That the people owe to the Gov.
crnment, at all times q loan OF
money adequate to its needs, at d
rate of interest so low as to be the
least possible burden.
The Government owes to the
people an absolutely safe and uni.
form currency, in amount and of a
value not different from that of
other civilized nations.
That the providing of a currency
for the people is an attribute Of
sovereignty, and that the Govern.
ment of the United States should
perform this duty, independent OF
the action of banks.
That / am not a rcpudiationist,
non inflationist, but friend Of a
safe, sound and reliable currency,
am in favor Of the issuing OF
United States ccrtifcatcs(or bonds)
bearing interest not to exceed 81
per cent, per annum, and to the
equal to the whole Government debt,
both public and private.
That the enactment Of the las,
Congress, providing for rcsump-
ton Of specie payments, is i'm
possible, and disastrous. upon the
business of the country.
The above arc my sentiments
concerning reputation, or imitation,
do not believe in the first, and

"class" in society, in schools, in our
general dcmcanor one toward the
other; but let us have no "class''
in the currency of the Government
Of the United States.

Soaring and Sailing Of Birds.

Mr. Belt, describing the movement Of a
pair Of black vultures sailing on the wind,
says; Like all birds that soar, both over
sea and land, when it is calm the vultures
are obliged to flap their wings when they
fiy; but when breeze is blowing they are
able to use their specific gravity as full.

Flowers in France.

A writer in Lsppincott's says: cit is
a rather singular fact that two of the uses
to which flowers are put in America
should be comparatively little known here.
One is the ballroom bouquet, which every
American society man is expected to be.
stow upon his chosen partner for the Ger
man, or which he delights in depositing
as an offering before the shrine of the
reigning belle of his own set or the fair
one who has especially attracted his adj
miration. No small tax are these floral
tributes-in many respects rendered oblig-
atory by the usages of society-upon the
+ finances of a party-going bachelor. In
Paris his purse would not be drained in
such fashion. Young ladies, as rule,
do not carry bouquets to parties. Another
most poetic and tender custom
that of strewing the form of the beloved
dead with flowers, and of covering the
closed coffin with wreaths and other floral
devices-is almost wholly unknown here.
This practice-which, in New York, has
of late years been carried to pitch of RI
diculous and outrageous extravaganza
has always seemed to me, within bounds,
one Of the most appropriate uses to which
the fairest gifts of Nature could be put
But the false nature of French
sentiment rejects the real blossom, with
its wealth Of sweetness, of significance
and of tender emotion, to substitute there
for a sham of painted muslin and paper.
The funeral wreaths which are laid upon
coffins at Partisan funerals are composed
of artificial flowers, some of them accurate
enough limitations of white flowers; 9TH
ers of the stiff, yellow tnanaortelle in its
glazing, uncompromising, unsentimental
ugliness; and others, worse still, of glis-
tening Jet beads or of white and jet beads
intermingled. These crowns are also used
for the purpose of decorating graves,
though what tenderness of idea or of sem
timent can cling to stiff, prickly con.
struction of wire and muslin, or of wire
and coarse, shiny beads, it is hard to dis
cover. The sweetbreathed, perishable
garland which we lay upon beloved
tomb in America is, in its loveliness and
fragility, a type of the dear humanity that
has passed away; but to our transatlantic
ideas the jet beads and artificial flowers are
mainly suggestive of the milliner and the
mantuamaker. On the other hand, natu-
raj flowers are becoming the very height
of fashion in Paris for wedding parures.
At one or two of the late aristocratic mar
riages of this season the bride appeared
covered with real and orange
blossoms, her lace flounces Topped and her
veil confined by fresh and lovely flowers.

FARM AND HOME.

To make barley water, cleanse an
ounce of pearl barley by boiling it few
moments; pour off the water and put the
barley into quart of cold water; add a
little salt; let all simmer an hour.
To make crackers, take fourteen cups
of flour, one cup of lard, three cups of
water, four teaspoonfuls OF cream of tartar,
two teaspoonfuls of soda; do not put in
any more water, but keep kneading in
the flour so you will not need to pound,
but will have tender, brittle crackers,
good enough for anyone to eat.
To make blanc-mange, take one pint
of new milk, two eggs well beaten, four
tablespoonfuls of ground rice, flavor with
lemon or rosewater, sweeten to taste; let
it boil in porcelain kettle, and when
cooled little turn into mold or dish,
and when wanted turn it out, mix little
cream, sugar and havoring, and pour
around it; ornament it with bits of red
currant jelly.
TO make cottage pudding take two
eggs, half cup sugar, well beaten together,
add five tablespoonfuls melted butter, stir
well, then add cup of sweetmilk, teaspoon
of soda, two of cream of tartar, two and
one-halt cups of fotf, bake in square
tins and serve with sauce made as follows,
which is nice for almost any pudding
Teacup of sugar, teacup Of vinegar, teacup
of water; set over the fire and when it
boils add tablespoonful of flour and but
ter rubbed together.
An experienced horse-trainer in Cali
fornia says: "The education of my colts
has in great measure been accomplished
by kind treatment. The horse is so con-
stituted that by proper management and
kind treatment his confidence and affec-
tions may be acquired to such degree
that his will becomes completely absorbed
in that of his friend and trainer. / will
say, further, that the horse naturally pos
sesses a far greater degree of intelligence
than he has ever been given creditor"

How to Take Care Of Bulbs

AS soon as their beauty of flower is
over, we always cut off the flowerstems
just below the lowest flower, and for this
reason the hyacinth and tulip both seed
freely, particularly the latter if the bulb
is forming seed, its strength is in a great
measure wasted by that process; whereas,
if the flower-stem is cut off, the bulb has
nothing to do but to prepare itself with
vigor for poisoning the ensuing year.
We pay great attention to the protection
of the leaves of both hyacinths and tulips,
and never allow them to be interfered
with until nature indicates, by the decay
of their points, that the bulb is preparing
for rest. We then follow course with
both hyacinths and tulips which we be-
lieve many do not; that is, we take them
up before the leaves are quite decayed,
and for this reason: we believe that both
of them, after the bulbs have attained this
period of growth, are only weakened by
remaining in the ground, because the Off
sets are living upon the parent bulb, and
consequently weakening it for the flower
of the following year.
Ii cultivatOr wishes for stock he should
let the bulbs remain until the leaves are
quite decayed. If he wants his bulbs to
flower in beauty again he should follow
the practice above mentioned. When
taken up the bulbs should be removed to
a shed sheltered from the sun but free to
the air, and any earth adhering to the
fibers or roots should remain for some
little time; after two or three days they
should be looked after and the loose earth
shaken from them; and, as the leaves de-
cay, they should be occasionally removed.
We have generally placed our bulbs at
first on the ground in the tOol-shed, and as
they got dry removed them to an airy
shelf When the leaves are nearly de-
cayed we place them in very shallow
baskets and allow as much air as practical
BILE to be between each root to harden
them, turning them every two or three
days.
BY this treatment, and rubbing off any
portion of mold attached to the bottom
and sides. thew are in g ct state 20 be
placed for the summer in dry-room; and
by little occasional attention the rough
and outside coat will, by gentle side
pressure of the thumb, be effectually re-
moved and exhibit the appearance of the
bulb clean, smooth and in good condition.
This latter operation is best performed in
the end of August, and at the end of that
time remove the remains of such parts OF
the root of the former year as may have
dropped off previous to this time. 1t is
hardly necessary TO state that any bulb in
an unsound state, either from appearance
of decay or from having been injured in
taking up, should not be put with those
intended for future planting The Garden
