The St Louis Times announces that a
premium was awarded to our townsman,
Col. A. @. Withers, for his planter,
which was tribute to Southern ingenuity.
Col. w. informs us that his planter on
exhibition was not as perfect as it should
have been. This simple, yet wonderful
machine, will plant cotton, corn or dis
tribute fertilizers, and at the same time
harrow the land which it goes over. We
take pleasure in commencing this i'm
plement to the public. As our enter
prising citizens are establishing factories
to get up agricultural implements, we
expect to see the genius of Sonthrons
indicated by the structures.

When Stephen Girard endowed the Col
lege which bears his name, he stipulated in
the deed of gift, in his anxiety to keep it
forever free from any possible sectarian in
huence, that no clergyman should ever be
admitted to its halls. During the recent
Masonic festival in Philadelphia squad of
Knights Templar went out to inspect the
premises. One of them dressed in a straight
breasted coat and wearing a white cravat
was arrested at the entrance, by the janitor
for a clergyman. He exploded terrible
oath of surprise, when the janitor instantly
exclaimed, j beg pardon, sir, you can go
in" Now many viii regard this as funny,
yet knight should be as free from profani-
ty as any clergyman, and this one should
have had some other passport to favor than
that of taking the name of God in vain

Before the election the Staats-Zeitung
contained an appeal to the foreign-born
population of Chicago to come out and
vote down the Puritanical Yankees.
This call was printed in the following
tongues:
German, Irish, Norwegian, Dutch,
Swedish. Bohemian, French, Polish and
Italian.

LEMONS. - Lemons sprinkled with loaf
sugar almost completely allay feverish thirst
They are invaluable in the sick room. Inva-
lids affected with feverishness can safely
consume two or three lemons a day. A
lemon or two thus taken at tea-time, Is re-
commended rs an entire substitute for the
ordinary supper of summer, and will often
induce a comfortable sleep through the

A VEGETABLE OF PREY Writing TO
the Minneapolis Tribune, tourist de-.
scribes the acquisition of that wonder in
tue vegetable world. the Dionga :liusi.
pAu. or Venus Fly-trap. It was only q
dried specimen. for tho plant u native
OF but single locality on the face OF the
globe-the low sandy savannus near Will
miDgton. n. Q. II belongs to the small
but remarkable class Of plants which
have the habit of feeding upon uuimals.
In short, 1T Is that phenomenon in na-
ture. carnirerous vegetable, which will
not flourish uulcss nurturei upon meat
diet. The peculiar ingenuity OF the con-
trirnbce by which it captures its prey, is
the distinguishing characteristic of this
species. Each leaf is tipped with an np.
pendage shaped like the open covers of a
book, with tho corners rounded and the
edges fringcI with stH bristles. This
proves deadly trap to every Insect that
allghts on 1t, for instantly, on feeling the
Irritation, it shuts together, as if by q
spring along the mid-rib, and, interfac-
ing the bristles, holds the luckless victim
tight until his struggles and life cease to-
gether. But this trek Of lily catching is
not pracliced for wantoruess merely.
S'raBgeSt part uf m!l the proceeding, ns

ing prison, from numerous minute glands
Immersed in the texture Of the walls, the
salrva'like liqnid, II rott of gastric juice,
ls given out, that muistens aud dissolves
ALL Its soft parts. which are then taken
into the system Of the plant ky absorp-
tion: When the nutritive portions of
the insect have thus been consumed, the
trap slowly uncloses, and is ready for an
other action. This process is repeated
with rapidity but once or twice, for, as
in all cases where plants have tho cApa.

grow stiff with age. it loses its. seusihiIi-
ties. and gradually decays.

An Indiana gentlcman-you may see
that he was gentleman from remark

wife. He rose. bowed to the twelve good
men and true who had treated him so
handsomely, and thinking that one good
turn deserved another, said, ''Boys, I

to see it? How many men regard

The Mormons, after all, are not going
to Arizona. The country is sterile and
repulsivc-a desert compared with their
paradise on the shores Of Salt Lake; and
the emigrants IRE returning. They had
too muoh capit.l invested in Utah, and
too many associations connected with
their old homes. to voluntarily abandon
them. The elder race are not going to
begin in their old ago to build up new
fortunes or to live now lives, and the
younger vii! probably yield to the re-
quircments of our constitutional govern
ment in civil as we'll as social matters,
rather than go to nu unknown land,
where they may have to choose between
starvation or II tomahawk before they
can get in position 10 protect their set
tlements. The Mormons have evidently
abandoned whatever Slight idea Of cmi-
grafton they ever had, and have given it
mp the more chcerfolly, because just now
their conflict with the Gentiles seems to
be slumbering.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. A sig
nidcant and gratifying incident is re-
corded in the cable derpatchea. in the
reply OF the Queen Of England to the
address Of tho Commons, praying for
the improvement of international law
and the establishment of general aud
permanent system of arbitration with
foreign powers. Fer Majesty declares
TINT she has at all times desired to en-
courage the system of friendly arbitra
ton, and will continue to persevero in
the philanthropic purpose. The reply
was received with hearty English cheers,
which will be echoed wherever advanced
civilization controls the interests of 60
vernments and the destinies OF peoples
In this connection, it may be ventured
that if arbitration is practicable for the
settlement Of differences among natious,
1t is surely feasible between workmen
and employers. remedy strongly urged
