CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-In the Methodist
Judicial Conference to-day, the case of
Rev. T J. Workman, expelled from the
Ro,k River Conference, for immortality,

THE great attentions paid King Ka-
lakaua by the powers that be, at Wash
ington, is contrasted with the shabby
manner in which the Grand Duke of
Russia was treated. The almost unani-
nous opinion seems to be that the pur-
pose of the present visit is to pave the
way for the annexation to this country
of the Sandwich Islands. If he does
not succeed here, perhaps the King
will cross the Atlantic and make over
lures to England.

been burned, where liberal dressing Of
ashes has been applied, and there will be

a little forethought will do in this di-
rection. A pot of Mignonette and
another of Sweet Alyssum costs
nothing, and yet few things will be

prove to be Every queens Of beauty

a very desirable plant for winter
blooming, particularly the white,
and towards autumn we often select
cuttings from q few of the finest
plants in the garden, and root them
in pots for winter flowers. The
stocks are equally good. The Co
blna Scandeans, and nearly the
climbers, make excellent winter bloom
ers. We mention these things be-
cause they arc SO easily grown, and
yet every way desirable.
To grow plants for winter flower
ing seed can De sown about July or
August, in shady, cool place in the

kept well watered and by autumn
plants will be just right to transfer
