Meeting OF Plant Club.

The work of the club last evening COM
prised a review of the class upon the first
part of the textbook, a paper on "Thc
Flower" and the analysis of !, familiar
compound flower, the dandelion. For the
review, the following questions were writ
ten upon the blackboard I, "What are
the different kinds of venatiOn in leaves"
2, "What are the different kinds of
leaves ?' 3, "What are the different kinds
of arrangement of leaves ?" 4, "What is
the one great arrangement ?" 5, "What is
the kinds of inforescence?'
After the points presented in these ques-
tions had been disposed of clearly and to
the satisfaction Of the class, Miss Marie
Kemp, Of St. James school, read very in
tercsting paper on that most beautiful of
objects in nature, "The Flower" This
was good enough to wish it twice as long,
She holds, with the poet, that beauty
is its own excuse for being ;" that the
beauty of the flower, in it's infinite variety,
is not provided merely that it may attract
the insect whose agency is essential to it's
fertilization, but mainly that it may con-
tribute to mans enjoyment and to the
higher development of the race.
The analysis of the dandeion was placed
upon tho board and verified by the class
through the analytical tables until the
plant was satisfactorily determined-Idr-
azacum dens-leonis, dandelion, or "lion's
tooth" This is the first composite flower
that has been brought before the class and
it's structure was q revelation to many Of
the members present.
During the evening the club had an
opportunity to see a monster bean-pod
nearly three feet long and three inches
broad, brought by Miss Lefevre from the
jungles Of Burmah, in India, where this
lady labored for six years as missionary.
She wrote the name for us in Burmese
characters, but the font of type in news
paper Office is not adequate to the occa-
sion, and the nearest we get to the name
Of the monster bean is gonyin. The vine
upon which it grew she describes as Of the
thickness of the average mans body.

Brazilian Tobacco.

Mr.. James Stewart is the owner of a
package of manufactured Brazilian tobacco
recently brought from that country by a
gentleman who was with the Collins party
in the construction of the Madeira and
Mamore railway. In appearance the to-
bacco is not unlike our ordinary "Navy"
variety but is very much stronger. The
popularity of it is the manner in which it
is put up, it being tightly wrapped in
bamboo and in size, shape and general ap-
pearance not unlike a steers horn. 1t is
used by the natives exclusively for smok-
ing,

From Our Drumore Correspondent.

From Our DrumOre Correspondent.
We are hum-drum down here, now-a-
days. In fact everything seems in direct
opposition to the interests of us miserable
rural scribes, for nothing "worthy of
note will happen. Some few Republican
candidates, with their Joseph's coat cards
are stirring around in pretty good-looking
teams, and shaking the hands off of our
"honest horny y-handed sons of toll"
talking to them about our good
prospect for wheat (Which by
the way, is tlattering), holding
lengthy debates with the farmers in regard
to whether Chester whites or Berkshire
hogs are most profitable that it is highly
judicious and imperatively important that
the breed of chickens should be frequently
changed; whether South Carolina rock,
ground bono, or poudrette, is the best
manure; and about all the other little
subjects upon which Office seekers are so
we'll posted, always coinciding with the
farmers exactly, and 60 on their way re-
joicing in the promise of another vote,
which promise has been used so frequently
recently, that one would wonder it still
retained sufficient sweetness to make the
smart candidate smile his thanks SO
blandly.
We are all-e1ccpt few conscientious
individuals going to raise tobacco this
year, and fully intend to show you upper

to one of the colored fraternity, "You

Fishmongers' ARRAY +.

This morning Emanuel Heiselman ap-
peared before Alderman McConomy with
one of his eyes badly bunged up and an
ugly circular cut on his check, and made
complaint of assault and battery against
Frank Mettfett. Both men are fish deal
ers, and it appears they got into dispute
as to their rights. respectively, to GER
tain position at the fish market. High
words ended in an assault al
leging that Mettfett struck him as he was
turning away from him. A warrant was
issued for Mettfett's arrest.

From his Letter to the Nashville Centennial
Committee.
To no one of the many great and pure
men whose fame fills the pages of Ameri-
can history could commemorative honors
be more suitably awarded than to the
memory of Andrew Jackson. As warrior
his fame suffers nothing by comparison
with the greatest of modern and ancient
chieftains. AS statesman he has taken
his rank with the ablest and purest of any
age and country. He was true to every
trust reposed in him and possessed the rare
gifts which made him equally fitted to
command in the field and to preside in the
council. An American in every thought
and inspiration, he was welded to Ameri-
can ideas

A Locomotive Disabled.

This morning as the Harrisburg ex-

Elizabethtown and Mount Joy, the loco

it so much that it reached Mount Joy con-

Illegal, Self Wiiled and Despotic.

Judge Patterson of Lancaster, finds
himself famous, or rather infamous, over
the whole country, by his illegal, self
willed and despotic act in disbarring the
editors of the Lancaster INTELLIGENcER,
who are also practicing attorneys in his
court. His action places the stamp of
truth upon the article of which he COM
plains as being ibelous. He takes the
law into his own hands, the very offence
for which he has sentenced many a poor
fellow, not as ignorant as himself, to fine
and Imprisonment

Mr. HENRY G. VENNoR writes to the
Albany Argus, under date Of April 10, as
follows: "In response to something like

frost relapses up to midsummer. The
summer will not be favorable to crops.

from reputation of this dastardly out
rage. 1t is perhaps unnecessary to add
that there have been no arrests. Call out

men Klotz, Bachman and Coffroth. There
was an immediate announcement on the
part of all of them that the convention
would be harmonious; that everybody
would be admitted and everybody would
be happy. Mr. Randall then retired with
Malcolm Hay and few other friends, and
were in private conference until a late
hour. The Wallace people have been very
active all the evening and several confer
ences have been held, at which all the
phases of the situation were discussed and
all the possible action of the other side
taken into consideration, but without
reaching any conclusion.
Mr.. Cassidy's Plan.
Mr.. Cassidy said in conversation with
Colonel Barr tonight, that if he can get
the eye of the chairman of the convention
on Wednesday he would move that twenty.
three of each delegation from Philadelphia
be admitted to seats, the intention being
to neutralize the delegation also. that a
committee of five or seven be appointed
from Democrats of the interior to 60 to
Philadelphia and reorganize the party
and put it upon working footing. This
seems to meet with the approval of those
who are with Speaker Randall, and Mr.
Hay, of Pittsburgh, spoke of the plan with
decided enthusiasm as certain to restore
harmony to the party.

The Point in the Case.

New Era, April 26.
Our criticism on the Raymond Dennis
case on Saturday did not reflect, nor was
it intended to reflect, upon anything the
presiding judge did or left undone in the
proceedings before him on Friday or Sat-
urday. 1t was no fault of his that the case
was not tried when attached on Saturday
morning. In fact, he went so far as to in
sist upon it's being tried if it could be dis
posed of in one day, that being the last
day of the term.
