A PoLYGLoT BUSINESS. wide-spread
influence of American skill and enterprise has
outstripped the comprehensions of the Amer
leans themselves. The fabrics of our mills
clothe the savages of both continents They
wrap tle lOins of Africa and the tawny skins
OF South American pampas. But wider still
are spread the products of our skill in medi-
cines A late visit to DR.. j. c. Aver & Co.'s
laboratory and Office in Lowell, showed us that
the whole surface of the inhabitable globe pays
its tribute there; there they cater to and serve
the requirements of all nations Their publica-
tions are in the many tongues that widely-sev-
cred peoples use. Their letters must be read
from and written in many tongues, for which
there sit long range of correspondents with
the indispensable accomplishments for their
duties. Their daily mail of half bushel of
letters brings them advces orders and remit
tances from the circle of the world. We were
overwhelmed with amazement, and our read
ers would be by an inspection of this wonder
fully extensive, health-dealng enterprise.

A HUNTING EXPEDITION. None day this week
two amateur sportsmen of this city concluded
to take jaunt into the rural districts for the
purpose of doing little hunting. So, not be-
ing very eminent disciples of Nimrod them
selves, they secured the services of two hounds
renowned for their exploits in the hunt and the
chase, and started out. Arrived at the "happy
hunting grounds" in Falmouth they started
for the woods. Passing a brook on their way,
one dog stopped to Stake his thirst drank.
turned about,syelped and died. This untoward
occurrence rather dismayed the mighty hunts
men, but they concluded to do the best they
could with one dog, and so continued on their
way. Passing pasture in their line of march,
the dog espied young colt which he probably
mistook for some wild beast and opened on him,
A well delivered kick from the colt hit the
hound on the jowl and laid him out to hunt no
more. Thoroughly discouraged and entertain
ing well grounded doubts of their ability to
continue the hunt unaided our sportsmen
turned their faces homeward, and slowly and
sadly wendell their way to the city. If you
want to make 'em mad, just say hunt to

SOUTHERN PALACE,
$50 MAIN STREET.

Scri6ner's Monthly states that in many
vegetables, when the heat is excessive,
the leaves droop on the stalk, fold them
selves together and wither; when the
cool Of the evening comes, the leaves
straighten, and the plant resumes a Sc
rene and undisturbed appearance.
Drought causes evident suffering TO
plants, for when they are watered after
a prolonged drought they show signs of
satisfaction. The sensitive plant, touched
by the finger, or only visited by a cur
rent of unwelcome air, folds its petals
and contracts itself. The botanist Des-
fontaines saw one which he was convey
ing in a carriage fold its leaves while the
vehicle was in motion and expand them
when it stopped-a proof that it was the
motion that disturbed it. Sensation in
plants is of the same kind as in animals,
since electricity kills and brushes them
as it does animals. Plants may also be
put to sleep by washing them in opium
dissolved In water, and h~ydrocyanic
acid destroys their vitality as quickly as
it does that of animals.

~" MNZ NAHEE rs
An unhappy dog, the victim OF some
serious disappointment, or demented fol
some unknown, gave vigorous ex-
preston 70 his sorrows yesterday morn
ing on Main, near Union street. He
fell on his side and gr0aned, and turned
over ON his back and howled pfte0usly.
The cry went up and down the street
that the dog was mad, and peopie.began
TO leave those parts in great haste. The
dog gave no heed to the conduct Of the
people, but still rolled over and over
again, shrieking shriliy and heart-rend-
.ingly. An enterprising young man ran
forth from a dry goods store hard BY,
pistol in hand, and, approaching eau
tiously 90 q point within thneefe feet of the
dog, and within two feet Of the extreme
apex of the dogs tail, leveled his
shooting-iron and fired. That dog had
been to the wards. He recognized
instantly the smell and sound of ex-
ploded gunpoYder, and never was there
pr0founder SORROW more suddenly re-
lieyed. The dog absquatiIated, YAM
osed, a6csssfG dtbfet, cH9gst, carrit ue-
IOcitdte cTescendO at every m~addening
leap. A thousand people looked on,
and the shOOtist, who evidently could
not hit a barn door, next after that flee
ing animule, was most amazed OF all
the staring multitude. The dog is sup
posed to be running yes; but from the
mOdesty with which the pistolier retired
the field of action we imagine he
is having a quiet time. The Mayor GER
will not employ him when the
days for pounding CANNES dawn
as.
