How TO KEEP FLOWERS BLOOMING A
LONG TIME.-All lovers OF flowers must
remember that one blossom allowed to
mature or ego to seed" Injuries the plant
more than dozen new buds. Cut your
flowers then, all Of them, before they be-
gin to fade. Adorn your rooms with
them, put them on your tables, send
bouquets to your friends who have no
flowers, or exchange favors with those
who have. You will find that the more
you will cut of, the more you will have.
In this, as in other things, the wise man
spoke truly when he said: "There is
that scattereth and yet increaseth, and
there is that withholdeth more than is
need, and it tendeth to poverty" All
roses, after they have ceased blooming,
should be cut back that the strength OF
the root may go to forming new roots for
next year, and on these bushes not a
seed should be allowed to mature.

forty years old, and kept house by him.
self in a room In that building. He was
a widower, and had considerable money.
For some time past he seemed to be de-
spondeDt, owing partially to his having
lost his wife about ten months ago, and
partially by having lost about 80, 600,
which he had loaned to q hardware mer"
chant named Chas. Eyman, who lately
made an assignment.
The deceased was last seen alive the
evening before. He has two brothers
living, named Herman and Henry
Schuirring.
For the last two weeks, the deceased
drank freely and was altogether reck-
less in his manner. Last week he re-
marked to one OF his neighbors that he
wished he was dead.
Coroner Maley was notified and i'm
paneled jury. The inquest was held
this morning.
Henry Kriedler, a neighbor, testified
to finding the man dead last night in
bed.
Chas. Eyman, to whom the deceased
had loaned $4,000, testified that the de-
ceased was known to him for twenty
five years; that he was man of steady
habits; that he had lived at his house
he had borrowed the above amount at
7 per cent, and had given the deceased
mortgage on his house. On the 10Th of
October made an assignment. The de.
ceased came to me, and l told him l
thought he was all right.
Henry Schuirring, brother OF the de-
ceased, testified that his brother was q
farmer; that Tor the last three or four
years he had lived from the interest of
his money. On the 1st OF this month the
deceased talked to me about his money,
and thought that he would lose some Of
IL, as the mort gage he held was not the
best. He did not seem TO be worried
about it. do not think that he took his
own life.
John R. Selkirk, policeman, was un-
der the impression that he look his own
life. He says that he noticed bottle
with some clear, odorless liquid, and an
empty cup, standing near the deceased,
which showed Indications OF recent use.
The testimony Of the witnesses did
not show that the man had committed
suicide, and it was thought unproitable
TO hold post mortem.
The jury, alter short consultation,
brought in verdict of death from heart
disease.

Miss HolIister, Corresponding Secre-
tary, then read her report, which was
devoted principally to the laundry--the
new feature. She said: The laundry
was started in February with less than
5000. OF this sum, nearly $l00 was sub
scribed, and $500 realized from dra-
matte entertainment. No one under
twelve years of age is admitted, % cents
day being paid to beginners as wages,
which are then raised as they obtain
proficiency. Twelve women and girls
have been admitted since February, and
all the work done has been first class.
The needs of the department were set
forth as more work and more scholars.
"We must have scholars If the laundry
is to fulfill its object, otherwise we shall
not feel repaid for the necessary labor
and anxiety connected with 1t, and will
abandon the project at the end Of the
wear. The laundry should be self-sup-
porting, and to make it so we need large
quantities OF steady custom"
After the reading of other reports and
letters, and the delivery of short ad-
dresses by different parties, the Socie-
ties elected the following Boards:

ELECTION EXCERPTS.
What The Nesc York Papers Say

What The Nesc York Papers Sag.
New York, Nov. 16.-According to
the New York papers the political stu
alton is unchanged. The Herald claims
that the Democratic majority in Flori-
da cannot be cut below 500, or Tilden's
below 4U0, while the Times claims that
the Republicans have carried both the
national and state tickets.
The Herald's Columbia, SC, special
says a rough calculation made from
official returns from % counties at the
Office of the Secretary of state, and al
estimate on the vote on governor of the
four remaining counties, gives Hayes
about 1000 majority oven Tilden. The
same authority gives the state to Hamp-
ton by about 1900 majority. Neither
of these estimates is regarded by the
Democrats as correct. They claim
that Tilden will carry a. sufiiciency of
the electoral vote to elect him, but
will not disclose their reasons for this
assertion. The Republicans now con-
cede the election Of Hampton on the
face of the returns, but claim that the
remainder of the State ticket is elect
ed. ~ g
Louisiana.
The Herald's New Orleans special
states that Senators Kelly and Sherman
and Messrs Stoughton, Hale and Kas-
son arrived last night. 1t has now been
finally decided by the Democratic visi-
tors to entrust their case to Trumbull,
Palmer and Potter, who will remain
here to watch its conduct. All the
other gentlemen now here in that in
terest will probably return in the course
of a few days. The policy to be follow
ed subsequently will he a matter Of
further consideration, which the nation
al committee will probably dictate.
That Louisiana will be counted for
Hayes by the board is now the univer-
sally accepted belief.
Giren Up.
Chicago, Nov. 16.-Private advices
show that the Democrats have given
all hope of carrying Louisiana for Til
den.
This Settles II.
Charleston. Nov. 18.-Full official
returns show that in 81 of the 30 coun-
ties in the state the majority for Hayes
is 1889 more than the majority for
Chamberlain whose majority in Fl
counties is 9,446 and Hayes majority
10,495. There is no change in the
Democratic majority claimed in the
entire state which is 1889 for Hamp-
ton.
The Florida Returns.
Tallahassee, Nov. 16.-The returns
are all expected in this week. The
canvass will begin early next week.

NEW YORK.
Erarts on the Coaundra4n

Erdrts on the C0nundrlt7n.
New York, Nov. 16.-Wm. NJ. Evarts
to-day declined to discuss whether the
House of Representatives could pre-
vent the counting Of the electoral vote
by refusing to sit in joint session with
the Senate. He claims, however, that
the constitutional provisions which re-
quire them to sit, also the counting, de-
wolves on the president of the senate,
and that counting in the presence of
both houses was provided chiefly to give
dignity and solemnity to the occasion.
He believes there will be no difficulty
and that both houses will be in their
places at the counting.
Sammy's Forloyn Hope.
The general indications this morning
tend to create the impression that South
Carolina has elected Hampton Governor
and Hayes electors and that the Demo-
Gratis practically abandon all hope of
Louisiana and renew their hopes of
Florida, where the vote is evidently very
close. However. there is nothing def
initely reliable on either Of the forego-
ing points.
Oswald Ottendorfer telegraphs from
New Orleans, claiming 5000 Democratic
lLldJOlllN. Dul says tIC lCttl DifS OOtlu
will throw out the entire vote of the
others and give the Republican electors
certificates.
The World Speaks.
The World, replying to the Herald,
declares editorially thit in Louisiana
the courts are not open to either party
on the question of q disputed election
count, but that the findings and con
illusions of the returning board are in
delible and irreversible by any state,
executive or judicial power. The World
also scouts the story of Blaine's propos-
ed election to the senate presidency,
BECAUSE his term runs only to the 4th of
March next.
Likewise the Times.
The Times referring tojthe case of
elector Watts Of Oregon, says the only
question to settle is whether his inelig-
Utility can qualify any efector on the
Democratic ticket, and adds that the
legal principle which underlies that
question has been settled in a variety of
cases always adversely to the claim of
the minority candidate to succeed to
the place which some infOrmality pre-
vented the candidate elected by the ma
jority from filing.
The Times also points out the ineon-
sistency of claiming that northern state
officers. endowed by no state law with
other than ministerial functions, can
properly refuse certificates to ineligible
electors, while also insisting on the
purely ministerial powers Of the Louis
lana returning board simply to count
actual votes, Notwithstanding the
| Louisiana law specifically imposes judi
cial functions and powers upon said
board.
Foul Play Suspected.
F. W. Tiffany, of California, nephew
Of August Belmont, left here October
9th, for Newport, r. L., since which
nothing has been heard from him. He
had considerable money and valuable
[ specimens of gold. There + fears of
foul play, though a relative thinks he
may have returned to California.
The .Elector Question.
The Post cites among many Others
the California case Of Saunders against
Hayne, to show that where a majority
at an election votes for a disqualified
person the n having the next highest
vote is not elected.

A Serious Democratic Blunder.

A Serious Democratic Blunder.
Hartford, Nov. 1G-It has been dis
covered that on some of the Democrat
ic ballots cast in the State, the name of
Charles r. Ingersoll, n Of the electors
was printed .sIngersoll." In one town
nearly all the ballots cast were of this
description. How extensively they
were used is not known. The canvass
ers would most likely count these votes
for the regular nominee, but the case
seems similar to the one reported from
South Carolina.

question whether they are fraudulently
or Yi9lently cast, 0F Otherwise initiated,
involves a Modification Of the provisions
Of the LAYS Of Louislslaa, which have
alfeady been adjudieated as valid by
the Supreme court, and would be wholly

states of the Union which had provided
laws to protect the rights Of voters and
the purity of the ballot. We cannot,
therefore, coneur in your proposition
for a conference on that basis.
