members that when he was boy of thir;

little, pale-faced man came into the Office
and handed him printed slip, saying
" My lad, when you use these words, spell
them as here: neater, center, etc. 1t was
Noah Webster travelling about among the
printing offices, and persuading people to
spell as he did, and better illustration
could not be found of the reformer's sa-
gacity, and his patient method of effecting
his purpose.

stalks of those whose leaves were buried
were much blackened as the result of over
feeding. They had died of too much beef
tea. The plants in the third pot were more
vigorous and active in growth than the
plants in the first pot Those deprived of
their roots and with their leaves buried
had pushed up new leaves above the sand.
This experiment proves that the sun-dew
can not only absorb nourishment by its
leaves but can live by their aid alone, and
that heterogeneous material increases its
vigor.

Doctrine. About Denth.

The venerable William Lloyd Garrison
lately had an apima'e ed bout with Baptist
Clergyman, Rev. Mr.. Grennell, over an open
grave. John C. Benson, who had been for
seventy years connected with the business
interests of Paterson, New Jersey, died.
Benson must have been quite an old man
as his business life reached across the span
it was high time for Benson to die. Garri-
son had been his lifelong friend and fellow
thinker on many dead and gone questions,
and attended his funeral. The clergyman
at the grave delivered a sermon about
death being the wages of sin, and all that.
Garrison began to think very radical
thoughts, and could not keep his mouth
shut. He wakened up the mOurners by
dissenting from the preachers views upon
these matters, and characteri0ng them as
foolishness. The dissenter said he saw
nothing in death but natural sequence of
life, and eloGuently and strongly argued
that it was just as natural for a man to die
as it was for him to be born. All nature
was in evidence that there was no wages
of sin about it. He wanted to be under
stood as strongly dissenting from the
preacher, and there was no better place to
enter protest than over the grave of his
friend, who was a good illustration of his
theory of death. The people were amazed
to witness such strange scene at funeral
where preachers have always had their own
way, and considered themselves safe from
question or attack. The preacher, however,
got in the last lick in his concluding prayer,
when he thanked 1.-THE Great Father who
had said that death was sent into the world
as punishment for sir" The dominic had
the last OF it, and therefore the best of it.
IL was very entertaining funeral-that OF
Benson's at Paterson.-&. Louis Republican.

What General Taylor Really Said nj
Buenn Vista.

At the banquet of the veterans of the
Mexican war, held on Tuesday evening,
Hon. L. B. Miner, of Solano. in the course
of an eloquent address, took occasion to
correct an egregiOus fabrication which had
passed into history, attributing to the hero
of Buena Vista the slang admonition, "a
little more grape, Captain Bragg" Such
language was unworthy of the man, and
the historic moment, when the result Of the
war was wavering in the balance, and moth
ing, said Mr.. Miner, would have been more
foreign to the character of General Taylor
IN his manner in trying emergencies than
such an exclamation.
Holding the position of an inter
prefer on the staff of General Taylor"
said the speaker, ~ was seated on
my horse Immediately near him when
Captain Bragg dashed hurriedly up, saluted
the General, and reported: General, shall
have TO fall back with my battery or lose it. )
Several of his guns had already been dis
mounted, q large portion of his horses killed,
and about thirty of his men were PROSTATE
on the heath. On receiving the report Cen
veyed the situation for few seconds-he
required no field glass, for the scene of CON
fi'ct was not far remOved-and the reply
was, Captain Bragg, it is better to lose a
battery than battle This was the inter.
view on which was based the famous slang
phrase that was never uttered by the Gen
eral to whom 1t was imputed. Captain
Bragg returned to his battery with renewed
determination, and by the efforts of that
gallant officer and his brave command the
tide of battle was turned, and the greatest
victory of the war was wOn."-San Fran
cisco Chronicle

A still larger part of the Tennessee and

thirds Of the Virginia crop reported saved.
