Before th Horticiiltui al Society; Last
KvcdIdk,
Lat evening a coodly niimhrr of pcrsoni a.
scmblcd in the Horticultural Hall, the occasion
bring the rcmiing of no c-uy, by Rjbert Scott,
Esq., a geutlcriiHn of lurse experience in the
cultivation of flowers, and a resident of this
city. Most of the cm-hvs re a J before the Society
heretofore have been by pontlemen non-rcsi-dents
of the city, mul the om; delivered by Mr.
fccott, which will f,pe;.k for itself, obviously
shows that our iluiists are na capable of writinsr
efty m well as the gentlemen from abroai.
Our readers should profit by the advice given
in the essay, if they desire to succeed in the cul
tivation of flowers'. Air. Scott, upon bin in
troduced, naid:
Ladies and Gentlemen: There are perhaps
tew subjects couut:te1 wuu ear.icuiDg better
rieservinn our attention thu'i the one nn ter con
sideration tuis eveinnii, wtie:i we consider Ine
almo t universal love lor flower and the de ;ire
10 have them, however a'iverc the circuiu
Dt'incc atteiuliuu their rnanaeeuient. There
are, perhaps but tew Iiou-m in Phlla lelpula
which hive not their pot plants in every variety
of stvle and uoitioii; soul'-in fancy vases and
flower-pots other- iu broken pitchers and tea
pots: tome sin ceding, but thi moat part failing
in their cu'tivailou. To loioe and encouniEe
this Hiid to h n i u hclpins hand in diilusing
knowledge on this Miojici. hits always seemed to
me 'o deserve more aiteniion than It has hitherto
received.
There is, perhaps, nothing In nature which
tends more to elevate man unit bring into piny
the Ix-tter tcelinps ot sU nature than the love
and cultivation of flowers. Every seed that
cilulpes, every leaf that expands, every shoot
that developer ttts leaves, every flower that bursts
into blooui, awakens interest and leads from
nature up to nature's God. Wno ever saw the
cottacre window, with its well-tilled and thriving
collection of plants, that thought its inmates
were either lazy or slovenly in their habits ? It
wnB the remark of the late B. A. Fabneotock
that whenever he saw carefully cultivated plants
in the window he put down that housekeeper
lor an industrious, clean, and frugal woman, and
that he had never known one who was really
fond of flowers to he bad or dissipated in her
habits.
Iu tiratintr this subject I shall endeavor to be
brief and to the point. 1 shall try to answer a
lew queries, asked me perhaps a hundred times
In a ear. The brut Generally is,' "How olten
shall 1 water them ?'' "Whai kind of soil should
I put them in?" and "What temperature U best
to benetit and keep them in a f hrlvinn state?"
Firsr. In waieinifr, there are, perhaps, more
blunders nitulu thnu iu any other part of their
treutuiciit, loost taking it for granted they
should receive water every day, besides having
the saucer or the pot set iu a cup tilled with
water. The consequence is, in a week or two
the toil becomes nour.the roots perish, the plant
becomes sickly, aud dually dies otf. In water
ing, no general rule can be LV.d down as to no
olten plants should be watered. Some will want
it every day ; others not for two or three days.
Some whose drainage is bad, aud others, may
not want it more than once a week.
The temperature of the room has also much
to do with the watering. If hot and dry, some
manure should be thrown over it once a day,
but never water a plant that Is not dry. To
know this you can easily tell by the soil. If
dry, water it thoroughly, so that the soil will
pet wet to the bottom. If in a saucer empty the
water out every time you. water it, as none bat
water plants stand in it without injury.
In watering hanging baskets or vases it is
better to take them down and water them well
over with the watering-pot; but if very dry dip
them In a bucket until thoroughly wet through.
Let them drip before hanging up. It is well
also to water them over bead once a week to
clean off any dust that may get on the leaves.
In watering use pure hydrant water. In winter
it is better, to take the chill off, to a id a little
hot water, making the temperature about 75 or
KO degrees.
Home plants are benefited by guano and other
liquid manures in a liquid statu; but it requires
considerable experieuco in applying them.
Geraniums, heliolropei, mignonette, and other
sou-wooded plants may receive once a week a
watering steeped in either cow or borne manure
two or three times before applying it. Use it
clear, as any sediment would make the pots
unsightly.
In providing soil when there are only a few
pots, it is better to get what is wanted from
the nearest florists to suit the kind of plants
then repottine. But when there is a number,
it will oe better to have a supply always on
hand. I find, lrom cvery-day experience, that
great mistakes are made in the selection of soil.
The first generally made is by taking rich, black
dirt from the lots; that, mixed with street
cleanings, is the piinclpal soil used In the city
for window-pot plants. Now, what is taken for
"rich black dirt" is exhausted soil carted out
from some of our city gardens to be replaced
with lrenh soil from the commons, which, mixed
with 6trect cleanings, would make it worthless
for growlug auy thing successfully.
The nature ot plants and the food they require
are as various as that ot animals: but all pot
plants.whatever their nature, require fresh soil.
To have this always at hand, have two wheel
barrow loads of good loam, one barrow load of
good cow or horse manure, one ot sand, and a
half barrow load of peat. This will be suffi
cient for a mixture. You must keep them sepa
rate, in a dry place, and mix them when
wanted. Three parts ot Ijhui, one part of
manure, and one of sand will suit for all sott
wood-plants, such as fucuslas, cinerarias calceo
larias, barnardias, miguouette. heliotrope, Ian
tanas, verbeuah, etc. For uzalias use all peat.
For camelias aud acacias use one halt loam and
one half peut. For daphnes, four parts loam,
one of sand, and one of manure. For hanging
baskets, feins, lycpodiuins, eto., three pans peat
and one part loom. For lobelias, ivies, vmcas,
saxitraga, etc., the soil for soft wooded plants
will suit.
When a plant wants repotting turn it carefully
out ot the pot, aud bee the kind of soil it has
been growing in. 11 latPly from the nursery
you will lorni a pretty correct idea what kind
of soil it will want. In rc-poiting huve the pots
perfectly clean, and a few pieces of broken pots
or charcoal in the bottom to secure a good
drainage; one fize larger pot as a rule is suf
ficient lor the shift. If the branches are iu a
leaty condition, all that will be required will be
to take away the old drainage and repot. Be
careful that the soil is pressed down alt around
it. To secure this a thin piece of wood is used.
Sometimes, In repottintr, it is better to over
haul any plants that look sickly. If the cause
is found to be ii:siifficipnt drainage or the soil
exhausted, it is better to re luce the ball, being
careful lo save uny roots that are Iresb, and
put the riant back again iuto the cume sized
j ot. Always water well alter repotting, to set
tle the soil about the roots. In arranging tbeui
lor growing in the window, endeavor as much
t us posHlble to have them near the glnss, espe
cially solt-wooded plani9. A circular stand
, about four feet high, having three shelves, is
frequently used, an doe3 very well. A Mwlf
renting on the sill of tho window, supported by
brackcti, is perhaps tho best place where only
a few are growiuu, while hanging ba.kets,
vascf, or shelves suspended lrom tlx top of the
window may be had without interfering with
the plants on the shelves.
I see bonie windows through the city literally
filled with plants the wble year round either
in baskets, with their drooofue V.ueu. or uliutH
ktaudimr on the shelves, and I have olten been
surprised to see in what life and vigor those
who attended to them were able tb keep them
A hulk window is also a good nlac. I have seen
several of tneso where they were supported
from harm bv two sash doors to ooen aud shut
at pleasure. The bottom of tue window covered
with zinc the edge turned up to gather all the
crops, and keep up animation, a mile sand
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGAPLT rniLADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
j laced on this, and the iio'sset in It. Thn vines
lenrifii up the -sides and baskets suspended
luuu iie tops.
Another method of window gir lernnnr. cnrrled
on more in London th in in I'luludelihia, Is to
have boxes resting on tho sill and brtu-kets out
Mdc the box generally ten inch"s across the
top and nine Inenes deep. That is fil ed wi1 h
rood soil, and mignonette, sweet aHs-uim. lobe
lia, pert u ina, heliotrope, and eermanla' planted
in it will Power and n. one a lino display i tie
whole Miiuntcr. Others have these boxes tilled
wiih floweiina plants in pots, and are removed
as the plants art out ol bloom, and supply
oihersto keep up a succession of Ho ,ver the
whole summer.
For runielias, tlsplines, nzalia0. orangrs, and
oleanders, another nic.hod has bc?u tried sue
cesslullv. Where there is a spare room, have a
huge t-hallow box fixed near the window, mak
ing it perfectly titilit, by cenipnt. to prevent any
water getting in turouub the fiower-box, then !
till it with tan and plant tne pots in it. You can
let them remain there through the winter. They
will need but veiy little water, and no neat, but
what may como lrom the a'lloining rooms. I
have known camelias to stow very successfully
in this way, producing an abundance of flowers
during tho winter, aud supplying the parlor
window with llowctinir plants.
In selecting a list of plants for tho window I
will tiTf-t mention a )pw, which nearly all can
cultivate with u little nttcntiou: Acacia, ar
niata linearis and pubcpccn, aioe-vai legata and
oluiue aud uzalias. in all tueir vancies. Cnntn.
epipiiyllum, truncaium, violaceiini, speciosa,
fliiti akerniania, begonia-rcx, and others of that
class. Sere im, fpeciotBliua, scottl, and flageli
formls. Callu-Lthiopica, cuphea, plat rceutfa.
Geraniums, ro-e, uutmeer, and all the zonale
data, now so popular and vari-d in their colors.
Hvdranpia, hortensms, tniuuoncttes, primula,
Hiineiisus, red and white invrtus. co.umuiius,
latifolia, and variegated nerium, oleauler,
double, pink, and white.
For Baskets Fiscus, reptans, Kemlworth,
Bosfou, Knelihb, and Irish ivies and ferns, most
of the varieties; lychamachia. nutumeiltolU,
sycopodlums denticulata, coeseum, nnxi'ra:a,
sa7iiientosa.sednra venga'a, sibaldie etolonifera,
iradies-cautin, discolor zebrina, vinca. el"aau
tissima major, verbena, imperatrlce, Elizabeth,
nnd lobelias. All ol the above are easy of culti
vation. Beginners should select from this list.
The following are veiy pretty and suitable for
the wiudow, butthey require a little more know
ledge and experience in their cultivation:
Ardes-ia, crenulata almanda, ncrifolia, bou
vardia leintha, senerarias, calceolana rugosa,
donocomiel, meteor Camillas, albaphleno, candi

Ax Attack on a Tavern A Man Shot.
Yesterday afternoon n large number of men.
among whom were several boatmen, entered
the hotel kept by Mr. Petchel, opposite Mana
yunk locks, nnd after partaking freely of liquor
left the premises. Soo.i atter they returned, and
made au attack on the bouse, using stones aud
other missiles. Agreat excitement was created,
and a larae crowa collected in front and around
the premises, during which Mr. Petchel pro
ceeded into the upper part of the buildiug,
and, procuiine a rifle loaded with buckshot,
made his appearance at the second-story wiudow.
The crowd then became much excited, and some
of the boatmen usc.i threatening language,
and renewed their attack on the premises with
creuter fury. Mr. Petchel then pointed his trim
from the window and nred iuto the crowd, the
shot taking etlcct iu the lelt.side, breast, and
shoulder ot Charles Karru. The wounded mau
wa immediately taken in charge by some of the
persons present at the time of tho firing, aud
afier surgicial aid hud been procured, was
placed in h- vehicle aud conveyed to the hospi
tal. Mr. Petchel was then taken into custody,
and atter a bearing before Alderman Gibson,
was held to await the injuries of Karrn. War
rants were also isaued for the arrest of some of
the men ensaged in the attack on the house.
At a late hour last nnrlit the injured mau was
considered to be in a very critical condition, and
doubts are entertained ot his recovery.
The Impeachment op Messrs. Barnes and
McMullim ton Alleged Misconduct During a
Firemen's Hiot. The committee of Common
Council appointed to taise testimony in the case
of Aldeimau McMullin aud Councilman Barnes
held a final hearing yesterday afteruoou. The
lollowing testimony was elicited;
tinker Samuel R. Smith sworn I was at Sixth
aud feouth streets on the morning of July 16.
I heard a pistol shot; two other oflicers and my
self went on the other side of the street, aud
heard a rattle sprung; at Sixth and Shippen
streets heard another shot; when we got close
to the Hope Engine house there was a regular
volley; bricks were thrown so rapidly that wo
hid ourselves; did not see Alderman McMullin
there; did see McCluskey, Gallagher, aud Frank
MtDuvitt; these were all I knew; they were in
the ciowd, all of which were well armed; it was
dacgerous for a citizen to pass that way; after
the row I spoke to McDevitt, and requested hitn
to take the ciowd away; we did not make auy
arrests, as mere were Dut tew omcers present,
and we were fearful of our lives; never saw a
worse riot than this; saw several with pistols in
their hands, but didn't know them.
tiuicer Jo.-epn w. Tyler sworn was at fcixcn
and Lombard streets on the 10th of July, when
I heard a shot: I started to run down the street,
and beard another shot; then a rattle was
sprung; Othcers Smith and Lead beater came
alter me; when we got close to the engine nouse
we saw a party bring at the house; bricks were
also being thrown; we got out of the way: after
it was over, some one said, "There's Mully,"
lointini; to a man across the street: not know
ing Alderman McMullin, I could not recognize
him: the row lasted ten or fifteen minutes; it
would have been dangerous for ua to have at
tempted to make an arrest: saw a man there
who was called Barnes; have heard that McMul
lin was there; did not sec anybody in the hght
whom I knew: iudue thero were utty men en-
gaped outside ol the house.
J nomas J. uagney sworn un me iuiu im.
was standing at Sixth and Bouth, wiien Are was
called; it was at 8evenih and South streets; a
mau named Evans, amemoeroi iur aiojaiucu-
sing Hose, was holding a plug: he re'used to
let the members of the Hope Eugine make an
attachment; I saw the assistaut engiuecr aooui
it, and he would do nothing towards the matter;
several members of the Moyamctisiug had hold
ol tue engine, pulling it backward ana torwara,
to prevent us lrom making the attachment; saw
jHcaiuiuu nave noia or one ot our mourners,
named McAnanny; Fiauk McDevitt is an as
sessor of the Third Ward, and secretary ot, the
Mr. Littleton Btated that he had addressed a
letter to Mr. Lynd, the City Holielior, who is
ahi-cnt irom tue city, asking his opinion rela
tive to the power ot Councils in impeaching
A'dermau McMullin aud Councilman Barnes.
In his reply, Mr. Lynd states that he has
given the subject involved much thought, aad,
though his absence from the city has precluded
a consultation of Authorities, he has reached
the following conclusions: ,
'That an alderman ot the city of Philadel
phia is a civil officer under the Commonwealth.
"That the role power of impeaching all such
oflicers is vested by the Constitution exclusively
with the House of Representatives.
"I am." he says, "strongly Inclined to believe
itVrMicrh I dou't eive it as a final conviction
that a breach of the peace by an alderman is a
violutiou of his ojficial duty, and renders him
he violated no ojjlcial demeanor In olllco. The
Consolidation act, however, specltles a ground
for iwpVachnient,' mlsderaeayor in olllce aud
other tufiicient cuusef hence U li possible that
1-eWv be 1 i'Wn to Impeachment for a breach
tl e peace jls one of the oilier sullicient causes
tiierefi r.
"Alter much reflection, however, upon the
origin Hr.d nature of lniTieichnient, nnd a close
exhniination of tne lxnguairo ot our State Cou
Fillution thereto, I am very much Inclined to
believe that tho procee'iin? is applienhlo to
Mate ofPcrrs oii'y.Biid eniorcib'.e exclusively by
ll.e LetMslatlire."
Mr. l.jnd concludes by stHtinethat on his
return to the city he will revve these conelu
nons nd cive a lull decision. Jfij
Mr. Palmer moved that the Chairman reooit
to t ornmnn Council that the Conimitlce lire of
the opinion that there is testimony sutlietent. to
wartfliit the impeachment of Alderman McMul
lin and Councilman liariie-, but having received
fin opinion from the city Solicitor adverse to
the power ol Councils to impeach these gentle
men, they respectfully submit ihn wiu.ln mnt.ic-r
lor its action
