Watch your house plants these
cold nights. Setting them on tn
bic in the center of Il room will re
quire several more degrees of cold
to freeze them there than if sitting
near the window or walls of the
room. A newspaper pinned around
them again saves from mlny more
degrees of cold. In the beginning
OF winter plants are much more apt
to be frozen than in the dead Of
winter, because we are apt to think
the weather not cold enough now
to freeze them, whilst in the winter
we know 1t is, and hence we use
care then. Watch them now.

From the Richmond Despatch.]

From the RicDmOnd Deepatch.l
The white tnstigators are the cause Of the chief
trouble IN the South. So It was IN st. Domingo.
The whtes-,he English, the French and the
Spanish. BY turns, used the negroes a. instru.
ments to annoy one another until at last the
bloody instructions oil white masters were put
into practice by the negroes, and there was Q
scene OF horror precpitated upon st. Domingo TOO
appalling almost for print. Thank God 1t is not
possible in this country to repeat such o scene;
but we ale not indebted to the hypocritIcai re.
publican leaders that 1t is not so. We're the South
situated as was st. Domingo at the time OF the
massacre the radical corrupt politicians who have
late Benjamin watkins Leigh with "a maignity
nellborn and hellward bound" would have caused
the repetition OF Just such scenes as those OF s..
Domingo which shocked the civilized world.
No man can observe the history Of the troubles
IN the South without feeling that II there Is any
premeditation IN them 1t Is the premeditation Of
the Northern emissaries, who seek to ioment
radical party. The Southern people premeditate
no such disturbances Of the peace OF their own
homes. 1t Is great lie to say so. The liars are
the devilish aoettors OF the mscreants who per-
meate the South In search Of prey for themselves,
and Tor the purpose OF spreading discord and pro-
voking bioodshed, that they may like the thief
and incendiary, profit BY the aiictions and calam.

Prophcsies About the Crops.

1t is the right time of year for the

GreasIBg AxIes.

Many a wheel is ruined by oiling
too plentiful. A well made wheel
will endure constant wear from ten
to twenty years, if care is taken to
use the kind and proper amount of
oil that if the matter is not attended
to the wheel will be used up in five or
six years, or it may be sooner
Lard should never be used on a wag-
on, for it will penetrate the hub and
work its way around the lemons ofthe
spoke and spoil the wheel. Castor
oil is a good material for use on an
iron axle; just oil enough should be
applied to a spindle to give it light
coating. This is better than more,
for the surplus put on viii work out
at the end, and be forced by the
shoulders and nut into the hub around
the outside Of the boxes. To grease
the axle-tree, first wipe the spindle
clean with cloth wet with turpen-
tine, if it won't wipe without it. On
a buggy or carriage, wipe and clean
off the back and front ends, and then
apply a very small quantity Of castor
oil, or more especially prepared lu-
bricator near the shoulders point.

The Tea Rose.

OF all the various classes of roses,
the tea scented are the most desirable,
and appropropriate for house culture.
The original tea rose was import
ed from China, in 1912, and its de-
scendants have yearly increased in
beauty ofcoloring and fragrance until
they outshine all their beauteous
sisterhood, and are, indeed, more
beautiful than all others. For the
past two years the demand for them
has been very great, no gentleman
could attend party unless a tea rose
decorated the button hole OF his coat,
and every young lady must either
wear them in her hair, or carry them
in her hands, and loop her dress with
them. So the florists have cultiva-
ted them, and no stand of flowers is
complete WITHOUT them. They can
be purchased in all shades-from the
deepest purplish red, to yellow and
snow white They need plenty of
sunshine, a very rich compost, and
fresh air, to bloom in perfection.
A hot, dry temperature, with sti-
fling air, is not adapted to their needs,
and although they will live patiently
in it, they will not flower. They viii

they are set out from the direct rays

watered or the buds will blast.

A Dollar Bill.

The crisp one dollar bill is as a
work Of art simply beautiful Fresh
from the press, with the promise to
pay unbroken by a crease, its pictures
unsoiled and unwrinkled, and its
crinkly sound is significant of wealth
as was the jingle of coin in the bar
barious times when the promise had
contingent relations with performance
the dollar bill is an object Of admiration
and delight. Few things are superior
to it in nature or in art. On the upper
left hand corner Christopher Colum-
bus is discovering the Land Of Prom
Use; in the centre is the promise to
pay Of the land be discovered, and the
lower right hand corner, a signature
Of Treasurer Spinner, a gentleman
whose integrity is as Roman as the
nose Of the Father of his Country,
whose portrait adOrns the middle of
the bin, because be never told a lie
There may be citizens who have
never seen this art and simbol of
wealth in its condition. Possibly to
those to whom the dollar bill has
come limp, creased, and measly, the
statement that the portrait which
adorns it is of the Father Of His Coun-
try, and that he wore a Roman nose
" hen in life and so represented
in the engraving, and tnat he never
told a lie, may seem incredible. 1t is
not impossible that it may be doubted,
end that men-mere men-of whom
the poet beautifully says, "Men may
come and men may go, but the one
dollar bill flows on forever, may assert
that this is not the portrait Of any
man who never told lie, and that he
does net were a Roman nose either
1t Is the misfortune of such persons
not to have seen the dollar bill when
il was fresh and crisp; when promise
and the Roman nose were the unbro-
ken by repeated foldings and wrink-
lings, and the face Of the Father Of
His Country had not been pinched
and punched and "wuzzled up" into
a counterfeit presentment Of Judas
Iscariot- Tribune.

value orsunaowers.

We would call the attention of far
mers at this time to the value of sun
flowers as a crop, and enumerate
some of their values and uses.
In the FIRST place, the flowers
abound in honey and furnish food for
bees. The seeds. contain oleaginous
matter, and will yield oil at the rate
of one gallon to the bushel, which is
but little inferior to olive oil. One
acre will produce fifty bushel of seed.
It's also valuable for feed for horses
and poultry. The leaves are excel
lent fodder for cattle.
The stalks while growing may be
utilized as bean poles, where they
are scarce and difficult to be obtained,
and when dry may be used as roof
ing, or set up against fence to form
wind-break. They contain large
amount of potash, and are excellent
for FIRE kindling. The seed has also
been recommended for fuel.
The reputation of the growing sun
flower to absorb miasmatic vapors,
and prevent fever and ague, is well
known.
A correspondent in the Journal Of
Industr-y of Richmond, Va, writing
on the subject of sunhowers, etc.,
gives the following as the result of
his experiments:
Contiguous to my residence is a
marsh. During the summer and fall
Of 1872 nearly every member of my
family was down with ague and fe-
yer. In the spring of 1878, | thought
l would give the sunhower trial,
and planted q number around the
yard. do not know whether there
is really any medical virtue in this
curious plant. but not a case of chill
occurred that season at my house, and
L secured a very excellent food for
my chickens. Pleased with the ex-
pertinent, / shall try 1t more exten-
sively this year and cultivate a patch,
assured of this fact, that the seed will
compensate for the trouble"
''Dr Pouchet records that the in
sensible Transportation of the sunfow-
er is seventeen times as great as our
own. Hales ascertained, by daily
weighing it in scales, that it lost, by
the Transportation of its leaves only,
twenty ounces Of water in twenty
four hours"
Experiments by farmers in mala-
rious districts might result in the con-
Grmation of the idea that the sunAow-
er exercises a healthy influence over
miasma. Should such result ensue,
it would require long time to COM
municate the fact to the people, for
our farmers are not, as a class, readers
