SENATE.

S"S
Senate asked the Attorney.G Generals
advice in regard to the I-ouse bill
No. 483, San act authorizing the At
tcrney-General to institute proceed
ings to recover certain monies" In
response the Attorney General sent
in a lengthy communication in which
he says: That the passage of that
bill would ratify the deposit in banks
Of state moneys by the Treasurer and
might discharge his securities. He
also expresses some doubts 40 to
whether the state has a common law
priority W other bank creditors and
inclines to the opinion that the as
Segment of the assets of the Mastin
bank will enure to the benefit of its
creditors generally. At the same
time however he suggests certain
amendments that might probably
save the rights of the state. Ito ac-
ton was taken and this matter went

Senator Morrison, from the COM
mittee GU Ways and Means. to which
was referred the Governors special

tu'atity leading points, endeavored
to thro, responsibility for failure

lation uponthe House, where bills in
regard therep were pending, except
the pole-tax bill which is still in the
Senate. The committee didn't offer n

on the old bond of he Treasurer, but
recommended the appointment of q
joint committee from bath houses to
settle with the Treasure, and ascer-
tain the balance due to TIN state on
the evening of the 14th ms, when

the aces she mentions, it is safe to
assume that the majority OF men pre-
fer to take wives who are not older.
But all men of taste and dlscerpRent
admire feminine beauty and lovliness
whether they show themselves In
budding youth or ripper maturity;
and we will dare assert that II our
correspondent was really charming at
eighteen, she will be more so at
twenty-six, or that if she is now
lovely at eighteen she ought 10 be
lovlier at the greater age.
But let her give no more thought
to the subject. The beauty that Is
unconscious is the most alluring, and
lovliness which exercises its sway
without apparent effort is sure to
make the best conquest. This we
say in full confidence that the multi
tude of weddings which are to take
! place in the period after Easter will
confirm the truth of our words. Let
us hope that before another return OF
this delightful season our fair cores
pondent will be selecting her bridal
outfit, having found by happy per-
sonal experience that we have wisely
answered her important question.
John Guy and Gen. Cass.
In years gone by there dwelt in
! Washington John Guy, q character
in his way, in connection with whom
Col. Forney tells the following anec-
dotc:
Guy kept the National Hotel in
Washington, and among his guests
was Gen. Cass, the senator from
Michigan. Guy dressed like Cass,
and though not as portly. his face, in
Guiding the wart, was strangely SINH
lar. One day q western friend Of the
house came in after a long ride, dusty
aud tired, and, walking up TO the
Office, encountered Gen. Cass, who
was quietly standing there. Mis-
taking him for Guy, he slapped him
on the shoulder, and exclaimed,
s'Well, old fellow, hereI am! The
las. time / hung my hat up in your
shanty one of your clerks sent me to
the fourth story; but now that l have
got hold of you, 1 insist upon q lower

The general, q most dignifed per-
sonage, taken aback by this startling
salute, cody replied: "Ynu have
committed q mistake, sir. / am no,
|, Mr.. Guy; I am Gen. Cass, OF Mich
|, igan,'' and angrily turned away. The
/ western man was shocked at the un-
, conscious outrage he had committed
but before he had recovered from BY
modification Gen. Cass, who

him again, when, = second

dividuals, it would appear to occupy the po-
sition best adapted for founding veterinary
science upon secure basis in America, and
at the same time securing for it the absolutely
honorable position that its inherent character
and public necessity clearly entities it to.
AT the conclusion of DR.. Forwood's remarks,
DIR. Lee stated that it was well-known fact
in history that the great Napoleon paid his
veterinary surgeons exactly the same fees, and
treated them with the same consideration and
respect, socially, as that accorded the surgeons
who attended his soldiers
DIR. Lee also remarked, as q single ilustra-
ton out of many that he might recall that
his attention was incidentally drawn, not long
since, to suffering horse, an exceedingly
valuable animal, which was being heroically
treated by persons entirely ignorant of the
nature of the case, and in such violent man
ner as would undoubtedly have caused the
speedy death of the dumb patient. The Doc
tors knowledge of human medical practice
enabled him to make suggestions, which
quickly relieved the suffering, and saved the
life of the noble animal
DR.. Silver added that veterinary medicine
and surgery did not receive the attention
which its merits required: and suggested that
we physicians should lend our aid to the sur
tering animals whenever possible, until the
field becomes properly supplied with educat-
ed veterinarians.

Covering the Vines and Plants.

The advice cannot be too often given to all
who cultivate vines and plants, as to their
protection through the winter and early
spring. We have found, after good many
years of experience, that there is no mode so
sure of guarding all vines and plants not en-
tirely hardy against our occasionally severe
winters, as Mythg them dorm and cOcoiing then,
toM soil. OF course we mean those which
can be so treated. The covering should not
be more than two to four inches, according
TO the nature of the thing laid down. If too
much earth is used, the buds, from the heat of
the ground in March, may burst too early,
and may be damaged by q late frost when
taken up, which should rarely he done before
the first Of April. All young grapevincs
should be laid down, though il will prove of
great benefit, in our Judgment, to all grape
vines young and old, hardy and otherwise,
to prunc them and lay them down and cover
them with a few inches of soil. All raspbcr-
ry canes also should be pruned and laid down;
so should roses that are liable to damage from
the frost. Strawing-up roses and other de-
ciduous flowers and shrubbcry, as it is usual
ly donc-that is binding them as tightly al
most as Il polc-iS far more injurious to them
than no protection at all. When strawing-
pis rcsortcd TO it should be applied Only on
tile side etpoSCd to tile SVn.
All flower borders should have good
covering OF stable manure-horse manure be-
ing very good for this purpose In the
spring the long stuff should be raked off, and
the rest forked in. 1t will not only pro-
tcct the roots against all injury during the
winter, but the plants will appear in the
spring greatly invgorated, and the flowers
will be much more abundant and prove of
much higher colors and greater beauty.
Even leaves, straw, debris of any kind or if
there be nothing else, Il slight covering of soil
will be of good service.
We trust that no one who values the
things about the premises here referred to,
will neglect this brief advice-aad No0emJei'
Is tile time Ndttend to a.-GGmantosen 1tLe.

PACKING APPEEs.-First, dry clean bar
rcls are necessary old, damp, musty ones
should never be used. Over the bottom of
the barrel scatter u layer of buckwheat chatl
one inch deep; then put in layer of apples
so that they will just touch each other, TAX
ing care not to crowd them too much, and if
the apples in each layer are of uniform size
so much the better. Now spread second
layer Of chat, just enough to cover the apples
and work it down between them by pressing
the hand over each stratum few times
Continue this operation until your barrel is
full; always pressing your apples down tight
after you have inserted four or five layers
Apples picked, sorted and nicely packed in
this way will never rot and should one do So
the chatf will absorb all juices and those
touching it will not be injured, Those who
have only a few trees and those mostly bear
ing fall fruit, can keep their apples far into
the winter, if packed in this way !; and winter
apples, indeed, do not get fit to eat until
about mid winter No chatf except buck
wheat will do, as all others are apt to gather
dampness and mould,-Rurm Men Yorker

HYPERcRTTIcAL,-A gentleman inspecting
some of the stock of dealer in tombstones,
with intent to purchase, was particularly
pleased with one on which was the cut of an
angel with wings just ready to take an up
ward flight but objected that no angel of that
sort could fly in Il direct line to heaven or
elsewhere. "Why not!' was the query of
the artist in grave stones. well, you SEE"
was the response, them angels hain't got no
tails, and without tail no bird can fly
straight. II stands to reason that angels
without tails couldn't stir themselves" The
artist protested that he had never seen any
pictures of angels with tails, but the obicctor
was firm, and didn't want the tombstone un-
less tail was put to the angel.
