Among the Flowers.

During one Of the warm days this
week reporter of the New York Post
visited one OF the leading greenhouses
in Harlem. He tells that: a.t
The floral show which greeted us on
every side through the long range Of
houses, was a feast to more than one
sense. In the richest profusion bios
somed wealth of queenly roses, while
at their feet bloomed In more modest
beauty the fragrant heliotrope and sweet
alyssum intermingled with snowy drifts
Of spirea. Great dropping clusters of
fuchsia nodded purple splendors over
beds Of pale-blushing primroses. Tall
white lilies bent their stately heads to-
ward rich clusters of red and white aza
leas Large spreading palms dropped
lovingly over delicate ferns and tender
MOSES; while delightful confusion of
hyacinths, carRations, sweet jasmine,
mignonette, geraRium, blue violets, coral
bouvardia, crimson poinsetsa, yellow
acacia, warm-hearted aud richly-tinted
leaves dwelt together in sweet compan.
ionship. Among the tropical plants we
notice many especially beautiful-mar-
antas with their long, graceful leaves, Of
which one very fine specimen was the
maranta RECALLS, dark green leaf, richly
shaded in lighter green; also caladiums,
one of which, the Emperor Napoleon,
has palm-shaped leaf, with scarlet cen
ter and dark green edges, relieved with
fine sprayssin coral shades, while another
specimen, the caladium Beethoven, has
most delicate traceries of fine, white
lace-work on the green ground of the
laaf

nexation Of the African gold fields with

lion England pays a small sum Of money
and annuls some treaty stipulations by
which the Netherlands were prevented
from occupying the great Malayan island
of Sumatra, so that il is a mutually ad-
vantageous bargain. This treaty makes
England the first Of European nations

There is something plausible after all
in the doctrine Of the Spiritualists that
the real torment Of the future state con-
sists not in a fire and birthstone hell
but in still hanging round in spirit form
the scenes which one has left, and seeing
hsw things 90 on after ones death. II
must be hell for the spirit of a dead mi
ming speculator to see stock 60 up with
out the power Of euehreing somebody
out Of thousand. Isn't it hell for a
miser to see all his savings squandered;
for husband to see his wife, who swore
she loved him so fondly, firt at his fune-
raj with young Smith, whom he kicked
out of the house; FOR smart, business
ike spirit to see his late partner miss
chance after chance Of making pile;
for a mining spirit to see fellows running
a drift the wrong way-well, We shall all

How a Little Girl Saved the Com
muniOn Service.


In the course of an address to chill
dren, the Rev. Charles P. Dorset, Rector
of the Church of the Ascension, Chi
cago, Illinois, recently related the fol
lowing striking incideht;'
"A poor widow sent me a dollar and
thirty cents, in silver change, saying
that it was all that she found in her dead
husband pocket-book, and she wanted
to give tito God.
II told this to the children and their
parents in the Church Of the Ascension,
| In Chicago, and they soon found way
to use this widows mite for God. They
said We will make Communion Ser
vice of it. So they added to it their
gold rings and pieces Of jewelry, and
the pocket pieces of silver, and a lady
gave her dead boy 4. silver cup, and so
they kept on adding pieces Of silver and
gold till we had enough, and then the
artist made US very beautiful challce
and paten all of silver and gold.
"Now / must tell you what came OF
it, and that shall be my second story.
When that dreadful fire which destroyed
our churches and homes in Chicago was
seen approaching our little church, a
little girl, seven years old, came with
her father to see what they could save.
IL was four o clock in the morning, and
there was no light except what came
from the fire. But little Louisa Enderli
found the Communion Service and
saved it. She was soon lost from her
father. and for four weary miles she
made her way among the crowd of the
people who were hnrrying away from the
burning district d,
The wind blew the burning sand and
cinders in her eyes, and almost blinded
them; but she defended them as best she
could with one hand, and elung to her
precious treasure with the other, retus-
ing to give it up till she had it in place
of safety. For three days she was lost
from her father, she having been shell
tered and cared FOR by a kind German
family. When her father at last found
her She threw her arms around his neck,
saying, Comrunionr But even then
she could not give d up until she bad
placed it safely in the sectors hands.
Now, children, think that was ar aeI
of Christian heroism worthy of tne
martyrs, who died for their Lords sake
in the older days"

How Small Expenditures Count.

Five cents each morning, mere triae.
Thirty-fve cents q week is not much,
vet it would buy coffee and sugar for a
whole family-$40.27 year-and this
amount invested in savings bank at
the end of the year, and the interest
thereon at six per cent. computed annu-
ally, would in twelve years amount to
more than $689-enough to buy good
farm in the West l ? aal 81
Five cents before breakfast and dinner
and supper-you'd hardly miss it, yet it
is fifteen cents day-$l 05 per week.
Enough to buy small library of books
Invest this as before, and in twenty
years you have over $4,000. Quite
enough to buy good house and lot.
Ten cents each morning-hardly worth
second thought, yet with it you can
buy a paper of pins or a spool of thread.
Seventy cents week-it would buy sew
eral yards of muslin-$37 80 in one
year. Deposit this amount as before,
and you have $2340 in twenty years
quite a snug little fortune. Ten cents
Before breakfast, dinner and supper
thirty cents day. 1t would buy book
for the children; 81 0per week, enough
to pay for years subscription to good
newspaper; $lO9 so per year-with it
you could buy good melodeon, from
which you could procure sweet music, to
antly while away the evening hours.
And this amount invested as before
would in forty years produce the de-
sirable amount Of $4,000.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The ferns are seen in large variety, of
which one is especially rare and beauti-
ful-the golden-leaved, with its delicate
green surface, lined with rich gold. The
palms, of which this house intend to make
large collection, embrace at present
forty varieties. Lilies of the valley also
receive great attention, and have been
forced into profuse winter.blooming, to
supply the fashionable demand for these
lovely blossoms. But the orchids, so
unique, so peculiar in their beauty, have
an attraction entirely their own. Float
ing in mid-air on their gossamer stalks,
and combining the rarest and most deli
cate coloring with the most fanciful form,
as of the golden butterflies, gorgeously-
winged insects, or daintily-tinted hum
ming birds, these blossoms seem like ex-
quisite productions of art or magical
creations of fsiryland.

At Old Calabar met an Englishman
in November last who was actually suf-
fering from the want of the necessaries
of life. This Englshman was formerly
wealthy dealer in the sugar trade OF
Liverpool, and failed in 1864. Since
that time circumstances went steadily
against him, antil the African diamond
uproar aroused his ambition. After some
oIMculty he procured loan from an old
friend. 80 that be might pay his way
here Months aid months passed, and
the unfortunate Mr.. Saadfordr formerly
merchant Of Liverpool, became DIS
heartened. He lived upon the charity
Of those he met who spoke his language.
On the fifth morning Of 1ast December,
Mr.. Sandford renewed work on q little
lot which he had frequently abandoned.
On that morning he discovered ten
stones, averaging ten earats each, which
made their aggregate value $1,000 or
$4,000 gold. His fortune did not aban-
don him at el000. On the following day
he was offered e50OO for his lot or
claim, as the English call t. He re-

EASTER FLOWERS.

A long range of roses of every variety
and description decorates the center
greenhouse, among which are the beau
tiful Saffrano, the canary-colored Isa-
bella Sprunt, and the bon seline, deli
cate blush pink. The lemarque grows
also in great abundance and fine condi-
ton, but this white-clustered rose is the
especial favorite for Easter, and is
pruned back in reserve for that occasion,
to which also much of the energy of the
greenhouse is at this season devoted. A
wealth of blossoms, too eager to burst
their bonds of imprisonment, are held
by the florist in impatient allegiance, and
are bound in the soft chains of sleep to
awake only in greater glory on that ju-
bilant morn. Then sanity lilies, white
roses, sweet violets and all pure and del
icate spring blossoms shall unfold their
fresh beauty and join in fragrant unison
to hallow the holy Easter.tide.

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-10-18
TIE NOMINATIONS,

The Republican convention, in one re-
spect, is close imitator of its rivals and
predecessors. It moves slowly. But we
have faith to believe that this dilatory
course is ascribabIe to its earnest desire to
put good and capable nominations before
the people, and to avoid the evil results
likely to spring. from precipitancy and
haste.
Although the other conventions con-
sumed even a larger time than the Repub-
licans have done, it does not appear that
they were actuated by desire to pick
their best representative men. On the
contrary, their ticket is composed of place
hunters, repudiated by their own party
and secuted by the community. The
Republican convention will commit no
such folly. How fayorably in this respect
does the resolution passed yesterday com
pare with the action of the fusionists {?
It was introduced by Mr.. Johnson, and
declares chat the convention will select
good and capable men for Administrators,
judges and like important Offices, without
regard to party affiliations and with an eye
single to the public interest" Where, in
the proceedings Of the Democratic and
Liberal conventions, is any such iberality,
and patriotism evinced? The Republicans
have a due sense Of the obligations Of
party ties; but they do not mean that they
shall be drawn to the detriment of the
public interest.
Actuated by these views, we have an
abiding confidence that the deliberations
Of the Republican convention will result
in putting forward a ticket in every way
worthy Of support, and which will COM
mand the confidence of the entire COM
munity.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-10-18

have until the Republicans destroyed and
ruled out their ancient traditions, the
party stood together in solid unity, dan
gerous to the country from its seeming in
competence to learn what the world knew
to be true, and from It's power over large
masses Of the people. Now that the
Democrats have no principles, the party
is rapidly falling to pieces, Notwithstanding
the public plumber is as plainly in sight as
it ever was. Every political party must
have a leading principle upon which to
base its strength, and when it can not show
to its followers some great purpose to be
accomplished, it may then make up its
mind to go out Of business, No political
organization car exist and succeed by
merely pointing to the Offices and to the.
rewards to be derived from their posses
sion, as the Democracy has done in this
city for the last four years. The eco
besiye power Of public plunder" may com
bine the Office holders, but these latter
must either announce a great principle,
or pretend to announce one, if they desire
to chain the people to their support. Let
the fusionists bear this in mind that IN
til they discover and announce a prinei-
pie that proposes to help mankind, they
need not make any exertion to capture
the people by merely pointing to some
advantage which they desire to obtain for
thero,s nluas

one, is not the presumption logical one
that he would carry into public employ
ment the same ability and capacity for
which he is remarkable in private station?
No doubt he would. But he has only lived
here four years, which is a grave defect;
and he is too poor to be a genuine tax re-
sister, which is fatal. Let the property
owners be called upon to define their posi-
lions. Are they determined that none but
those who are rich are to be eligible to Of
fee? If they dare to make such an issue
they will soon find they have made seri-
Gus mistake, for they are far from being in
the majority.
We have no doubt the Republican con-
yention now in session will, before it ad-
journs, submit the names Of candidates
for Office who do not own enough prop
,erty to make them taxpayers directly, but
who pay on an average ten or fifteen dol
lars per month in additional rent to some
OF our tax resisters, who are careful to i'm
pose and collect their taxes from their
tenants, but neglect to pay them into the
public treasures. There are men in this
city who actually live and support their
families off the money wrung from their
tenants under the pretense Of taxes, but
which they never pay to the State and
city. These are the tax resisters who now
advance the preposterous claim that the
power and patronage Of the government
be given to them, that they may get
richer, while they take good care that the
poor shall grow poorer. When such men
become 50 numerous that they constitute
the dominant class, they may have it all
their own way, while poor men can do
nothing but submit or leave the State, but
until that unfortunate day shall come, it
will not be easy to cry down an energetic,
faithful, intelligent man merely because
he is not rich.

HONESTY.

If the great fusion movement fails, as it
seems destined to do, the verdict of the
community will be that it died from want Of
what its authors were constantly in search
Of, ''good, honest men" The demand
for this article was in eyerybody'g mouth.
Every man who had a point to make
clinched his requisition by saying that all
he wanted was '*good, honest man. ;"
The orators advertised it from the hun
dred stumps that grow in the country
and from the scores Of platforms that
have been built in the city. Newspapers
dilated upon the necessity day after day.
The vilest and the best chorused the cry,
and perhaps the vilest were the most en-
phatic. Tie delegate with Parish
Prison record and a Penitentiary horo-
scope wanted good; honest men all the
time, and his burgIarious hands thumped
the demand upon the desk with uproar-
ious vehemence. Gentlemen Of unexcep-
tionable character were cast in the shade
by jail birds in their soIicitude about re-
form and honesty, and thus fell victims to
the snares ofthe fowlers they did not know.
Notwithstanding this intense desire for
honesty, Notwithstanding fusion and CON-
Citation were solely invented to secure
good, honest men, even the manufac-
turers Of party candidates are compelled
to confess they have not succeeded in
turning out the article they wanted. We
have number Of nominees whose fidelity
to honesty is not such as to command the
public confidence and support Even the
two great parties are destroying the fusion
they were at SO much expense Of time and
labor to build up, because the cornerstone
called honesty is either missing or badly
adjusted.
Is this sad result owing to the lack Of
honesty in the community, or does il ema-
nate from the incapacity Of the political
architects to detect the true article? Is
the fusion party without tie material to
furnish good, honest men from, or is it
too weak Of eyesight to discover such men
upon inspecting the offerings in open
market? It is very necessary to know
whether we are short of this virtue, or if |
it is hunted for careIessIy.
