may be, this one restriction must make it
unpalatable to all men of liberal ideas, apd
to all parties not recognized as supporters
of the Empire.
This assumption of supreme control over
the fundamental law has thus brought to-
gether ell tie heretofore discordant ele-
ments of the opposition to imperialism. =
Legit;mists, Orleanists and Republicans of
all degrees are, therefore, called on by
their leaders either 10 vote mo" at the
Plebiscitum, or to abstain from voting at
all. The right of discussing the question
at public meetings and in the journals
having been granted, there will be lively
times in France for several days. The
Emperor and his Ministers have cum
ningly coupled with the .Senatus- ConSultunp
an approval of all past concessions by the
Emperor The people are to vote Yes
Or No on the following proposition !:
''Do the people approve the liberal re-
forms which have been effected in the con-
stitution since 1860 by the Emperor, with
the concurrence of the great Legislative
bodies of the State, and ratify the
iSe'adtees Consuituna OF April 20, 1870 ?"
In any literally organized nation this
proposition would have been divided int
two. But the French people. III voting g
against the Senatus Consultum, will have
to vote also that they disapprove of the
past liberal reforms. To such stultifca
ton there ought to be strenuous opposi-
tion among all reasonable men, and the
best method of showing such opposition
will be to abstain from voting altogether
But there can be little expectation that a.
majority OF the people will thus abstain,
and there can be scarcely any doubt that
the Sen0tuS COnSuHttm will be declared
adopted.

Drainage in Flower Pots.

The editor of the Gardeners Monthly
states the whole theory and practice of
drainage in the following paragraphs
which he has written descriptive of the
action of water on pisnts in flower pots.
He says:
s'The trne theory fplant culture is this.
Plants feed chiefly % the matters they
take up with water fom the soil As fast
as the moisture evapOrates from the leaves
a new supply OF moisture enters through
the roots TO take its place. IF the soil IN
the pot does not get Try very fast, it is a
sign that much water is not being taken
up by the roots, and the .efore, the nntri-
tive powers of the pant ara not properly
il action. Something is wrong The
wont of drainage 0feu causes this wrong,
and in this way Tohave healthy soil for
hf .lthy roots. the atmosphere must cir
Iiate freely through II. The more rapidly
water passes through the more rapidly air
follows. Water is tle pioneer. It's wei Chs
makes a vacuum whith the air Immediately
fills. soil, therefore, which does not
dry fast, contains no air, soon becomes
''sour," and unfit for healthy plant action.
The roots become torpid, and the plants
whole system follows.
''Porous flowers allow much water to
pass through them. Plants with free,
vigorous growth, and an abundance OF
roots in moderately small pot will absorb
most of the moisture which can be given
to them. Drainage on them is labor los;; !;
but III the maj yrity OF cases it will be a
long time before the hole in the bottom
can be dispensed with, and where e7en
this hole is likely to be useful in encourage
i,g the water to pass rapidly away. it
should be protected from the chance Of
choking by having pieces of broken pots
put around it ana whatever other safe
guard, skill and experience may suggest"

White Slavery In the NOrth-A white Boy
Kept I'm Slavery on q Republican Farm.
A strange story is related by the Char
lesion News of the 10Th:
"a youth named George Siller arrived
here day before yesterday, and yesterday
left for Camden. He stated that IN April,
1865, when the Federal cavalry passed
through Camden, they took him prisoner,
he then being eleven years OF age, and
carried him off to orthern prison. Al
ter the conclusion OF Lostiities, Captain
of the army carried him TO lis farm IN
Pennsylvania, and made him work rs
common farm hand, until week ago,
when he managed to escape. George Glti
not know when here what had become Of
his family, as he had not beard from th.-m
since his capture" IF this indeed be true,
it completely throws into the shade tie
story that has been circulated quite exten
siveiy IN the Northern Radical papers, OF
negroes in the interior Of Alabama still
held in slavery by their masters, and kept
in ignorance Of the emancipation proclaim

The announcement of the massacre of
the English captives by the brigands in
Greece is really an event much more start
ling in its way than the detention of the
Abyssinian captives by King Theodorus.
All those who were captured were evident
ly highly connected. One of them wae
the son of the Duke of Manchester,
doubtless Viscount Mandeville. Mr.. Her
bert belonged to the British diplomatic
service, itself sign of high position. Mr..
Vyner is probably a brother-in law OF
Earl de Gray and Ripon, and Mr.. Boyel
was Secretary to the Italian Legation.
The sad termination of the affair will
probably lead to the determination of the
brigands. For years past travelling IN
Greece has been unsafe, even near the
towns. Parties were constantly seized by
brigands, half of whom were released un-
der the assurance that the other halt
would be massacred If a fixed ransom was
not soon forwarded. At times, when the
troops have passed near the haunts where
the brigands were concealed, unfortunate
captives have remained for a considerable
time beside cut-throat, who held pistol
at their ear, promising them to shoot il
one word should betray their hiding place.
In Italy they go a little further. When
the ransom is not forthcoming there the
brigands first send q finger, and then g
slice of the ear of the unfortunate victim,
as gentle reminder.
Ali this is terrible in its way, and II il
rather a curious commentary on the pro
gress of the present century that the wild
haunts Of the Indian IN the new world
should be safer to travel through than the
Immediate envirous OF towns which were
once the birthplace Of European civiliza
ton, and if not the cradle at least the
nursery Of the Christian religion.

The Cherokee Rose,

The legend of the Cherokee rose is as
pretty as the flower itself. An Indian
chief of the Seminole tribe was taken pris-
oner by his enemies, the Cherokees, and
doomed to torture, but fell SO seriously i'll
that it became necessary to wait for his
restoration to health before committing 6
him to the fire. And as he Icy Frustrated
by disease in the cabin OF the Cherokee
warrior, the daughter of the latter, a
young dark-faced maid, was his nurse
She fell in love with the young chieftain,
and wishing to save his life urged him to
escape; but he would not do SO unless she
would flee with him. She consented. Yet
before they had gone far, impelled by soft
regret at leaving home. she asked permis-
sion of her lover to return for the purpose
of bearing away some memento OF it. SO
retracing her footsteps she broke a sprlg
from the white rose which climbed up the
poles of her fathers tent, and preserving
it during her flight through the wilderness
planted it by the door uf her new home IN
the land of the Seminoles. And from that
day this beautiful! flower has always been
known between the capes of Florida and
throughout the Southern States by the
name ofthe Cherokee rose.

PrepRratton for Swarming

Many persons, who know better, neg
lect to clean their bee stands In spring
an operation grateful to the bee and es-
sential to the development of their pro-
ductive powers. There is sometimes re-
missness, too, in preparing hives for the
swarming season, resulting often in the
loss of colonies, which otherwise would
not have sought the forest domicile. Nc
matter what description of hiyG is used, it
is best to have an amfr''e number on hand
to meet any possible exigency which the
freaks of oE-shooting colonies may chance
to display. These preparations may not
save ali. but the chances are they will, II
not delayed till the moment when the out
going colony is about to take wing. It is
trite saying that ''delays are dangerous"
and in nothing are they more so than with
bees in the swarming season.

The Choctaw Nntton-Proposed Ne~ State
OF Ok-lR-huEnma.


The message of Alien Wright principal
chief the Choctaw Nation, convening d
special session of the Council, is an able
State paper. He warns them by the fate
Of their territory il Mississippi, and in
view Of the proposed establishment of the
Territory OF Lincoln, that it is idle to
talk Of things remaining as they are. The
great change is approaching; not such as
we wish, but just as it is, faster than we
are prepared to meet it. All must meet
the change, whether prepared or not, and
let us meet it manfully.
He then advises that the lands be sur
veyed and held in eeveralty, and then that
We organize ourselves at once as the State
of Ok-la-h0m- ma and ask for admission
as one Of the States Of the Union, and if
it is the honest desire of the United States
government to have US become citizens Of
the American Union, she will acquiesce in
our petition. He also recommends an
immediate protest against any territorial
government, and the adoption OF a reso-
luton to ask the government to settle the
status of the freedmen and recommends
the encouragement of railroads.
The Council subsequently passed an act
submitting the question Of dividing their
lands so as to be held in servaty, or as
heretofore in common, to a vote of the
people on the 4th of July next
..SometfmG.'
The following is one of Mr.. Prentice's
little waits, so many of which appeared in

'Son7etinae-it is a sweet, sweet song,
warbled to and fro among the topmost
boughs of the heart, and filling the whole
air with such JOY and gladness as the songs
of birds DO when the summer morning
comes out of darkness, and day is born on
the mountains. We have all our posses
sion in the future which we call some
time Beautiful flowers and singing birds
are there, only our hands seldom grasp the
one, or our ears hear the other. But oh,
reader, be of good cheer, for all the good
there is golden 'sometirne;' when the
hills and valleys Of time are ell passed;
when the wear and fever, the disappoint-
ment AMI the sorrow of life are over, then
there is the place and tho rest appointed
of God. Oh, homestead, over whose roof
fall no shadows or even clouds; and over
whose threshold the voice of sorrow is
never heard; built upon the eternal hills
and standing with thy spires and pima
cles Of celestial beauty among the palm
trees of the city on high, those who love
God shall rest under the shadows, where
there is no more sorrow nor pain, nor the
sound OF weeping sometime"
