ably set themselves diligently to work
soon after assembling. The first bill o"
the Senate calendar ia one introduced
by Senator Sumner. as supplementary to
the Civil Rig ts Bill, On the 9-h OF
March last; il declares that all citizens
of the United States withou. distinction

and impartial enjoyment Of any accom-
mediation, advantage, priority or priv
lege furnished BY common carriers
whether on land or water, by innkeepers;
by licensed owners OF managers of the

The bill also provides the machinery for

paragraph securing to all citizens an
equal right to serve on juries. This
bill is to overcome the Difficult les the
colored peop'e have always had to con-
tend against in visiting places Of amurs-

Congress will find, in the Sen

TELEGRAPHTC CABLE ACROSS
LAKE MICHIGAN

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Nov 22.--The
Lake Michigan Cattle Committee of
the Chamber of Commerce made their
report to-day, favoring hempen cable
the cost Of which has been figured
down to $4,000 for a single wiIe,
while the cost of the other kind would
foot up S95 900. The committee also
recommended preliminary survey
Sir. T. ID. Rcade, civil eugiaeer who
has obtained certain facts in regard to
a hempen cable, makes report en-
deavoring to show its superiority over
an 1rou cable. The specific gravity
being very light, while its tensile
strength is very great, would rendera
brea age less liable than any other.
Professor j. A. Lapham makes re-
port showing that, the bottom Of the
lake being clay and gravel the slopes
uuiform, and the general depth not ex-
ceeding 900 feet, would laake it favor
able for such a cable. Mr.. Reed rec
commended careful survey aud full re-
port, to be submitted to the Chamber
of Commerce for action, and then to
the " esterr Union Telegraph Comp
any. The Chamber Of Commerce di-
rected the committee to procure prl-
vate subscriptions fer the preliminary
surv ey to be undertaken by Mr. Reade.

FRUIT CULTURE-OLD ERRORS
CORRECTED.

|. Instead of trimming up trees, accord
ing to the old fashion, to make them long
legged and long-armed, trim them down, so
us to make them even, snug and symmet-
rcal.
Instead of manuring heavily in n small
circle about the foot of the tree spread the
manure, if needed at all, broadcast over the
whole surface.
Instead of spading n small circle about
the stem, cultivate the whole surface broad
cast.
Prefer u wcll-pulverized clean surface
in IN orchard with moderately rich soil,
to heavy manuring, and surface covered
with hard crust and weeds or grass.
Remember that it is better to set out ten
trees with all the necessary care to make
them live and flourish, than to set out a
hundred trees and have them die from
carelessness.
Remember that tobacco is a poison,
and will kill insects rapidly if properly
applied to them, and is one of the best
drugs for freeing fruit trees rapidly from
vermin-and is better used in this way
than to make men repulsive and diseased

CUT FLOWERS.

The first thing to be considered in arrang-
ing cut flowers is the vase.
If it is scarlet, blue or many-colored, it
must necessarily conflict with some hue in
your bouquet. Choose rather pure white
or transparent grass, which allows the
delicate stems to be seen. Brown Swiss
wood, silver, bronze, OF yellow straw con-
fliot with nothing. The vase must be sub
ordinate to what it holds.
A bowl for roses. Tall-spreading vases
for gladiolus, ferns, white lilies, and the like.
Cups for violets and tiny wood flowers.
Baskets for vines and gay garden blossoms.
A flower-lover will in time collect shapes
and sizes to suit each group.
Colors should be blended together with
neutral tints, of which there are abund-
ance-whites, grays, purple, tender green's
and which harmonic the pinks, crimsons,
and brilliant reds into soft unison.
Certain flowers assert well only in fami-
lies, and are spoiled by mixing. OF these
are balsams, hollyhocks, and sweet peas,
whose tender liquid hues are us those of
drifting sunset clouds. Others may be mass
ed with good effect. In arranging n large
basket OF vases, it is well to mentally
divide it into small groups, making each
group perfectly harmonious with itself, and
blending the whole with green and delicate
colors. And, above all, avoid stiffness
Let bright tcndril or spray Of vine
spring forth here and there, and wander
over and around the vase ut its will.
The water should be warm for II winter

TULIPS DO NOT NEED MANURE.

The California Hort,culturia quotes the
following experience in illustration of the
above statement: 1.-TWO years since gentle
man residing in this city, imported parcel
of Holland Bulbs, consisting chiefly of IIya-
cinths, Tulips, and Anemones. He prepared
II bed for them IN II sunny exposure, and adj
ded sufficient of old COW manure to make ii
half manure and half soil. In this bed he
planted his Hyacinths and Tulips; we called
his attention to the fact that Tulips do not
require so much manure, and we expressed
fear for his ultimate success. We have new
er seen n finer lot of Hyacinths in bloom in
California than his, but the Tulips were q
complete failure. This example vindicates
the old established rule, that the Tulip will
not thrive well in heavily MANFRED soil, and
even if it does, the flowers will exhibit much
inferiority in the various shades of color"

CRACKED HEELS.

Cracked heels almost invariably result from
some form of stable mismanagemcnt. Some
times the horse is being too freely supplied
with beans or oats, and has not sufficient
work or exercise. More often the irrit;lbility
and sores are induced from wet and filth.
The horse, on his return from work, has his
legs washed literally without being properly
dried, or he is permitted to stand amongst
rotten straw and acrid urine. The hind
heels being most frequently exposed to these
noisome causes of irritation, accounts in
great part for their being cracked more COM
monty than the fore-hcels. Endcavor if
possible, to ascertain the exact causes which
have induced and keep up the mischief.
Without this, treatment can obviously be of
little avail. If there is much thickening OF
the skin, pain and tenderness, it will be well
to give the animal half n dose of physc; or
der mashes, roots, or green food, and forbid
beans and peas keep the stable scrupulousy
clean; avoid wetting the heels us much ms
possible; but if they require cleaning aftel
work. use tepid water, and be particular rs
to thorough drying; moistcn the cracks daily
with a little carbolic acid lotion made will
one part of carbolic acid to SIX of linseet
oil; and to prevent us much us possible tho
access of dirt smear the heels with some OK

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer says
that he saved the fruit of one of his plum
trees from the curculio in the following man.
ner Early every morning while the tree
was in bloom corn meal was strewn over the
ground beneath the branches and the whole
flock of poultry were allowed to gather it up.
The ground was thoroughly scratched over,
every day, and meal, insects, and everything
edible picked up. Later in the season, "
brood of chicks were cooped beneath the tree,
and the operation of sowing meal continued
This tree, and this alone. was loaded with
fruit, and that so heavily, that the branches
had to be propped up. Not plum matured
