ACHaNGE Of sPECIEs.

DIR. Lee-Will an apple tree bitten
off BY COW produce red baws, or
grapevine planted IN the fall and
touched by frost bear slderbtrries?
These queries are suggested by an arti-
Gle on Orchard Grass and Cheat IN
the Rural San Of the 10th inst, in
which the writer says that wheat grazed
and oats frosted produce cheat We
are aware that there was such a belief
some centuries since, and there are
possibly remains Of the idea at this day
IN the minds Of those who plant corn
and make soap IN the moon, but 1 GER
tainly did not think that such doctrine
was taught by learned teachers Of
agriculture. If We are not mistaken,
the Country Gentleman had in its col
umns for years, areEard Of 81 900 Of
fered for a single specimen of cheat or
chess grown from a seed OF wheat.
GRANGER.
Granger is right in regard 20 the offer
of the Country Gentleman Of $1,000 re-
ward to any one who could demonstrate
the possibility Of a head Of cheat grow
ing from a seed Of wheat, oats, barley
or timothy. No one ever claimed the
money; and the idea Is as absurd as to
say and believe that a pound Of iron
viii change to a pound Of gold, or a
like weight Of diamonds. Horses might
chang TO men, and men to birds flying
in the air, and these to fish swimming
in the sea, quite as easily. Possibly 1t
might have been easy and as well for
the earth and all celestial bodies to lie.
volve the other way so that the sun
should forever rise III the west and set
in the east; but it Is pretty certain the
Creator did not make things to move
inthat direction. Natures laws should
be more studied by the mass of man
kind that all may understand and obey
them. Nine-tenths Of our diseases,
sufferings, poverty and crimes have
their root and daily nourishment in
IGNORANCE of natural laws.

the fire was, that one of the employees
carried 10 a bundle Of iron.ties and threw
it down on some steel, which produced a
spark that lgnlted the loose COTTON. A

Yesterday a sick German, Adolph
Reumpe, was received at the station
house, but it was impossible to send him
out to the hospital that day. He said
that he had been at work in the country
aud had been sick with the swamp fever.
He ate dinner, but complained of being
quite unwell. This morning he was
found dead in the poor dodgers room.
Coroner Spelman held an inquest upon
the body and the jury returned a verdict
Of death from natural causes. His eff
tects, beside the clothing which he wore.
were a red cotton handkerchief, two pair
OF new socks, a razor, small looking.
glass, brass penholder and ninety.Gye
cents in money. Nobody knew any
thing of his former history, and his
friends and relatives will miss him and
probably know naught Of his death until
the great Judgment Day.

trading on the other side Of the street
should take car to cross while they are
IN the suburbs. Numerous ill-bred per.
sons, with carriages, on arriving ia the
business portion Of the city, stop their
horses so that the heads of the coughing
brutes hang over the crossings, and the
individual who attempts to 90 from one
side of a street to the other learns more
about the equinal disorder than there is
any particular necessity for his knowing.
The books Of etiquette contain nothing
about stopping horses, aud as the police
cant see to everything, the crossings of
streets should be attended to somewhere
in the region Of the city limits.
