PRorAGATING FUCHsIAs.-The following
method of raising young plants of tuchsias is
said to be practised by the cottagers IN the
west of England. "ln the autumn, after the
frost has destroyed the foliage, the wood OF
the present season is cut OFT close to the
ground, and laid like a sheaf of corn in II
trench foot deep. The bundle is covered
with few inches of soil, and here it remains
until spring, when multitude of shoots may
be seen pushing their way through The soil
is then carefully moved, and with a sharp
knife cut is made each side OF a Joint, and
the result is rooted plants enough for the
parish. The old stool throws up more vgor.
ously than before to be served in the same
way the following autumn"

ended her days, had not the young man quick
ly caught tho knife and flung it far away into
the clear waters Of the lake. Then with al
hear,rending scream she flung herself upon
the dead body of her lover.
BY this time five more Of the young men
had swan across to the island, and at length
they separated Guandiana from the corpse OF
her late lover, and led her few steps aside
while some of them went to WORK with their
hands, and soon had scooped shallow grave
in the yielding sand, and were preparing to-
bury the late warriors, now united In death, IN
the same grave. But Guandiana seeing their
intention, motoned for them to carry the body
of Walhoops inland to rude bower near at
hand, which they readily did. Then they bur.
led the body OF Eben Hollingsworth on the
bank Of the peaceful lake.
One of the young men who could speak the
Indian language, approached the maiden and
asked her what she would do with the body
of Walhoopa. She replied that her women
would JOIN her at nightfall, and they would
mourn his death for the night and then they
would start for u large mound in the midst of
great swamp on the next day and bury him
there.
So they left her alone with her dead and re-
turned with their companions to the more OPP
en- country where they met party of Indian
warriors, and having slain the greater part OF
them, they pursued the rest to very great
swamp, and amid its intricacies the Indians
were soon lost from their view.
The next day Guandiana with her women,
iconveyed the dead body of Walhoopa to the
same swamp, and in the evening of the second
day inferred it in the great mound.
Soon the remainder Of the tribe were chased
to the swamp by the forces of Gen. Taylor,
who was now sent to conquer the pesky In
dians of FLORIDA. The poor Indians in this
situation were in IA good condition to become
extinct. They subsisted on wild fowls berries
and roots for a brief season, and then, in their
desperation, they built funeral pile, and
placing themselves IN the midst they started
the fire that not only consumed them but con
tinued to burn on, and is still burning.
Whether the mound fire communicated to
the vast fields of moss peat in the vicinity, OF
whether at tins exact point there has broken
out volcano, or whatever may be the cause
the fire still burns and the smoke continually
rises, and may be seen by seamen and passeD
gers on the guilt and by landsmen thirty five
or forty miles away. According to a Chicago
Times correspondence of April 9th, 1881, five
different orange, land companies of men have
penetrated to within five miles of the grea
mystery, but owing to the water and tanglec
vines and thick underground, they could &c

one is certainly q wonder. Not quite
three years old, he weighs 1870 pounds,

twenty-six inches around the thigh, and
seventeen inches around the ankle. The
child is bright, hearty and intelligent,
and would be handsome in the face were
it not for the heaps of solid flesh piled

all is this fat boy weighed only nine

The boy is not at all diseased, but is
lively and hearty. He has long golden

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, and other
Southern Senators, he secured an APP
