Radical sheets, but we regret to see
that even Conservative journals are not
altogether free from blame in the mat

to interview Gen., Dalghren, her step

at not receiving her fortune. She said
that she had done for them all they
had a right to expect, and proposed to
bcstow hor property on q more worthy
recipient, as she had u legal right to
do. This property has been grossly
in amount. Mr.. Farrar,
the attorney of Mrs. Dorsey, says that
its value does not exceed $3o, 900.

excuse to bespatter with their filthy

and in each he excelled, devoting

All at once, however, "a change

He neglected his palette and his

A dark shadow appeared to cloud

clear as a limpid lake. Eliezar
| was sad and melancholy, and his
palI;d figure announced mental
rather than physical suffering.

HINTS FOR SPRING GAR.
DENENG.

The street commissioners earn
estly desire that old boots, hats,
crockery, tin cans, ashes, dead cats
and potato parings should be
sown broadcast in many streets:
which are now in splendid order
for planting.
Plant stoves in the garret, cellar
or shed. They require dry soil.
An application Of grease will pre-
vent rust.
Clothes pegs should be planted
Monday mornings on lines about
eight feet from the ground.
The Tweed, formerly abundant
about the City Hall, is now very
scarce.
Cats, rakishly inclined about
fresh-dug garden beds, should be
shoo'd off.
This is the time for raising
spring ulsters. It is not always
such an easy matter.
The best variety Of egg plant is
a hen.
The best oyster plants are found
at Saddle Rock.
Now sew buttons promptly on
his pantaloons and shirts.
The kerosene is bright, pretty
flower, and it's little trouble TO
raise it and many things with it.
Early cabbages should be plant
ed in pots full Of boiling water
about four o'clock in the morning.
The cheapest way TO raise
green peas in the city is to buy
them by the oan.
Plant mouse-traps in the pan
try. Apply a top-dressing Of
cheese.
Tramps are easiest "received"
by a heroic application Of club,
shotgun or watchdog.
Bricks should be sown in beds
of mortar.
Plough deep while blackguards
sleep.
Much attention this spring is
boing devoted to raising the wind:
especially in Wall street. Its cul-
tivation requires great skill and
care.
A pretty horticultural nocturnal
display may be made as follows:
Take a pumpkin, scoop the inside
out and make pies of it. Then
take the empty shell, cut the
semblance of human eyes, nose
and mouth in it and put a lighted
candle inside. Set it out each
night in the garden.
