M4RT'S LITTLE LAMB.

The following is the Chinese version OF
Mary and her lamb:
Was gal name Mol had lamb
Tea all Samee hite snow
Eyly place Mol gal waikee
Ba la hoppee long TOO.
we heard a son of Erin trying to surround
Mary and her little lamb the other day, and
this is the way he understood it:
Besorry. Mary had little shape,
AND the wool was white intOIrIy.
An Wherever Mary wud sthir her sthumps
The young shape would follow her completely.

THE LEADING NEWSPAPERS,
THE EVENING STAR.
THE WEEKLY STAR.

The proprietors OF THE STAR present TO the
public its daily and weekly editions, respes-
lively, as not only the com pleteS and best. bot
also the cheapest epitome OF events occurring
at the national capital, and Of general news -
well, to be found anywhere. How well yhs
public understands this is conclusively shown
by the exceptionally wide circulation they
both enjoy, not in the City OF washingtoa
alone, but throughout all the States and Ter
ritories.
In order that the reader not now familiar
with the paper and its strong hold on the pub
lie may understand at a glance upon what
elements its great popularity is based, the
opinions of some OF its contemporaries as to
its merits are appended. 1t is needless to add
that no person is so good a Judge OF the valus
of any given newspaper as the men who con :
duct newspapers themselves.

Gerqntums:a"C Clifford Beauty" "vic,
torla, Lady Plymouth" "OdOratissimum -
Sdluias.-'.S plendens," "Cerulea"
Panstes.-TO obtain these in perfection they
must be reproduced from the seed every year,
by sowing in August and either pOtting them
late in the fall or covering them well where
the plants stand. The large specimens we see
ID nurseries and well cultivated gardens are
all grown from seed planted the previous
Petunias.-These have been much improved
and greatly increased in number of late years.
Double ones are now produced beautifully
Varlegated. AS purchasers can see them all

though they are all attractive on account of
their beautiful foliage and rich fragrance.
Observation-Disclosures dwarf.
FerOnicG.-Seyeral varieties and very
beautiful, but they require indoor protection
in winter.
Fuchsids.-TlRre are many varieties of those
now wellknOwn and popular flowers; but
they are essentially dollhouse plant. where
they will bloom all winter as we'll as in the
open ground during summer, if continued in
the pots and protected from the sun in the
