equality of the sexes--a touchy point with
her. He put IN.
"Tell me, then, Kate, why animals form

~ Judge Wilson Of Chicago, ia a

will be recognized as true:
In determining the question Of inten-

perience, hal It's, and previous employment
Of the party charged, for, as a general rule,
while, while it is fair to presume . man
honest who obtains his living BY honest
Industry, it is equally fair to presume
man dishonest who has no legitimate

lMP0RTANrGEoLoGICALFACTs.-At the
recent meeting Of the American assoeia-
ton for the advancement OF science, some
interesting facts were presented in regard
to the recent discoveries, in the western
territories of the United States, Of fossil re-
mains Of the elephant, rhinoceros, camel
and other animals that have heretofore
been suppo5od to exist only in the torrid
zone; also two mastodons Of unusual des-
cription, and other evidences which seem
to show that this part Of the globe has
experienced q radical change Of climate
since the creation Of the world, and that
Ia all probability our hemi8pero is the old
Ter Of the two.
These facts present a most interesting

TWENTY-FIVE RAINY DAYS N OgE
MosrH.-To-d day closes the Spring Of
1855, as well as the month of May, and
tomorrow Summer commences. A friend
who has noted the weather, informs us
that it has rained on twenty-five days of

So much rain in this month has never
been known to the Oldest inhabitants of
Illinois, in any former year. Very little
corn is yet in the ground. The prospect
for that cron Is decidedly discouraQinR.-

an object of poetic interest 1t enjoys the
reputation Of living hundred yesrs, at the
expiration OF which is bursts into perfect glo-

Agave is found throughout the tropical por-
tions of the American continent, from the
plains almost on level With the sea to
mountain elevations Of ten thousand feet.
But from these regions j. has been carried to
the gardens Of the temperate zone. The
story Of its longevity is not precisely conss-
tent with the truth. 10 hot climates the
plant grows rapidly and soon completes its
term OF existence; but 10 colder regions, or
where it has the careful tending Of skiiful
gardener, it has been known 70 reach the age
Of seventy years. The Agavs has a short.
cylindrical, woody stem, which is terminated
by long spiny leaves of blueish green color.
Few of the leaves wither away before the
plant has attained its maturity. Having ac-
qured its !ull growth it shoots up gigantic
flower, surrounded with multitude of bran.
