10 NE EdttOf OF Inc StGT:
By mistake some of the newspaper reporters
have announced. in effect. that the gentlemen of
The Produce Exchange Company. who bought
the above property through Haett Kilbourn
are not ready to perform their contract. and
that the Commissioners intend to disregard
their bid and sell the property to the next high
est bidders Those gentlemen are ready and
the Commissioners intend to do no such thing
The hitch lies in this, that. by the blunder of
somebody. Congress gave no power to the Com
missioners to make deedOf the property. They
were directed TO ''sell at public auction to the
highest bidder. but they were left without au-
thority to convey by warranty deed or other
wise Every real estate agent knows that his
right to make contract of sale does not include
the right to make deed for the property.
No deed has been rendered to the purchasers.
and none can be until Congress has empowered
somebody to make one. Just as soon as that
mas been done the purchasers will be glad to re-
ceiye their deed and comply with the terms of
sale. ONE WHO KNOWS

are wei represented among the specimens sent
to the museum. 1t is believed that when these
specimens are placed together they will form the
most complete and beautiful exhibitions of cave
formations that have yet been placed in any
museum.
BEAUTIFUL MARBLES.
The marbles which are most admired for mr.
poses OF decoration and characterization. are
formed by the continuation of this process Of
stalactite and stalagmite formation until large
solid masses are formed. OF this nature are the
celebrated Mexicanc onyx, the Egyptian ala
baster the Suison marbles, the Gibraltar lime
stone and other celebrated stones The block
OF stone taken from a mass at the base of one of
the pillars in the Luray Cave has been finished
up IN the National Museum and polished. and
oy many 1t is as much admired as any stone that
exists in the large collection which is there
gathered. This specimen demonstrates that
tne further exploration of the cave. with this in
view, might developqvery beautiful marbles
although it is to be hoped that such exploration
Will not be pursued 0tO the detriment of the
beauty OF the formations
The museum is indebted to the manaoore of
the shenandoah Valley railroad for the extrac-
ton OF these specimens, and to this same com
pany and the president of the Baltimore 4 Ohio
railroad for Transporting them in special car
without transshipment to Washington

Water regularly also, and provide
good, clean water. There is no animal
so particular about the quality of the
water it drinks as the horse. and while
it may be forced to drink impure water,
it is an outrage upon the animals sensi-
tiveness. Nineteen times out of twenty
such compulsion is the result of sheer
carelessness or downright Incidence of
those whose business it is to furnish the
horse water, and so becomes about as
reprehensible as human act can be. {.
In addition to all this, have the har-

a horse is driven to fretfulness through
an ill-ftting harness, which, perhaps, a
few minutes work would make all right.
Some harnesses would fret stone post.

A Practical Temperance Lecture.

One of the most practical and com
nonsense temperance lectures that we
have seen is contained in a circulars
issued by DR.. +. j. Bancroft, surgeon Of
the Denver and Rio Grande Road. IL
is worth considering by everybody. Inc
circular says: "The continued or the
excessive periodical use of malt or aco-
holic liquors should be abstained from
by every one engaged in operating the
road, not only on account of the great
risks to life and property incurred by
intrusting them to the oversight of those
whose intellects may be dulled at times
when most care is needed, but also, ana
essentially, because habitual drinking
has very bad effect upon the constltu-
ton, which is serious matter to men SO
liable to injury as railroad employees
always are. 1t so lessons the recupera-
tive powers of the body that simple
wounds are followed by the most serious
and dangerous complications. Fractures
unite slowly, if at all, and wounds OF
grave nature, such as those requiring
the loss of limb, are almost sure to end
fatally. No employee can afford to take
such risks, and the railroad company
oan not assume such responsibilities.

Queer Proceedings OF Nevada Tree.

A gentleman of this place has a tree
which is species of acacia. 1t was
grown from seed brought from Aus
tralia. The tree is now sapling eight
feet in height, and it is in full foliage
and growing rapidly. 1t is leguminous,
and very clearly shows the characters
tics of the mimosa, or sensitive plant.
Regularly every evening, about the time
the "chickens 90 to roost," the tree goes
to roost. The leaves fold together, and
the ends of the tender twigs coil them
selves up like the tail of a well-condi-
toned pig. After one of the twigs has
been stroked or handled, the leaves
move uneasily and are in a sort of mild
commotion for minute or more. All
this was known about the tree, but 1t
was only yesterday that it was discov'
cred that the tree had in it much more
of life and feeling than it had ever be-
fore been credited with. The tree be-
ing in quite small pot, one which 1t
was fast outgrowing, it was thought best
to give it one of much larger size. Yes
terday afternoon the tree was transfer
red to its new quarters. 1t resented the
operation of its removal to the best Of
its ability.
Arriving at his residence about tho
time the tree had been transplanted, the
gentleman found the house in grand
commotion. On asking what was up, he
was told that they had transplanted the
tree according to orders and the opera
ton had "made it very mad" Hardly
had it been placed in its new quarters
before the leaves began to stand up in
all directions like the hair on the tail of
an angry cat, and soon the whole plant
was in culver. This could have been
endured, but at the same time it gave
out an odor most pungent and sickening
Just such smell as is given off by
rattlesnakes and many other kinds Of
snakes in summer when leased This
odor so filed the house and was SO
sickening that it was found necessary to
open the doors and windows. 1t was
fully an hour before the plant Gained
down and folded its leaves in peace. 1t
would probably not have given up the
fight even then had it not been that its
time for going to roost had arrived. It
is probably needless to add that the
whole household now stand in not lit
tie awe of the plant as being thing more
animal Cor reptile) than vegetable
