ally, or know Of, our very esteemed citizen,
Judge james R. Ludlow; and in referring
to matter which deeply concerns him, it
Isn't necessary for me to sing his praises.
That he is gentleman in every accepta-
ton Of the word cannot be questioned
and that he is man who has established
upon the bench the reputation for ability
to decide facts, and mir questions of law, is
equally we'll known. The political ten
denotes Of this gentleman have been always
democratic, and yet the severity of bis sen.
tences Of criminals Of the democratic per-
suasion have been invariably the maxi
mum ofthe penal law, while his oppo-
nents in politics were permitted by this
very just and condite man to escape with
light and Insignificant punishment.
BY this extraordinary course, which.
nevertheless is consistent with a mind that
has become prostituted by scheming pro-
pensi'ies, Judge Ludlow has for many
years maintained his position as Associate
Judge Of the Court of Common Pleas and
Oyer and Terminer of this Common.

Few will gainsay the truth of the fore.

are led to expect a national Democratic
victory in 1876. The result in Ohio ought
not to dispirit the unterrifed, as careful
survey of the Ohio campaign shows a
large accession IT, the Democracy. The
majority in that State is certainly under
5000, upon very full vote. In former
elections, when the Republicans polled
their entire vote, the majority was us,all
about $4,000; it is therefore quite clear
that from some cause they lost a very
lar,e number ofvotes. Many Democrats
voted against the initiation tendency Of this
platform, and many more were led away,
by their religious prejudices, influenced
by the pulpit; and possibly still greater
number, on account Of their hostility to

Plotting Fall Flowers.

At this season of the year there are some
unpleasant feelings among the agreeable
ones, and Of them that which tells us man,
Of our floral friends must remain out in the
cold to die. But there is no help for it.
We needed them only for the summer dec.
oration of the grounds. We have no
place to keep them over winter, and be-
sides this it is certain that in the case of
the coleus and many others, young plants
made from the older plants will be botter
in every way than those with which
we covered, save even if all things
suited to that end. Still there are
some which We will save anyhow" and
it may he IS we'll to say few words as to
the proper way to 60 about it.
Oh course the leading difficulty is that
the plants are SO likely to wither up and
die away after taking up and pottins, and
we have therefore to direct our energies to
prevent this very thing. The kind Of
plant will decide the treatment. Some
things, like carnatioa of sweet william,
have a mass of small roots, in close
bunch, and with this comparatively small
tops. These rarely wither, even under
rather poor hands. On the other hand a
geraniun has fewer roots. 1t seldom
comes up but all the dirt falls away, and
in an unski ful hand all the leaves would
fall, and for the whole winter the plants
present a sorry sight. To prevent such |
leaves from withering and drying away
is the point. Much may be done with
these 'prawly-rooted things by watering
them we'll before beginning to lift them.
They should have a thorough soaking.
Then some Of the younger and setter
leaves should be picked off, for it is these
which are the most reckless in drawing
