A MONSTER EVERGREEN URsERY.-The
annual catalogue of the Evergreen Muir
series, of Evergreen, Wis, has been issued
and this office has been favored with a
copy. They now list fully three hundred
varieties of coniferous evergreens. Some
of them are very strange and unique in
form and habit of growth. They have
been to great pains and expense to secure
seeds and plants of evergreens found
native in all parts of the earth. If a
man wants evergreens cheap but good.
for screens, groves, wind-breaks, or
hedges, there is no better place to go in
America. If a man is fond of themarvel-
Gus, strange, and curious forms in mature,
there is no other place in this country
where his fancy can be so satisfied with
rare and beautiful evergreens.
These nurseries are growing the plants
in immense numbers, planting the seeds
by the ton. They imported from one
seed house in Germany last season $500
pounds, besides all they gathered in this
country, getting large quantities from
Colorado, California, Washington, and
all the Western states and territories. 1t
is well worth any mans while to send
for their lists.

At the Association hall on Sunday
afternoon Rev. F. D. Buckley used
the recent destruction of Hotel Roy
al at New York by fire to draw some
practical lessons on the uncertainty
OF human life and the certainty that
ones sin will find him out. One
huedred and sixty-two young men
and boys were present and listened
attentively to the earnest words of
the speaker as he emphasized these
important truths and sought to di-
rect the thoughts of his hearers to
the safeguards of a Christian life.

A BRILLIANT A URORA.

The caucus was not the only at
traction in town on Saturday night.
There was also a beautiful display of
Northern Lights at that time, which
was a source of delight to all who
noted the phenomenon. The north
west sky was for a long time brilliant
ly illuminated by what the "authori-
ties" tell us is caused by a strong
electric current passing through
attenuated air.
The exhibition was visible in diff
ferent parts of the country, and the
New Workers were awe-struck by it.
This is what the Press of that city
said about it on Monday: From
the western horizon the lights climb
ed until they almost stretched up to
the zenith. In breadth the brilliant
picture extended from the northern
to the southern heavens. The skies
were a sea of flame, and it seemed
that an entire city must be on fire
somewhere to the westward, and
that the flames were hosting their
dire signal. The deepening colors
and their constant change from
brown to violet and from violet to
white, purple and blue, and back
again to a pale ashen hue, soon
revealed to every one that they were
looking upon a grand exhibition of
the aurora borealis."

MOTHER GOOSE HoNoRED.

If that benign old favorite of the
children, Mother Goose, could have
been present at the North church
parlors last Thursday evening, she
would have taken a pardonable pride
in the interpretations there given
of several of her popular melodies;
while the shouts of the youngsters on
the front row and the evident pleasure
of the older people with young hearts
would have made her smile. The
pantomimes were nicely arranged
and we'll presented. That disastrous
trip to London after a wife, the
frightening of Little Miss Muffett,
the dilemma of Tommy Tucker, the
domestic unhappiness of Jack Sprat
and his wife, the lucky find of Jack
Horner, the experiences of Simple
Simon as a pie buyer and a fisher
man, and other scenes, proved
entirely satisfactory, Mrs. P. F.
Hazen singing the melodies as the
pantomimes were given. Prior to
the entertainment the ladies served
supper, of which many partook.

Tho conviction of G.. w. Delamater
In Pennsylvania a day or two back OF
| en,l. rsl.nmnt - striking "n'i rather
sbocline event. Delamater has been
STATE senator am was the Rco1biica"
nominee for Governor of the State IN
1870. He WAS defeated by the present
Governor. Pattison. He was the head OF
n large banking house and was prose
cuted for embezzling the money OF MS
lcnositors. The event loses some Oh its
d;sbcartening elements when its true
nature is considered He was not pros
ecnted for the simple, vulgar larceny OF
money. a statute of Pennsylvania mas
made il embezzlemcnt for banker TO
receive customers money on deposit
knowing his bank to be insolvent, and
Delanater was prosecuted under inns
act. A man may be convicted under TINS
act and still retain the very sincere sym
nathy of his friends. Credit is OF the last
inheritance TO a banking institution. If
n banker should refuse TO receive de-
post offered to his bank it would be the
same thing as to announce that his bank
was in a failing condition. No man viii
do this whilst there is a hope that his in
stitution may possibly pull through, and
many of the most important financial IN
stitutions have often been driven into
quarters that were so close no man could
say accurately whether they were insol-
vent or not but they have survived the
crisis that was kept concealed and
floated out into all their proper open sea.
1t is terrible alternative to offer to
banker that he shall refuse deposit II
he believes his institution insolvent or go
TO the penitentiary. To refuse the de-
post Is of course to close his doors at
once. But while there is life there Is
hope. BY holding on to the last he taxes
every chance of tding over the crisis
and starting again under full sail, and
success follows this course oftener than
disaster. A trust relation dictates this
course to him also. He is trustee for
all his depositors. Ii is his duty to them
to exhaust every resource before he sur
renders, because success means their
money to them; failure means destruction
to them. You say it is infamous that
banker should take a poor widow 3
money when he knows his bank is about
to fail. But it must be recollected there
are one hundred other poor widows who
are depositors in his bank, and 1t IS his
duty to protect these to the last with
every force he can command.
The banker thus situated, and, 1t may
be. with no sort of default on his part, is
in one of the most distressing predlca-
ments that human being can be placed
in. We believe the law to be a cruel
manifestation of the Yankee idea that
government must protect" the individual
in every relation, and we hope never to
see il adopted or enforced in this State.

William Il. Gross, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
Is a thoughtful and intelligent negro, who
abandoned RadicaliSm and became a
Democrat during the Tilden campaign,
and has remained one ever since. He
has accumulated a good stock of this
worlds goods, so that he has been able
to contribute freely to his party's cam
paign fund. He says that at least one
third of the negro voters of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut will cast
their suffrages for the Democratic can
didates and the reasons he gives for his
belief are that 'the colored voters of to-
day are fast learning political economy,
and as they become educated they gradu-
ally turn from the ideal to the real. They
know that their citizenship means more
TO them than the right TO support any
one political party, and they are begin
ming TO understand the meaning of tariff
reform and honest money as being the
themes that touch the very heart of the
labor problem He says that the negro
knows that protection, so far as it per-
tains to him, is fraud, as the kind of
labor he performs is not protected"
