GOVERNOR BULKELEY.
DECISION IN TIE QUO WARRANTo
 ASE.

There Has Been No Declaration by the General Assembly, and Under the Con- stitution Morgan G. Bulkeley Will be
 Governor Until the Next Election.
 HARTFORD, Jan 5.-The judges of the supreme court rendered decision in the quo warranto case of Morris against Bulkeley this afternoon.
 The view taken by the court departs considerably in form from the claim made by either side in their briefs. The court finds that the respondent, Morgan G. Bulkeley, was legally elected gover- nor by the general assembly on the 10th no election by the people, and entered at once upon the duties of the office, The term for which he was elected was till the Wednes- day following the first Monday in January 1891, and until his successor was duly qualified. If then no success sor to him has been chosen, or has be- come duly qualified, he still holds the office of governor. He holds that office since the said Wednesday in January 1891, by the same warrant that he held it prior to that date, and continues to be governor of the state.
 
 chosen to be the successor of the re- spondent, unless the facts set forth in the case show that the relator has been so chosen, so that there can be no gov ernor elected until the next general election, and Morgan G. Bulkeley still holds the office, under the provisions of the constitution of the state.
 In regard to the claim set up of the election of Judge Morris the court says: ''The court can take judicial notice of the fact of an election, but never of the result of an election, or who is elected, until some declaration is made. The declaration is the only existence by which the other departments of the government and the citizens generally can know who to respect as such officer; and in order that a declaration shall be made of the result of an election for governor in way to be oblih atory upon everybody, the constitution has fixed d time and manner in which the general assembly shall make declara- tion. Unless made in the way so provided the process of election is not completes"

SPRING IN THE COUNTRY.

ITO what shall compare iii
Ii has a glory aud naught else can share II:
The thought thereof is awfu', sweet and holy
Chasing away all worldliness aud folly"
"The world is growing DID," says the
poet, but it is hale, old age and every
Spring it renews its youth and rejoices
IN 1t ss IN ancient times when young
Cain and Abel played among the bud
ding trees and picked the nder flow
ers of the ntedeluvian Spring.
The maple trees are pendulous with
their scarlet and o ange tlssels; the
sod is moist and sends forth fresh
odor; the blue birds and robins have
set up an Academy of Music in the oak
trees and the fruit trees are putting
forth their bronze green bnds. The
frogs are croaking i'll The ir marshes and
the evening air is fall of their weird
revelry. The garden beds have had
their coverings raked away and our
early bulbs are blossomIng while We
prepare AMI SOW the seeds for later
blooming. We look forward and see
in anticipation, our windows GOV red
with morningglories. sweet-p, as, ION
tiptoe for a fight" pansies and pinks,
roses and lilies all abloom and our
houses fragrant with bouquets.
But before this we have work TO do;
seeds must be sowed, aud garden beds
made and window bo es and cold frames
made ready. Happy they who are be-
forehand with the season: who have
studied their catalogues and have their
orders off to the florists in good time,
while the manner of planting is al
planned on paper and only the digging
and sowing needs to be done, as the
busy spring work comes on.

FLOWER NOTES.

Encourage the children to have their
gardens either for pleasure or profit.
The little ones may be kept ont of mis-
chief many hours with their little gar
den tools, while the older ones may be
kept away from the street and earn
their own pocket money by a small in
vestment in vegets lie seeds, aud, iu-
deed, the habits of thrift and industry
are worth more than the money tEey
may earn.
"a wide-awske Yankee boy" says
TicEs Magazine, bought five cents
worth of potatoes and raised enough at
80 cents bushel to brag him Sl.50,
and he only got small Iot of seed for
his money He cut it in one-eye pieces,
and after making the ground rich cul-
tivated it carefully, keeping the crop
free from weeds and beetles Another
boy showed his business faculty by
carefully raising garden truck on a
small plot he was given the use of. He
sold his produce little at time for a
neat sum. These boys are thinkers.
No danger that they will be poor
farmers.
A subscriber tells The Phild. Farm
Journal how richly the purchase of
two packets of flower seed was re-
warded the past season. One packet
contained pansy seed. The resulting
bloom was very brilliant, especially in
the Spring, and was almost incessant
the whole Summer. The other packet
contained chrysanthemum seed, of
good stock, but mixed as to sorts. The
variety and richness of coloring in the
October and November flowers we're
simply glorious. These little pleas
ures, which anybody can have, con-
stitute what may be termed the real
big dividends of life.
