FLOWERS nearly always begin TO fade and
droop after being kept for twenty hours in
wateri few may he revived by substituting
fresh, but all may be restored by the use OF
hot water. For this purpose place the flow
ers in scalding water, deep enough to cover
about one-third Of the length Of the stems.
BY the time this is cold the flowers will have
become erect and fresh, Then cut of the
shrunken ends of the stems, and put them
into cold water.

ANOTHER DECISION.

Besides suits to resist the payment of town
subscriptions to the stock OF the Ottawa
Oswego & Fox River Valley Railroad, sew
eral suits have been pending in which indi
vidual subscribers to the stock of that road
resisted payment, on the ground that in bull
ding the road the conditions on which they
subscribed were violated. Thus the subscrip
tons were made on condition that the road
should be built from Wenona TO Geneva, and
should be a competing road with the c. b. O
from Aurora to Chicago. Before the road
was completed, however, the company sold
that part of the road extending from Sucator
to WenOna, and then perpctually leased the
other part to the c. b. & q. company. Thus
| lated
Among others who resisted the payment OF
notes thus given for stock were Messrs. J. =
X +. \. Black, of Yorkvillc The case was
frst tried in the Kendall Circuit Court and
decided against the railroad company, Then
II was appealed to the Supreme Court, and
the decision Of the Court below reversed

Tor the Blacks, conceiving that justice had moi
been done his clients in the decision, got re
hearing ofthe case a, the last September tern
OF the court, and now the court makes anoth
er decision, re-afiirming their former decision
The main points Of the decision are
l. That the Blacks, by exchanging thei
notes for stock of the company, became mem
beers of the company, and thus parties to III,
wrong, il there was any.
2 As TO the lease, If the company had IN
power to make this sale and lease they wer

by the exercise of which appellees, us stock
holders, were bound, and they will be pr,

not question az this manner. And If the leas

TEA AND COFFEE.

Such is the innate vlclousness of the whole
tariff system, that no matter which way you
turn the screw, it always squeezes the people
Two years ago congress repealed the duty on
tea and coffee, in anticipation Of which action
the importers had been careful to let the
stock in the country run down so low, that
it took an active years importation after the
duty was removed to bring the stock up to
the ordinary demand. The consequence was,
that in spite of the removal Of the duty, no
apprecable fall in the price to consumers took
place. During the last year, however, the
heavy importation continuing, it became evi.
dent that the prices must soou come down
very materially; but then the cry is raised
that to save the treasury from bankruptcy the
duty must be restored. This happens sin
guary just at the time when the stock of cot.
fee and tea in the country is large enough to
last IA couple of years without the importation
of another pound, The result now Will there.
fore be, that the people must continue to pay
the high prices, in spite of the heavy cheap
stock on hand, and the government will get No
revenue, because very little for the next year
or two will be imported 1t is the game of

THE NEW BISHOP.

The hubbub which DR.. Sullivan and DR.
Powers, of Chicago, arc raising over the cleo
ton Of DR.. De Koven as bishop OF this do
cese, has an unpleasant and unseemly look tc
outsiders, especially in view Of the wei
known fact that both these gentlemen had
aspirations for the same position, though
somehow their eminent qualifications were
strangely overlooked or ignored by the con
vention. A little earnestness on their part in
their opposition in the convention was easily
psrdoned, but after being fairly beaten, TO
pursue the subject with such scrimony is un-
digpided. o! least, rot to say unmaHly and
unehristian.
DR.. De koven has not yet positively &C
cepted, but should he do so, the next step
will be, that the standing committee Of Iii.
nois will transmit the testimonials of his
election to the standing committee of every
other diocese ia the country, As in number,
who will return them to the standing com.
miitee here with the Recommendation that
the bishop elect be confirmed, or otherwise.
When majority Of alternatives is reached,
the standing committee will notify the pre-.
siding bishop Of the church of the fact, and
ne sAeFeup9a will send The credentials and
testimonials to ali the bishops they =, ''D''

recommendations TO him. If majority &C
quiesce, he then informs the standing commit ,
tee here of that fact, and Immediately makes

position of hands, which concludes the cere-
mony. The ceremony will take place at the

M COMPROMISE


sent from New Orleans to the effect that Il
leaders of the opposing factions in Louisiar

q upon basis that would give peace to In;
, unhappy state, The basis of the compromi,
was said to have been arranged by the col

and would be agreed to by both faction
|. The terms of settlement were substantially 6
follows:
/. That the Legislature was again to NEE
just as it did on Jan. 4th, and ignoring tn
election of both Wilt and Hahn to the speak

conservatives that had been expelled by ID
Trobrland, and then proceed to elect ne,

turb it or to impcach Gov. Kellogg, but woulG
hereafter accord to him all necessary anC
IcRllliliale suppoit, AZ
While il is said this basis was fixed up b,
the congressional committee it is due to say
however, that the committee deny having
had anything to do with ii except as indivd
uals. The radicals are said to have first sig
nifed their willingness TO accept the terms
and it is certain that the conservative mem
bers of the legislature voted to acceSt it by

The democrats III congress, who are conscien,
tious in their scruples as to the constitutional
power, cannot be expected to vote for such a
measure; but with the republicans, who have
never allowed the constitution to stand IN
their way when a partisan advantage was to
be gained, the case is different; and they
would readily be excused tor stretching the
point when In all probability the result would
be a partisan disadvantage
