A Curious PLAST.-We have been told OF
a singular plaut, unique in its habit and apN
pearance, that was lately observed in the Hot
Creek District. Think Of a delicate vine like
plant, almost As line as hair. holding myriad
tiny leaves, nearly impereeptlble, and OF
bright emerald green, that will grow and
thrive in hot water. This curious plant was
first observed in the water of Hot Creek. near
the point where numberless hot springs gush
forth and pour their steaming waters into the
creek Itreauires q high temperature, for it
was not found growing where the water was
onlv warm, or IN which the hand corld be
borne. 1t appears ike a small vine, rarely
exceeding six inches IN length. end grows
entirely under water. The color is bright
emerald. and its texture is as soft aud fine as
the hair on the head Of, the maiden. III
countless tiny leaflets, resembling points OF
emerald, are about a sixteenth OF an inch
long, and no wider than hair. The plant
grows on stones in the hot water of the creek,
from which they shoot out horizontally, and
float most gracefully, and they lie so closely
together that. as they wave and undulate
thew remind one of the haif on the head OF Q
child as it moves gently to the soft breeze. q
beautiful effect was produced by the watei
from the springs passing rapidly over clusters
of these vines, causing wavy, tremulon'
motion. like soft moonbeam falling asian
on gently ripping water. Many efforts wer'
made, in spite Of scalded hands, to gathe
and preserve specimens Of the plant, but
was so tiny and delicate that il was found 3

Il IT NOT ESouGH. Our critics are beconi-
ing remorseless. With ssrdonc grin they
puncture the traditions of ages, and leave
but the shadow of skeleton. A short time
ago one of these chaps took the romance out
OF the Pocahontas theory much to the cha
grin Of the Virginia chivarv who we're claim
Ing to be her legitimate lineal descendants,
Since then more ancient romance las been
spoiled. Guillieme Tell, the Sviss hero,
has been proved 10 be myth, or what il
about The same. borrowed hero, who had
been battered about from nation 10 nation for
centuries. Thus, one by one Of the stories
that are poured into the ears of gaping youth
stories once used in the text books Of our
schools, to excite our wonder and admiration,
are Invested OF their romantic qualities, and
become like other myths. The critic might
have passed things over, especially the John
Smith story. and let the sons of Virginia
have the consolation of believing they were,
as they claimed TO be, the descendants OF the
most heroic and beautiful Indian maiden
Which ever existed The spoiled romance
makes doubtful ancestry to many OF the
+. Z. V. 5 or the Old Dominion.

LegaI Advertising.

We commend the following, from the
Stark County Ledger, a Democratic paper
TO the consideration of the Plymouth Dem
ocfat. We have asked the latter sheet
several times to Justify, morally and legally
if it could, the distinction it makes in price
between legal and other advertising, but
/, it TOT 'ly ignores the s'seiect, and, So faI
as tha. theme is concerned is rs dumb as
Balaam's beast, thereby admitting the indie

in this respect But notwithstanding ii
cannot justify its course it still adheres 10

reason, we suppose, that it can only 1--we

such sharp practice as little better than

other publishers have adopted this invidi
Gus and unjust rule. it i, no more harm for
him TO make money by such questionable
means than others. Perhaps not but tko
falim'y of such logic is easily shown. But
read what the Ledger saws on the subject:
''Therc are a few of our exchanges in

From Isisi,eyi,lc.

Nh EDtroR.-on the 20th of April. the
following remarkable production appeared
in the Democratic organ at South Bend
lad:
'.LAKEyILIE.-Woarc arc uiuch dissatisfied
with the manner in which the Union is dis
tribUted TO subscribers at the above Post
Office. Whose fault is it that week after
week. n,cn--lawful subScribers-fail 10 OBJ
tain their newspapers: VIII some one
answer.
I answered Immediately by writing to
the II aion" that it was "A sricvous mistake,
or a malicious falsehool. Thst the truth
was, one fourth Of their papers were posi-
lively refused, one fourth. seldom called for,
and the remainder were promptly deliver
ed. requested them to back down their
cart and get their trash, but have had no
response
The Piyn'uth Democrat copied the above
extract from the National Union and in It's
comments saws:
I'VE have a few subscribers to The Dem
oerat living near Lakeville and they get
their papers at this office. for the reason that
the postmaster at that place. as they say,
does not distiib Ite Democratic papers"
The only copy of the Plymouth Demo
crat that ever came to this Office. since
have been p NJ, is directed to John Hen
dersOn, and he gets it regularly. The ed
itor of the Democrat cannot and will not
give the names OF his subscribers who in
formed him that the postmaster at that
place does not distribute Democratic pa.
pers.' But, perhaps, he will be kind
enough to publish the names of his subscri-
bers near Lakeville, who, he says. is COM
PEELED TO come to Plymouth for their pa
pers, and at the same time tell why they
pass by the Walnut Hill p. q.

Mr.. COIfaX I'm New York

The New York Tribune OF the Sth
publishes the following concluding portion
Of a speech delivered by Mr.. Colfax in
New York on the evening Of the 9th inst:
81 regret, indeed. that Mr.. Sumner 5
amendment requiring provisions in the
new Constitution for universal education
as a. condition of reconstruction, did not
prevail; but hope the good sense of the
Southern people will establish it voluntaril'-
lnsuring them a warmer welcome as they
return TO the council board. But | cannot
omit to state that one Of the essentials Ia
the reconstruction policy is the election of
Congressman who can honestly and truth
fully take the oath required by law. We
shoUld have been faithless, and worthy of
the ''slow, unmovIng finger OF scorn,' if
this essential had not been insisted on
infiexibly. When the waves of treason
swept over all that region there were a
faithful few who refused TO bow the knee
to Baal- Branded as traitors to the Con-
federacy because they would not surrender
their birthright, they never swerved from
their allegiance. Punished by confisca-
ton and robbery, threatened with outrage
and death, they never faltered; and when
they could no longer live peacefully at
their homes, they fled TO the mountains,
the caves, and the swamps, and said. sWel-
come confiscation, robbery, exile or death;
but we stand by the Stars and Stripes to
the last drop of our blood and the last beat
of our hearts" Applause. God bless
these faithful Union men. They are to
lead back these States clad in new robes
of liberty and justice; and we should have
had "Anathema Marantha" written on our
doorsills if we had abandoned them in our
hour of victory. / cannot doubt the
future of the great party which has won
these triumphs and established these prin-
ciples. 1t has been so brilliantly success
ful, because it recognized liberty and JUS
tice as its cardinal principles; and because,
scorning all prejudices and defying all op-
prObrium, it allied herself to the cause of
the humble and the oppressed. 1t sought
to enfranchise, rot to enchain; to elevate,
not TO tread down; TO protect, never to
abuse. II cared for the humblest rather
than for the miZhiiest-for the weakest
rather than the strongest. 1t recognizes
