English Ivy.

The use of English ivics for the pur-
pose ofdccorating living rooms is more
extensive every year and cannot be to
highly commended. Being very strong,
they will live through almost any treat
mcnt; but study their pcculiaritics,
and manifest u Willingness to crafty
them and they will grow without
stint. Most houses are too hot for them
as indeed they arc for their owners.
Neither plants nor people should have
the average temperature over sixty
five degrees Fahrenheit. Take care
and not cnfccblc your ivicS by undue
heat or excessive watering, and you
will find they will not seem to mind
whether the sun shines on them or not,
or in what position or direction you
train them. Indeed, so much will they
do themselves to render II room charm
ing, that we would rather have an
unlimited number of them to draw up
on than anything else in nature or
art. DO you wish the ugly plain doors
that shut Off your tiny entry from your
parlOr to be arch"d or curved like those
in the drawing room of you richer
neighbour. Buy ~ couple of brackets,
such as lamps for the burning Of kcro-
senc are sometimes placed in, and
screw them on the sides of the door.
Put in each Il plant of English ivy, tn"
longer the better; then train the piant@
over the top, against the sides, indeed
any way your fancy dictates. You
need not buy the beautiful and costly
pots the flower dealer will advise; com
mon glazed ones will answer every pur-
pose, for by placing in each two or three
sprays of Coliseum ivy, ina month";
time no vcstigc of the pot itself can be
disccrnrd through their thick screen.

OF all parts OF the body there is not
one which ought to be so carefully at
tended to as the feet. Every person
knows from experience that colds, and
many other diseases which proceed
from the same, are attributable to cold
feet. The feet are at such Il distance
from sstlle wheel at the cistern'' of the
system that the circulation of the blood
may be very easily checked in them.
Yet, for all this-and although every
person of common sense should be
aware OF the truth of what we have
stated-there is no part of the body so
much tritled with as the feet. The
young and would-bc gcntccl-footcd
cranp their feet into thin-solcd, bone
pinching boots, in order to display neat
feet ,in the f;,shiEtble sense of the term.
Now this is very wrong. In cold
weather boots Of good thick leather,
both in soles and uppers, and large
enough to give free circulation OF the
blood in the feet, should be worn by
all. They should be watcr-iight. II
Injuries the feet to wear an :ir-tiyht COW
ering over them. India rubber shoe-
or boots should not be worn except in
wet and slushy wcathcr,nnd then taken
off as soon as the exposure to it is over.
No part of the body should have IL
covering that entirely obstructs the
passage of the carbonic acid gas from
the pores Of the skin outwaros, and the
moderate passage of the air inwnrds to
the skin. Life can be destroyed in Il
very short time by stopping these little
pores of the skin. There is one great
evil against which every person should
be on guard and it is one that is seldom
guarded against. We mean the chang
ing of warm for cold shoes or boots. a
change is often made from thick to
thin-soled shoes. without rejecting up
on the consequences that might cnsuc.
1t is Il dangerous practice, and many
an individual has suffered hours of ILL
ness because Of it.

A Mule In Chancery.

\ certain colored planter in our par
ish worked under difficulties year be-
fore last, contracted heavy debts, failed
to pay up and confessed Judgment in
favor Of three of his creditors for about
the SUM of one thousand dollars indebt-
eaness. His property consisted in part
of n certain mule. Last year he leased
some land to continue his farming OPP
erations, and about the time he ceased
to use his mule on his farm, he sold
said mule to an ordinary creditor to pay
debt contracted with him last year,
and under the agreement of sale re-
tanned the mule to use until the end
of the year. n short time after this he
sold the same mule to another ordinary
creditor who lived some distance off
and at the same time delivering the
mule. Now the man to whom the
mule was first sold sues this last named
party for the mule, and one of the judg-
ment creditors seiZes tho mule as the
property of the colored man to pay his
debt. In the meantime the mule gets
out Of the purchasers lot and goes back
to the farm on which he had been
worked-just in time to be seized by
the lessee for rent. The Judgment
creditor still holding his seizure and
contending that the colored man had
ulaue no Nallu SAFE, ouVertlSeS the sale.
The party who claims to have been the
first purchaser cnjoins the sale of the
mule, and the lessee and second pur-
chaser intervene in the suit. And this
case was tried in the Parish Court, and
appealed to the District Court, and Il
trial by Jury asked for. Now who DO
you suppose will get that mule? In
justice to the colorod man we will here
state that he has never Us yet put in an
appearance in any of the proceedings
and up to date is perfectly passive on
the subject .-MOrcHOuSc Conservative.

Wants to Back Out...A Leap Year Story

a st. Joseph (Missouri) paper of the
Sd gives the following leap year incl
dent:
There was Il nice little party on We'd
nesday night at the residence of one
of the most respectable families in
South st. Joseph, and while the festiv-
tiles were progressing two charming
young ladies, sisters, took n pair of
young men by the arm, remarking
that as it was leap year they proposed
to insist on their prcrogatives, and de-
sired to ut once be married. n squire
was called for, and one was shortly
found in the person of our worthy con-
servator of the peace, Gus. Saltzman.
When this official presented HIM
self ready for the delicate business, one
of the couples, forthwith "backcd out;'
but the other stood their ground, and
the squire proceeded with the ceremo-
ny, asking the high contracting parties
several times during its progress if they
were really in earnest, to which Ques-
ton they gave each time an ntlirma-
tive reply. They We're thcreupon pro-
nounced man and wife.
After the party commenced to break
up to go home, the inspron,ptu groom
claimed his bride in all earnestness,
and insisted on taking her home with
him, but she demurred and tried to
treat the whole matter rs Il joke, but as
the young lady is of full age, and the
marriage appeared to be bona ,fde to all
the witnesses, they do say that this
young lady is legally and irrevocn bl y
the young mans wife and the best of
it is that the parents on both sides are
are willing to the match. The young
man belongs to not only a good, but
n wealthy family, and the young Ia
dy's people, though not so we'll Off in
a pecuniary point of view, are COM
fortably so, however, and are of the
highest respectability. How the affair
will "pan out" remains to be seem

Professor Henry says that the sob
servations of the Smithsonian Institute,
which extended over Il period of twca-
ty years, have as yet failed to confirm
the popular belief that the removal of
the forests and cultivation of the soil
tend to diminish the amount of rain
fall" 1t is not claimed that these con-
ditions diminished the amount of an
nual rainfall, but that the equality and
distribution thereof is disturbed, there
is no question.

4 Considerable Parent.

The Memphis Appeal, of the 10Th ul-
timo, says: GA person who farms for
n living, some distance from the city,
rode in II spring wagon into town yes
tcrday, bringing with him little son.
After figuring around for an hour or
two doing worldly business, he pulled
up in front Of grocery in the surburbs,
and went in to refresh and comfort
himself, leaving the boy to take care
of the horses. The man met some
companions indoors, with whom he
set about becoming convivial, aS is the
custom of those who congregate in the
suburban groceries. Time sped on,and
the boy in the wagon became numbcd
with the cold, and fell into II sort of
stupor. The dimes dropped from his
fingers, and the horses walked off.
When it was time to dispcr5c from the
grocery the excellent farmer and feel
ing parent could find neither wagon
nor boy. He spent the whole cvrninI:
looking for them in the city, and was
going home in Il la. t-cr:iIei state H.ira

THE CONSEQUENCES.

1t is curious as well as sad TO contem
plate the results, 50 far, Of the Passive
Policy and the nomination of Greeley aud
Brown at Cincinnati. That it has serious
ly dcmoralized the great democratic party
must be oonfessed-there is no use deny
ing it. This is what we feared from the
beginning and raised cur feeble voice
against it. The Missouri Republican, that
laid this potent egg of discOrd and confus-
lou, declared it contained nothing but the
very essence Of democracy, aud cackled
over it like an old Triumphant ben. At
once our suspicious were aroused. We
have found eggs, as white and fair looking,
amid the sands of our Soaihorn rivers,
laid by snakes and SWAPPING turtles. 1t
IS the Matching That shows the foul reptile
within. The passive egg has been deyel-
oped sufficiently 10 prove its character.
Let US look at the Consequent cs already.
The democracy are being sPlif and divided
everywhere
The Missouri Republican, the Cour ier-
Journal aud The Cincinnati Enquirer are
now openly Ia favor Of breaking up the
democratic organization, which a short
time since they profsssei to be SO
anxious to rrrscrvsaud are threaten

to abandon his party and swallow Greeley,

fry in this State, from the Galveston News

are following suit. They are acting as if
