with four or five thicknesses Of old
newspapers, a curtain OF the same ma
terial being pasted over the small low
windows at the top OF the cellar. The
papers were pasted to the bare iosts

them aud the floor. He reports that
the papers carried his roots through last
winter, though the cellar was left un-
banked, and he IL confident that they
have made the cellar frost proof. We
do not counsel the special use of old
newspapers for this purpose. 1t is just

necessary To sweep down the walls
thoroughly, aud to use II very strong
size to hold the paper to the stones. 1t
is not necessary to press the paper down
into all the depressions OF the wall;
every air space beneath 1t II Nh Iidi-
tioual defense against the cold.

POLITICAL NOTES.

There is not a member in the Wisconsin
Legislature who can claim that State as his
birthplace.
1t seems certain that Rhode Island will
lose one Representative in Congress under
the coming superintendent.
that Congressional legis lation, so far, gave
no indication of reduction of taxation.
The Iowa Legislature takes twenty three
daily papers for each member of the Sen.
ate, and twenty-five for each IN smber of the
House.
The fact that United States Senator.
ship is an element of the next New Hamp-
shire election, which takes place in March,
gives zest to the contest.
The various Radical cliques in Virginia
are attempting to smooth away their differ
ences IN order to present solid front" to
the State Democracy.
General Robert E. Lee believes that reg.
ulsr aud constant labor in Virginia can be
secured only by the introduction of a re.
spectacle class of laborers from Europe.

The Kentucky negroes are to meet in
State Convention, at Lebanon, on the 22d
of February, for the purpose of consultation
regarding the political and social interests
of the race.
Members of the Constitutional Conven-
ton thought they could get rid of the lobby
by giving out that they had the smallpox.
The lobbyists got around that dodge, by get
