for the best Of motives-there can be no

think there is a growing interest in the
cultivation of ferns. IL certainly furnishes
much pleasurabie satisfaction. In talking
with friends / have often been told that they
did not understand sufficiently well how 10
cultivate ferns 70 make the effort successful
II you win publish the following on this sub
tect, II viii, 1 believe, be read with interest
by mhny II our patrons. For much OF the
information l nm indebted to a friend in
Europe.
Many species OF ferns may be grown In the
open air. Some 10 luire protection, but even
these thrive admirably aud produce "A beau
tifui appearance. II they have only the pro-
lection Of n window-case. Nevertheless,
many mistakes are made In tho cultivation
OF these plants, apparently for tho reason
that this, although not difficult, requires,
Ike most other thing. a certain amount OF
attention. For instance, 10 Is n mistake TO
suppose that for tbe cultivation of ferns moth
ing Is required but to give them plenty Of
water and keep them In the shade. Acting
upon this advice, the poor ferns are kept
drenched with water, until the soil becomes
a perfect bog. and they are carefully ex-
cluded from even a chance streak Of sun
shine; the result Of such treatment naturally
is that after n bBief existenre they miserably
perish
Another mistake into which people fall Is
based ON the theory that ferns require plenty
Of heat, shade aud moisture; and this is
acted upon without the slightest qualihca-
ton, no matter whether the ferns In question
are natives of California or Cochin China,
Botany Bay or Bengal. To a certain extent
these views sTe right enough, but they 70
quire Modification, and special application in
particular cnses. 1t may safely be laid down
as a general principle that moisture in
abundance is essential to the well being Of
all ferns, but provision must always be made
to carry it away quickly, for II allowed to
become staenant nbout their roots, sickness
and death will speedily follow.
Again, ferns enjoy shade, but It is quite
erroneous 20 suppose that in a state Of ma
ture they grow in sunless spots, for some OF
the most delicate kinds are growing on the
sunny side Of mountain slopes, although
some species do grow most iuxuriously on a
northern aspect. In the matter of heat, even
with the strictly tropical kinds, cultivators
usually err on the side OF excess, the conse-
quences OF which are weakly growth and a
plague OF thrips; for. it may he taken for
granted that when these insect pests abound,
the atmosphere Is too hot or too dry, or I'm all
probability both, and the subject OF their
attacks must at once be removed to a cooler
temperature. European ferns generally are
easy TO cultivate, and yet there are among
their number some few species which ane
quite as difficult to grow creditably as any In
the known world.

sersation. The old man was tho girls
father, and he was lamenting recent
financial losses, a misfortune which would
prevent the carrying out Of what
apparently had been cherished plan Of send
ing the daughter to Vassar. This seemed to
nave been his first chance to break tho news
to the pretty girl, who couldn't keep back
he tears, though she tried to b. brave, and In
broken accents assured her companion that
he didn't care anyhow" John McC uIlough,

A BosroN Judge has just decided that
= newspaper man is not in contempt
when he declines to divulge the sources
Of his information in a criminal case to a
Grand Jury before which he is brought.
A reporter for the Boston Globe ferreted
out a murder Of twelve years standing
and refused to give to the Grand Jury
engaged in investigating the matter, the
names Of those who furnished him with
information. He was consequently
hauled up for contempt with the result
before stated. The decision is one of
great interest to the newspaper fraternity.

EXTENDING THE SYSTEM.
Departure of the Fast-Mail Train 70
Omaha-Faety and Figures ts:

Departure of the Fast-Mail Train for
Omaha-Facts and Figures. ~.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE first train on
the western extension of the fast-maiI sys-
tenn left the Union depot for Omaha at
three o'clock this morning. Postmaster
General Gresham, Assistant Postmas-
ter-General Hatton, Colonel w. b.
Thompson, Superintendent of the
Railway Mail Service, and General
Manager Thomas b Potter, of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, began
conference at the Grand Pacific Hotel at
ten o'clock yesterday morning. At five
o'clock the conference closed, and the Di-
vision Superintendent Of the postal service
began wiring their chief clerks to man and
arrange for fast mail to leave Chicago for
Omaha over the Iowa division of the Bur-
lington at three o'clock in the morning.
The train reaching Omaha at 1880 o'clock
in the evening of the day of its departure
from Chicago is continuation of the fast
mail over the Michigan Southern which ar
rives a few minutes before one o'clock in the
morning. The lay-over of two hours is for
the transfer of mail and to give a margin of
time to the Michigan Southern so that the
western connections will be more certain, be-
cause the Burlington will always be able to
leave according to the schedule. 1t will en-
able the Chicago papers to send an early
edition into the Western States on the date
of their publication. The completion of
the new system by the western connection
gives transcontinental fast mail, in
which from nine to twelve hours
time is gained between the principal
distributing points. The actual mileage
under direct service is as follows: New
York to Albany, 142 miles; Boston
to Albany, 201; Albany toBuffalo, 800; Buff
falo to Chicago, $40; Chicago to Omaha,
500. Total from New York, 1, 484 miles;
total from Boston, 1,543 miles. The total
time between Boston and Omaha is forty
four hours, making an average rate, includ-
ing all stops except the Chicago lay-oyer, of
nearly forty miles an hour-the fastest long
run ever attempted. 30
The system of connections which was
placed in the hands of General Manager
Potter, of the Burlington, has been admira-
bly, arranged, and assures constant and rapid
motion to all the mail that is handled. At
GaleSburg connection is made with Bur
lington'S southwestern branch for Kansas
City and Galveston; at Ottumwa for Des
MOines and the territory to the north; at
Charlton for Southern Iowa; at Red Oak
for Nebraska City; at Pacific Junction for
Plattsmouth and Lincoln; at Omaha for
Denver and all of Colorado.
