VITALITY OF SEEDS.

Two years ago Il few peas, in a very dry
and hard state, were found in a sarcophagus
containing a mummy, in the course of GER
tain excavations going on in Egypt The
idea was conceived Of teasting the vitality
OF these peas, buried as they had been for
thousands OF years. Three of them were
planted, which grew and produced enough
TO cover, in the year following, a considera-
BILE field. Some OF the stalks reached q
height Of more than six feet, and attained
see which was altogether extraordinary.
and a strength which rendered them self
supporting. The flowers were white AMI
and rose colored, aud Of delicious freshness.
The pods were grouped on either side of the
stalk, in sort of circular zone toward the
top, and not regularly distributed through
out the plant, a. in the common pea. Its
believed by those who have examined this
ancient pea and tested its edible qualities
that it belongs to the family of the primary
pea Of our gardens, but that it is q special
variety distinguished by the charact eristics
above mentioned in regard to the form Of
the stalk and the disposition of the pods.
In confederation OF the fact that seeds
will retain their vitality for an indefinite
period when embedded deep in the earth,
Prof Won Heldreich, of Athens, Greece,
states that on the removal of the mass of
Stag accumulated in working the Lauriun
silvermines, some fifteen hundred years ago,
q quantity Of a species Of gtaucium, or horn
poppy, has made lis appearance; and, what
is remarkable, it proves to be new and un-
described species to which the name Glov-
cium serpieri has been given. Prof Niveu,
of the Hull Botanic Garden, England, in
further confederation Of the some fact, men
ton several instances of extraordinary
vitality Of seeds, from his own observation,
and remarks that, doubtless the absence
Of air, an equable aud unvarying condition
rs regards moisture and temperature, and
above oil the complete naturalization Of the
physical influence Of the sunlight, consti-
iute the means by which Nature exercises q
preservative power in seeds as astounding
rs II is interesting"
To the above might be added the fact so
we'll known 10 the farmers of Mon mouth
County, New Jersey. that the green-sand
mari sown upon lands almost sterile ..brings
in white clover" (7ri,otium repens) where it
was mt known before.

CRIME.


WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 2S.-Tke City Of
Alexandria, Va, within sight Of the National
Capitol, is probably the most violent Rebel city
in the United States. It has preserved one ut
least Of the bruta1ities Of slavcry the whipping
post. A colored woman has just received
thirty lashes at the whippfng-post there On
charge Of petty larceny, 4 local paper has this
mention OF the occurrence:
This is regular practice Of the Alexandria au-
tthortiee. and that community Is troubled with
less number OF thieves OF the petty class than any
city in the country. The whipping post there IS
nothing more than the prison doors Of the cells, to
which the culprits are tied, making them form
what the officers jocular1y call spread eagles, and
sentences, when they are turned ont with or,la:a
to return on q fixed day for The balaEce, Not one
has ever been known to reearn to the city.

THE OUTLOOK.

Special Dtsp1fch TO 1hf 1sibuRe.
NEW YoKK, Oct 2S.-The Republicans seem
likely to derive aid from an unexpected quarter
IN the pending campaign. The struggle OF Tam
many versus anttT TammanY for the City Govern
meut promises to be paramount. The defeat OF
either local faction BY the other IS political de-
struction. So each seems disposed to sacrifice
national to municipal success. John Kelly
doubtless is true to his pledge, but panic
seems impending in which no leadership can
control the fugitives. Unless some truce is ar
ranged this conflict promises to reduce the DEM
ocratic minority for Tilden in the city quite
onc-half.
From Florida news comes indicating decided
possibility that the Republicans will carry the
Electoral ticket, though tho Democrats carry the
State ticket.
News from Indiana during the week causes
e1hilaration at the Republican headquarters
1t is claimed that public sentiment there Is SET
ting steadily in favor OF Hayes and Wheeler'
and if q full vote comes out in November, the
prediction is strong that the Republicans WILL
carry the State.
= THE POOLS.
In the pool-rooms here the betting is con-
stantly In favor Of Hayes on the general
result The odds have been steady
at 100 for Hayes to 70 Tor
Iilden, with rare exceptions, which stu
gave odds in favor Of Hayes: The impression
gains strength daily in the pooi~rooms that
Hayes will be elected even without New YORK

carrying New York's Electoral vote.

MS ATTEMPT 70 DEFRAUD GERMAN MIN1sG
COLONY IN CALIFORNIA.
sreciaf Dispatch to TIE Tribune.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2S.-Owing to reports
of fraudulent suit, conducted by wealthy
Company against number OF the poor German
miners in Butte County, California, Chronicle
reporter was dispatched to investigate the mat
ter On the spot, who succeeded in obtaining the
following facts: Morris Ravine, north Of MarYs-
vile, Butte County, was once one Of the richest
mining localities in the State having yielded
over a 600 900 from tho bed OF the creek alone.
The rich pockets have long since been worked
out, but there is rich ground on both sides of
the creek which will pay with an outlay OF
some money for water. These claims were held
by lot Of poor German miners, who labored
patiently and looked for success in the future,
until, in 1878, they were notified that claim had
been fled which
COVERED ALL THEY POSSESSED.
It was filed BY what WAS called the Hendricks
Company. with ". e. Hendricks, the nephew OF
Gov. Hendricks, as President. The miners sue
ceeded in securing counsel. and the suit was
tried before the United States Commissioner,
the Marysyil1e Land Office having ruled
against it Us a. fraud. The suit
was defended for the Company ny
Thomas 4. Hendricks, ex-Land Commissioner
and then Acting Governor Of Indiana. The ap-
plication for title sets forth,
NFLAuRAST VIOLATION OF THE TRUTH,
that the claim has been in the possession OF the
Company for fifteen years, and that no adverse
claim has ever been filed. This statement is
sworn to by n. c. Hendricks. who came out
here, bought few claims and locatcd some
Others By dummies, and now wants a title on q
United States patent for 1,220 acres on both
sides Of the ravine covering the
claims, with the owners OF which
he had previously entered inte partnership

seeing there millions In it,'' be went back
to r-1ana and organized the Hendricks Com
pany, with himself as President. About ono
hail OF the !, 40 acres Is contested by poor
miners, whose claims Hendricks has jumped.
As there was some apprehension OF the case
going against the Company before the United
states Commissioners, the case has been sent
back to the District Court at Orryille, in this
State, where everything is being done to
turn matters In favor Of the rich and
powerful corporation. The application

10 the Editor At The Tribune.
CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-A paid dollar line letter
in the interest Of John R. Hoxie appeared in
the papers few days since, signed ''Den1o~
crat,' which will bear analysis. It is biograph~
ical, eulogistic, and fcarful1y false, notwith-
standing it cost dollar Il line In some OF the
papers. A choice extract therefrom, and the
actual facts in relation to Mr.. Hoxic may not be
uniutcresting to those about to make choice
for member OF Congress:
Once he was unanimously chosen Trustee in the
Town Of Lake and once in Hrde Park, where no in
ench place, i'll less than week from his election,

payers Of those towns, and placed the towns upon
4 solid, Tourishng basis again: So it will be seen
that as q Ring -srasher Mr.. Hoxic etarts of with

that lie WIS first brought ont for the higher place
to which he is now nominated
What are the facts3 He was elected Trustee
of the Village OF Hyde Park, and was on both
tickets. There WAS at the time corrupt Ring
In HYDE Park, and Hoxie got on to the ticket
opposed to the Ring by promising to break it

became the very centre OF the Ring which cost
the village thousands OF dollars, and sadd1ed
upon it monstzous debt
What are the factss
