The Uses of the Cellar.

DIR. George Thurber, the veteran
horticu turist, points out in the
Americaa Agricu'tUrist for September
some of the uses of cellars III keep
ing living plants:
Every one knows the importance
of a good cellar in preserving vege-
tables, but TO those who grow flow
ers it is of equal value in keeping
plants not used as food. There are
many things which can be kept
through the winter, in state of sus-
pended animation, so to speak, pro-
vided they do not actually freeze or
become killing dry. "There," said
a gentleman whose place Is one Of
the many near Boston, we'll worth
visiting, there is the most valuable
structure of the whole. " To 90
from one part of the grounds to an
other, on high land, a bridge was
needed, two heavy walls We're built
of stone; a roof of timbers was
made and covered with earth. This
gave both a bridge and an above
ground cellar, a spacious one. too,
in which tender and half hardy
plants, so largely used in the deco
ration of the grounds, We're kept
during winter. Most persons will,
however, content themselves with a
house cellar, and there is more dan
ger usually that it viii be too warm
rather than too cold. The tempera-
ture should be kept as near 40 as
possible. Light, if admitted at all,
should be put little, at most sort Of
twilight, rive do not wish the plants
to grow, but to keep in state of
complete rest. 1t will not do TO ut
terly neglect the plants thus stored
They will need very little water, but
towards spring, must have
enough 10 sustain life. In such a
cellar NAV be kept those shrubs that
are Just on the verge of hardness.
The variegated Hollies. Cape Jessa-
mines. Oleanders. PomegranateS,
and a long list of other evergreen
plants: also Fuchsias and other de-
cidious shrubs that have a complete
rest during winter. GeraniuBas, and
other bedding plants, taken up and
planted out in boxes of soil. will
keep almost as well in the cellar as
in greenhouse. Indeed a good
cellar, well used, is worth more to the
average amateur than greenhouse.

The Local Newspaper.

Every one knows that local
newspaper usually fairly represents
the place in which it is published.
If the paper is full of home adver-
tisementsit shows that the merchants
have on hand good stocks of mer-
chandise, and are seeking to advise
the public of the kind, variety and
general characteristics of their stock.
Manufacturers who advertise their
waIes not only inform the public
what they are making but at the
same time inform the world that
theirs is a manufacturing town.
For instance, Il you see Ia any ot
the local paper, the advertisements
of schools IL the particular locality
IN which the paper Is published, the
natural inference Is that the commu-
nifty III that locality 9a1ronize edu-
cation. and to greater orless extent
appreciates the advantages of edu-
catiOnal institutions. IL Is the same
with church notices. 4 local paper
that contains the announcements OF
religious meetings implies that the
community ia which the paper is
published is a moral, religious,
church-going one. If this Is true,
as regards educational and religious
advertisements and notices in local
papers, it Is true Of everything else
in the paper. The local newspaper
is a fair representative OF the com
munity in which it is Published. If
it is high-toned, moral, newsy and
wide-awake, it shows tnat the com
munity in which it is published is a
moral. wide-awake community, or
it would not sustain such a paper.
On the contrary, if the paper is low
in It's tastes, and its advertisements
are of a low order. it is Just as sure
that the people who buy it are of
the same class as the paper. News
papers, like all other things, are
made to supply 4 mark IT. A com
munity which wants a good repre-
sentative paper should sustain 1t.
The best paper in the place should
receive the patronage of the largest
number, and viii do so if the largest
number are the best class of people
BY the-best class, we do not mean
the richest, but the most moral and
honest, having the best and most re-
fined tastes, or those who are most
ambitious to cultivate the best and
most refined tastes and TO educate
their children up to be the best men
and women and the most worthy
citizens. Its this class that patron
ize a good family newspaper by sub
scriptions, in order to have it read
in the family, and this class also
which advertise in it to let the com
munity know what they nave to
sell and where to buy.-HaTiybury

1890 the more humane law was en-
acted by Congress, that refusal to
plead should be treated in capital
cases as equivalent to a plea of not

since been extended to all crimes
and has been adopted by AL the
States, though in Massachusetts, as
late as 1886 a person standing mute
when indicted for misderneanor

impulse or petty spite. fear men who
are moved by high and holy motives,
for a party or clique which cannot
command the confidence and respect
of the pulpit is little likely to win
and hold the people; so without
meaning il our Knight of the Long
Ears scores one point for Gen. Bea-
yer. He saws again that 1t Is most
remarkable fact that so omanv moral
men and men OF sterling worth sup
port the Republican ticket, and with
the most astounding moral and logi-
cal obliquity he proceeds 10 commits
crate the moral men and the party
supported bv them. For the first
time in history We learn that moral
itv and worth are indicative OF lack
OF sense and prudence, but we are
well content to have these men on
our side: they have a very serious
habit OF winning the cause they
espouse. and we certainly cannot
find il in cur hearts to pity General
Beaver for having such a following.
The party represented by the brayer
of the Lancaster Ltelagencer may
feel proud sense of independence
in standing apart from the pulpit
and the moral sense Of the cOmmnnl-
", but the Republican Party Is by
tradition and usage dependent on
both of these forces and is tot at all
ashamed of being so, strange as 1t
NAV appear. But the writer outdoes
himself in childish folly a little fur
ther on in his article, when he says
that probably seventy five thousand
people will not vote the Republican
ticket. but aid in handing it over to
the Democrats. 1t has been asserted
by some practical joker that figures
never lie. but unfortunately men do,
and figures marshalled by such are
apt to 90 through very suspicious
motions, but we wouldn't find much
fault with the figures, as We must
have humor in the canvas, had not
this assining scribler actually dared
to call that pitiful corporal's guard
the people of Pennsylvania. One
might lust as well call Tug Wilson
the people of England or Sullivan
the people Of Boston, as a few sore
heads and chronic GROWERS the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania Had the vot-
ers Of this State one foot that could
be broughtin easy proximity to that
scribe. they would be likely to send
him on a lengthy aeronautic excur-
sion for his ignorance and impu-
dence. 1t is very true that religious
and mortal men irrespective of party
are Fastening to the assistance OF the
Republican nominees, and we do
not wonder at it at all, for we should
greatly wonder if it were otherwise.
In fact the disgust with Pattison
and the political Latter Day Saints
is so great that Beaver grows stron.
ger day by day, and can afford to
stand still and see the salvation Of
the Lord.
