ME HORTICULT ORNAMENTAL GRASSES. ‘ontinent. continuing the subject of ornamenta! we will first talk of Ewlalia, a genus ot ome grasses fur garden or house deco- t from Japan by Thomas Hogs, esq., of which there are but two species under cultivation. Ewlatia Japovica, which is very beautiful, is hardy, robust and perennial, form- fog when well established large clumps with firm but graceful leaves, which are marked with alternate stripes of creamy-white and green, re- sembling the old “ribbon or striped grass” of the garden and presenting quite as much va- riety in the striping. It is, however, a much talier and more erect grower and the leaves are larger and more robust. The flower stalks grow from four to six feet high, terminating with uracefully-curved panicies of light- nm flowers, resembling in form what ‘s known as the Prince of Wales’ Feather. This is of easy cultivation, growing weil in almost any soil or situation; like all other pa 3, it will well repay all the care and atten- jon that may be given it. The elegance of its mes cannot be surpassed by any grass in cul- tion for ornamental purposes, These plumes should be gathered before they are fully ex- ded, tied In small loose bunches and dried shade, when they will retain their form wuty for years. via zebrina, a variety of the above and known as “zebra grass,” is similar in form, habit and flower, but differing materially in the ofits variegation. In the older variety es, according to the usual manner of ution in grasses, have the mai 28 Tun Jengthwise, while in the zebrina variety they’are The leaves present alternate bands and yellowish-white of varying width, h the colors weil defined, and producing var but beautiful effect. Like the fore- | this variety Is perfectly hardy and of the culture. It is withal one of the most ornamental plants for lawn or garden decora- | tion. THE does it refuse to conceal itself, but it ‘s every one who comes within its reach, ind clings desperately to his legs and garments. Its ribs protrude in all directions, like the tent- ot the octopus, and no amount of force or enuity cau compress it into a small space. To «et rid of an old umbrella will be seen, on reflec- tion, to be apparently one of the most abstruse and difficult of problems. It is well established that old umbrellas are not kept in houses. The housewife when ques- tioned as to what has become of any given old umbrella will always reply vaguely, ‘Oh, it has been thrown aw: Of course, this cannot be understood literal, If sixteen million of old umbrellas were thrown into the street every year they would be blown about in clouds much thicker than the ordinary city dust cloud, and there would not be a horse or a pedestrian in existence who had not sustained injuries from old umbreila riba. When the housewife “throws away” an umbrella it unquestionably vanishes, Lut what she calls “throwing away,” Is obvious- ly a peculiar and mysterious act. Hasty thinkers may assume that old um- brellas are cast out into vacant lota, where they are promptly devoured by goats. This may seem Sp womgerrs theory to any one but a zoologist. The latter knows, however, that while the goat te | be roughly described as an omniverous animal he is not umbrelliverous. Undoubtedly goats do eat hoop-skirts, and in the days when hoop-skirts were fashionable thousands of goats were fattened upon them exclusively. The umbrella has so many of the characteristics of the hoop-skirt that one would naturally suppose that it would tempt the ap- petite of goats, but it is a well-ascertained fact that for some unexplained reason no goat will touch an umbrella, except when suffering from starvation. Prof. Tyndall kept a goat for seven days without foed, and offered him an old um- brella every day, but the goat would not touch it until the seventh day, when, being overcome with hunger, he ate three ribs and part of the handle, and died two hours later with symptoms closely resembling those foot by strychnine. This experiment may regarded as conclusive, and we must acquit the goat of bes beanie in causing the disappearance of um- rellas. To some extent it Is possible that old umbrellas 1s nebadosa \s a handsome annual grass, stems from twelve to fifteen inches | o ten whorls of long hair, nated by the flowers, the | and feathery pan- ore the seeds are | Tried in the can be preserved a | and. either in their natural state or | ach used by milliners and artificial T wed of this crass should be r moist situa- t success in its | is the most | although all I grass, useful the growin Tarxe which form close, flat, ant objects with u tat allow them to slightest stir of wind.

There is positively no theory which satisfactorily ac- counts for the disappearance of old umbrellas, and it is the imperative duty of selentific persons to invent a theory without further delay. Truly, we live In a world of mystery, and no brella, and ask himself where it will go when it is worn out without feeling that he stands on the shgre of an ocean of unexplored truths, — so TOLD IN HIS OWN WAY. Uncle Mose’s Testimony im the Cele- brated Trin! of Beb ‘Tompkins. From Texas Siftings. A colored man named Bob Tompkins was on | trial last week before an Austin justice for as- sault. Old Uncle Mose was one of the leading witnesses for the state. The main point was whether or not Tompkins had given any prove- cation to bring on the row. “Now, tell this jury all you know about the affair,” said: the justice. “Kin I tell de jury all I knows in my own way?” asked old Mose. “Yes, tell the jury what you know in your own way.” Old Mose turned solemnly to the expectant jJarymen. “Gem'mens ob de jury, you am de meanest- lookin’ crowd eher I seed——” “Stop!” bawled the attorney for the state. Your honor will incarcerate the witness for contempt of court!” howled the attorney for the prisoner. The foreman of the jury got up and asked the court to protect the jury from insult. “Witness, ifyou insult the jury again I shall certainly resort to extreme measures.” “I'm not gwine ter consult nobody ef you don’t interfere wid me,” said old Mose, sul- lenly. “Proceed.” “Gem'mens ob de jury, you am de meanest- lookin’ crowd eber I ‘seed outside ob a ‘ail_—_—”” The prosecuting attorney. jumped up and down. The foreman of the jury once more howled “Your honor!” The constable laid his heavy hand on the collar of old Mose, when the latter calmly repeated to the jury: “You am de meanest-lookin’ crowd eber I seed outside ob a jail. Dem was de berry words de prisoner dar used when he fust come inter de bar-room, and which led to de row.” The foreman sat down quick. The attorneys doubled up like jackknives with suppressed laughter. His honor smiled. The spectators roared; while old Mose, with a surprised look ot childish innocence, once more said emphatically to the cowed jurymen: grow with so little care or attention; in fact, it seems to rejoice in neglect. It may be seen fn its integrity in dry gravelly banks, where one would searcely think anything could grow.

A few words more regarding the preservation of grasses for winter bouquets. It is necessary, first, to cut them when coming into flower; thgt is to say, when the pollen is first visible and be- fore any seeds are formed. They can be dried best by sticking the stems in boxes of sand so that they will not crowd each other. Place the boxes ina dry, airy and perfectiy clean place. “Wild craases,” now so highly esteemed, snould, of course, be treated in the same manner. F. A. Benson. ee What Becomes of Old Umbrellas? From the N. ¥. Times. Rain brings out the umbrellas. This may not bea profound observation, but it compareg favorably with the proverb that night brings out the stars, both in profundity and originality. Yesterday being a rainy day in this city and its suburbs. umbrellas swarmed in the streets and ripped all over people in the street cars. Most of these umbrellas were comparatively new, and the fact suggests the question, What becomes of old umbrellas ? There are at poae in this country at least twenty-four million of private umbrellas, ex- clusive of those remaining unsold in manu- factories and shops. Each umbrella owner buys at least one new umbrella every year, his pre- Yious one having been stulen, lost, or worn out. We thus see that there is an annual apparent disappearance of twenty-four million of um- brellas, and the moment we fully comprehend this fact we perceive the importance of the ques- tion, What becomes of these umbrellas ? We inay admit that many of them are stolen. Men who would not steal a one cent re Stamp will, nevertheless, feel no hesitation in Feizine upon any umbrella that is temporarily Peparated from owner and in carrying it off With triumph. About one-sixth of the title to all umbrellas now in active use is probably of this semi-fetonious nature. There is said to be & rich umbrella seller in this city whose.stock costs him absolutely nothing, since it is collect- ed by playing upon the consciences of hiv fellow- men. He walks along Broadway, and when he sees a desirable umbrella he stops the man who is carrying ft and remarks: “Excuse me. my friend, but you have my umbrella.” At least every fourth man thus stopped knows that his title to the umbrella in his possession will not endure investigation, and so he hastily surren- ders the umbrella, remarking as he does so: “I was looking for an owner tor it, and intended to send it to policeeadquarters this afternoon.” On avery overcast and threatening day this in- [ page collector—who is always followed by a oy with a hand-cart—gathers in from 75 to 100 Umbrellas, which he atterward sells at the usual Tvtail price.

In the city of Newport, Rhode Island, a pla- card is put upon every house where there isa case of scarlet fever, diphtheria or small-pox As none of these diseases are spread by fright, there is good reason in this. Such epidemics are spread by ignorance by allowing children and frown people to come and goin the midst | of contagion without giving them the opportu- nity to take precautions. one prom patient, : or jous visitors, where carpets, cutains aa all furniture, &c,, may convey the disease, are itive centers of contagion, and should be for both scarlet fever and diphtheria as distinctly forbidden as small-pox funerals now are. The isolation of Legs imany ponte’ anes oe gion has made appearance is only le when an entire floor can be vacated, and in the upper of the house.

From the fact that the above letter is genuine, the ka may be interested in knowing what has become of the men mentioned by Jesse. Clell Miller was shot dead at the time of the Northfield bank robbery by a citizen of the place, who, from his office across the street, saw the action of the robbers. Sol Reed, it is claimed, is a table farmer in Clay county, and that he enjoysthe confidence of the community. Ex-Marshal Liggett thinks that at one time he was a horse thief, but could not remember. Marshal Murphy states that he never has heard of Reed being connected with horse stealing. Jack Keen, alias Tom Webb, was sent to the penitentiary for complicity in the Huntington robbery, and is now confined in prison. He was sentenced to eight years. Keen proposed the robbery. * Tom McDaniels was killed a short time after the robbery at Huntington in Kent ‘y by two brothers, who, hearing of the fii; of the rob- lookout for bers through the state, were on them. Wm. McDaniels met his death near Lawrence, Kan. A few days previous he had been arrested in Kansas City for fast driving. On his person were found over $1,000. Learning that he was a noted criminal, and wanted for train robbery in Kansas, officers took him to Lawrence, and placed him in jail. From there he escaped, and a few days after was shot by a farmer. ge LAND ILLS IN LITELE SKYE. Grim Aspects ef Life and Seurces of the Troubles.

The daily round of a cottar’s life is somethi after the following: In winter time, when most of the men are generally at home, they employ themselves in gathering the sea-weed which is abundantly cast upon the western shores.

The women assist in this rude species of cultivation, as also in the sowing and harrowing of the ground. The next duty is to cut and stack the peat for the ensuing winter's tuel, to hoe the patches of potatoes, aud.to make things tidy generally. Then has thetime arrived for the annual migration to the east coast fishing,which lasts generally six weeks. But, befure return- ing home, most of the men hire themselves for another month to the sheep farmers at smear- ing, wool clipping, and other work.

Others go to | fish on the coast of Ireland to increase there the sums already amassed, but the majority return | home in the autumn. The money earned in fishing is expended in paying the rent, and in liquidating whatever debts may have been in- | curred by their families to the neighboring shop-keefers during the previous winter. In autuinn the crops—when there are any—are reaped. new clothes are bought, and stores laid in for the coming winter, when the same round | begins again. Oat-meal, potatoes and fish, with | an occasional Sheep or cow killed as a joint stock transaction among three or four of the | netghboring families, form the food; and when there is endugh of it a strong, hardy, handsome Tace manages to exist on the ungrateful soil. However inferior, and perhaps ragged, may be the clothes in which the crofter performs his daily labor, he possesses a decent Sunday suit, which in respectability of appearanceisfar above anything of which the average Londoner or English farm laborer ean boast. And the women, too, each own a carefully preserved tartan plaid anda blue gown of stout homespun for wear at kirk or when they visit the neighboring villages. And inthe long winter evenings the neighbors will assemble in €ach others’ cabins, when the elders among thein and those versed in the old clan lore will eagertain the others with thrilling tales of the days gone by; how Red Donald this or Black Ronald that performed such and such a prodigy of valor in fighting such and such a clan. Ghost stories and others flavoring of witchcraft and such like uncanny arts al intently listened ta, and to these the screaming gales and boisterous weather of a western winter perhaps form fitting accompani- ments. Occasionally the sad account of the Highland evictions of fifty years azo will be re- jated by some patriarch who was an eye-witness, who suffered, mayhap, and who wiil refer to former neighboring townships the traces of which are not yet obliterated, and to the people he knew in his youth, who have long disap- peared out of ken across the mysterious At- lantic. In this way do they preserve the tra- dition of the days when they ‘held the soil under something like tribal tenure: No doubt in the wintry wastes of Canada the same stories are told, and the Hebridean exiles there are, as Campbell says, taught to regard the old country “with love that scorns the lapse of time, and ties that stretch beyond the deep.” In the manner described above, when a croft is of proper size, its tenant can hope to make a fairly comfortable living. Land in the north is calculated to produce generally three times therent. Thus acroft rented at £10 ought to give a return to its occupant of about £20, and, adding tothat the £15or so earned in other pursuits, the total of £35 is sufficient tor a fam- ily, reared after the fashion I have attempted to depict, to live on; but, as has been shown in a former letter, the yast majority of crofts, say in Skye, are under the £10 rental, and hence the grievances which are now cropping up. Not only have the landlords throughout the Highlands been gradually restricting the graz- ing rights—the most valuable portion of a croft—and in not a few instances raising the rents, but the crofts themselves have been di- minishing in size consequent on the evil of sub- division; the result, in short, of an Increasing population, and an increasing demand for the moors for sporting purposes. As one of the fters told me, “we are getting too Braes cto! crowded,” and the fact 1s that if it were not that railways and steamers haverendered the labor market eagier of access, and by cheapened transit enhanced the profits of fishing, the crofter difficulty would have come to the front years ago. A few details descriptive of the visit F paid yesterday to the disaffected district of Braes may prove interesting. As we drove from Por- tree along the road leading to the crofts, our guide, himself a crofter, pointed out to us on the neighboring hillsides the evidences of former cultivation, where numerous crofts once supported a hardy population, now sent over the seas to make room for sheep, There was a bitter ring in the tone in which he remarked that the memory of that clearance would never die out. He’ knew well, and was ud of the fact, that--between 1780 and 1810, that critical period in the history of Great Britain, the island of Skye alone sent to the wars 10,000 fighting men, 600 commant officers, 48 colonels and 21 generals. ‘And what do they tell us now?” he asked, “that we are no good here; that we are cumbrances to the ground, and that.we had better go to America. Yet even with its reduced population Skye would readily give tothe naval and militig reserve over a thou- sand men if stations were established in the fsland.” On the road we sev- eral of the crofters on their way to Portree, Tall, bearded men they were, of the old Highland typé, who eyed us suspicously,un- certain, whether we were corering, writs, summonses, or other contrivances of the Bastonach law Which they had vent a te del . townships themselves, tha scenes are three clusters of Hiighiand bothles sean nna hai,coch nthe Sean ae of from three to eight acres o! ground.
