< BIlsolilovo\is Malaria ,
/rTo say that malaria is tnfscMcvctu
5s to put it vcr mildly. It is all that
and more. tj It is cunning , deceitful ,
treacherous , sly , and underhanded.
It docs its work in the dark , and in
such a sly way that much of the mis
chief is done before it is discovered.
It saps the foundations of a healthy
system. It robsthc blood of its vitality -
ity , demoralizes the liver , confounds
the stomach , and makes the victim
wish lie were in" his grave. _ It is sad
toscepcoplcs'it down in their misery ,
content to be the victims of mischiev
ous malaria , and thinking that noth
ing can be done for them. The power
of BROWN'S IRON BITTERS over the
mischiefs of malaria has been so am
ply proved that there is no reason
why anybody who can procure a
bottle ot this Prince of Tonics shall
suffer. Great is the power of malaria ,
and great are its disastrous effects.
But greater far is the beneficent in
fluence of BROWN'S IRON BITTERS.
The preparation of iron in this favor
ite family remedy "can be taken
without ruining the teeth or produc
ing constipation and headache. \

The Cah commiHsiouor of Iowa make
the following suggestions respecting the
construction of ponda.
For a still-water wintering pond , th
deeper a portion of it is the bettor. I
there bo plenty of mud on the bottom o
the ponds , in which the carp can bur ;
themselves during the period ot hybcrna
tiou or winter sleep , a depth of hvo foe
might answer and bring them safely
Hut a greater depth would please mud
better. If spring water can bo run nloadi
Jy into the ponds during the winter
depth is of much loss consequence , li
draining ponds great care should bo takei
to have it done alnwly , so that the fin ]
may not bo too much frightened to
gather in the deeper portions. They ar
quite likely to Uiry themselvo
in the mud of any part o
the bottom whoa they take
sudden alarm , and might bo loft then
to smother and die. The location OIK
form of ponds should bo euch as to ad <
to the beauty of the surroundings mi (
to the convenience and plawuro of th
owners. They may bo nuodo > l to auppl ,
let ) , or if stock bo kept they may b
useful as a reservoir to supply water
Of course these points are to bo eottlof
by ( hose who plan them , nnd the !
Keat importance should not be over
okod. Carp can be kept and fed , am
made to KTOW rapidly in reservoirs
tank * , small ppuda or other uinall bodies
of water during the m jmmcr that would
not bo safe from free jng during the win-
tor. And they are Oft0n so kept in the
old countries. S k flgh for such n purpose -
pose would have to bo procured annually
fro/n some carr , brooders.

PniLAnKU'ltiA , ( Special. ) The Proas
publishes a review from advance shoots
f the aocond volume of Thurlow Wood's
nomoirs , a book which Is destined to ox *
ito much curiosity and controversy. It
i edited by Thurlow _ Wood Barnes , and
uals with the political history of the
United States between 1850 and 1805 ,
when Wood was Now York's greatest
olitical manager. Some of his letters
tow published for the first time allude to
lie nomination of Lincoln at Chicago in
800 , and the betrayal of Mr. Seward ,
'the logical , and an everybody suspected ,
! io inevitable republican candidate. "
oward'a ' defeat , nays Mr. Weed , wan
wing at least to a misunderstanding bo-
woon the candidate and Mr. Cameron ,
n a letter to Thurlow Wood a few
nontliB before the famous convention
loward wrote * n follows , speaking of
Cameron :
I promised him when ho loft Washing-
x > n to spend a day or so with him on my
way homo. Ho took mo to his house ,
old me all was right , ho was for mo , and
i'onnsylvania would bo. It might hap
ion that they would cast the first balloter
or htm , but ho wao not in , otc. Ho
irought the whole legislature of both
mrtics to BOO mo , feasted them glorious-
y , and they wcro in the main BO generous
to embarrass mo Yours faithfully ,
WILLIAM II. SEWAIU > .
Another letter , written six weeks bo-
ore the convention , was even moro
lointcd :
DEAR WEED : Mr. Cameron claims all
ho delegates in Philadelphia but ono.
lo eays ho wants to BOO you , nnd will
moot you hero or at Philadelphia nt any
irno you may suggest. IIo said ho would
write you so , but it Boomed well enough
or mo to toll you. You know all about
ilr. Carl Schurz and the important and
ho responsible part ho is acting in the
opublican causo. Please giro him your
onfldonco. 1 wonder continually how
ou got through such labors and boar up
indorsuch responsibilities.
Yours faithfully ,
WILLIAM II. SEWAUU.
Continuing the story of the canvass
own to the second ballot , says the mo-
noir :
After the second ballat had boon taken ,
iut before the result was announced ,
lav. Roodor , or Pennsylvania , took the
oor aud said that while the voting was
oing on Gon. Cameron had withdrawn
is narco. Ho now formally withdrew
lie name of Simon Cameron as a candi-
ate for nomination. Forty-eight votes
rom the state ot Pennsylvania were then
lirown for Mr. Lincoln , and the clerk
nnouncod the result. Mr. Seward stood
ithin forty-eight and a half votes of the
nomination , but the sudden riao in Mr.
lincoln's vote , caused by the transfer to
im of the votes fromPonnsylvania , which
n the firat ballot had boon cast for Gon.
Cameron , suddenly brought into the Hold
formidable opposition candidate. Other
nfluoncoa were at work in the same di-
cction , but the change in the vote of
'onnsylvanla , startling the vast auditori
um like a clap of thunder , turned tlio
acalo. On the next ballot the vote in
detail stood as follows , when Mr. Carter
of Ohio , announced the change of four
votes in that delegation to the loading
candidate , thus nominating Mr. Lincoln ,
wlio received 231 & votes , Seward 180 ,
and Chase 24. After his election , in ono
of his confidential letters to Wood , Pro
aidant Lincoln said as to the matter pi
dispensing patronage : "It perhaps will
surprise you to learn that I have information
mation that you claim to have my author
ity to arrange that matter in Now York ,
[ do not believe you have so claimed ,
but still some min say so. On that
subject you know all I have said to you
Is 'Justice to all , ' and I have said nothing
more particular to any ono. I say thie
to reassure you that 1 have not changed
my position. In tlio hope , however , thai
you will not use my name in the matter ,
'
am yours truly ,
A. LINCOLN. "
A moro remarkable letter from Lincoln
to Wood follows :
"EXECUTIVE MANSION , WANIUNQTON ,
D. 0. , March 15 , 1805. DEAU Mn.
WEED : Every ono likes a compliment.
Thank you for yours on my little ratifica
tion speech , aiid on the recent inaugural
address. I expect the latter to wear as
well , perhaps better , than anything 1
have produced , but I believe it is not im
mediately popular. Mon are not flatter
ed by being shown that there has boon a
diiTeronco of purpose between the Al
mighty and them. To deny it , however ,
iu this case , is to deny that there is aGed
God governing the world. It is a truth
which I thought needed to bo told , and ,
-whatever of humiliation there is in it
falls most directly on myself , I thought
others might afford for mo to toll it.
Truly yours , A. LINCOLN. "
A month later Lincoln was dead. Five
years later when Gon. Lee died Thurlow
Wood was asked to preside at a public
meeting held in honor of his memory.
In a peremptory declination Weed said
to the committee that invited him : "II
the object of your mooting had boon to
honor the 1110111017 of that Gen. Lee who ,
until the year 1801 , was distinguished
alike for his high personal and military
character and for devotion to his country ,
I should esteem it a privilege to unite
with you , but the Wrongest feelings
awakened in mo by the death of Gen.
Lee are those of profound sorrow that ar
early and brilliant military record should
hare boon blotted out by a aubiequoni
inglorious career. I cannot , therefore ,
participate with those who doslro to
honor the memory of the commandor-in
chief of the rebel army an army thai
struck at the lifo of the boat govurnmon
in the world. "

"Two extra ladies "

young man to President Arthur's heac
gardener , Henry Pfioster , in the whit
house conservatory the other day ,
"All right use camellias , " replied Mr
Pfieatcr , who formerly had charge ) of th
greenhouse aud grounds of Longvicn
asylum , near Cincinnati , and was nmioinl
ed the white house head gardener by Mr
Hayea in 1877.
"What did the young man mean bj

Enquirer representative.
"All the ladies in the white house ar
supplied dally with bouquets of choic
llowors , " answered the boas bouquet
Wilder. "Pre.ident Arthur's lister
ioco , nnd daughters are hero for the
inter. The 'twe oxtrn ladies' moans
tiat two extra bouquets are required to-
ight. "
"MW many plants are in the consrvn-
ory ? "
"Over 8,000 in the conservatory
roper and 12,000 in the other hot-
iou os. The number is largely increased
very yoar. Plants are hero from nearly
every country on the
"What nro they used for ? "
"Tho white house is decorated every
lay with from 250 to 300 planU flower-
ng , tropical , and foliage. For state ,
abinct , and public dinners and rocop *
ions tlio decorations are moro olaborato.
' am new preparing for the cabinet din-
ior next Wednesday ; " and the plant exert -
> ort showed The Enquirer several lingo
npunds of cut flowers , whoso fragrance
vill tickle the noses of the statesmen at
Cing Arthurs next round-table chat.
'Every room is decorated except the cast
room , and that was not until the public ,
who are admitted without restriction
rom 10 until 3 o'clock daily , began to
itoal the planta aud oven the pots for
mementoes , I suppose , " and the garduor
ookod disgusted.
"What days can the public visit the
conservatory ? "
"Any day except Sunday. When the
ardonora are not busy decorating the
vhito house , every courtesy is shown
visitors. "
"How nro the conservatory nnd llower
lousco hoatcd ? "
"By hot water , furnished from seven
loators. From 150 to 200 tons of coal
are used every winter. Some of the
' .ropical planta rcquiro artificial heat in
, ho summer. "
"How many mon nro employed ! "
"Elovon. Ono head gardunorat $1,400 ;
one assistant , at $75 u month ; four gardeners -
donors , at $ UO ; two laborers , at $45 , and
three at $1.25 a day. Wo do all the
vork of the white qrounds. "
"How much money is required annu
ally for all purposes ? ' "
"For the past four years § 5,500 have
> eon appropriated annually. Out of the
appropriation comes my salary and the
nonoy required for now plants , pots.
> askota , floods , necessary repairs , coal for
'icatingpurposen , and keeping the grounds
n ordor. The sum has boon sufficient
'or the ordinary expenses , but now _ now
stages of iron and a la to nro required to
replace the present pine ones , which are
rotten from the constant watering of the
ilants. The concrete paving in also rot-
< m and worn out , and should at once bo
oplacod with marble and terra cotta tilo.
't is now so sloppy as to bo unfit for a
ady to walk on. The water also soaks
hrough it , and there is danger of serious
oss. "
"How many buildings are used for the
lants1'
"Seven. Ono is the conservatory
iropor , two are rose houses , two for ca-
iiellias , ono grapory , and ono propagat
ng house. "
"How much money will bo required
or the necessary repairs ? "
"Five thousand dollars , in addition to
.he . usual appropriation of § 5,500 , will
> rovido for everything. The buildings
and contents are worth at least § 50,000 ,
nd the government should not , from
also economy , endanger its valuable
> roporty. "
"I'loaso show The
Enquirer some of
ho rare plants. "
"There , on the top stage , " said the
> otanical gentleman , pointing to a mod-
mt-looking shrub with delicate green
eaves , "is the Holy Ghost plant ( pcria-
cria Alata ) , from Panama. The llowor ,
is you can see , is creamy white aud cup-
shaped , and contains for its petals a.dovo
with outspread wings , hovering over a
clialjco. The plant is sacred to the na-
tivns , who consider it sacrilegious to
iluck its flowers , Here is the nun plant
Jilctia Thanfcervilla ) , or , as some call
t , the Holy Ghost plant's sister. The
lower , when opened , disclosed a nun ,
dressed in her usual costume , hood and
all. It is also considered sacred by the
lativos. This [ pointing to a plant grow
ing on the bare side of a suspended shin-
; lb ] is an aerial orchid from the West
[ nclios. Orchids are hero from all coun
ties. The flowers of some of them grow
downward out of the roots. Hero are
oranges , lemons , and bananas. This
"argo plant with waxy loaves is an An-
'hurlam ' ventricosum , from Brazil , and
a the only ono in this country. It has
boon valued at $000 , but cost the gov
ernment nothing. I found the seed in
an orchid. "
What is the cause of the unnatural
color of the grapevines ? "
' 'They are painted with a paint com
posed of equal parts of whale oil , soap ,
: obucco , flower of sulphur , and clay , to
destroy insects. The treatment is very
ilFoctual. Wo supply the president's
able with black Hamburg grapes in
Juno. "
"How are the difioront plant cuttings
started ? "
"All cuttings are started in sharp river
sand. When they root they are translated -
) latod to rich manured soil , which is
changed from ono to three times a
Hornforti's Aulil '

Monday forenoon , about ton miles to the
southeast of that port , those on board
saw , about five miloj further to the

bottom upwards. The crow at once
buoyed their lines , and proceeded toward
the object. On getting near it they saw
tha ( it was the carcass of the whale recent
ly pursued and wounded in the Firth of
Tay. They immediately returned and
drov their lines , and arrived in Gourdon
about 2 o'clock. Ono of the crow than
left for Mont rose to scouro the service of
a tuz. While ho was away on that errand
rand some of the others lot
out the information that they
had BOOH the whale , and three
crews ( not including the crow that saw it
" "t ) manned their boats , and wont off in
the direction where the whale had boon
Been. When the tug reached the BCOIIO
these boats had got the fUli in tow , and
refused to give it up , or to accept the
assisUnco of the tug. The animal was
J LAthe boata by meana of a Iinu
attached to too tail , and a start was made
about 2 o'clock. A southerly course AT.IS

crowds to the ,
harbor. The whale
was reached in the South Harbor , nnd
being greatly inflated with wntor , it pre
sented the appearance of a huge
coble turned bottom up. As the tide re
ceded , however , the water escaped , nnd
it gradually assumed a moro naturally
appearance. Its dimensions were then
ascertained to bo : Length 40 foot from
Uio snout to the tail ; estimated girth at
the thickest part , 23 feet ; length of aide
fins , 3 foot ; measurement across from tip
to tip of the fins , 3G foot ; breadth of
tail from tip to tip , 17 foot 4 inches. It
is calculated that the bluddcr of the
whale is bout 8 inches thick. As the
animal lies ou its back the nature of the
injuries inflicted on it by the harpoons
and lances of the Dundee whalers can
not bo ascertained. When landed the
whale was taken possession of by the
coast guard officers on behalf of the gov
ernment , but on its being shown that
the animal had boon picked up on the
high seas it was subsequent handed back
to its captors.
