ABOUT GRAFTING.-There are many curl.
ous facts. about vegetable life. We can, for
example, graft the apricot on the plum, and
the peach on the apricot, ard the almond on
the peach, and thus we may produce tree
with plum roots and almond leaves The
wood, however, of the stem will consist Of
four distinct varieties, though formed from
one continuous layer Below the almond
wood and bark we shall have perfect peach
wood and bark, then perfect apricot wood and
bark, and at the bottom perfect plum wood
and bark. In this curious instance we see
the intimate correspondence between the
bark and leaf, for if we should remove the
almond branches we might cause the several
each Of its own kind. Each section of the
compound stem has its seat of life in the
cambium layer and the cambium out of each
reproduces cells Of its own species out OF
common nutrient tluid.-HasS PloughmaH.

Morton in the place Of cass, Stewart Of Nevada,
In the place of Douglas; Salisbury in the place
of Chase, and Ferry, of Michigan, in the place
OF Sam Houston, Of Texas. The only member
of the Senate Of 1850 now in the floor Is Ham
lin, OF Maine, though the venerable Cameron
was a Senator from 1915 TO 1S49.
The reconstruction of the Senate lacks only
o colored member or two to be as marked as
the reconstruction of the South. And If we
have no more Clays, Websters, or BeEtons, we
have in Edmunds, Conkling, Boutwell,, Nor
ton, Thurman, Gordon and others all the need
full elements for the unitarian age we live in
of law, history, science, poetry, eloquenee and
twaddle. In reference to our political parties,
this senatorial contest on the currency marks
the transition to reorganization, and the re-
organization will first appear In at least three
parties in the coming fall elections. The Sem
ate, meantime, IS greatly improved, in becom-
ing body Of free isSa.e.s and Of comparative
ly Independent men.

The Transformation scene presented between
the Senate as II was in 1850 and the Senate as
1t is in 1871 to looker-on from the galleries
who passed through the protracted struggle on
cording to the distribution Of the Senators of
1850 In the old chamber we find the portly
Pratt, of Indiana, ip the place of Henry Clay,
Carl Schurz in the place Of Webster, Sherman
in the place of Clinton, the substantial states
man of Kentucky in the place Of Benton, Bay
ard of Delaware, in the place Of JEFF Davis; the
vacant chair Of sumner in the place of Seward,

Nevertheless, the time expended in these
tedious debates has not been wholly profitless,
though most of it may be charged to bum
eombe. Equality, now the supreme law Of the
cordingly every Senator claiming q hearing
must be heard, and every member undertaking
speech thinks he can enlighten the body or
crafty his constituents. Thus at least the
differences to be adjusted are understood; and
thus, as party lines have disappeared in this
controversy, there is the prospect of compro-
mise, based, regardless of party considerations,
upon the general interests of the country. At
ali events, without recognized leader, Repub-
lican or Democratic, In this debate, and with
out any party line Of action, the Senate has
been drifting to settlement.

THE ART OF DINING.

"a dinner party" says q writer, sis Q crucical
test of ones breeding and savoir fare. Persons
may conduct themselves with selfposssssion and
ease upon every other occasion, and mortify them
selves by the commission Of Cemeteries at the din
ner table; and 1t is q place where any solecsm in
etiquette is very conspiculously noticed. The po-
siton Of hostess is particular trying to novice as
the enjoyment of her guests is dependent almost
entirely upon her foresight and tact, and these
qualities are called into requisiton from the very
moment she decides upon giving dinner party.
Great discretion and care should be exercised in
the selection of her guests, in order that those
who are brought together may be, as much as pos
sible, Of congenial minds. The menu Of her dinner
may include the most expensive dishes, and these
may be served In an eKquisitely faultless manner;
but If the conversation should prove spiritess and
dull and her guests should not appear at their
ease the hostess canot fatter herself that her en-.
tertainment is o success"
