How to Treat Tender Plants That
Have Become Frozen.

The disastrous effects which tender
plants that have become frozen are subject
to is generally known to cultivators but
how or why freezing produces the effect it
does upon plant life is not so easily as
certained, and all attempts heretofore
made by scientific men to solve the ques-
ton have been, at most, only partially
successful. In practical experience it Is
found that the length of time and the
degree Of cold to which plants are ex-
posed affect them in proportion to thu
duration and intensity Of these conditions
which points, therefore, to the speedy
restoration of suitable temperature as
the best means of restoring plants that
have been unfortunately exposed to frosts.
But the thawing out should, in all cases,
be moderately gradual, and one of the
frozen, either in the dwelling, conserva-
tory or in the open air, is to sprinkle the
foliage with cold cistern or well water, as
the temperature turns to rise. In the dwell
ing or conservatory, however, it will be nee.
essary to start the fire in the stove, furnace
or fiue the first thing of all, to give the
temperature an ascendency, but it should,
for several hours, not be allowed to rise
above an ordinary suitab bic degree Some
advocate shading the plants from the sun
and light for some length of time, but the
policy of SO doing has never been appar-
ent to me, while l have frequently had
strong proofs to the contrary-that the
SUMS rays striking upon the plants with
gradually increasing heat in great
measure aids their recovery. There is
great difference in plants as regards their
ability to resist cold, and while some the
slightest frost will injure beyond cure
others will bear various degrees, and even
alternate freezing and thawing again and
again with impunity Avoid handling
plants in a frozen condition as much as
possible, as the injury to them will be
heightened should the leaves become bent
or be roughly brushed over. To restore
flowers that have become frozen, place
them in cold water until they have thawed
out.-Home Florist

OBSERVATION of a woman: The foot is
the point of departure for the whole toilet.
She who can prettily dress her feet is very
easy to costume elegantly, but a woman
who breads to expose her feet can never be
well attired. The German, who has gem
orally big feet, is always badly dressed.
The American has little foot, so she is
elegant. The Russian, who is not pretty,
is ravishingly attired, for she has little
feet. The Spaniard is elegant, her foot is
small, but she dresses il badly. The
French woman has a little foot, and her
boot is the height of perfection.

SYInntoms OF Catarrh.

Dull, heavy headache, obstruction Of the
nasal passages, discharges falling from the
head into the throat, sometimes profuse,
watery and acrid, at others thick, tena-
cious, mucous, purulent, bloody and putrid f;
the eyes are weak, watery and infiamed;
there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hack
ing or coughing to clear the throat, expecto-
ration of offensive matter, together with
ssabs from ulcers; the voice is changed and
has a nasal twang, the breath is offensive,
smell and taste are Impaired; there is a sem
sation of dizziness, mental depression, hack
ing cough and general debility. Only few
of the above-named symptoms are, however,
likely to be present in any one case. There
is no disease more common than Catarrh,
and less understood by physicians.
DIR. SAGE's CATARRH REMEDY
is beyond all comparison the best prepara-
ton for Catarrh ever discovered. Under the
influence of its mild, soothing and healing
properties the disease soon yields. The
Golden Medical Discovery should be taken
to correct the blood, which is always at fault,
and to act specifically upon the diseased
glands and lining membrane of the nose.
The Catarrh Remedy should be applied warn'
with DR.. Pierce'x Nasal Douche-the only in
strument by which fluids can be perfectly
injected into all the passages and chambers
of the nose from which discharges proceed.
These medicines are sold by Druggists.

The RADICAL REBEL-The Atlanta
(Ga.) Herald publishes in full speech
delivered by Hon. B. II. Hill OIL the
Goth inst, before the Georgia Legisla-
ture, at the request of large number
of its members. The Louisiana ques-
ton is treated by Mr.. Hill with great
ability. He was opposed to secession,
bnt he looked upon radicalism as the
only intentional rebel in American his
tory. 1T is a rebel against the constitu-
ton of our father. 1t is rebel against
the sovereignty of the State. 1t is a
rebel against the domestic tranquility
which the constitution was intended to
assure. 1t is rebel against every prin-
ciple of Justice, aud rebel against
every blessing of liberty" Mr.. Hill ad-
vises submission to the laws, right or
wrong, but he adds: Il am not willing
TO see the constitution subverted that
we may be treated as bandits and out
laws, and advise our people to submit
to that, nor do | believe the Northern
people will require or permit such hui
initiation. We catch up the old slogan
of our enemies and read it, and turn to
its authors and say: This country
this whole country-must be all free or
all slave" The Herald says that no
speech made within lis remembrance
ever had such All enthusiastic recep-
ton; none ever created a profounder
impression. Fidelity to the constitution
was the keynote OF tsis stirring and
eloouent address

superabundance of OIL If one remem-
berS how this business began-at the
top-he can imagine how complete is
its prostration. All Titusville, the met
ropOlis of Oildom, is under the hammer.
One man (only a specimen) who had
lately an income of 100000 is now
hardly worth his hat. All is dreary as
wintry midnight. Oil is here stored in
huge tanks, enough to light the world a
while; and still it comes To strike oil,
which once made ones fortune, is now
a very moderate blessing; nor can our
favorite Pennsylvaniatism, protection,
help us, for no body completes with US
in supplying the world. So we must
suffer from our copiousness, while all
make light of the cause Of our trouble.

A BULL DOC or THE TREASURY
The venerable New York republican
politician, Thurlow Weed, has address
ed letter to- the New York Tribune,
showing why the return OF Andrew
Johnson to political life should not be
regretted. Mr.. Weed refers to his loyal
record, and says that his first solcitude,
after the death of Mr.. Lincoln, was TO
ascertain and carry out his policy. But
when attacked he was, according to Mr..
Weed, aggressive and belligerent, hit
out right and left, and was like the dog
in Dombey and Son, who was forever
barking round the corner at an enemy
lie had never seem Mr.. Weed might
have added that the subject of his let
ter is like a fierce dog, in another re-
spect, that some of his enemies whom
he has seen are trying, upon his reap
pearance, to pat him on the head and
utter the soothing EXPLANATIONS of
"good dog" ''poor fellow" and the
like. Whether this will propitiate a
''dog" whose brain and memory are
quite equal to his combativeness, re-
mains to be seen. Mr. Weed, however,
speaks to the point when he says: An
drew Johnson, like his colleague,
George w. Jones, from the same State,
was for long years sentinel at the
door of the treasury. Their voices and
their votes were and with fint-like in
hexibility heard and recorded against
Jobs aud grabs of every description.
Such men were never more needed
than now in Congress.

appearance upon the witness stand, and
the manner in which his testimony was
received.
"Mr Tilton spoke in measured, mod
crate, distinct and unbrokcn words. His
manner was very grave, ard was devoid
of gesture A Tiltonianism of infection,
and toss back of the mead, character
istc of his public address, would now

tened intently, Mr. Beecher looked Mr..
Tilton sqnare in the face with such a
glance of wonderment rs it is difficult to
express. Mrs. Beecher looked at him
freezingly, sneeringly, and at the point
where Mr. Tiltou said that Mr.. Beecher
did not have "a satisfactory wife, Mrs.
Beecher fairly laughed. Mrs. Tilton
looked straight at her husband from the
first to the end of his story. Her eyes
were on fire with anger, and her face
was set in a sternness which was no.
ticeable for the first time in the trial.
Mrs. Shearman and Mrs. Field bit their
lips as if they had been caught in a
scrape, and must listen to the most pri-
mitive expressions, whether they wan

in North Carolina while on visit there
last fall. Mr. Gilmor was defendant
of line of merchants of Scotch orr
Gin whose history is coeval with the

that he assured them he would not be

johnson will find there twelve Senators
who voted "yea' on the impeachment

DEATH OF ATwENrY- FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLAR Cow.-On Saturday last the
Fourth Duchess of Onada died at the
Hon. r. j. Megibben's. She was pur-
chased by Megibban & Bedford, Octo-
Der 1873, at Campbell's New York
Mills sale, for $4,000. She leaves a
bull three months old, by the Four
teenth Duke of Thorndale, said TO be
one of the finest Dukes in the country.
There was, of course, no insurance on
her. Thus the $4,000 heifer has met
the same fate as the S40,50O COW. Mr..
E. G. Bedford has been particularly un-
fortunate, having heretofore lost two
costly bulls.-Paris Kenfuckian.

A RICu ANGEL ENTERTAINED UNA
wAREs.-A few evenings since there
dropped into an uptown hotel man
about five feet eight, with heavy chin
whiskers, and with rather an intellectu-
al cast Of countcnance, but slightly un-
der the influence of liquor He was at
tired in rather seedy and patched suit,
but clean. lie wanted lodgings for the
night, and inquired of the landlord if
he could chunk" with him. The land
lord, not likeing his condition and ap-
pearancc, told him she guessed not. "
The stranger took seat and entered
into conversation with some Of the
boarders. The landlord, discovering
during the evening that he was an edu-
Gated man, remembered the saying of
"entertaiung angels unawares," and
tod him he might stay if he paid in adj
vance. The stranger at once took ont
about ten dollars in currency, and ten
dered five dollar bill for the payment.
The landlord soon after took him 10
bed, and left him in his room, but sta
toned himself where he could see the
occupant of the room, The stranger,
after taking his boots off, got down on
his knees in front of the bed and de-
livered the Lords Prayer in a most i'm
pressive manner, after which he prayed
for all the inmates or the house, for
his friends and for bis enemies, that
they might bepreserved from all danger
and that they might be happy. He then
arose and commenced undressing, in
the meanwhile talking to himself and
making expressions aloud like the fol-
lowing: "What fool have been,
'.Some thieves might have picked me
up" l wonder if | have got it, the
last remark being explained by his
taking two large rolls of bank bills
from different parts of his person, which
he put under his pillow and soon got in
to bed. The landlord says he never
heard the Lords Prayer repeated in a
more impressive manner. The stranger
