THE JAPANESE SYCAMORE.

Aunt Charity writing to the
New Orleans City Item, gives
the following description of a
handsome Sterculium Planati-
folium or Japanese Sycamore
tree growing in the beautiful
grounds surrounding Alton
Villa.
From a small, black seed, and
within a few yards of the beau
tiful Ginkgo tree at cation
Villa" West Feliciana, grows
this superb empress of the flo
raj kingdom. 1t rises to the
height OF so or 60 feet, as if ii
valing in grandeur the towers
of tho f. T.. G. Institute, which
it adorns. Within eight Or ten
feet from the ground it sends
out, in beautiful symmetry,
strong branches, which for weeks
in the spring bear panicIes Of
greenish white flowers, each one
in form resembling 4 crowned
head. Bees from unknown and
distant parts, led by that mys-
tic principle, instinct, from them
"gather honey all the day"
The leaves, that from base to
apex are four or five inches and
Of proportionate width, deeply
tive-fobed, form a rich back
ground for the delicate flowers.
The seel1-vessels are four or five
inches long, in the shape of n
canoe, and used by the children
in their infantile imaginary
voyage.
1t is a hardy tree, for in the
gale Of September, 1879, that
felled so many large trees
and RACED strong buildings, its
vitality was not affected, though
reft of many branches ten or
fifteen feet long. II is a rapid
grower, for in one year voIun-
teer plants from it, are one or
two feet high. For extensive
shade, for beauty of form, for
sweet fragrance, from honieG-
pollen, this tree can not be
surpassed. 1t belongs to a
family OF plants remarkable for
longevity. Adanson estimated
the age of the ba-ob-abs of AZ
RIGA to 5000 years. That very
learned botanists, Prof. Alpho-
nos Wood, says it is cultivated
in South Carolina. We hear
thai they are grown in New
Orleans.

THE LEGISLATURE

Theslow progress made by the
Legislature, even before it was
a month old, induced the belief
that to do the work required by
the Constitution an extra ses-
sion would have to be called
when the ninety days allotted
will have expired. Wefear that
even all extra session will fail
to accomplish all that remains
to be done, unless more celebrity
is displayed by the Members
However, we wish it understood
we do not advocate undue haste;
what is done should display wis
dom and care. Letbe said what
may, although somewhat slow
in their deliberations, thepeople
have much confidence in the
patriotism and honest intent of
the present Legislature, and we
hope to see each member return
home with a record of which his
constituents may feel proud
AS yet almost the OILY bill that
has passed both houses, is that
providing for the payment OF
members and their mileage.

commanded his ministers to settle the

Dear Sir-I promised to give the SEN

periments upon the Troy plantation.
Let us begin by the silAworms. Silk is

The leaves of the morus alba Moretti

enough to feed the young silkworins, so
have not been surprises to find my eggs

of IS to 80 the average degree which PR
pared the Matching last week. A little
fire keeps the room at 20 to IS or so.
People would be indeed in error if they
thought we will make silk growing Il
speciality. Silk growing is only an ear
ly product of the SOIL, as cotton is late
one. A trne farmer must produce them
both, without neglecting the numberless
varieties Of useful plants which eau grow,

of our planters and laborers. Snch as

fruit trees, and tame grasses, the fertili

Making cotton and sugar cane an ag
ricultural speciality is fault in Louis
lana, as well as making grape vines and
silk IL speciality has been Il ruin for some
parts of Southern France some % years
ago. as the rich but absorbing culture of
the garance as ruined whole countries
in Provence. The tame grasses have res
torcd them to wealth. These people
rich in wine, silk, garance, We're paying
yearly an enormous tribute 10 the hay,

their exhausted fields. With the tame

great deal more important, because it
will attract here European immigration,
and, over all, immigration is what we
want.
will not close this article without
telling you that, after my correspondence
thousands of my countrymen are ready
to join us, and add their skill and hard
labor to our efforts, since I have written
them that our fertile soil and mild eli
mate can produce every ling besides
cotton and sugar. hope God will help
my efforts and make my experiments Il

DANGER IN DISGUISE.
summsI Psstisnes UnssHhsd. and Some
Trmsiy Advice about How TO AyOs4 IT.
Certain Valuable Facts Made
Public.

1t is well known that hot weather
rings sickness, and that few people
so through the summer without un-
pleasant symptoms. The mouth he
comes dry and parched the tongue fur
red with white, the pulse irregular, the
head feyerish, the body eramped, and
the limbs swollen and tired. Ladies'
especially, with their natural delicacy
and tendency to female troubles, find the
hot weather almost unbearable, while
little children are dying every day from
exhaustion and because parents neglect
precaution and care. Appointment and
well known physician Ct New York as
serts rs his positive belief that more
than three-fourths of all so-called sum-
me- complaints arise from disordered
secretions, and that these secretionaTy
organs, which, by being out of order
cause so much trouble. are the Kidneys
and Liver. These organs are the gov
ernors of the system, and by their move
nlents the other parts of the body are
regulated. The brain controls the life,
bnt the lower part of the body rnles the
health.
There is one, and only one known
vegetable that will absolutely regulate
and control the Kidneys and Liver at
all times and thus prevent the many
dangers OF the summer. That yege-
table Ia West India leaf is used as the
basis of Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure. 1t is pure, pleasant to the
taste and absolutely certain in its re-
suits. II keeps those who intelligently
use it in perfect health, and cures those
whose secretions are deranged. For all
urinary complaints Of either sex IL is
infallible. For all bilious troubles 1t is
certain. For the hot season 1t is inval-
liable, and II should be used upon the
approach OF the slightest symptoms. 1t
may say your life " that of some dear
friend; it will certainly prevent much
suffering.
No remedy in America has ever re-
ceived such high and enthusiastic COM
mendations.
