As to Captain Bushnell and General

for the nomination. The people OF this
city will confne their efforts to making the
delegates and other visitors to our city
comfortable and happy and will leave the
convention to make its own nominations
without their interference. But we feel
sure that either the Captain or the General
would make a strong canvass and have a

A st. Louis bachelor sat down to
table in his room to write q letter.
when an immense black spider ad-
vanced toward him upon the table. He
took straw from broom and drew
it gently over the spiders back and
legs for ten minutes, when 1t went
away. The next evening the spider re-
appeared and went through the same
antics with the broom straw, to his
evident pleasure. This was kept up
all the winter, the big spider coming
out regularly every night for frolic

A Baltimore gentleman owned q
Skye terrier which recently proved that
it could feel ashamed OF dishonest
act. At the time in question the gem
tleman was seated at his table. The
little Skye saw outlet near the edge
of the board, and yielded to the temp
tation to steal the meat. The outlet
was slyly seized and taken under the
sofa. The gentleman pretended not to
see the act of theft But the con-
science of the little terrier soon got the
better of its hunger. It brought the
outlet back, laid 1t at the feet of its
master, hung its head in shame and

A queer trial showing how small
boy got his tobacco came up recently
at Aurora, Ohio. The defendants were
all small boys from 10 to l2 years of
age and possessed Of the average
American boys idea of fun. When
the trial proceeded the fact Of the win
dows being broken by the boys was
developed, but the further fact was
shown that Dick Ray, the grandson of
Mrs. Hill and of about the same age as
the other boys, had fondness for
chewing tobacco, and had proposed to
the defendants that if they would ac,
commodate him with chew of tobacco
he would grant them the privilege of
throwing twenty-five times at the glass
in his grandmother's window. The
boys accepted the proposal and fur
nished the young hopeful with his
wished for tobacco, and then began the
fusilade of stones on the old woman's S
windows while the grandson stood by
counting the throws and chewing his
tobacco with satisfied air. So accu-
rate was the aim of the young sports
that twenty-one panes of glass were
broken in the twenty-five throws.

Ivy Against the Walls Of Dwellings

We have frequently heard it main
tanned that it is injurious and unwise
to permit ivy to cover the walls Of
dwelling houses, as it must necessarily
occasion All internal damp, prejudicial
to human health and comfort, by ar
resting the rain and conducting it into
the crevices of the walls, OBTAINING it
there until it oozes through and occa-
sions such injurious dampness as it
must be most desirable to prevent, even
at the expense OF sacrificing such an
ornamental covering as luxuriant and
evergreen or variegated ivy. Now ex-
perience and reason testify to the very
opposite of this, and they are found
boldly asserting that no covering what
ever is better calculated or more pow
erfully and uniformly tends to effect
the desirable object of keeping the
walls of house dry, both internally
and externally. than general coat Of
ivy on the outside. Let any one ex-
anime any Uncovered wall, and they
will discover the leaves hang down, one
over another. from the highest point to
which the plant attains to the ground.
forming an ornamental shield that casts
off the rain and prevents its beating
against the wall, conveying it from
leaf to leaf downward, preventing its
ever coming in contact with or moist
ening the walls; while the clinging ma
ture of the plant, intended for the pur-
pose of adhesion, thrusts its shoots in
to the crevices as roots and claspers,
according as it ascends and acts as so
many sucking engines, extracting and
drawing away for the nourishment OF
its own luxuriance whatever moisture
the walls may be supposed to attract
or imbbe from the atmosphere. No
walls are dryer, or so dry, as those to
which ivy forms permanent external
covering. Inside the shoots and next
the wall will be found, in addition, a
coating of dry dust and cobwebs, keep
ing the walls perfectly dry in the wet
test of weather, and that, too, on
aspects mostly exposed to the rain and
least to the cheering smiles Of the sun.
Depend upon it, ivy clinging against a
wall is a protector from d mp. not a
cause of it. Let our readers plant ivy
against their dwellings without any
fear Of inconvenient results. 1t is q
warmth-giving agent also, as many can
testify. The old prejudice against the
employment of ivy as an external COW
ering to buildings is rapidly dying out,
and will at no distant date cease to be
put forward as worthy Of attention.
