The CASTOR On PLANr.-lhis plant is a
native of India, and has been known from
the earliest antiquity, seeds of it having been
found in Egyptian sarcophagi. 1t was
used by the Greeks. In its native country
it is a perennial, fifteen or twenty feet high
with thick stem. In cold climates it becomes
an annual. There are many instances of
perennial plants becoming ANNALS by change
of climate. The rapid growth of the plant
is illustrated by an instance reported in Ten
nessee. A castor bean was planted in May,
1871, in garden in Memphis, and in No
vember it had grown to the hight of twenty
three feet, with spread of foliage fifteen
feet in diameter. The trunk, ten inches
above the ground, was eighteen inches in
circumference. .-RlfrnI Press.

asked; 'Who is the purch ,ser? this auda-

course of couple of days, to sell the whole
to another party for $35 900, and clear the
difference. The country is now full of

And have made it an invariable rule to

spent is we'll laid out; as, by keeping my
business continually before the public, it

The community was very much enli-
vcned by the Elliott Fair, which was held
i'll the Whittcmore Building now univcr-
sally devoted to public amuscments that
require house room and shelter. 1t was
held OH Wednesday and Thursday nights,
and was complete success; during Shich
everything requisite was brought quietly
and unostentatiously tu bear, and tile
benefits oftact and energy fully rcaped.
1t was not only the pleasure of the ladies
to work zealously for the Elliotts, but
they made it a pleasure to the citizens
who went there to contribute their quota
towards assisting the enterprise. Orna-
ments artificial, real, substantial, COM
tined with beauty and taste to make con-
vcrsstion agreeable and contribution
rather privilege than other wise. This
and the tournament has kept us from
stagnating thus fsr into the summer. Let
lis look for something else to stir up the
blood and keep the young people alive.
The city fathers have the Dolly Warden
Avenue in the interesting state of .'wheth-

to have something, croqnet ground or
IL skating rick or another fair, though

Oar State Convention has met and
endorsed the Cincinnati nomination of
Greeley and Brown as the proper thing,
and aGording to the South the only
chance of changing the complexion of
national politics in such way MS to admit
of our taking some care of ourselves Mt

partisan exponent of liberal Govern
ment at Washington DC, while we are
being robbed at home by an horde of the
worst harpics and most bare-facc robbers,
who were ever foatcd into notice and
position by the untoward turn ofevents.
The chances are that the national Dem
ocratic Convention will, at Baltimore
next month, likewise endorse these men,
and LEI the whole South be arrayed once
moro in behalf Of an honest government,
one free from bayencts, political disabili-
ties, and robbery worse than active war,

now, whether We can get a majority in the
State for Greeley or not, still it is the
duty of every man i'll the State not to be
idle but both vote and work, and aid the
effort of his compatriots to work out their
