standards, little nature in the antheni-
ons and rosettes from tho buildings on
the Athenian ecropols. and as little on
the viue-scrolIs on Greek vases, which
might be intended for ivy, or for grape

"If we would or could work in the

Of the heirlooms OF our race, might not
be kept always fresh and living. II we
would change only ON occasion, and
with strict reference to the occasion, we
would always find in nature what we

Of broader or longer, or sparser or more

Seed Growing.

Woodland Mail: The business of
raising seeds for all kinds of garden
vegetables is large and very profitable
one. How large it is may be judged
from the fact that three seed-men in the
United States pay $4,000 in postage
on seed packages in year. 1t is ex
ceedingly profitable, yielding hundreds
and even thousands of dollars in some
instances, per acre, as a return for the
labor expended. There is no better
climate for the preservation of seeds
than here in the Sacramento valley. The
soil is eminently adapted to the purpose,
and there is an unlimited demand for
garden seeds of all kinds. Little capital
is required, and anybody with few
acres, and energy and enterprise, could
soon establish business reputation,
and save thousands of dollars here at
home that now annually go over the
mountains, never to come back.

Buffers story About Blaine.

General Butler tells good story
about the promising character of Mr..
Blaine. Blaine needed Buffers assist
ance to be made Speaker on a certain
occasion. He promised Butler the
chairmanship of the appropriation com.
mittee and 50 the General supported hm
in the caucus. General Butler is not u
distrustful man; the understanding was
clear, Blaine's promise positivs aud he
waited without uneasiness for the an
nouncement of the committees. This
was delayed some days after the Speak.
ers election, as is usual. and on the day
when ii was to be made friend of Cen
eral Butler whispered to him that Mr..
Speaker Blaine intended to give the
Craftsmanship to aaother man.
The information was 80 positive that
the General became uneasy aud deter.
mined to see Speaker Blaine before the
House should meet to hear the commit.
tees announced. After some search he
discovered that Mr. Blaine WIS in the
committee room. He went to the door,
but was repulsed by the door-keepcr,
who told him that entrance was posi-
lively forbidden, MS Speaker Blaine was
very busy. General Butler, however,
determined not to be outwitted by
Blaine. He got look through the
door and he saw Blaine actually sitting
at the table, and he determined to wait
ut the door and seize him, az he must
necessarily come out to open the session
of the House at noon.
AT quarter before twelve Mr.. Speak
er Blaine had not yet appeared; but
General Butler waited at the door, sure
of his man. At five minutes before
twelve Mr.. Blaine had not yet appeared,
but as the room had only one door and
General Butler stood at that the case
seemed to him safe.
Finally, at fifteen minutes after noon
the General demanded once more leave
to enter the room. The doorkeeper said,
Certainly" and flung open the door.
General Butler walked in and found the
room empty.
"Where's Speaker Blaine?' he de.
mauded gruiily. "lie'a in the House, |
suppose, was the reply. The General
hurried into the House and arrived just
in time to hear another mans name read
out for the craftsmanship Which Speaker
Blaine had promised him.
On investigation he discovered tina
the promising Speaker Blaine, knowing
that Butler was waiting for him at the
door, had climbed out of window of
the committee room, clambered along
ledge of stonework to the window of an.
other room and out Of that had sneaked
into the House and into the Speakers
chair.
1t is not long since General Butler
told this story to some friends. He ad-
mitted that "Blaine is very cunning
fellow" and a first-elass promiser-in
fact, very magnetic man; but he thought
it was not always safe to trust. him.
