How to Make Cuttings Grow.

Tn alluding to the manner of propogating cuttings, the Ner EagiaHd Fdrmer says that it has been ascertained that cutting will de- velop roots much sooner in moist sand than in rich soil But the sand cannot maintain
 it's growth for any length of time. To pre- pare pots for raising cuttings they should be filled nearly to the brin with rich garden loam-dark and porous, not clayey and soggy; then pour in one inch in depth of securing sand-sea sand will do as well as the yellow sand. Wet this thoroughly, and place the cuttings, from which all but the three or four upper leaves have been removed, close to the side of the pot; the contact of the ware against the stem of the cutting pro notes its growth. Press the wet sand firmly around the tiny stem. Agreat deal of your chance for success in raising slips or cuttings depends upon this. Plant as many cuttings as the pot will hold, from six to a dozen, ac- cording to the size of your pot; when they are firmly set in the sand two or three can be inserted in the middle of the pot. Set them away in dark, warm place lof twenty four or thirty-six hours. Thus, cuttings will grow quickly in hot bed, because the tem- perature is not dry Their growth depends a great deal upon light, heat and moisture. | IT bud is close at the base of cutting it will strike root more easily-is not so apt to decay. The roots shoot from bud, and the lower down it is the surer your success
 When the leaves drop, the plant is commenc- ing to grow if they wither on the stem, ii has begun to decay. By following these di- rections no one can fail to grow all kinds of house plants. Roses and all the rarest flow CTS of the green houses are propagated in | this manner.

CHIEF JUSTICE CoLE, of Iowa, in a recent lecture delivered before the Murray Literary Association of Des Moines, gave an interest ing account of the use of the ballot The ballot, he said, as now used, is of compara- lively modern origin, although the practice from which it derives its name is of very re- spectable antiquity. It was originally taken from the use of balls and pebbles cast into a box for the purpose of deciding anything. In Athens it was the usual mode of deter mining questions in the assemblies of the people. Afterwards beans were used instead of balls and pebbles. The mode of decision was by the deposit of white and black stones or beans in boxes; the white being an affirm atise, and the black negative. The ballot was also used in the courts-in criminal cases the white indicated innocense; the black, guilt. In civil cases the white was for the plaintiff, the black for the defendant. After the white and black beans came to be used corrupt judges were called "bean eaters ' This method of deciding questions, the speak. CT said, was first introduced into Rome fog the election of magistrates by the Gebians law, B. c. l39; for State trials, treason ex cepted, by the Csssia law, B. c. l37 for tn, legislative assembly, by the Popina law, B c. 13l. It was likewise used in the Repub | lie of Venice.

How to Raise Broom Corn.

This is a subject which is attracting much attention at the present time, and many ln- quiries in relation thereto are being made
 In planting it is best to select that which is free from foreign substances, and those who have been long in the business give their preference, as a matter of profit, to the dwarf The standards known as the Shanghae and the York. says correspondent of the Ues- tern Rural, are inferior qualities, az they are badly mixed with imphee or sugar cane. The bush is very coarse and crooked, and does not bring as much in the market as the dwarf by from two 10 five cents per pound. A loose, rich soil is the best for the dwarf bottom lands are preferable, if not too wet it is better tO have the land too dry than too wet. It grows from five to six feet high, with a root than runs two or three feetsleep in the ground. Plow deep, and get in best possible condition. Mark the land in rows three feet or more apart. Set common hand planter to plant twelve seeds to the hill and plant nineteen to twenty inches apart (In some localities the seed is never planted in hills, but in continuous rows or drills, and two quarts of seed are sufficient 10 plant ar acre, with a seed planter.)

TOOTH POWDERS are injurious both to the enamel and the gums, and if employed, every particle of them should be removed from the mouth by careful rinsing The habit which some women have of using bit of lemon, though it may whiten the teeth and give temporary firmness and color to the gums, is fatal to the enamel, as are all acids No one, young or old, should turn the jaws into nut crackers, and it is dangerous even for women to bite of, as they often do, the ends of the thread in sewing. It is not safe to bring very hot food or drink, especially if immedi- ately followed by anything cold, in contact with the teeth.

 Many stains will yield to good washing in pure, soft, warm water. Alcohol will remove almost any discoloration.

THE DARIEN SHIP CANAL.

What President Juarez Thinks of the Project.
= A significant incident in come ction with the
project for the construction of ship canal
across the 1sthmus of Darien occurred at the
banquet which accompanied or followed the
grand ball given at the Teatro Nacional, in the
city of Mexico, in honor of the Hon. William III.
Seward, by the Mexican Government, just pre-
vious to the departure of our eX-Premier from
that capital
Senior Valasquez of Monterey, the President
of Congress for that month, had made most
enthusiastic speech in honor of Mr.. Seward. and
in response the latter called his attention to two
facts in the history of Europe and America
within the last ten years, viz.:-that the En-
peror of France had well-marked and dis
tinctive foreign policy, and domestic policy,
both OF which were Imperial and European.
The first showed itself in the form of an inter-
vention in the affairs of America, and an attempt
to establish as preliminary an empire in Mexico;
and the second in the furtherance of the project
for the completion of the Suez Canal through
the Egyptian peninsula which separates the
Mediterranean from the Red Sea. On the other
hand the United States have policy in regard
to Mexico, and foreign policy as distinctly
marked, and altogether American, which
shows itself in maintaining the independence
of the sister Republic and the construction of
ship canal across the Isthmus of Darieu, which
separates the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Mr..
Seward said the Colombian Congress hestates
and stumbles. Secure for us, MIR. President,
n resolution of the Congress of Mexico recon-
mending the Colombian Congress to ratify the
treaty tor the construction of ship canal across
the Isthmus of Darien, which has already been
negotiated between the two Governments, aud
am sure that the Congress of Colombia could not
resist the friendly appeal.
Senor Velasquez replied that he could not an
swer for the Mexican Congress as body. 1t
must speak for ITSELF in its free and sovereign
capacity, but he would cheerfully pledge his
own personal support of such a measure.
President Juarez then arose, and in brief
speech set forth the merits of the project
pronouncing it the great work of republican
America and of modern civilization. For his own
ae
Mr.. Seward, as we'll as himself, might live to see
the noble work accomplished. Thereupon all
the guests at the table, large number of whom
up and made the hall ring with enthusiastic uicaS
for the Darien Ship Canal.

VICTORY.
Exciting Scenes In the Ohio House of Repre-
sentatives on Taking the Vote on the Fifteenth


Amendment.
The Columbus Journal, January 81, says:-
After some two hours 1ilibustering by the De-
mocrats, the House finally came to vote on the
fifteenth amendment last night at $50 o'clock
There had been no recess for supper. Members
were excited, and the hall, floor, and galleries
were crowded with excited people. These went
beyond the prescribed limits, and crowded in
upon the members in their seats. In the gallery
were many colored people who had watched the
maneuvring and listened to the discussions
personalities, and retorts incident to the discus
sion, with the most intense interest
Every effort was made by the Democrats to
delay the final vote. Motions not to call the
name of Blakesee were again declared out of
order by the Speaker, who, cool in the midst of
the excitement, kept the unruly members face
to face with the question. Motions to appeal
from the decision of the Chair were not enter
tanned, and while members were on their feet
gesticulating and shouting, the Speaker brought
quiet by announcing that the final vote would be
taken. The Democrats leading the list voted
loudly and fercely mo, while the Republicans
in the vanguard shouted out proudly "Aye."
There was little ripple of applause as Hill,
of Hamilton, voted strong "Aye, and applause
at other points.
The vote 81 yeas aud 55 nays, was announced
by the Speaker, who declared THE resolution
having constitutional majority, is adopted
Cheers, loud and hearty, and every manner of
appiauding sound burst from the spectators
members, and reporters, and the House pre-
sented a scene of widest excitement. A counter
current of Kisses and groans met this, and iu-
creased the confusion. The Speakers deter
mined calls for order quieted the shouts, and
cheers, while the opposing element of Kisses
continued in spite of the CALL like steam issuing
angriy from boilers about to burst Human
nature couldn't stand this, and another roll of
cheers thundered out. The fierce raps at the
desk brought quiet again, the friends of the
amendment rushing outside the hall to continue
their applauding efforts there until rattling
line extended into the street. and the people
therein caught up the story
