THE RURAL 
®|r Querist, 
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Miscellaneous. 
Mrs. Julia A. Judd, dice Co., Texas.- 1 have 
just received the heeds, for which accept many 
t,banks. There are two kinds that I canuot find 
iu my catalogues, and I am no botouist and not 
jnuoh of a flotist, except in my love for them. 
I do not know how to treat them. They are 
Eryngium Leavenwortliii, audGluucium luteum. 
Please tell mo about them. 
Anb.—E ryngium Leavenworth^ is one of the 
showiest, most striking annuals that has been 
introduced for many years. Treat them in tho 
same way you would Balsam seeds. Glaucium 
luteum is a hardy perennial and of the easiest 
cultivation. It is suitable for edgings and bor¬ 
ders. 
Win. S. lions, Wood Co., Ohio.— Will the 
Equal please state the difference between the 
Voltaic Armadillo Electrical bauds and solos of E. 
J, Lkibeut, New York, and Pulvormacher's 
chains and belts. 
Aus.—\Yn have never seen the first named, but 
should suppose that the respective pamphlets of 
the two firms would lucidly explain the points of 
difference. 
Mm M. J. R — We extend our tliauks for 
poem copied and sent us. We cannot use it be¬ 
cause it is protected by copyright, and published 
in book-form. It would bo au in j ustioe, more¬ 
over, to tho author and hiH publishers to do so. 
Thanks, also, for other offer, which we muBt 
decline. 
Address mislaid.— Would you kindly name for 
mo the iuclosed plants ? A portion are wild, the 
rust garden plants. 
Anb.—T he flowers reached us in such a for¬ 
lorn condition that we cannot name them all: 
1. Korria Japonica. 2. Lysimachia nummu- 
laria. 3. Achillea Ptarmica. 4. Missing. 5. 
Auemoue quinquefolia. 6- PhysoBtogia Virgin¬

CONDENSED NEW YORK TELEGRAMS. 
Tuesday, Feb. 19.— All tho reports about Kitting 
Bull having crossed the frontier, were got up by 
people interested In the establishment of new 
forts or cont racts for supplies. 
Germany asks Russia not to occupy Constanti¬ 
nople. Europe Is drawing a long breath of relief, 
after having escaped an Imminent peril; but 
things are still more than a trifle menacing. 
Wednesday, Feb. 2«.—Alter the passage of the 
Silver mil, a vigorous effort will be made to re¬ 
peal t he act for the resumption of specie pay¬ 
ments In 1879. 
The Russians are still massing t roops In Turk¬ 
ish territory. They have concentrated 300,000 
men In Roumanta, not a little to the distrust of 
Austria. Servla and Roumanla are both Indlg- 
nantatltussun tieatmentof them. TheConclave 
for the election ot a new Pope has just com¬ 
menced. 
Thcbsday, Fob. 21.—The Senate has restored 
the franking privilege. Darrall, Rep. or La., has 
been unseated by the House, and Aekltn, Dem., 
seated in his place. Republicans complain bit¬ 
terly of gross Inj ustlce In this and other cases of 
oontested elections. 
Prince Bismarck has made a speech In which he 
says Germany has no rivalry with England, ex¬ 
cept in frendly trade, Is friendly with Austria, 
hopes Russia will be moderate, is willing to use 
her good offices for peace; hut must decline to 
arbitrate, and will not go to war unless Gorman 
Interests are threatened; which Is not the case 
now. 
Cardinal Peccl has been elected Pope, under 
the name of Leo XI11. Out ol fll Cardinals In the 
Conclave ho got 43 votes ou the third ballot, and 
was them nominated unanimously. 
Friday, Feb. 22.—The Sliver Bill as amended In 
the Senate, has been passed by the nouse. Wil¬ 
li imson of La., has been rejected by the Senate 
as Collector at New Orleans. 
Various conflicting rumors regarding Euro, 
pean complications. England growing more , 
resolute as public opinion becomes stronger , 
against Russian aggrandizement. Russia will 
certainly Insist ou grasplug everything she can 
by any possibility secure. Suleiman Pasha has 
been placed under arrest, degraded and ban- ; 
lshed. i 
Saturday, Feb. 23.—President Hayes will cer- ] 
tainly veto the Silver BUI. W. K. Chandler has 
written another letter on the La: matter '• 
strengthening ills charges of a corrupt, bargain. 
The Russians will occupy Constantinople unless 
the Turks agree at once to the terms of peace 1 
dictated to them. Austria has decided to mobll- < 
lze a portion of her army. Bismarck's speech 
meets with favor In Vienna, hut with disapproval 
at St. Petersburg. 
Sunday, Feb. 24.—Late rains here have caused 
very disastrous lloods In California. 
A crisis appears to be approaching in European 1 
polities. Russia is delaying the meeting of the i 
Congress or conference while consolidating her 
power in prostrate Turkey, negotiating with Aus¬ 
tria, conciliating Germany, and forcing Turkey 
to sign a disastrous peace, bo as to meet the other : 
Powers on the basis of accomplished facts. The i 
whole of Europe is now armed to the teeth, whUe , 
every day fresh forces are mustered In and arm- 
aments Increased, so that a violent outbreak may 
be expected at any moment, and would perhaps, 
be preferable to this state of suspense, uncertain¬ 
ty, and mutual distrust and animosity. 
Monday, Feb. 25.—The .Silver BUI. It is now 
pretty generally conceded will be passed over tbe 
President’s veto. It Is probable that Ilh effecls 
will be neither so disastrous as Its opponents 
think certain, nor so beneficial as its advocates 
expect. "Returning Board” Anderson’s appeal 
for a new trial has been denied. 
The prospects of a settlement, of European af¬ 
fairs are by no means Improved by the latest con¬ 
ditions reported to be imposed by the Muscovite 
on tho Ottoman. Russia demands a war Indem¬ 
nity of $ 1 , 120 , 000 , 000 , and Is to hold Batoum, Kars, 
Ardahan and adjacent Armenia until It Is paid 
that Is virtually always. Another trifle of $200,- 
000,000 Is to be paid for various specified accounts 
and rour lron-clads to be surrendered. Virtually 
Turkey Is obliterated as au Independent sover¬ 
eignty in Europe, being mortgaged baud and foot 
to Russia, and despoiled of all lulluence and ex¬ 
tensive tracts of her territory to be ceded to 
Montenegro, Bulgaria, and Roumanla. Tbo en¬ 
forcement of these conditions means war. There 
seems little use ot a Conference or Congress, as 
Russia Insists that peace shall bo concluded be¬ 
fore It assembles, and denies tho right, of tho as¬ 
sembly to touch the chief conditions of tbe settle¬ 
ment. Meanwhile tho war spirit Is hot and In¬ 
tolerant In England ; preparations for war at* 
rapidly pushed forward. Austria Is growing very 
restive and the outlook Is stormy. 1 1 seems prob¬ 
able that the new Pope, Leo XIII. will become re¬ 
conciled to the various governments with which 
Plus IX was at variance.
