Irritable Orchids.

1t is unnecessary to remind anyone at all IA
miliar with botany that the microscopic dia-
toms and desmids dart about in the water,
thoughas yet the cause of their locomotion is
a mystery. Some other plants have peculiar
independent motion of their own.
Some orchids exhibit a curious irritability in
their lower petals, while others are prone to
display the same nerveless nerve action in
other parts of their Aowers. The compass
plant of the American prairies presents the
edges of its leaves north and south, while their
faces are turned east and west. The sunflower,
in like manner, twists round on its stalk twice
a day, SO that its movements have led to the
ancient myth of mad Clytie, whose head is
turned by the sum-" Indeed, were all the
movements of plants either automatic or due
to irritability. taken into account, it would be
found that many of them display an animal
ity," and even an instinct, SO extraordinary
that it becomes difficult to account for them
on any other hypothesis than thar, in some
way not yet clear to us, they are endowed with
nervous-if not with brain-power.

PRESIDENT CAMPBELL, of the Window

of man to resign without making his reasons
for resigning very plain and possibly un-
pleasant for his opponents.

Two sunstrokes and general complaints
about the heat are strange things to

April at midsummer.

Ridiculous and improbable.

From the Chicago News.1
The story that President Harrison snubbed
Captain Anson of course is all nonsense. Hasn't
the captain hobnobbed with the Prince of
Wales, the Snuggaree of Hoola, and the ohmy
of Upper Thigh? Then how could a mere Presi-
dent snub this great man? The idea is absurd.

J. Rose, proprietor of Rosemead farm,

days purchased from Senator Stanford
FIVE 2-year-old, and ten yearling

1t Will Take Place I'm December.
Their Ensertainment.
Major E. w. Jones, the President Of
the Chamber OF Commerce, is at present
at Sacramento attending the convention
of the National Grange. He writes that
about $50 members of that organization
will visit this city on the LIST Of Decem.
ber, and that suitable preparations should
be made for their entertainment. AS
most of the visitors will be accompanied
by their wives, he suggests that The
ladies of Los Angeles should take some
interest in the matter. The entertain
ment of the party ct San Diego, he says,
has been placed entirely in the hands OF
the Ladies' Annex. This is society OF
ladies who work in unison with the
Chamber OF Commerce of that city, and
are very successful in helping along it's
interests.
The Major calls attention to the
rather surprising remark in recent
issue of the Sacramento Bee, in which
tho Grangers were urged 10 take notice
Of the fact that the oranges on the trees
in the northern section Of the State were
already turning yellow, whereas they
would find on their visit to the south that
the oranges there were still green. This
fact was stated in way to produce the
impression that the north produced
6ner article in the line OF citrus fruit than
the south.
The Major will pay q visit to Watson
vile when the Grange adjourns to study
the beetroot sugar interests of that part
of the State.

great crowd at the opening Of court for
the resumption of the Cronin trial this
morning, after a two days recess. The

pondent of the New York Herald, in be.

sent here by the New York Herald to in
vestigate the Cronin case, and called at
O'Sullivan's home on the morning of the
day that Cronin's body was discovered,
hut before the discovery had been made.
Witness continued: 81 asked him what
he thought of the disappearance OF DR..
Cronin. He said he would turn up some
where. He did not believe he was muir

Cronin because accidents had happened.

physician to attend to anything OF the
kind that might occur In the future"
Clancy testified that late that evening,
after hearing the body had been found,
he went again to the house OF O'Sullivan
and told him that the body OF Cronin
had been found. Witness said O'Sulli-
van turned pale and said: "What! the
body of DR.. Cronin found Is that true ?"
| Witness then wanted O'Sullivan to go in
a cab to the police station, where the
body then was, and try to identity it..
O'Sullivan shook and sank into chair,
saying it would do no good. He could
not identity him, and it would be useless
for him 10 60. Witness again urged
O'Suilivan to go, but he would not.
The croes examination of Clancy WAS
directed to eliciting details of his life,
from the time of his birth through a
varied journalistic career in London,
