Glazed Pots.

Glazed pots are condemned by most
writer's. The majority of these writer's
are greenhouse men, or those with but
little experience with growing plants
in the dry air of our parlors and living
rooms; and in watering, those in glazed
pots would naturally receive the same
supply as those in common porous
pots alongside. The evaporation from
the porus pots would take place much
Lore rapidly than from the glazed and
the one would be comparatively dry
while the other would be still wet.
The next watering repeats this process,
and the result is quickly seen. The
plant in the glazed pot perishes at
once, or drags out sickly, miserable
existence. GLAZED pots can b., used
with good results in the parlor or hv-
ing room. If the drainage is good, so
that tie surplus water can pass off,
there are many plants that will grow
we'll in them. Tc this it m ~ be added
that many people are very irregular in
watering house plants. They forget to
attend to it until the dry and par ched
appearance of ths earth admonishes
them of their neglect. OF course the
plant in the ungla2ed pot suffers worst
under this treatment, for the earth gets
dry from top to bottom. while in the
glazed pot tue great bulk of the earth,

A Nihilist Prison.

A short account of the celebrated
casemates of the Fortress of st. Peter
and st. Paul, in which the Nihilists are
confined Immediately after their arrest,
will, doubt not, be perused with in
terest by your readers. The writer, a
st. Petersburg correspondent, obtained
access to the easements by q special
order from one of tie Grand Dukes.
The easements are followed out under
the Neva. and directly under the ram
parts. Their only window. a little
square hole protected by thick barred
grating, rises but o few inches above
the level of the river. At stated d is
tances there are iron doors opening into
halls filed with sentlnels, who. with
loaded rifle and fixed bayonet, keep
watch and ward over the unhappy ten
ants of the cells which open upon them.
As for the tiny prisons, they are very
narrow quarters, square, with stone
walls and floors, and fearfully damp,
the water constantly dropping about in
all directions. A chair, table, and s.
pallet of white wood form the only fur
niture. One of the pallets was found
to be covered with bed of straw hOr-
ribly foul, but even this, poor luxury as
it was. must be considered an exception.
The visitor was allowed entrance to a
few of the cells. Their tenants were
pale; they rose as he entered, according
to order, but regarded him with fixed
look of despair. The writer was shown
the famous cell in which was incarcer-
ated the Princess Tarakanova, daughter
of the Empress Elizabeth, who fell a
victim to her rival, the Empress Catha-
zine II. grandmother of the present
Gar. This unhappy woman perished
in the cell under the most dramatic
circumstances. The Neva, swollen by
the melted snow, suddenly rose, and
the rushing torrent, dashing with over
whelming strength against the tiny win
dow, broke in aud filled the cell with
water. The Princess was drowned
The cells of the great State criminals
are lined with mattresses, and rings of
iron are placed in the walls, to which
many of them are bound when they are
not strait waistcoated. The guido in
formed the writer, among other things,
that these unhappy men We're asked
every quarter of an hour if they were
ply. they were barbarously punished
He also states that in the wall of the
Emperor's room is an invisible door,
communicating with little passage,
very narrow, and leading to subterra-
mean gallery, followed out under the
Neva. The gallery leads to the for
tress, and, in case of revolution, or
of imminent peril, the Gar could dis
appear in few seconds from the Win
ter Palace, and fewsminutes after lind
himself in perfect s.fety in the Fortress
of st. Peter and st. Paul, the guns of
which, in short time, could reduce
ST. Petersburg to ruins. The palace of
the Gar, Paul l., which is now the
Engineers School, was similarly pro-
vided; but when the assassins entered
his room he had not time to flee and
was struck down at the very moment
when he was about to disappear behind
the secret door, which was already
open,-Payis Cor. LJhdOn Tele1rdDh.

WAsHINGToN's PRONUNCIATION - A
writer III the Salem Gazstte tells an an
ecdote to exhibit Washington's pronun
citation of corps:
An original authentic anecdote of
Gen. Washington is rare thing, but
Aele is one on the authority of Major
John Saunders, who commanded the
Salem Cadets IN 1889 when Washington
visited Salem: In his compliment to
the cadets, "You have the honor to
command the best-discipllned corps
have ever seen," he pronounced the
word corps according to the English
spelling. art;culating the p and and

but C o-r-p-s. This can be no imputa-
tion ON the scho olarship of Washington,
for his intercourse with Lafayette,
Count d'Estaing and other French Of
fcers must have familiarized him with
the French pronunciation. 1t rather
indicates his intense Americanism.

across which was extended a dense
white web. The lower part of the web
was broken, and two small finches were
entangled in the pieces. One was still
alive, but died soon after it's rescue.
The hairs of these crab spiders come off
when touched and cause a maddening
irritation. He says that he saw the

of these monsters secured by cord

Frank Leslie's Money.

The struggle over Frank Leslie's will
began few days ago. How long it
Will last may depend on how far the
money will go among the lawyers. The
attacking party consists of Leslie's two
sons and their mother, and on the other
side his second wife, to whom he left
all the property he had. As the de NOR
tuis nil nisi bonum rule is never followed
when mans will is attacked, it goes
without saying that Leslie's character
isn't spared even by his own flesh and
blood in the effort to break his will
Nobody ever supposed that it was u

it be when the owner of it passed
twenty years of his life cribbing from
all the live newspapers of this country

light on the enterprising publisher s
private life. His first wife. whom he
married in England and left there, is
in court with his sons. She is now
pretty we'll on in years, but traces Of
the beauty that was hers when she be-
came Leslie's wife still remain. The
second wife is a much younger woman,
as second wives generally are. Leslie
was her second husband, but it appears
that her first husband is still living.
the sons say she estranged their father
from them altogether, and kept up the
barrier even when he was dying. This,
however, is only one side; when the
other is heard the case may be changed.
But it certainly was rather strange that
he cut off his sons without dollar and
left everything he possessed to their
step-mother. The pecuniary difficulties
he got into and which led to the assign
,ment of all his business to trustees
were solely the result of extravagant
living. The establishment he set up at
Saratoga cost as much to run it as
should have supported half dozen
families, and it took him away from his
business besides. Leslie had plenty of
business dash, but dash is not always a
guarantee of success. Fisk had good
deal of dash, but death found him al
most a bankrupt, after all.-COr. Of De-

A MIsCHIEvoUs DOG.-Some dogs
delight in mischief, and will play pranks
on their young masters when oppor-

Climate and Complexion

There is great diversity OF opinion
as to the reason of the difference of
complexion I'd be observed among man
kind. Roughly speaking, the hue Of
the skin varies with the latitude, the
fairer races hiving their homes at a
distance from the equ' tor; the darker,
within or near the tropics. This fact
would seem to point to the position of
the sun with reference to those on
whom he shiles as the cause. But
the question presents difficulties which
this suppositDn does not aid us to
solve. At the same distance from the
equator we find the fair English ma n,
the yellow Mongol and the copper
colored Indian. t. the north of the
white Russian and Finn live the swar-
thy Lapp ami Samoyed. North of the
Caucasus are dark-sAinned Tartars,
south OF it air-complexioned Circas-
slams. The aburigines of America
vary less in color than the natives of
the Old World. None of them are as
fair as the Swede. none as black as the
negro of Congo, and those living in
Brazil on the equator are not the
darkest. There are blacker men in
Australia and New Guinea than in
Borneo and Sumatra. Though these
islands ar, on the equator and those
are not. The Shillooks on tue Upper
Nile, who live about ten degrees north
latitude, are blacker than the Mon
buttuo who are six degrees farther
south. 5uLar Science M1nthty.
