HOW TO DRY PLANTS.

Materials required are common cart
ridge paper, thick white blottins paper.
cotton wadding and millboard, all cut to
the same size. The plants should be
gathered in dry weather and soon after
the flowers open, when their colors arc
brightest. Succulent plants (such as
daffodil, orchis or stonecrop) should be
nut into scalding water, with the eXcep-
ton of the flowers, for minute OF two,
then laid on the table to dry.
Arrange the specimens and papers III
the following order: AIiil-board, cart
ridge paper, waddins (split open, and
the glazed side placed next to the cart
ridge paper,) blotting paper; the speci-
mems, having small pieces of waddins
placed in and around the flowers to
draw off the moisture as quickly as pos
sible, blotting paper, wadding as before,
cartridge paper, mill-boald. When the
specimens, ETC., are thus arranged
heavy weights should be put on them;
about thirty pounds the first day, sixty
pounds afterwards. Remove them from
under pressure in a day or two; care
full take away all the papers, ETC., ex-
cept the blotting papers between which
the specimens are placed; put these in
a warm air to dry, whilst the removed
papers, etc., are dried in the sun, or by
the fire. When dry (but not warm)
place them in the same order as before;
put all under the heavier pressure for a
few days when (if not succulenD they
will be dry.
Flowers of different colors require
different treatment to preserve their
colors. Blue flowers must be dried
with heat, either under case of hot
sand before fire, with hot iron, or in
q cool oven. Red flowers are. injured
by heat; they require to be washed with
muriatic acid, diluted in spirits of wine,
to fix the color. One part of acid to
three parts of spirit is about the pro
portion. The best brush to apply this
mixture is the head of thistle when in
seed, as the acid destroys hair pencil,
and Injuries whatever it touches Except
glass or china); therefore it should be
used with great care. Many yellow
flowers turn green even after they have
remained yellow some weeks; they
must therefore be dried repeatedly be-
fore the fire, and again after they are
mounted on paper, and kept i'll a dry
place. Purple flowers rcqni:e as much
care. Or they soon turn light brown.
White flowers turn brown If handled or
brushed before they are dried.
Daisies, pansies. and some other flow
ers, must not be ren..v:l fran under
pressure for two or three days, or the
petals will curl up. As all dried plants
Gerns excepted) are liable to be infest-
ed by minute insects, "a small quantity
of the poison, corrosive sublimate, dis
solved in spirits of wine, should he add
ed to the paste, which it will also pre-
serve from mould. The best cement
for fixing the specimens on to the paper
or cardboard is gum-paste. 1t is COM
posed of thick gum-water and -four
mixed in warm water, by adding the
two together, warm, and of q consist
ency that will run off the hair pencil.

TAlbsny Eyening Journal /


Here is the law which Gov. Tilden
placed upon the statute-book Of New
York last year, and which now stands
there in full force:
CHAPTER 73, LAWS or 1875.
An act TO establish specie payments
on all contracts or obligations pay
able i'm this State in dollars and made
after Jan. !, 1879.
SECTION l. Al taces leried and
con fymed in this state on and after
.1un. /, 1879, shall be collected IN gold,
United States gold certificates, or Ma
tional Band notes, which are redeem
able in gold on demand.
Sec. 2. Every contract or obliga-
ton, made or implied, and payable
within this State, or made or implied
after Jan. /, 1879, and payable IN dol
lars, shall be payable in United States
coin of the standard of weight and
fineness established by the laws of
the United States at the time the con-
tract or obligation shall have been
made or implied.
Approved, March p, 1876.
SAMUEL j. TILDEN, Governor.
This law, approved, signed, and
placed upon the statute-book by Gov.
Tilden, is positive and absolute. 1t
requires all taxes to be paid in gold
or in national notes redeemable in
gold.
The law of the United States for
the redemption of national notes in
coin on and after Jan. l, 1879, pro-
vided the means for complying with
this law of the State and for paying
the taxes in gold or in notes redeem
able in gold as it requires. That law
provides as follows:
On and after the lst day of Janu-
airy, 1879, the Secretary of the Treas
ury shall redeem in coin the United
States legal-tender notes then out
standing on their presentation for re-
demption at the Office of the Assistant
Treasurer of the United States, in
sums not less than $50.
It will thus be seen that this clause
provides the way by which gold or
gold notes can be had to pay the
taxes as required by the law of the
State, and that without it there is no
way of procuring them except by
buying the gold at premium in
Wall street.
Yet Gov. Tilden and his party now
propose to strike down this provision
Of the United States law. The infla-
tionists and rcpudiators demand its
repeal; Gov. Tildcn succumbs to
them; the Democratic majority of
the House of Representatives have
voted to repeal the provision; and he
approves and sustains their work.
The result is that Gov. Tilden re-
quires the people of New York to
| pay their taxes in gold, and at the
same time does all he can to take
away from them the means of getting
the gold. He compels the people OF
New York to, pay in Gold, while he
proposes that the people of the rest
of the country may pay in depreci.
ated paper.
Are there honest and intelligent
men that can any longer be deceived
by the claims Of this pretended "Re.
| former.

not arbitrarily restore confidence, de-

that increasing Ahe volume of curren-

was absurd.
Well directed labor is the only true
source of prosperity. The amount Of

HoN. II. D. FouKE, Of this city,
made a speech in Galena Saturday
night. One of his first arguments
was founded upon the quotation that
"all presidents ever had been and
would be controlled by the men who
elected Them" Hence he concluded
that the election of Hayes and
Wheeler meant inevitably four years
more of "Grantism." The Galena
Gazette adopts Mr.. Fouke's premises,
and in accordance with Mr.. Fouke's
logic, inquiries of him what sort OF
an administration may be expected
from a president elected by 100 solid
Confederate electoral votes from the
South, backed by John Morrissey and
his compeers at the North2 Mr..
