THIS NEW VARIETY OF RADISH is
i heart-shaped, white and remarkably fine
favored, mild and brittle. 1t is the only
variety which the heat or dry weather does
not cause to run to seed, before forming
large and perfect Radish. Its delicacy of
flavor is retained during all stages OF growth
which continues for a period of ten weeks
from the time the first are fit for the table.
In this Radish all the desirable qualities
are most happily united to form the most
valuable variety ever introduced, and il has
developed the remarkable popularity, that
the last pulled have been fully equal TO the
first. l warrant it in all respects to equal
the above description and guarantee the
safe arrival of the seed. Price of the seed
by mail, postage paid, Is cents per large
package, four for 80 cents, or ten for 81. All
orders for more than one package will re-
ceive FREE, a beautiful chrome plate OF this
Radish. Remittance for less than one dol
lar, make in postage stamps. Remember,
this Radish is offered by the veteran Seed
Grower of Iowa. Address all orders to w.

With its proverbiai journalistic enterprise
and hberah:y the STATESMAN some time ago
employed an artist to visit the Jail At Wash

which the assassin Is to be executed to-mor-
row. ~ well - get . correct likeness Of the
chief actor in this jerking event. an inch

xAS an object lesson of great effectiveness
to children. especially young pirates. and to
politicians, who imagine that seven ounces
Of gray matter called brains. constitutes au-
thority for carrying q ward. county or State.
in their vest pockets.
And now, the day after the neetkiroiog-
ical affair, when il is too late TO command
the services Of another artist, We must ad-
NIT this we have been greatly Disappointed,
snd 10 our anger are almost ready to say
that this artlst cannot draw cait, much
less make sketch of this great national
event. We have the proof-shset, and Of
course it does not come up TO our idea of an
execution of this magnitude. We wanted
first, picture OF the scaifold Just moment
before the blsck cap Was pulled over the
head Of the assassin. and the tsc-s of the
congregation wore . sort OF l-wish-It-was.
over expression. Then We wanted a supple
mental picture, In which . Cuiteaa's-gon
look appeared ON the colIsctio Of faces. Our
artist has made many mistakes; We only
see the Hsaassin as be appeared while men,
bsr of Brooklyn church Sunday school, and
according to Our artist he is the most moral
and intellectual looking Of the crowd about
the gailows. There are six members of the
press in the corridor. and every mother son
of them Is bald headed, and intellectually
seem TO have been struck with discrepitude.
They look as if they had all lost their
friends and the Sheriff had the bottom
mortgage on the plant. Not pencil in

young journalist who would count the pegs

that, is aon est, and the press is represented

He seems to be paying very little attention
