HOUSE AND GARDEN PLANTS. found pt lerseraneng ll Accophagar cod jormation as to their Waluabdlie Inf come At the meeting Wednesday night of the Dis- trict of Columbia Horticultural Society, Mr. John T. C. Clark, one of our most successful herticulturits, made the following interesting address: . President:—In response to your tnvita- im and in deference to the repeated demands of some of our lady members for information relative to the cul tivation of house and garden ants, I have endeavored to embrace the Wg remarks a few general directioas for the accomplishment $f these objects which, if followed, { feel assured will enable them to achieve ‘success in this and healthral ployment. as ig not expected, nor shall we attempt, to give an elaborate treatise on plant culture on ‘this occasion. Our remarks will be confined to growing plants from seed, thelr after culture, and the selection of suitable plants for the house and garden. The mere economist may not realize the remunerative pleasures derived from the cultivation of flowers, yet, unless he is deficient in the most simple conceptions of Deauty, must acknowledge that they exert a refining and joyous influence far more-desira- bie than pecuniary profit. In every plant we meet with constant variety, and are prevented from becoming weary of the pursuit. One source of pleasure derived from the inquiry into the structure and mode of existence of plants, arises from the wonderful adaptation of all their parts to each other. The humble:t and simplest plant, if carefully examined, will be found to display an organization as remark- ably and beautifully adapted to the functions they have to perform. Independent of all other considerations, the culture of flowers 1s a fertile source of innocent pleasure. ‘There 1s, perhaps, no singte occupa- ion capable of exercising such an advantageous influence on the mind, and it will be found a useful exercise to the mental faculties. It may be safely assumed that !t affords more to toterest and tnstruct.—more to refresh and relax the mind,—than any other pursuit. At every step, ‘wonders previously unsuspected are to b2 seen. ‘The further we advance, the more we desire to Jearn and perceive how much remains in store for us. SELECTING AND SOWING SEED. As It requires as much time and attention to produce a poor flower as a good one, it is true economy to grow the best. The more beautiful and finer the variety chosen, the greater will be the = derived in the season of blooming. Much depends on the selection of seed. Tne choice and best only should be obtained; for only from these can satisfa ‘tory results be ex- pected. or seeds are hazardous, and should be avoided. Among other causes of fallure in growing anaes from seed may be named imperfect sow- ig, excessive moisture, and the employment of too hot manures. To succeed in this operation, We must conform to the lessons nature hes. ‘She sows the seed soon after they mature, in fine, loose soll, where they are covered with a mould of decaying leaves, and protected until the rains and warmth of spring cause them to germinate and grow, and, in turn, produce Planta and flowers for a succession. All plants are sensible to the action of nour- ishment—air and light—and will either thrive & languish according to the application of ese stimulants. For in-door culture, flower seed should po sown tn flower ts or shallow boxes thres inches deep, having open seams at the bottom So the water can drain through quickly. The — should be — ure Cort a = ana light, rich garden loam, thoroughly incor; rated and passed through a coarse selva. ‘ine pots or boxes being filled within half an inch of the top, gently press the soll smooth and level and sow the seed evenly over the surface and ‘sift jest enough soll over the seed as will cover them and no more, and give water sufficient to settle the soil over them. A small water-pot having a very fine nose should be used for this purpose. The pots or boxe3 should be kept in a temperature as near sixty as possible, and supplied with water only when the surface appears to be dry. If the Soll be dry when sowing the seed it should be Well dampened befcre planting. The pots or boxes should be placed in a lignt window fac- ing the south oreast. As soon as the plants appear they require careful attention. Too much water will cause them “damp off.” ‘When the weather ts pleasant aif should be ad- mitted. As soon as the plants are large enough to handle they should be picked out and trans- Planted in other pots or boxes about one inch ay and placed in the snade-a few days until ey are established. Wh2n large enough they should be again transplanted singty into smaller pots ahd Kept unill the proper season for planting out in the garden. For outdoor culture, tlower-seed may be sown in the months of April and May, if the soil is in proper condition. They should be sown as 00D as the soll becomes dry and 1s easily crum- bled. Care must be taken not to sow them too close. It is preferable to sow all ve seed in the house, as before described, as the rains and heavy winds render the soll unfit for the ger- mination of very smatl seed. One of the most frequent causes of fatlure in growing plants from seed is in sowing them too deep. If some varteiles of flower-secd, such a3 the Cypress Vine, Morning Glory and oihers, be soaked in warm water ashort ume before being planted, they will germinate mach s2oner. THE SOIL OF THE GARDEA3 should be im a friable and active state, so as not to be able to bake. To this cause may be attributed the difficulty of small flower seed surviving germination, and for deltcats tran3- Planted annuais w make a start. Fl> WATERING, ‘The importance of uniform attention to wa- tering can only be learned by observation. To omit a single application, and allow the young plant germs from seeds to remain in a parched State, or a too frequent and tndiscrimtnate sup- ply, often leads to the eventual destruction of the whole. SETTING OUT PLANTS. For setting out plants, and particularly young seedlings, clouay or rainy weather should be selected. Injury to the roots should be carefully avoided. Large plants should have their roots untaargied, aud pianted somewhat deeper than their original depth, held in an up- Figbt position, and the soil weil worked in among the roots with the hands. Having filled bo Apel Press with ue feet the sid2s of the Plant to keep it in position; water, and staxe securely, avolding the useof twine for that Purpose, as when wet it surinks and cuts tne = ——— p.ants should be avoided. It not only injurious, bai. tends to destroy the whole beauty of the garden and causes difl- culty tn working the grquad. SELECTION OF PLANTS. Only such plants as possess superior merit should be chosen, and these contined to the best varieties of each class. Assuming that most persons, in making a selection, Will be governed by their own taste, We venture lo suggest that the old and reliabls favorites are wortuy of consideration, and, in our optnicn, no collecuon can be complete without them. Among these we would mention the Sweet Alyssum, Mignonette, Balsams, Petualas, Ver- benas, Zinnias, Asters, Geranium, Dianthus, Phlox, Cypress Vine, and Coowascanseas. In addition to these, where the grounds are ample, Dablias, Glaciolas, and specimens of decidgous and other plants, wili prove desirable, THE ROSE. Chief among other requisite plants for the garden is the Queen of Flowers, the Rose. It possesses and unites in one charming whole all the features which sing 'y characterize our other pular favoriies—Dbeauty and variety of form, Behcate Unts, dazzling colors, and delightful perfumes, Erroneous ideas prevail as to the merits ot many varieties of this family.

Though it may, for atime, keep some in apparent health, it must eventually result in injuring, if not in the total destruction of the whole. Th¢ habits of plants must thelr requirements conformed to, if we would have our ex; tions realized. We cannot change the laws which govern them, and wheneyer we attempt it injury and destruction follow. Can we reasonably expect the Begonia and plants of similar habits to en- dure the scorching rays of the sun when nature designed them for the shade? Or the Rose and others similarly constituted to grow and flour- ish in excessive moist and dark positions when good drainage and the heat of the sun are nec- essary to keep them in health and enabie them to bring forth their flowers? All collections of house plants suould assimi- late in habit ag near as possibie, and not consist of an indiscriminate group of exotic and hardy spectmens. Where the requirements of one a83 antagonise those of others all are im- Paired to some extent, and sooner or later the whole become diseased and unfit for further use.

A sen- sation 1s an impression made on the mind through the avenue of one of the five senses by an external object. In the present case the external object is the sermon. But a sermon ig addressed to the mind through a sense of hearing. Therefore it follows that a sensa- tional sermon 1s a sermon that creates a sen- sation in, or makes an pea ression on, the mind ‘hrough the sense of hearing.

Some of the Tricks of Wall Street Sharpers. “How are the lambs fleeced in Wall street?” was asked of a well-known broker. “There are dozens of ways in which the thing can be done,” was the reply. * Please state some of the methods,” per- sisted the seeker ater information, who was a New York Star reporter. “ Well, if you will pomee not to print my name I will tell you how many of the brokers fleece the unwary. The first step to be taken toward fieecinga lamb is to pull wool over his eyes. If there is a certain stock to be unloadea upon him he must be made to believe that it is to his advantage to purchase.” “How is that?” “One favorite method was illustrated 8 few days ago, when certain parties sought to un- load St. Paul stock by causing a report to be circulated that a ‘corner” was being formed in that Wall street specialty. They secured the insertion in @ metropolitan journal that shines for all’ of a announcement that a prominent broker was at the head of a pool for making the alleged ‘corner.’ The result was that hundreds of amateur speculators were in- duced to purchase St. Paul ata figure much above its actual value.” “Who are the lambs?” . “(Of courage, they are not old brokers or ex- Perlenced speculators.

In the firat place, a large number of ‘raw recruits’ are found amon those who know little or nothing of the ins ant outs of Wall street, but who have an trresisti- ble impulse to try their luck on the wheel of fortune, The other large class is composed of persons who, having extra cash on hand, de- sire to make Javestment:, so that thelr money will not be ule.

At the close of a rainy day, luring which Mr. Drexel—then doing a very modest business on 3d street, Philadelphia, a3 @ money and exchange broker—had been a large buyer of Mexican silver, and while he ‘was en; in recounting his purchases re loor paratory to settling his cash account, the of bis banking-house was suddenly opened by a aa at map, who exclaimed: “I oan ae one hundred left; do-you want em?” “Mr. Drexel, without raising his head, re- “Tl give you fifty cents for them.” vi . “No,” sald the man, “I've sold all the others os Je hie ids Cents and only have a hunared Mr. Drexel replied: “I have bought them all day at sixty cents, and if yours have no holes in them I will take them at the same price, and that is the most you can ae for them.” a hever saw ny with holes in them,” sald the man, “Didn’t you?” said Mr. Drexel. “Halt of what we get are full of noles, where they have Deon used as buttons.” md ‘The man scratched his head a moment and then sald: “Very well; I'll bring them in right away.” afterward he appeared with a Five minutes small tin kettle and walking up to the counter said: “Where shall I put them?” “Pour them out here,” said Mr. Drexel, indi- cating a cular spot on the counter. ‘I can’t,” said the seller, “ they will all slip off on the floor.” Mr. Drexel, without withdrawing his atten- tion from the counting of hia purchases of the , called to his son Frank to ** pHing a tray.” the tray was brought it was found to have a large crack across it, to which the man strenuol objected, saying: ‘They wilt all fall through.” This nettied old Mr. Drexel, who in rather a, told him “ that tray has held thousands and thousands of them every day,” and furthermore, in peremptory terms, bade him “ pour them out, quick!” Accordingiy the kettle was raised to the level of the counter and one hundred fat, raw oysters were poured into the cracked tray, much to the chagrin and disguat of the banker and his soa— ‘the former of whom exclaimed: “ Way, those are eae ie “Well,” said the oysterman, (who knew noth- ing about Mexican silver,) ‘“‘wiat the d—I did you think they were?” Sailing Over the Snow Drifts.

FRANCE AND TUNIS—PREVOST PARADOL'S PRE- DICTION—THE PEARL OF THE WSST—WHO 1A—PALM SUNDAY IN PARIS— SONAPARTS'S DEATH—CRIME UN SPRING TIME- PARIS, RTC. [Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.) PARIS, April 13, Since 1371, France has been practicing the | doctrine of peace on earth and good will toward men. But she never intended that on back sigh for sigh. Indeed, she resembies thoee wicked animals, which, when struck, de- fend themselves. In the three antagonistic Teligions paid by the state, not one of them | approves of a parishioner, if slapped on the | Tight cheek, turning round the lett to receive | & similar attention. The French have a long | bill for compensation against the Bey of Tunis, "| or rather against the ladies of his Bardo, for | the looting excursions of the Kroumtrs—moun- | taineers on the northwestern frontier of | Algeria, whom he claims for subjects, as they | view him as their dependent. The Kroumtrs | Can muster 20,000 rifles; the standing army of the Bey, his amazons and minister of war in- Cluded, do not come up to half that number— of Paper. As the fly finished at las: by | irritating the lion, 80 the patience of | France, which had’ become a vemptation for Tunisians, at last exhausted, resolved | to redress her own wrongs and in her own way. This is the more necessary, not alone | for her outraged territory and insulted honor, but to maintain her prestige in all her African possessions. The Mussulmans only recogaize | force; they see, according to thelr own proverb, | Paradise at the muzzle of their musket; perhaps at the muzzle of the enemy’s would D2 nearer exactitude. The massacre of the Flatters ex- Ploring expedition; the unmistakable signs of | Arabian disaffection; the increasing boldness of the Kroumirs, more than secretly encouraged by the heir presumptive: the series of snubs to which French tnterests 1n Tunis had been Subjected, and the lamentable blunder of Italy inspiring all these proceedings through her consul, left France only Hobson's choles. The nation is with the government, and every lover of fair play must be with the French. Itis to be devoutly wished she will go rapidly to work, and, while storming the Kroumirs, pay a visit to the worthless Regent, and since he cannot in a civilized manner, “protect” him, on the and Austrian principle. Civiliz tion has only to gain by elbowing Mah out of the way. WHAT A STATESMAN PREDICTED, Prevost Paradol (the French minister to Washington who committed suicide some years ago in your city) observed that the future of France lay in Africa; it seems to be her mant- fest destiny to absorb in time Tunis and Mo- rocco—commencing by sclentific frontiers and resident political agents, and to unite Algiers to her Senegal possessions. Then in about two centuries, England spreading from the south, can shake hands with her. No one seriously believes either that Tunts 13 a part of Turkey, or that the integrity of the Ottoman empire is @reality. What remains integral 1s Mahom- edan faith. It ig as insolent today asin the lume when crusades were national industries; its spirit Is identical with the oath of Bajazat, that he would make his horse eat {ts oats on the altar of St. Peier’s, at Rome. It was under Charles VI. that the flower of Frenct chiv- alry, Commanded by the Duc de Bourbon, flew to the atd of the Genoese, and in- vaded Ci ge and Tunis, The “spe Clal correspondent” on that occasion wag Froissart. The expedition, if not brililant, was Rot disastrous; the three most powerful ens- mies of the Invaders were heat, drought end fever; these exist still; form elements in na- tional defence, as snow does In Russia, The Kroumirs practice the usual Mahomedan bar- barities in their prison3: mutilation, gouging out crea, Slicing off ears, nosa and Nps, aud drawing —not teeth, that having been an infidel monopoly is scornfully rejected—but nails, The Kabyles burned their prisoners alive, and the French could hear the agonizing cries of their les. Gen. Pellissier retaliated by smoking or cooking natives in caverns, in their own juice, Lez talionis. TUNIS IS THE PEARL of the west and signifies “whiteness,” accord- ing to Oriental poets; the Arabs hence call it the “burnaus of the Prophet.” Like Constan- tinople, it is a gilded sepulchre, for it has min- areta Of a 200 muezzin power, while Inside ous ! Algeria was an extension of the Regency. Tne cilmate of Algeria is not tropical, and hence the source of many colonizing errors; it is rather a prolongation of Provence and Lauguedoc, It Was formerly the home for Sallea rovers; the interlor was a swamp and discord reigned among the natives as an institution. Yet the country was able from 1793-99 to export wheat Heprovistont the French -ibsear army in Italy aud Egypt; two Israelites directed the trade, but much fraud having been discovered the accounts were held over for examination. The Dey had been mixed up with the thieving, and his successors pressed for a settlement so | much 80 that on one occasion the Day struck the French consul with his fan and the claim Was definitely balanced by the Frencu occupy- | ing Algiers. ‘The early colonists could only live i under the protection of eatrenched camps, | hence the slow progress of the colony.

WHO PEOPLE ALGERIA, Besides the Earopeans and the Israelites, the three races of Algeria are, tie Arabs, Kabyles and Negroes. The Kabyles belong to the Berbere, or moat ancient race; the Arabs ar- rived in Barbary during the ninth century; not more than a quarter of a million, pure race, now exists.

The difiquities in the future of Algeria are to obtain new lands, either by purchase or concession; the fear of insurrection, thereby necessitating omedism | the presence of a army, which in the eyent of a European war would have to bs recalled; the facilities for quitting the colony in case of fallure; climatric influences. It is as impossible to push the aboriginals towards induce them to rally to the ism, and ends in absolutism; however the Ka- byles, while followers of the Koran, are essen- Wally democratic. Renan says the Kabyles constitute the only society where police, ad- ministration and go and are made by the people thems2ives. The ‘Spaniards come from the Balearic Isles and the towns of the coast of Spain; they are chiefly kitchen gardeners, vine wWers and artisans; the Germans belong lost Exclusively to Bavarla and Baden, and are bankers and agriculturists, There is this common fact to record, that in Algerla births among all the nationalities are more prolific than tn oid Eu- rope, Sarahs even have a chance.

Suicides are of late confined to lovers, whose parents will not annibilate time and space to make them happy. Before appt themselves, they generally indulge in a hearty meal. Dr. Greletty states, imitation is the cause of may suicides, and that the press ought not to publish accounts of such. An editor repiles, suicides are not more prevaleat now thaa Dde- fore the existence of newspapers. Zola objects to a storm being imitated on the stage In his pew play.
