ElOrIculfure.

We select for the benefit of our lady
readers, the following instructions upor
the culture of winter gardens:
The plants that are intended for winter
Towering should all be repotted and pre-.
pared for their permanent quarters as
early as possible, SO as to become fully
established in the pots before the season is
cold and gloomy. The roots must be
attended to, and if they cling to the surface
Of the pot, one of q larger size should be
substituted, and fresh earth given. Be
sure to procure coed soil and to press il
tightly about the roots and crown of the
plant.
Do not attempt to cultivate too many
plants, remembering that one strong,
handsolne-shaped, healthy plant is worth
more than ten or twelve sickly things that
are lank, scraggv, and never blossom.
Give your plants the morning sunshine.
1t is far better than the afternoon, and if
the windows open both to the east and
southwest so much the better for the plants
at both windows; yet, if no other location
can be procured the afternoon sun is better
THAI none at all.
Never use glazed pots or crockery and
painted ware, unless the common pots are
set into them for ornamental purposes.
Stimulate once a week with some one Of
the various liquid manures. Avoid ex-
tremes of cold and heat, and give all the
air that is allowable, according to the tenn
perature out of doors.
Sprinkling must be given once day. If
the pots are thoroughly washed with soap
suds all tendency to green mold will be
prevented.
Make the water that is given warmer
now than in summer. Put your finger in
the saucer and see how cold it is when it
drains through the outlet, and if quite cold
give water of greater warmth.
Plants that are in a state of rest should
have but very little water during the au-
tumn.
The tulip is so perfectly hardy, flourish
ing so well under the most ordinary care,
and is SO varied and brilliant, that it never
fails to give the greatest satisfaction.
Any good garden soil will do for the
tulip. A rich soil is not necessary, though
well rotted manure, rotted sods, or leaf
mold may be applied when the earth is
poor. See that the drainage is good before
planting. Plant in October and Novem-
Der. Make the soil fine and deep. Set
the early Towering kinds five inches apart,
and the late varieties six inches. Cover
three inches deep.

DEATH OF A FORMER CITIZEN
Joseph Brummel, esq.,, former well
known citizen of Richmond. and an ex.
member of the we'll known mercantile
firm of Stearns & Brummel, died few
days ago, in the sixty-third year of his
age, at Augusta, Georgia. Mr.. Brummel
retired from business in this city with
an ample competence, but business com.
plications afterward, chiefly through sup.
posed friends, reduced him to poverty.
He was good citizen and we regret
his death.

THE idea that it is the duty of the city
to furnish work for all persons out of
employment is unsound, and must be defi-
nitely discarded. Too large proportion
of our people are crowded into the cities
already, and the finding of work by
municipalities, irrespective of any legiti-
mate jobs to do, places premium upon
idleness, and would devote the resources of
communities already overtaxed, to the
accumulation of additional elements that
are Improbable and would speedily be-
come dangerous Cincinnati Commercial.

INTERESTING LAW CAsE.--The com
monwealth has brought suit, in the county
court OF Essex, against one, George r.
Stevens and A. d. johnson, who acted as
sheriff and deputy of Essex county il
1869, by appointment of General Candy,
for misapplication Of funds collected by
them. Both defendants have long since
left the state for parts unknown. Stevens
is colored man, and his securities reside
in Richmond. The defence, represented
by Major John Johns, of this city, take
the position that Stevens never was sheriff
Of Essex county, not having qualified in
the proper court, that the bond executed
before the circuit court of the city OF
Richmond was not statutory bond, and
that the commonwealth could not recover
under the statute.
On the other hand it was shown that
Stevens had been recognized by the county
court of Essex as sheriff, that the record
of his qualification had been transmitted
to the court and was filed in the clerk IS
office, and the act of Congress authorizing
the military commander to appoint was
also introduced in evidence. The court
took the case and will decide it in
vacation,

Look Our, SAMPLE MERCHANTS -
Sample merchants and the public generally
will remember that not long since sam
pie merchant was before Judge Bond on a
writ of habeas corpus, and from some
cause the case was not tried, but it was
thought that his opinion was adverse to the
constitutionality of the law. Since that
time number of persons have been ar
rested as sample merchants and some of
them have been fined for violation of the
city ordinance, and discharged without any
action being taken in reference to the state
law. We are informed on reliable au-
thority that the state law is still in statu
quo, and that all parties who have been
fined for violation Of the city ordinance, are
yet liable to arrest and fine for not having
state license, as the law in regard to the
state license has not been tested. The state
commissioner has been ignored by sample
merchants, they utterly refusing to take out
a state license, and the state losing the
amount through the misunderstanding of
some of the city's officials. n word to
the wise, &c.

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD
FINANCEs.-The success of President
Huntington, OF this road, in carrying out
its scheme to fund its bonds in order to
proceed with the heavy operations of the
road and the completion Of its western
connections, which are Indispensable to
that high degree of activity and prosperity
which the company itself and all of its
friends have so confidently anticipated for
it, has been signally gratifying in its abun-
dant success. The scheme embraced a
plan for funding the coupons on the bonds
of the road, holders of over four
millions of dollars of which have signified
their assent to the proposition. At the
suggestion of some of the largest holders
of the bonds it has been proposed that
instead of an absolute surrender of the
coupons to the company they should be
placed in escrow, SO that should fore
closure under either of the mortgages on
the road occur the coupons will still be
entitled to their liens under the mortgage.
Of course as interest is paid on the income
bonds an equal amount OF the coupons
held in escrow will be cancelled and deliv-
cred to the company.
