We have q very great variety Of orna-
mental shrubs in our New England grounds,
and few parts of the earth allow Of q
greater range Of material in this important
item of our modern needs than our climatic
conditions here do. No one Of the temper
ate countries ofEurope can show better re-
suits, in this way, than are seen in the
suburbs of Boston, except, perhaps, Eng
land, and that is almost wholly on account
Of the bad habit we have, As community
and as section, of usipg 90 email pro-
portion Of evergreen shrubs in our grounds.
Ninety Ave per cent. Of all the trees and
.hrubs in our plantations are deciduous sorts,
which are bare about half the year. Eng
lish gardens are fully one-half made up Of
evergreen trees and plants, which keep up
the semblance of summer all the year.
This is our national fault in decorating
our private and public grounds.
We plant for the summer only, while our
cousins over the sea plant for the whole
year. Some will reply to me that we have
few evergreen shrubs ut for our climate, or
broad leaved eveIgreens, such as rhododen.
drons. laarels, etc. l reply to all such
that we have the finest ones in existence
growing wild in quantities. and we have
overlooked them for 90 much Of our national
existence almost wholly, while Europeans
have always used them with lavish hand.
and our own native broad lesved evergreen
shrubs, the lack of which leaves our lawns
so barren looking all winter, are the very
plants that makes England's gardens so
rich and constantly green. Two species of
RI odOdendrons, of absolute hardness
and superb beauty, three of kslmiar, one
of them our. lovely mountain laurel, two
native hollies, are all everereens, and
should be found 10 thousands in the gardens
Of New England. OF these seven species.
the first two and the mountain laurel are
the best, AMI would serve all necessary pur-
poses, and their free and general use
would so metamorphose our strawberries,
now lesfiess so long, that one would soon
fancy himself in the green strawberries of
the mother land Why do we not appre-
clate our own unequaled native shrubs :
Why should we cross an ocean to see places
made famous by beauties derived from
generous use of American plants which
grow wild and unconsidered here at home
The sensible man who should plant his
spaciou. grounds with these charming ma
tive shrubs in really liberal way would
not only have in time the finest grounds to
show, but be public benefsctor and edu-
cator.-F. l.. TEMPLE. IN Boston Journal.

The Ohio SenatoIship.

mo doubt Col. Brice was liberal In
his contributions, says the New Age In
referring to she Ohio Campaign. We
arr glad to see our contemporary make
this frank admission. Under the cir
cumstances 1t IL about the best possible
course that 1t could pursue. The Age
talks vaguely about ''counteracting Re-
publican money, etc. but this is natural,
1t Is simply the old method Of
abusing the other fellow" which
has been followed. from time immemo-
rial, by advocates with weak cases. OF
course the Age must say something.
Party allegiance must be maintained.
The shafts Of those who question its
possession of the genuine Jscksoniau
brand Of Democracy must be turned
aside. Our contemporary has endeavored
to steer between Seylla and Chary bdis,
aud has nearly succeeded in doing So
1t could not well have said less, nor,
with safety, said more. II cites an in
etauce. given by one Of its lead
Ing party organs, where Brice and Thou
- gave two members ~ 900 $40 assist In
their election" with the understanding
that they were to vote for Brice aud
Thomas in case they pulled through.
That Is, the aspiring candidates had paid
for these men in cold cash aud supposed
that they owned them. After the cleo
tion, the Age goes on 10 say, these men
conferred together and concluded that
they could not, consistently with their
oath OF office. vote as they had
promised" i. q. deliver the goods

Mr.. Thomas and asked to be released
from hi, promise. 4 hold you to your
promise said Mr. Thomas. or YOU must
return the 81 ,0oo's c the money paid for
you" The other" continues the Age,
went to Col. Brice and asked to be re
leased" whereupou Col. Br'ce absolved
him from all obligations and did not even
ask for the return of the 81 900 he had
paid for him. The Age Instances this
episode in all seriousness as showing the
high minded integrity and answering
honor Of Col. Briee. Ii feels constrained
to add, however, by way of parenthesls.
the statement Of the New York World
that by this shrewd stroke Col. Brice
"saved the vote he had the mortgage on
and gained the Thomas vote as weil!"
The Age follows this interesting little
anecdote by the solemn declaration that
mot one particle of evidence is produced
to show that he [Col, Briee> used dol
lar to obtain the vote Of member after
election" From this It would appear
to be the opinion of the Age that
Mr.. Brice was forehanded in securing
his retainers.
It must be, however, that our contem-
porary had not read the latest develop
ments In this matter when its editorial
vas written. 1t could not surely have
seen the following statement, made bv
