We do not think that for the purpose OF win
dow adornment during the winter the Mexican
flower, (cobea scandeus) is properly appreeia
ted Its beautiful foliage and purple flowers are
items which add to the perfection of every win :
dow, Or even a single vase or fiower-pot One
objection to it is the difficulty Of starting the
seeds in the open border, and Oh this account it
ls usually more satisfactory as well az economi-
cal for the amateur to purchase plants from the
green house where they can be successfully
started by bottom heat. The plants under pro-
per treatment grow rapidly and bloom early ;
two Of ours raised from seed planted in an open
border in September commenced to bloom when

toon large bay window with over fifty feet OF
vine. To ensure perfection they require good
rich soil, plenty of warmth, with an abundant
supply of water if tablespoonful of guano or
phosphate is dissolved in the water it will give
all ample reward in profuse growth and fine
howers. Though often considered a tender
plant it will bear greater changes of temperature

not yet, ln any State, proved 0 cure for drunkenness No law that has been en- acted for the suppression of dram-selling, even in States where special constabulary machinery has been institutedfor execut- ing. 1t has done so much for the endsought as this crusade has done. In Massach chusetts. the necessity of reform is1a urgent as in New York. Does any one suppose that theimoral power which the women wield to-day would be in their hands to wield if they held the ballot? Not bit of it. They are strong because they are not political. They are strong because they have no party to serve, no personal ambi- tions to push, no selfish ends to seek. If women had the ballot, how long is it to be supposed that this crusade would be without DO litical leadership and political perversion? If these women were the re- presentatives of political power, how much toleration would they receive at the hands of those whose interests they inn peril or destroy? What kind of treat mont would an office-holder have in their ranks? Would an office holder dare to be seen in thelr ranks at all? If woman had the ballot. such a crusade as this would simply be impossible. To respond that 1t would be unnecessary, is to trihe with the subject. Men would be obliged to execute whatever laws women might pass, under any circumstances, and they would execute tho laws passed through the votes of women no better than they do their own.

 Further, let it be witnessed, that the women who are doing the most of the work in this crusade never have asked for the ballot, and never will do so. They would regard the conferment of political suffrage upon them as calamity, and 1t would undoubtedly be calamity. It would rob them of their peculiar power-a power which all experience proves cannot be preserved too carefully. Woman can- not afford the ballot. It would tic her hands, weaken her influence, destroy her disinterestedness in tho treatment of all public questions, and open into tho beau tifnl realms of her moral power ten thou sand streams of weakness and corpora tion. The woman who recently said that this crusade means the ballot," proved only by that speech how poorly qualified she was to use ballot. She ought to have seen in the crusade something great CT than tho ballot-something almost in- finity above the poor machinery of poli- tics-something by the side of which the the ballot is only q toy. This crusade does not mean tho ballot; it means that woman docs not need the ballot, cannot afford to take tho ballot, will not have the ballot; and with this conviction lot all American society gratefully folicitate it. self.-Dy.

The coroner's jury in the recent ter.
rible disaster at the Granite Mills, Fall
River, Mass, rendered their verdict
Saturday. They found that the fire
department was promptly on hand and
efficient, that the appliances for extin-
gushing fires in all the stories was in
good supply, though for some cause
water was lacking in the upper stories;
that ample means Of escape was pro-
vidcd from all the floors except the at.
tic, and that the large loss of life was in
great part due to neglect in not prompt
y giving the alarm to those in
the sixth story, as had such
an alarm been given the lives of all in
that story might have been saved. The
jury therefore find that the death Of
James Turner and the twenty.t two 9TH
ers was caused by being burned within
the mill or in jumping therefrom, with
out any censure upon the mill owners.
The report concludes as follows: "Let
the lesson not pass unheedcd, either by
millers or the public in general, that
human life is precious, in all means that
tend to save, particularly or generally.
the precious boon to the poorest mortal
has the sanction of all mankind. and an
example in him who died for all. -

NEW YORK, Oct. 19-The Committee

ing of William M. Evarts, John H. Cliff
ford, and Samuel Wetmore, appointed to
consider the subject of Mixed Schools in
the South, report, that after the most
careful comparison of opinions and the
most solicitous consideration of all the
elements of the discussion affecting the
interests of education in the various
States, for their white and colOred popu-
lation, they have unanimously come to
the conclusion that the prospects and
hopes of public systems of education at
the South will receive a serious, if not
fatal blow, from any legislation which
should make such systems of education
maintainable only on scheme of Mixed
Schools AS to the organization requir-
ed for such public education, the Board
are of the opinion that while Justice and
public good, as well as the interests and
feelings of the white and colored people
of the South, concur in demanding a
system of public education which should
give equal opportunities and equal adj
vantages to the children of either color,
that no such result would be promoted
by the Compulsory System of Mixed
Schools. The committee, in conclusion,
say these views are fully set forth in the
report of the General Agent, which is
accepted and approved expressing the
unanimous opinion of the Trustees.

THE GREAT NATIONAL REPUB
LICAN HAIR-RESTORER will pro
duce hair ten inches long in the short
space of four days and is made from one OF
the commonest weeds now in this coun-
try; weed that grows in nearly every
field. No poison about it, as cattle eat
the weed and are not poisoned thereby.
The great difficulty will be in applying
it, as in my opinion, if it touches the
naked hand, it will Immediately pro-
duce a heavy growth of hair. Great
care should therefore be used, to pre-
vent the Restorer from touching any
part of the flesh where coat of hair is
not desired. I am of the opinion that
few applications of this wonderful Re
storer will produce a heavy coat of nice
hair on smooth plank, or almost any
thing else, with any substance about it.
The solving of this great mystery has
caused me many hours hard study, the
loss of much sleep, as well as many
meals vituals. was first led to believe
there was golden discovery to be made
in the way of hair restorer, by finding
an occasional hair in butter, and l
studied over the thing great deal, not
knowing how to account for this strange
freak of nature, but could never account
for it till recently. Ihad an idea for some
time that the hairs in the butter were
produced from something eaten by the
COWS, and during the exceeding drOuth
of the last summer, I discovered that
butter contained more of them, and they
were longer and stronger than usual,
owing 1 suppose to the weed containing
more strength in dry weather than at
other times. am now convinced that
this weed will produce hair in butter
ten inches long in four days. But there
is yet mystery in this thing. Some of
the hairs are white. The color of the
cow may have something to do with this,
Rut as coloring is easily done, this will
be no great drawback on the great Re
,torer.


1 consider that this discovery will save
,he people of the United States millions
upon millions of dollars, as every lady,
