see them, and while you are here take
look at our prints also, which we are

inferiority in quality; this is not the case,
however. These are Aliens prints and

on the question of compromise on Satur-

Bill Nye on Jeff Davis.

/ see that Mr. Jefferson Davis, who has
recently entered the lecture field SAYS
that there could have been no nobler
cause for which to die, no opportunity
more glorious for 4 proud and honorable
death, than that afforded the Confederate
soldier who espOused the cause of the
South twenty wears ago. Looking at il
in that way, ask, in all candor, why did
not Mr.. Davis improve that glorious OPP
portunity? Feeling that way about it,
why did he not remove his polonaise and
die like a man? Why did he let such
chance go by, in order that be might
enter the lecture field and crowd out bet
ter men, and then die of old age. when
he could have hung his hoop-skirt on a
tree and died in way that would have
endeared him to every Southern heart.
l agree with the lamented A. Ward.
that 1T would have been S25 in Mr.. Dsl-
Wis pocket if he had never been born. -
but after he was born and it was too late
10 consider his rash act, he should have
died as young as possible. With charac-
teristic tariiness, however, he allowed
himself To grow up, and then with the
full knowledge, as he now admits, that
the war of the rebellion afforded beau
tiful opportunity for man who yearned
to die in a neat and attractive way, he
fooled away the golden moment and con
tinued to destroy the high priced grocer
les of the despondent South
There is certainly "a tide in the affairs
of men, which, taken at the food, leads
on to fortune" and Mr.. Davis surely miss
ed it when he neglected 10 make finer-
al tableau of himself

Senator'S PecuIiarities.

Many of these Senators have peculiar
habits of amusing themselves while they
sit in the chamber Senator Hoar is al
ways swinging bunch of keys, and he
seems to be uneasy when he does not
have them in his hands ingalls, has two
pairs of glasses for his eyes One is aipair
of spectacles which judge are for near
sightedness, and the other is pair of
gold eyeglasses which he uses to read by.
Ingalls, is very fond of playing with these
eyeglasses. He holds them up by the
black string with which they are fasten-
ed, and twirls them around between his
thumb and finger holding his elbow on
the arm of the chair while he looks
about the Senate Senator Mitchell is
great letter-writer, and his desk is always
covered with papers. He scribbles away
all day, and he seems never to have an
idle moment. He never sits still, and
bobs from one seat TO another, carrying
laughter with him. and bringing broad
grin across the jaws of every Senator he
meets by his good stories. Malone is
another man who moves about the SEN
ate good deal. His walk is sort of
strut, and the atmosphere about him
seems permeated with the word game"
He has a way of throwing back his head
and waving his long beard with a defiant
air. He often pulls his beard, grasping a
whole handful at the chin, and twisting
the hair slowly as he goes downward the
full foot of its length. He affects some
eccentricities of dress. He is noted for
dress. He is noted for wearing clothes of
the finest quality, and he occasionally
has ruffies on his fine linen shirts. He
wears his vest unbuttoned very often, and
his coat is cut in the shape of bell with
skirts full enough for hips twice his size
As sit here now it is curious to watch
the actions of some of these Senator'S
Cullum, of Illinois, is playing with
string, and Dolph, of Oregon, is tapping
his knees with his spectacles Eli Sauls-
bury, as tall as Jacks bean-stalk, is walk
ing about the chamber with his hands in
his pockets, and Senator George of Mis-
sisslppi, has one of the ends of his gold
spectacles frame in his right ear. and he

and as look in | note that another Sem
ator, who has been performing the same
operation upon his molars, has taken
the blade out of his teeth and is cleaning
bis teeth and is cleaning his finger nails
with it. The knife is often used as a tooth
pick by Senators, and half hour rarely
passes when one or more NAV not be seen
touching their teeth with the cold steel
Of the penknife.
Evarts, when he laughs, looks very
much like the American eagle on broad
grin. i have noted that Senator Hoar
reads a great deal in the Senate Chamber
and that the books often cover several
different languages.- Carp in the Gerela,td

Popular Science.

The simplest way in which to measure
the rate of plant growth is to mark lines
with jet black India ink OH roots growing
on wet filter paper. There will be found
TO he marked variations of growth, even
when all necessary conditions are seem
ingly the same. Perhaps these depend
on inheritance
Mahogany and other rare and valuable
woods are dug up from muck beds on the
estate of Captain ]. c. Patterson, at Pen
sacola, Fla. Prof. Won FilkenhaSser, of
Norway, who has examined this wood
mine, states that the woods referred to
are suitable for furniture, and the speci-
mems that have been examined are fully
5000 years old.
The ornamental Pisonia grandis of
Australia has seeds like an elongated
barley corn, which are covered with Il
very sticky gum. This adheres to the
legs and feathers of winged creatures
that come in contact with it, and makes
the plant natural bird-catcher, no less
than hundred birds having been known
to be captured by one tree alone in Vic
toria.
The quantity of poison conveyed in
the fangs of venomous snakes appears to
be very small, but of very powerful quail
ity. Dr. Vincent Richards, of Bengal,
mentions kraft which quickly killed
three men and seriouslypoisoned a fourth
by bites given in rapid succession. He
estimated that the reptile carried eight
grains of liquid venom in its poison
glands, which are smaller than those of
the cobra.
Every living, active part of plant
contains certain amount of water. From
many juicy parts ninety per cent. of wa
ter can be expelled by drying; many
greene leaves held from seventy-fve to
eighty, while from seeds which we call
"dry," it is sometimes passible to drive
off about ten per cent. Part of this wa
ter is 80 intimately combined with the
plant structure, that, if it is once expell-
ed, il cannot be again taken up so as to
restore the plant to its former condition.
most remarkable instance of the ex-
tension of the geographical distribution
of species is found by Mr.. j. ]. Walker,
of the British navy, in q certain beauti-
tiful butterfly. Starting from its original
home on the American continent, where
it is common from the Hudson Bay ter
ritory to the estuary Of the Rio de la
Plata, this butterfly has been spreading,
under our observation, into very remote
regions. Crossing $3.50 miles of ocean to
the Sandwich Islands, it rapidly and
rsteadily continued its course over
the whole breadth of the Pacific
and far into the Malay archipelago, no
the south apd west h has appeared in
New Zealand Australia. Eastward it has
reached the West Indies, the Azores, and
within the last ten years has even made
its advent in the British Isles.
