TREES AND SHRUBS OF OHIO.

Magnolia PurpariG.l
This pretty species of mag
nolia is, but a shrub never
theless it Is quite ornamental,
having been introduced in.
to this country from China
several years since, and cult
waited in American gardens
with success. The leaves are
obovate, acute, strongly veined,
glabrous. The flowers are
quite abundant, very large and
snowy, expanding themselves
quite early in the pleasant
spring, being of apurpllsh col
or. This elegant shrub is
worthy a place in all Collec.
tions of trees and shrubs. l
RowNIsH-FLowERED MAGNOLIA.
[MdgnoliD Fuscdtd.l
This is a smaller shrub than
the Purple Magnolia, scarcely
exceeding three or four feet in
height. The leaves are ever
green, or nearly so, elliptic OF
oblong, clothed with luscious
down when ,yonng, at length
glabrous. The flowers are
rather small, dusky, yellowish
and delightfully."- fragrant. Some
years ago it was imported from
China, and has been cultivated
but sparingly in this country.
. soULANa's MAGNOLIA.
= Magnolia Souldngidnd.I
This beautiful shrub is said
to be q hybrid between the
Yulon or Chinese White Mag
nolia, and the Purple Chinese.
Some claim that it is a hybrid
between the Chinese Purple
and the American Cucumber
tree (MaynOlia Accu,aanata.)
though I it cannot rank as tree,
yet it is much stronger and
more vigorous in its growth
than the Purpurea. Very few
trees or shrubs either foreign
or native can excel this pretty
bush as it stands upon the YER
dant lawn, or in the well ar.
ranged garden. The blossoms
are large and elegant, beauti
fully tinted with white and
purple. Truly the seven spe'
cies of North American Magno.
lias are the pride of our noble
forests on account of their
splendid flowers and their ele-
CANT foliage, while those from
China add greatly to the beau
ty of our collections in the
garden.

The Taxes,

cut down as rapidly and as ex.

the debt.
Democratic sirs, what do you

taxes to "shut up!" Are you
not the very fellows whose
party went into rebellion?-
and you, who are bowling
against all taxation, the very
fellows who worked to prolong

are responsible for the heavy
burden of taxes that trests upon
the country? When your Dem.

And now, when the country is

What the Republican Party
has Done.


has Done. -.
The New York World makes
perhaps unattended but very
significant and valuable ad
mission as to what the nation,
under a Republican adminiso
-tration, has done to pay the
expenses of the war. 1t says:
"The war cost not less than
six thousand millions, Of which
lhirty-six hundred millions
have been paid by this gener
alton. We of this generation
have done our share; and the
remaining twenty four hum
dred millions of the debt ought
to be left to those after US
This generation has done ali
the fighting; it has suffered all
the-slaughter and carnage; it
has endured all the pangs and
bereavement of sundered do
mestic ties; it has paid sixth
tenths of the whole expense
of the war. If, in. addition to
this, it regularly pays the in.
terest on the residue of the
debt, posterity will have no
right TO complain that we have
shirked our share of the bur-
den.p r,.--r
In view of these facts, is it
not rather presumptuous in
party that, first denying that
the rebellion would ever be
put down, next took the posi-
tion that the debt contracted
theirin could never be paid,
now to turn round and arraign
the party under (which all this
has been done, as incompetent
to O. manage the affairs OF the
