Plants in Rooms.
WINDOW GARDENING ILLUSTRATED.

WINDOW GARDENING ILLUSTRATED.
The chief use Of flowers is to beauti-
fly our homes, hence it is proper to use
them within doors as well rs without /;
and nothing adds moro to the cheerful
appearance of our parlor or sitting-room
than a few nice plants and flowers, es-
pecially in the dull season of winter.
All who love flowers and their culture
are desirious Of saving some of their
pets from the nipping frosts of autumn,
and enjoying them within doors when
all outside have persisted. This is not
so easily done in this rigorous climate
as in milder regions, still it is not very
difficult task, especially in well con-
structed houses, and with a judicious
selection of plants.
Mr. Wick in his Floral Guide for 1873,
gives the following hints and illustra-
tons on this topic
Plants in the house afford the most
pleasure in the winter season when all
is dreary without. In summer the gar
dens furnishes abundance of flowers
for decoration but birth days and
festivals and company will come in
winter as well as in summer. There
are times, too, when the gardens can
not be visited by any, and very often
there are members of the family who
seldom enjoy this privilege.
In regard to house plants, [ would
remark that few plants can endure the
high temperature and dry atmosphere
of most of our living rooms. The tenn
perature should not be allowed to go
above seventy in the day time, and not
below forty in the night. AS much all
and light as possible should be given,
while the leaves should be sprinkled
frequently. A spare room, or parlor,
or extra bedroom, is better for plants
than a living room. A bay window
connected with warm room, especially
if facing South or East, makes an ex.
cellent place for keeping plants in win
ter 1t should have glass doors on the
inside, which con be closed o part
of the time especially when sweeping
aad busting. The main thing in keep
ing house plants in health is to secure
an even temperature, moist atmos
phere and freedom from dust. Sprinkle
the leaves occasionally, and when water
is needed use it freely. If the green
fly, or aphis, appears, wash with soap
suds frequently, and occasionally witt
a little tobacco water, or decoction O.
quassia chips. Occasionally but no
often, worms appear in the pots. This
can be avoided in a great measure BY
careful potting. A little weak lime
water is sometimes of benefit in sucl
cases, also five drops of liquid ammoni;
to a gallon of water, though, perhaps
the better way is to re-pot, removing
the earth carefully, SO as not to injur'
the growth Of the plant.

UNPAID POSTAGE Attorney Gen
eral of the United States has sent to
Postmaster General Creswell an opinion
to the effect that the section of the Pos
tai act, which has been constructed by
the Post Office Department warranting
the collection of double the amount Of
unpaid postage, is not in accordance
with the spirit of the act The Attor-
ney General plainly says that only the
amount of unpaid postage can be law
fully collected.

RAILROAD AcCDKNIs.-The number
Of railroad accidents in December last

The effect Of plants in rooms is very
much increased by tasteful accessories
as pot covers and brackets, neat

bronzed iron, can be placed in almost
any position, and are joined SO as to
turn easily towards the light or the

New York, 25. Richard NJ. Tweed, when
justlfying as surety tor his fathers bail bond,
tor a million dollars, exhibited a long list of
valuable New York real estate, which he ad-
mitted had been convey ed to him by his father
tor consideration. On Saturday he con-
veyed over to various other parties property
TO the value of S7S5 900. The Sun SAYS the

this action, and the effect of this wholesale
conveying upon his own responsibility as a
surety tor his father is subject for the con-
sideration of the lawyers.

to the BRUSH legation at Washington, died a

would have witnessed fewer scenes calculated
to briug them into disgrace.

the 20th the day Of sailing of the Crescent
