Ornamental Plants.

A writer in Vic<s' Magazine thus de-
scribes a successful attempt in orna-
menting school grounds: In shady
corner a rockery of spar and marble
chips was filled with ferns A bed of
fuchias and a border of sweet alyssum
stood against the green and white
background. Near it was bed Of
choice pansies. A Virginia creeper
reached nearly to the caves, and for
six months formed a very pretty
drapery of foliage. A Queen Of Prairie
rose over twenty feet high bore one
summer more than five hundred roses.
Well fed with fertilizer, it bloomed
abundantly and sent up new wood for
the following year. While these plants
were at their best the foliage was fair
~ hidden by profusion of snowy
blossoms

TWO FRIENDS.
A Hermit Crab of the Mediterranean and
the Sea-Anemone.

A Hermit Crab of the Mediterranean and
the Sea-Anemone.
Some crustaceans hide their shells
under another sea creature, apparent
ly to protect themselves. A certain
hermit crab found in the Mediterranean
sea is fond of a sea-anemone, and it IS
unusual to find shell which a hermit
has chosen for his house unprotected
by his anemone friend. A gentleman
relates that he captured and put in n
large aquarium one of these sea-ane-
mones on shell in which was her.

outgrown his house.

then the hermit grew SO large that he
had to leave his shell and abandon his
friend. An hour after the hermit left
his old shell looked at the aquarium
again, and was surprised to find the
sea-anernone on top of the new shell
which the hermit crab had adopted as
his dwelling. They both seemed very
well satisfied.
"HOw had the anemGne come there?

the shell to the surface of the water

Hardly had the crustacean touched
bottom before he seized the anemone
with one claw. then with two, and l
saw at once what he Intended to do.
with great care he went to work to
replace the anemone 'e,n the shell. He
found the anemone upright again.
Then he grasped it firmly with two
claws, and raised it and placed it on
the shell. For twelve minutes he re-
manned perfectly motionless, pressing
it firmly on to the shell all the time.
Then he very cautiously took away
first one claw and then the other.
Il was pleased to see that when he
moved, the sea anemone remained in
place, as firmly fixed as the energetic
little crab could wish. Youths Com

MODERN WAR VESSELS.

Guns Mounted on Tall Steel NIasts q Thing
of the Near Future.
The plan of war vessels is constantly
changing, and while the United States
has in the New York the best armored
cruiser in the world, other nations are
preparing to build better ones. The
French have lately directed their at
tention to the improvement of steel
masts containing lookout, from which
the commanding officer may dfrect the
movements of the vessel by means of
bells. speaking-tubes and an electrical
steering device. These masts also carry
guns made to sweep an enemys decks,
and add to the fighting strength of the
~ar-ship with fghting-tops La his
lookout the comnander of one Of these
new French cruisers will be able to
look over the smoke of battle and even
over the low fogs which some
times lie along the surface of the
water, and to direct the movements
OF his ship and his men to the best ad-
vantage. If both sides were to use the
so-ealled smokeless powder the advau-
tage would not be SO apparent, and the
elevated Lookout might even be an at
tractive target for the enemy. We say
so-called smokeless powder, because it
is not powder at all. but a rubber or
waxlike substance which does not
burn with fash like fine powder. but
much more xlowly-lilke celluloid.
Some may not know that the powder
burned IN large cannon is very coarse,

Gov. O'rcrrall's Inauguration.

1t is the opinion cf the RichmOnc
Dispatch that Gov O'Fcrrall should be
inausurated with military and civic
parade, and the Richmond State approves
the suggestion of its contemporary. The
STATE has also sSccrtancd that Colonel
O'Fearal. while prcfcrrng simple inau-
guration, il nevertheless inclined to
think that the ceremonies should be Of n
character beiittng tho dignity of the oo-
cason, and is willing to let his follow
citizens honor him as they may sec fit.
This is sensible view to take Of the
matter. There is more or less hypocrt-
ical preten>o in the talk about Jefferson
ian simplicity in such connections, and
nc are naturally disposed to question the
faith or sincerity Of the man who being
elected to high Office. takes special
pains to impress upon the populace. that
he wants no public demonstration over
his installation.
II is true there is good deal of fuss
and feathers in the inaugural business
that is d>ta.teiul in sense TO any mod
est and unprotcnious man; at the same
time, if The people like it and find therein
n congsnial method ST expressing conf
dence in The man Of their choice, or their
respect for his official position. or their
elatioi o-cr hs success, or whatever it
may he, it were in bad taste on the part
OF any Ocial-elect to antagonlze their
wishes and throw 4 damper on their en-
thusiasm.
Col. O'Fcrrall is right. He may not
altogether fancy the arrangements that
arc contemplated for his Inauguration,
but it is not for him to say what shall be.
He owes it rs Il matter of courtesy TO the
people vho have chosen him the chief
magistrate of the great Commonwealth
that they he permitted TO induci him into
Office with such cercmonals and festivi-
ties rs TO them shall seem most appro-

Their support.
The contest for the Office of Adjutant-
General Of The Virginia Volunteers, which
Was recently made vacant hy the death of
General James Mcdonald, is growing in
interest every day, and there have been
many speculatioMs rs to who will be Sc
lectcd by Governor O'Fcrrall. OF course
the friends Of the respective aspirants for
the position arc doing all in their power
to advocate the claims Of their fayoritcs
and the incoming Executive has received
scores Of letters upon the subject.
There are FIVE candidates for the office
-Gencral Charles J. Anderson, brigadier-
general Of the First Brigade; Colonel t..
Percy Halves, the former coTmandant of
the First Regiment of Cavalry; Colonel
William Male. Of Culpcpcr,lh command
ant Of the Third Regiment of Infantry;
Captain Phil lIaxal, the former COM
mandant of the Stuart Horse Guard, and
Captain Keller, Of Charlottesville, who is
connected with the Third Regiment.
All Of these gcntlomcn arc we'll known
and popular among the military. and it IL
safe TO say that any one Of them would
fill the position most acccptahly. Still, it
is no dsparascmcnt to the respective
candidates to state that the contest has
now practically narrowed itself down be-
tween General Anderson and Colonel
lIawcs. Although the incoming Governor
appoints General McDonad's successor,
he will doubtless attach great weight to
the wishes Of the military and citizens.
and will carefully consider the recon-
mcudations and claims put forth by each
