THE VEGETABLE KINGDOM QuIzzfcAIlY Con-
sIDERED. Read what Captain, Job Prest,
in his Wonderful Adventures says of the
vegetable kingdom.
The term egetablo-somotimos prOnounc-
ed vegetables probably derived from the
peculiar long and pointed form of this des-
crintion of esculonts hence originally called
wedgc-eatablc, and now refined IN the pre-
sent form.
Annual towering plants resemble whales,
as they come up to blow.
Flowers are very warlike in their dis-
position, and ever armed with pistils.
They are migratory in their habits, for
wherever they may winter, they are sure to
leave in the spring, most OF them very polite
and full of boughs
Like dandics, the coating Of many trees
is thor most valuable portion. Cork trees,
for instance.
Grain and seeds are not considered dan
gerous except when about to shoot.
Several trees Like watch-dogs, are vflued
mostly for their bark.
little bark will make rope, but it
takes large pile of wood for a cord.
Though there no vegetable boaux, there
are number Of spruce trees.
1t is considered only right and proper to
AK trees before you fell them.
Fruit trees have military characteristics
w hon young they are trained have nnuny
kernels and their shoots are straight.
Grain must be treated like infants when
the head bends it must be Graded ; and
threshing is resortcd to, to fit it for use.
Iares are mostly found with smaller
grains-which require sowing
Great indulgence in fruit is dangerous
and too free use Of melons produces a
melon-colic effect.
Old maids are fond Of pears-but cannot
endure any reference to dates.

The Govcrnorship Of Kansas.

Geary's failure, as governor Of Kansas, 10
not surprising under he circumstances.
Commencing and continuing with q recog-
milton of the validity Of the enactucnts {
the Ruliian Legislature, his attempt to reme-
dy the evils Of which those laws are the
fountain head, of course could not succeed
while in declining to be the absolute tool Of
the border rufians, in their attempt to force
slavery upon Kansas, and in endeavoring to
render sOmo measure Of justice to the
Free State men-which of late he has un-
questionably tried to do-he lost the sup
port of the pro-slavery party and Of the ad-
ministration. Pierce fatty broke his
pronlse or snrrort hy money, mihtNry did
and general cooperation The territorial
judiciary thwarted and defed him; and when
he required the administration to choose
between him and Lecompte he was insulted
by the farce of an appointment of a success
sor to Lecompte, without the removal Of
that functionary. Moreover there is no
doubt that his life was in immediate danger,
and he cannot be blamed for declining to
continue in peril where he could be Of no
service.
1t is not probable that Geary would have
resigned, had he had any reason to expect
any better support at the hands of the new
administration than he received from the
old. lfany thing has been wanting to indi-
cate fully the position Of the present Ad-
th,a -
of Gov. Gearys successor will supply it.
The mere fact that the office has been ten
dered to a southerner, we consider OF small
consequence. a southerner like Gov.
Aiken would be infinitely preferable to a
northern doughface. Whether Mr.. Robert
j. Walker, of Mississippi, will undertake
the office, or not, remains to be seen.

A Hard CASE tyL,v-Nr. G.. n yeteron

\ HARD CASE N LAW Mr.. g., veteran
lawyer Of Syracuse, used to tell a story Of n
clicnt,a impetuous old farmer by the name of
Merrick, who had difficulty with q cabinet
maker. As was usual in such q case, the
matter excited a great deal of interest among
the neighbors, who severally allied them
selves with one or the other of the contending
parties, Atlcngth, however, to the mutual
disappointment Of the allies the principals
effected a compromise, by which Merrick
was to take, in full Of all demands, the
cabinet makers note for forty dollars, OF SIX
months, payable in cdJinet-pare.
Lawyer G., was called upon to draft the
necessary papers to consummate the settle
ment, which having been duly executed and
delivered, the matter was supposed to be
fully and amicably arranged.
g., saw no more of the parties until about
six months after, when one morning, just as
he was opening his Office, old Mr. Merrick
came riding niriously up, dismounted and
rushed in, detiantly exclaiming
Il say, Squire, am bound TO take coHns'
1t seems on the note falling due, the OBJ
stinatc cabinet maker had refused to pay
him in any other way.

SINGULAR PRESENCE OF MIND.-Last week
at one of the numerous fires about London
there was plentiful supply of water, but, =,
by some accident. great scarcity of hose.
The flames were gaining the mastery every
second when Il lady who was present touch
ed by the dilemma did not hesitate mo
ment, but pulling off her jupoR, removed
from it the inflated india-rubber tubes,
which form part and rather II considerable
parcel Of n lady's dress now a-days These
tubes consisting of several yards, were i'm
mediately attached to the engine, and play
si the impromptu part Of hose most eiiectual
ly.-The consequence was, the progress OF
the flames was arrested, and ultimately, the
building saved.
The name of the lady to whose presence
of mind this fortunate result wna mainly
owing, is not known. as, after the damage
voluntarily inflicted on her dress, she, with
refined dcicacy, that cannot be too highly
praised, instantly sought refuge in flight

BEN. 1ALLETT The removal of Ben Hal
1T from office has surprised everybody. Mo
one seems to understand the reason. 1t is
thought Mr.. Buchanan has acted very un-
judciousy in thus giving Mr.. lIalctt the
cold shoulder. This treatment seems to be
very similar to that shown Col. Forncy' 1t
is n piece cut from the same cloth. There
has never been a more unscrupulous sup
porter of niger driving Democracy in the
North than this same Ben. llallett 1t was
he who drafted the Cincinnati Platform
which Mr. Buchanan SO readily declared
was himself-and it is the same Ben. Hal
lett who has been the leader of the dough
faces, done all the engineering for the slave
catching democracy of New England for the
past ten years. His dextrous but contomp-
tiblc management connected with the rem
dition of Anthony Burns, and the indict-
ment he drew up against Theodore Parker,
Wcndall Phillips, and divers other people,
for high treason in making speeches in Fa-
nuel Hall, will be remembered. As for our
selves we are rather more pleased than
otherwise ut this treatment of Mr.. IIallett,
but in consideration of his efficiency and
willingness to do the dirty work Of the
Shareholders for little government pap. we
think it very unkind indeed that this
should be taken away from him.

SIAvERY.-A committee of five clergymc

NAV folsake one wife and take new one
in fact they may take a new wife at each

practice, but we believe it has never before
received the open sanction of any branch OF

argue that the slave must. and may right

matter-eyen to the extent of promiscuou'

that acknowledgements that would be ioI
