A Hint for Window Gardening.

A recent English writer gives the fol-
lowing, which suggests way in which
hardy wood-climbers might be made
available for window decoration in win
ter or early spring.
sESome years ago, as i was passing
through room used only occasionally,
I perceived an odor of fresh flowers that
surprised me, as none were ever kept
there. On raising the curtain of the east
window, saw that branch of Dutch
honeysuckle had found its way between
the two sashes at one corner, while
growing in the summer, and had ex-
tended itself quite across the window;
and on the branch inside there were
three or four clusters of weil-developed
flowers, with the usual accompaniment
of leaves, while on the main bush out
side there was not yet q leaf to be seen.
The flowers inside were just as beautiful
and fragrant as if they had waited until
the natural time of blooming. Since
then / have tried the experiment pur-
posely, and always with the same re-
suit"
A heavy covering of the ground over
the roots of the plants with leaves, and
sufficient protection of the stem outside,
would allow this method to be practised
in quite severe climates.

Particularly Peaceful Wasps.

All sorts@of unconsidered tribes find
their way into postal pillar-boxes besides
the letters for the collection of which these
conveniences are specially erected. One
of the receptacles in question was chosen
last week in the Alsatian village of
Schwarzbach by a swarm of wasps -as
the summer residence of that fornida-
BILE community. The wasps built their
nest inside the metal case in such a
manner that their domicile in no way
interfered with the depositing or remov-
al of Schwarzbaeh's daily correspond

them with respectful forbearance- No

Couldn't Beat EN-.

An Englishman stopping at a country
inn in one OF the Eastern States, was
continually Boosting about the SUPERIOR
ty of everything in England and depre-
ciating the productions of America The
landlord, rs may be surmised, did not
relish this, and therefore thought of q
plan to get even with the boaster.
Procuring a half dozen fine healthy
crabs, he poured them into the English
mans bed, and telling his guest that his
bed was ready, he lighted a candle and
escorted him upstairs. Upon reaching
the door the man managed to put out
the light. OF course it did not make
much difference to the Englishman, so
he undressed himself and jumped into
bed Immediately he gave terrific
yell and cried:
Landlord Come here! What are
these in bed?"
The landlord who was outside the
door, and who had lit the candle, came
and looked in the bed and coolly said:
''Them's bedbugs- Can you beat them
in England?,'

Chicago is full team. and would make
q regular sSodom. and Gomorrah- Her
record of murders alone since Septem-

time, for murder in every form almost
known in the annals of crime. Some of
the murderers have been sentenced to
death, some to Imprisonment for life,
and the remainder to terms of greater
or less duration. No wonder that when

OagteIars Oratory.

Castelar,, SPANS greatest orator, re-
sembles the late Rufus Choates in the
style of the eloquence and in his manner
of speaking. Like Choate, he is very
nervous man, and throws himself, soul
and body, into his speeches. 1t is doubt
full if the Spaniard's oratory would have
an important influence in the House of
Commons. An Englishman is practical,
and SO much in love with facts as to be
Indifferent TO mere rhetoric. Great as
was Choate before jury or a mass
meeting, he did not attain to eminenee
as a debater while in Congress. But
Castelar's audiences in the Cortes are
Spaniards who love tropes and apostro-
Plies for themselves. Therefore we can
easily believe the following account of
the effect his speeches produce:
Before speaking, he is restless and
cannot keep quiet an instant, he enters
the Chamber, leaves it, RENTERS, goes
out again, wanders through the cor
ritiors, goes into the library and turns
over the leaves of a book, rilshes into
the cafe to take a glass of water, seems
to be seized with fever, fancies that he
will not know how to put the words to-
gether, that he win be laughed at or
Kissed; not single lucid idea of his
speech remains in his head; he has con-
fused and forgotten every thing.
Hoy is your pulse?n his friends ask,
smilingly.
When the moment for speaking ar
rives, he takes his place, with a bowed
head, trembling and palid as a man
condemned to death, who is resigned to
losing in a single day the glory acquir-
ed with so many years of fatigue; at
that moment even his enemies feel pity
for his condition He rises, gives a
glance around him, and says, sSenoresn
At once his courage returns, his mind
grows clear, and his speech comes to
him like forgotten air; the President,
the Cortes, the tribunes disappear. He
see nothing but his gestures, hears moth
ing but his own voice, and feels naught
but the irresistible flame which burns
within him. and the mysterious force
that sustains and upholds him.
81 no longer see the walls of the
ROOM" he exclaims; II behold distant
peoples and countries which l have
never seem"
He speaks by the hour, and not a
deputy leaves the room, not a person
moves in the tribune, not a voice inter
rupts him, not a gesture disturbs him;
not even when he breaks the regulations
has the president sufficient courage to
interrupt him.
CASTELAR, is master of the assembly; he
thunders, lightens, sings, RACES and
CLEANS like fireworks; makes his audi
tors smile, calls forth shouts of enthusi-
asm, ends amid storm of applause,
and goes away with his head in whirl-'
