T'w'fT *4 i in ^ . Maanr? f?r the Garden. Hen manure, when mixed with enough soil to work fine, has special fitness for the onion crop, as it can be applied to ' the surface where ^ ran ted, has no weed seeds, and is exceedingly valuable, being little less than guano. Leached ashes have an especial value ! - on sandy soils, and produce most effect upon onions, potatoes, corn, and the j root crops. Their value is lasting, and ! the effect of a liberal application will be noticed for years, and if not to be hanled ' more than three mi.es their use is profit able. Unleached ashes ]iave a most marked effect when appLed broadcast over onions parti} grown?in fact, it is one of the most valuable special manures for this crop, and is worth for this pur, ^pdse twice the amount paid by soapmakers. For all garden crops they are valuable ; potatoes, turnips, beets, and peas deriving most benefit next to | , onions. Lime is of most \alue on rich old soils, ; its effect being to unlock and release fertility already in IJio soil, but inactive or insoluble. Heroe, upon poor soils ' - it may sometimes do more harm than good, but used upon rich old garden soils its use occasionally will produce astonishing results. Super phosphate of lime produces a ; very quick effect, and besides the fertility it adds to a soft soil, the rapid de-, velopment it adds in plant life enables the roots to lay hold of much food they j | would not otherwise. In the garden it > is of special value to hasteu growth , while plants are still small and unable , yet to reach coarser manures, and also to touch up and bring forward any portions of crops winch seem to need I \ farther help. Wh:Je depend! g chiefly oil stable and green manures, we always ftud profitable use for more or less super-phosphate. In the garden laid plaster is exceed-t, iugly variable in its effects. Borne of the most marked benefits from its use havo been noticed upon vines dur- j ing $ drought. If applied over the {, surface of the hill and vines during a {( drought so seveie that the leaves droop I, at midday, they will, in a couple of days, ( show no signs of drooping, bnt exhibit;. unusual vigor. t ^ Rosebud Parties. The New York correspondent of the ! ( Elmira Advertiser gives the following > description of a New York party where 1 young girls make liheir first appearance J i in society : 11 But for deepest; dissipation, go to a t rosebud party, to which all the ladies \ ] invited are seeing their first season in society?that is, if you can get a card for it No favor dispensed by a kind j and charm id g hostess is so ooveted as an invitation to her rosebnd party, for the compliment bears on the face of it that she considers yon one of the eligibles of her acquaintances. Going, yon find the drawing-rooms ?nobody says parlors any more, except an old fashioned fellow like myself, we take so closely after the English?hong with fern, smilax and Spirea, feathering from mantel and cornice, baskets of half-blown roses on every stand, and scores of debutantes in pink and erearc color floating about, all the mischief they learned at Mrs. Meares' or Madame Chegarays', at $500 a quarter, fresh in their pretty heads. These pretty bacclianals, fresh from uptown boarding schx>ls, waltz the wildest, flirt the deepest, and sip champagne the most defiantly of any belles afloat, unless we except a few of our pretty married women?and do this with more i freedom than they will ever find at com- ! tuand again. ; Why he Refused. Chief Justice Ryan, of the supreme court of Wisconsin, refused to admit Miss Lavinia Goodell to the bar of that court. He concludes his reasons for the refusal as folioife : * * * So we find no statutory authority for the admission of females to the bar of any court of this State. And, with all the respect and sympathy for this lady which all men owe to all good j women, we cannot regret that we do not. We cannot but think the common ! law wise in excluding women from the profession of the law. The profession enters largely into the well beiDg of society, and to be honorably filled and safely to society exacts the devotion of j life. The law of nature destines and ! qualifies the female sex for the bearing i and nurture of the children of our race and for the custody of the homes of the world and their maintenance in love and honor, ?nd all lifelong callings of : women inconsistent with these radical j and social duties of their sex, as in the profession of the law, are departures from the order of nature, and, when voluntary, treason agaiflst it. The cruel chances of life sometimes baffle both sexes, an d may leave women free from the peculiar duties of their sex. These may need employment, and should be welcomed to any not derogatory to their | sex and its proprieties, or inconsistent with the good order of society. But it is publio policy to provide for the sex, not for its superfluous members ; and not to tempt women from the proper duties of their sex by opeuing to them duties peculiar to ours. There are many employments in life not unfit for female character. The profession of law is surely not one of these. The peculiar qualities of womanhood, its gen- : tie graces, its quick sensibility, its' tender susceptibility, its purity, its1 if,q amntinnal immilses. its subordination of bard reason to sympathetic feeling, are surely not qualifications for forensic strife. Nature has I tempered women as little for the judicial; conflicts of the courtroom as for the physical - conflicts of the battlefield. Womanhood is modeled for gentler and better things. And it is not the saints of the world who chiefly give employment to our profession. It has essentially and habitually to do with all1 that is selfish and extortionate, knavish and criminal, coarse and brutal, repnl- j sive and obscene inhuman life. * * * This is bad enough for men. The City Loafer. There are thousands of loafers in the | city, says the New York Sun. They are usually sleek and well-fed looking fellows, and the function of most of them is to stand at street corners and gape at the honest people who hurry by on bu&ine&H errands. Some of them are supported, not by wives, but with the i gains of women's shame. They are as I vile a lotof the offscourings of humanity I as could auywhere in the world be scraped together. The inhabitants of prisons and penitentiaries are honorable men in comparison. These grabbers of their wives' earnings and traders in women's frailty are too cowardly to J steal. The law may not be able to lay its hand on these contemptible sneaks, but they ctn bo so far punished as to be \ turned out of the society of every man who honestly earns his bread and sap-; ports his family. Yet we hear of speci- i mens of this fonl tribe who use the idleness they enjoy to figure in politics, i They should be hustled out of every po litical meeting and hissed by all decent men. When a man has no known occupation, is not the possessor of wealth, and makes no effort to gain a livelihood, and yet wears good clothes, always has | money, and every day is one of leisure j to him, spot the fellow, pass him by, have nothing to do with him, and pay no more attention to his words than you would to the protestations of a sneak thief whom you caught carrying off your overcoat. A sneak thief, indeed, is a gentleman compared with a brute who lives in lazy loaferism on the hardearned money of his wife. City politics afford a well-worked field j for many of these vermin. They spout at ward meetings, are the statesmen of j the gin mills, and the manipulators at the street corners. They force themselves on candidates for office, and meddle with all the smaller details of muni-! cipal politics. "Sports" they call themselves, but their sporting is at the I cost of women's weary labor or women's : degrading employment. There is about | as much of manhood in them as there is of blosd in a turnip. If they were marched up daily to be kicked by the | decent men of the city, they would get j only a small part of their deserts. ?????????????? Spring Silks. The soft lustrous Louisine silks are imported in low-price qualities for over- I dresses for the spring. These come in j taffeta designs in small checks of white ; or ecru with black or any dark color, and are sold for one dollar a yard. Good taffeta silks in these patterns are bought for the same price at present, and these should be chosen when the entire dress ! is made of one material. Louisine silk | is preferred for overdresses above plain gros grain. Damasse Louisines are new this sea- i son. They are imported in cream, ; black, blue, brown, and mvrtle creen ! Bhades to match the plain silks that will | be worn with them. A heavier fabric than this, called serge broderie, is twilled silk quaintly brocaded in antique designs, and also in more recent Louis : Qnatorze patterns. The ground is in- i variably ecru, but the figures are of bold ' contrasting color. The Henri Quatre ; brocades shown for parts of costumes 1 ( are as thick and rich looking as the : t stuffs used by upholsterers for furniture | ( covers. The oldest time colors are re- j vived in them as well as old designs. 1 They usually consist of but one ooior, j the grotlnd and figure being the same, j1 but in some of the varieties mentioned 1 above the figure is thrown into relief by 1 being in oontrast with the background, i The Lesson of Honesty. 1 Gen. Hawley, in his address before the New England Press Association, j * ?id, in closing his remarks: Next to ;he evil of having all public men iD this ( and corrupt, next to the evil of having , ( ill our governmental affairs in the hands 1 )f men venal and weak and narrow, de-' 1 ranching public life and carrying it j 1 iown to destruction, is the calamity of i laving all the young men believe it is i lo, whether it be so or not.

Bishop Haven describes the ceremony , of feet washing as he recently saw it per-1 formed in a oolored Baptist church in j New Orleans : After the administration ! the minister took off his coat. Off wont | 4 dozen other coats?those of his dea-: x>ns, I presume. The whole chnrcli ! svas in oommotion. The basins began j to fly. "Bring back the basins,"! shouted the pastor. A brother stood i behind the water pails and dealt out a j jmall gourdful to each basin. Brother ' md sister went on their knees before brother and sister. The shoe and stocking of the right foot were taken off, and i slight wash and wipe completed the ceremony. Then the one with the jleansed foot knelt and washed the 3leanser's foot. They went am mg the pews, and it was as modest as such an ict could be. Little children washed i little children. This ceremony is not 3on fined to colored peoplo. They learn it from the whites, of whom there are or irere many churches in the South. They ire called "Primitive Baptists." The argest society, it is said, in Atlanta before the war was of this sect. It was broken up by the war, but is reorganizing. They are devout in this duty, as ;hey understand it, and seem to get ihouting happy in discharging it. Chinese Cottons.

An economical young man in Chicago, who is cultivating the affections of on eligible young woman, and considers it j quite enough to have to pay for theater ; tickets and supper without going to the j expense of a hack, has contrived an in- j genious plan to satisfy his sweetheart. He turns the conversation upon the j frightful prevalence of smallpox and the i recklessness with which they are con- j veyed to the hospital, instancing a case that came to his ears that very day how a young gentleman and lady of the highest family took a carriage to go to the theater a few evenings before?a carriage that had been employed but a few hours i before in carrying a smallpox patient to the pesthouse, the consequence of which was that they were both smitten with the loathsome disease, the young man dying in fearful torments, and the young woman, if she recovers, which is doubtful, losing one eye and being disfigured for life. By this time that woman turns as pale as she conveniently can,* and her hair would be standing on end where it not jute, and so when it is time to go j to the theater, and the young man says he will step around and get a carriage, she says : 11 Oh, by no means?not for worlds. Let us go in the street cars, for we will see so many funny people, and it will save so much more money for us when we go housekeeping," and the young man, after a faint snow of opposition, yields : " My darling, of course if you prefer it, etc. Her Special Attraction. A brother savant recently rallied Professor Tyndall upon the subject of his rumored engagement'to a daughter of Lord Hamilton. The great scientist didn't deny the soft impoafihment. Encouraged thereby his friend pursued the pubject with the view of discovering what special attraction could have conquered a man who had so long resisted the fascinations of the sex. "Is she prettier thAn other ladies you liav.4 QpAn 9" IIA ankpfl "No/~' " Is she wittier?" " No." " Is she more cultivated?" "No." "What then is her particular charm ?" "She has less dynamic force," said the professor. Dr. Pieroe's Pleasant Purgative Pellets are so compounded from concentrated principles, extracted from roots and herbs, as to combine in each small grannie, scarcely larger than a mustard seed, as much cathartic power a? is contained in any larger pills for sale in drug stores. They are not only pleasant to take, bat their operation is easy?unattended with any griping pain. They operate without producing any oonetitntionu disturbance. Unlike other cathartics, they do not render the bowels costive after operation, hut, on the contrary, they establish a permanently healthy action. Being entirely vegetable, no particular care is required while usin$ them. $500 reward is offered by the proprietor to any one who will detect in these pellets any calomel or other form of mercury, mineral Soison, or injorioos drag. They are sol3 by rnggists. * Pimples on the face, rough skin, chapped hands, saltrhenm and all cutaneous affections cored, the skin made soft and smooth, by the use of Jcxipeb Tab Soap.

Erery moment of delay make* your oaae more hope j lees, and muoh depends on the judicious choice of remedy. The amount of testimony In favor of Dr. I Schenek's Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for OonAmption, far exceeds all that can be brought to rapport the pre- ' tensions of any other medicine. See Dr. Schenok's 1 Almanac, containing the certifies tee of many persons of the highest respectability, who hare been restored to health, after being pronounced incurable by physicians of acknowledged ability, Schenek's Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences will show; bu the cure is often promoted by the employment of two other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These additional remedies are Schenek's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandyke Pills. By ths timely use of ; these medicines, soeordlng to directions, Dr. Schenck , certifies that most any case of Oonanmptlon may be | cured. Dr. Rcbenok is professionally at his principal office Corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advioe must be addressed I The Markets. NSW TOES.

In noticing the death of a little girl from hydrophobia, the editor of the Richmond Dispatch says : " Was there ever a man who believed his dog wonld bite anybody or could be mad i" Once iu a while there is one. When his dog begins to foam he quickly closes all the doors of his house, thus securing the members of his own valuable family, i while his raging pet goes tearing through the yard of his neighbors or down the street iu pursuit of the numerous legs that are always moviDgthere during busi ness hours. When at length some per- j son whom the brute has attacked goes ( so far as to kill it, the indignation of its I master at once begins to swell, and he j becomes almost as mad as was his i troublesome favorite a short time before, j He threatens prosecution, "juatioe," ; and all sorts of terrible things, and if no court is found to support him in his folly, he will wait and seek vengeance through some other channel, perhaps through some other dog. A Boston Plan. In Boston they have this plan of aiding the poor: A man goes through one or more streets and informs the housekeepers that there will be a collection 01 bread two days hence: On the day appointed a wagon is sent over the route, and the collections are usually over two hundred loaves. The next day there is a collection in another street, and so on during tho week. The bread is taken to the police station, where a daily distribution is made.
