A Milk Wagon.

An amusing incident, in which one of
the oldest and most staid citizens of
the town figured, entertained the people
of Williamsport, Pa, the other day. The
citizen in question had driven down
town and fastened his horse in the street,
when milkman, who had business in
the neighborhood, also drove up, and,
after looking about yainly for a hitching-
post, fastened his horse to the aged citi-
zen's carriage axle. When the citizen
returned, got into his wagon, and drove
off, the milkman's horse and carriage
followed, the strange procession excit-
ing much comment. The citizen, I'M
conscious of the cause of the attention
he was exciting, would doubtless have
taken his tow quite home with him, had
not an awkwardly- driven hack soon col
lided with the milk cart and taking off
one of its wheels. Startled by the shock,
the citizen got out, fastened the rear
horse to post, and drove home rapidly.

IN 1877 some 900 robes were gathered at
Fort Macleod, and large number at Fort
Walsh. In 1873 the number was II, 797 at the
former and 1897 at the latter place; while
last year only 764 came in at Fort Macleod
and S,271 to Fort Walsh. This will, in great
measure, explain Indian poverty and suffer-

BING and Schulz have advanced an
hypothesis of rather questionable ma
ture as to the chemical cause of the
poisonous character of arsenic. They
think that the poisonous action of ar
senic depends on its easy conversion
and reconversion within the organism
from the higher to the lower stage of
oxidation, whereby the tissues are de-
stroyed owing to the violent vibration
OF the atoms of oxygen, and that the
other members of the nitrogen group
are poisonous for the same reason.

AN exchange says: 1t is impossible to
convey to the reader an idea of the vast
valuable forests of fir, pine, and cedar,
both in Oregon and Washing
ton. Trees two hundred and two
hundred and fifty feet high and six feet
in diameter are never out of view; eight
and ten feet in diameter and three hun
dred feet high are not uncommon, gen.
orally two-thirds free of limbs. Fifty
and sixty good timber trees grow on an
acre, as rule, and yield seldom less
than three hundred thousand feet, and
instances are On record of one million
feet from an acre. No acre is worked
for profit which can not yield three hun
dred thousand feet at least, and even
this yield is rare.

The " Baby-Plant."
When the poet wrote ,

he did not mean that his little adjec-
tive should help make O compound
noun Probably he was not aware that
the vegetable kingdom contained any
thing that looked like real baby. Ac-
cording to the Portland (Oregon) Stan
dUd, however, such phenomenon has
been found. The paper says: ,...
No curiosity exhibited in this city
for years has attracted such general at
tention as that wonderful plant at Shan
nahan's art gallery. Fully three thou
sand people have visited the place to
look upon the botanical wonder. -.
1t is said to be indigenous to Japan.
Its technical term has not been ascer-
tanned, but it is known, snd appropri-
ately so, as the "Baby Plant"
1t is of the genus lily, sometimes at.

which we write is, however, not more
than twelve inches in height, with leaves
about six inches long and two inches

The flower is star-shaped. having

of the fixed stars. from the earth. He
says: .,sS
"Viewed with the unaided eye, tho
stars and the planets appear to have the

powerful telescope, while the planets
are seen to possess clearly appreciable
diameters, the stars are still only lumin-
GUS points. The entire number of Wis

might indeed, if placed in one plane,
side by side, yet without totehing one
another, be entirely covered by the disk
of Jupiter, albeit that disk appears to
the naked eye an inappreciable point.

 CoRK Ireland, April 12.
 am exceedingly well pleased with the re- suit of the election. Our party has gained nine seats from the Whigs and Tories. Quite a marked improvement has been effected in its personnel The timid and ovsr-cautious have been replaced by determined and zealous workers. We have carried Leinster, Munster and CoDnaught, except one county. It is in- correct to suppose that the Liberals are rsn- dered independent of the Irish members Their majority disappears should we join the Conservatives. Moreover, our party will scarcely cross to the ministerial side of the House of Commons, even though that side shall be occupied by Liberals instead of Conser- vatlves. Our presence in the opposition will be understood as constant reminder of the slender nature by which the ministers hold their power. We expect that good land bill will be introduced and passed immediately. We also anticipate the early passage of local Gov ernnent measures as well as the household franchise bill. This latter would enable us to carry every Irish seat in Parliament with very few insignificant exceptions. Should the Liberals refuse to accede to our just demands, they can De very promptly reduced to order by determined stand on the part of our members. The present Irish party is an i'm mense advance upon the previous representa- tiop, and sufficient men have been returned by the class that know what they want and are determined to have it to render practically impossible that the most powerful ministry can withstand them: AS showing the rsso- lution of the people to abolish landlordism, the election of James O'Kelly, who defeated the OConor faction in Roscommon after sitting there, is considered the most remark able demonstration of the elections.
