HoT WATER FOR PLANTS. 1t has long
been known that the roots of plants encas-
ed in earth would stand water so hot as to
be quite uncomfortable to the hand. nj.
WillermoZ, in the journal of the Society
of Practical Horticulture, of the Rhone,
France. relates that plants in pots may be
treated with hot water when out Of health,
the usual remedy for which has been re-
potting. lie says when iIl-health ensues
from acid substances contained or genera
ted in the soil and this is absorbed by the
roots, it acts as a poison. The small roots
are wlthered and cease their action; conse-
quently the upper and younger shoots OF
the plant turn yellow, and the spot with
which the leaves are covered indicate their
morbid state. In such cases the usual re-
medy is to transplant into fresh soil, clean
the pots carefully and secure good drain
age, and often with the best results. But
the experience of several years has proved,
with him, the unfailing efficacy of the SIM
pier treatment, which consists in watering
abundantly with hot water at tempera-
ture of about 145e F., having previously
stirred the soil of the pots so far as might
be cone without injury to the roots. Water
is then gwen until it runs freely from the
pots. In his experiments the water first
came out clear; afterwards it was sensibly
tinged with brown, and gave an apprecia-
BILE acid reaction. After this thorough
washing, the pots were kept warm. Next
day the leaves of FfcUS eLaSticd so treat
ed ceased to droop, the spread of the black
on their leaves was arrested, and three days
afterwards, instead of dying, the plants
bad recovered their normal look of health.
Very soon they made new roots, lmmedi-
ately followed by vigorous growth.

teenth street, and street, proceeded TO Col.
Burnside's residence, in o street. The men
were in full-dress uniform, without over
coats, and at the head Of the column was
borne aloft the magnificent stand of colors
won at the recent military competition at the
Capitol. The marching was splendid, and the
perfect wheels made at the various corners
and the different company cvolutions evoked
round after round of applause from the crowd
that followed the procession. Arrived in front
of Col. Burnsides house, tho company was
drawn up in line, the band played Hail to
the Chief" and colored fires were lighted
bathing the whole scene in sea of red There
was call for Col. Burnside, who came out
on the steps and said; "I thank you most
sincerely for this soronade. When, on last
Friday Prof, Sousa rendered me serenade

and were royalty entertained with an elegant
collation.. The Marine Band rendered some
very pretty pot pourris, and the Rifles Quar-
tette, under the leadership of J. F. Blois
