Remains of Strange Plant Found in Chunks
of COal-Indiana Fossils.

Sometime ago ex-Mayor Caven discovered a
singular formation in chunk of block coal at
his Office. On examination it was thought to be
a new coal plant. Strangely enough, Prof
Collett, few days afterward, while walking
along the street was attracted by a lump of coal
which, on examination, showed the same kind of
a coal plant that Mr.. Caven had previously
found. The two were sent to Prof Leo Lesque
reux, of Columbus, o., the best posted living ex
pert in vegetable paleontology. The Professor,
who has devoted more than fifty years to the
study of such remains, says: Il have never
seen in our coal measures any plant remains like
the specimens sent The transversely ribbed
stems of Cordaites are the only plants to which
yours may be compared. I believe, therefore,
that the specimens are referable to this peculiar
kind of plants, whose characteristics appear in
Conifers" He adds: ut is possible
that we have here fragment of some
kind of Conifers rarely observed in coal,
which has been described by the French author
Grand Fury as Arthropetus. The woody struc-
ture being destroyed, it is impossible 10 decide
as to the interior characteristics Prof Collect
requests coal miners to take the trouble TO save
specimens Of plants and remains which viii as
sist science to add to our paleontographic in
formation.
The State Geologist placed on the shelves of
the museum, yesterday, five teeth of the masto-
don, two of the mammoth, an incisor of the
giant beaver ian animal which, when in good
health, is supposed to have weighed about 900
pounds), tooth of the ancient horse, and the
bones of the peccary. All these animals were
deniZens of Indiana and will be described in the
forthcoming geologic report for 1884.

their purpose to resign at once upon

but on the contrary held on TO the
government tsat with such tenacity as
TO stamp them "a devotees of che spoils
system. Now we do not wonder at
this, for they simply do what every man
Of intelligence knew they would do,
when they were Attempting to establish
u character of disinterested devotion to
the Republican party. Every observ-
ant person knew that their devotion to
office was much stronger than their
devotion to their party. Two
cases of assumed devotion on the part
Of some of these very fastidious officials
to their party have come to light by their
sending in their designations, one q
postmaster in New Hampshire, the
other en- official in Iowa, but both dis
closed the fact in their letters of resig-
nation that they had secured otker po-
sitions equally or more lucrative than
the places they were yielding up on the
pretext that to the victor belongs the
spoils. This fact took away all the ap-
parent virtue in their resignAtions. AL
who have studied our system of popular
government and the line Of party poll
tiss which necessarily grows out Of it,
has learned that, in order to hold 3
