Must Know II Is Beer.

John Callahan, a saloon keeper at
Market and I'D SIS, Philadelphia, was
convicted in Judge Fcll'S court yester-
day of selling beer on Sunday. A mo-
tio,, was Immediately made for a ne"
trial and the prisoner released on bail
pending argument. The defense, among
other things, claimed that it had not
been proven thai the article Dispensed
was beer. Judge Fell charged the jury

More Fruit Trees.

Randolph Peters, the leading fruit
man in the State received on Tuesday
morning consignment OF 10, 600 cherry
aud 10, 900 plum trees direct from Or
leans. France, in bond direct to the pOr
of Wilmington. This is the first c0nSign
ment probably that was ever made di
rect from IL European port to Whining
ton without coming first through some
other port Of entry.
This makes the third large consign'
lnrnt of trees that Mr.. Peters has re-
ceived from France this Spring, and h'
has been notified that two other large
consignlnrnts are on the way. Thrst
figures sound large AT ii casual reading
INT when peach farms, "onta ming Il
hundred thousand trees, are taken int
consideration, they do not appear st
large after all. Mr.. Peters is doing 4
very large trade in trees in California
and other Pacific States.

EASTER FLOWERS.
The Flowers that are Most In Fa.
vOr, and what they Cost i'm New
York.

WIZ ~"N n0s suoy NVDs sss AsS"
York.
The New York Tribune says: A
glance at the florists shOpin these warm
days discovers many indications of a
prosperous Faster season. The windows
are full of color and fragrance. The
dude stops to Gull knot of viOlets for his
new spring Overcoat and the passing
shopper brushes bunch Of yellow roses
into her belt and hurries away to shed
their petals and perfume from shop to
shop and from counter to counter. Just
before Faster the demand tor dollhouse
flowers is the greatest for dinner decor
| atoms.
AT a dinner given by IA noted horse
man IN this city tOa few of his turf AS
sociates at Delmonico's recently, the
flowers for the table cost the Luculius
of the feast not less than IA thousand
dollars. Baskets of exotics were sent
ont to his guests lady friends which
cost $75 apiece. Among Faster plants
the favortes are the Spirua .japonica,
some choice specimens Of which are
shown for dollar IL plant azaleaS OF
all colors from Sl5O to -, hyacintlis
from Is cents to $l.jO, erica CT Scotch
heather, which carries Il dainty wax
like flower and costs from one to two
dollars a plant, and an old fashioned
plant called stock, more beautiful on
that account to some buyers for its sug-
geston of country gardens intrenche'l
in box and smelling Of lilacs and fresh
mould.
Among the roses most in demand AT
this time are the Catliarinn Mermct. OF
the faintest shade of pink, like the
shadow Of blush on a girls cheek ;
the Cornelia Cook. the pure white rose ;
the Jaclucminot, much favored for
corsage bOuuets by brnnettes in velvet ;
the Paul Neion and NipEetos, the
former large pink and the latter a
large white variety and the Bon
Silene, Il modest rose just too pink for
white and two white for red. Among
yellow roses the Mareclal Neil and the
Perle dos ,jar,lins are the most conspicu-
Gus and costly. The prices of roses
| vary from 10 cents to 81 according to
the customer and the florists stock.
For church dccoratian and Easter
pieces the LiiIrn forum and the Lii
lium Candidum are scarce and in great
demand.
The Gala is o,ll of fashion this season,
and those who admire its slender white
ness will easily obtain it AT reduced
prices at Matthesen'S greenhouse, near
Thirty-ninth street. A Trih,In" report

DUKES, THE ASSASSIN.
Steps 10 Prevent his Taking his
Seat in the House.


HARRISBURG, Pa, March 20, 1855
There il but one sentiment in the House
of Representatives in regard to the
claim of the assassin Dukes, of Fayette
county, for his seat as the member
elect from that district, and that is that
he should be excluded.
This evening the first step in the
proceedings was taken. Captain
Blerer, 1democrat), Of Westmore-
land County, offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
this House that some action should bc
taken looking to the proper disposition
of the question az to the right Of Nich0-
las Lyman Dukes, of Fayette county,
to hold his title to II seat in the House
of Representatives.
A motion by Mr. Hasson (democrat) },
Of Venango county, to refer to the
Judiciary General Committee was
amended by MIR. Niles (repnblican), OF
Tioga, calling for All immediate report,
and passed without Il dissenting voice.
The committee will meet at nine O'Clock
in the morning, and will probably re-
port a resolution declaring the seat va
cant, or else ordering the appointment
Of IA committee to go through the form
of an investigation to prove Dukes in
famous character and his uniitncSs to
act as a law maker.
The origca letters, wl;"!, h" sent
to the mu." rad Captain \'u', have
been brought 10 Harrisburg ,'nd ever,
ro,>i'nli, na- been provided for dis
posi-. of HI, c;lSc without delay. He
has not yet come t" the city, but it is
understood that he will present him
self at the bar of the House during the
present week and demand to be sworn.
There is no probability that his de.
mand will be complied with, for the
constitution requires that the oath must
be administered by IA Justice oftlie SUI
preme Court or a Judge Of Common
Pleas, and no one can be found to per-
form that office for him.

Artificial Flowers.


What a wonderful trade this is be-
coming! In New York alone there are
$50 manufactures, in Philadelphia a
large number, while as far west as
Chicago they are making an experiment
in the same direction. One of the lead
ing flower stores relies entirely upon
French goods, which are of course more
carefully prepared. and of higher artistic
merit than domestic manufactures as
yet. But there are rapid strides being
made, and one of the largest houses on
Broadway boasts of not having a single
foreign hand. Now that Dame Fashion
has decreed in the most autOcratic man
ner that an abundance of artificial
flowers shall be used, not only for bon
nets and corsage bouquets, but as trim
mings for dresses, both dinner and even
ing toilets, the question arises how and
where to get the prettiest, cheapest and
most appropriate flowers. Modjeska
was the first to set the fashion IN favor
of flower garniture. The white flowers
are all made during the long dark days
of winter. as white is more easily worked
on than any other color. 1t must cheer
the hearts Of those steady workers to
feel that In spite of rain and snow and
cold there are brighter days coming, q
week maybe Of rest, when they can 60
away and seek the very flowers their
uimble fingers fashion But the water

or OF volunteers, or of such as have re-
enlisted, there only remain $40. OCO
places TO be filled up by the recruits.
Under these conditions it is not only i'm
possible that the recruits should remain
five years, as required by the law, with
the colOrs, but even when the term of
service is reduced to four wears it is i'm
possible to find room for all recruits for
this shorter period. Some .conscripts.
therefore, are kept with the colors only
one year, and to determine who shall be
so favored.lots are drawn. The lottery
then separates the recruits into two
classes; sixty-six in every 100 Tor two
thirds) of the young soldiers are re-
quired to serve the long term of four
years; the remaining one-third Cor thir-
ty-three per cent? have but one year Of
service. The first class is further di-
vided, inaSmuch as some men are de-
tached from it in order to compose the
infantry and artillery of the marines.
These number about four in every 100
recruits. So, supposing commune
ought to furnish 100 men, those who
draw the numbers l, 2, 8, are drafted
into the marines, in which service they
remain nearly four years; the numbers
from to sc serve this long term in the
1duu army Gue IdSG % are Incorporated
in the land army for one year. After
the lots are drawn revisional council
sits, in order to examine whether the
conscripts are fit for military service,
and to decide upon the exemptions
which shall be allowed. There is no
complete exemption. either in peace or
in war, save for such as are pronounced
to be absolutely unfit for any service.
Some 10000 annually obtain this entire
immunity Fortnigbtly ReUieaC
