Winter R0Om ldOrumenss.

Country people beyond all others can
make their homes beautiful at small ex-
pense, and the material for this cheap
adornment is particularly abundant at
this time of the year. There are not
only living plants in pots for the win
dow-siil, but cnlorod leaves, dried ferns
and grasses, and skeletonized plants, out
of which innumerable tasteful objects
may be made. But amongst the cheap
est and most interesting of these room
adornments is the hanging plants; which
may be suspended from hooks and
brackets, and by which the whole win
dow can be made 10 look like summer
scene in tho woods, although We be in
the midst Of winter.
In the closely-built cities some such
window gardening attempts are made,
but are generally failures. Some highly
ornamental China ware, or some highly
palGted or polished "rustIc" basket is
employed to hold the plants, but always
evidently to the plants misery. Plants
do not seem to admire these elaborate
preparations for them. They seem to
understand that they only occupy very
inferior position in the temple of honor.
and no wonder they die. In our country
homes We find them in old pots, shells,
stumps, or anything that can be impro-
viSed, and always with success.
What we have written here is sug-
gested by a Centennial experience. An
exhibitor makes use for hanging plant
purposes the husk Of the coca-nut and ii
is wonderful how plants thrive in it.
1t reminds US of what we have often
read about in the English. horticultural
papers, that cocanut refuse is an excel
lent material for the growthof plants.
Every body knows the cocanut; but all
do not know that this nut is inclOsed in
n thick, spongy covering or husl-of an
inch or two in thickness. These husks
airs cut across in the middle and make
two baskets, and can be easily suspend
ed with wire. AS we have already sug
gested there is great fertilizIng power
in the material. and there is the basket
at the same time.
The grower To whom we refer has in
his cocanut basket large numbers OF
dropping kinds Of cactuses and other
succulent plants, which we seldom think
TO use for room purposes, but which
seems to thrive in this way very WE'LL

FOR SPEAKER.

Hon. J. A. It. Dixon, member from
Russell, is mentioned as a candidate foI
Speaker of the House. Mr.. Dixon has
already had considerable Legislative ex
perience, is an earnest able man, and
would fill the position with great credit
and dignity. 1t seems to US to be tie
duty of the Western mem bcrs to unite
solidly upon him. By so doing they
can elect him. This portion OF the State
has never been favored with that posi-
ton, and by electing Mr.. Dixon we can
add power and influence to our section
of the State. We observed with pleas
ure that a number of the western men,
bers are committed to the support of
Mr.. Dixon, and would be pleased TO see
all Of them.

How an Eiector oncs weat Back en- His

|
| Should Governor Tilden or Governor
Hayes be elected by a majority of one,
or even three or four, in the Electoral
College, there woult be no little ankle
ty regarding the lives and health of the
individual Electors, who by their votes,
are to decide who is to be President OF
this great and glorioas country. In con-
nec,ion with this thought, ON historical
fact of considerable interest at present
is brought to mind, which SHOW that 10
the year 1912 Presidential elector
chosen by the Democratic party in New
Hampshire changed bis vote, went back
on his party in the Electoral College.
The Presidential EiectOr referred to was
Ex-Governor William Plummer. The
candidate Of his party was James Mon
roe, then President of the United States,
who was running for second term. In
November of 1920 the party was sue
cessiul, and the Democratic Electors
were chosen to man in every State in
the Union, among them Mr.. Plummer
from the Granite State. The Electoral
College met on February Ii, 1921, and
the vote was unanimous for President
Monroe with one exception. To the
surprise of everybody, Ex-Governor
Plummer voted forJo Quincy Adams.
The latter, in his "Memoirs," says be
was surprised and mortified that Gov
ernor Plummer should have cast his
vote for him. He had thought that, OF
all the Electors, none were more certain
to vote for Monroe than Governor
Plummer. Another writer has averred
that Plunmer's motive for voting
against the candidate Of his party was,
that he die not wish to have the vote
unanimous tor any President after
Washington. No comment on his action
in the papers of the day can be found.
Whatevernay have been his object, it
may be safely asserted that his action
provides historic precedent which
would be sufficiently striking to serious
iy agltate candidate whose success de
pended on a majority of one in vote
of 369. Surprising, for instance, that
Governor Hayes should obtain 1S5 Elec-
toral votes, and one of the Republican
Electors should take it into bis head
that Governor Tilden would be q better
President? Would there be any appeal
against his decision if be should decide
to vote for the candidate of the Democ-
racy ?-Boston Globe.

A DEMOCRATIC EYE.SJRg.

The "long lost" steamer Franklin ar
rived at New York last Friday, having
on board VIM. NJ. Tweed. He was
promptly taken to Ludlow street Jail,
He will hereafter be treated precisely
as other prisoners, and allowed no priv
Iiges. When the whereabouts of the
Franklin was not known, 1t was some
thing of o question if Tweed hadn't
stolen the vessel and gone into the bust
ness of piracy under the name Of "Red
Rover" or some other high sounding
"blood and thunder" nom de plume. But
tho "romance" of the thing is disslpated
and the actual, real and only VIM. VI.
Tweed is at home again, resting from
his foreign travels. Undoubtedly
many a Democratic heart firmly wishes
that the same VIM. NJ. Tweed vas D
perdition, rather than on American soil,
with the "four walls of q prison as his
best surety" If William would only
tell what be knows a number of Demo
cratic luminaries, whose rights could
they be accurately ascertained, would
DO short shrift and SIX feet OF
rope. 1t may again be convenient to
allow Tweed to visit his family Che has
such a domestic vein in his nature),
without imposing upon him the usual
restrictions thrown around prisoners.
Such, at least, will be the demand of his
Democratic feliow-citizen who are 30
devoutedly attached to him.
