Nor who bids first. but who bids
best, is the call Of the "Reformers' to
the two great Conventions which are
to meet this month, the first in Gin
cinnati and the second at st. Louis.
These Reformers cannot be called a
new party, because they do not lay
claim to such distinction by putting
out candidates Of their own; but they
do profess to be anxious to redeem the
country from Grantism, and we give
them credit for sincerity of purpose,
and shall continue to do 50, unless they
show the contrary by their works and
votes after the nominations shall have
been made by the Republicans and
Democrats.

BRIGGs & BROTHER, who can boast Of
conducting the largest seed bushes in
the known world, are arranging to com
pile work in which they will give to
the Horticultural and horticultural public
the benefit Of their thirty years Of ex-
psriencc in the culture of vegetable and
flower seeds. The work will be substan-
TALLY bound, and Its several hundred
pages will be illustrated with numerous
cuts, chromatic plates and succinct dir
ections with regard to the care and cul-
tsre Of everything known in the floral
and vegetable kingdom. We know Of
no one better qualified to treat on the
above better than Briggs 4 Brother,
whose seeds are sold in almost every
city, town, village, or hamlet in the I'm
tied States. They are practical growers
of seeds, and the forthcoming work will
emanate from eminently practical sour
ces. What Seth Green is to fish. Barry
or Purdy to fruits, Briggs s. Brother
are to seeds. A very large edition will
be published. which, 1t is we'll understood
will lessen the price per volume. Pur-
chasers Of the work outright will only
be charged cost, while the customers OF
Briggs s. Brother will receive it a. Q
premium on the purchase Of seeds. The
intended work will go to press about
May next, and the artists are now en-.
gagged upon the engravings. 1t will be
separate from the annual Catalogue,
which will be issued In December, or
from any other Of the publications of

was again removed to the Jail as the
only safe place to keep him. A num-
