The Charlestown Spirit says that
the ancient estate of Hardwood will
soon he preserved for the people of
the United States and as memorial
of the Washington family of colonial
days, if the plans of an association of
gentlemen are carried through. Edwin
Fairfax Naulty, Of Philadelphia, has
been in Charlestown for the last few
days in consultation with John Au-
gustine Washington, the present owner
of Hardwood, over the means by which
the association will arrange for the
purchase of Hardwood. With Mr..
Naulty came George Steptoe Wash
ington, formerly of Charlestown. but
now of Philadelphia. G.S. Washing
ton, Mr.. Naulty and photographer
spent two days at Hardwood, going
over the place and getting pictures of
the old house and it's beautiful gar
dens. While the plans of the associa-
ton are not yet completed, it is prob
able that an arrangement will be en-
tered into by which the Washington
Manor Association will purchase this
historic old place and preserve it as
Mount Vernon is now being preserved.

FREAKS IN FLOWER POTS.
Some lettings About the Most Cur
iOus Plants i'm the World.

Perhaps the most curious collection Of
cacti in England, says a writer in The
Golden Penny, is thai which a visitor
may see at any time at the Swanlsy
nurseries. Mr.. Camel for years past
has taken great interest in this branch
OF plant culture, and has gathered from
adl corners of the eartA many of the rar-
est specimens in existence.
There are some 500 Varieties of cacti, a
number which leaves plenty of scope for
the production of freaks in flower pots
few of which win proceed to de-

The ''grassula profula," or as It is COL
loqu1ally termed, the cats meat" cac-
tus. resembles nothing so much as discs
OF flesh stuck on long skewers. The stalks
OFTEN extend to length of five feet, but
no matter how long they grow the cur
rious feshy-looking discs of cats meat"
also form. No intelligent pussy would

pearance of being carved from stone, be-
ing destitute of any sign of plant life
save at the edges, which are somewhat
indented and leaf-like.
The 'echinocactus," or hedgehog cac-
tus" belongs to the largest genus of the
family, comprising upwards OF 2Ol
species, including some of the most hand

world. The flowers In numerous specie s
attain a considerable size, the most pre-

of artificial training to bring about the
likeness. Even the night or fools cap is
reproduced with the utmost fidelity.
Other extraordinary specimens are the
''prickly pear cactus, which grows from
a small stem, gradually increasing In

hlishted through the greed and crime of
men who sell whisky.
Why, the man who will sell whisky
is SO much meaner than a thousand horse
thieves that he is not to be mentioned
IN the same year, to say nothing of the
same week or month. A man who lis
whisky is the meanest animal of his
kind. If man wants to get a bottle os
whisky and take a drink himself,
have nothing to say about that, that is
matter of taste and if a man hapren

Oklahoma and puts a bottle of whisky
In his pocket for his own use, the law
was never intended to reach cases Of
that kind. We can't fool away time on

BRADsREETs' REVIEW.

New York. April 5.-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 Speculative activity, seeking expression. in the markets for securities, cereals, raw cotton and some hog products, has rather tended to obscure in the general distribu- tive trade, which has, however, been tenn porarily disturbed in retail lines at least by widespread unfavorable weather con ditions, while the genera! tendency of this speculation has been bullish marked exception was that furnished by bearish movements in wheat and cron, which have lowered the level of these products for the time being. The gener- al concensus in that retail product, East ern trade has been to some extent cur tailed by rains in the cities and by bad roads in the country districts, but as above, noted these are really only tenn porarily phases and the general outlook as to crops and as to spring trade as a whole is in a high degree encouraging. The textile trades continue a source of Encouragement to manufacturers but the strength of raw cotton, despite some re- curing weakness. shows that at present prices which are quarter of cent above last week. that staple has developed some friends. Liquidation of torrid holders in wheat and a drive aganst the leading Chicago bull interests in corn have brought about lower range of values, but 1t is worth nothing, as a heavy ex- port business has been done in wheat at the decline, and both of these cereals close above the lowest. The statistical situation of lard has been Instrumental in bringing about a sharp rise, sympa- thized in by other hog products

A projectile weighing sixty pounds was fired with powder charge of twenty-six pounds. The muzzle velocity reached the exceptionally high figure of 2990 feet per second, showing a muzzle energy of 374 feet to the ton. The experiment Is en- tirey satisfactory on account of It's comparison with other pieces. It is safe to say that the projectile will penetrate at 200O yards five inches of Krupp ar- nor,
