How CARDIFF GIANTS ARE MANUFACTURED
The fact has leaked out that the "Caraif'
Giant" that has gulled so many simpletons,
was manufactured in Chicago, and no W one of
1ts inventors, +. Mohrmann, q stone-cutter of
that city, Is out in a communication i'm the Chi
cago Tribune explaining how the imposture was
carried out Ii seems that Mohrmann and a
workman for Volk, the sculptor, named Sale,
were employed by George Hull to cut the giant
from block Of gypsum brought to Chicago
from Fort Dodge, Iowa. At first hair was carved
on the head, and a beard on the chin, but on
consultation with geologists it was found that
hair would not petrify. So, as il was designed
TO represent the statue as a petrifactiOn, the
haIr and whiskers were shaved OFF. 10 give the
figure the appearance of age, it was prieked
over with needles fastened in lead. This pro-
cess was carried on also to remove the marks of
the ehisel; and further to give the statue an an
tiquated look it was rubbed with vitrol, sui
Phuric acid, and English ink. 1t was at first
proposed to take the statue to Mexico and bury
II there, but on account of the distance that idea
was finally abandoned. Ii must make the dupes
OF this imposture feel rather foolish 70 learn
how easily they were sold by these Chicago
StOne-cutters.

Gable kilograms have lately given brief par
tculars of the discovery of a secret republican
society in Russia. European correspondent
OF the New York Post, supplies an interesting
account OF the manner in which this sOcetv-
styled the "Marianna Society"-was discovered
1t seems that the Liberal party-Young Russia
desired to publish a circular containing their
programme. But the printing of the document
was tiekiish matter; and, as they did not yen-
ture to intrust it to a Russian pi ess, they ad-
dressed themselves to one Ivanhoff Petrowitch.
bookseller by trade, and the correspondent of
an English newspaper, who would be above
suspicion Of completely In the affair, as he was
justice Of the peace called i'm Russia s'deleeate
OF the Gar" He was bribed for the work. and
in a short time the proclamation came hack
from England, in printed form, enclosed within
the folds OF the newspaper, and was distributed
by the post Office to the subscribers, under the
very eyes Of the police, which had made no ex
animation of the packages at the frontier; so
that eight thousand copies were put into circu-
lation without risk or trouble to any one. The
proclamation demanded four urgent reforms
81. Universal suffrage; 2 The abolition of the
monstrous privileges of the nobility; 3. The
abrOgation Of the agrarian laws, alike ruinous
to serfs and landed proprietors; 4. The abo
iition Of promotion by right of birth, in the
~1'' WIN aOSoiutc cqudLty 1Or all classes
Great was the excitement at the Court, and
particularly among the police authorities, who
were furious at being thus outwitted; and An
investigation at once began. Suspicion was di-
reeted towards Petrowitch, and to save himself
ne betrayed his employers, and furnished the
Minister OF Police with a complete list of two
hundred persons, among whom were not only
number of civil and military employees of the
Government, but also, it is said, the Czarowitch
himself. For the Crown Prince, in his anxiety
To propagate the liberal ideas of which he pro-
fesses to be a champion, is not willing to wait
for the results Of the incurable disease from
which his father is dying. Ivanhoff was re-
leased and sent of to foreign parts, and quite a
large convoy of political prisoners is preparing
Tor Journe to the extreme East.
As result OF this liberal agitation in Russia
the Imperial party threaten to withdraw the
privileges already voluntarily accorded to the
people; but this is probably but a threat, as the
present Emperor Is believed to be too intelligent
and liberal to be willing to earn the obloquy OF
the civilized world by taking the back track in
the path of progress.

Mr.Williams introduced a bill in the Common
Council last night, proposing, with the consent
OF Congress, TO give the Center Market fran
ehise to a private Company, the Corporation
having the privilege of subscribing to the stock,
II 1t chooses Very well; we are glad to see some
action proposed In the matter. Anything is
better than stagnation. We should prefer to
see the Corporation undertake tine work on its
own account; and if the annual income from the
present wretched sheds is $50, 100, as stated, it
would be the best investment the city ever
made to erect a frst-class market building on
the site of the present market, and reap the
benefit of the greatly increased income. But ii
the Corporation cannot or will not undertake il,
then let some responsible priv ate company have
the franchise, coupled, however, with a guaran-
tee that the building shall be OF a character
creditable TO the leading street upon which il is
placed, and showing no vestige of the repulsive
features of market business on its Avenue front.

How to Make CUTTINGS Grow.

1t has been ascertained that cutting
will develope root much sooner..in moist
sand than in rich soil. But the sand
cannot maintain its growth for any length
of time. To prepare pots for raising cut
tings, they should be filled nearly to the
brim 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 we'll as the yellow
sand. Wet this thoroughly, and place
the cutting, from which all but the three
or four upper leaves have been re-
moved, close to the side of the pot the
contact Of the ware against the stem of
the cutting promotes its growth. Press
the wet sand firmly around the stem. A
great 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 dozen, according
to size of your pot when they are firmly
set in the sand, two or three can be in
serted in the middle of the pot. Set them
away in dark, warm place, for twenty
four or thirty-six hours. Thus, cuttings
will grow quickly in hot bed, because
the temperature is not dry. Their growth
depends great deal upon light heat and
moisture. If a bud is close at the base
of cutting, it will strike root more easily
is not apt to decay. The roots shoot
from bud, and the lower down it i. the
surer your success. When the leaves
drop. the plant Is commencing to grow !;
if they wither on the stem, it has begun
to decay. By following these directions,
no one can fail to grow all kinds of house
plants. Roses and all the rarest flowers
of the green houses are propagated in this
manner.

HOW TO WOO AND WIN.

BY JOHN G. SAKE.
Would you play the manly lover p
Said a greybeard to his son,
"List, my lad, while discover
How maiden should be won.
"Woo her not with boastful phrases,
Lest you teach her lips to sheer;
Still a suitor's warmest praises
In his conduct should appear.
s'Woo her not with senseless signing
Madlens love laughing eye;
Tell her not that you are dying
Lest she, hooking, bid you die
''Woo her not with weakly whining
Der your poverty ofpelf,
Lest She answer by declining
Both your sorrows-- and yourself
''Woo her with a manly wooing;
Giving hostages to Fate -
All the hearts devotion showing
By its strength to work and wait.
"Woo her not with idle prattle
Whom yon fain would make your wife
But with proofs that in life's battle
You are equal to the strife,
"Like the knight whose simple suing
Won the lady (says the tale,)
When despite : heir wordy wooing
All the rest were doomed to fail.
"Lady H' quoth the bold Knight Errant,

"And behold his dexter fingers
Crush horse shoe like reed
And within her Jap there fingers

Keep the Small Potatoes until Spring.
Farmers frequently feed their small po-
t. toes to fattening pigs in the Fall. Il
would be mucn better to keep them until
spring and, then cook them. mix them
with little meal and feed them to >~uck-
ling sows and young pigs. In the spring,
before the clover is ready to turn into, We
are generally shert Of succulent food,
whereas in the autumn we have apples,
PUMPKINS. cabbage leaves and variety Of
vegetables that will not keep until spring.
The value Of potatoes as food for stock
does not lie so much in their nero
nutrimeut they contain as in their gisi-
ing tone tothe stomach and they will
prove much more useful when fed cat to
young pigs and breeding sow in the
spring, as is usual, than when cd to fat
tening pigs in the fall.
