FLOWERS AND THE LAWN.

Hoe the roses we'll. Coleus slips now root easily. Dig up weeds from the lawn. Propagate sweet alyssum for winter. The hardy geranirlms do well on rock, cries.
 Pansies can be propagated by cut tings.
 The root fibrils of plants die annually, like the leaves.
 The blooming of plants will be increased, if all dead flowers and seed pods are removed, to say nothing of better appearances.
 If long, struggling shoots start up on flower ing shrubs, they should be pinched back now, while in soft state, thus giving all the others better chance, and tending to make a shapely bush.
 Liquid Manure for Summer Flowers, -Petunias, verbenas, mignonette and many other kinds of flowers usually show signs of exhaustion from overfiowing, by midsum- mer. By touching such lberally now with liquid manure number of times, they will take a new hold, and keep on blooming free ly for months yet
 Loose Gravel on Walks.-If the gravel is properly put down to bind, there is little cause for loose gravel at the surface, and it is easy to have the walks without 1t and as firm as stone, almost. The use of small quanti- ty of finely screened, sandy clay-rather more of clay than of sand-is what is needed as an ingredient of the walk. This, if the gravel is already in place, may be scattered over the surface, and worked into the bed with rake afterwerd, rolling it firmly. Use sprinkler on it while the rolling is i'll progress If new walks are being made, this same article should be mixed with the gravel in the proportion of about one tenth of the bulk, before putting it down. Heavy rolling has good deal to do with the making of good gravel walks

THE AMERICAN LINES FATE.

A Gentleman who Regards it as Omi-

PHILADELPHIA, March 2O.-A gentle
man in authority to speak states that no
disposition has yet been made of the ships
of the American Steamship Line. The
company has had number OF offers, but
none Of them were satisf actOry, and the
Directors are now considering a PROPOSE
ton made by the International Naviga-
tion Company, which operates the Red
Star Line. The gentleman giving this in
formation states that if the terms
OF the Navigation Company are accepted,
two of the vessels of the American Steam
ship Company viii be run out Of New
York, and the identity Of an entirely
American line will be wiped out, as the
vessels will be registered under foreign
cOlOrs. The reason for this is, he stated,
that no lines of steamers sailing under
the American colOrs can be made to pay.
He further states that the American
Steamship Company had concluded that
it could expect no relief from the Ameri-
can Congress, and would have to accept
the best price that it could obtain for the

The GreeIy Relief Expedition.

The joint letter Of Secretaries Lincoln
and Chandler, advising against Offering
rewards for the rescue Of the Greely
party by toe independent efforts Of private
parties is calling ont quite number o.
letters in opposition 70 it. The letter o.
the Secretaries gives various reasons why
it would not be wise to offer rewards
The chief reason. however, is that oilers
Of reward may lead 70 the necessity Tor
further expeditions To- relief or rescue
hereafter. II is true that If any Of the
searching parties should be missed for
such a length Of time as 70 justify the BE-
lief that they had met with misfortune,
the government would be under ObIga-
ton % do all it could for their re-
lief, but the apprehension on that
account ought not TO be 50 great as 10 pro-
hi5it the Offering Of rewards if there is
ground Tor believing that private enter
prise could accomplish more than the
government in afiOrdiBg the Greedy party
relief. There is not the mast implicit
confidence in the ability Of the govern
ment 70 accomplish all it is possible 10
accomplish in resculng Lieut.. Greedy.
The government has everything that is
necessary to TT out relief expedition,
but there is 50 much formality and red
tape connected with the War and Navy
Departments that it is believed to be al
most impossible for an expedition under
government auspices to obtain the best
results. The failure Of the Proteus eXpe-
dition last year was largely due To
laundering in the Signal Service Bureau.
In behalf Of the plan Of Offering rewards
it is urged that the governments Of Europe
have followed it and have found it 70
answer admirably. 1t is also pointed out
that the Captains Of the whalers, which
visit the Arctic regions, are much more
competent TO conduct "a searching party
in the frozen North than any army or
navy officer that could possibly be Sc
lected. They are familiar with the ice
and its movements, and they have eXpe-
rience in the management Of a ship in the
ice. They are educated for the kind Of
work required Of relief expedition, and
an army or navy officer is not. Before
adopting the views Of Secretaries Lincoln
and Chandler it would DE well for the gov
eminent 70 give the plan Of offering re-
wards further consideration.

The Whisky Bill.

There seems to be disposition IN Wash
ingtOn on the part Of the opponents Of the
tariff bill TO create the impression that
tie whisky bill and the Morri-
son bill have some sort OF
connection with and dependence upon
each other. We do not believe that there
is any foundation for such an impression.
Inc whisky men are fighting their battle
and care nothing about the tariff bill. In
the last Congress there were no connecting
interests between the whisky and tariff
questions, and there is no reason to think
there is in this. Last winter sen
ator Sherman, an earnest oppO-
nent Of tariff reduction, favored
the extension Of the bonded whisky
period, and it is probable he fayors it now.
The whisky men may be using money i'm
properly 10 advance their bill, but the
probability is they are not. All sorts Of
stories We're told about corrupt methods
employed TO advance the bill last winter,
but nobody was ever found TO vOuch
for them. The whisky men are
IN tight place, and they want Congress
to help them out Of it. They brought their
trOubleon themselves by producing more
whisky than the country could consume.
If their bill, extending the bonded period
two years, were passed it is not improba-
bic tnat they would soon be in the same
sort Of difficulty again. Whether the
whisky bill passes or not it is pretty safe
to assert that it has no relations with the
Morrison bill.
