POLITICAL NOTES..

Congressman Charles W. willard who represents
the First district OF Vermont, says there was no
more necessity OF increasing the salary OF the
President than there was OF increasing that OF Con-
gressmen. This is a direct dig at the President
from q republican Represen tative as by drawing
his salary and returning It to the Treasury MIR.
willard gave evidence that in his opinion there
was necessity for increase on the part OF either
the President or OF congressman
The Boston TrdceteT, which is not a very warm
friend OF Governor washburn says that the only
way he can secure his election Is by coming out
over his own signature and declaring that he
will veto any bill to modify the prohibtory law. It
is more than probable that Governor Washburn
will not follow the advice Of the TfaUetler, and II he
did 1t would be very little service to him, as
CASTOR has already secured the temperance vote.
There is considerable doubt among the politicians
of Virginia as to which party Ex-Governor Henry
A. Wise will give his support
James Mitchell Hpple, alias James Nipple Mitch
ell, Eugene Casssry, Governor Newton Booth Goat
Island and the Pacific Railroad, have got politics
pretty well mixed IN Oregon and California. 1t is
difficult to tell which is the republican and which
the democratic party.
E. N Frisbe, of Emira, will make hard push for
the New York State Senatorshp in the Twenty
seventh district.
Percy Bysche Shelley Pinchback, colored, OF Lou
isiana, says he will have his seat In the United
States Senate or he will have fuss.
Four State conventions Will be held to-day, VIZ.
The New York State Negro Convention az Utica,
the Liberal Republican State Convention OF Mime
sofa, at st. Paul the Republican State Convention
OF New York, at Utica, and the democratic and
Liberal Republican State Convention OF Wisconsin,
at Milwaukee.

RUSTIC DECORATION.

NO more tasteful ornaments can be add
ed to the decoration of dining room or
parlor than rustic basket filed with nat
ural and growing plants, and nothing of
equal beauty is less extensively made.
For simple hanging basket. the materials
needed are wooden bowl about six inches
In depth, and from foot to eighteen
inches in diameter; a few bits Of red cedar
with the bark left on; some gnarled pieces
OF root, and yard or two Of rattan. The
cedar is cut in proper lengths, and nailed
with fine brads to the outside of the bowl
in any tanciful pattern-the rougher the
better. The bits of root are fastened to
the bottom to serve as finish, and the
rattan is attached to the edges as ham
die. Any florist will fill the basket with
ivy, ferns, ETC., for small sum, and the
miniature conservatory, with little care,
will flourish through the whole winter.
Any design, however elaborate, can be
easily constructed. No fear need be en-
that growing plants in the house
are in any wise deleterIous to health.
Flowers of strong perfume are sometimes
to persons Of delicate tenn
permanent, but growing vegetation which
gives off oxygen during the day, and alb
serbs carbonic acid gas, rather improves
than otherwise the air of room. The
beauty Of the ornament is increased by
the cage of birds. the design of which
may of course be varied to suit the taste.
The globe of fish, in which, by the exer-
else Of little ingenuity. small fountain
may be arranged, will further tend to pu-
rify the atmosphere by absorbing the small
portion of carbonic acid which the plants
exhale during the night. Scientific amer

A HIVE OF BEES In THE DEAD LETTER
OFFICE.


Among the unmaiable matter sent to
The Dead Letter Office few days ago,
was package about ten inches in length
by iour in width, which, upon being
opened. proved to be a small hive of bees.
The pine box in which they were inclosed
was perforated with twenty-four auger
holes, twelve on each side. The bees
Were IN these, each hole having a sponge
IN it saturated with some kind Of sac
charine matter for the sustenance of the
occupants. These little cells or holes
were covered with fine wire to prevent
the escape of the bees. which appeared to
be IN good state Of preservation, buzzing
around in their narrow confines in quite q
lively manner. They were evidently sent
by some bee dealer to a customer or friend,
the package, however, having no mark.
What disposition will be made of them re-
mains to be seen.
