Automatic Movement of the FrOnd
of Asplenium TrichOmaneS.

Mr.. E. J. Loomis, of the Nautical Almanac
office, Washington, recently showed me phe-
nomenon which suppose has never before been
noticed and which is commended TO the atten-
tion Of botansts. tuft of Asp,e1ti,tno T'icl,O-
names, gathered last autumn in the mountains
of Virginia, is growing in his house. in glass
dish. About two months ago he noticed that
one Of the fronds-a rather short and erect one,
which is now showing fructiacation-made
quick movements alternately back and forth, at
right angles to the plane of the frond, through
from 90 TO 40 degrees, whenever the vessel was
brought from its shaded situation into sunlight
or bright daylight. The movement was more
extensive and rapid when the hond was
younger. When saw it On the 23d OF January
its compass was within Is degrees and was
about as rapid as that OF leaflets of Desmodiupt
GlndnS. 1t was more rapid than the second
hand of a watch. but with occasional stops In
the course OF each half vibration. This was in
full daylight next window, but not in SUM-
shine. No movement had been observed in the
other fronds, which were all sterile and reclin-
ing, with the exception OF single one which
was just unfolding, In which Mr.. Loomis thinks
he has detected incipient motion Of the same
kind. 1t is very easy to obtain this little fern
and to set it growing. We may expect further
observations TO be made upon 1t without delay

Their New Departure.

KEARNEY'S NEW DEPARTURE.
His Sunday Speech at the Sand Lots.
SAN Francisco, March 14-There was large
attendance at the sand lots this afternoon, in
thither by curiosity. Kearney took an entirely
new departure. He invited the leaders OF the
Citizens Protective Union to meet the leaders OF
workingmen on the sand lots for an exchange
of views, promising them respectful hearing.
He also informed his followers that the
objects of the Citizens Union has been miSap-
preheneed that they intended TO use the asso-
citation for the amelioration of the condition of
the city, for the good of the laboring classes and
the restoration OF prosperity; that some unscrtl-
pulous men had taken advantage of the move
ment to create the impression that violent mea-
sureS against the workingmen were intended
whereas nothing of the kind was meant. His
audience received his novel speech undemonStra-
lively.
kaEIOch Converted.
AT the Metropolitan Temple, this evening,
Kalloch adopted Kearney's cue and spoke TO
a similar effect. 1t is evident that the Citizens
Union is making its influence felt.
Making il Warm for Nearney.
A special dispatch says: Chief of Police Crow
ley openly stated yesterday that he was re-
sponsible for Kearney's arrest, and would con-
tinue to arrest him for riotous or incendary
language whenever he used it. There is a de-
termination to follow up this blatant dema-
gogue whenever he speaks, and thus test him
and his bondsmen till they are tired OF disturb
ing the peace, so long as the court can deal
with him, and when the latter falls, something
else will step to the front and make short work
OF him.
Workingmen Declare Against Kear-
ney.
In the afternoon at a meeting of the execu-
tive committee, composed OF presidents OF all
the workingmenS clubs In the city, a series OF
resolutions were offered declaiming in unmis
taxable language against kearney, though, with
the caretulnesS OF prudent beginning, his
name is not mentioned The mover of the res
olutions was George W. Bostwick, president of
1na1 ord nj aI Il no
ney himself. Bostwick is from Connecticut. In
his speech accompanying the resolutions he
said he was proud OF being an American, and
saw no need of German socialism, French com
munism, or Russian nihilism, to adjust the
grievances complained of by the workingmen.
The gist OF the resolutions is that workingmen
have no affliation with sand lots agitators, and
have no sympathy With any expressions, declar-
ationS or harangueS tending to bring this organ
ization into dispute with its own members and
our felow-citizens generally. The reading OF
the resolutions was heartily endorsed by the
aSsemblage. but their full consideration was de.
ferred to another meeting.

The Presidential Campaign.

A CIRCULAR FROM THE SHERMAN HEADQUARTERS
IN THIS CITY.
a circular is being issued from the Sherman
headquarters in the Corcoran building. 1t
states that C. W. Moulton and MI. Vale, editor,
OF the Washington World, have been added as
members OF the executive committee OF the
Sherman National committee. The object of
opening Sherman headquarters in Washington
is to centraliZe the various Sherman organiZa-
tions that are sprtnging up in various localities
in all the states. The circular states that
campaign In behalf OF Sherman VIII be con-
Quoted In an aggressive manner as soon as pos
sible. No unfair agencies will, however be
employed or scandalous attacks made on rival
candidates within the party lines. Five reasons
are given why Secretary Sherman Is the strong
est and most available1 candidate the repub-
lican party can nominate. One that neither
the stalwart nor reform elements in the party
can object to, his republcanism; another, that
he would get the solid German republican
vote which would split on Grant; another, that
his nomination would not put the party
on the defensive; the other two are based on
his financial policy and determination to Sc
cure the peace and preserve the rights Of every
city. The circular also says: ''The national
committee at large is composed OF leading men

Publication Notes.

A promising attempt to fill a recognized want
n periodical literature for young folks has been
made in the publication OF the new paper called
Golden Days, by James Elverson of Philadelphia.
1t is a handsome weekly illustrated paper for
Toys and girls, backed by an energetic and
capable publisher with ample capital. Few peo-
pie understand what an undertaking 1t Is to
publish paper. On the tirst number alone
of Golden Days Mr. Elverson has expended no
less than $4,000 in actual cash outlay, and he
expects to spend as much more on subsequent
numbers before the returns begin TO come in. 1t
is only in this way that new publication can
be brought to public notice. but, If IL deserves
success, the profits are in proportion to the eX-
penditure. And Golden Days promises to de-
serve success. ..Recogntzing," says the brief
salutatory, 1.-The fact that our young friends de-

on m the city Of Sidney is stii burning m ny with ih nc
immediate prospect of being eXtinguished. As
far as can be ascertalned, it Is located just for
ward of amidships, either in the lower hold
or on the lower deck. There is lumber and a
lot of Honolulu freight stored in that part OF
the ship. Water is being poured In rapidly, and
1t is probable that the steamer will have to be
been determined upon for replacing her on the
line, and there is likely to be delay of several
days, and perhaps week, in the sailing of the
next steamer. The Granada is lying at her
the morning. 1t is quite probable she will be
