A message from the President containing his
veto Of the river and harbor bill was received
by the house on the afternoon Of the first. The
principal objection voiced in the message is
that the bill contains appropriations for pur-
welfare and which do not promote commerce
in the state. The President holds that the ap-
preparation of public money for the benefit of
particular localities is beyond the powers given
by the constitution to congress and the execu-
one-half only Of the aggregate amount provid-
ed for in the bill be appropriated for expendi-
ture during the fiscal year and that the sum
appropriated be expended only for euch OBJ

the disposition of trees, long lanes bordered
with them, weary and crotchety people insist
that the trees keep the road damp and give
boards are SO many lanes and even the regu-
lar line of orcharding may be broken up
with gain in beauty and no appreciable loss
in utility. The natural disposition of trees
in the forest is rarely initiated in art but
when done the beauty gained is only rivaled
by natures own planting. In all cases the
Only healthy trees-those that hold their
health summer and winter-are beautiful.
Foreign varieties are curious to the eye, and
perhaps, beautiful, if healthy, otherwise they
do not harmonic with the place. A foreign
or away from friends and out of health is an
object of pity, not of beauty. Nature, rather
than art, gives beautiful forms to trees as
well as to other of her creations. Those
varieties that submit to marvellous trimming
into shapes Undesirable, show they are the
subject to very ingenious masters to the loss
of their natural beauty. All the lines of
beauty are in nature, a regard for variety in
foliage should be had. The hues of trees are
as much the Joy of autumn as flowers are of
spring A grove wholly of maple, a line en-
tirely of elms, large body of oaks, produce
an irritable sameness that can without loss in
value be broken up. Parks are beautiful
when they are enjoyed and people can walk
in them; but graveyard care of parks robs
them of their beauty. No one would tread
on graves-if he would he should be warned,
perhaps fenced of-so with q garden or
flower bed: but the Shade of a tree should
be enjoyed wherever it falls. School grounds
should be ornamented with trees-varied and
grouped SO as TO give the desired shelter and
display all their natural beauty, but the
pupils should not be fenced off when en-
livened by merry, boisterous children, these
grounds are most beautiful. Fort street.

In laying out grounds, no one l apprehend
will adopt the cut and autographed plans of
the professional landscape artist, unless he is
helpless as an unfortunate in ward, for the
inclination always is to inject some little
originality into the work, which even if it is
rough, may have some charm of beauty
about it.

As the time approaches for the converting
of the Legislature, and the election of U. s.
Senator to succeed Hon. Thos. w. Ferry, it
becomes more and more evident that there
is no man who is sure of an election to that
Office and that there will not be a choice
without a spirited contest. At present it
would be difficult matter for any one to
predict who will be the successful man. Be-
sides the names of Ferry and Hubbell, sever
al eminent gentlemen have been named,
among whom are Burrows, Horn, Lacey,
Willis and others, and it is entirely with
in the range of possibilities, perhaps of prob
abilities, that one of these gentlemen may
prove to be the coming man, instead of
either Ferry or Hubbell. Indeed we scarcely
think that the latter gentleman, himself, ex-
poets an election, but he will exert all his
influence to compass the defeat of Mr.. Ferry.
We doubt not that choice will be made of
some good thorough and able Republican.

Yesterday morning, Sheriff Heatherly, of
Barbour coun ty, telegraphed to Capt Ben.
nett to meet him at the b. q D. depot and
assist in escortipg to the Jail two convicted
Red Men. The mems names were Thomas
g: Warner and John Watkins, both of whom
had been tried and convicted as Red Men,
and sentenced to pay fine of $50 and costs
and be confined in Jail without bail, for
twelve months. The Court was of the
opinion that the Jail of Barbour county

night of November 2, 1881, by F. NJ. Homes
ana others, who forced Tailor Isaac N.
Phillip to open the Jail doors and release
all the Red Men confined therein.
Thomas G. Warner was convicted OF q
grave misdemeanor and sentenced as above
described In his testimony he. gave q
description Of the signs, grip and signals
used by the Red Men TO recognize each
other. The most important are these:
Their form of salutation is: Where are
YOU goingP Answer, "To the Centennial"
The grip consists in hooking the right hand
fore finger in the right hand fore finger OF
the other party, and placing the thumb on
the knucle Joint. Another signal OF recog-
notion is to place the fore finger on the
left hand side of the nose and the middle
finger on the right side OF the nose. The
oath of allegiance to the organization is one
of death secrecy.
At the present session of the Barbour
county Circuit.Court two other Red Men
named F. NJ. Hanes and Floyd Harsh were
convicted and sentenced the same rs Wat
kins and Warner. They have not yet been
brought to this Jail.
Our Jail is now crowded, there being
thirty-three prisoners in there last night.

commodate all that come from the mount.
