Dutch Gardens.

A hint which our florists might take
with advantage from their English
cousins is the cultivation of what ara
called Dutch gardens. These stiff beds
of low flowers, which are arranged so
that the whole group is one mass OF
bloom, either of one variety alone and
arranged so that the smaller plants arc
on the edge, the others sloping up to q
comp rativcly high apex For instance,
in spring there would be late crocuses,
then hyacinths, anemones, datfodi!s,
and finally tulips, all blooming together,
the time of planting regulating their
simultaneous towering. Some English
women have carried this style of garden
ing to high degree of perfection, and
their stiff geometrical beds aud neat
walks recall the old,fa hioned gardens
where ladies in high heelcd slippers and
stiff brocsdes drank tea and gossipped
with their friends. - New York Tribune

Remark BILE Ft ssil Tracks

Ages ago, in the geological time
known TO the scientists as the triassic
period, the Connec ticut River Valley
and, perhaps, the whole eastern portion
of what is now the North American Con-
tinent, was inhabited by q gigantic
species of two and four-footed reptiles.
At Portland, in the famous brown stone
quarries, scores of tracks of these Great
ures have been found,, and there are
probably hundreds OF them left in that
remarkable ledge that will be unearthed
by the geologist of the future. At first
these tracks were attributed to gigantic
species Of extinct birds, but the late Ed
ward Hitchcock, a well known writer on
geology and other kindred subjects, pro-
nounced them the tracks of saurians.
That they were amphibious all writer's
agree, but as TO their bulk and height
there is some difference of opinion. Some
OF the tracks are twenty inches from
"heel" TO toe and almost as broad, clearly
proving that the animal or reptile was no
dwarfish member of the vertebrates.
Then, too, they are from three to five
feet apart, which is proof positive that
the creature was not less than twelve
feet high; that is providing it was
biped, as everything indicates.
One of the most remarkable finds of
those fossil tracks was made at Portland
about twenty years ago, when single
slab, plainly marked twenty-five con
secutive footprints. well-defned and per
feet, was laid bare. The stone com
posing the Portland cliffs is Of that kind
usually spoken of as sandstone, lying in
horizonal stra.as, badly cut up with
seams and chssms. On lifting section
of this stone, as in blasting operations,
the trecks are found upon the under sur
face. From this fact geologists are of
the opinion that some terrible eruption
has completely re, ,ersed the order of
things in the Connecticut valley since
that great ledge of sandstone was in a
plastic state of consistency suitable for
receiving impressions such as have been
described above ST. Louis Republic.

OF MANY NATIONALiTIES.
Inhabitants Of the storm. ravsged Re
gfOn Of Louisiana.


OF the zoos counted victims of the
Louisiana coast floods only fifty three
were negroes, says letter TO the Troy
Times. There are few colorcd people in
the section visited by the storm. They
are mixedup people in that part of
Louisiana. The predominating races
are Acadians, Austrians, Creoles, Islin-
CUES, Italians, Msnillamen, Chinese, and
Spaniards, the number of each ranging
in the order named.
The Acadians are descendants Of the
people who have been immOrtalized in
Longfellow's poem "Evangeline. These
people have large families, frequently
from twelve to fifteen children each.
The Manillamen are full-blooded Tagais
from the Philippine islands; these peo-
pie had no women among them; they
had only one stove in the whole colony,
and they eat their fish raw They frater-
nizc well with the Chinese, and are
treated by the whites on equal terms.
The people called Austrians are genuine
SIavs, generally Morlachs from Dalma-
tia. They speak Italian. relic of the
days when Venice ruled Dalmatia. They
are all fishermen, and are an industrious,
bold and hardy people. The Islingues
are the dies cendants Of a colony of Can
AIRY Islanders, who came over TO Louisiana
during the Spanish invasion. They have
a dash of the Berber blood OF the Can
ary aborgines and are darker than the
average Spaniard. Scattered among
these various people are few Americans
and Germans and many creoes.
In spite OF their propinquity, these
races generally live separate, and one
can in travelling a few miles find settle
ments of pure .blooded people Of each
nationality. This is a remarkable fact,
as many families are natives who can
count their American descent back for
ten or a dozen generations. They live
in the swamps and lowlapds, and this
accounts for the terrible destruction of
life by the storm. They control the
entire fishing industry. but the packing
houses for oysters and shrimps are owned
10y Americans. There were /, 800 fisher
men lost in the flood; the others were
sailors, traders, storekeepers and far
mers. The absence Of negroes is due to
the fact that they have been driven out
by the overwhelming numbers Of these
queer people.

The needle was black as ink, having

A sEDITIOUs APPEAL AND STRIKING
PARALLEL.

To differ publicly with members OF our
own party is not grateful duty. TO
differ so radically as we are compelled
to differ with Mr. Bryan. Of Nebraska,
Is positively distasteful. But we cannot
allow what he said last week in the House
OF Representatives 10 pass without en-
tering the most earnest protest against
It that we know how to make. In de-
livering his speech for free silver he
said
Society has become accustomed 10
some very nice distinctions. The poor
man IS called a socialist if he believes
that the wealth of the rich should be
divided among the poor. but the rich
man Is called financier II he devises
plan by which the pittance OF the
poor can be converted TO his use. The
poor man who takes property by force
Is called a thief. but the creditor who
can by legislation make a debtor pay
dollar twice as large as he borrowed
is lauded as the friend OF sound cur
rency. The man who wants the people
20 destroy the government is an Anar-
chist. but the man who wants the gov
ernment TO destroy the people is a
patriot
We should Ike TO know Of Mr.. Bryan
what reason he can suggest why the
poor man who believes that the wealth
OF the rich should be divided amongst
the poor should not be called a socialist?
We should also like To know of him
why the man who takes property by
force should not be called thief, or
why the man who wants people to de-
otr f,n
called an Anarchist?
On the other hand we would like Mr..
Bryan to specify who It is that applauds
the act Of rich man who devises a
plan to convert TO his own use the pit
lance OF the poor. or who forces
debtor 10 pay a dollar twice as large
as that borrowed, or who wants the
government TO destroy the people? Let
him name some persons or classes Of
persons VINO approve OF any such the
cries. OF course ne cannot do It, and all
men know such statements to be mere
rodomontade and vicious rhetoric. This
Is land where all the relations OF life
are regulated by law. The law secures
TO all men, rich or poor, high or low,
complete and entire possession and en-
,oyment OF that which is their own and
II secures to every man free and I'M
uammeled opportunity 10 push his own
fortunes In any direction and in any
quarter that his inclinations lead him to-
90 that there is no conversion OF the
p''ahce OF the poor. or payment Of
