pRoF. THOMAS MBEHAN says: While
We IN America have learned that in as.
Paragrs some plants have flowers and
are barren, and others which only bear
the seed berries; in other words, the
English are still advertising in their
papers, Conovers colossal and other
varieties when under the law Of sex
there can be no varieties. Large as,
par,agus is obtained by setting the plants
widely apart and by applying rich
maanures. No mere variety has apv
effect on good plants.

metal is overcome, and the same solidity
and strength produced at from one-thifd

This process il. of the most SIMPLE nature, a.
follows: "A plate of nickle composition
metal, specially adapted to the purpose, has
two plates Of solid gold soldered one on
each side. The three are then passed be-
tween polished steel rollers, and the result
is strip of heavily plated compositionh
from which the cases, backs, centres, bezelss
ETC., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers. The gold in these cases is sufiis
ciently thick to admit Of all kinds OF chasS

John ailpin and Ella Stanford.
Kew Yorl worla.


John Gilpin was thin, callow and
awkward: Ella Stanford, bonnie,
tuxon and loving. They worked on
neighboring farms at Middletown,
Conn, and last Wednesday they
went before the squire and were
married. The next thing on the pro-
gramme was the wedding tour.
Neither had money. Both had good,
stout shoes. Keeping excellent steps
az both hearts beat rs one, they set
out to walk to Woodbury. to visit
Johns old folks. Wennesiiay night
found them on che road pushing on
through the snow. All day Thursday
they pressed on. and as night fell they
stopped at little ii,n by the roadside.
John was very much nsed up on Fri.
day because Of the long walk. bnt.
Ella lent him a shoulder, and so the
wedding tour was continued. AS the
\ two approached within four or five
miles Of Woodbury.. John gave out.
and persons who kindly asked what
was the matter heard only from Ella
request to borrow wheelbarrow. At
last, when a neighboring farmer
learned that the pedestrians had just
been married, he lent them barrow,
and, tenderly placing the groom in
this, the bride wheeled him in trium yb
tothe old folk in Woodbury..

occur to cause the fame to pass down
the wick aud explode the lamp
1. A lamp may be standing on a
table or mantel, and a slight puff of
air from the open window, or sudden
opening Of a door may cause an explo-
sion.
2. 1t may be taken up quickly from
a table or mantel and instantly ex-
plode. :
3. If taken into any entry where
there is a strong draught from the
doors, an explosion is likely to ensue.
4. Iftaken up a flight of stairs, OF
raised quickly to place it on the man
tie, it is likely to explode.
In all these eases the mischief is
done by the air moyement-either by
sudden checking the draught, OF
forcing the air down the chimney
against the fame.
5. Blowing down the chimney to
extinguish the light, is a frequent
cause Of explosion.
6. Lamp explosions have been
caused by using a chimney broken at
the top, or one that has a piece brok-
en- out, whereby the draught is varia-
Bile and the fame unsteady.
z. Sometimes a thoughtless per-
son puts a small sized wick in a large
burner, thus leaving a considerable
space along the edges OF the wick.
s. An old burner, which by right
should be thrown away, is sometimes
continued in use; the final result is
explosion.

"HARPETH," the Nashville Amer
leans Washington correspondent
writes:
The venerable Clark Mills, sr., is
getting very impatient to take down
the Jackson equestrian statue and
brighten it up for unwilling. The
uppermest feeling in his heart Just
now, is to get ready to ship it and
then follow it to its place on Capitol
Hill at Nashville. lie is hungry to
hear the plaudits of Jackson's coun-
trymen when the veil shall be re-
moved and his well known features
shall flash out before the eyes Of the
assembled thousands. 1t is a
pardonable and a harmless am
bition in the old man. The
shadows cast by the sun of his
life are frightening. Naturally, he
wishes to see his chief works orna
menting the beautiful grounds in the
city and by the banks Of a stream as
dear to the heart of the immortal hero
as the rudy drops that gave him life.
He wants to see the hermitage. He
wants to see Nashville. He wants to
see the sons and daughters of the men
who were the friends and centempora-
ries Of Jackson. Who will be the
orator at the unwilling? | have a
nomination to make for the place.
We understand that something over
$500 has been subscribed by citizens
of Nashville for the purchase Of the
statue. The price is only 5000
nominal price. The statue at New
Orleans, and the one at Washington, in
front Of the White House, similar to
this one, cost $4,000 each. This one,
by the same sculptor, is considered
worth to-day at least $4,000 in the
market, and Mr.. Mills says that he
would not take less from any other
city than Nashville. This is a matter
in which the whole State should take
a pride. Nashville's centennial, an
interesting event in our history, will
be celebrated in April, and it is pro-
posed, if possible, to unveil this
equestrian static on that occasion.
All parts of the State will be repre-
sented, and, we think, should contrib
ute something toward perpetuatiRg
our early history and a memory of the
heroic old Jackson.
