matched in shade. Indeed, many ladies
are having hats made Of the material of the

large, full crown, surrounded with band
or torsade and ornamcnted with heron's
plume and n dagger, or buckle, or large
clasp of cut steel. The chesterfield"
handkerchief Of white twilled silk Is worn
around the throat. Gloves are perfectly
plain, with small gilt buttons for fas-
tening rivited in. Necklaces are disap-
pearing, but bracelets are worn upon the
upper as well as lower part of the arm in
evening dress. Small mask wells are re-
vived, bordered with fine jet fringe. Skirts

Growing Gala Lilies.

Not long since, says writer in the Hor-
tlculturist, 1 was at friends, and, In going
through her conservatory, was much struck
with the luxuriant growth OF a Gala. The
leaves were borne on stems three feet or
more in length, and such leaves never
dreamed that Gala leavescould grow so large
before. They were orthe richest green, too
and everything about the plant indicated
that 1t was in the most perfect health. 1t
had one bud on a stalk three feet long,
which was as large as any Gala buds had
ever been when they had attained full
growth, and were ready to unfold and this
bud was hardly half matured, thus giving
promise of becoming an immense. flower If
nothing happened TO prevent its develop
ing. l asked the secret of such magnih-
cent success in Gala growing, and my
friend told mo in what it consisted. In
June she takes her callas out of doors, and
turns the pots containing them over on
their sides under tree, or in some shady
place, and there she leaves them through
the hot summer months, giving them no
attention whatever. OF course, the old
leaves die and drop off, and the Garth in
the pots bake into the consistency of brick;
one would think such harsh treatment
would be the death Of a flower, but, on the
contrary, the Gala likes II. In September
she brings the pots in, and begins to give
the plants water. A very short time suf-
fees to start them into growth. AS soon as
the leaves appear she makes the water
quite warm. Tho result is, that her callas
are superior 10 any ever saw before. She
boasts OF having larger flowers than any
ore else, and, judging from the size of the
half matured bud saw, she has founda-
ton for saying so. She tells me that her
callas are never without flowers through the
winter, often as many as four or five open
at once. She never removes the new ones
which form about the old plant, but, as
they grow, shifts the plants into large pots.

callas, that 1 want 10 have my friends try

The Temperance agitation now sweeping
over the country recalls the fact that it is
just thirty-nine years since the Rev. DIR.
Cheever published in newspaper in Sa-
lem, Massachusetts, that wonderful dream
OF Deacon Giles's Dfstalery. The doctor
was mobbed for it by the friends OF the
deacon" who was hit off in the article, and
was, besides, convicted OF libel, and sent
to the county Jail for thirty days. But the
"deacon's' business was destroyed, and
the nation laughed at the way 1t was done.
Hundreds of thousands of the pam hlet
were printed, and Europe as well as Amer
lea enjoyed the satire. Next TO Judas Is
carlot, "Deacon" Giles became the most
infamous man that had lived since the be-
glnningOf the Christian era. Deacons, as
a general thing, have gone out OF the whis-
key manufacturing business, godliness
and gin-making being deemed incompatl-
BILE, and the latter quite disreputable.

E.Hwyers and the bench.

The Gate Cltp takes this view Of
the seiection Of judicial candidates by
the Bar.
The lawyers at Des Moines have
had Mmeeting aud agreed to call a
lneesiiag of all the lawyersof that Ju-
dicial District, to select nominee
foa Judge, without regard to politics.
1t is all we'll enough to keep parti-
sanshlp out of judicicial matters,
probably, but if it is the business of
lawyers to choose a Judge, and the
people havn't sense enough to do it,,
then let us have law saying that
the people are to have no hand In the
matter: that the lawyers shall be au-
thorized to elect the judges. And to
have the thing completely fair, let
the law further declare that the law
yers slaall pay all the expenses OF
maintaining a judicial system: that
the people shall not be taxed for this
purpose. To our thinking the law
yers have the same right in selecting
a Judge as an equivalent number OF
other citizens: neither more nor less.
And we would prefer to trust the
equivalent number of other citizens.
Because our observation OF the action
OF lawyers in choosing a Judge has
nearly disclosed the primary purpose
of most of the lawyers to be the
whollyselfisir one of getting some
successful practitioner out Of the way
so they can have a chance at his
practice. Which isn't a very lofty
plane to build the selection of Judges
upon.

The State Journal, under Its new
management is Independent and 1t
isn't, and we cant make out its status.
Mr.. Edwards, the present owner and
editor, successor TO State Printing
Company, brings to his work expert
ence and ability, but in defining his
position he touches the keys in such
a hating, nervous and doubtful man
ner, as to give forth medley OF very
indefinite and unsatifactory sounds.
He declares his independence OF
party, while he recognizes the neces-
sity Of parties, and proposes to sup
port his party $50 long as the party
does right" He is right in saying
that parties "need watching and
criticising," and in refusing to "wear
the collar" tif he means in Its worst
sense, Of any man or party, but his
declaration Of "devotion to correct
principles is meaningless In these
times when every man who thinks
has his own ideas Of correct prinei-
pies" and those ideas, or whims, or
notions, may be different from
those held by any or all other indl-
yiduals. is the Journal on this side,

The Ottumwa Democrat, which
claims to be the special organ of
the Autobiography party of
Iowa, copies from another Demo-
cratic journal, in a conspicuous
place and with extraordinary dis
play, but without comment, the fol-
lowing Democratic boast, placing the
names of the seventeen States, COM
mencing with Ohio and closing with
New Hampshire, in pyramid of
great capitals. 1t indicates the real
purpose Of the Democracy to be 10

rs il can see the way clear to success.
Then the Changers who have been
seduced into the Anti-Monopoly
party with the belief that there was
nothing but honesty in the move
ment, will find themselves hand
somely sold. We shall not point out
the falsities of statement contained
in the boast, but copy it entire to
show the real animus of the old
Democratic party:
In these days of political revolu-
tion, the people can hardly keep track
of the victories that have been won
by the Democrats during the last
year. In the list Of States printed
below, will he found only those that
have unmistakably thrown OFF the
Radical yoke. Louisiana might with
propriety he added, for she gave IA clear
majority Of ten or twelve thousand
at the last general election but in
asmuch as the Radicals have forcibly
kept control of that State, we omit
ii from the list. In Minnesota, Iowa
and Kansas we have as good claim as
have our opponents, having elected
portions OF the State officers in each !;
but these also we leave out Of the
count now, but will add them to the
list after the next election. The
Democrats have clear title to sew
enteen States, most Of which have
been wrested from the Republicans
during the year 1873. This Is lively
work for party that has been de-
clared dead, and the Radicals will
never be able To regain the ground
they have lost. On the whole, the
Democrats are well satisfied with
their years work, and will go on un-
till it Is completed. How do our
Radical friends like the looks Of the
following formidable list Of Demo
cratic States?

The Ottumwa Courier of last Mon
day evening announces that il has
information, upon authority which il
cannot doubt, that the call for the
Republican Congressional Convention
in this district Is to be issued imme-
diately. The Courier regrets that
the call Is to be made so soon, but as
sures us that this action "has no pos
sible reference to any candidate"
We agree with the Courier that the
Congressional Convention should
follow rather than precede the State
Convention. Though 1t may be too
early TO talk about the matter, the
time has certainly not arrived for
choosing our candidate. Give us
time for consideration, and let har-
mony prevail, that the right man,
upon whom all can heartily unite,
may be chosen.

1t is said that those members OF
Congress composing the majority
who favored the currency bill, now
propose to get even with the capital
lists, whom they consider responsible
for the veto, by restoring the tax up
on incomes of $1,000 or more. III
