House Plants.

To succeed in growing plants in
dwellings, it is necessary to keep the
air around the plants at moderate
temperature, say from fifty to sixty de.
grees, and as moistas possible, by hav.

or other material that will all the time
be giving off moisture amongst the
leaves Siii5 iia3
Any plant having leaves large enough
-as the beautiful waxy camelia, the In
dia rubber plant, century, and others,
are greatly benefited by occasionally
sporging the leaves with water by which
means the dust that accumulates on
them is removed--a fruitful source of
trouble to house plants. Where sponG-
ing is not applicable, as with small leav-
ed sorts, or those of woody Of rough
surface, Swinging, or, what is better,
an hour or two in warm rain,will have
the same effect, and be vastly beneficial

Escape of De Chaleaubrun from
the GuillOtine.

The scenes at present cnacting in Par
is necessarily remind one Of the still
more terrible scenes Of eighty years
ago, when the guillotine played so i'm
portant part. s
The story Of the singular escape Of
De Chateaubrun, is told in the Memo
ries of NJ. De Vaublanc, as follows:
ga nobleman, named NJ De Chateau
brun, having been condemned to death
by the revolutionary tribunal, had been
placed on the fatal tumbril and taken to
the Place de Ia Revolution, to be put to
death. After the Reign of Terror he
was met by friend, who gave cry Of
surprise; and, scarcely able to believe
the evidence of his senses, asked De
Chateaubrun to explain the mystery of
his appearance. The explanation was
given, and / heard it from his friend.
"He was taken away with twenty 9TH
er unhappy victims. AFTER twelve or
fifteen executions, he said, 'one part of
the horrible instrument broke, and a
workman was sent for to mend it. NJ.
de Chateaubrun was, with the other vic.
tins, near the scaffold, with his hands
tied behind his back. The repairing
took long time. The day began to
darken; the great crowd of spectators
were far more intent on watching the re-
pairing of the guillotine than on look
ing at the victims Who were to die; and
all, even the gendarmes themselves, had
their eyes fixed on the scaffold, Re-
signed, but very weak, the condemned
man leant, without meaning it, on those
behind him; and they, pressed by the
weight of his body. mechanically made
way for him, tilfgradually, and by no
effort of his own, he came to the last
ranks of the crowd. The instrument
once repaired, the executions began
again, and they hurried to the end. A
dark night concealed both eXecutioners
and spectators. Led on by the crowd,
De Chateaubrun was at first amazed at
his situation, but soon conceived the
hope of escaping He went to the
Champs Elysees, and there, addressing
a workman, told him laughingly, that
some joking comrades had tied his
hands behind him and run off with his
hat He begged the man TO cut the
cords, and the workman did so, laugh.
ing all the while at the joke. Chateau
brun then proposed to treat at a neigh
boring wineshop. Afterwards he got
the workman to carry note to one of
his friends, whom he knew would send
him hat. The workman did so, and
soon returned accompanied by Chateau
bruins friend, who furnished him with
hat, money, and all he required.
