicate the decision of his mind"
Yet" continued the same person, who
has had much conversation with General
Grant, 81 have no doubt but that he has
his decision generally made up, and the
men for the Cabinet fixed upon, subject to
such changes as new information and ma
turer consideration may suggest" The
source of this utterance is such as to give
it much weight, but as cannot reveal it,
your readers will have to take my word for
it. General Grant does not discuss names
for the Cabinet with his callers. With
those who have right to talk ON the sub
Ject he discusses principles and ideas which
should govern the selection of the men,
He has said, believe, that in selecting
Cabinet he would be governed by the same
consideration which governed him in
selecting his Staff and his Generals, to wit
Their entire fitness for the work they had
to perform. Avery plain and simple prop
osition, truly but one which, if acted upon,
will work great reform in the Govern
ment. While General Grant is thus max
ing up his own conclusion, it is both inter-
esting and amusing to watch the indica-
tions. l have i'll my mind at least half
dozen gentlemen who think their chances
OF "being struck by lightning - which
is the favorite illustration here of the
chances for the Cabinet-are excellent;
and know one or two who take great de-
light in telling their most confidential
friends that they feel perfectly certain that
they are fixed upon by the looming man.
1t has been suggested, in view of the fire.
quent premature publications by the press
of important matters that if the Cabinet
announcement gets out before it's time, it
will be easy to fix the responsibility Cen
eral Grant being the only person who knows
anything about it.

A correspondent Of the Wilmington
Commercial writes that he has heard
of there being numerous cases Of scar
let fever in Wilmington, this winter
4" We lost two dear and promising chill
dren by it, years ago, and my heart yet
sinks within me at the mention of it
The disease has been in the families of
some of our neighbors this fall. One
family had seven children sick with it..
All passed through without apparent
injury to their constitutions except the
first. All the others were, by direction
ofthe physician, creased with fat bacon
over their entire surface, and came
through safely. The remedy may be
we'll known, but some physicians object
to what they term "old woman's
cures" have reason to believe that
such treatment might have saved my
own children; hence I am anxious that
it should be known to ALL"
