previous numbers issued The illustra-

Mr.. Eick remarks Thirteen years
ago we published the first No. OF the
Floral Guide. 1t was moderate in size,
modest in appearance, and the number
issued was only few thousands. Our
long connection with the Horticultural
Press has made us familiar with the
condition of American taste, and the
wants and wishes of the lovers Of flow
ers. 1t may also have given the people
some confidence in our ability to teach
them wisely. From the first we deter
mined to make the Guide worthy OF snc-

satisfactory" And we now remark

HOG KILLING TIME-AN ANCIENT ST
prrsrIT1oy.-A letter from Caroline
county, in the Fredericksburg Herald,
says: =,
In about ten days the moon will be
all right for hog-killing. Those people
who want fat, juicy and good bacon for
next year, let them take heed. Pork
killed on a decreasing moon dries up,
and becomes stringy and leather-like; it
will not season cabbage well. That
there is authority ample for this belief
about the influence Of the moon, L could
refer you to the proceedings Of the great
Amphietyonia Council of Nieuw Neder-
landts, fully set out by Washington 1rv-
ing in his history of New York, when
such Governors as William kiett Wou-
ter, Van Twiller aud others, as we are
informeh, were 'doomed to contend
with enemies too knowing to be entrap-
ped, and to reign over people too
wise to be governed" l need not have
referred you to authority so ancient as
| have to prove the control her ladyship,
the moon, has upon this matter of hog
killing and bacon making. There are
now living in our State numbers OF men
young and old, who bear witness to the
necessity, if you would have good meat
another year, meat that pumps out
when cooked, you must kill on an in
creasing, but better still, on a full moon
My grandfather told me himself that he
knew it was so, that he had watched
the moon upon this subject for sixty
years. Mountain people, touched with
German blood, never kill hogs except
when the moon is right, and | have al
ways remarked they have fatter and lar
ger meat the following summer thanthe
lank, lean gentry, who turn up their
noses or smile with contempt at this
time honored and time-tested belief.
These lank, lean doubters never do raise
enough for their families, and are gene
rally hard put up to get lard for biscuit.
The holders of the true faith always
have enough and to spare.

Hon. D. w. VOORHEES, RETIREs
FRoM PoInCs.- ID. w. voorhees,
of Indiana, has announced his intention
to retire from politics, saying that on
the questions to arise new men will be
needed. In conversation recently he
made the following statement
Il have made my last political speech
before the people, and / am glad Of it.
The pleasure of pursuing my private
concerns as a citizen il exceedingly
grateful TO my feelings, more 50 than
You can conceive. / went early into
politics. / might have been elected TO
Congress at twenty-five; had my age
allowed | should have been. l have
been nine years at Washington. and
know all about it. / have fought my
battles as / conceived TO be right But
all the old issues have passed away, and
hencetorth new ones will aiise. And
upon the new questions new set of
men will be demanded by the people.
Some old politicians try to force them
selves into notice after their day has
gone by, bat it is very unwise. Parties
will be changed in effect, but not in
name perhaps. The democratic party
will liberallze its organization and if
it is done wisely, so as to unite the ele-
ments of disaffection against the present
order, they may be able to elect Pres
ident. The name need not necessarily
be changed, but the party must be es-
sentialIy new one.
