What is Said of the NettIe:

A Belgian botanist has published
a treatise, $50 pages long, on the
singing nettle. According to the
author long life would be needed
to acquire all the knowledge TO be
gained from this humble plant
"Even then, it may be presumed
the next generation, with lmprov'
ed methods of observation and re
search, would find as much work
to do" The chief interest of the
singing nettle to botanical stu

VEGETABLE SHEEr.-On Mount Tor.
lesse, in New Zealand, grows singular
plant, specimens of which are known as
vegetable sheep The plant belongs
to the Cudweed tribe, and is described
by recent botanical explorer as growing
on loose debris at an altitude of $500 to
6,o00 feet, and forming round or kidney
shaped patches, some OF them as much
as eight feet across and three feet
high. They resemble immense cushions,
in one species snow.white and in the
other silvery-sray, and in both are formed
of a dense mass of leafy branches so
closely packed together that chissel can
not be easily thrust into the mass. The
flowers are so small that their parts can
be seen distinctly only under micro
scope. The peculiar shape and appear
ance of these plants lead to their being
occasionally mistaken for sheep by early
settlers

GOLD FIELDS OF SOUTH AFRIcA.-A
correspondent located at DeKaap gold
fields, in the Transvaal, South Africa,
writes under date of February LIST, 1856,
that he has travelled over the entire
gold-beariug districts of that province
and settled down permanently in the
above district. He says that big finds
are reported almost daily. The gold is
found in gravel reefs. There is de-.
mand for experienced miners and quartz
mill hands. The climate is warm but
the heat not oppressive. There is but
one assayer in the entire district, and
he thinks he is doing miner favor by
testing the value Of samples for which he
charges from $40 to 1925. There are
5000 miners in the DeKaap gold fields.
The best route to reach within 80 miles
Of that district is by steamer from New
York to Liverpool, thence to Durham and
from there to Delagoa Bay.

passages from it. She made an attempt

thee" About noon her husbands moth.

State Of affairs in New York City dc
not show up well. The Alderman Of that
city have proven themselves pretty much
rascals. In fact no man, excepting he i;
bruiser, plug-ugly, rogue, and man Of
the lowest cast. can secure the nomina.
ton for positions in that city, and nine
crses out of ten, he has to be Of foreign
birth The name of the candidate must
be unmistakably foreign. They WELD
and control the heavy foreign vote of that
city, and no honest man, whether he is
OF foreign birth Or not, need apply for
any Of these positions, for neither
party would nominate him, and if he
was nominated, he would surely be
defeated. This state Of affairs, to great
extent. is of itself owing to the neglect Of
the business men in that city not taking
the reins Of Government in their own
hands and displacing rogues and polite
ians in office who control the destinies of
that city, for they are thousands of them
who will not take the trouble to even
register or vote, let alone exerting them
selves in behalf Of good government.
The Great Washington knew what he
was doing, on the night before the battle,
when he issued the order, "Put none but
Americans on guard tonight" If not
in the interest of the taxpayers, at least
for the novelty Of the thing, let the peo-
pie just once elect Americans to fill the
offices in New York city, to see how it
would operate.

An exchange says: Few, indeed, are
the preachers who have reaped so rich a
pecuniary harvest from their labors in the
pulpit and platform as Henry Ward
Beecher. The Plymouth pastor estimates
his earnings during the last 40 years as
follows: Salary as preacher; $3.50, 600;
lecture fees, S240, 900; wedding fees, 49,
600; sundry publications, slOo, oOO;l,inci-
dentals, $40, 000-making grand total
of $3.50. 600. And yet this man has the
audacity to say that bread and water
should satisfy the appetite of the Ameri.
can laborer. No wonder this parasite of
puritanism should say there is no hell.
If there is such place, and If it was not
made for just such ROSTERS as Henry
Ward Beecher it should be boycotted.
A glorious crown and golden harp will
be mockery to us if, from the immortal
heights, we cannot look down upon those
who deserve all the punishment with
which superstition has invested hell.
