The Philadelphia Candidate.

y short time since there WAS no uucS-
ton that the President would he re
nominated 10y the Philadelphia Comven-
ton. 1t WAS assumed 10y the chief
Democratic papers as IL toregouc con-
rluSloh. because. as they alleged. he
was the strongest candidate. That WAS
unqu"SIl"nahly the feeling among Re
puhllcanS. 1t WAS that conviction
which produced the Missouri call for Il
meeting ut Cincinnati to influence the
convention. Ii WAS the same tcclin"
which caused the IjjbHHc to say thai
the two Conventions were wholly dis
tlmCt. and that those who were welcome
at the one would not he welcome at the
other. We presume. however. that the
editor of the TibHne would not now I've
dlsPlcaSed if the Philadelphia Convrn-
ton should welcome the Cincinnati can
didate. Undoubtedly, it was the gen
eral conviction when the wear opencd
that the President would he reuomiuo-
ted ; and i'll that expectation the Demo
cratic party was visibly crumbliup. and
1t was felt that the Reelection of fin.
President would be the dissolution of
tilat party, and the elimination of the
most paneful organized element from
our politics.
And why WAS the denomination of
the President believed to he assured
ana why WAS the Democratic party
clumhling Because of the general
success of the Administration. The
people of the country saw in the Presi-
dent an honest. simple, patriotic man,
patiently doing his duty. There was IL
foolish cry of military despotism. and
they saw in the White House one of the
plalnest and least ostentatious of Amer
lean citizens; the military hero of the
late war indeed; but whoever gravely

lost, was the old boat Columbia. which
was wrecked on the Nova Scotia coast.
The Trip"li was IN iron propeller of

How TO WATER PLANTs.-From careful
experiments Mr.. Mech discovered that
plants slightly watered every day often per-
ish and always become dwarfed whereas,
q good soaking given twice a week almost
invariably proves Beneficial. He says ri ag
The sum of my experience in watering
amounts to this That thorough soaking of
the ground two or three times week is much
better than the same amount Of water APP
piled in driblets daily, only sufficient to wet

Of earth contiguous to the roots. Cold spring
water should, before applying it to heated
soil. be allowed to stand exposed to the sun
and air a few hours. The colder the water
is, and the warmer the soil, so is the neces

evident, though we cannot explain it, that
the results produced upon plants by apply

to saturate the soil completely, is fatal to
