Briggs & Brother, The Rochester 1 Florists. Wo print on our eighth page to-day an extract from advance sheets of Briggs & Brother’s Quarterly for January, on the subject of “Parlor and Window Gardening,” a topic that is en grossing more general and deser ved attention. The coming Quarterly for Januury will be one of the most brilliant works of the kind e'ter issued in this country or in Europe. The cover will be illuminated in blue and gold, , the Goddess Flora being in the ! foregiound. What must be the extent of a business which pub lishes hundaeds of thousands of costly illustrated magazines, more than that number of superb ' Chromos or flowers, jobs its Seeds to between seventeen and eighteen thousand dealers in the country to sell at retail, requires over ten millions bags for one season’s trade, and in the busy season sends off from two to three tons of matter per day! All this by one firm in Rochester, N. A . But our readers are quite familiar with this old firm, having read their advertisements published in this paper as year ago. Many of them purchaed their Seeds and* Bull s direct from the firm of Briggs & Brother, Rocbesthr, N. Y., and having received sat isfaction many will do it again Send twenty-five cents and se cure the Quarterlies. Sedalia (Mo) Opinion. Transplanting in the Night. A gentleman, anxious to ascer tain the effect or transplanting at night, instead of by day, made an experiment with the following result: He transplanted ten cherry trees while in bloom, commen cing at four o’clock in the after noon, planting one each hour un til one o’clock in the morning. Those transplanted during the daylight shed their blossoms, pro ducing little or no fruit, while those planted in the dark main tained their condition fully. He did the same with ten dwarf-trees, after the fruit was one-third grown. Those transplanted du ring the day shed their fruit: those transplanted during the night perfected their crop, and showed no injury from having been removed. With each of these he removed some earth with the roots. The iu :ident is fully vouched for; and if a few more similar ex periments produce a like result, it will be a strong argument to horticulturists, etc., to do such work at night.— BesC rn Rural. The Cuban Republic .—Col. Juan Maceias. English Minister of Cuba, has gone to Washington where he will visit the President and Secretary Fish to explain the existing feeling in England about Cu ban matters. It is stated that many prom inent officials of Great Britain requested Maccias to make this visit. Indemnifying Slave Owners.—The committee on the abolition oi slavery in Porto Rico has declared in favor of gran ting the owners an average indemnity of $250 pc slave. And yet the Spanish Government utakes no especial pretentions to being a government of “moral ideas - ’’ The colored people are t< have an excur sion to witness the inauguration of Gen eral Grant on the 4th of Mardt. Charles ton, Columbia, Wilmington and Goldsooro are to be the starting points on March 2d, On their return they will probably scatter the small-pox round like rip. A Bunion letter says that the German Government are about to purchase the I‘ortugues settlement in Delarge Bay, in Southern Africa, with a view to colonizing vmigranU there. A N t \v Amusement.— The latest social amusement wi.h the young ladies al road, says an exchange, is to till a milk pan half full of molasses and then put a silver half dollar in it and give it to the first young man who takes it out with his teeth. The game is said to be very amusing, and we ( advi.-e the young ladies of America to try it. Os course the young gentlemen are} expected to f urnish the coin and molasses. < A candy pulling a ways follows tin. beauti ful game, and there is generally enough molasses left to furni-h candy for all those j who wish. i SENDIN YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS SEND IN YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS SENDIN YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE TO THE TO THE PEOPLES FRIEND, PEOPLES FRIEND, PEOPLES FRIEND, $2 00 a year. $2 PG a year. $2 00 a vaar.
