MosTo of our plants are injured by too
much heat. For a general collection of
house plants it is not best to allow the
thermometer to be above seventy, and
If they could be kept in a room where
the thermometer would usually not
range above siXty-flve it would be much
better. In the night time fifty is high
enough. Give a little fresh air every
fine day and all the sunlight %attainable.
An effort should be made to give mois-
ture to the atmosphere, for our own
good, as well as for the health Of the
plants. This can be done in various ways
by e%vaporating water, but when plants
are in a separate apartment, like a little
greenhouse, it can be done more on
veniently and %effectually, although this
separate apartment be only a bay win
dow, with glass doors, separating 1t from
the living room. In this, water can be
used freely, by sprinkling, ETC., and a
moist atmosphere preserved. The tenn
perature, with this arrangement, can be
lower than would be comfortable in the
living-room, and the plants are saved
from dust and many evils which we
manage to endure and live, but which
generally prove too much for the plants.

COLUMBIA, July l0.-The evidence
given before the committee yesterday
and to day implicates D. T. Corbin,
bettor known in South Carolina as
"Munohausen" Corbin, former United
States District Attorney. In the
misappropriation Estate funds known
as tho "Phosphate Royalty" to So
cure his election as United States
Senator from South Carolina, Corbin
it is said, gave each membor of the
Mackey House two hundred dollars
for his vote to send him to tho United
States Senate. He WAS elected by
that so-called House of Representa-
tives, and won't to Washington and
claimed his seat over M. G. Butler,
elected by tho Wallace, or lawful
House. Corbin got wind of the evil
dence which would most probably be
given against him, and on yesterday
sailed for Europe. His splendid tu
turo in the United States Senate
| which was lavishly boasted of by his
political friends here, will thus be cut
short, and Butler will doubtless be
seated.

He Scratched His Toe.

A Brewery Hill man took O bath
last Sunday morning, as his uhual
custom, (says tho Huron County
Chronicle) and the memory of that
bath still clings to him, oven as a
piece OF court plaster clings to sore
spot. He finished his abIutions, and
before robing himself entirely, back
ed up to the stove to got we'll dried
off.
There was a rousing fire and the
surface Of tue stove glowed aud glis--
tened with heat. The man stood
within a few inches Of it, absorbing
the genial warmth, whom all of q
sudden his loft big toe began to itch.
He stopped down to scratch it. The
stove seemed to move few inches
nearer to him, and with fearful
yell he sprang four feet in the air.
Coming down his feet struck on o
bar Of soap, which slid from under
him and he sat down on the floor. He
got right up and began a Sitting
Bull war dance, around the room,
yelling at his lungs best. Ills wife
rushed to tho door and in anxious
tones inquired through tho key
hole:
"Willi@m Henry, what under the
