is true. The drouth has its advantages just
as every other thing. AS everything might
be better than 1t is, so everything might
be worse than it is. But people who suffer

One of the many up town gardeners,
named De Russeau, has conceived the plan
of building number Of hot houses in his
large vegetable garden near the Mississippi
levee in the upper portion of thecity. His OBJ
ject is to furnish the many people of Cairo
who have valuable house plants which they
cannot conveniently protect against the cold
of the coming winter, the means for pre-
serving them at small cost to themselves
But his plans include more than this. In
his green houses which will be three in
number, with capacity of one thousand
square feet each, and in accordance with the
latest approved plans, irrespective of cost,
he intends to raise great variety of plants,
shrubs, etc. for use IN identifying public
park-St. Mary's park, if he can get it. He
intends to apply to the city council tor
a ten year lease OF the park
and will, during that time, seek to make it
a delightful resort for the people OF Cairo
and vicinity. His plans with regard to the
character and extent of improvements he
contemplates are not yet entirely matured,
but to Judge from them so far as they are
matured, it Is safe to predict that, if he
carries them out, st. Mary's park will be
transformed into beautiful spot,
of which the city might
we'll be proud. In case he fails to make
satisfactory arrangements with the city
council for St. Mary's park, he intends to
enclose a portion of his own ground foI
that purpose. Fountains, grayelled walks
and drives, flower beds, trees, shrubs and
rare plants are among the attractions he In
tends to provide. This, in brief, are his
plans; it remains to be seen whether they
will be successfully carried out or not.
