The Madeira Vine.

My mainstay and vine par excellence for
indoor use is the Madeira vine, a climber
or tWiner, as it must have some support
as strings or wires. 1t is bulb or, more
properly tuber. I have seen them vary
ing from about the size of the end of the
thumb up to the proportions of large po-
tato, which they much resemble. A me-
dunn sized tuber, freshly potted in good
fair garden SOIL will almost Immediately

leaves and twining tendrils in cheerful in

heat and dust; although it loves sunshine,

give it'a good shower bath it will BIO CRATE,

days, and 1 have never known it to be
troubled by insects of any kind-always

The only disadvantage in its use is that
the tubers multiply SO rapidly as soon to
fill the pot or box, SO they must be given
a good sized one at first.-Viek's Illus

ihe most curious imitation which we
ma IN dogs is as to the measure OF expires
sion to which they have attained. Among
the savage forefathers of the modern dog
the characteristic of all their utterancc
was, to great extent, Involuntary, and.
once begun, the cutlery was continued in
a mechanical manner.
inc erect of advancing culture on the
DOG, however, has been gradually to de-
crease this ancient undifferentiated mode
OF expression by bowling and yelping and
TO replace it by the much more specialize
DARK. There is some doubt whether dogs
possessed by savages have the power of ut
teflng the sharp, specialized note which
is SO characteristic of the civilized form
of their species
1t Is clear, however, that il they have
the power of thus expressing themselves
uhey use 1t but rarely. On the other hand,
our nigh bred dogs have, to great extent,
lost the power to express themselves in
the ancient way. Many of our breeds APP
pear to have become incapable of ululat-
ing. There is no doubt but the change in
the mode of expression greatly increases
the capacity of our dogs to set forth their
states of mind
If we watch high bred dog-one with
a wide range of sensbilities, which we
may lind in breeds which have long been
closely associated with man-we may
readily note five or six varieties of sound
IN the bark, each of which is clearly relat-
ed to certain state of mind That Of
welcome, Of fear, of rage, of doubt and of
pure fun Is almost always perfectly dis
tlnct to the educated ear, and this al
though the observer may not be acquaint-
ed with the creature. If he knows him

Mr.. Curtis, the assistant secretary of
the treasury. has issued statement in
which ha declares that the withdrawal
OF gold from the treasury since March l,
has been insignificant, being in fact
1855, 247, and that the treasury author
tiles no longer feel anxiety regarding the
future. He declares that the govern
ment's receipts are rapidly increasing
even without the yield from sugar and
the income tax, and III short tine, he
asserts, the government will have all the
money it needs. AS the bad condition of
the treasury has been one of the disturb
ing conditions to reviving business this
statement of Mr.. Curtis will be good
news. 1t is to be hoped that the favora-
BILE condition may continue and that the
predictions as to revenue will be real

business it wants.

FREE SILVER BOOM.

Over 5000 people attended the free
silver couvention in New Orleans
last Aosday night. Our parish
was represented BY DR.. e. b. Ben
ton, Of Honey Island, who has
been appointed member Of the
Central Committee Of the State BIZ
metallic League. Eloquent address
e were made by Congressman Bryan
Of NebraSka, and Money, of Mis-
sissippi. A platter mwas adopted
favoring The free and unlimited
Coinage Of silver IS well q gold, at
the ratio OF Is 70 l, without regard
to the action Of any 0ther nation,
and that such coined money should
be made full legal tender for all
debts, public and private. Bimetalic
leagues will be formed in every
parish in the State. Four hundred
delegates were elected to attend
the Memphis Free Silver Conven-
ton. The arguments Of the
speakers were strong and convincing
and the effect Of the meeting was
to cause .. big rise in the tidal
wave Of free silver which Is now
sweeping over the country. Con-
gresham Bryan is the leading
champion OF the cause. He is an
eloquent and fluent speaker. and
thoroughly understands the subject
In all its phases, aud it is logical
conclusion that he will be the Presi-
Dental candidate on the free silver
platform.
