The House of Representatives, at Indianapolis, organized Tursday with the election of Hon. Mason J Ni black, of Knox, as presiding officer. The Indiana .Legislature is now down to business. Both houses are Democratic. Now let us have a good, stringent election law.— Give Dudley is,n a black eye, and choke the life out of the schoolbook and all other monopolies. —«»— Robert S. Robertson, the republican pretender, gave notice that he was anxious to preside over the deliberations of the Indiana Senate, but that body selected its presiding officer, and permitted that gentleman to occupy the rotunda. —■ ■ George W. Childs, editor and proprietor of the Philadelphia Ledger, gladdened the hearts of his employes with Christmas gifts which cost about $40,000. One old employe found SSOO in his envelope. The Democrats who voted for General Jackson propose to cele brate Old Hickory’s birthday in Indianapolis on the 15th of March next. Kno., Ledger: The Shelbyville Time:-, a paper started to run out the Shelbyvi.’le Democrat, has turned up its toes and quit. The editor, James McGill, says “the Democrat is too well established and has too many friends to be run out; that it takes money to run a paper, an l that the sore-heads, when money was needed, did not materialize.” The editor is still a good democrat and will always be found voting tli democratic ticket-

The remains reached Rensselaer on the 11 oclock train, to-day, and will be interred in the Crockett Cemetery to-mor-row. Mother Crockett had been for many years a resident of Jasper county, and her true motherly nature had endeared he to all.

In her youth she she was a -esidentof Kilmarnock, and she had a distinct recollection of Robert Burns, and of the occasion on which she saw him. — When sh 6 was between four and five years of age she accompanied her mother to the houze of a relative who resided in Nelson street, KLmarnok, and while there, Burns uas visiting some of his acquaintances a few doors off His presence in the neighborhood excited quite a sensation, and when he left the neighbors trooped out t > look at him, young Martha Brown among the rest. He wore a Tam o’Shanter bonnet. His geueral appearance was that of a well-to do countryman, and Martha, tho’ only a child, vas impressed with his tall and sturdy form, his swarthy complexion and kindly expression. Without exchanging remarks with anyone, he proceeded down'the stieet, followed by the gaze of the curious crowd. Burns visited on this occasion Mr. and Mrs. McEwen, whose maiden namte was Elizabeth Black. Elizabeth is supposed to have been the heroine of one of the songs which Burns wrote on t e eve of his intended departure for the West Indies.

Wedding Flowers.

For recent weddings some beautiful floral designs have been made, some of Which are novel. At one, the bouquet of the bride was composed of Lily of the Valley, several hundred sprays being used in this one buneh. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were of Crimson King Carnations, fringed with “Maid of Guernsey” chrysanthemums; each bunch contained 150 carnations, and the edging of the wild white petals of the chrysanthemums was exquisitely lovely. At a charming wedding, the bride and bridegroom stood under a wishbone of flowers in heroic size whieh was swung from one end of the draw-ing-room from a stem fringed with autumn leaves. The top of the wishbone was studded with brilliant carnations of La Purete variety. The ends were also of this flower. The limbs of the wishbone were w veil with white carnations. Smilax garlanded the banisters. The plant decoration was small but choice. The bride carried a bunch of Mcrmet roses aid the bridesmaids’ bouquets were of crimson King Carnations and Perle des Jartlin rosebuds. For another wedding, a lattice screen was made to cover the long mirror before which the marriage took place, This screen was composed of coils of smilax plaided, and the effect of ihia light lattice was very beautiful. Over the top was suspended a large basket of roses»and spring flowers. There was a straw vase filled with pink rosebuds and mignonette, with a cluster of Jacqueminots at the center. TJie novelty in ornamental grov. mg plants for the house is ti, . ai.ging si ell of Lycopodium, whieh is extrenu lv pretty. Some of the shells are ordinary conch shells: others are made of glazed plaster, and colored with foam tints. The moss is arranged to droop, and it has a light and refreshing effect. Brackets filled with Lycopodium add grace and cheerfulness to any apartment. The only care required is sprinkling as often as the moss dries. Growing ferns are the fashionable ornament for the table. Recent adornments for an evening reception* consisted of a floral piece representing a musical score, the bars woven in flowers on a white background, the whole supported by a floral harp. Over the mirror was a network of delicate smilax, which crossed the glass in deep festoons, on which rested tiny humming-birds and butterflies. Against the wall, on one side, was a lyre, on the other a harp. Around and on the mantle were arranged handsome plants; amid which stood a piano made of flowers. Over the folding doors leading to the library was suspended, from cordons of smilax, a flower violin and flute. Birch-bark canoes, lined with tin and planted with ferns, or filled with cut* .flowers and trailing vines, suspended from the chandelier, have a very pretty effect, in conjunction with other decora toons, Jfor evening entertainments, — Floral World, r Funuum who burn green wood are probably not aware of the waste of hast The sap uses up—that is, carries off in a latent state—a very large portion of the host produced by its carbon, or its dry material. As much man and team power is required to haul three or four cords of green wood os for six or eight oords of dry wood. The lesson is: cuf the fuel and split it as finely as it is to be used, m the grove; haul it boms when well dried, and keep it in a dry place for use. It will be worth far more for beating purposes than if burned green, or wet, or damp even. The only exception to tins advice is, when bj reason of easier hauling on snow, and on account of the leisure of men and teams in winter, it tuay be expedient to haul borne the green wood then; but in all cases let it be well dried before it is used.

In a file twelve inches long, th. fint six inches from the poin& does the most Of the work. In a machine-cut file the teeth of this part are shorter, and in practice will not bite as well as they will farther up. This is because of the shape of the files, in many instances making it impossible for the to work on all parts with the same effectiveness. Out of a dozen or more ma-chine-cut files you will not find more than one that is perfect-looking, and t*ery few machine-cnt files will bite ae well as the hand-cut article. For this tsason their teeth break out less easily —because thev won't bite.
