GROWING THE RosE.-City Hall was filled
with an appreciative audience last evening to
listen to the sweet voices of the young ladies
of the Second Parish Society, in the cantata OF
Geo. F. Root, entitled ''Crowning the Rose"
The thirty-six young ladies were very Hastily
appareled and moved with ease and grace up
on the stage. We were struck with the full
ness and richness of several of the voices 1t
is impossible, among so many, with SO much
that is attractive, for us to discriminate. Inc
whole entertainment was success. The pleas
ing and novel sight witnessed around the ira
ditional May pole drew forth rounds of APP
plause In the ante-rooms were spread out
tables upon which were displayeda large vari-
ETY. of fancy articles that were for sale. The
refreshment tables were literally patronized.
We are informed that the young ladies have
generously volunteered to repeat the cantata
this evening at City Hall for the benefit of the
Hospital Fair. The ladies Of the Parish will
furnish the refreshment tables, the proceeds of
which will go into the Parish fund.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD DECISION
The Supreme Court of Illinois has just
rendered a decision in a case involving the
constitutionality of what is known as the
railroad law of the State-a law regulat-
ing passenger and freight tariffs on the
various railroads Of the State. The case
was appealed from one of the Circuit
Courts, where a decision was rendered
against the Chicago and Alton Railroad
Company in a suit to recover damages for
Noncompliance with the law. The Su-
preme Court decides that the law is un-
constitutional, inasmuch as it prohibits
any discrimination in fixing the rates Of
freights but the court holds that the
Legislature has undoubted right to con-
troll the railroads in the matter by pro-
viding against any unjust discrimination.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

GONE BACK ON ITSELF. = A few
months ago, when the Sacramento I'M
ion formally took its departure from the
Republican fold and declared in favor OF
Peoples Party, the Republican press
of this State, with one accord said "good
riddance to bad rubbish" and tried and
true members of the Republican organ
ization shouted "Amen !" The Union
now finds that that the new party with
which it proposed to wipe all others out
of existence is destined to remain in an
embryo state, and well knows that any
further effort to bring it into being will
prove a disastrous abortion. Stung to
the quick by this evidence Of its own in
capacity to ruin the dominant party in
this State by means Of third organza-
ton, the Union assumes to be still Re-
publican paper and vilely accuses those
journals which stood firmly by the Re-
publican colors, Of attempting TO read
the Union out of the party. As well at
tempt to expel a man from society after
he had withdrawn of his own free will
and accord.

IMPORTATION OF CooLIEs.-From time
to time, since his return to Washington,
we have noticed that Hon. John NJ. Cogh-
Ian has been laboring faithfully for his
bill to prevent the importation Of Coolies
in the United States. This bill is famil-
lar to our readers and was the most prac-
ticable measure yet proposed to relieve
white workingmen from competition with
Chinese. Its fate for this session, however,
is found in the following Washington
dispatch of Feb. 25th
In the House yesterday, the Committee
on Education and Labor asked unani-
nous consent to report Coghlan's bill
prohibiting contracts for service and la
Dor, but Beck objected, and the bill was
not received.
Even though the bill for the present is
dead, too much credit cannot be given to
our able representative for his labors in
its behalf. In its introduction and his
strenuous advocacy Of this bill, Mr..
Coghlan has indeed shown himself to be
the friend of the laboring man.

Fraudulent Substitution.

A typical case is one recorded in con-
nection with tho celebrated Jean Maria
Farina, the inventor OF the famous Eau
dc Cologne. Tho following character
istic story is current. ALondon dealer
in perfumes, it is said, betook himself
to Cologne, with view of purchasing
plentiful stock Of the genuine article,
On arriving he found the old town
swarming with jean Marias, each and
all of them pretending to be the genuine
descendants of the original inventor,
and OF course the sole possessors Of the
important secret. What should lie do Z
How was it possible for him to select
the right man among so many? After
long bordering the matter, he makes
up his mind. He goes to one Of the
most respectable looking establish
ments, introduces himself to the pro.
prietor, and after little preliminary
chat, enters on business. This portly
German assures him he has applied TO
the right man; but these assurances do
not altogether allay the suspicious Of
the Englishman. Tho latter, notwith.
standing, buys to moderately large
amount, rccOivesan inyoiceof the goods,
and hands over check for the sumdue.
"Now," thinks he, "this plausible fell
low will be frank enough TO tell me the
truth, seeing that he las my money"
and lie puts the question to him
"Are you really and truly the actual
proprietor of this property-the lawful
inheritor of the original Jean Maria
or are you not? You sec, we have done
our business; you have the cash, and
may tell me tho truth" The other
hem'd and coughed and strokel his
moustachc, bowed grnciously, washed
his hands with invisible soap in imper-
ccptible water, us Hood lias it, md ut
length with a kind of greasy smile, and
q manifest seeming reluctance, nc
knowledgcd that there was-yes, lie was
Obliged to confess That there was-Onc,
only one, person in Cologne who had n
claim for priority over himself. I" You
will give me his address ?" said the
Englishman. "Ccrtninly, as you have
so literally dealt with me" He hand
ell over the address. The Englishman
babe him farewell, and driving OF to
the place at once, there mNdelarge pur-
clascs to ten times the amount ut least
which he had paid to his informant,
and then returned well pleased to his
hotel, considering that, on tho whole,
he Ind transacted his business satisiac-
torily. But while dining Mt his hotel,
he fell into conversation with n CONT
mental traveller, WHO knew Cologne well
and all the ms md outs of the traffic
there carried on. The Londoner made
contidnnt of his new acquaintance and
informed lin somewhat boAstfnlly OF
the shrewd transaction Of tho morning,
"oh!" said the other, sit is really &
pity to disabdso you; but you have
been little too fast--botll tic houses
you have dealt with to-day belong to tht
same proprietor he is very clever
fellow, assure YOU.

Canned Peas.

Tho American Grocer remarks that
tho process OF canning peas does not
destroy their flavor in the least. 1t,
however, takes from them their pretty
green color, and tliey become a grayish
pale green, which, to some, appears OBJ
jectionable; and to obviate That the
manufacturers have !esortGd to aprocess
OF artiiicially greening them, which,
however it may improve their appear
ance, is decidedly u most pernicious
practice, for not only does it take from
them their delicious flavor, but makes
them exceedingly injurious to those
who partake Of them. 10 such MI ex-
tent has this practice been carried on,
and SO notable have been its perniciOus
effects, that the French Government
have passed very stringent laws prohib-
iting the sale OF such vegetables, arti.
ticially grecncd, in that country. The
goods arc, however, still put up Ia a
very great extent and sent to this coun-
try, and people, in most cases, believe
them to be tho finest goods, because
they bring the highest price and have
the finest color. There is one test,
however, by which they can quickly de-
eide between the peas Of natural colol
and those artiiicially grGcned, and thai
is, to taste them. They will find tho
greenGl ones fAvorless.

How the spldcr splns.

Most people hive too great mn nm.
tipathy to spiders to spend even few
minutes in watching them, But we
must confess that We rather cultivate
their acquaintance, Ms they catch and
dcvour our enemies, the flies. Tho
spinning apparatus OF q spider is very
curious. On tho under part Of the
body are several small promincnccS COY.
cred witt, many hundreds OF small
holes, through which exudes n gummy
substance which hardens on exposure
to the mir. Thus each little hele pro-
duceS thread Of inconccivhble fine
ness and when these many threads
arc joined together, they form what we
SEQ as n single thread. Whom spider
wishes to form u web, il Ito belongs to
the race OF geomotrical spiders, which
build wlleol-shaped web, ho selects
some convenient place, and proceeds to
lay tho foundation by attaching the
spokes OF his wheel to proper objects /:
he then commences nj tho centre formed
by the crossing OF these lines and trav.
els round aud round, spinning his web,
employing his ieclers as guides rs to
distance. He always uses the outer
web MS a pathway, and every time he
crosses ono Of the spokcs he attaches
his line to it. When lie has finished,
he takes his position ut the centre, head
downward, and waits for the unlucky
insect which he is sure will soon happen
along. AS soon MS he pcrceiycs that
some awkward fly has run against his
delicate framework, no bonuces out on
him and quickly ties him fast hand and
foot, SO that he may dcvour him OF
leisure. But il is not alone for laying
traps Ind tying fast his unlucky victims
TINT tho spider uses his web. II he
wants to cross from one tree to another,
or from one side Of stream to the OPP.
posite, he uses the web for bridge.
This he constructs by taking favorable
position and then spinning web, which
hc let's float in the wind. As soon Ms il
strikes some object towhich it ndheres,
he pulls it, to see that it is secure, and
then crosses on this single line. This
is an achievement in engineering that
far surpasses the suspension bridges
built by human skill. Here isa bridge,
oftentiincs from fifty to one hundred
feet long, spun by so insignificant nm
insect that We mny have some trouble
to find him, yet strong enough to bear
his weight safely. When spider
wishes to descend from MI elevation, he
attaches the end of his web to some OBJ
ject and then boldly launches of, spin.
ming rs he goes. When he gets down,
he cuts the line and leaves Il, unless he
wishes to return Immediately, in which
case he coils it up and takes it nlong as
he asconds.
