Ferneries do not require watering often, as
they cannot get dry as house plants do; and
they need not be, as many suppose il nee
essary, air tight. Pot plants for winter
blooming should be potted IN September,
using a well mixed leaf compost Given
light and water in the winter, they will bloom
ali the time, and in spring may be transfer
red to The border, and will bloom all
summer. Gala lilies should rest through
the summer, be dried of, and the first Of
September the bulbs should be taken from
the earth, cleaned, given new soil, and
brought into the house. They will then
bloom all winter. Bouvardias, colens, e
gonias and geraniums are all good house
plants, as they seem to stand the dry heat
Of our rooms very we'll. The Chinese prim-
rose is also desirable house plant as it is
great bloomer and does we'll 10 common
rooms, standing heat and cold we'll. The
azalia also makes choice room plant, as
it remains in bloom a long while. After
having made its growth for the winter it
should be dried of till another fall. Too
much water for house plants is as bad as
not enough, and they had better frequently
suffer for a drink OF water than from a
sour soil caused by too much moisture in
The pot. The leaves of house plants should
be frequently moistened that the breathing
pores may be kept open and the plauts
thereby keep healthy"

ENTERPRISE.

The following circular, received from
General Freight Agent, J. T. Goddard, Of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad,
shows that one, at least, of our western en-
terprises is defyiDg the hard times. The
Santa Fe Is one Of the most valuable wes-
tern roads, and its enterprising spirit is
worthy of the highest commendation.
While other roads are waiting and quarrel
ing over the question of Government aid,
in order to extend their lines to the Pacific,
the Santa Fe is solving the problem by
steadily and surely pushing its line ahead,
and seems determined to 20 through to the
Pacific coast, independent of Government
aid. The circular announces the opening
OF a new division, as follows:
We take pleasure IN advising you OF the
completion of the southern extension of this
road from la Junta to Trinidad, Col, form
ing a through line, OF standard gauge, from
the Missouri river.
Trinidad is situated fifteen miles north OF
the New Mexico line, and is five miles south
OF FL Moro, on the direct Government road
10 Fort Union, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Sill
yer City, and AL principal points in New
Mexico and Arizon.
1t is distant from Atchison sS miles, and
from Kansas City 652 miles.
Shippers and others will be interested in
knowing, that by this line through cars Will
be run between the Missouri river and Trini-
dad, without transfer, which cannot be done
by any other line, owing TO the change OF

The Sd'.isa, ian, for October, contains
among other valuable articles a paper on
Sunlight and Solaiization, in Health and
Disease" by L. C. Angel, NJ. d. 1t is a
paper full of interest, and particularly COM
mendable to a great many persons who
would know the benefits of sunshine to
health. Itgiyes the history and shows the
practical utility OF sun bathing in both
ancient and modern times, with illustra-
tive examples reported by eminent physi-
clans; also the true philosophy and infiu-
ence Of blue light-the effects of arresting
the intensity of the sums rays, or cutting
of a portion of them in certain cases. This
paper should be read BY all persons who
would know the advantage of sunlight and
how to use it to the best effect rs sanitary

by the Indians early on the morning OF

An attack at this particular time and loca-
ton was wholly unsupported, since the In

miles in advance, which was afterwards
found to be the case, but the Indians at this
point ssnt forward their families, and with

lEhpofia Leussr, ISL
Bancroft Hall was crowded on Saturday
afternoon to hear Hon. VIM. A. Phillips,
present member of Congress from the first
district, and Senator John J. Ingalls,. The
knighs' Templar Band opened the..meeting
by some excellent music. when Mr.. Phil
lips was introduced by DR.. j. j. Wright,
and proceeded to discuss the issues of the
day. As We heard only portion of his
speech We will not attempt to make a sy-
nopsis of it. Suffice it to say that Mr..
Phillips entertains opinions upon the mon
ey questions which are, for the most part,
in harmony with those of the Greenback
party. He did not think the appreciation
in value of the greenback WAS due to the
resumption act, or to any legislation upon
the money question, but to the fact alone
that the exports of the coun ry during the
past two years were greatly in excess OF the
imports, which went to prove that this
country was rich and able to pay its
debts.
Mr.. Ingalls, commenced BY a handsome
comp. Hent to the Knights Templar Band.
He thought he had never heard better
one, and that 4 man whose soul was not
stirred within him by such concord Of
sweet sounds was tit only for treasons, STRAIT
agems and spoils. We made no notes of
Mr.. Ingalls, speech, and for fear We might
do him some injustice by attempting to re-
produce any considerable portion OF it, We
will only say that he showed that there
was still Use for the Republican party
that the rebel spirit and States rights doc
trines were not dead nor sleeping, and read
an extract from a speech made by Ben Hill,
in Georgil, recently, as proof of his as
sertions. Some OF his ideas on the money
question were not exactly in harmony with
those OF Mr.. Phillips, but then the Green
hackers themselves do not all agree, and as
it is a question uponwhich all parties differ
somewhat, there is nothing to be said
against either of the gentlemen on that
score. Both speakers obtained the closest
attention throughout, and We have no
doubt convinced more than one mind that
until a party could be organized on a
broader platform and truer principle than
the National Greenback party is based up
on, the best thing to do is to stand by the
Republican party and prevent the ascen-
dency to power Of the Democratic.

Ben Ruler fsackeA By the Bible,

A correspondent wants to know why We
denounce Ben Butler, as he is not of the
Democratic party, and yet makes use Of
Democratic principals and and ideas to put
down the dominant party. We refer our
correspondent to Luke ix.. verses 40 and
SO, for an answer:
And John answered, and said: Master,
We saw one casting out devils in thy name,
and We forbade him, because he followeth
not with U.S.
"And Jesus said unto him: Forbid him
not for he that is not against US is for u.s."

Illinois Republicans have the champion

their last convention he was not SO specific

A very important element in Russia's re-
cent successful struggle with Turkey was
the colossal progress she has made in rail
road construction since the Crimean war,
enabling her to move large bodies of troops
into Asia Minor on the one hand and down
to the Pruth on the other, whereas, in the
Crimean campaign, her armies moved on
loot and subsistence was carried in wagons.
1t is ominous of future events in Asia that
abe has now perfected arrangements for
building railroad from Tifiis, on the south
side Of the Caucasus,-her souihernmost
railroad limit,-around the Caspian Sea to
Teheran, the Capital of Persia. 1t il even
said that abe also contemplates . continu-
ance of the line from Teheran southeast.

where Russian diplomacy has already 90
far circumvented England As to threaten
war between the latter and Afghanistan,-a
struggle which could hardly be regarded
with indifference by Russia.

A Lonx.I.iyed Monopoly.

Under an act passed at the late session OF
Congress, the fre-e1tinguisher patent has
been extended till 1895. For many years
after the first attempt to utilize the Princi-
pie Of the extinguisher, the patent office re-
fused to patent the invention, on the ground
that it lacked patentable features, being
only an adaptation Of the common soda
fountain. The act of Congress above men
toned permitted the issue of a patent TO
the original dIscoverer, whose application
was rejected in 1887, and several times af-
terward, and he and his associates will thus
have a monopoly OF the manufacture for
the next seventeen years.
