The date-palms, which form the wealth of
the Arabs of the desert, and one of which now
waves its long boughs in the breeze before us,
are all female; the male or pOllen-bearing flow
ers OF the date kind always grow on a separate
tree; and as pollen is produced by them in vast
quantities, it is not necessary in palm-gr to
have more than a single male stem to some 40
or so fruit-bearing individuals. The Arabs,
therefore, never raise their palms from seed, as
they cannot make sure Of the sex of seedlings
they take suckers from the root of female
tree, already known to be good bearer of fine
fruit and these suckers not only follow the
sex of the so-called mother but also reproduce
its special peculiarities of flower and seed in
every respect. They cannot fail to do So in
deed, seeing that they are part and parcel of
the original palm, actual members of the self
same plant; just as the various branches of an
apple-tree all bear the same kind of apples, OF
the boughs of a icurrant-bush all produce the
self-same currants.

In the House but little business was trans
acted other than private measures, large
number of which were read third time and
passed, and the House took recess at 5 o'clock.
The House assembled at 8 o'clock D. IN. for
the consideration of private pension bills and
quite large number were passed, and ad-

The prospects Of an adjournment sine die are
not very noticeable at present, although it is
expected that the only two general appropria-

general deficiency and sundry civil bills) will
pass during the week, and there will be no
good reason why an adjournment should not
Immediately follow. But little business can be
transacted, for there is not committee of the
House which has a quorum, and all legislation
in the House or Committee Of the Whole is
transacted now without quorum, most of the

A Strange Story.

John Tierney, a Brooklyn fireman, is
quoted as saying: II live near Cypress
Hill, at the head of Fulton street, and a
family of the name of Dottlo lives there,
too. Last week--I think il was Wednes-
day--Miss Dottle, young girl Of 10, died.
Her father is Mr.. Dottle, the cellar exca-
vator. She lay in the coffin two days in
her white shroud, with flowers all round
her. Her friends came TO see her and
take leave of the remains of once beau
tiful and esteemed girl, and at length the
moment arrived when she was to be
borne to her last resting place. As may
be supposed, her mother was most
affected; she was frantic with grief, in
fact, and her cries were loud and bitter.
She refused 10 leave the coffin, aud when
they forced her away she screamed loud
enough to awake the dead. And, assure
as my name is John Tierney, the girl
opened her eyes. Such scene as was
then witnessed it is not for me to attempt
10 describe. She sat up in the coffin, they
wrapped blankets around her and re-
moved her TO her room, where she tainted
away again. But all was plain sailing
now. They applied restoradves and, TO
make long story short, the girl who had
been in trance is alive to-day and pro-
crossing rapidly toward convalescence ="

On the 18th of February, the day pre-
ceding Mardi Gras, there will be held Il
meeting of ex-Confederate cavalrymen,
who Will gather here from several South
ern States for the purpose of founding an
organization intended to include within
its membership as many survivors as pos
sible of various cavalry commands of
the Southern armies, The call includes
all ex-Confederate cavalrymen who may
choose to Join, no matter what leader they
served under during the war. The organ
ization, when formed, is likely, therefore,
to include men who were engaged both in
the Eastern and Western theatres of ope-
rations, who rode and won imperishable
fame with Forrest, Stephen ID. Lee, Chal-
meIs, Hampton and the many other fa-
nous cavalry generals of the Southern
