A reporter the other day saw
four men on a street corner con-
versing earnestly, and he stopped.
One of the party was relating a
frightful runaway accident, and the
reporter got out his note book and
took it all down. The horse took
fright from a locomotive, ran away,
threw out n woman and two child
ren, killing all three and dragged
the driver two miles, breaking
every bone in his body, and crush
ing his skull to bits. The report
er got the names, and cheerfully
asked: "When did this occurl"
"W-e-l-l," drawled the narrator,
81 think twas in the spring of '54."

The Great American Velvet Plant.
What more stately plants for the
"wild garden" can be found than
our common mulleins, is the highly
commendatory question asked in
one of the leading English garden
ing journals. 1.-THE great Amer
lean velvet plant" is held in high
esteem by lovers of the beautiful
across the water, while with us it
is ranked only as weed. They
call it noble, with its "sturdy spike
of yellow flowers above wealth
of bold foliage, all enrapt in a
thick coating of grey, felted hairs"
We call it coarse, stiff, ungainly
intruder, unworthy the room which
it too often occupies. This is
another illustration of the fact that
the commonness of plant, and the
ease with which it may be grown
affects the esteem in which it is
held. Our common poke root is
highly valued in Europe, and it is
really most stately and beautiful
plant, which would be valuable
here were it costly.-American
Agriculturist.
