full effect to the eye. A subdued COM
bination rather than raw, gaudy, over
wrought one is always kept in mind by
the true gardener. OF the blue lobelia
there are 25, coo plants to be used for
edging the plants in the garden this sea-
son, and aboutthe same amount Of gold
en- feverfew.
The sympathy between the mass and
the border is established by system OF
"reliefs," or alternating edgings that
contrast in color with each other. To
carry out this principle Of bedding Mr..
Doogue has grown some 3c0, 900 dress
plants. he will have the Madagascar
vincas, star shaped, with delicate white
petals and small pink dot in the center.
They flower necessarily throughout the
summer. The cactus family is to be we'll
represented; also are the alternamtheras,
a dwarf plant for foliage, and the agera-
tum, sort of tassel flower, which is
effective for patchwork. Then there is
a good showing of century plants and
rubber trees.
The location of the beds is changed
every year. The style six years ago, be-
fore Mr.. Doogue's administration, was
known as ribbon bedding; now the work
is entirely geometrical, and requires the
direction of one who is an experienced
artist in design as well as practical
horticultur1st.

A Bridegroom's Tribulations.
[From the Lyndon tyt.lunion.l

lEfoiu enc hSuuou NNt.lUuOnJ
Probably the most annoying and i'm
patient journey ever made in Caledonia
County was on Thursday by George
Richardson, in his second trip from
Danville to Upper Waterford. George
had engaged to enter into q copartner-
ship of marriage with Danville young
lady. He left home in Waterford in
good season, and drove to Danville, ex-
pecting to get his certificate, but learned
that the minister required a certificate
from the Waterford town clerk. He
called on his charmer, promised not to
be long absent, and then put the brad
to his horse on his way to Waterford,
fifteen miles distant. Obtainipg his GER
tifcate, he returned in due haste, got
the minister and prepared for the splic-
ing. Before the anxious couple stood
up together, the minister read the certif-
icate, and called Georges attention to
the fact that twas no good because the
town clerk had neglected to sign it. It
was at this point that Georges elo.
quence was brought into full play in
attempting to persuade the divine to
perform the service and wait for the
signature, which certainly would be OBJ
tanned, Neither tears nor eloquence
could prevail, and it was this second
ride to Waterford which we have booked
as probably the most distressing and
impatient ride which ever occurred in
the country. However, George sue
ceeded before midnight in getting his
other half legally attached to him, but
whether the horse which was called in
to service that day will ever be good for
anything again is question.

The Rebels Routed after q Weak Resist
auce-The Village Burned.
SuAKrM, March W.-The British
forces began to advance on Tamanieb at
5 o'clock this morning. Firing opened
at 7:3O and was brisk upon both sides.
The rebels were in larger numbers than
yesterday. The English cavalry and
mounted infantry led and drove the
rebels from the rocks, dispensing them
among the hills. There were no British
casualties, The loss of the rebels is un-
known.
THE NEWS CONFIRMED.
LONDON, March 27.-Gen. Graham
telegraphed this morning that the even
ing and night were cool. The reyeille
was sounded this morning at $3.50, and
as quickly as possible the troops got IN
readiness for the advance on Tamaneb.
The cavalry were in front and the in
fantry followed in echelon of brigade
squares, with guns between the brigades.
A later dispatch says the British adj.
vanced to-day to Tamanieb and burned
the village. The Arabs fled. The
fighting is ended.
The rebels fred on the British troop
ers from the rocks upon the left. The
cavalry dislodged them anG advanced to
within hundred yards of Tamanieb.
AS soon as Gen. Graham came up with
the infantry and guns shells were thrown
among the flying Arabs. On reaching
Tamanieb, the men and horses
made straight for the wells and
slaked their thirst; after brief halt
the cavalry moved out to the right and
left of the village in pursuit of the re-
treating foe. The village forthwith was
burned to the ground. Gen. Graham
will explore the region in the neighbor-
hood of the Wells of Tamanieb, and
then return with his whole force to Sua-
kim. The campaign is OF an end.

fact as to what amateurs could do in flo-

A Bogus Ghost.
(From the Boston Advertiser, !,

There is no end to the folly of the
credulous. Those who have watched
the spread of materializipg spirit
seances in this city during the last year
have had proof enough of this. Last
night Mrs. Bliss, of 80 East Newton
Street began, as usual, by explaining
that this seance was her religion, and
then followed the usual jugglery. A
figure in white appeared, and then
"Little Billy" in dark nautical costume,
and then another figure in white was
very demonstratively affectionate to
some of the sitters. After time one of the
audience grew impatient and threw his
arms about the figure as she danced up
to him, crying, ''Stay, oh, stay!''
The spirit(? ?)struggled. violently in very
fieshly way and half dozen of the per-
sons who were managing the performance
threw themselves upon him and dragged
him back. The spirit( (?)ran back into
the cabinet, followed closely by some of
the observers. Matches were lighted
and blown out by the confederates.
The gas was stopped up, but still more
matches were lighted and another burn
er found. One Of the gentlemen was
collared and dragged out, but he slipped
back into the cabinet. The medium
was then on the floor with a stalwart
friend standing over her. Her shoes
were in the corner and her stocking feet
were visible. Her arms and neck were
entirely bare, but the muslin robe which
she had worn as a ghost was wrapped
around her waist and tucked under her.
Her dark dress she had caught up
and pinned around her shoulders. The
cap and little blue shirt front she had
worn as Chilly" were lying by her, half
hidden, but these and the shoes were
picked up and preserved by the inves-
tigating party. Meantime there was a
regular tussle outside, ending in the
turning of the little party out into the
hall and locking the door. Before they
left the medium had succeeded in get
ting her dress partly on, but was afraid
to rise and show her paraphernalia.
Altogether" says one who was present.
sit was complete expose of plain
bumbug. Doubtless some persons will
deny it. There is no end to fools. But
half dozen or more gentlemen saw the
whole thing, and there can be no doubt
about it,"
