that this is the Boards first experience

during the present season as highly

Gen. Lee.

Of Gen. Lees taste for rigid simplicity
a correspondent of the Herald, of Boston,
says: "One of his Inspector Generals
Col. Murray, was quite advanced in life,
and some friend, wishing to contribute
to his comfort, had presented him with
a cushioned camp-chair. Tents had
been struck, and the baggage all packed
in the wagons preparatory to starting on
the days march,-all except the cushion
ed chair, in which the Colonel sat,
waiting to join the General as he passed.
A few moments later Gen. Lee rode up,
regarded the Colonel for a moment and
then quietly remarked: Col. Murray,
l would advise you, the next time we,
start on a campaign, to bring your
centre-table with you It is needless to,
say that that chair was never again seen
at the army headquarters.

A Javanese Prince.

At last accounts a Javanese Prince,
the King of Solo, was expected in Paris.
He is spoken of as wealthy and accom-
plished, having an annual income of
100000, and speaking several lam
guages. King Solo is accompanied by a
full band, which is described by Gahg-
mani: "The musicians are seated, after
the oriental fashion, upon platform,
attired in the gala Javanese costume.
The jacket is of blue cloth, with gilt
buttons; the waistcoat white, while a
dark colored handkerchief winds round
the head, and the legs and thighs are
enveloped in the national sarong.' The
instruments are of bamboo, with the
exception of an immense copper gong,
which serves as big drum, couple of
two-stringed ivory violins, and harp
strung with copper wire, sort of piano

recommendations are carefully tabulat-
ed. The people are, to be induced to
turn out en- masse and face the enemy;
rewards are to be offered for dead rats,
and, in fact, the invasion is to be treated
as matter to be dealt with vigorously
by the whole community. No great
way will, however, be made until the
same measures are adopted which are.
taken with rabbits in Australia when
they become an uncomfortable nuisance.

full plan is to block up all the holes which
can be found. The difficulty in Aus
tralia is to obtain sufficient labor for
this purpose. That difficulty is not
likely to exist in Bombay, and a cores
pendent of q Bombay newspaper has
already suggested that this plan should
be adopted. In the mean time the
question has arisen as to how the rats
have so increased and multiplied. This
point can, however, be discussed with
more calmness when they have in some
way been reduced to their former sub
ordination.-PoU Mail Gazette.

Col. N. S. Miles arrived at Fort Keogh on
the 2Sth ult., with his command, consisting
of seven companies of the Fifth infantry,
bringing with him nearly 1000 half breeds,
who have been furnishing arms and ammu-
milton to the Indians between the Yellow
stone and the boundary line. He had
cleared the country of all rowing bands, and
driven Sitting Bulls followers across the
American line, besides breaking up the
illicit traffic in arms anu ammunition be.

Assyrian Discoveries

The mound at Nineveh, known as the
Tomb OF Jonas, was recently explored
by Mr.. Harmuzd Hassam, who is now in
London. He was able to recover q num-
Der of inscribed fragments bearing
Inscriptions OF the reign of Esarbaddon
and Sennacherib, as well as some stata-
cites in terra-cotta, which exhibit q
higher art then any before recovered.
Explorations in the palaces of those
monarchs have brought to light many
hundreds of inscribed tablets, and on the
mounds of Nimroud a number of frag-
ments of tiles and several inscriptions
have been recovered from the sight of the
temple. In mound called Jubiuba
Mr.. Hassam discovered the remains of q
large hall of very rich construction.
Painted bricks, Indian woods, and
enameled tiles indicated the former
richness of the edifce. Mr.. Hassam's
excavations III the Birs Nimroud have
brought to light the remains of buildings
and number of inscriptions. An inter-
esting discovery in connection with this
ruin is said to have resulted from the
examination of the site, namely, that its
destruction was due, not to ire or the
vengeance Of an enemy, but to volcanic
eruption which has split the whole edi-
flee in twain, and vitrifed all the brick
work with which the lava and fame
came in contact.

An Interesting Plant.

The Victoria Regia, or the Queen
Lily, is now developing at the Park
Conservatory. This plant is remarkable
for the great size which it attains. No
other specimen of this plant is known to
exist in the United States, and this is
the first attempt to propagate this spe-
cies of water-lily in California. A
number of it's great leaves have reached
their full size, the largest being about
seven feet in diameter. Although nice
adjustment of the temperature of the
water and air is necessary to bring the
lily to perfection, yet, even under the
most favorable condition which could be
produced artifcially, the blossom often
fails to make its appearance. On this
account the stages of growth which pre-
ceda and accompany towering have been
watched with keen interest by amateur
botanists for the slightest indication OF
poisoning. In the midst of these hopes
and fears colossal bud, about the size
of small head of cabbage, made it's ap-
pearance under the water day or two
ago, and is growing rapidly. The exact
time Of its attaining maturity is not
known, but it will probably be in full
bloom in three or four days. The flower
opens only at night, and begins to unfold
its petals about 8 o'clock in the evening,
to remain in bloom until sunrise. Two
leaves of the Queen Lily will be placed
on exhibition at the Mechanics fair,
and will require for their transportation
a frame eight feet wide and sixteen feet
long.-San Francisco Chronicle.
