VlcVs Monthly. iStrouf?, healthy plants of the verbena, that wiil bloom obumlantiy, can be raided in no way so well as from seed. Plants from cuttings are never ho strong as those from seed, and are more liable to attacks of rust and insects, and do not bloom as well. Seed sown this month or next, according to location, north or south, will be in time to raise strong plants for spring setting. Plants can be raised in the green house, hot-bed. or ifi the window, if properly cared for. Taken shallow box, two inches or a little more in depth, and fill nearly full of soil composed of equal parts of leaf mold und turfy loam, mixed well together, and a little sund added, and all sieved so as to take out the coarse material; sprinkle the soil and let it stand for an hour, and then sow the seed by sprinkling it on tl surface in straight rows about an inch and a half apart, and then cover by sprinkling some sand about a quarter of an inch deep over all. Cover the box with a pane of glass and keep it in a moderately warm place. Supply water by sprinkling in the gentlest manner when needed. In two or three weeks the little plants will show themselves, and then they must be given light and air, and carefully ten Jed until large enough to transplant into another box or pot, where they will stand an inch or two apart. Grown in this way for a mouth they may then be again transplanted about three incites apart, to stand until removed to the open ground. Before planting out, it is well to harden them off by giving air freely. Although it is best to keep clear of latefrosts.it is well to get tho plants out into their beds early, watching the weather and giving protection in times of danger. A Day Slow In €mtug. Tbo GrupMc.

After further remarks, he referred to the pending tariff bill as a great national measure, and, concluding, said: “In the uume of God, let the statesmen from the prairie States, who have no water and expect to get none, allow the House to expedite the ‘passage nf this lull,** Mr. O’Neil’s motion, which directs the Secretary of the Navy, in the case of work not completed in the navy yard, to invite proposal from all shipbuilder* whose yards are fatly eqnlpped, wn adopted. Main' motions were made and rejected, and finally the monitor clause was agree.l to in the following form: “The money shall be applied by the Secretary of the Navy, under the appropriate bureaus, for completing, in occordanoe with the recommendations of the naval advisory board, the engines and machinery of the double-turreted ironclad*, which said board may advise to be first completed in the government navy yards, under directimo of the Navy Department, by officers and employes of the government and not bv contractors, provided he can do work of the same quality in the navy yards as cheaply and thoroughly and with us much advantage to the government; and provldedthat.lt lie shall notdecide to do this work in the navy yards of the United Stales, he shall then invite proposals frou all American ship-builders whose shipyards are fully equipped for repairing or building iron or steel ships, and from constructors of engine*, boilers and machinery,and shall build the same by new contract, or otherwise, as the Secretary ol the Navy may thiok beat for the interest of the government. |The sum of $450,000 is appropriated for the purpose.] But. the execution of no new contract shall be entered upon for the completion of either ol these ve.sels until the terms rheivor shall he approved by tlie advisory board, who shall approve only such contracts as may be to the best advantage of the government, and fair and reasonable according to the lowest market price for similar work, from responsible aud competent

bidders, and at a total cost not to exceed the union ins staled by the advisory board in iis fnll reporc required by act Ang. 5, 1882: and the Secretary of the Navy shall take possession of the double turreted iron-clads, and ir ho thinks best, remove the same to the government nary yards; and he shall uncertain the amounts which ought to be paid to contractors severally for the use and occupation of their yards with said ships, and for the care tnereof, and report the same to Congress, with ali the foots in connection therewith. ’’ Mr. Harris, of Massachusetts, under direction of the naval committee, offered an amendment in the nature of a substitute, appropriating #2,300.000 for one steel cruiser of not less thau 5,000 or more than 6,oooious displacement. sl.352,900 Tor one of not less than 4.000 tons displacement. $2,587,500 for three of not less than 2,500 tons displacement; $430,000 for a dispatch boat having hu average speed of not loss than fifteen knots per hour. $35,000 for a tornedn boat not less than one hnndrei long, and sl,161.000 for the manufacture of guns for the armament of those vessels.

The Harris and Whtttborne propositions were lost. On inotiou of Mr. Robeson, the requisite number of tons displacement Tor the largest cruiser was increased from 4,000 to 4,300. Ihe clause appropriating $20,000 for testing the practicability of defensive armor having been reached, ir was amended, on motion of Mr. Harris, so as to applr to the deflective turrets designed by Past Assistant Engineer N. B. Clark. Mr. Thomas, of Illinois, as an additional section, offered an amendment providing that any person in the pay corps of the navy who shall receive any present or gratuity of any kind or value whatever by reason of any purchase or payment made by him on account of naval service, shall be dismissed from the serviee, imprisoned for a term of not less than one nor more (ban ten years, and fined not less than SIOO nor more than SIO,OOO.
