Cultivation Of Flowers.

During these May days every one who
has even the smallest plot of ground
is beginning to think of the culture of
iowers. The natural question is: what
shall we plant in order to make the most
in the way of beauty out of the least space
One naturally thinks of the Dianthus fam.
lily, "the flowers of Jovc,' as the old
Greeks called them the pinks. The Dian
thus Hedderwigt are among the finest. If
fragrance is desired. the Carnation pink
should be procured. 1t is best to get fine
healthy plants from the florist and set them
out early in May. They should be tied to
neat little stakes driven firmly in the
ground. Accompanying them should be
the Portulaec&, wlch needs sunny loca-
| ton and will bloom nearly the whole sea-
son. The seed once planted, will come
up year after year. The Phlox Drum
mondi, Verbena, Pansey, Salpiglossis and
Stocks are also fine color plants, bloom
ing the whole season. MignOnette is very
fragrant but will not bear transplanting.
II you desire climbing plants take the

foliage and tlowers-pour boiling water
upon the seeds, and let them stand for a
few minutes. OF bulb plants, while hya-
cynths aud tulips will always remain ia.
vorites on account of their fragrance and
beauty, the gladiolus, on account of its
gorgeousness, is becoming great favor:
lte: 1t is also very easy to cultivate. All
bulbs over three quarters OF an inch long
will produce flowers but the larger the
bulb, the larger the spikes of flowers.
They should be started about the middle
OF March. and a few planted each week
till the latter part of June, to keep up
succession of bloom. In dahlias, cultiva-
ton has much Improvements within the
past ten years. These plants. however,
are almosttoo large for city yard. The
hcentra spectabilis, or bleeding heart, is
beautiful and desirable hardy plant, pro.
ducing long, dropping racemes of pink
and white heart shaped flowers. Plant
singly, and leave it unmolested for three
to five years, by which time it will attain
large size and present fine appearance.
Many other flowers might be mentioned,
all OF which are things of beauty and
Joy, if not forever, at least during their
bright days of bloom. In watering plants
always use cold water. Water direct
from the hydrant is convenient and lust as
good ast hat made little warmer.

III. X. STEVENS: Dear Sir-I have been badly af
hicted with Kidney Complaint for ten years; have
suffered great pain in my back hips and side, with
great difficulty in passing urine, which was often
and in very small quantities, frequently accompan-
led with blood and excruciating pain.

dies recommended tor my complaint; have been
under the treatment Of some OF the most ssiiliul
physicians in Boston. all OF whom pronounced my
case incurable. This was my condition when was
advised by friend to try the Vegetine and could
see the good effects from the first dose took, and
from that moment kept on improving until was
entirely cured, taking in all, should Think about
six bottles.
1t is indeed valuable medicine and if should
be afflicted again in the same way, l would give a
dollar dose, ii could not get it without.

kidnev Complaint.

Probably there is no complaint that anicts the
human system, which is little understood at the
present time, as some of the varied forms of Kid
ney Complaints.
There is no disease which causes such acute pain
more alarming in its results than when sthe kid
neys tail TO secretc from the blood the uric acid,
and other poisonous substances, which the blood
accumulates in its circulation through the system
II from any cause the kidneys fail to perform the
functions devoving upon them, the cuInulations
are taken up by the absorbents and the whole sys-
TEN thrown into state OF disease, causing great
pain and suffering, and very often mme death.
Hence the importance of Keeping the kidneys and
blood in healthy condition, through which all the
impurities of the body must pass.

We are enabled by the special courtesy Of a
friend to lay before our readers, at this early
day, the result of the election held in this
State in November, 1874. That the result has
been arrived at so early is due partly to the
great interest manifested IN our people bv
the President. and partly to the self-sacri-
hclng gentlemen who came down here to see
what steps were necessary to save Louisiana
to the Radical party.
We are advised that the COMMITTEES of Ar
bitration will give us nine Conservative Sena-
tors and siXty-three Representatives. They

Just as well call upon the public at large to

NO law OF Congress or pretended amend

certain individual and reserved RIGHTS, which
he can always successfully maintain if he has
any claims to MANHOOD If we kept bar, or
a theater, or a public inn, and if any person,
of whatever orig or descent should under
take to compel us to cater to his wants, we
would resist the absurd and insolent preten-
sions and we are firmly convinced |
that in SO doing We would receive the |
moral and material support of every one
whose sympathy is worth having. The idea
that man-whether white, black, green or
yellow can walk into another man S business
place and compel him to wait upon him, is one
which would be secuted in every civilized

Hotelkeepers, theatrical managers and
other parties similarly situated, have the I'M

We believe the mind Of the public is very en-
