Roses in Notwithstanding.

There is no plant with which those
who follow window gardening so much
desire success. as the rose, and none
that brings such regular crop of dis
appointment. The number Of letters
we receive every winter, embodying
in one form and another, the general
question: What is the matter with
my roses, is quite surprising. OF all
Towering plants the rose is the most
highly priced. and there is none, even
among the hardy, outdoor kinds, SO
beset the whole season through with
one or another Of its peculiar pests.
The lack of success in window cultiva-
ton may be due to one of several
causes. An unsuitable variety, i'm
proper previous treatment, bad soil.
too much heat, mildew, insects and
overwhelming, will either of them be
sufficient to account for the "bad
luck and it often happens that there
are several of these causes combined.
Whoever succeeds in growing roses
satisfactorily in house of the modern
style, where the tight windows are
made tighter by weather-strips, and
the furnace in the basemeEG renders
the air unfit, not only to plant and
human life. but the very furniture re-
bells by cracking, achieves horticul-
tural triumph. On the other hand, in
country houses, which city people
would regard as far from comfortable
and where of cold night the plants
must he moved away from the window
and covered with blanket, we have
seen roses flourish as well as one could
wish. The roses known as China,
Bengal, or Monthly, and some OF
the harder Tea roses, are best
suited TO window culture. The
old Daily Rose" belongs to
the China class; both the blush
and white varieties, are among the
most certain of any. In purchasing
roses for window culture, the advice
of an intelligent florist will be safer
than ones own selection from descrip-
lions in books and catalogues. Be

sure that the roses have been groom
in pots, and not taken up from the
open ground ported, and us they rarely
recover in time to be of much use. As
to soil, it matters little what il is,
provided it is porus, as liquid manure
may be used if it is poor. but if it be-
comes sogggy and close, the plants will
fail. Roses when growing need at
most a temperature of seventy degrees
in the daytime, and it may go fifteen
to twenty degrees lower at night.
Do not overwater: always let the soil
get little dry on the surface before
watering. Turn the ball of earth out
of the pot occasionally and see if there
are angle-worms; if they can not all
be picked off, water with clear lime
water. Shower as often as convenient;
once week at least, but twice or
three times is better; set the pots in "A
bath-tub or sink, and shower with a
fine sprinkler. If plant-lice appear,
shower with weak tobacco water, or if
the plant is small dip it in the tobacco
water. Sudden changes of temperature
and cold drafts are apt to cause mil
dew and should be avoided IN airing.
When a shoot has doomed, cut il
back to a good bud: do not be afraid
to use the knife. -Americon Ag,icuit-

PEEP At THE WATER BOUND LEVELS.
Considerable interest has been felt
IN this mine, not only only on ac-
count of the late unexpected strike
of water and the progress being
made in lowering it, but that large
body Of ore, or ledge, is known to
exist. Aud the impression prevails
Qrom the erroncotls reports of several
papers) that the fiow of water came
from the 500-foot level, caused by a
cross-cut. Believing this, all inter-
ested parties were doubly anxious to
ascertain the extent of the cross-cut,
and the quality of the ore. To learn
the true facts of the case, reporter
of THE TINES visited the mine yes
terday, and through the kindness of
Superintendent Scott was able to in
spect the premises.
WHERE THE WATER WAS STRUCK.
The water was not struck on the
500-foot level, as heretofore stated,
but ON the 350-foot level, about 800
feet fir M the shaft, and came from
the west side of the drift. The point
at which the water broke through
had been passed some ten days before
the break occurred, nor was the drift
following the west wall, hut was en-
tirely in vein matter. The day be-
fore it burst out the west side of the
drift was noticed to be swelling
somewhat and falling OF. A short
time before it occurred fissure or
seam appeared in the quartz, from
which water was dripping. Word
was Immediately sent IS the foreman,
but before he could descend the tis-
sure widened and the flow increased
SO rapidly that the men had barely
time to gather their tools and hurry
to the shaft; and when that point was
reached the water was waist-deep.
Some idea may be formed from tins
of the amount OF water, as it had
about 800 feet to flow to the shaft,
and the drift is an unusually wide
one. 1t is thought that for a few
hours the stream was equal to
ABOUT ONE HUNDRED INCHES,
For, notwithstanding both tanks were
running as fast as possible and the
pump working to its full capacity,
the 500-foot levels were flooded aud
the shaft filed up above the level
from which it started. On Saturday
it had been lowered below tae $50
foot level, but that drift could at
we'll be inspected from the slstt, s.
ingress was gained Through the air
shaft. The drift Is yet quite wet,
but an inspection of the point fgam
which the water issued shows il II
be caved in some ten or fifteen ieet
(probsbly to the west walD aud fully
thirty feet up from the top OF rhe
drift. Men were placed at work
yesterday, cleaning it out but full
shifts may not get to work before
the latter part of the week. This
water, coming as it dfd aad tr IN III
point, is looked upon as a u 81 Ia

Mr.. Edward King furnishes a
paper on "Montenegro," giving a
good deal of novel information in
regard to that remote principality,
including several graphic sketches
of the native population. Every
province has distinctly marked
type. The mountaineer and war
ri0r is a man six feet in hight, with
grave, thoughtful face, singularly
contrasting with his quiet, nervous
gait. He has high cheek bones,
like an American Indian; his eye
is black and piercing; and his
shoulders have a slight stoop pro-
duced by constantly bending for
ward as he ascends difficult nights.
He is perhaps the most agile hui
man being on European soil; there
is no haunt of the chamois which
he cannot follow; and even the
goats sometimes hesitate to go after
their shepherds when there is a
dangerous path to be crossed. The
Montenegro women are often the
objects Of pity to travellers, but they
claim no sympathy and acknowl-
edge no hardships. Their destiny
is to work and to suffer. They are
not even welcomed into the world,
and the birth of a daughter is re-
garded as a calamity. The girl
grows up neglected and often
cursed. She carries fagots of wood
on her head that she may earn a
few coins to buy arms for her
brother. She has no youth, and is
old at twenty-five. She is married
young, and bears children while
enduring labor in the fields which
would be too hard even for strong
men. The woman urges the war,
rior to the fight, loads his gun and
dresses his wounds. She is seldom
beautiful of feature, and the coarse
work which she performs soon ruin,
her form. Her virtue is beyond
reproach; intrigues are unknown n
Montenegro; and gallantry would
find a sharp reproof at the point Of
IL yataghan.
