the SPEECH or 4 DsmAeodUE


Samuel j. Tilden, the great usufruct, !"
made speech at a reception on Tuesday
evening. at the Manhattan Club, in New
York. It was characteristic of the man, and
was in effect lamentation over the fact that
s. ]. T. was not " counted in as President
Of the United States. He "disclaimed any
thought of personal wrong done him. /" Of
course. Tilden has always been remarkable
for self-abnegation. He asserted that the
men who were " not elected were counted in
and the men who were elected were counted
out and then predicted terrible consequences
in morals as aresult thereof 1t is brazen impu-
dence for this man to talk thus. He knows
that all the troubles growing out OF the late
Presidential election were the result of the
fraud, intimidation and fiendish tactics Of his
peculiar friends in theS outh, aided by north
ern Democrats, and that he was cognizant OF
them, If, indeed, he did not himself plan them;
for whatever else he is, he is an accomplished
master in low cunning and unscrupuloust tactics.
II i'll becomes man to whom the charge OF
attempting to buy an elector and bride
governor came so close as to enter his own
house and fasten its proofs upon one in his
own employ--it i'll becomes such man to talk
Of having been " counted out" He knows that
the disgrace Of the nineteenth century Is this
that after war Of four years in an effort to
destroy the Union by men who now make up
the effective force Of the Democratic party of
the country--these same men (who were too
magnanimously given their forfeited citizen
ship have used their power to defraud Of their
votes the colored men who we're true to the
country and to liberty, and who, had they
have had as fair an opportunity Of voting
their sentiments as Republicans have in the
North (outside Of the great Democratic bull
wark of Democracy and fraud--New York
city,, would have carried seven or eight
Southern states for Hayes, instead of three.
And now because the gross fraud of robbing
a political party of their elective franchise did
not succeed in three of these states, this
righteous specimen of political morality-this
wrecker Of railroads and maker of incorrect
revenue returns--thinks the country is going
to the bad
Mr.. Tildcn can mourn over the great wrong
done the country in the failure to place him
in power, but he nor his friends, nor the
leaders of his party, have any words of con-
domination at the assassinations and whip
pings and prosecutors in the South because
men dare to be Republicans. Even now a
Democratic governor of a great Democratic
state confesses that he dare not bring to JUS
tice the murdercrs of the Chisholm family
murdered because they were Republicans
because the people of the county are sym
pathy with the murderers. With such a
state of feeling in Southern states, any one
can judge which party has been defraud-
ed Of the fruits of tho elective franchise

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Colored Light and Plan Il,

A correspondent of the Globe, Toronto,
Ont, gives the result of some experiments in
1876, showing the effects of colored light on
plants as follows:
planted in box some curled cress seed,
and so arranged bottles of carmine fluid,
ehromate of potassa, adctate of copper, and
the sulphate of ammonia, that all but a small
space OF earth was exposed to light, which
had permeated three-fourths of an inch of
these media. For some drys the only ap.
parent difference was that the earth continu-
ed damp under the green and blue fluids,
whereas it dried rapidly under the red and
yellow.
The plumula burst the cutcle in the blue
and green lights before any change was evil
dent in the other parts. After ten days under
thelblue fluid, there was crop of cress of as
bright green as any which was in full light,
and far more abundant. Thecrop was scant un
der the green fluid, and of pale unhealthy
color. Under the yellow solution but two or
three plants appeared, yet they were less pale
than those which had grown in green light.
Beneath the red bottle the number of plants
which grew was also small, although rather
more than in the spot the yellow covered.
They, too, were of an unhealthy color.
now reversed the order of the bottles,
fixing the red in place of the blue, and the
yellow in that of the green. After a few
days exposure the healthy cress appeared
blighted, while few more unhealthy plants
began to show themselves from the influence
of the blue rays in the spot originally subject
ed to the red.
1t is evident from this that the red and yell
low rays not merely retard termination, but
positively destroy the vital principle in the
seed; prolonged exposure uncovered with
genial warmth, free air, and, indeed, all that
can induce growth fail to revive the blghted
vegetation. repeated the experiments many
times, varying the fluids, but the results have
been the same. have the above facts strik-
ingly exemplifed where the space covered by
the bichromate Of potassa is without plant.
These results merit the attention of those
who are engaged in the study of vegetable
economy.

Think of that Edith. That poor child cross
ing the ocean to find me! She knew very
little English, and had her pocket picked the
first day she landed. Then she pawned her
jewels. 1t was the story of struggling against
poverty. What could she do, brought up to
every luxury, to earn her bread? Finally she
fell in with that dancer who took her to the
theatre, and there you found her, and my
sister saved my wife, God bless you, Edithp'
After this very lucid explanation there was
a great deal of congratuation, kissing and
embracing all around. Then I very appro-
priately remarked something to the effect
that "the prince would enjoy his own again."
'sVat is dat you call him? LIE prince? Oh
oui, il est mon prince-il est mon roll" half
laughed, half sobbed my enthusiastic adopted
sister-in-law.

PrOpagatiug by Cuttings.

A method practiced by an Austrian
nurseryman, is, according to the New York
World, as follows: Cuttings of shrubs and
trees are taken from to IL inches long,
according to the kind. The leaves arc
removed from the lower portion which is to
enter the ground, but those which will come
above ground are left. Beds are prepared
for them in the open air by thorough digging
and levelling and afterwards applying
superficial layer about 2 inches thick of
rotten manure from spent hot bed. The
cuttings are then stuck in about inches
apart and in somewhat oblique direction.
Each bed, when filled in, is surrounded with
a lath fence so that shade may be given when
the sun is very hot, and the cuttings are we'll
watered with rose-spouted can. The only
further care necessary is a sprinking over
head three or four times day during the
first week, lit the weather be very hot, and
once day afterward. In the course of five
or six weeks, and further shading will be
unnecessary. Late in the autumn layer of
rough manure, or inches thick, is spread
over for winter protection.
