Peas Three Thousand Years Old.

In the course of late explorations in
the ancient ruins of Egypt, Gen. An
derson, an English traveller, found in
closed in a sarcophagus beside q num-
my, o few dry peas, which he preserved
carefully and, on his return to Great
Britain, planted in the rich soil of the
island of Guernsey. The seeds germin-
ated, and soon TWO little plants appeared,
from which, at maturity, sufficient peas
were gathered to plant quite a large
tract Of ground in the following season.
Some of the plants thus raised have
attained a height of over six feet, and
have been loaded with blossoms Of
exquisite odor, and of a delicate rose
tint. The peculiar feature of the
growth is the stem, which is small
near the root, but increases in size as
it ascends, requiring a support to
sustain it upright. The pods, instead
of being distributed around all por-
lions of the stem, as in the ordinary
plant, are grouped about the upper
extremity.
The vegetable, it is said, belongs to
the ordinary garden variety: but from
its presenting the very distinctive diff
f~elences above noted, it seems worthy
of close botanical examination. The
are of remarkably fine flavor, ex-
in delicacy those of the choicest
varieties.

We call this O. new world. What do

There are records in existence, handed
down from the ancient City of Mexico,
in which the accounts of tribes who,
centuries before, coming from the north,
built and founded a kingdom in that
island. Where does the north lie ?
Why is there no voice to break the ST.
lence of ages, and tell where this strange
but uncivilized people came from?
Only the red hand beckons scholar and
investigator backward to the contem-
plation of a time and a people whose

Night and Moonlight.

Many men walk by day /; few walk by
night. 1t is a very different season.
Take a July night for instance. About
10 o'cloek-wheR man is asleep and day
fairly forgotten-the beauty of moon.
Light is seen yer lonely pastures where
cattle are silently feeding. On all sides
novelties present themselves. Instead
of the SUI there are the moon and stars,
instead of the wood-thrush there is the
Whip-poor-Will,-instea of the butter
flies in the meadows, fre-fies, winged
parks of fire who would have be-
lieVed it? What kind Of cool, deliber-
ate life dwells in those dewy abodes as
ISOLATED with spark of fire? So man
has fire in his eyes, or blood, or brain.
Instead Of singing-birds, the half
throttled notes Of d cuckoo flying over,
the croaking Of frogs, and the ~intenser
dream of cricketa. But above all, the
wonderful trump of the bull-frog, ring.
ing from Maine to Georgia. The po-
tato vines stand upright, the corn grows
apace, the bushes loom, the grain fields
are boundless. On our open river ter
races, once cultivated by the Indian,
they appear to occupy the ground like
an a~rmy,-tlleir heads nodding in the
breeze. Small trees and shrubs are
seen in the midst, overwhelmed as II by
an inundation. The shadows OF rocks
and trees, and shrubs and hills are
more conspicuous than the objects them
selves. The slightest Irregularities in
the ground are revealed by the shadows,
and what the feet find comparatively
smooth appers rough and diversified in
consequences. For the sane reason the
whole landscape is more variegated and
picturesque than by day. The smallest
recesses IN the rocks are dim and cav
ernoua the ferns in the woods appear of
tropical size. The sweet fern and IN

Some of the best-knoWn spiritualists
seem to believe from this that Nh. and
Mrs. Holmes have at some time pre-
sented the .veritable "Katie King"
and, failing to reproduce the manifesto
tions, were led to employs confederate.
How long the humbug would have pros
pered If the Holmeses and their mis-
guided assistant had not disagreed, it is
impossible to say. "Katie's" conscience,
however, began to trouble her greatly
when she learned what an effect her per-
formances had created, and al last. feel
ing that she'could no longel,,practice the
deception, she left Mrs. Holmes to her
own devices. For several weeks no
Katie appeared, IS the "medium"
| found it q difficult task to secure q
young woman similar in features and
form to the first confederate. One
young lady, whose appearance pleased
her, was asked to play the part Of Katie
King, but refused with horror. She
afterwards related the circumstance to
a prominent spiritualist, and the onse-
quence has been a complete exposure
of the whole fraud.
Both Robert Dale Owen and DR.. Child
feel deeply Inundated at having been
SO deceived, aud, more than that, lend
ing their influence to tho support of
what is now proved to be q trick, and
are doing all in their power to undo at
least part of the harm. The doctor has
bought from the publishers of his book
on " John and Katie King" every vol
ume on hand, some 5000 worth, and has
ordered it's publication to be discontin-
ued. Mr.. Holmes, who has been one
of the chief actors in the cabinet
seances, was at one time the editor Of q
religious journal in Georgia.
From his doings here, and information
which has recently been received con-
corning certain irregularities in London,
it is very evident That he has fallen
grace. "Katie King" who was
forced into this business by poverty, is
much to be pitied, for she long felt the
Wickedness of deception IN such a sub
iect, and is now suffering all the pangs
If emorse Even those whom by her
she has so deceived feel that the
young woman is deserving Of sympathy
instead of condemnation, and all stead
astly refuse to diVulge her name, giving
IS a reason that the poor woman has
suffered enough. The Holmes
eances have not yet closed, and the
Mediums still persist in their assertion
hat they win yet show "Kate King"
the most strict test conditions.
I the spirit of the original "Katie
King" was really materialized through I
florence Cook in London, al Pfof. 1
and DR.. Crooks both testify,
here is no reason why she cannot ap- {
