SLIGHTLY TOO TALL.-In the New York

A Virginia paper asserts that there Is
now In existeIce on a farm, near Enfield
y. c., the stalk of what was once an enor
nous growth of the cabbage species, which,
when in full yigor, stood twenty one feet
high. with a circumference Of stem OF six
teen inches, which sported no less than sew
en- distinct and full grown cabbage heads.
The pith of the stalk has been hardened.
until the close observer would fail to dis
tinguish it from pine or tr wood. A trav-
eler on one of the railways asserts that be
passed a station where there was a female
school, and saw the young lady pupils play
ing croquet under the shade Of the col.
lards.'
We fear the Virginia paper, > and the
railway traveller" have drawn upon their
dreams after a supper on sauer krrnt. One
may find cabbage heads almost anywhere
that stand six feet tall, and wear a mans
hat. Likewise one may see several female
colleges sporting on the Green's around
Raleigh. But this story about the girls
croquetting under the collard leaves won
pass, anywhere short of Buncombe where
the cabbage tops stand higher than the
church steeples IN Raleigh.
