The Commissioner of Education 10
preparing circular designed to be sent
to every college, university and school
in the country, requesting from those
in charge complete history OF such
institution from it's commencement,
with drawings and models OF the build
ipgs used. The idea is to make a di-
gest of these reports, and to exhibit the
whole at the Centennial Anniversary
in 1876, at Philadelphia. The Bureau
will prepare from it's own material q
history OF schools and colleges in Amer
ics, embracing among others an ac-
count OF the school at jamestown,
whice was the first ever known in
America.
The European Syndicate
Is to present claim for commission on
the new five per cent bonds, in which
the Geneva award is to be invested ac-
cordiug to act of Congress, which will
net that clique one hundred and fifty
odd thousand dollars. in addition to
which the claimants will get interest
from the time the award is paid next
September, or sooner, should England
decide to pay earlier, which, it Is hints
ed, is probable.

.... The Late Fire.
The origin Of the fire at the Navy
Department has been discovered. 1t
appears that the employers Of the Cab

which were saturated with llnseed oil,
and benzine, underneath the shstand,
isnited from spontaneous combustion.
Workmen to day are employed in roof

Georgia is divided on the question
whether the state will be most benefited

whether this project or that Of the coast

important advantages are claimed for
the latter route. that it is feasable with

An Exciting Scene on the Plains.
From the Denver News.

FROM the DenNeT VSWSs
Out on the plains about two hundred
miles from Denver, is vertical bluff
seventy-five feet high. A party Of hun.
tiers recently stampeded q herd Of bsfia-
loes right to the brink of the precipice.
The foremost brutes, appreciating their
critical situation, attempted to avert the
calamity, but the frightened hundreds
behind crowded forward with charac-
teristic persistency. The front rank,
with legs stretched towards each cardi-
nal point of the compass, beloved in
concert and descended to their fate.
Before the pressure from behind could
be stopped, the next rank and the next
followed, initiating the gesture and the
below ofthe fret. For thirty seconds it
rained buffaloes, and the white sand at
the root Of that bluff was incarnadine
with the life blood of wild meat, and
not until the tails OF fifty or seven
ty five OF that herd had waved adieu to
this wicked world did the movement
cease.

an English lavender field? Very few certainly

within thirty miles OF London these lavender
beds cover not less than FIVE hundred acres of
ground, and in Herefordshire and other shires
much more. Oflate years the raising of laVen-
der has become quite an extensive and recogniz-

England alone, sufficient oil from the plant to
manufacture thirty thousand gallons OF spirits
oi lavender, besides large quantity, the total
OF which is unknown, to be used in the produc-
non OF other perfumes with more pretentious
names. The plant is at its best between three
years Of age aud seven. The harvest time is
the hrst week in August The flowers are then
sut aud taken to the distillery. followed by 40
.ununerable multitude of bees, which insects
are s;o, especially fond of them. Here the essen:
ual oil is pressed out, and is ready to be mixed
