Spring Bulbs.

The only objection to beds of Spring bulbs
is that, though beautiful beyond description
while the bulbs are in flower, the time of
blooming is short, and thereafter the beds
look bare and are not available for other
purposes. This fault can be overcome by a
little management and the use of such bulbs
as bloom successfully. The following ar
for several years.
Make round bed of any size, and plant
an inner circuler row of crocus, and next
side of the first row should be filled with
tulips or hyacinths. The effect of bed
thus prepared is extremely pretty for a long
time and thus arranged, it may remain un
disturbed two or three years.
Snow is no sooner gone than the bed is
bright with the CHEEKY little crocus, which
apparently covers the whole surface These
will hardly have passed away when we have
a bed of hyacinths in all their delicate, love
ly tints. The tdlips then form climax of
gorgeousness that will last till the middle of
of June. The foliage of the crocus is eX-
tremely delicate and pretty, and is in per-
lection during the Towering of the hyacinths
and tulips, and covers the bed with a love
ly green carpet, taking away the usual bare
look of bulb beds when out OF their time OF
bloom. Still another succession might be
had by scattering the bulbs of the Spanish
Iris throughe tn bed. They are perfectly
hardy, with slender foliage, and furnish ex-
quisitely beautiful flowers in every shade of
blue. purple, yellow and even chocolate.
These, following the tulips, need only seeing
to be appreciated.
After the bulbs have finished poisoning
the foliage should be allowed to ripen to
perfect the bulbs for another year; but the
surface may be Immediately picked over
with a fork between the rows and between
the bulbs) and portulacca or petunian seed
may be scattered over the bed. These will
be growing finely by the time the bulbs are
gone. After the first year these latter will
sow themselves and be ready to bloom early.
If foliage beds are preferred, small lplants of
coleus, cineraria and centauria may be east
ly set out between the bulbs making the bed
very ornamental for the remainder of the
standardization Garden.

Discussion and inquiry have altogether
failed in developing the reason for the pro-
posal to withdraw the mail-carrying priv.
lege from Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Express
Company. The statements made by the
Commission are so far from accuracy that
it might be thought the whole movement
was the result of Misrepresentation, were it
not for the fact that the Postal Department
appears to persist in its determination to
enfdfce this capricious, unreasonable, and
injurious policy. The assertion that the
entire mail carriage ought to be in the
hands of the Government can only be
assented to if It is shown that the Govern
ment is prepared to take up and carry on
the entire mail carriage. We know, how
ever, that it is not prepared to do this.
1t cannot guarantee the carriage of large
percentage of the mail matter which it pro-
poses to prohibit the transportation of by
Wells, Fargo & Co. 1t therefore follows
that its proposition involves the diminution

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
LReno Gazette, April I'd.

At l 80 A. NJ. yesterday the down freight
train from Virginia, in rounding the curve
near Merrimac, struck bowlder which had
fallen on the track The train was drawn
by two engines. The after engine jumped
the track and rolled down into the river,
while the first remained on the grade.
George Hayward, roadmaster, sprang from
the engine just before the collision. A
number of dump cars were piled upon him.
When extracted he could not speak, and
died in few minutes. Robert Dalton,
the engineer of the Washoe, the engine
that rolled into the river, remained on his
engine until it fell down the bank. He
was badly injured, and his recovery is un-
certain. All the train men were more or
less injured. Mr.. Hayward leaves wife
and three children Mrs. Hayward is a
sister of Mrs. Hilliard, of Reno Mr.. Hay
ward was an estimable man, and his death
is deeply deplored in Carson. where he
lived, and by many friends in Reno. The
Washoe is total wreck, lying bottom up
in the Carson river. Ten ore dumps and
two fiat cars lie in a heap beside 1t.

THE LEssEPs SCHEME.

When the extraordinary statements made
by NJ. Lesseps regarding his American ex-
perience were first reported from France,
we expressed the opinion that he had been
inventing a good many OF his facts, and
particularly we questioned the accuracy of
his declaration that three hundred millions
of francs had been subscribed to his canal
in the United States. Reports from the
Eastern States now confirm our suspicious,
by showing that he secured no subscrip-
ton whatever, and that the capitalists of
New York and other Eastern cities held
aloof from his project unanimously, no
confidence being felt in it. NJ. Lesseps has
made very bad business of his American
visit, and before long it will become neces-
sary for him to retract the most of his wild
and fanciful statements. He has not Sc
cured the capital for his canal either here
or in Europe, and we do not think it at all
likely he will succeed i'll doing so.

KEARNEY,s REMAND.

Kearney's first attempt TO get ont of the
House of Correction has failed. The SUI
perior Court sitting in banc has decided
that it could not review the decision of one
of its members, and therefore it will be
necessary to try the habeas corpus again
before the Supreme Court, and see if that
tribunal will hear the case. 1t is greatly
to be hoped, for the public welfare, that
all these efforts to save Kearney from the
punishment he has so richly earned, may
prove abortive. His escape under tech
nicality of any Kind would have a most
mischievous effect upon the minds of his
ignorant followers, and would revive that
contempt for the law which is their worst
characteristic at present. He ought to be
left to serve out his sentence to the end.
That is certainly the most wholesome dis.
position OF his case.

DROWNED IN A oLoUD-BuRsr.

Stockton Independent, April 24th.l
Particulars of the death of G.. j. Smith,
who was drowned last Wednesday in Mer-
ced county, have just been received in this
city. He was visiting his sheep range, on
Deadman's creek, near Plainsburg, intend
ing to begin shearing as soon as the weather
should moderate sufficiently, and he had a
gang of men camped ON the ground for that
purpose. The camp of the shearers was on
high ground, overlooking gulch, which at
this point runs between high and precipit-
GUS banks, and Smith occupied cabin
lower down and close to the edge of the
gulch. Late on Wednesday afternoon
the weather showing no signs of abat-
ing, he left the pens, and ac-
companied by Portuguese, went OF
the lower cabin. Shortly after the shear
ers ON the hill above heard rushing
sound, quickly succeeded by terrible
roaring and cracking, as if every rock and
bowlder on the mountain Size had been
torn from its hold and was being hurled
along the bed of the gulch. They knew
in an instant what had happened, and re-
allied the frightful position of Smith and
the Portuguese. They rushed toward the
cabin, yelling at the top of their voices for
the doomed men to leave the cabin, and
the latter evidently heard them, for two
dazed, bewildered faces appeared at the
door for single instant, the next solid
wall of water, debris, and great masses of
earth and rock struck the lightly built
shanty, and all that it contained disappeared
in the boiling waters. passed Ikea
frightful vision before the eyes of the
Mortified spectators ON the bank, and for
moment they stood as if paralyzed. As soon
as the water subsidized somewhat, search
was made for the unfortunate victims, and
the Portuguese was found the next day
about two miles below the scene of the
catastrophe. The body of Mr.. Smith was
not found until the next day, having lodged
among the rocks about five miles below the
camp. The only injury found upon the
body of Smith was bruise on the fore
head, and there can be no doubt but that
he was drowned and not killed by con-
tact of the powders. The cause of this
sudden deluge in a gulch that is precipi-
tous enough to carry off any ordinary
amount of water, was evidently cloud
burst in the mountains where the gulch
heads, such phenomenon being of frequent
occurrence in that section. When found
among the rocks of the gulch, the body of
Smith was imbedded in mass of sand and
mud, his hand, wrist and a portion of
the forearm only being visible. The arm
stood straight up out of the sand, and it
was this circumstance that led to the dis
covery of the body Mr.. Smith was a
resident of Stockton and leaves n family

THE DEBRIS BILL IN CONGRESS.

A late dispatch from Washington holds
out the hope that Mr.. Berry's debris bill
will be passed, and that consequently an
appropriation of 100000 will be made
available for the defense of our valley lands
against the material from the mines. The
favorable disposition manifested by Con-
gress towards this measure is no doubt
largely due to the action taken by our State
Legislature on the subject. Had the debris
bill not been passed here, Congress would
very certainly have declined to do any
thing in the premises, logically arguing
that if the State did not think the ques-
ton of sufficient consequence to provide
remedies for it, the National Government
could have no interest in it.
