HOUSE PLANTS.

 There are very few plants which will not grow from cuttings. Some root with surprising rapidity, others may take weeks at the work, but sooner or later the tiny rootlets will find their way down into Mother Earth and and tender leaflets be- gln to appear along the stem.
 l have never failed of ultimate success, though friends have brought me slips, and ''stumped" me, as the boys say, to make them grow. The plan t" be pur- sued is very simple one. Prepare pots and boxes, alike, half full of fresh manure and then up to the very brim with good earth mixed with little sand, - putting in few bits of bone for drainage. Never use chip earth, It is full of eggs which hatch in the warmth into masses of dis gusting little white worms, later becom- ing minute flies both of which are ruin ous to the plants. f.-. i Slips are very fond of old tin pans, the rustier the better Set them slanting, and very near the edge, and they will send out scouts to seek the iron and use the tonic as naturally as any human being in search of strengthener One may start cuttings at any season of the year, though I have heard experienced gardeners say they would only root in spring and sum- mer. I have, however, found both June aD1 IoDuorv oEouk aouallx, ox-oilotala Al such seasons keep them very wet and in the full light of the sun.
 In summer plants require few additional fertilizers, once or twice, perhaps, little manure water is beneficial; but in winter the pretty, green pets need considerable help. A little powdered charcoal, some soap suds and then little camphor wa ter or ammonia. They take kindly to them all, and seem to relish change, now and then, as much as we do. Keep them very moist and constantly loosen the earth from the edges of the pots, and on the surface.
 So far as have learned, and I have SNoh CIoHo t'ttcHIioN Io eilo iHitbtTs Tio orous pruning is beneficial from Novem Der to February. Then the nature of the Suns rays change becoming actinic) and irresistably draw forth the waiting leaves and blossoms. When that good time comes let your plants shoot and stretch with glad, eager growth toward their life giver, and yOur reward for winters care Is at hand E. l.. 5.

Delng reached by flights or WoOaen stalrS, all fastened with iron bars drilled into the rock. The stream in it's passage has worn many singular shaped basins in the stone; the whirling waters having caught some quartz boulders of several hundred weight and set them rolling round and round. grinding out the soft stone beneath them.
 Beautiful cascades and waterfalls meet you at every few rods. These have all been named. There is Cascade Glen, Ga thedral Glen, and, on the rock near the water, is to be seen perfect profile of an Indian warrior. Then we have Shadow Gorge, Pluto Fall, Pool of the Nymphs. Rainbow Falls, Glen Arcadia, and other names not remembered. On passing through you walk under overhanging rocks with the water falling down the side beyond you. Visitors are met at every landing, where benches are set for the weary ones to rest
 The Glen and land lying on either side of it was formerly owned by MT. Wat kins, from whom the town and glen are named; the former being the county town of Schuyler county. This Glen property could have been bought some fifteen years ago, and We are told was offered to, Wash ington Cogswell of Marketable, Conn. for s. 900. A hotel, the Glen Mountain House, accommodating nearly two hun cred people. has lately been erected and the proprietor, John J. Lyttle, last spring took in partner on the basis of $40, 900. The admission is fifty cents; board at the hotel s per day. From one to two hun- dred dollars 8 day arc taken in for visit CTS alone. This is the place where John Magee, called the richest man west of New York city, lived. His property was some Sl0, ,OOO, 900. A few years since he died and, on the north side of the glen, on a high emlnence overlooking the lake, and where every house in Watkins can be seen, lies the cemetry. The sons of Magee have half an acre enclosed by massive iron fence for their burying lot. The Magee monument is of Italian marble, an oetagon die with CoEinthian column, the whole thirty feet high, costing $1O,GO0. There IS large vault, and two fountains playing in tho enclosure They, the brothers, state that they have expended SIG, 900 on the place. On one side of the grounds is a steep rise, on which trees are set. Terraced walks, rustic chairs and beds of flowers make it piaco of loveli- ness. -.- ,........s ?. .--,.

SS SIip Iiic ioiIo"IhS iIom tIic f9:liiS- bury News
 This Season Of Rain.-MR. EDITOR Throughout the valley of the Housaton- ic river. especially in the towns of Sails bury, Canaan and Sheffield and in and on all other wet lands and meadows scarcely half of the usual quantity of grass or hay has been grown this yea, which is the ef- feet of the rain storms since the first of last May. In some localities sections of some meadows are completely covered with gravel and earth deposited by the floods, and are now as unproductive as the alkaline plains of the west, aud most of the hay obtained is cut under great difficulties, even by horse power, in con- sequence of it's gritty state and the quail ty is much impaired by the dust and grit still adhering to 1t i'll spite of the hay ted der, pitchforks, &e., and such hay must be very distasteful to farm stock if not absolutely hurtful But the effects of the rains are directly to the reverse on all uplands or localities where the water ta- ble Gas geologists term it) is sufficiently beneath the surface. On most of such lands the great yield of grass and hay is almost without a parallel, showing what has been claimed by some farmers that the grass crop while growing can scarcely be watered too much on such localities. and it Is here that onr best qualities of hay are obtained, and here lies the great secret of understanding, to-wit: Lower ing of the water table and grass lands are seldom injured by excess of water on the surface. On all such up-lands the bene- ficial effects of the rains arc observed in the growth of all cereal crops except corn, which IS easily injured by excess of moist ure during tho two first months of it's growth. The invigorating effects are even seen in our upland forests, ,hill-sides and mountain tops. Seldom have our trees and even shrubbery on such locali- ties shown such profuse foliage and such dense shade every twig presents a cluster of leaves, and every leaf is expand ed beyond those of former years all seed and nut bearing trees arc showing evidence of producing immensely. Tho white blossom of the chestnut is noticed even on sprouts of few years growth, and on all larger trees in great profusion. The extension of this years growth of sprouts and timber far exceeds that of last year at the same time, but in all low and naturally wet lands the effects are probably in reverse proportion.

publicans and Bonapartists, and the special detestation ofroyalists. Hence, too, their insisting with Chambord upon the retention of the tricolor of the Revolu- ton and the Empire. knowing that the restoration of the white flag of the old Bourbons would be an indignity the army would lead rather than follow the people in resenting. Hence, too, their latest scheme for the constitution of Second Chamber, in which high army officers, ,and government appointees are to monopolize a large sharge of the positions, thus at- tempting to conciliate McMahon and the army at the expense of the representative branch of the legislature. Hence, too, the patience of Gambetta, and the ex- tremists with an unpopular government which they hope to overcome without a revolution, fearing, quite as much as do the royalists. the result of an appeal to the army. It certainly looks now as if their waiting" policy might win a bloodless victory in the end; and yet the Republic is under much such guardianship as smoth- cred poor little Edward V, in tho Tower.
 No one can say that France would have had fewer revolutions without than with her standing army; but history does show that in every instance, revolutions have been caused by an attempt of some ruler to destroy constitutional guarantees and make himself absolute by means of his standing army. Bonapartes have gener- ally been supported by the army in these attempts, and there has been a coup q etat; Bourbons have generally been deserted by the army and there has been a revolu- ton. It is indeed the undue strength which their control of this terrible weapon gives every French executive that makes the establishment of genuine representa- tive government so difficult in France. The legislative branch is always so de-
 fenceless in the face of an executive back ed by an army, that it can be easily over thrown unless it is supported by the armed mob of Paris, as in the old revolu- tion, or by public sentiment sufficiently strong to make the army waver in it's loy- alty to the executive. Hence, if the French republicans are successful. we hope they will make the executive power as weak, the legislative as strong, as possi- ble. The English executive, which is practically mere legislative committee removable at pleasure by the House of Commons, would be far preferable for republic with large standing army to an American executive with it's independent authority, and its fixed term of office.
