upon this truly Hercuiean task. The

culates rather more then twenty thous-
and. nets him about $45. 900, some
years $50, 900 per annum. Mr.. Labou-
chere has always been in society; con-
sequently he says what he pleases
about it, and lodges in and out of it to
suit his own convenience. He is q well
come visitor at Marlborough house, and
picks up his sprightly paragraphs from
authentic sources. He has been about
everywhere and has seen almost every
thing; consequently he is an ugly par
ty to handle in fight. He has the
facts which might be very unpleasant
for his antagonist all sorted out and
pigeon-holed, and could use them with
consummate skill. He attacks shams
of all kinds with delight and with We
hemence. Nothing pleases him more
than to take the sawdust out of some
dolly which has been looked up to as
an idol. He is an exquisite theatrical
critic, and INDUCES in none of the weak
bosh which some of the London critics
affect. He is not merciless for poor &C

very frank advice. He made a study
of the city market for years, and under
the head of '.Mammon" in his journal
he pricks a goodly number of fnan-

ed that one of the head sachems, who
had lived on the Walker river reserva-
ton for years, was s. white man. How
the discovery was made is not stated.
The Indians were so worked up over
the discovery that the renegade, fearing
for his life. came to town. Upon being
interviewed by reporter, he said he
was a native of Massachusetts and for
ty-seven years old. He became en-
tangled in scrape when he was eigh-
teen years old, and, running away
from home, followed the sea for two
years. Arriving at San Francisco he
joined the rush to the mines. After a
pretty rough experience going from

that although he sometimes longed for
news from the Bay state, he was per-
fectly content to remain where he was,
as he found the roaming, independent
life of the Piutes just the thing for a
man tired of the busy scenes of civiliza-
ton. Now that he has the paint wash

have kept himself from his race so
many years. He will probably return
to the home of his youth in few days.

Flowers in Paris.

"Where do all the white lilacs come
from?" / asked the nice old woman at
the Madeleine flower market who has
the contract to keep my vases filed
throughout the winter. Il suppose
you receive them from Nice or some
other southern point"
mot at all, monsieur" was her re-
ply. ''All these pretty flowers grow
inside of Paris, where certain garden
ers make 3 specially of having lilacs in
bloom all the year round. The trade
is new one, as it is only four years
ago that the way of doing so was dis
covered. The heat of the sun is re-
the plant, deceived by this fictitious
temperature, blossoms forth in Decem-
Der just as though il was the month OF
May"
Then 1 learned that the gardeners
who devote themselves to this branch
of the trade are called cbauf5urs de HAS
(warmers of lilacs), and that there are
only five of them in Paris, two at Mon
trogue and the others in the Quarter
St. Fargeau. 1t is generally the Marty
lilacs that are made use of. The plants
are subjected to temperature of 40
degrees centigrade day and night and
in fortnight are in flower, but strange
to say, the plant will only give white
flowers under this process. Naturally
they are of a ricn purple color. The
Persian lilac is the only one that does
not lose its color when thus forced to
go contrary TO the laws of nature.
| Another strange fact is that the hot
house lilacs are handsomer and more
fragrant than those which bloom in the
deners are careful to destroy all the
leaf buds, so that the whole sap Of the
plant flows to the flower buds.
The plants do not die from the vio-
lence of the process, but they are so
seriously damaged that it takes them
years to regain their strength that they
| have lost-years which must of course
| be spent in the open air and in ordin-
airy soil-but their flowers are forever
after white, the coloring principle
seemingly having been destroyed for
ever. In point of fact, however, the
] chaufeurS de hlaS do not take the trou-
/ BILE to replant the poor bushes that have
suffered SO much. Three years is far
too long to wait for profitable return,
so the plants when stripped of their
flowers, are rooted up and cast to one
side, and when dry are made use of as
kindling wood. The five chaufeurS de
lilaS in Paris consume in this way some
thing like 5000 plants a year, which
cost them one franc each at the nursery
gardens. The flowers they produce
yield them 1000, 600 francs. One-half
of the crop goes to foreign countries
and the other half is sold here at the
central markets, where the small deal
ers lay in their stock every day.-PariS

1t has often been said that nothing

hardly understand how absolute said
rule is here, we can hardly expect the

One night not long ago the daughter

The nitro-glycerine bomb is recent
addition to destructive proiectiles, it's
serviceableness in reducing entrench-
ments being, tits claimed, unequalled.
In its construction a heavy conical
shell is first cast, and SO arranged that
one end is much heavier than the other,
one end being closed with a tightly
fitting cap, screwed on after charging.
The interior of the shell is divided into
three compartments, each separated
by heavy plate-glass cap; the divis-
ion furthest from the open end is filled
with sulphuric acid, and the next with
glycerine, and the outer one with nit
ric acid-these three elements being
the component parts of nitro-glycerine.
A small opening through the center of
the cap fitting the open end of the
projectile admits. steel rod, to each
end of which is firmly attached a small
circular piece of metal, the inner end
resting against the first glass cap; the
outer cap is then screwed on; and the
projectile is ready for service. Accord
ing to the principle of gravitation, the
heavy end naturally strikes the ground
first, the steel rod is driven through
the plate-glass partitions, the chem
icals are mingled, and a nitro-glycerine
discharge takes place.
