PLANT ADAPTArIoN.-Some remark
able illustrations ofthe power of plants to
adapt themselves to diverse conditions
have been furnished by the observations
of Senor Ladislao Netto, Of Rio Janeiro.
One plant-Sryehaos tripl5aerria = was
found growing in an open space as bush
about six feet high, while another speci-
men of the same species was seen in the
shade of some woods only few yards
away as a vine sixty feet in length Other
plants were allowed to become vines of
considerable length in the dense Brazilian
forests, and at once began to change their
appearance to that of shrubs on being given
free exposure to the sunlight.

graceful scenes occurred at Owen Geoghe-
gan's funeral yesterday, as well rs on the
way TO and from the cemetery. There was
n struggle for the chief mournership, and
two carriages raced for the position, and
several times both came near being
smashed. Many of those present were the

quarrels occurred, chiefly among the
women. and flowers that one set of mourn
ers placed on the tomb were snatched
away by other sets.

New YORK, January 2Sth-A curious
claim to be presented to the Legislature is
based ON the allowance by that body of
s., 600 to c. F. Raymond, whose oyster beds
were destroyed by the State Health Board
The new claimants are farmers and fisher
men. whose oyster beds were in bushes and
poles in the Poquonoc river, and which were
also destroyed. They discovered, q few years
since, that oysters could be raised most sue
cessfully on poles and brush planted in the
bed of the river. The new process was at
once recognized as the beginning of an i'm
portant industry. Experiments showed
that the supply obtained in this way was
much larger than by the ordinary method
of cultivating, and that the quality of the
oysters was far superior. From one brush
alone twenty-five bushels were obtained.
Selected oysters flom these forest beds
brought fancy prices, Fulton Marker men
being willing to pay s. bushe, when the
ordinary kindwere selling for$ 50 to 81 70.
Scarlet fever breaking ont in Grafton, it was
thought to come from the decomposed mat
ter coming from these oyster brushes. and
the whole plant was destroyed. The owners
now ask $50, 600 from the State

1he German Reichstag.

BERLIN, January 2S,h.-The Reichstag
to-day voted to reject Junggreen's motion
proposing to make compulsory the official
use of the German language in all PROV
inces of Germany Thedebate commenced
on Kibble's motion to abrogate the extra
ordinary powers vested in Baron Manteuf
fel, Goyernor-General of Alsace-Lorraine.
Won Puttkamer, Minister Of the Interior,
opposed the motion on behalf of the Gov
ernment He cited Antonie's election
speeches as a proof of the slight restrictions
upon the expression OF public opinion. The
anti-German agitation i'll Alsace-Lorraine,
he said. prevented the people from adapt
.ing themselves to the new order of things.
In view of the fact that DOltusz, a member
of the Reclstag for Alsace-Lorraine, had
addressed a letter 10 his Dear Fellow-Citi
zens Of Paris, EXPIRE sing French sympa-
,hics, it was impossible for the Government
to rescind the impressive measures now in
force.

The Citizens' School T1eket


 This then is the ticket put in the field by 'sthe prejudiced revolutionizers" of whom we have lately heard so much, and these are the candidates whom the Register will heart fly support, knowing them to be free from selfish purposes, and bound alone to a plat form of honest and necessary economy in the management of our public schools We are willing to stand or fall with such represen- tative list of candidates.
 We, therefore, are enthusiastic in urging this ticket upon our readers, irrespective of party, irrespective of religious faith We expect it will meet with determined opposition. The undeniable fact that a movement has been started to assess our school principals and high-salaried teachers for that purpose confirms us in our supposi- ton. Why it should be opposed we leave for others to state. We certainly do not know; nor have we any clearer insight into the logic that warrants those in any capacity in taking an active interest in a school cleo tion. If, however, they decide to take an active part in the election the fair infer ence is that they are not inspired by hon est intention. The campaign cry, already industrious1y circulated, that the election of the citizens ticket means reduction of the teachers salaries, while lie on it's face, is but an illustration of the improper interest taken in the election by somebody.
 We cordially commend the citizens ticket to the support of the public.
 From the New Haven Unionl

English SpOrtsmen at the Races.


 It is very interesting to watch the expres- sion upon the faces of owners of horses dur ing important races. Lord Rosebery selects choice cigar and proceeds to eat it. The Duke of Westminster tries to look as if he were interested in anything or anybody ex- cept the horses Lord Cadogan retires to an isolated spot whence he can watch the pro- ceedings unmolested, and apparently studies the mechanism of his race glasses. MT. Cra- ven walks about as if he had arrived by cident and wondered what it all meant. MT. Leopold de Rothschild selects the critical moment in a race for appropriating and sum- marily devouring the choicest articles of food at hand. Lcrd Arlington turns the color of sheet, and forcibly suggests rough passage across the channel. John Delacour selects commanding position over looking the rink, from whence he issues his final orders very much in the same way as & leader of an orchestra, a single wave of the hand producing tremendous fiutter of leaves and pencils. Sir John Astley is always pleased, and greets fortune with a broad grin, whatever happens, although occasional ly even he is forced to dissimulate. The Duchess of Montrose invariably seeks soli- tude, and, if successful emerges like Jack in-a-box from some totally unexpected quar- ter. Lord Harrington is never pleased and views the proceedings with an expression of countenance worthy of Torquemada himself MT. Peck is-Mr Peck. He glides in and cut like respectable mystery.

A Beautiful Story.

From the St. James GiZetUe
 Our correspondent, ''B. J." q man whom we respect, writes: Your story of ''F. H. R. s" dog, and, indeed, that related by "W. B. B,'' also remind me rather of the story of the cleverest dog that is reported ever to have lived. This dog was not in the habit of visiting the shops of butchers, were the dogs of ''F H. R.'' and ''W. B. B.; but his visits lay rather in the direction of the baker, to whom he was in the habit of going every morning on his masters behalf. This master wos fond of hot rolls for breakfast; he placed 8 penny each day in the dog's mouth and said to him, F'Baker." The dog would then start off for the bakers. Ar rived there he placed his feet on the counter and presented the penny to the proprietor of the shop, who, taking the penny, placed a bag containing penny roll in the dogs mouth. This the dog used safely to trans port to his master for his breakfast. One day the dog had, as usual, brought his penny to the bakers counter and duly deposited it. The man, in order to see what the dog would do, took a halfpenny roll, and, depositing it in bag, placed the latter, as usual, in the dogs mouth. The dog put down the bag on the counter and went out and fetched in the rOliceman

The School Election.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 Our great objection to the ticket for mem bers of the Board of Education, published this morning, is that it seems to cover at tack, not only on the present management of the public schools, but on the school system itself. The apparent originator of the move ment that led to it's nomination, and some others concerned in it, are understood to be hostile to the High school, or to teaching some of the branches now taught there. The main question, then, is, not what names are on the ticket, but to what policy are they pledged? Or if not formally pledged, what do their constituents expect of them?
 For my part have long been friend of the public schools. I believe they have con- tributed largely to the prosperity and to the good name and fame of the city. I also be- lieve they are now well managed and are do- ing good work. It would be a sad day for us, if under the cry of reform, we should put in jeopardy this great interest.
 Let then the friends of the public schools, before casting their votes, know not only for whom but for what policy they are vot- ing. And by all means let them all vote.
 A. w. D.
 I've publish this communication, although it's author is not courteous enough to give us credit for honesty of purpose and fair amount of intelligence. We will again ex- plain, for his benefit, that the ticket which we support represents desire for wise econ- omy and sound management. There is nothing revolutionary about it. Our cores pendent probably knows that two of it's members have shown themselves to be val uable members of the Board. And it is sim ply ridiculous for him, or anybody else, to insinuate that the other two cannot be trusted. Those who nominated the tick ct expect that the gentlemen they have nom mated will, if elected, have backbone enough to escape the mesmeric power which has been exercised on others who have been elected on s'reform'' tickets. It is not ex- pected that they will set fire to the High school, or hang the young superintendent, but it is expected that they will oppose the secrecy and the ring methods which have characterized the action of the ruling mem bers of the Board This is all. We assure our correspondent, that, although he seems to doubt it, neither the gentlemen who nominated the ticket, or those who are on 1t, are wild and wicked enough to intend doing anything that would injure New Haven's schools His idea that the contrary is the case is about as just as it would be for us to charge him with being an agent of the school ring. Ed. COURIER.
