PArEH PLANr.--Cndcr this head the NJ.
neral Point Tribune publishes an account Of
a newly discovered plant from Mrs. Beau.
mont, of Arena, as follows:
II discovered two years ago a plant that
yields both cotton and fax from the same
root, and believe that am the first person
that over cultivated, spun, and knit from it,
| am persuaded that ever cultivated, spun,
and knit from it. am persuaded that any
article that will make as good cloth as can bo
made from this plant will make good paper;
hence call it the paper plant 1t can be
planted IN the spring, and cut in the fall or
winter. 1t blcaches itself white as it
stands, and will yield at least three or four
tons to the acre.
From single root that transplanted
last spring, there grew twenty large stalks,
with three hundred and twenty pods (con-
timing the cotton) with at least sixty seeds
in each. From this root obtained seven
ounces of pure cotton, and over half n
pound of flax. tits very heavy plant, and
grows from six to seven feet high
The Tribune adds that it has seen several
samples of the cotton and flax prepared from
this plant by Mrs. Beaumont, and thinks
that for the manufacture of paper it will
prove better and cheaper that any other
known article.

MONROE EDwARDs.-In the correspondence
Of the late Daniel Webster, which is about
10 be published by Little, Brown, & Co., OF
Boston, we find some interesting anecdotes
The singular deception of Monroe Edwards,
practccd upon Lord Spencer is told at
length. II may be remembered that in lSi3,
while this notorius individual was in Eng.
land, he presented to Lord Spencer forged
letter Of Introduction Of Mr.. Webster. and
took advantage of the cvilitcs extended to
him on that account, to borrow of that no.
blcman the sum of three hundred pounds,
having been foilcd, as he pretended, in some
negotiations he had lately undertaken
Shortly after, Lord Spencer hearing some.
thing which led him to suspect the true
character Of Edwards, wrote to Mr.. Webster,
stating the circumstances and his suspicion,
but declaring that he was nevertheless glad
Of the opportunity of thus showing his re-.
gard for Mr. Webster, and those who bore
his recommendation. To this Mr.. Webster
returned an answer, denying any acquaint.
ance with Edwards, and exposing him as a
bad character; but in the meantime, the ad.
roit forgcr had managed to pay up, and be.
fore receiving the answer, Lord Spencer
wrote another letter, announcing that Ed.
wards had acted like an honorable man, and
apolosizing for ever having harbored sus.
picion against Mr., Wcbster's friend.

Wife,
A subscriber asks this singular question.
We answer, she was Gains wife. That's
all we knew about hcr, save that she was
the mother of Enoch, 1t is said that Cain
went into the land of Nod aud we suppose
tha, he took his wife with him as any good
husband would. In the land Of Nod they
had Enoch, and probably other children not
a few, and grand children, for they built a
city there. The city probably was not so
large as St. Louis is, but it very likely was
a large household, Of which Cain was pa
triarch. 1t might have been his own and the
families Of his children, living in scpcrate
dwellings.
What Gains wfc's name was, and whn
her parents were, we are not certified She
might have been the daughter of Adam and
Eve, or some Of their children. She was
probably closely related to Cain, or sister,

SNAKES IL INDiA.-The mortality result
ing from snakes in the Scinde is said to be
frghtful. Deaths from this cause, taken in
conjunction with the slaughter occasoned
by wolves In n2njab, amounting to twice as
much again, and the destruction in few
months Of thirteen men by tigers Of Singa-
pore, says the Bombay Times, impress the
mind more fcrcbly with the fact OF scanty

CHuRSiSG IN WINTER. R.-In cool as well as

made, that butter won't come" A writer
in the Mime Farmer las these sensible re.
marks on the subject:
The trouble arises from not getting the
cream properly warmed at the moment Of
churning. 1t must be warm when put into
the churn; it is not to be warmed, and then
churned bye.and.bye, whether warm or
cold but warm it and then churn at once.
Butter never came in the world when it was

stairs it would not come until it had been
slightly warmed. Some smiled at my prac.

the first Nf autumn, set the cream in the
sun for two hours, and then churn. Now
heat some water, put the pot of cream into
it, and stir the cream till it feels a little
warm, and then churu about half an hour,
and bring good butter.

proper feeling OF the respect due to the OBJ

abstain from his work on Sunday and by
this determination, he diminished by four
days the period allowed him; at the same
time, by SO doing, he increased the daily
average Of his strokes to upwards Of forty
one thousand. On the first day he executed
about fifty thousand strokes; on the second,
nearly as many. But at length, after many
days, the hand became stiff and weary, the
wrist swollen, and it required the almost
constant attendance Of some assiduous rela

A SOLDIER OF LIBERTY. Sixteen years
ago, says the New York Tribune, there lived
in Newport, Monmouthshirc, England-or
more strictly, Wales-a respected, thrifty,
upright merchant named John Frost who
had been Mayor of that town in 1887, and
for yearspreviously, as he still was, Justice
Of the Peace. Personally, he had no enc
mics, and seemed likely to pass the evening,
as he had passed the morning, of his days,
in quiet industry and content. But he
was q Chartist-that is, Republican-and
sought to have the government of his native
land modified in accordance with his con-
victions. A demonstration was made by
the Chartists of his locality, which was
treated by the government as rebellion :;
he was arrested, tried, and, with two others
w. Jones and H. Williams-convicted
(Jan. 1870 Of high treason, and thcreupon
sentenced to be hanged, bchcaded, drawn
and quartered-as prescribed by the civil
lied and merciful law of Christian England.
The sentence could not have been executed,

ing, without provoking further bloodshed
so it was conmuted into transportation for
life to British penal settlement in Van Die
"'"" % HH"', "hSiS they, Will OtHcT Cou-
victs, arrived, in June 1910.
There, among the vilest and most aban-
doned felons, treated as their comradc and
equal, John Frost passed more than fourteen
years Of his' life, witnessing deeds of de-
pravity and of cruelty which demons might
blush to father Some of these are too
horrible to be even distinctly alluded to. At
length, in December last, he, with other po-
l'tical malefactors, was liberated on condition
of perpetual banishmcnt from the. British
dominions, and set sail for the United States,
where he arrived in June last.
Mr.. Frost has chosen this country to close
his career in and will hence continue his eff.
forts, by letters and publications, to enlight-
Ell the British millions, and aid them to
shake off The oppression and plundering
rule Of the Aristocracy. Though seventy.
one years of age, he hopes to become an
American citizen; and those who are ac-
quainted with his modest bearing and solid,
unassuminy worth, will say that there are
few better calculated TO do honor to that
