The ValyOx GlObatOr.

The culture of the beautiful and
highly aromatic aqueous produc-
ton, known as the valvox globa-
tor, is attracting much attention
among the professional foricultur-
lists, and promises to become fa-
vorite with the ladies. It's culture
is exceedingly simple, and can read
lily be acquired by the most simple
minded lover of Horticulture.
Regarding the plant, an eminent
authority says: "The whole an
drogonidium may now be consider
ed as an antheridium inclosed in a
gelatinous envelope, each of the
naked protoplasmic bodies being
a motile antherozoid or spermato-
zoid. About the same time the
gynogonidia have matured into
oogonia, and their proboplasmic
contents into oospheres, the move
ments of the vibratile ella attach
ed to the autherozoids begins to
set the whole antheridium in mo-
tion, in the positions indicated; the
anthendium soon breaks up, and
the separate antherozoids are seen
in rapid independent motion with
in the gelatiuous envelope of the
antheridium, which they ultimate
ly break through and move about
in all d."

THE DIRTY STREETS.

The necessity of an immediate reorganiza-
ton Of the Street-C Cleaning Bureau of the
Police Department is clearly apparent to every
citizen. Mr.. Police Commissioner MacLeap is
evidently q failure in this particular work.
He may be able to superintend Sabbath
school or purchase South Carolina Legislators
at $1,000 head in the highest and hottest
interests of Reform, but he cannot superintend
the brigade of sweepers or reform the wretcbed
methods of his condemned predecessors IN
street cleaning. Apparently the streets of
New York have not been swept in month /;
certainly they are in a condition of filth never
seen before; and one which ought not to be
endured much longer.
Recognizing the justice of the public con-
domination of his inefficency. Mr. MacLean
lately venturcd into print charging upon his
colleagues in the Police Board the RESPONSE
bility for the failure to clean the streets. We
publish elsewhere a denial from these gentle
men of the truthfalness of his many allega-
tons in excuse OF himself. AS between the
two we may well leave the public to decide
the question of responsibility but the fact
remains that Mr.. MacLean has been a failure,
that the streets are not cleaned. and that
some competent man in the Police Board
must be. for the present ut least. selected to
do what Mr.. MacLeah has failed to do.
Mr.. MacLean, we understand. will be enabled
to show at the end of the year that he has
saved about 100000 to the people of New
York by his economical management of the
STRENGTHENING Bureau. The people of New
