 THOMAS W. KEENE.

A few lovers of the legitimate drama bray ed the storm to witness the production of ''Richard IT," by Mir Thomas w. Keene and his company at the Hyperion theater last evening. The performance was not as satis- factory as it might have been, and although the audience was at times interested it was at no time enthusiastic. It was like 8 play at the Bowery theater in which there is as much ranting as acting. Mir. Keene is an old actor but not great one. Some of his work last evening was very creditable, but he is too much given to shouting his lines and in his elocution he was both faulty and careless. Such acting does not meet with the approval of our theater-goers and MT. Keene has failed to establish his reputation here as first rate Shakespearean artist. The company with the exception of MT. Eugene Moore, who made very acceptable Duke of Buckingham does not deserve special mention. There was no special scenery, but the costumes, banners and armor were appropriate and were per~ hapsss the best features of the play. This evening the same company will present "Julius Cassr," MT. Keene assuming the character of Marc Antony.
 LEGAL WRECK.
 This finely wrought drama will be pre- scented at the Hyperion next Friday. It is is one of Mir. Gillette's great hits and is pre- sented by one of those matohless companies which handle this dramatist's pieces so ad- mirably.
 SID c. FRANCE.
 The appearance of Sid 0. France in 'The James Boys" at the Grand last night was welcomed by many admirers of the wild western drama and well they were repaid by witnessing the excellent production. The company is a we'll balanced one and presents the piece with much ease. Frank Woodson was especially popular with his audience.

Flowers always add to the attractive

indispensable. think l speak the mind
of many housekeeper in the rural dis

wears off, it requires something of an

the pots and pans, she has little Of either
left, however much she may deplore the
fact, to spend on nhouse-decoration or the
adornment OF her own person (and this
should certainly not be entirely neglected).
These are wants that give much of the

ranged are far prettier than the gaudy
ornaments so often seen. They are nat

here, that a little manly aid given at the
right time is worth great deal to the
"helpmeet." A half hour spent in dig

better results than she could accomplish
in half day in the same direction. She
may plan, but it takes some strength OF
body to execute all that should be done
in the cultivation of flowers.

not an Amaryllis, but is Lilium Catesbai
the only true lily that is native of this
State. We copy the following concerning
it, written by one living near it's native
haunts:
''This is also most commonly
found in the moist soil of the fatwoods,
but does grow occasionally on the dry
knolls which are common throughout the
flatwoods country. On these knolls the
bulbs are always larger and finer. 1t is
remarkable for the fact that, though the
bulbs are always quite small, the bios
SONS are very large. The largest bulb
that / have ever found was not larger
than an English walnut while the aver
age size of blooming bulbs would not ex-
ceed that of a hickory nut, and many
bulbs not larger than filbert will be
found bearing fine large blossom from
three to four inches long, and nearly as
broad. The flowers grow upright at the
top OF a stem from one to two feet high.
The color is bright scarlet, varicgated
with yellow and purple"
We feel sure it may besuccessfully trans
planted, as it is grown in choice collec-
tions of lilies at the North, and we have
read of it's blooming in England. A large
clump of the earth containing the bulb
could be easily transferred to the'garden.
No lovelier flower blooms than the fra
grant water lily, and it should have a
place in every body OF water, whether
ceSsfully grown in a tub of water, and no
amount of pains should be considered
too dear in payment for it's exquisite
blooms The flowers are usually pearly
white, but occasionally they are found
tinted more Or less deeply with pink, and
there is one permanent pink variety which
is a great acquisition. We grew and
bloomed it last year, andfoun it worthy
of all the praise bestowed upon it. This
State can lay claim to a genuine yellow
water lily (Nymph@a fara) not found in
any other part of the world.
The American Lotus, Nelumbo or water
chinquepin (Nelumbium luteum). one of
the grandest acquatics imaginable, is oc-
casionally met with in some of our lakes
and rivers. A large patch of it produces
a truly tropical effect. W. N. P.

TO A PINK POND LILY

What strange new Joy has touched thy heart of
gold?
Tinging thy petals with rosy light?
Causing thy waxen leaves as they unfold
With ecstasy to blush away their white.
Art flushed with thine own loveliness or shy
With wondering DER they new bornrosy bloom?
Hast thou found happiness, or dost thou sigh
At thy increase OF beauty and perfume?
Was it the rapturous dawning Of love
That warmed thy tint to such radiant glow,
Bringing message from the world above
To add new beauty to the world below?
THE LILY'S ANSWER.
Would you find out my secret fair lady?
Would you know why blush rosy red?
'Tis because when the dark night has left me,
And lift up my pale, drowsy head,
Then the Prince of the Dawn comes to kiss me,
And that's why blush rosy red.

Native Plants Worthy Of Cultivation.
NUMBER v.


Mrs Mills wishes to know if the wild
white lily that springs up after the woods
have been burned overcan be successfully
transplanted. The plant is popularly
known as Fairy Lily, and is, botanically,
ZephyPanthes Treatia. 1t is one of the
loveliest and sweetest little flowers imag-
Unable, and is as easily transplanted as
any plant we know of. We recently saw,
in a friends yard, a bed of them in full
bloom, which had been transplanted from
their native haunts two years ago They
did not bloom the next season after
transplanting, but this, the second year,
they have fully redeemed themselves.
They we're dug while in full bloom, and,
indeed, that is the only time they can be
found in any quantities Uncertain classes
of pine woods they spring up i'll few
days after the fire haspassed in countless
thousands, and only those who have seen
their snowy chalices cleaning among the
charred and blackened surroundings can
imagine the effect produced.
Crinum Americanum, found in wet,
swampy places along the edges of run
ming streams, or even in the running
water, is beautiful native plant, and
well worthy of place in our yards, for,
although growing naturally in very
moist, rich soil, it seems content with and
fourishes in the dry, sandy soil of the
pine woods. And under cultivation it
improves rapidly, blooming two or three
times year and producing more flowers
in an umble The bulbs have long
neck, which holds the strap-shaped,
evergreen leaves we'll above the ground.
The flower stalks are tall, holding the
beautiful, large white flowers we'll above
the foliage.
There are also several native species of
Hymenoca1lis (Pancratium) which bear
beautiful flowers, and are improved by
cultivation. III. caribaeum is met with in
many yards under the common name of
Spider Lily. The bulbs are large and
coated with brown or black, and each
flower spike carries from fifteen to twelity-
FIVE airy, white and fragrant blooms.
H. rotata is a beautiful species found in
the same localities as the Crinum. But in
the wild state it's bulbs are small and the
flower spikes carry but from three to six
flowers; when cultivated the bulbs attain
large size, and the flower spikes fre-
quently carry as many as a dozen of it's
exquisite white blooms
All of the abovebelong to the Amaryllis
family, and arefully as beautiful as many
of the high-priced varietiescatalogued by
florists.

When we feel almost exhausted with
our mornings duties, how the sweet feat
ures of flowers cheer heart and eye. if we
but pluck up energy enough to go forth
into the half charred lots, the woods or
even along the roadside to gather them.
The beautiful large purple violets, now
SO beautiful, mingled with few ferns in a
vase, make a lovely ornament for any
table. There is wild plant growing on
moist soil, the pellate leaves resembling
those OF the water lily, though smaller;
can find no blossom. When arranged in
a fat glass with a few roses, they are
quite effective, and possess an advantage
over ferns in keeping fresh several days.

Here is a query from letter to the f.
j., headed Dover, Minnesota, Feb. 25th,
1880. 81 have two boys, ages four and ten
years, who have a great taste for whisky,
rum, etc. How should I manage them?
Give it to them and get them drunk or
punish them for drinking it? Their
parents are strictly temperate, never using
liquors only for medicine, and this very
seldom; but the other day | brought home
dimes worth Of rum to make their moth
err a sling for cold; she set the bottle in
the cupboard and they found il and drank
it, little at time, till it was gone, and it
did not last long. Please let's hear from
some of the older heads of the +. J. |

grow on them, or result in the general bad
effects of Intoxicating liquors"
In consequence of the great age Of my
head this letter was forwarded to me to
answer. In the absence of the Head of the
Sidneys handed it over to my daughter,
young chip of the aforesaid block, for
her to read. She remarked as she laid it
down, 81 guess that family wants too much
medicine | think she shit the nail

that has no reputation for hammering any

Come, now, let US reason together, what
would these children, only four and ten
years old, know about the taste of whisky
and rum if they had not acquired it through
the agency Of older people? 1t is the way
of the world to place temptation before the
weak and then punish them for yielding to
it. What right has man with little chill

for bad cold? If he can't cure his wife

To detect counterfeit bill on careful

important looking young man, with lady

looking over the book Saturday. They
were evidently a bridal party, and as they
conversed learned that the groom was

pronouncable name out in Wisconsin. Yes,
Harry would tell us all about it, would
tell us the good counterfets from the bad,
