WIT AND PLEASANTLY.

Irishmen are proverbial for their intense
admiration Of the fair sex. This is probably
because 30 many of the ladies are home
rulers.

Gardens on the Water.

6O4den Days.
During the fourteenth century, the Aztecs,
. tribe Of native Mexicsns, for the want OF
sufficient land, invented floating gradeus, or
chinampas, upon which were cultivated
nearly ali the flowers and vegetables that
eupplied the ancient city Of Mexico, for
merly called Tenochtitlan.
The original idea of this invention is sup
posed to have been suggested TO the Arises
BY observing the floating islands OF Lake
Chalco. Certain it is, their own artificial
islands were constructed as nearly after the
same manner as art can imitste nature
Large pieces Of turf were Joined BY reeds
PUSHES, knOtty and INTERVIEWING roots, and
then covered with sediment taken from the
bottom Of the lake.
These Taft-hke islands often firm enough
90 hold hut, were soon converted into rich
gardens, several of which were generally I'M
der the charge and cultivation of one Indian
who tOved OF. propelled them about at pleas
nre by means of a long pole.
These gardens were often two or three
hundred feet in length, 8bout twenty in
breadth, and had a depth of soil sufficient to
nOurish trees. They were separated from
each other by narrow dikes, and usually
0TnRmented with beautiful border OF flow
eTs or hedge Of rose-trees.

aids set about with jewels Of pearl, ruby,
sapphire and topaz"
Few traces, If sny, now remain OF those
once remarkable chinsmpss of Mexico.
Floating islands. however, are found in
every zone, formed by turf masses which,
being detached from the land, are held TO-
gether by grasses, weeds and tangled roots,
and drift hither and thither, the spirit OF
every passing breeze, continually adding TO
their accumulstions. These islands form
into groups and are in time covered with
plants, shrubs, trees, and not unfrequently
even animal life.

Judge GoodiDe and the speakership.
THaupOak

Judge GoodlDg and the speakershtp.
Hancock DemocrstI
Now that the election Is over and the re-
suit ia before the country. with nearly two
thirds of the Legislature of Indiana Demo
cratic, the question of the Speakership ut
the House OF Representatives is already
being agitated, and is of no small importance
In its bearing on the legislation OF the
State. The Democratic party will be on
its good behavior, and can not afford any
wild, unjust or corrupt legislation. nor
any legislation In the interest OF the
few at the expense OF the many. The
Speaker of the House OF Represen tatives
should not only be an honest man and in
sympathy with the masses of the people, but
also a pariiamentarian OF some considerable
experience, decision and firmness and q
Democrat whose high standing and ability
is known and recognized throughout this
State, and whose integrity and incorrupt-
bility Is uDquestioned. All fsir-mined men
will without hesitation concede that Judge
Gooding fills the above requirements, and
in addition to all of which it can be truly
said that next TO Hendricks and Voorhees,
no man In this State has done more effective
campaign service on the stump for the
ing. For the last sixteen years,
in every campaign, he has canvassed a con-
siderable portion of this State and made two
CAMPAIGNS in Ohio, without Office or psy.
III such services, rendered the party so freely
and so ably, are proper to be considered in
the election Of the Speaker, Judge Gooding's
election 10 assured. His labors have not
been local, but genersl and throughout this
State, and his election is not expected or de-
sired for local. but general purposes. With
