both from home and foreign consumption.

Many of these Senators hnve peculiar
habits of amusing themselves while they
sit Jn the chamber. Senator Hoar is
alwjtys swinging a bunch of keys, and
he Becms to be uneasy when he does
not' have them in his hands. Ingalls
has'two pairs of glasses for his eyes.
One is a pair of spectacles which I
judge are for near-sightedness, anti the
other is a pair of gold eye-glasses which
he uses to read by. Ingalls is very fond
of playing with these eye-glasses, lie
holds them up by the black string with
which they are fastened, and twirls
them around between his thumb and
finger, holding his elbow on the arm or
the seat while lie looks about the Senate.
Senator Mitchell is a great letter-writer,
and his desk is always covered with pa-
pers. He scribbles away all day, and
he seems to never have an idle mo-
ment.
William M. Evarts is a piece of par
petual motion. He never sits still, anti
bobs from one seat to another, carrying
laughter with him, and bringing abroad
grin across the jaws of every Senator he
meets, bv his good stories. Mahone is
another man who moves about the Sen
ate a good deal. His walk is a sort of
a strut, and the atmosphere about him
seems permeated with thé word
“game.” He has a way of throwing
back his head and waving his long
beard with déliant air. He often pulls
this beard, grasping a whole handful at
the chin, and twisting the hair slowly as
he goes downward the full foot of its
length. He affects some eccentricities
of dress. He is noted for wearing I
clothes of the finest quality, and he oc
casionally has ruffles on his fine linen
shirts. He wears his vest unbuttoned I
very often, and his coat is cut in the
shape of a bell, with skirts full enough
for hips twice his size.

A Somewhat Venerable Chestnut in an En

One of “the boys” now hanging out
in Detroit was nabbed in Pennsylvania a
few months ago for some swindling
game, and was locked up in a county
jail pending examination. He was the
only prisoner in the building, and hu
hadn’t been in there fifteen minutes
before he felt that an hour’s work would
let him out. It was a tumble-down af
fair, built half a century ago, and tho
turnkey was a young quaker. A he

“1 think I shall place

honor not to escape.”
“Allrght,” replied the prisoner, “I
want to stay right here and see this case
through.” .
He had the run of the corridor and an
open cell, and about two hours after
supper he had no trouble wrenching a
couple of bars off the corridor window.
Waiting for the ¡ail to get quiet he lifted
the sash anti climbed out on the sill for
a drop to the ground, but at that instant
he heard a voiee’froni beneath him say
ing:
“On second thought I concluded that
thy honor might not he as safe as mv

A Solomonic Decision.
There was a social gathering at the
Yerger mansion. The crowd was pretty
jolly. They were plavmg the game of
forfeits with kisses as forfeits. The
question arose whether kissing was in
the nature of picas ire or work. An
old bachelor maintained that it was in
the nature of work. At last it was
decided to call up Sam Johnsing. the
colored servant, and have him d<cide
the question.
••Is kiss'ng pleasure or work, Sam?”
asked Mrs. Yerger.
“I bleeves hit must be a pleasure, for
ef hit was work you all would be spect-

PRIZE TOMATOES.
The picture shows th» best looking heap
of tomatoes on exhibition. Two kinds are
in the pile, the Acme and the Livingston’s
Favor! a Both are as smooth as an apple,
quite without the-crinkles and ridges that
make the old fashioned tomato a burden.
The Acme seems to be tho first favorite.
It. has more of a pumlish tinge than the
Livingston, anl seems perhap« a little

For some reason the show of corn was
very poor. In*respect to ether thingy it
was plain to be seen, what every lody has
not yet learned, that the oil and well-
known varieties of both fruits and vege
tables will do to depend on, every time.
Tao following oil varieties are still the

Fall Planting of Bulbs.
Our Country Homo. |
By all means plant some bulb3 thia fall.
In no way can you expend a small amount
of money in the garden to make it give you
more satisfaction. Tulips, hyacinths, cro
cuses raid narcissus bloom early in the sea-
eon, before any other plants are large
enough or advancel enough to produce
flowers in any satisfactory amount. They
are so brilliant, and keep their beauty so
long, that no garden can afford to be with
out them. Two or three dollars will buy
quite a quantity of mixed bulb nowadays,
and the mixed collections are quite as satis-
factory to meat lovers of flowers as the
named bulbs are, which will quite likely
cost as much, singly, as a dozen of the un
named ones, and provd to be no more beau
tiful
These bulbs should be procured and
planted in September and October. Select
a place for them w here the ground can be
kept free from water in spring. If not nat
urally well drained, remove the soil to the
depth of a foot or more, and put in brick,
old bones. broken crockery, and anything
which will hold up the soil you have re-
niov <1, sufficiently, when it is returned, to
allow all surplus water to drain out of it.
Make this soil rich with old and perfectly
rot-ten manure from a yard in which cows
have been kept. No other is so good fcr
I ulbs. Incorporate it thoroughly with the
ea r i h
in
which
your
bulbs
are
to l»e
planted.
This is all
there
is to be done, until you set out your
bulbs. When you do that, put the larger
on »8, like tulips and hyacinths, four or five
inches under the soil and about eight inches
apa -t.
Th« smaller ones can be planted
more closely together, and not quite as
dee;». When co d weather sets in, it is well
to cover the beds with some coarse litter
from the barnyard. This must, lie removed
as soon as the plants begin to come up in
spring. After they have bloomed annuals
