Among the rules of the national House ol Representatives is one grant ing the privileges of the floor to ex members, Senators and other parties named, upon application to the Speaker in writing accompanied by a declara tion that the privilege will not he Used for the purpose of lobbying. This rule was adopted after the flagrant disclos ures of .the Credit Mobilier, Pacific Mail and other schemes had disgraced the national Legislature. That it has been considered a dead letter is evi denced In the fact that a large number of ex-membersof Congress have settled in Washington City to pursue the avo cations of lobbyists and claim agents, their opportunities to approach Con gressmen and government officials af fording them superior advantages in the practice. During the progress of the contested election case of English vs. Peelle, Mr. Brown, of Indiana, extorted from the tariff reformers tlie confession that the rule was to all intents and pur poses a dead letter. Tlie confession was shameful, notwithstanding its naivete, and the burning indignation indulged by Mr. Blount and the evi dent alarm exhibited by Mr. Thomp son did not relieve it of any of its bad features. After debate, upon motion of Mr. Hammond, a committee was raised with plenary powers to investi gate the whole matter. We confess that we do not anticipate the report of the committee, if one should ever be made, with any degree of satisfaction. Members will not tell on themselves, and the ex members and lobbyists will not imperil a lucrative business. The very least that can be hoped for will be an honest attempt to inforce the rule, which is wise one, for the future. The writer recalls the fact of seeing one of these ex-member lobbyists han dling the bills on the clerk’s desk, dar ing the closing hours of the Congress, in the hope of getting the bills in which he was interested in shape for consid eration. And during this present ses sion, a correspondent, in describing tlie closing scene at the final vote on the whisky hill, had Watterson flying out of one door and Green B. Katun out of another when some member alluded to the fact that they were endeavor ing to influence votes in favor of the measure. The Odds and Ends of a Busy Man's Noto-Book, Served Uo for tho En joyment of the Telegraph's Sunday Readers. Macon haj been called the City of Pala ces, and the most beautiful city in the country. To horticulture and flori- culture more than to any other cause is probably due tlie city's reputation for good looks.

This is property untaxed and untaxable; and only in rare instances is il made a source of revenue.

A gentleman recently told me that the handsomest floral effect he had ever seen was produced by roses ln fiont, sunflowers on one and morning glo- ries on the other side of a bouse. But many people regard the sunflower ns too common for cultivation, and the morning glory, wonderfully delicate and richly varied though It be, as positively vulgar. Since the establishment of a first-class seed-house ln our midst the people havs been freed from the domination and ava rice of the traveling seedsman, and the contents ot the flower garden wonderfully varied. In reply to a question as to what flower seed were most tn demsnd, Mr. Sargent referred to his sale book and gave the names of slxty-eight annuals. These have been sold In all tbelr varieties ma king a list ot several hundred plants. They may been seen about the city and their effect in flower gardens readily dis- cemed. Interested in the production of these plants, I accepted an Invitation from Mr. E. M..Sargent to visit the nursery of his firm, which is st'unted to the left ot l*io Nono college and about a mile from the city. The tract ot land embraces about twenty-flve acrai, and it is really wonder- ful to see wbat lias been accomplished up on ground of ordinary fertility within a few months. Under the guide ot the pro prietor's father, a thorough Honst and botanist, I was shown all over the nurse ry. 1 passed thousands of gillitlowert, French marigolds, [lortulacas in all colors, coxcombs ln all varieties, verbenas, swtt: alysums, Uellchrysnms or everlasting flower, zinnias, doable ci flowered balsam, African mari gold:, mixed portunlas, canary ‘birds, a plant whose bloom resembles miniature canary, Japan pinks, asters, amaranths and phlox drumondll. No es timate could be formed of the number of planta growing. 8ome idea, bowaver, may be obtained of the vast quantity, when It is known that o( one variety of these flow- era a'one 16,000 were growing in sight. The planta are not yet In full bloom, but are thriving. In a couple of sreeks tlie twenty-odd acres will lie covered with every hue ot the rainbow. 126 Second Street, Macon.
