HYBRID Roses.

From the Nelc York Herald
Hybrid perpetual roses bloom mostly
upon shoots that grow from the old
wood; that is, cane of M or more
years growth. The best blooms are
found upon the canes which start from
near the root the previous season.
Therefore, it is best every spring to
cut out all canes which have bloomed
one season. AS you value good roses
and a quantity of them, do not fail to
do this. To increase the quantity and
richness of bloom with hybrid perpetu-
ais practice what is called 'pegging
down" That is to bend 1.-THE canes that
have been left after pruning nearly
to the ground. The outermost ones
NAV be within six inches of the sur
face and the others a little higher.
This horizontal position of the canes
somewhat retards the flow of the sap
as it returns to the roots, and more OF
ii is used in forming buds and flow
ers. Ii you prefer to grow your roses
upright, do not fail to cut back the
canes about one-half. Ii you wish to
have seed for new varieties, it is we'll
not to have the soil too rich, else, &C
cording to my experience, you will get
fewer seeds and not the best roses. All
the roses should be where they will
have plenty of sunlight, and yet be
protected from high winds.

The A1l-Kind mother.

Lo, whatever is at hand
Is full meet for the demand;
Nature oftimes giveth best
When she seemeth chariest.
She hath shapen shower and sun
To the need Of every one
Summer bland and winter drear,
Dimpled pool and frozen mere.
All thou lackest she hath still,
Near thy finding and thy fill.
Yield her fullest faith, and she
viii endow thee royalty.
: Loveless weed and lily fair
She attendeth here and there
Kindly to the weed as to
The lorn lily feared with dew.
Each to her hath use as dear
AS the other; an thou clear
Thy cloyed senses thou may'st see
HAPPY all the mystery.
Thou shalt see the lily get
Its divinest blossom; yet
Shall the weeds tip bloom no less
With the song birds ~gleefulnesS.
Thou art poor or thou art rich
Never lightest matter which,
All the glad gold of the noon,
All the silver of the moon,
She doth lavish on thee, while
Thou withholdest any smile
OF thy gratitude to her,
Baser used than usurer.
Shame be on thee an thou seek
Not her pardon, with hot cheek,
And bowed head, and trimming eyes,
At her merciful ..Arisei''

WE are afraid that in his anxious

in telling u reporter yesterday the
story of the election of a drunken in

the affair was very much tanner

COUNCILMAN WINGEs, of Hoboken,
referring to we know not what re-
ports of his divorce proceedings
against his wife, takes the trouble to
say that his wife has informed him
that she never said he had abused or
starved her. He says he makes her a
regular allowance, and that she will
not contest his suit.
THE JERSEY CITY News was, as
usual, right on this point in its recent
admirable stories, wherein it speci-
fcally announced that he was making
an allowance to her. The liberality
of the allowance could easily be judged
from the surroundings of the dis
carded woman's home, as described by
the reporter who visited her. As to
her Discrimination to contest his di-
vorce proceedings, that may be APPOINT
for him and may not. The Court may
suspect that the allowance may have
something to do with that and base a
refusal of the decree he prays for on
the suspicion that there is collision
between the two.
And then what do the four CO
respondents propose to do about it?
Do they propose to let the case go by
default?

even when it is backed by six OF his
friends, as the Minnesota law pro-
vides2 Isn't it rather too serious a
matter? AT the present stage OF de-
velopment attained by the machinery
of death it requires a post mortem ex-
animation, anyway, to show what the
victim died of. When the eXectioner
springs the traps, he has a reasonable
confidence that the condemned VIII
not long survive the operation, but
whether he will die in two seconds
of a broken neck or strangle in the
slow course of several minutes de-
ponds largely upon his luck. Certain
finical persons have objected to this
painful uncertainty, and others have
said that it was so painful that they
didn't want to know anything about
it. Such persons have a very small re-
gard for their own personal RESPONSE
bility for the sufferings of every
human being barbarously dealt with
by the officers of the law. The de-
tails are shocking, of course, and are
often unduly elaborated by sensa-
tional papers, but we venture TO say
that any person disguised by the
reading of such a report would have
been much more disguised if he had
witnessed the execution, although in
that case nothing but the simple facts
would have been before him. The
trouble is that people know too little
about the treatment of criminals, not
too much. They do not honor correct
reports of such matters with the Gre
dence they deserve. 1t would be a
great deal worse if reports were cut
off. From executions to prison affairs
in general would be buta step, though
a disastrous one for civilization.
No, no; don't let such legislation
spread any further. We don't want
it in New Jersey for instance. Let the
people know about all these matters,
and if they don't like what occurs let
them stop it.

In truth these appointments are
somewhat scandalous unless the two
gentlemen named intend to resign

Mr.. Benson is the City Edi-
tor of that sheet; Mr.. German
is it's leading local reporter. In
the natural course of business it would
be Mr. Germans province to report all
the proceedings of the Finance Board

determination of the editorial treat
ment of the doings of the city officials.

order to indicate how subversive OF
anything like honest journalism this
office holding business is.

Skating is one of the best of sports.

they constitute tho chief dangers IN
