A Sharp Thrust.

Mr.. Laurence Oliphant, in his
Episodes In a Life of Adventure, .
describes a visit which he made to
She United States as secretary to
Lord Elgin. in 1854. The company
arrived in Washington at a time OF
great political excitement, the cele-
5rated Nebraska BIZ, for the extern
sion ofslavery, beingjust then before
Congress.
After a hurried meal we went to the
zapitoI to see the vote taken. The
Dill was passed amid great euthusi-
asm, a hundred guns being fired in
celebration Of an event which, by
those endowed with foresight, could
not be called suspicious.
I remember meeting a certain Sena-
5Or ToOmbs d few nights afterwards,
at a large dinner given by one Of the
most prominent members Of Congress
n Lord Elgin's honor. 1t was a
grand banquet, atWhich all the guests
we're men. with the exception of the
wife Of our host. He himself belonged
20 the Republican, or as it was
chen more generally called, the Wing
party. Notwithstanding the diver
yence Of political opinion among
hose present, the merits of the all
absorbing measure were being dis
:ussed freely.
Senator TOOmbs, a violent Demo
rat, was a large, pOmpOus man, with
tendency, not uncommon among
American politicians, to "Crate"
-ather than to converse in society.
He waited for a pause in the discus
sion, and then, addressing Lord Elg.In
u stentOrian tones, remarked, aprO-
Jos of the engTOssing topic:

,elume the torch OF liberty upon the

accents Imaginable, said:

WHY England IS SAFE.

Lord George Hamilton commune
Gated to the public through the
House of Lords a discovery that has
greatly quieted the nerves of Eng
land. This is that the landing of an
army of 100000 men has never been
attempted in England, and that an
army of that size, with all its para
phernalia, would involve so much
preparation in the way Oftransports,
etc, that England could not help
finding it out In time to make ready
to refit four times that force, either
by land or water. Moreover, that
the transportation Of 10000 men
IS a feat never accomplished over a
body of water as wide as the English
Channel.
Lord Georges discovery seemed Sc
simple that the only wonder about it
was that it did not occur to every
body at the start. No sooner was
this soothing assurance advanced,
however, than leading soldiers at
home and on the Continent have been
questioned, whose verdict seems to
agree that past presidents cannot
settle the question OF landing troops
to-day. with all modern facilities FOR
transportation. and now the nerves
Of England are probably in q worse
condition shan before.

A Point in Celery Culture.

Celery of any kind. whether self blanch-
ing or not, is much more crisp and tender
if banked with earth. A good way of
preventing the earth from sitting in
among the stalks, says a correspondent
in Garden and Forest, is to wrap each
plant in a strip of butchers paper, say
from eight to ten inches wide. With a
garden trowel earth enough to hold the
papers in place can be easily managed;
then the plants should be hilled up almost
to the top of the papers. This plan is
recommended for early celery, and is not
much more extra work than the tying up
practiced by gardeners. Care must be
taken to hold the plants erect while put.
ting on the papers.
