| Cornelius ODowd, in one Of his in
| fmitable essays, tells us that once
upon time in the County of Clare a
between two gentlemen whom we will
call Capt. Robins and w. Jones, Esq.
Very hot wOrus passed between them.

the Squire: "Im your man" 1t was
at length decided they should fight in

his opponent. "Where are you, you
scoundrel?" cried the Captain, when
here, you shoeblack," replied the
Squire. Stand out bold" said the
Captain. 'It's what I'm doing, "
said the other. "Give the word and
no more talking" "Get behind the
pump, yer Honor, get behind the
pump before you fire." whispered the
groom, pulling the Captain of the
coat. He did so, and when they
blazed away it was the Squire who
got il, anC it was more than three
| months before he could get out
again. Apropos of this duel in the
dark there is a beautiful but pathetic
anecdOte of two meu, the one "kind

CIEAfATIS yINES

These beautiful vines are very great
favorltes for porches and trellises, both
IN this country and i'll England. The
purple and white JackmannI are very
popular and make a fine adornment.
Another valuable species is Clematis
Ianuginosa, of which our illustration
represents plant of the variety, Lady
Caroline NevilL. This flower is of a
Frenchwhite color, marked with
mauve bans. The species is
native of China and will not thrive
anywhere like our common Virgins
Bower; they require warm, soft soil
and careful treatment. The sorts
should be enric ed with manure, and,
during the growing season, should be
kept well mulohed and watered. The
London Gdden, in describing this
species gives picture of the variety

They were now at the gateway o.

and took the letter, intending to give
it to Helen. She could not find her in
the house, so she laid it on the dinner
table, and went out of the side door to
look in the garden for her. As she

The fire was low, and the hames had

Those of us who are able to atteno

cess DiM FlotUers. may confidently eA-
pect to behold some marvellous resuits
in Horticulture. The French Commis-
sion has asked that it be allowed to do
.'the whole decoration of the spaces
surrounding the Horticultural and the
Womar's buildings. The French are
said 10 be the finest and most artistic
landscape gardeners in the world and II
this request of theirs is complied witn'
as 1t probably will, We will he likely to
witness something new and beautiful
in landscape gardening in America. -.
They also ask for 1000 square feet
for the French horticultural exhibit,
from which it is evident that they pro-
pose to "spresd themselves and show
us what they can do.
America is prepared to make very
pleasing little exhibit of its own, and
this throwing down of the gauntlet, as
it were, by other nations will only
serve 10 bring about a floral exhibition
unsurpassed, perhaps, in the history OF
the world.
May we all be there to revel in its
wonderful splendor and beauty

LIQUID MANURRs FOR PLANTS.

A Baltimore florist, In Journal OF
Chemistry, is responsible for the fol
lowing plan of getting liquid manure:
Put one bushel of horse clippings from
the blacksmith's into barrel and fill
with water, allowing it to stand for a
week, when it is ready to use with a
watering pot on potted plants. Plants
under this watering grow very strong,
although at first the results are not
promising. 1t makes large, handsome
flowers, and plants can remain in very
small pots for a long time under this
treatment. This is of interest to the
market gardener, who can secure
thrifty plants that occupy.small space
and will command good ice.

Amusing the Bows.

George Butler. canon of Winchester
cathedral, was the son of DR.. Butler,
head-master of Harrow. The boy grew
up to be a dignified and serious man, a
power in philanthropy and the church,
but that he had a demure sense of
humor is shown by one anecdote of his
earliest years. DIR. Butler wore a fine
suit of black. with knee-breeches and
cloth CATERS, and with his powdered
hair was figure calculated to move
any schoolboy to admiration and awe.
One morning, little George watched
him, as he set out for school, and OBJ
served that his father wore only one
gaiter. When DIR. Butler returned. he
said to the lad: "You were here,
George, when went away this morn
ing. Didn't you see that had only one
gaiter?' ''Yes, papa" ''Then why
didn't you tell me?" Because" an
