Rose eff ,jericbo.
From Moore's Rural New Yorker.


Every one who has passed through
the streets of New York in the last two
or three years must have noticed on the
moss-looking plants, labelled " Resur-
rectiOn Plants, or Rose of Jericho"
The latter name is perhaps the more
attractive of the two, because anything
that comes or purports to have come
from the Holy land possesses par
ticular value to many people. The lit
tie plants, however, sold in our market
are not the true Roses of Jericho, but
merely species of bird s-nest-moss,
SeldgineUa iepjdOphylya, from Lower
California. Ii these apparently dry
and dead plants are placed IN water
they soon swell out, their beautiful
leaves expanding until they assume the
original sige and color, hence the COM
mon name of 9 Resurrection Plants"
The old and original Rose of Jericho
resembles It's American namesake, but
is known to botanists as AnuStutica
MierOchu}atj1lo, and might, with as
much propriety, be called a cabbage as
rose 1t is very small and insignif-
cant plant, but its hygrometical proper

of travellers in its native country.
During the rainy season the plant
tiourishes, but wien dry time comes
the root stock breaks off, the leaves
roll up into ball, the wind blowing it
over the sands until rain again falls.
Many volumes and monographs have
been written about this insignificant
little plant, the earliest of which that
have come to light is that of John
Storms, 1907, exhuned from tie shelves
of some cid bGok-worm in Europe q

The California species, so abundant

Clement. Morton & Go.

The extraordinary career of this wholesale
clothing house is striking illustration of the
marvellous pluck and enterprise which has
given Chicago and Chicago business men
worldwide renown. In the fall of 1870 this
firm lost their stock of about $1,000 bv FIRE.
but immediately resumed business. with a
largely increasing trade. Again in the great
fire Of October, 1871, their stock of over
$4,000 was entirely swept away. Meeting
every engagement promptly on time, they were
the first in their line to resume business IL

BallOoning Extraordinary..-A Balloon
Within Balloon.

M. Dupuy de LONE, the celebrated
French nautical engineer and member
of the French Academy of Sciences,
constructed navigable balloon during
the seige of Paris, but it was not in
condition to be sent up in the air when
the seige terminated by the Par capt.
uiation. The funds, which amounted
to $4,000, were exhausted, and the
Communist instruction stopped the
proceedings The balloon was con-
ceaied least it should be destroyed by
the insurgents. When the Versaillists
took possession OF Paris, the const1uc-
ton was resumed at NJ. de Lome's own
expense Several alterations were in
troduced in the original scheme,
and the ascent was delayed by
several unavoidable circumstances. 1t
was made on the 9th instant. from Vim
cennes new fort, before large audi
ence. Nj. Dupuy de LONE assembled
himself and conducted the whole expe-
dition. Thirteen persons were on
board besides-M. Zede, naval en-
gineer, some friends of M. Dupuy de
LONE, and eight men for working the
screws four were to pull at once, and
the calculated rate of motion in air
perfectly calm was eight miles an hour.
The wind was blowing from the South
at a rate of forty-two miles. The ane-
mometer of Montsaurin Observatory
recorded only twelve; but it is known
from Mr.. Glaisher's ascents that ground
thermometers do not give nearly the
full value of aerial motion. M. Dupuy
de LONE only expected slight devia.
C. =
according to the composition of forces.
The expected deviation was obtained
several times during the journey, and
the rate of the directing power was
slightly superior to the calculation
Inside the balloon is a smaller one,
which is filled with common air through
an air pump, for taking the room of the
gas which escapes in consequence of
the dilatation. That part of the APP
paratus proved also great success, as
the balloon was kept quite full until the
descent. That operation was also most
successfully effected, owing to the
elongatlon of the balloon, which is ell
liptical, the great axis being three times
the length OF the smallest.
The bolloon descended at Noyon,
ABOUT ninety miles from IaflS, III the
direction of Brussels. The balloon is
perfectly sound, except small piece
which was torn out of it by bows for
the purpose of taking a relic, which
practice is the curse of eronautics. 1t
Will be sent to Vincennes to wait for
other experiments. The weight of the
car was 1000 pounds, of passengers
and crew 1900 pounds, besides the
screws and balloon With such a
weight, it is possible to employ a
steam engine.

Words of Worth.

FEAR unbalanced by hope is despera-
tion
INQUIRY is surer guide than con.
lecture.
EVERY man ought to be trusted in
his own art.
NEVER speak to deceive, nor listen to
betray.
JEsTs, like sweetmeats, have often
sour sauce.
HYPOCRISY is the homage that vice
pays to virtue.
DISCRETION of speech is superior to
eloquence.
CONTENTION does not benefit or con
vince either party,
He that will not look before him will
have to look behind him.
ONE general work of the imposter is,
that he outdoes the original.
UNDERTAKE deliberately, but having
once begun, proceed steadfastly.
CANDoR Intentionally offends no one,
but IS never servilely complaisant.

ALWAYS Ahead.

d. b. Fisk & Co., who are among the largest
importers and who esale dealers in millinery
goods in the West, and the first to find new
quarters and supply customers after the fire,
have just built and occupied a new brick store,
at n and 20 South Clinton street, with three
floors, 50xl50 feet-over half acre of floor
room,-with admirably arranged and elegant
offices, ladies' parlors, toilet rooms, and every
convenience fer doing an immense business.
Their stock, of their own importation, or di-
rect from the manufacturers, is large, choice,
and all new, and of the latest styles. More
centrally located than before the fire. out of
the dirt and dust of the burnt district, within
a block of the Sherman, Briggs. Barnes,
and Clifton Hotels. but two blocks from the
Alton and ST. Louis. and the Pittsburgh and
Fort Wayne Depots. and but three from the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway with horse
car. and omnibus lines in front and on either
side leading from all the other railroads, they
now occupy the very focus of the converging
lines of travel, to gather in the vast t1ade of
the Northwest With superior facilities, am

ness, with their prestige and popularity as the
leading house in their lne,-largely Increased

Chicago EpterDrise.

Ne stronger evidence of the wonderful en-
ergy Of the age, can be produced than is now
exhibited In the rebuilding of Chicago.
Scarcely five months have elapsed since one
of the greatest calamities ever known leveled
this proud city, consuming over two hundred
millions of property. Quite city has al
ready risen in the ruins, and the buildings are
of better class than before. During arecent
visit to Chicago. we noticed among other fine
buildings erected, the mammoth brick ware
house of the great dry GODS firm of FIELD,
LETTER d Co., corner of Madison and Market
streets covering almost the entire block, being
201X190 feet. Can area more than double their
former quarters), SIX floors, filed from base
ment to roof; naarly five acres and a half of
dry goods, gathered by their own foreign and
home BUYERS from ali parts of the world. This
is but one of the many great distributing de-
pots, which have arisen from the ashes, be-
cause the Great West needs them. This firm,
and their competitors recognize the fact, that
prosperous business mesps bsnBfil to the buy er
as well as the seller, and through their wide
awake policy, loeo prices are brought one
thousand miles nearer to their doors. The
Great West has given Chicago her promi-
hence. because every country village and city
has . taken stock in her. and extend their
encouragement and patronage to her. in a
few years she will be rebuilt more elegant and
substantial than befOre,-Cpm

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD

Snbbases as a Market Crop.
The New Albany Gnd. Ledger gives
the following account of cabbage rails
ing IN the southern part of that State.
The average size of the cabbage field
of each farmer is four acres, few cuitl-
waiting less, and many cultivating as
high as five acres. At TO-, 900 cabbages
per acre, each man would cultivate 20, :
900 heads On the bottom between
this city and Bridgeport there are about
fifty-fve cabbage fields of the size
named, employing, as cultivators, in
one capacity or another, not less than
four hundred persons. Upon each of
these fifty-five fields an average crop of
10000 cabbages is produced, making
the total crop upon the entire bottom,
between New Albany and Bridgeport,
2.000,0 900 heads, an immense product
for $40 acres of land, about the amount
cultivated in the vegetable. This i'm
mense crop of cabbages is nearly all
shipped South Most of it goes direct
to the city of New Orleans Shippers

Making Asparagus Beds.

In the garden for family purposes new
asparagus beds should be made now
without delay, though any time this
month will answer The best plan in
making these beds is to excavate the
earth, whether it is soil or not to the
depth of twenty to twenty-four inches,
remove all the dirt except the soil, and
commence to fill up with a good layer
Of horse manure, press it well down,
then a layer of soil, and then manure
again, leaving the richest manure for
she last eight or ten inches Plant two
year cid roots of the colossal variety,
three feet apart each way, with the
crown of the roots from six to eight
inches beneath the surface.
Keep the beds clear of ali weeds,
grass, etc. The plants will make con-
siderable growth the first season, and
the third season there will be some
spires tit to cut. The fourth season,
three years after planting, the bed may
be considered in its full maturity. No
salt should be applied until the bed is
fully established. While there is no
better fertilizer than salt for a bed once
fully producing a crop, to be applied
early IN April and as soon after the fall
dressing of manure is forked in as may
be conyenient-it is death to the young
plants. Salt destroys the weeds and
grass; and must be kept from box edg-
ing and young trees, or it will destroy
them too.-GeTDa0Rt0t0l2 Telegraph.
