stems OF water plants are hollow and Of va

vascular bundles We shall find layer Of
cells traversing the bundles; on the in
side Of this. toward the center of the
stem, the cells form the proper wood of
the hbro-vascular buadle, and on the outer
side, toward the circumference, the cells
are closer and more compact. The layer
between these portions is called the CAM
blum layer, and the ston Of the oak and
other eroJcns is strengthened by continual
increase Of wood fiber outside this layer, OF

AETEN TOUR CENTURIES.

The four hundrcdth anniversary Of the
birth of Michael Angelo, was celebrated at
Florence recently by giving tothe world the
contents Of u packet which on his death-bed
the sculptor wil!ed to posterity, with the
solemn injunction that it should not be
opened until EIarch 6, 1875. This packet
is said to contain many State papers, secret
correspondence with popcs, princes, and
leading men of Ang"lo's day; and, it is
hinted, something Of his correspondence
with the Marchcsa Pescara. 1t is said Sig
nor Gotti was to publish IL new life Of
Michael Angelo, in italian, French, German
and English, which was to appear also on
March 6; 1876. The house of Michael An
ralo, at Florence, remains much as he left
It more than +h!ec hundred years since.
In the small rooms are pieces of sculpture,
artistic designs, and sketches by the distin-
ruishcd artist, while his dining walls
are covered rith crr5cots. One side Of the
room is devoted 20 ECn OF science, with
Ga,ilco anl his telescope; philosophers oc-
c,l,v another portion Of space, Aristotle
and Plato in tie foremost rank; then come

THE NATCHlTOCHEs OUTRAGE

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
In your statement of the assault recently

several trivial errors which shall not con

culated to leave fair impression on the
public mind as to the main facts.

following extract from your editorial to

am satisfied that the hostility to me is not
personal, but instigated purely by selfish
motives, entreuched behind feeling of
political prescription for opinions sake,
which has been sedul0usly cultivated by
extreme men in my parish. I ask no
special protection; no partisan sympathy;
tious parade of the partisan persecution or
petty social ostracism which may still pur-
sue me. believe that the violent and
vindictive spirit which has held sway in
Natchitoches parish for several months
will finally oulminate in this effort to
wrong the people. by crushing me, and
that there will be reaction in favor of
peace and order as soon as the taxpayers
see the "littl6 game which is being played
on them by their professed friends under

monarchial government can exist in
territory of the extent of ours,
if local self government is to be de-
stroyed. The moment that it is decided
that the States have no rights except such
as are subject to the will Of fuctuating
mejoIities in Congress, then this court may
exercise its functions for few years longer.
but it will, in q short time, give way to the
new order OF things. He knew that it
was not likely that any more laws of this
character would be made in this generation,
but these laws, which are now on the statute
books, must be construed. He concluded
with a glowing appeal to the court to go
decide that the rights of the States would be
pronounced Just as they were when the
Oldest member of the court took his seat,
except, of course. as restricted by the
amendments. Let it still be as from the
dawn of our history, "E Pluribus Unum.'
