GROUND FOR A GARDEN.-Now is the
time to look out for your flower garden,
if you are fortunate enough to have
patch of ground suitable for the pur-
pose. Farmers. as u Iule, are entirely
too careless about their gardens. their
whole minds being placed upon the
field crops, stock, etc. The women
would in most cases be competent and
gladly willing to take charge of large
portion of the labor necessary to the
proper cultivation of the garden. if the
men would prepare the ground to their
hands. Indeed, it is o fact that those
who pursue the cultivation OF the soil
as their business. rarely enjoy garden
products in perfection, just because
they appear to insist upon the error
that they don't pay. Now ia the time
to think about how the garden can be
enlarged, and the number and quantity
of the crops increased. The stuff can
also be got ready for the additional
fence, and the fence itself erected as
soon as the weather will permit.

WHO BIDS FOR BUCHANAN ?

The story of Buchanan's escape and
discovery gets to be more and more like
"a whale and is more and more persist
emily backed like weasel. There is a
man in Pittsburg who, as set forth in
our dispatches, presends to know just
where buchanan is, if not to have him
in custody, and who seems to want to
sell him but cannot find buyers. His
great anxiety is to know what the police
will give and to get the money. But
The police are, perhaps, not anxious on
this point. Buchanan is out on Dail, ,and
is consequently not especially subject TO
the attentions OF the police. II, when
his case is called, he Goes not appear, or
if his bondsmen call for the assistance
Of the police, they will then be interest
cd in Buchanan's whereabouts. If at
that time the enterprising person in
Pittsburg is still ready to sell Buchanan
cheap for cash the police may, perhaps,
take this person into custody as one who
is concealing an escaped criminal. Mean
time this person should address himself
Buchanan's bondsmen. They want
him if anybody does. But this Pitts
burg ruse is pretty well done If it is in
tended as a game to cover flight In

issued for the above named men, aud
Chief Wilson went to where the men
we're working and arrested them, togelh-
er with Thomas and John Merrlman,
Herbert Gould and Henry Reinhr, in all
seven persons. When Informed that
hey we're wanted on the charge of muir
der, they quietly consented to accom-
pany the Chief to the city, where they
we're lodged in Jail to await an investiga-
lion. The men assert that the only
stones thrown were by Mrs. Rivers

them, saying that the man was choking
his mother. They started for the house
when they saw the man running to-
ward the river, followed by Mrs. Xiv
ers, who was stoning him. They

ig:-
Resolved, That the Committee on
Judicial Administration be requested
10 ascertain, and report at the next ses-
son, low far Congress can vest in State
power to execute a national bankrupt

and report at next session how far the

ment can reverse the action of their pre-
decessors in cancelling Hand patents
which have already been issued.
General Bullard said in reference to
the first resolution, that it is very incon-
Nenient at times to obtain orders; and IL
the State courts could do so, as in ma ny
cases of bankrupt national banks, It
would be very convenient. Regarding
the second, he said that the present Sc
cretary of the Interior had set aside the
decision of the United States Court and
lad cancelled patents issued.
The resolutions were referred to the
respective committees.
After long debate on the subjects of
education and admission to the Bar the
following resolution, ofierd by Court
and Parker, was adopted
Resolved, That the several State and
ther Bar associations be respectfully
requested to recommend and further the
maintenance of schools of law.

"Tm taking contributions for the

you by, you see, knowing you to be

book before Mr.. Hockenios.

for $50, he pushed the list away. 81
