The recent earthquake in Califor-
MIA, by moving a whole valley four
teen feet and leaving it there has
puzzle d the worthy people greatly
about the metcs and bounds OF their
several farms and the prospect now
Is that the confusion will result in a
number of chancery suits which
will last until another earthquake
shall set the valley back in it's proper
place. That beats our "spring
zephyrs" q little.

THE WHOLESALE ERIE SwlNDLE.-
The New York Times says it is be-
lieved that S52,OO0,O00 worth of
ErIe shares have been issued by Jay
Gould, but in such q loose manner
that they cannot be traced. They
were, it is saio, first issued In the
shape of convertible bonds, which
bonds passed over to Smith, Gould
81 Martin, which firm converted
them into stock shares. The re-
ceipts from the sales of stocks were
entered in the Erie books among
the general business receipts. Vice
President niven says the confusion
arising from such u system Of &C
counting is so great that 1t will re-
quire considerable time to unravel
the threads.

A gentleman from Cowley Ct IN :
ty was in town last week looking
up the Usage, Neosho and Walnu.
Valley Railroad. Down the Wal
nut Valley they are agitating this
enterprise, and are anxious to know
what is being done up this way.
We are sorry to inform them that
Sam Crawford, was elected Presi-
dent of the road and that killed
it. He has been looking wise ever
since. At least we have never heard
of q move it has made since. We
predicted that would be the result
when we heard OF the organization.
In franklin county they propose to
have q new vote on the bonds. and
we hope new life will be infused
into the matter this way.

The news comes from Washing
ton that the new State Department
building, although quite different in
style from the Treasury, will pre-
serve some elements of congruity
with that notable pile" We should
hope not, fervently. One such
architectural monstronsity as that,
in our capital city, is as much as any
people can be expected to bear.
Another would make suicide a ma
tional habit.

When we remarked last week
that the Spanish ministry would DO
compelled to quarrel among them
selves, as the only feasible way OF
getting up q cabinet crisis. now that
the ministerial party has been sue
cessful in its elections, we hardly
anticipated SO speedy a confirma-
ton of our prediction as that fur
nished by the event. One minister
has already resigned in dudgeon at
something, and the promise of a
general break up is reasonably fair
even at this early day. Meantime
the Carlists arc making n kind of
homeopathic instruction in the
provinces, one of its armies, num-
boring ninety men, having put in a
formidable appearance at Barcelona.

We published last week, q cur
rent item of news which was calcu-
lated to reflect on Senator Schurz'
reputation for honesty, to wit: that
he was in areas with the govern
ment to the amount OF six thousand
dollars, on account of the Spanish
mission. A statement has since ap-
pearcd in the kilograms, which
seems to aqutt the Senator of the
charge. We are glad to make this
correction because we have always
admired the Senator's character and
would not do him injustice.

The Iowa LEGIsLATURE.-The
Iowa Legislature is divided on the
question OF abating capital punish
ment. The House has passed a bill
for its abolition, but the Senate has
refused to concur. A bill has pass

of second State Penitentiary,
which is to be located at Anamosa,
Jones county.

Nor LIBERAL.-There are two
staunch and honest Republicans,
Hon. Sam Lappin, of Nemaha
county, and Hon. Thaddeus H.
Walker, of Topeka, who were ap-
pointed delegates to the Cincinnati
convention, who don't propose to go
with that concern. Mr.. Lappin,
who is one of the best men in the
State, has published card to that
effect. This makes no less than
twenty-five who have declined the
honor conferred upon them by the
Topeka convention. We hope they
will have q few left, to keep them
in courage little while.

1t is the fashion to revile Indiana
and Illinois for their easy divorces
laws and for the multiplicity OF
cases arising under them, but some
of the Eastern States seem in fair
way to rival either of them IN this
regard. Out of one hundred and
flfty-one cases now on the docket
of the Supreme Court OF Massa-
chusetts, in session at Taunton,
seventy-four are petitions for di-
vorcc, and four are the applications
of divorced people for permission
to marry again.

Many species of plants, such as q.
mellias, Oranges and Oleanders. are
liable to be attacked by scale-like insects
(soccus), and these should be carefnIlv
removed by washing the leaves and stems
with warm soap suds, using soft sponge
or brush for this purpose. All dead and
decaying foliage should be cut off and the
plants kept clean and in handsome shane
either by pruning or tying up the
branches.

some room where they can be watered
over head and their leaves cleaned of dnst
If it cannot be done in the place they are
grown. This cleaning of the leaves of
house plants is far too generally neglected
by ladies who cultivate only few speci.
mems because it is too much trouble, and
water is not just the thing to scatter over
carpets and furniture We can hardly
expect to improve on natures method Of
watering plants; and she pours it upon
the leaves first, and the roots get their
share all in good time. One of the prin.
cipal reasons why the plants cultivated
by professional florists in their conserya.
tories thrive so much better than those
cultivated in common dwellings, is that
they are frequently showered over head
and the atmosphere in which they grow IS
kept constantly moist. Heat, light, and
moisture are the essentials to insure
growth of seeds and plants; the richest
soil or the best attention being of little
value without them-Rurdl NeW Yorker
