From the Long Branch Season.


Among the visitors at Newport and
other fashionable watering places this
season, and among the expected guests
at the West End, Long Branch, lis Henry
S. McComb. Of Wilmington. Delaware.
A man with say $5,OOO,000, and lib
eral and high. minded gentleman. In
certain quarters of late Mr.. McComb has
been talked about as possible, lay,
even probable Republican candidate for
the Presidential chair. The Daily Eas-
tern "Argus, ,"of Portland. Me-, in its
issue of August lst, the Syracuse Sun
day "Times," of August 3rd, and the
Syracuse Merning Standard" of Au'
gust 7th, endorse Mr.. McComb's claim
for this high Office. The summer Sea-
son" does not dabble in politics, but,
as i. is the ladies' pet paper, and as
Mr.. McComb being very handsome
man and polite gentleman, is in high
favor with the fair sex, all We can say
is, lot the best and best-looking man
win; and, if his name is Henry S. Nc
Comb, why then so much the more
glory for the little State of Delaware.

Niracu1ous-During the storm on Satur-
day last, says an exchange. lightning went
down the stove pipe of a vessel on Mr..
Wilby's railway, at Sharpstown, passed
through the seams of the boat, and stunned
three workmen under it. The lightning
also burned a hole in another workman's
hat and never singed his hair. The work
men stunned were picked up for dead, but
soon recovered after proper treatment.
The boat suffered no injury, except the
oakum was knocked out of some of the
seams This is the substance Of our infor-
nation concerning the matter, but it seems
a little miraculous that the workmen
should escape without greater injury.

When q plant is in bad condition, it is n
mistake to apply stimulating fertilizer.
The causes of i'll health are many, but the
most general one with those who had no
experience in the care Of plants is, over
watering. Plants, to live, must have water,
therefore the more water the better, seems
to be the reasoning, and the consequence
is starved, nearly leaAcss sticks in pots OF
mud. In the majority Of cases Withholding
water is the one thing needed, and with
invalids, a stimulating fertilizer is the one
thing, Of all others, not needed. When
plants are in fourishing condition and
making growth, then fertilizers may be use
full, especially if the soil in the pots wa:
originally rather poor. Any of the tcrtlI
zers used in the garden would answer io
plants in the house, were 1t not Necessary
to avoid unpleasant odors, and consult ne't
ness and case of application. For hard
wooded, slow growing plants, very fine
bone-four of bonc-sold by secdsmcn fol
the purpose, is perhaps the best; few
tablcspoonfuls being forked into the soil o
the pot For soft-woodcd quick growers
a liquid fertilizer may be used. This may
