poncable after he has been employed three or four years in the Senate, and when he has been there six or eight years, he believes he has a9 many rights as the senators. At the end of ten y ars he feels that ha has a lien on the organization of the Senate; that he cannot be dispensed with, and that others than senators have no rights about the premises. There are a few door-keepers, old bearish, grayheaded sr.arla who have sat sullenly in the chairs before the doors for ro many years, without doing a lick of work, that they can only bo compared to snapping curs, who bark at people whoso business requires them to occasionally ask a question, just us if the people wore flics, and the door-keepers toothless canines. Again, there are some men about the offices of the Secretary of the Senate and that of the Sergeant at arms who have got it into their heads that they are there for ornamental purpose?. to draw pay and appear handsome, and they have become so overbearing and insolent that f;iey are intolerable to the public. They' do not understand that they are but servants, and seldom answer a civil question by a stranger in an intelligent or eivil manner. This insolence is to bo brought to the attention of the men who are responsible for the appointments. IMPAUEhT SOUTHERNERS. A Louisiana Man Expresses His Disgust with Cleveland’s Methods.

You see we of the South regard nearly every federal officer as a carpetbag scalawag, and they are about all very oifen--ive to us. Not an instance is there among hundreds in my mind where a change is not denuded. and au immediate change. In the orth the Democrats can stand it, because those fho hold ofiicp* are men who feel an interest in the people and country about them, and interests t.re common.

Thompson, but do you know, sir”—and he squinted one eye in anger—“that the kindness of a dozen acts won’t beat the unkindness of one wrong? No, not a particle of relief will these tubs give to the Kentucky whale. She has on her red paint, and at the proper moment she will resent this slight of Phil. Thompson."

the service of oonsequence since this administration came in, and the list of postmasters' commissions and appointments wo have been publishing daily have been shut right off. Thero has not been a single postmaster appointed yet This is very unusual, for there are many changes in the small offices every day, and the Post-master-general is called upon almost hourly to £ll vacancies in the offices not presidential I tell you, that when the appointments do begin there will be a regular wind storm of them."

Tho Secretary has also ordered the Tallapoosa to be put in repair for regular service, instead of for transportation of government freight and passengers. A telegram to the War Department from General Hatch, at Arkansas City, says: “Couch's colony, about 000 in number, continue in camp, and say they do not intend to disband. Ido not believe they will attempt to enter the Territory.” Archbishop Gibson, of Baltimore, called at the executive mansion, by appointment, this afternoon, in company with R. T.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. • Shelbyvillb, March 19.—The many forgeries commiteed by William B. Wright have rapidly come to tho surface to-day, and the amount of forged paper will probably reach $2,000. Joseph B. Randall holds a SIOO note with the names of Elijah Wright and Leason Bass, as forged indorsers. John Randall holds a similar note. Last Friday Wright tried to cash a S2OO note at tho Shelby Bank with the forged names of Leason Bass and General Wickliff as indorsers. Mr. Hamilton refused to buy, but the note is on the market somewhere* One of these gilt-edge notes for S2OO was presented to Wesley VnnArsdall, but tho gentleman did not advance the money. About a year ago Wright sold a note to Lewis Ricketts for $l5O, with Leason Bass as forged surety. Being caught in this, the noto was paid off and the rascality hushed up. Mrs. Minerva Wray held a SSO forged note, which was cashed about a month ago. Besides his forgeries, Wright owes barber bills, tailor bills, grocery bills, butchers' bills, printers’ bills and considerable borrowed money. To the Vandalia railroad ho owes $135 for Kansas excursion tickets sold, which is secured by a forged bond. To the CL, 1., St L. & C. road he owes $154 for tickets, which Alfred Majors will have to pay. Jacob Fox is caught for SIOO at the Shelby Bank.

March 19.—The Senate —12 to s—rejected the House bill giving women suffrage in the sehool districts. A NATION OF EGG EATERS. At Least Fifty Million Eggs Daily Consumed by People in the United States. New York Mat! and Expretifl. “There are at least 50,000.000 eggs consumed daily in the United States,” said a wholesale dealer to a reporter. “That is over 4,000,000 dozen, and, at an average price, will amount to SBO,OOO. Think of the outlay and business activity required to handle this enormous quantity. The American people are egg eaters. Asa general thing the supply is equal to the demand, but about three years ago, late after January, we ran ashore on domestic eggs. What was the result? Europe began to ship us pickled eggs by the millions. Ship loads came over. Prices went down, and the European pickled eggs, at fourteen cents a dozen, became immensely popular. This almost ruined our home egg market. During the months of April and May the eggs are pickled by means of a solution of lime water. They are kept until November and December, and then come in to lower the market. Fresh eggs, though, are worth thirty cents a dozen." “Where do the eggs in the United States principally come from?” “From Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, North and South Carolina and Maryland. The Western States, of course, furnish large quantities, but not so much as the States mentioned. Nineteen million two hundred thousand eggs were shipped from Europe to this country since the Ist of April to September. They oome from Belgium, Copenhagen, Hamburg and the greatest egg mart in the world, Antwerp. But all these European eggs are pickled, and although not half so good as the fresh, yet they have the effect of lowering prices. All of the peasantry in Germany, Belgium and Holland raise large quantities of fowl. Butin the United States a few farmers only pay attention to the industry. “What is the reason that the farmers in the United States do not raise more fowls?” “Simple enough. They have been in the habit of making large profits from stock and grain and other products, and thought egg-rais-ing too slow. They see their mistake now. and in less than ten years eggs will be exported instead of imported.” “How will the increase come about?” “If this now experiment of hatching eggs by means of heaters proves successful, then bacon and beef as life-sustaining foods will, perhaps, be supplanted. Thus far the results, on a limited scale, have proven successful, and the old hen, instead of wasting days over a dozen or so of eggs, can be putting in her time laying fresh eggs.* Tims a double saving will be made. Every farmer with enterprise will have an egg farm or hatchery, just as the rich have hot houses now, and send millions of eggs to market. New York, perhaps, will be the greatest egg center in the world, aud ships will be chartered by the wholesale to do the export business. ”

LUSTRA PAINTING. New Developments of Artistic Fancy Work for Women t Home. Philadelphia Times. These are among the newest of the “art crazes,” differing from some in that they really are artistic in character, presenting quite a beautiful effect. They my be applied to plush, satin or any fabric usually decorated by embroidery. Kensington painting imitates creweland floss embroidery, and is, at the same time, easier of execution. Oil colors are used and an embroidery design is copied, every stitch being imitated by a stroke of a fine brush or pen, the brush being used for the larger stitches, the pen for blending or stitches too small for the brush. Prepared gold pens are sold for the purpose, but a steel one will answer. Lustra painting also imitates embroidery, but more remotely. Properly speaking, it resembles flowers or leaves made of colored bronzes; thence its name, meaning literally lustrous. Theeolors for lustra painting are made from bronze powders. They are mixed by the artist with prepared liquids, of which there are two, the “special medium” for pinks, and the “general medium” for alt other colors. The following are the principal colors employed: Pale gold, rich gold, green gold, lemon, orange, fire, brown, pale pink, middle pink, carmine, dull red, shaded blues and greens, purple, sparkling silver, silver, steel and black. A china palette is used. Nearly all of the colors are employed as prepared, but yellow, greens, red-browns and the like are produced by mixing. Lustra paintiug is broadly decorative; so bold, free designs are the only ones admissible, fine, delicate lines and shadings being almost impossible of attainment in lustra. The design may be outlined in silk, as in embroidery, or merely sketched in with paint To work upon plush the color should be about the consistency of syrup, but for lighter fabrics thinner paint is desirable. The sparkling colors are used for high lights, the dull ones for deep shadows* The former may be heightened, and the latter deepened by glazing over the ground a sparkling or a dull color, as the case may be. To regulate the lights and shades, imagine that the light falls upon the top of the object, thus throwing the upper part into the light, the lower into deep shadows, causing a scale of middle tints between. Harmony of tones and brilliant effect are all that can be realized in lustra, color, pure and simple, being a secondary consideration. Conventional flowers may depart from their natural models to any extent. All flowers may be readily imitated —that is, remotely, in lustra, except crimson ones. The3c may be executed in Vermillion and crimson like” oil colors, lightened with carmine, a lustra color. In painting stamens and pistils, wait until the petals of the flower are dry, and draw over them with color. In such flowers as the golden rod, paint only the mass, without attempting to delineate the small and indistinct petals. Lustra painting, like Kensington, is easy of execution. The only real guides for either are practice and the worker's own taste. Movement of Sap in Trees. From “ Practical Forestry” by A. S. Fuller. All plants obtain their nourishment in a liquid or gaseous form, by imbibition through the cells of the j'ounger roots or fibrils. The fluids and gases thus absorbed, probably mingling with other previously assimilated matter, are carried upward from cell to cell through the alburnum or sap-wood, until it reaches the buds, leaves and smaller twigs, where it is exposed to the air and light and converted into organizable matter. In this condition a part goes to aid in the prolongation of the branches, enlargement of the leaves, and formation of buds, flowers and fruit, and other portions are gradually spread over the entire surface of the wood, extending downward to the extremeties of the roots. We often speak of the downward flow of sap, and even of its circulation, but the movement in trees in no way corresponds with the circulation of blood in animals; neither does it follow any well-defined channels, for it will, when obstructed, move laterally as well as lengthwise, or with the grain of the wood. The old idea that the sap of trees descended into the rootsin the fall, remaining there through the winter, is an error with no foundation whatever. As the wood and leaves ripen in the autumn, the roots almost cease to imbibe crudg sap, and for a while the entire structure appears to part with moisture, and doubtless does so through the exhalations from the ripening leaves, buds and smaller twigs; but as warm weather again approaches the temperature of the soil increases, the roots again commence to absorb crude sap and force it upward, where it meets soluble organized matter, changing its color, tasto and chemical properties. If this

was not the case, we coaid not account for the saccharine properties of the sap of the maple, or for the presence of various mucilaginous and resinous constituents of the sap of trees in early spring, because we find no trace of such substance in the liquids or crude sap as absorbed by them from the soil. The life of the tree, Mr. Puller teaches, is all in the bark and sap of the wood, the heart beine dead, and serving the tree only to strengthen it mechanically, as shown by the fact that it may be removed entirely by decay, and still the tree grows on vigorously for centuries. THE BOSTON GIRL. Her Remarkable Attractions and Marvelous Accomplishments. Letter in Boston Journal. Why does the naughty outside world take such delight in ridiculing the Boston girl? Do they know what she is before they begin to pick her to pieces! Hare they any personal and intimate acquaintance with that best product of our beloved city, as exclusively her own a3 the Common and Bunker Hill, and more characteristic than either! A real Boston girl is as sweet a creature as the sun shines upon. Brought up in more Seclusion than her New York sister, and in a more intellectual atmosphere than her Philadelphia cousin, with the brightnessof the West without its boldness, and the ease of the South without its indolence, with English activity without English coarseness, and French vivacity without its superficiality, she is a compound of the finest essence of each, with more of the evenness of proportion to adjust the perfume properly. She has the energy of her Puritan grandsire and some—not too much —of the common sense of his wife; she i3 talented by nature and educated by art; she is unconsciously witty, uncommonly ready and ferociously pretty, with a clear eye and a blush-rose cheek and a figure—well! Just look at the next girl you meet in a homespun, tailor-made suit, and tell me what you think of her. Then she isn’t above making her own hats, and embroidering her own dresses, and decorating her parlor, and acquiring a language or two for sport. She is always a musician, and almost always an artist —in theory if not in practice. And she usually has ono pet scheme, whether of charity, of fashion, of amusement, of study, or of usefulness, which she manages to keep running at high pressure through all this turbulent stream of side issues. Her one fault is that of having too many irons in the fire—for she never allows any one to get cold without first using it; and as a natural consequence she is touch and go with illhealth while she should still be in the heydey of youth, and learns that she has a backbone and nerves years before she should be conscious that she had been born with either. I sat between a couple of them the other night at the same symphony concert, and came home in a sort of daze as to how any two creatures could know so much about so many things and carry it all off so easily under that graceful garb of simplicity and unaffectedness which fits the Boston girl as if it were mado to order. They knew the special style of every man in the orchestra, from the leader, Listemann, to dear, departed Lichtenburg, of happy memory; they could tell if the oboe fell a sixteenth part of a half tone from the pitch, or if the furthest kettledrum was snared an infinitesimal atom too tightly. When the andantino of a Tschaikowsky concerto was fainting away in a strain of delicious sweetness that you or I would as soon think of analyzing as an echo from paradise, it reminded one of “that staccato study of Rubinstein;” when the andante con fuoco began it recalled to the other something ot Brahm’s. They discussed the relative merits of the Lang school and the rival clique with a discriminating justico that would not have shamed Solomon; they gossiped in German and translated the French song on the programme; they spoke of one woman’s hack hair as “a study," and another woman’s bonnet as '‘a daisy," so that they were human after all. They knew the genealogy of everyone in the hall, which is another essentially Boston accomplishment; and I found out in the pauses for intermission and breath that they hammered brass work, wrote essays, painted in oil. read Wagner’s music at sight; went to the theater every other evening, kept up an intimate acquaintance with 500 friends, and had there own ideas on the subject of housekeeping. And yet, I give you my word of honor, they looked as pretty and as artless .and ns quiet as if they had had not two thoughts' in their two heads; and. although they whispered a great deal, they managed to do it without disturbing any one but myself, who rather enjoyed it. For, thank heaven, their voices were free from the American shrillness. You think, perhaps, that I have been sketching an isolated type? My dear friend, my style is as plenty as pens on the Fourth of July. It is you who have been imposed upon by a false semblance, a poor imitation, a baseless fraud upon the genuine Boston girl.

RUGS MADE OF RAGS. Odds and Ends Made Up Into Pretty Patterns by Nimble-Fingered Women. New York Mail am] Express. ‘‘The latest economical rage among the ladies is making i*ugs out of rags, tuft, old gowns, bridal dresses worn out, and any kind of material considered past utilizing," said the proprietor of a rug establishment on Broadway to a representative of the Mail and Express. •‘An ingenious fellow invented an arrangement by which the rags can be wound round a couple of steel bars or tines, and then sewed together on the machine. In an hour or so a beautiful rug is completed, which is just as durable as any other kind. All the material comes on the upper side and is firmly sewed on a ease or foundation of coarse cloth. Artistic designs are frequently attained by the blending of different colors. A lady made up a rug by this method from an old battle dag which her husband, a cononel, captured during the war. She worked his picture out of the red, and used the other colors for a background. She did the greater part of it in one day. The colonel came homo and mourned the lose of his trophy, but when he saw his picture bloom out on the surface he forgave her auu consented to the sacrifice.” ‘‘Of course any kind of cloth can be asedr “Yes, the finest Smyrna wool can be used after Oriental designs. Crazy rugs in blocks, hit and miss, solid colors and original designs are made with less material and labor, more perfectly than any other process, and entirely on the 3ewing machine. It is a fashionable craze. Ladies who never did anything of the kind before spend a few hours at the machine, and produce a rug with some handsome designs on it. The chief recommendation of these rugs to the ladies is the fact that they cost comparatively nothing in the make-up, require but little work, and are handsome and useful. The beautiful effects are produced by colors. A lady used a part of the dress she married in, a slice from her husband’s wedding coat and sash ribbons her bridesmaids wore, in making a t ug, aud called it the honeymoon rug.” Slipper Pineushions. Dorcas Magazine. Very elegant pincushions for hanging up at the side of a looking-glass are made just now in the shape of a slipper. They are made in three pieces: first, a piece of card-board must be cut in the form of the sole of a shoe, about six inches long, and then the toe—which in those I saw was made in two pieces, but may be contrived in one piece if prefered. Theso three pieces of card-board must first be covered with satin, and a small spray embroidered on each of them —at the heel end of the shoe and in the middle of the other pieces. The back of the sole should be neatly lined. When the three pieces are all covered and sewn together, a little pincushion covered with the same satin and stuffed with bran must be tightly wedged in the toe of the shoe. When this is all done, a cord should be run along to hide all the stitches made by joining the pieces, not forgetting the edge of the sole, and a twist of three loops made at the heel to hang it up by. Hardy Ferns. Vick's Monthly. The ferns of temperate climates only present themselves to us as herbaceous plants, consisting cf leaves, usually supported by strong leafstalks, which shoot up from a horizontal stem that creeps upon or below the surface of the ground. These fronds assume a great variety of form, freshness, gracefulness and feathery beauty possessed by no other class of ornamental plants. There are no more useful plants sot decorative purposes in our dwellings than our hardy evergreen ferns. They are the best of all plants for window-gardening in cool rooms, as they will endure and luxuriate in every change

of temperature, even below the freezing point. Their graceful fronds keep fresh and green in an atmosphere where geraniums and other tender plants could not exist In many houses where the inmates are fond of flower* may be found a wardian case or tray covered with a bell glass, in which a few exotic ferns are vainly trying to live and look healthy. Such ferns receive every attention; their glass covers are now and then removed to give them air, the temperature of the room must he kept at 70°; and yet, in point of freshness and intense greennass, they cannot be compared with hardy ferns, which unly require a little water to keep them in good health.
