Climbing Vines.



There are only a few vines that will cling
of their own accord. These are the varieties
of the English ivy, the trumpet vine and the
different kinds of ampelopsis, and even the
English ivy will not stick to smooth walls
But if the trumpet vine or the ampelopsis be
planted with the ivy the latter will cling to
the other vines as well as to the wall, and
then keep safe hold. The evergreen euonymus
makes good self-clImbing vine, though not
so much used as it really deserves to be. In
order to have the beauty of variety which
the great number of hardy vines affords.
it is best to have trellises over the
face of the walls. These are best made
of strong galvanized wire. Iron hooks
should be fastened by melted sulphur into
stones sunk under ground, and others up un-
der the caves, and the wires attached to these
Cross wires can then be fastened to these, 30
as to make the meshes about foot apart.
Properly done these wires will last lifetime,
and the vines will, with a very little help
make their way of their own accord up the
wires. Recently the writer noted a plant of
the red-berried pyracantha trained up over
wires in this way. Ever green, and covered
with bright red berries, few things could
make cottage wall more gay. Wires, trel-
liges, and other preparations, can be made for
this vine planting before the spring time
comes

Review OF the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets


Provision Markets.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 20.
General business continues very dull, owing
in part to very dsagreeable weather, aud the
indications are that there is to be no material
Improvement before next month; but with good
weather in April the deficit in volume of trade
in March can be readily made up. Dry-goods
men report trade only fair. Leather dealers
speak in the same way. Hardware men talk
more cheerfully: say their trade is improving
Grocers are having slow trade, and the lead
ing articles are devoid of any new features. The
egg market is still reported dun, and with the
supply accommodating and holders generally more
anxious to realize, prices are weak, and, as will
he seen, we have again reduced our quotations.
As prices have gone off East there is little or no
demand for shipment eastward, and dealers are
now compelled to work off their stock in this
market. Choice butter continues to meet with q
steady demand at prices quoted. Potatoes are
coming forward more freely, several carloads
as the demand is chiefly for small lots prices are
sasler but unchanged.
In provisions little is doing at least II there
u any transactions OF Importance except in n
lpbbing way, they are not reported, There has
been no change in prices here for a couple of
weeks or more, although dealers say that they
scarcely cover lay down cost, hence au advance

show the number of hogs packed from March
TO date, and latest mail oates, at the unuermen-
TONED places, with comparisons as follows:

he cuts off the leaves of the sun6ower plant

The Russian sunfower makes the best and
most profitable stake because it is so easily
obtained, no loosening of the ground or
breaking of stakes when loaded with fruit,

ways for stock.

NEUROLOGY OF TIE YEAR.

The closing moments of 1882 witnessed the death
agony of one of the worlds greatest citizens On
the first morning Of what was then the New, but is
now the Old Year. Paris learned, with startling
suddcnness that Gambetta was dead, and repeated
with reyerent emotion or else with nervous trepi-
dation his last words: :" am lost ii is useless TO
dissemble; but have suffered so much that 1t will
DO deliverance." He was prominently the Or
ganizing genius of the Third Republic, aud almost
tho only heroic figure Of the Revolution which fol-
lowed Sedan. Even the malignant spirit OF politi-
cal faction did not venture to depreoate the magni-
tude OF his patriotic services albeit IT persisted
with morbid curiosity. in prying into the dishonor-
able secrets of his private life. greater tribute to
his character than the costly funeral pageant was
tho period of gddness and tmidity which followed
his death. When ministers were startled by the
escapade of so contemplate adversary as Prince
Plon-Plon, and when legislators In panic-terror,
were fighting with the shadow of Orleanist usurpa-
ton. the world knew that France had met with an
irretrievabe loss in the death of leader, who had
inspired public faith in the permancnce OF existing
institutions
