The Toronto Globe says it learns
on excellent authority that the Ca

A LOCAL STEAMBOAT.

We are in need Of a good local
steamboat to ply about this portion
of Whatcom county. As it re-
mains at present the farmers in
the vicinity of the Nooksack and
Samish fats are without any conn
parative means of outside communi-
cation in the matter of sending their
produce to market. A small stea-
mer, built after the common shovel
nose, wheel,barrow pattern, con-
nectlng at this place as a practicable
deep water depot and also with the
steamers running on the inside
route to- Seattle, and the Hope On
the outside for Port Townsend, could
work up business that would pay
well for the capital invested. From
good authority we learn that the
ocean steamers will call in at Ship
harbor this fall for grain, this being
the natural center for all grain and
produce raised in this section, and
being distance Of only twenty miles
out of their direct route up Sound.
This will be an additional attrac-
ton for local steamer. A promi-
nent merchant on the Nooksack
river informs US thai his freight bill
alone amounted to 800 per month,
and he Is by no means the only sh ip-
per in that section. By the cutting
away of the jam, the river is navi-
gable distance of thirty miles from
its mouth, tapping oDe Of the rich
est sections Of western Washington.
A steamer could easily run regular
trips to both the Nooksack and the
Samish once week, and. in the
meantime could probably obtain
more or less business among the
islands of the archipelago. BY
having communication by means of
trunk line running through to
Victoria, and local steamboat con-
Meeting with them at this place as
the most convenient and centrally
located, it can easily be seen that
benefits would be derived which will
be Of inestimable advantage to the
entire county. Many persons in
this county have been, and are at
the present time, opposed to any
thing that will help another section,
although they themselves may OBJ
tain indirectly the greatest benefit,
and at the same time they are cog
infant of this fact. Yet it is strange
~ true that such is the case. Such
petty jealousy existing between
few obscure postofice stations, each
one !clamoring for the right to be
recognized above all others as the
leading metropolis, has had the eff.
feet of seriously rotarding many Gu
terprises Of common interest to the
whole community.

How the Gar Enjoys Himself.

In the meanwhile the Emperor enjoys
himself after his style at Peterhoff, de-
Tended on every side like fortress but
occasionally openly showing himself to
the enemy ne public. The Empress
is slowly recovering from her confne-
ment, but the nervous prostration still
remains, and it is said that it is largely
for her sake that the coronation has
been left in its present uncertain coudi-
ton. Personally she is averse to it's
celebration, and shares the view of sew
eral of the Cars advisers, that if he
can rule Russia without o crown as well
as with one why should he run the risk
of Il coronationp The Gar has been
amusing himself of late with sloop,
propelled by electricity, which arrived
at Peterhoff short time ago from Cron-
stadt. where it had been constructed for
the heir-apparent. Quite fotilla of

Great changes are being made in the
personnel of the Imperial household, and
it is stated that, for the future the main

course of life at Peterhoff, but also the

The parasites of the late court are hav-
ing a terribly bad time of it now. No

to swell the popular clamor against him.
The Winter Palace is under repair and
many suits Of apartments are ordered
to be furnished afresh. A few weeks
ago deal of old lumber found in one
of the garrets of the palace was sold

an apparently good effect upon the In

Preparing for Winter.

1t is a great mistake to delay the
work Of preparing for winter until it is
suggested by cool nights or warning
given by blighting frosts When a
plant has been taken from a pot and
planted in open ground it usually out
grows its former place and is too large
for any vessel of convenient size. The
root should be cut away to consid-
cradle extent aud likewise the top or
foliage be correspondingly reduced.
Novices often fail at this point, for
they dislike to part with any of the
new growth, and set the plant in pot
unpruncd and expect what is not possi-
BILE, that it will flourish. Cut back
root system and branch system equally
is the rule. Plants when thus trans
planted need to be favored by being
kept in the shade and sheltered from
the drying winds until they have
made a good start in the pots. Many
of the house-plants are kept in the
pots during the summer, and they will
need repotting, or the pot washed
and the surface soil replaced by fresh
rich earth. A larger pot is needed by
those plants whose roots have formed
u mat along the inner surface. The
ball of earth can be examined q1ickly
by spreading the left hand on the ves-
sel-the stem passing between the
fingers-and with the other hand on
the bottom, inverting the pot and
giving the edge a downward tap
against some object. If this does not
succeed, pour some water around the
edge, and after short time repeat the
operation. All old pots should be
clean, and if new ones are used soak
them in water until the pores are filled.
A piece of broken vessel is placed over
the bottom hole before filling in the
potting-earth. All the necessary pots,
soil, etc, should be obtained now,
that they may be at hand when need
ed at any time during the winter.
