A tree was rece'tly brought
from Australia to Nevada which

ends Of the endef twigs coil them
selves up IKE the tail Of a well con-
ditioned pig. After one of the

the le,ves move uneasily and are
in a )ort ofwild commotion for a

its new quarters before the leaves
began to stand up like the hair on
the tail ofan angry cat, and soon
the whole plant vas in a CULVER.

which filled the house and was so
sickening that il was found neces-
sary to open the doors and VIM

A MERMAID.
The Remains.'of one Of these Strans,
Creatures Of The Sea on, The. steam.
ship Neiley Abbey.

"Mermaid: a sea woman fab
ulous animal represented as hav-
ing the head Of a woman with the
tail of a fish," So says the lcxi-
cographer, and such has been con-
sidered by all who live in this en-
lightened age, Notwithstanding
the fact that frequent mention has
been made Of these semi-mortal
and semi-linny beings by the most
ancient writers, sung by poets and
painted in glowing colors, for the
amusement OF the little folks in
fairy tales.
A real mermaid In this advanc-
ed stage Of civilization ordinarily
would find il difficult to keep from
the sight Of human beings, and up
to some two months ago succeed
ed in evading capture, when a ma
tiYe fisherman, a resident OF AS
pinwall, captured one Of these be-
ings and successfully pressed it..
This wonderful curiosity arrived
in this city on the steamship Net
ley Abbey, now lying at the head
OF Josephine street, and through
the courtesy of Captain Horne,
the owner, a Times reporter was
yesterday allowed to examine It.

In 1860, after the election of Mr..
Lincoln, Chief Justice fancy was
very ill-so ill. indeed. that his life
WAS scarcely hoped for. There was
at that time some noble old Republi.
cans IN Congress-Seward, Chase,
Ben Wade. FesSenden, Sumner, Thad.
Stevens, and | don't remember how
many more. The Republican admin
istratiOn would come in March,
1861. If fancy should have died be.
fore That time Buchanan would have
appointed young Democrat, who
would probably last for forty years.
If fancy should not die until after
March then Lincoln would have the
appointment, and he would have
selected a Republican. So these old
Republicans, for the first time in
their lives, were sOlicitOus about the
health of the old Chief Justice. They
asked daily about him, and had all
the religious people pray that his life
might be spared. Even Wade, lack
Chandler, and Thad. Stevens prayed.
Probably they did it; at any rate
fancy got well and was alive on the
18th of March. He also was alive on
the succeeding 4th of March, and
still alive March 4, 1858. Then the
old stalwarts began to get alarmed
lest fancy, who was Within Il year or
two of 80 years old, would out live
Mr.. Lincoln's term. Ben Wade said
that ut Il meeting of some OF the old
Republicans named above late in
1868 the subject of praying for fancy
came up, when Chandler slapping
Wade's back, said: "Well, boys, I'm
damned if i don't think we over did
it," Chief Justice fancy lived until
October, 1864, and died just in time
to enable Mr.. Lincoln to put Judge
Chase in his place and thus got him

the Washington Cores.

Winter the Time to Think.

Winter is the time for the farmers to

and the three later seasons labor will
be to little profit if the time of the
first shall have been neglected. All
the plans of the next seasons opera.
tons should be laid and well cOnsid.
cred during the winter. All improve.
ments, all designs for new operations,
all work to be done, should then be
considered and prepared for, so that
when the time arrives there will be
nothing to do but TO go ahead. When
this period arrives there is not much
time to think, but if the thinking has
all been done during the winter there
will be no need of it. The pro.
graihme has only to be put in force.
