care must be used. / have grown the different
kinds, which shall introduce into this article,

The condition of successfully growing green
house plants from seed are briefly these: Let
the soil be mellow loan, which is medium
earth between the extremes of clay and sand,
enriched with compost OF rotten manure and
leaf mold. See that it IL free OF worms and
insects of all kinds. ! always sift the soil be-
fore putting 1t into the boxes Let your boxes
be about three inches deep. Take care to have
holes bored in them for drainage, and cover the
bottom with broken earthenware to the depth
of an inch at least. Sow the seeds on the sur
face, and then dust them over with very hne
earth, through a sieve. Many fail, are unsuc-
cessful in raising plants from seeds, by reason
OF lack of judgment in watering My plan IL
to put piece ef flannel over the box and keep
that saturated until the seeds terminate. After
that the water should be put on in fine spray.
Recently / saw lady watering box Of Hello
trope seeds, letting the water fall on them like
big drops of rain. She did not think those
great drops caused the tiny Seeding to lose the
slight hold il had upon mother earth, and
thereby lose its life. Do not let the sun shine
directly upon them, or the soil will be dried up
and your seedlings perish. 1t is best to cover
the seedlings with pane of glass, for you not
onlyprotect the young leaves from dust, but also
preserves damp atmosphere caused by the moist
ure arising from the earth. Justhere comesin the
plant cultivators' bugbear, "damping off," If
You see your plants becoming, moldy and de-
caying near the surface of the ground, they
are "damping." The remedy is, give them air
and less water. Mr.. RENNIE.

FITZ JOHN PORTER'S CASE.
The Exoneration by the Advisory Board Il
Not the End of 1t.

The Exoneration by the Advisory Board Is
Not the End of 1t.
An army officer, who is familiar with
the case of Fitz John Porter, recently
said to New York Sun reporter: "The
report of the Advisory Board is by no
means final, and there must be long
story yet before Fitz John can get his
1882 900 back pay, or recover his rank
in the army. The law is explicit that
there is no power to reinstate him ex-
cept through new nomination by the
President, and confirmation by the
Senate to fill vacancy in the army.
The board had no power to do anything
but to investigate newly discovered
evidence, and give their opinion as to
whether there is cause for reconsidering
his case. The regular course of law
must be, if Mr.. Hayes approves the
finding of the board, first, to pardon Mr..
Porter-who is really only Mr., and
not Gen. as he has it on his visiting
cards. Then, if he gets back in the
army, it must be after full considera-
ton of his case by the Senate. But
even the Advisory Board says: The in
discreet and unkind, terms in which
Gen. Porter expressed his distrust of
the capacity of his superior commander
cannot be defended It would be very
strange if the Senate should confirm his
reappointment after that.
Zone portion OF the Advisory Boards
report will excite much opposition. 1t
is that which represents Porter with
5000 men standing between Longstreet's
$4,000 men and the Union army, and
that Porter really protected the Union
army. This will be news to the 10000
Union troops who were engaged in the
bloody contest of the Goth and 3Oth,
and, no doubt, will excite the ire of the
commanders of those forces. There are
no less than three vital errors in this
part of the report of the board. First,
Porter admits that he had over 10000
men. Second, Longstreet says he had
about 10000 men only. Third, Porter
did not save the Union army. The
board dwells much on the fighting that
Porter did on the 30th; but he was not
cashiered for what he did on that day,
but for what he did on the day before,
when he took the responsibility of dis
obeying orders. Porter's defense has
all along been understood to be that he
did not get the order in time to obey it;
but the Advisory Board go further than
that, and praise him for disobedience.
There is some surprise that the board
should have rendered decision before
receiving full record of the case from
the Government printer, and should
have accepted incorrect reports of argu-
ments of Porter's counsel. When they
made their report they had not received
the printed argument of the other side"

1t must first be cut out and most delicately
and neatly from the material upon which it has
been originally worked, and then tackled upon
blue paper, in the pattern in which it il de-
sired TO arrange it, the right side of the en-
broidery being placed toward the pa

quired shape. Over this again tack
the material to which the work
is to be transferred. and then with the finest
lace thread and smallest needle closely sew it
through to the extreme edge of the work. being
very careful not to draw it in any way, for
which reason it is desirable not only to tack the
material to the edge of the paper pattern but also
in several other places TO keep it quite smooth.
The whole of the work, it will be seen, is thus
done from the back. Any little shreds of the
original material which may remain about the
edges of the work may be carefully shipped off

removed Embroidered initials can be trans
