make about forty. How many are used

The gardens of Economy are one of its

of old fashioned flowers and plants, they
are very un-American. One feels that

Every inch of ground is cultivated. Such
flowers and fruits are seldom seen. There
are golden ounces hanging over the

WAsuINGroN, Aug. 81, 1883.
The President, Mrs Gle, elaud,
all the members of the Cabinet
in the City, together with most
Of the men of prominence at tho
Capitol, attended the funeral
services over the remains of
General Sheridan On Saturday
the l1th. Cardinal Gibbons
presided over the ilnpressige
ceremonies. The dead general
was buried at Arlington cen Ae-
terry amidst thousands of his for

respect to his memory, Congress
adjourned over from Friday until
Aug. 18th, and all the Govern.
ment departments were closed on
the following Saturday.
Now that Mr.. Blaine has arriv-
ed, 1t is to be hoped that the

The democratic Senators will
not lilibuster TO prevent the re-

Senator Morgan, in answer Ia
a bombastic statement made by
MIR. Blair, in relation to the
fisheries treaty and Canadian
matters, defined the position Of the
democratic party on this ques-
tion very clearly. He said he did
not want war. He knew what
war meant. He had seen enough
of it, and knew that if war came

States, 1t would mean the killing
of q great many people. The

He also reminded the republican,
of the fact that Mr.. CIeyelanC
