Japan'S National Flower.

The cherry blossom is the national
flower OF Japan, as the rose is of Eng
land, the lily OF France, the thistle of
Scotland, and shamrock OF Ireland. On
the Mikado's flags, pagers and carriages,
and Oh the soldiers caps and uniforms,
you will see the open chrysanthemum.
But the flower of the people and the ma
tion is the flower of the blossoming
cherry tree. The Japanese cultivate all
over Japan, by the millions, the sakura
tree, which is valued only for the beauty
of its blossoms. From an entire tree
you could not get ripe cherries enough
to make pie; but the blossoms are
massed together on the boughs like
clouds, and the blooms are often as
large as a rose. ~
Picnics in Japan are called "Going to
see the flowers" In June millions of
the people go out to sing ana sport and
laugh and play under the cherry trees,
or to catch the ''snow showers that do
not fall from the skies" There are tens
of thousands of stanzas of poetry about
the cherry tree. Some OF the people
become so enchanted with the lovely
blossoms under them, as to even wor
ship the famous old tree.

JANUARY IL,
An Indignant Tree.
From die Virginia Enterprise.

~HO"s ~to TytHtU enterprise.
A gentleman OF this place has a spe.
cles OF acacia tree grown from seed
brought from Australia. The tree is
now sapling 81 me eight feet in height.
1t is lugumiuious and shows the charac.
teristics of the sensitive plant. Regus
larly every evening, about the time the
chickens go to roost, the leaves fold to-
gether, and the ends of the tender twigs
coil themselves up like the tail OF a pig.
After one of the twigs has been stroked
or handled, the leaves move uueasilv
and are in sort of mild commotion for
minute or more.
Recently the tree was transplanted
into a larger pot 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 a quivt
er. This could have been endured, but
at the same time it gave out an odor
most pungent and sckening, just such
smell as is given out by rattle-snakes
and many other kinds of snakes in
summer when leased. This odor so
filled the house and was so sickening
that it was found necessary to open the
doors and windows. It 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 Tor going
to sleep had arrived.

Married in Haste to Repent at Leisure.

On Wednesday last the nuptials of the
Greenback and Democratic parties were cele-
brated III our village. This marriage. how
ever, was not accomplished without consider
able opposition. ana is not expected by the
high contracting parties to endure longer
than until the evening of the eth of Novem-
Der next. After the parties have occupied
the same bed that length of time, their in
compatibility of temper will cause a mutual
separation. The two conventions, which
met here on the 18th, Z" harmonized" as the
Herdtd puts it, or to use the language of Mr..
Yaple, they resolved 10 cooperate. The
Greenback convention was organized by
choosing Mr.. l.. Tuttle, chairman, and L. L..
Warner, secretary, and the Democratic con-
vention elected Elijah Warner as its presid-
ing officer, and j.. A. Blsckman, secretary.
In the formation of the marriage contract,
the soft moneyites enacted the role CT the
amorous swain, while the hard moneyites
played the part of the all-too-willing maiden.
Before the report of the committee on Gre
dentias had been received, on motion of DIR.
G. S. Maynard, a conference committee was
appointed TO interview the Democrats, con-
sisting of DR.. Maynard, Q. 7. Mosier. and j.
Nj. Robertson.
This committee was received with open
arms, and with equal haste, Messrs. Miller,
Stevens. and Fiield were appointed by the
Democrats to stand sponsors for the willing
bride. TLie having been accomplished the
convention adjourned for dinner.
On reas ,mbiing, the Democrats received
their committee reports. The report of the
conference committee was unanimously in
favor of the marriage and recommended the
following division of candidates:
Sheriff. a Democrat; Clerk, Greenbacker
Treasurer, Democrat; Register, Green
hacker: Pros. Attorney, Democrat; Sur
veyor, a Greenbacker; Circuit Court Com
missioner. one Democrat and one Green
hacker; Coroners, one Democrat and one
Greenbacker, and Representatives, one Dem
ocrat and one Greenbacker. This report
was adopted.
An hours time was expended in the Green
back convention in wrestling with the report OF
the committee on credentials, and this bust
ness was not disposed of when the confer
ence committee put in an appearance. AS
soon as that committee could be heard, the
chairman presented its report, whereupon
delegate sprang TO his feet and moved that
the report be rejected, which received O
prompt support. Then il was that confusion
became worse COMPOUNDED, and the chairman
cried order! order! and pounded the desk
vigorously with his gavel, but there was nc
order. The secretary said he did not wonder
people said Greenbackers did not know
enough TO run convention, they had exem
pIified it to-day and he wished he was on

tics this week, as naturally as Silas Wegg did

In recent issue of the Gobleville Idc6r-
.Eiser, the correspondent from this place says
of the delegates to the county convention
"We presume they are now more thoroughly
victimized by the all-absorbing eXcellences
.of Republican platitude.' Now We do not
know what those largest words mean, but We
do pride ourselves on belonging TO party
that will not sell us out some day, without even
saying by your leave. They also say that
there are "Many commendable things appear
III the Greenback platform adopted by the
State convention at Grand Rapids" but the
only one there, is that lit favors the present
ing of the question of constitutional prohibi-
ton before the people" Where have they
been that they have not seen that the Repub-
Iican State convention deWdHded the presen-
tation of this question. 1t will be hard work
70 make those who attended the county con-
vention, believe that there are more, or better
temperance men in the ranks of the Green
back or Democratic parties. than there are
in the Republican party. when the testimony
of the saloon keepers, where conventions are
usually held. is that "A Republican conven-
ton don't amount to anything because they
don't drink any whiskey, but let Green
back or Democratic convention meet here,
and we have to stock up heavy.
