Allen, Poole a 90.

As indicated In our notice u few days
ago OF the suspension OF Messrs, allen,
Poole n Co., the creditors were called
together and, after careful examine
ton of their affairs by committee OF
i've Of the creditors appointed or Sc.
leoted for that purpose, II was found
that the assets were ~ 10000, linbill-
ties only S777,0OO, leaving surplus of
S052, 900.
Upon ascertalnlng that the affairs Of
the firm were IN such good condition,
II was unanimously agreed to extend
to them such time ~ was asked by
them, to enable them TO realize enough
to pay all their liabilities without sac
rihcing any of their assets. In order,
however, to avoid being annoyed, and
TO place themselves In aposition Where
they would not be subjected to suits by
parties who were not present at The
meeting, aud who, perhaps, feel like
Oblecting TO grant the additional time,
II was deemed best for ull parties In
interest, that deed Of trust, TO Include
all their assets, he executed To three
trustees, TO be elected by the creditors,
and whose duties shall be TO consult
and advise freely with Messrs. Allen,
Poole d Co., and 10 generally look after
the interests of the creditors, Mr..
George Sealy, Captain Charles Fowler
and Mr. Il. A. Shepherd were selected
rs trustees.
1t is gratifying TO us to record the
fact Of the great unanimily Of feeling
existing among the creditors. The
prevailing expression of sentiment was
TO place these gentlemen on their feet
again at once.
There will be another meeting of the
creditors on Tuesday morning, simply
for the purpose of confirming what has
already been done and to sign the ar
ticlcs OF agreement, now being pre-
pared; and after that is effected the
'stormn can be considered over. and
the business of the firm will 90 along
as usual much to the qualification OF
their friends, and the business commu-
nifty in general.--[Galveston News.

The EFFECT CT CAMPHoR ON SEEDS
Some curious and all but forgotten ex-
periments, of much interest to agricuI-
tnre aud gardening, observes a London
paper, have lately been revived by "A
tierman savant. Very many years ago
it was discovered and recorded that wa
ter saturated with camphor had q re-
markable influence upon the germina-
ton OF seeds. Like many other useful
hints, the stupid world took no notice of
this intimation; but Berlin professor
came across the record of il, and he ap-
pears TO have established the fact that
solution of camphor stimulates vegeta-
bes as alcohol does animals. He took
seeds in various sorts of pulse, some of
the samples being three or four years
old, and therefore possessing very
slight degree of vitality. He divided
these parcels, placing one moiety of
them between sheets OF blotting paper
simply wetted, and the other under
strictly similar conditions between
sheets soaked in the camphorated wa
ter. In many cases the seeds did not
swell at all under the influence of the
simple moisture, but in every case they
germinated where they were subjected
10 the camphor solution. The expert
ment was extended to different kinds of
garden,seeds, old and new, and always
with the same result of showing a sim
gular wakening of dormant vitalism
aud wonderful quickening of growth.
IL also appears from the professors re-
searches that the young plants thus set
shooting continued TO increase with a
vigor and vivacity much beyond that of
those which were not so treated. On
the other hand when pounded camphor
was mixed with the soil, it appears to
exercise rather bad effect upon seeds.
The dose in this latter case was possibly
too strong. At all events, there is hero
line of inquiry well worth following
up by seedsmen and gardeners: and ev-
en- farmers might try how tar wheat and
barley would profit from the strange
property which seems to be possessed
by this drug over the latent life of vegs-
table germs.
