A Clever Debater.

Speaking Of the Old-time political de-
bates Of Virginia gentlemen, George
Cary EgglestOn relates in the NoYem-
Der AtIazlic this racy anecdote:
4 story j. told Of one Of the f%iercest Of
these social political debaters-a story
too well vOuched for among his friends
to be dOubted-which will serve per
haps to show how unnecessary the pres
ence Of an antagonist was to the sue
ceessful conduct Of a dispute. 1t was
a." at a dining day." to speak in the ma
tive idiom, and it 50 happened that all
the guests were Wings, except Mr..
E, VINO was the stanchest Of Jeifer-
sonian Democrats. The discussion be-
gan, Of course, the moment the ladies
left the table, and it speedily waXed hot.
Mr.. E, getting the a Of the com
pany in the outset, laid on right and
left with his customary yigOr, rasping
the Wings on their sorest points, argu-
ing, asserting, deuouncing, demonstrate
ing-to his own entire satisfaction-fOr
perhaps half an hour; silencing every
attempt at interruption by saying:
Now wait, please, till | get through
I'm one against seven, and you mustl let
me make my points. Then you a re-
ply"
He finished at last, leaving every
Wing nerve quivering, every Wing face
burning with suppressed Indignation,
and every Wing breast full, almost to
bursting, with a speech in reply. The
I strongest debater Of them all managed
to begin first, but just as he pronounced
the opening words Mr.. E interrupt
ed him.
pardon me- he said, 81 know all
your little arguments, so I'll go and talk
with the ladies for half an hour, while
you run them over; when you get
through send for me, and I'll come and
sUeep yOu clear ont Of the arena
And with that the exasperating man
bowed himself out of the dining-room

quite a large and curious crowd awai!eu

youths walked tremblingly up, ANU anu

After some contention as to VINO SnV .La

The third grinner struck out on nem

How to Grow Pond Lilies.

A Reading pa lady gives the fol-
lowing directions for growing the white
water-lily: The roots having been pro-
cured in the fall, were kept damp DUR
ing the winter in lower-pots. In the
spring a tub was made by saving a sub
stantial barrel in two; this was set on
brickfeet, out Of doors, and one-third fill
ed with garden soil, sand, and weli-rotted
manure The roots were planted in this
mixture and covered. Water was added
in small quantities, and at intervals of
a day or two, and SO gently as not to
disturb the earth, until the tub was full.
Very soon the handsome round leaves,
four or five inches in diameter, made
their appearance and filled the tub.
The loss of water by evaporation was
made good from time to time, and ere
long the blossoms appeared, d~elighting
every one by their beauty. When win
ter approached, the water was allowed
to dry off almost entirely, and the tub
and its contents put into the cellar and
watered at intervals. In the spring the
roots were separated, and about half
the increase was eturnedt to the same tub
in a fresh mixture of earth. They were
brought out earlier than before (about
April u, and blossomed o profuse-
ly. The flowers were as perfect as the
eamellia, and delightfully."- fragrant,
closing at night and reopening in the
morning, as is the habit of water lilies.
The blooms were about two inches in
diameter-not quite as large as some of
the specimens in the pond from whence
the roots were taken, but equally beau
and fragrant.
