A Sympathetic Oleander Bush.

A strange story comes from Sterling,
o. Some time ago Miss Anna Leonard
died at her home in that place. During
Miss Leonard's girlhood she was greatly
attached to an oleander bush, the gift OF
friend when she was but 6 years old.
When in bloom the bush was covered
with bright scarlet flowers, and Miss Leo
nard was always patient watcher to see
the flowers bust from the buds. Shortly
before she was taken Ill Miss Leonard
had given away the bush to an intimate
friend. Last December, when the young
lady began to grow worse. the oleandsl
bush began putting forth buds-a strange
thing at that time Of year. The buds
developed as the young lady failed, and
when her death occurred the village OF
Sterling was searched for white flowers
to put in her coffin, but non had been
found. The day the remains were to be
removed to Beuefontaine for intermen:
the budding oleander bush, which its
owner, Mrs. Goodyear, had been patiently
watching for ten weeks to bloom. burst
into flower, and, instead Of the customary
red flowers. the entire bush was covered
with snow-white ones. A bunch of the
white flowers were culled and placed on
Miss Leonard's coffin just as the remains
we're being removed for shipment tc

A Pet Alligator.

Tabler, of Longview, Tex, have a cute
little pet alligator about four feet in
length whose name is jim. Jim knows
his little mistresses, recognizes his name
when called, and submits or enjoys an
unlimited amount or petsing, particularly
enjoyed the scratching of his back, and,
surprisingly, seems to be sensitive to the
scratching through his thicR skin. a dog
excites his anger, and when one intrudes
upon his 'gatorship he issues forth a
musky oder that is disagreeable to any
well regulated human oIfactories. Jim's
winter diet, 80 far as the family can
notice, consists Of mud, and whenever
the welther is mild the gator is permit
ted to wallow in its mudhole, whence it
comes back pufed up until it looks like

drinking and ending a two days thirst.

INTENSIVE GARDENING.
The Trench System of Growing Vegetables
Explained.

AtLake City, Fla, DR.. J. F. Appels
has produced some extremely fine gard.
en- lands by trenching the border of 9
lake; one principal object accomplished
being the elevation of the surface above
overflow. OF the usual method and
object the Times Democrat ssys:
In Europe what is known as the tren-
ching system is practiced for growing
vegetables, and is well adaped on small
farms where space is scarce, and the lar
gest amount must be secured in order to
get as much as possible from the soil.
The Rural Home thus aludes to the
method:
ga farmer in Yolo county, Cal, has
made a great success in growing Vege-
tables by following the system. He digs
trenches about two feet and then fills in
manure one foot, covering it over with
the top soil. His theory is that the
manure so warns the earth that you can
grow vegetables all winter and that ii
draws moisture in the dry season"
We do not believe in this theory that
the benefit is due to the warmth only,
through the warmth and moisture are
increasing by such mode of growing.
The plan is to dig trenches two feet
deep and two feet wide. The trenches
are then filed to within nine inches Of
the top with manure. Over this the top
soil is thrown, and the plants placed
upon the soil. II the subsoil is thrown
back, It must be first mixed with the
manure and a small quantity of lime
sprinkled over it occasionally during the
process, so as to hasten chemical action,
which not only disintegrates and renders
soluble the subsoil, but also causes
chemical action on the subsol by the
manure. The manure being covered
With the top :oil, or mixed with the sub
soil, cannot suffer loss by unison with
lime.
The trenching system requires labor,
but il any one will give It a trial he will
ba Convinced that it pays. The plants
will at no time suffer for want of food.

The following is an extract from the
platform OF the Republican party IN Ohio,
recently in convention.
Section 1. TIE people of Ohio unqual-
i6ed condemn the refusal of the Demo
cratic majority Of the house Of Repre-
seutatives to permit the passage OF the
direct tax refunding bill, passed by the
Republican Senate, which was PROPOSE
ton torepay TO the loyal States, without
interests, the money paid by them at the
beginning of the war to aid in suppressing
the rebellion, and to cancel the unpaid
balance, principal and intrest, due from
Rebel States upon said taxes, and we
denounce as treacherous and cowardly
the surrender Of Northern Democrats in
Congress to a small minority of Ex-
Confederates snd their allies, and the
abandonment Of bill which, if passed,
would have contributed nearly a million
and u half dollars to the relief Of the tax
payers Of Ohio.

March, 1876. First and above all it in
spires sense of profound thskfulness
that there never existed in this country
party or a policy or measure OF
gradual emancipation. We mean OF
course against that purely Southern
slave power which dictated the compro-
misses of the Federal Constitution. ;"
In this, the editor of the Nation could
not have meant that there never existed
in this country policy or measure OF
gradual emancipation, for, as we have
seen, just such policy was adopted
throughout the Northern States-that it
was by Just such measures that the
Northern people rid themselves of the
institutions which they had so large a
hand in imposing upon the South. But
was this statement correct even if limited
by his last sentence, "We mean of course
against the Southern slave power" &c?
Mr.. Lincoln having declared in his
inaugural that the Republican party had
no intention to interfere with the insti-
ton of slavery; and Congress, by a joint
resolution, approved July %, 1861,
having repeated Mr.. Lincoln's deciara-
ton and announced to the South that
the war was only for the preservation of
the Union, and not for the abolition of
slavery; and Congress having actually
passed in March, 1861, by two-thirds
vote proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution that:
ssNo amendment shall be made to the
Constitution which will authorize or
give Congress the power to abolish or
Interfere within any State with the do
mestic institutions thereof, including
that of persons held to labor or service
by the laws of the said State.
Upon the recommendation of Mr.. Lin
coin, made in special message in April,
1852, Congress passed another joint reso-
luton offering pecuniary aid from the
General Government to induce the
States to adopt general aboishment Of
slavery"
Mr.. Lincoln expressed the sentiment
of the North, which enabled him to carry
on the war successfully, when, on 22d
August, 1862, he said:
''My paramount object is to save the
Union, and not to save or destroy slavery.
If could save the Union without free
ing any slave I would do it. If could
save it by freeing all the slaves / would
do it, and if I could do it by freeing
some and leaving others alone, would
also do that.
The slaves in the States at war with
the Federal Government were freed as
military and not as a political measure.
The Federal Government did not free
the slaves in Delaware, Maryland and
Kentucky. The results of the war rem
dered slavery impracticable, but that
was all.
The truth is, the South could st any
time during the war have secured the
Institution Of slavery at the sacrifice Of
the right of secession. That sacrifice she
would not voluntarily make, and she
lost both her sovereignty and her slaves.
She was the unfortunate, innocent, last
holder of a aishonored bill, and the
emitters of it turned upon her and called
to the world to see how they would pun
ish her for holding it.
