LIFTING PLANrs.-The failure in lifting plant
that have been bsdded during the summer ca,
be avoided by observing few rules.
l. Repot early, before cold weather ha,
weakened vitality; especially before heay,
frosts have poisoned the sap. Fuchsias, coleus
and specially tender plants should be trans
ferred to pots as early as the middle OF Sen
tember The work should also be done when
the weather Ia moist and the soil not over dry.
2. With the back OF the trowel toward the
plant, mark circle about the plant little
smaller than the pot to which it is to be trans
ferred, and then throw dirt from the plant un-
til ball Is left adherIng to the roots. With
sharp knife clip roots as you meet them with
the trowei. On no account pry toward the
plant, for it will loosen the soil from the roots
and end in disappointment. The ball beng
ready, place . handful of broken pottery IN the
pot, and over that sufficient good earth to ms,
admit the ball and leave it bali an inch below
the rim. Holding it steady, pour good we'll
pulverzed soil all about the bail and th en- crowd
1t tightly down.
r. Now water thoroughly and set in cool
place, where there is little light. Such plants
as heiotropes, which have only coarse brittle
roots, should be kept in this retirement for ten
days.
a. Cut back. either before digging or imme-
diately after, largo part Of every plant TO be
saved. Cut out weak shoots and stragglers and
thin not less than half the remaining foliage.
In fact make the plant shapely and proportion
ts SIZE to the diminished quantity OF roots. Ii
IS not difficult to transfer even heliotropes and
nignonettes to pots, provided the knife be very |
freely used, cutting away all but fine. erect
'tem- Nine-tenths OF the plant had better be
'acrifced. The cutting must be done before
iigging, or Immediately after. without an
hours delay.
D. DO not dig any more plants than you have
rec room for in your window OF conservatory.
setter rely upon cuttings for many things
mich, taken In August or September and set
hckly In boxes, in shady place, will sbe root
by frost and in the spring disable for making
ne plants. A pan OF coeus cuttings can be .
lore easily saved through the winter than bali

IAN UNTRAMMELLED BALLOT"

la the South-tbe States lately comprising
the Southern Confederscy, recently in arms

sttution and laws, and the presence OF whose

OF this cry, Its hypocricy and transparent pur-
pose is seen IL the fact that the government
has no troops at its command at all adequate
for that purpose. In all the South there ara
but one thousand one hundred and sixty-si I
soldiers with which to intimidate q population

In the South there are one thousand two

were derived. and hike those old Barons, as

raids against their neighbours, numbering, burn

else power through scenes OF violence and
deyiltry which seems to form the highest graft
fcatlon OF their natures. Upon obtaining
possession Of tue two houses OF Congress, they
naturally transferred the turbulence which
rules in the Southern States and attempted to
coorcs the Presidest by revolutionary expedl-
ents into an approval OF their violent plans
under tareat Of starving the Government. In
