The Color Line.

A Washington correspondent of
the Springfield Republican relates
this Characteristic incident:
was sitting in the Senate gallery
when Bruce, the colored Senator
from Mississippi, got up from his seat
on the Republican side, and came
up to converse with Mr.. Alcorn, his
colleague, who has seat on the
Democratic side. While they 50,
side by side in harmonious CONVEX.
sation, was amused by a running
comment between two men in the
gallery. From something they said
soon after, it seems that they wer.
farmers from an adjoining county il
Maryland. Says one: "Look q
that will you? A niger coming
over to sit with Democrats in th,
United State Senate" No 2 triet
to soo,he bis irritated comrade b,
philosophical reflections, such .
this: 1--WE may as we'll grin ant
bear it; the civil rights bill is Law
now, and, if our side had control
they'd be sfesred to repeal it. And
after all, that niger looks clean, IN.
may be he will keep his place and b.
respectful" Number went on in ,
doleful strain. at would make my
old father turn in his coffin to Sc,
such sight as this. Well, l guess
ii is better that he is kivered up ir
the ground, rather than be alive t
see what ] now see.h ! give the ex
act words of these old Marylanders
taken down on the spot, and the,
were evidently honest, well-meanina
men, too. If this is the average far
mer in Maryland. what must be th.
condition Of the far of States like
Texas, and louisiana?

The: FoOlish Virgins-A New
Version.

1t comes to us that Sunday School
teacher of this city, having taken much
trouble TO explain to her class the par
able of the wise and foolish virgins,
thought on the following Sabbath she
would see if they remembered her in
struc'ions. Telling them to stand ~
they were all under ten years of age
she said: 'Now, girls, what did |
tell you about last Sunday?"
A perfectly blank look on the faces
Of all-no one had remembered-till
apair Of bright black eyes sparkling
with delight, and little hand raised
to attract the teachers attention,
caused the teacher to ask,
swell, Louise, wha, was it about:''
"Why about them women that fo,.
got their kerosene. She had seized
the obvious idea, though Scriptural-
" the'answer was 3 little of color.

Doble, the famous horse artist has
lately brought this wonderful horse
Occident from San Francisco to the
East, to prepare for the spring meet
ing, which commences about the 6rst
Of May. The car in which Occiden,
made his journey is described q be-
ing especially designed for the care
and comfort Of race horses. Stalls
padded with Brussels carpet, beds for
the horses to lie in, wire screens
on the windows to keep the sparks
from his eyes, . heater to keep him
warm, = refrigerator to him cool, hot
water for his feet, = boudoir with
frescoed walls and ceiling for his
keeper, chairs, lounges, lace curtains,
mirrors, silver lamps and . sideboard
of fine wine for his guests and admir-
ers. So much for . herse. Mean
while the horse-car drivers receive
(? . day for seventeen hours work,
are allowed ten minutes for meals,
and FIVE hours for sleep, and receive
their discharg when their strength is
gone, which with this sort Of treat
ment is not likely to survive q few
months service.

Tree and Vegetable Rests.

Most farmers in selecting . farm
or in preparing one for trees and
crops, are not aware Of the extent to
which the roots penetrate the earth
for moisture or plain food. President
Clark, of the Massachusetts, Agncul-
tural College, in lecture lately
made the statement that an apple
tree on the college farm sent its
roots down through . gravel bed
eight feet, in search Of water. A
clover root on the alluvial banks OF
the Connecticut was carefully washed
out and found to have netrated
perprndicularly eight feet There
sre records Of . parsnip root pene-
trating the earth l34 feet. A
leguminous ire in India rooted 50
feet deep. Some root to great
horizontal distance. An Amhers'
elm was found to have roots IS feet
from its trunk. A squash vine at the
college was washed out with its
roots by the continued use of gar
den hose for "A hours, and the whole
root system was spread out on floor
and carefully measured. The main
branches were each IL or Is feet
long and aggregate some 1000. One
of the 20 modal roots four feet long
had $50 branches. and q most careful
estimate of the rami6cations of the
rootlet based upon the actual meas
urement Of one division showed that
that squash had between Is and 10
miles of roots. Reckoning the num-
Der Of days it had been growing (52)
it was found that it must have made
on the average 1000 feet per day,
and on favorable days about 1000
feet. These facts illustrate the i'm
portance of preparing soil SO as to
admit Of all roots spreading deep and
wide in search Of the food suited to
the nature and appetite of the plant.
