recommended for every quality which goe
to mako up the appreciation Of the artist

that her eloeution is unexceptionable, and
her department faultless. Her npprecia-

has not been surpassed, aud her hd,li;v to

lit.c Office he Is standing for now. We
wish him success.
The peculiar wording Of the reply of
Mr.. Linegar 10 tho "csll' Of his follow
Republicans TO speak to them, has at
srscted some attention in the city. What
does Mr.. Linegsr mean when no says;
wYou have asked me TO speak on the po-
li,ical questions of the day. If you had
asked me TO speak upon the political de-
moralization Of the day the task would
have bson easier, and II l should make
some sllusiops to that subject you will
pardon me Tor the depression ?" Surely
Mr.. Linegar cannot End in the Dsmo-
cratic party, as an organization, political
decentralization. 1t is not in power, except
in few states, and in those states, since
IL obtained control of affairs, honesty and
good government have been the rule. II
Mr.. Linegsr is anxious to comment upon
political Generalization, he should eddres'
himself to q thoughtful contemplation o.

Metallic Floors.

A method has been devised for rem
dering floors to certain degree fire
proof, by employing long fiat bars of thin
sheet metal, with a perpendicular fiange
turned on each edge. Other long thin
bars which are curved or arched, and
riveted at or near their edges to the first
named strips, are placed edgewise verti-
cally, one between each two, the connec-
ton being SO arranged that the tops of
the arches do not rise quite as high as
the tops of the first set of bars. Narrow
er strips are also arranged across and riv-
eted to the lower flanges at suitable in
tervals apart, to serve as laths for hold
ing the ceiling plastering to be applied
to them, as well as to brace them lateral
ly- Similar strips are arranged across
and riveted to the upper ianges, or wood
pieces may be bolted on to receive and
support the floor boards. The outside
flanges are built into and rest in the wall
and other fianges may be applied, il
desired, to the outside strip for letting
into the wall. For floor of great length
the bars are Tapped and rlveted.

Fruit Garden

Many persons think if they have one
variety Of each kind of fruit that is
enough. This is a mistake, and who
thus plants will not experience half the
pleasure which comes from selecting
proper portion of early and late Sorts
Blackberries and raspberries can be en-
joyed for some weeks longer, if both early
and late varieties are set out. Winter is
the proper time to lay out this work, and
by carefully reading and comparing the
statements of the best authorities, one can
with proper soil, plant with good pro-
spect of success. There are many works
upon the different small fruits, and con-
tain something of interest as we'll as val
ue to the fruit-raiser. Trees which have
been trained as cordons ought to be safe
from cattle, and in the case of apricots
and peaches will be all the better if a
little protection is given during the win
ter. Grapevines may be pruned at any
time when the weather is not too cold.

We have several inquiries from amat-

ly not, though we believe that they will
produce better fruit and more of it if all
were laid down and covered with few

mon red, the wild blackcaps, the Allen,
the Catawissa, and generally the Hudson
River Antwerp, do not require laying

Its second crop; and in order to get this
to its utmost extent, cut down this years
canes to the ground now, and cover the
stock with good coat of manure. In
the Spring fork this in, and you will
have raspberries from the goth of August
to the end of October generally, of &
quality which all ought to enjoy, as this
variety is the true representative in hav
