DRYING THE GRASSES.

Those in which the panicle is grace
full and dropping, should be dried SO as
to preserve the natural form. If such
are tied in punches and hung up care
lessly, they will be Disappointing when
dry. A handy method IS to have a
broad and not very deep box OF said,and
stick the stems in this. Those kinds in
which the flowers are in a close and
spikc-hke cluster, may be tied IN con-
yenient punches and hung up, heads
down; little practice will teach the
proper treatment if ii be remembered
that the form in which the grass is dried
can not be afterwards changed. Any
airy place will answer for drying, such
as an unoccupied room. or an Old
fashioned garnet. When the stems are
quite dry. the flower cluster will be so;
and if the drying place is not quite free
from dust, they should be put away from
dust and from flies. which are VERY
fond of cOllQcfinp uDyn them.

PRESERVING SNOWY FLOWERS.

PRESERVING SNOWY FLOWERS.
While grasses are as mach flowers as
roses and camellias, they are not popu-
larly so regarded, aud in the trade,
preserved flowers and grasses" are
offered. We compromise the matter
by calling the others ''showy" flowers
Of which a large numJer are prepared
abroad. The class Of ANNALS known
as "Everlastngs," are cultivated by
many with view 10 tie use Of then
flowers in winter decorations. The
majority Of these require only to be
picked as they just come into bloom,
carefully dried and kept from the light
and dust until wanted. A large nam
Der of the imported flowers are preserved
by means Of sulphur fumes, the process
being precisely that used in bleaching
straw hats. \ box or barrel IS pro-

touched for 81 hours. At the end oil
this time, remove the flowers and hang
them in an airy room to dry. When
quite dry they may be laid away in
boxes. All flowers do not succeed
equally well, and there is room for ex-
pertinent. Among those we found
most satisfactory were, China Asters,
Fuchsia buds, Larkspurs-the dark
celored kinds, Red Powered Spir@as,

are better If taken just as they are
opening some, such as the Fuchsias,
even IN the bud, to be opened after
wards. Some flowers after sulphuring
will be quite bleached, others will have
the color heightened; but the color IN
most can be restored, as we may show
in speaking Of making them up.

 MATTERS.
General H.cDOwelI's Report A
 k'Ica for the l':mas, Etc.

A Washington dispatch of the 18th give tue following: General McDow- ell, in his annual report of aflaiis in the Pacific coast division, says there is one question which he desires most earnestly to press on the attention of the proper authorities-the condition of our heretofore allies and good
 friends, the Pima and Maricopa tribes of Indians in Arizona. These people, he says, cultivate the soil, are fixed in their homes, and have been prosper ous, industrious, and always peaceful, except when serving in conjunction with United States troops against the common enemy. They are now sui fering, and are likely to suffer, from no act of their own, but by reason of settlements of whites on the Gila riv- CT above their farms, and the diver sion of the water which they have heretofore been depending upon to ir- rigate their ground, for the land will produce no grain without irrigation. He asks that these Indians be grant ed an additional reservation on Sali- mas river, and that measures be taken to secure them the rights they have had from time immcmorial to the water of Gila river to irrigate their land. General Mcdowell deiers, un- til the reception of General Towards report, any discussion of the question Of the increment of troops under his command. IIe states, however, that in order to avoid calling on the gen eral of the army for troops from cast ern communicating warned uot to ! do so except in case of cXtrcmity-he sent to General Howard all the troops from the department of California save a handful at Alcatraz, and called on the department of Arizona for every man that could be made available, even at the risk Of having trouble in that department He makes no fur- ther reference tO Towards campaign, except to say that it was very fatigu- ' ing one and caused much loss of life and property to the inhabitants troops and Indians, and the latter have been subdued and now await the action of the authorities as to their future.

The San Francisco Stock Report, in speakeng Of the Golden Star Mining Company says: It IS very seldom that we endorse mining proposition, and when we do we expect to have our endorsement fully justified. In the case of the Golden Star Mining Company, we remarked that the man. agement lad placed a considerable quantity of the stock in Philadelphia, and that it was their intention to make the investment profitable to stockholders by the payment of divi- dends. Since the publication of our article, the company have erected a tens;ampmill, with capacity of twen ty more stamps, and have set up afif ty horsepower engine. In short time the mill will be running, and as soon as it starts the company will be- gin grading for 40-stamp mill. A contract for this mill will be entereG- into with one of the San Francisco foundries. The company have an abundance of free-milling gold ore, all ready to be extracted, and there is no doubt but that these milling facilities will be tested to their utmost capacity The ore can be worked dirt cheap say 8 ton. The delivery of the ore at the mill costs only soc per ton, and wood is s per cord. Under such ia vOra5le circumstances, and consider
 ing the immense deposit already ex- posed, we expect the company to
 fulfill their promise and pay divi- dends from the very start The infor- nation regarding the present condi- tion of the mine we got from disinter- ested parties. But we know it is cor
 rect, and we expect the management to keep its word to the very letter.

CONTRACTING GaXD LAWs.

He learn from Washington that tho cOmmissioner-gencral Of ti.c land of flee has addressed a letter ;o the sec retary of the interior asking his con 'truction of certain remarkably incon- sis;cnt statutes, which affect all states and territories containing Mexican land grants. The act of 1860 provid- ed that cost of survey of private land claims should be paid by the govern inert; an act of May, 1861, required claimants to pay for their surveys; the law of March 3, fS75, repealed the act of 1869, but in the meantime the act had been incorporated into the revised statutes. The question now arises, did the act of 1875 repeal this provision of the revised statutes :? The commissioner holds that as the rule of law on this subject was repeal cd its revision was also repealed, but submits the question for the sccre- tary's decision. He also submits the question whether the clause attached to the appropriation bill of 1876, pro viding that claimants before receiving patents, should reimburse the cost of surveying their grants, did or did not re-enact the old law of 1862 with con- tinuing force, or whether this proviso applied only to expenditures of the appropriation then made?

ST. CLAIRsvILLE, April 30, 1878.
Although there are over 400 cases
dockoted for the present term Of Court,
the probability Is that the business of the
term will be rather light, this Is owing 10
the continuance Of msny cases, the
parties not being ready for trial. The
Grand jury found only two true bltls.
There were against the following parties;
Andrew Doty, of Powhstsn, tor forgery,
and Hoover Durnell, of Henrysburg, for
selling liquor contrary to law. Usually
the grand jury finds large number of
| indictments, sometimes as high rs forty
at one sitting Of the jury. No important
cases have been tried up to the present
| time.
The wife of Lewis G. Wright, late
County Recorder, Of Belmont, died last
week from the effects of having an ovarian
tumor removed from her. The operation
was performed by Drs. Wall and HCge,
of Cambridge, Estep, Of Louisville, and
Hewet3on, OF st. Clairsville, and lasted
about two hours, during which the lady
was kept under the influence of chlorO-
form. Mis-. Wright was very delicate
woman and the shock was too much for
| ner system. She died in about thirty
Ours after the conclusion of the opera
ton.
The proposition to extend the St.
ClsirsvilIe narrOw.gsuge railway to
Bridgeport is favorabiy received by the
people over here. 1t is my opinion, how
ever, that this town will contribute pre-
| ciOus little of its wealth towards building
| the extension. 1t was with the greatest
difficulty that we raised sufficient funds
to get the road through to Quincy, and
even then the company had to go largely
in deb! 10 accomplish that much. The
road Is paying well, and will no doubt IN
the course of few years be able to pay
| off all Of its Indebtedness. Until this Is
| done, however, think the people of our
town will not be likely 70 invest to aLy
great extent in the extension. But the
extension will be tor the benefit OF
Bridgeport and Wheeling, and the PEG.
pie OF those cities should take an active
interest in the enterprise. The cos. OF ex-
leading the road TO Bridgeport would not
be likely to exceed SIS, 900, This would
be a small amount for Wheeling and
Bridgeport to contribute, but it would be
an immense sum for our village. l sup
pose that the people of this place would
contribute something, but the bulk OF the
stock will have to be taken by Bridge
port and Wheeling if the road Is built.
| hope that the enterprise will prove II
success.
