rHIinnIe Palmer's -Boarding school
Minnie Palmer's Boarding SCHOOL,
at the Dramatic theater last evening
was a very odd and eccentric institu.
ton. The principal was a sort of bald
headed old fool with q small hairy
island on his bump of benevolence. His
assistant was an ancient maid with the
cutest pantalets yon v saw; they
came down ave SO far, and the rufies
spread all ove her feet like a mantle of
charity. Then there was a number of
scholars: Simon, who wasn't as simple
as he looked. Doodle, who was too
much Of IN Irishman to be a Yankee,
but who was a big hinge in the play.
And then there was the naughtiest
school girl you eve saw. She was as
spoiled as Bob Ingersoll's prospects of
heaven. Her name it is Minnie Palm
er, young, pretty, sweet, and a masher
from the rising Of the curtain. The
capers she cuts and the antics of her
movements are enough to convulse "a
wooden Indian.
Everybody in the audience laughed
all the while the play was on. But the
pantalets took the cake-yes. the entire
bakery-M burlesque.
The Boarding School" will be re-
opened for the spring term this even

ner's jury, Hirst died by 1.-THE act OF
God, as the Legal phrase runs, and not
BY the hand Of man, but the majority
OF the community don't think SO. II
seems to be a safe and easier plan to
blame these things on God However,
all evidence Of murder, if there was
one, have been oxidized out of identih-
cation. But the matter ends with the
verdict Of the jury, and the death is
only more closely shrouded in mystery.

Bulb.Pl anting.

Those who did not set out their bulbs
last November, should do so now. Its
not so desirable time, it is true, as late
in the fall, but very good flowers are
sometimes grown in one season. We
have done so repeatedly. Some of them,
Towering early, will not bloom until the
following spring-such as crocuses, snow
drops, crown-imperials, etc. /; but tulips
and hyacinths will. The tuberose re-
quires two years to flower. All these
bulbs must have deep, rich, light,
somewhat sandy soil, and should be
set two or three inches below the sur
face. The gladiolus, which is extremely
beautiful and has become very popular,
is an exception, and can be planted at
intervals from April to June, which will
give a succession of blooms, commencing
in July and lasting through August and
September. The strongest bulbs should
be reserved for the last planting, as they
force their growth more rapidly than
the others, affording as fine plants in
September as in July. They require
only good garden soil MANFRED by we'll
rotted dung from the stable yard.
There is nothing more beautiful in a
yard or flower garden than a bed of tn
lips. They should be of assorted kinds
and intermingled. At least we like to
see them so. In preparing bed it
should be literally made ground. 1t
should be dug out, say, twenty inches,
and put at bottom about six inches of
well-rotted barn-yard manure, in which
horse and sheep dung will be valuable.
Fill up with good garden soil to about
four inches above the level, and plant
the bulb two inches below the surface.
The holes should be made with dibble,
and if a quantity of sand be placed in
each it will be an advantage. Generally
these bulbs, like most of the others, are
planted in October and the first half of
November; but they can also be planted
early in spring. On the approach of
winter give the beds a good covering of
coarse litter or spent tan, for protection
against frost, and remove it by the first
of April. A well-set bed will not reSS
quire renewing for several years. 1t is
so with the crocus, snow-drop, crown
imperial, etc.-GermantoWn Telegraph.
