Observations showing That They Possess
Force Akin to Brain Power.
The manner in which tho memosa.
| closes its stalks and leaves at the APP
proach Of darkness is very interesting.
As the cleaning gently falls the leaves
move upward toward each other till
they touch; the secondary leaf stalks
slowly droop till they are nearly
parallel with the main leaf stalks,
which in their turn fall till they point
TO the ground Thus il folds itself at
doubt, If it were not allowed TO sleep,
it would, like ourselves. soon die.
This is not only an example of the ne
cessity Of sleep for the repairing of
nervous energy and recuperation Of
brain power, but proof Of the exist
ence of the same in the vegetable
kingdom. Then there are the
earnivorous plants, the Venus ny
trap (Deonma), for instance,
which will digest raw beef as
readily as its insect prey. From glands
with which its leaf is provided fluids
are poured out which resemble the
gastric juice of the animal stomach in
its digestive properties. The matter
OF the insect body or meat IS thus alb
sorbed into the substance and tissues
of the plant just as the food taken into
the animal stomach Is digcsted and be.
comes part Of the animal fabric. H.
the animal, digestion can only be com
menced by the brain force acting by
means OF a nerve upon the gastric
glands; we may, therefore, concede
that IL is the action Of the same power
in the plant that produces the same
effect. There is no structure in plants,
so far as its functions are concerned.
more wonderful than the tip OF the
radicle. The course pursued by the
radiclc in penetrating the ground must
be determined by the tip. Oar
win wrote: 1T is hardly an ex-
aggeration to say that the tip OF
the radicle, endowed as il Is with such
diverse kinds Of senSitiveness, acts
like the brain OF animals. The brain

the body, receiving impressions from
the sense organs, and directing the
several movements. | do not quite
agree with this, but believe 1t to be
another example Of that brain power
which is the cause OF all plant move
ment. In the commencement OF plant
life we find, in the case Of the pea or
bean, for example, the radicleemerges
at one end OF the seed and the plumule
at the other. What causes the radicle
to descend and the other to ascend2
If the seed is 50 placed that the radicle

recting power, or brain force.

States Deputy Marshal Kelly went onto
the Crow reservation yesterday under
orders of Ipdiau Agent Briscoe, and
arrested Burns Cranee, better known as
Bravo, a squaw man, and arraigned him
before United States Commissioner Gates.
The squaw men had orders from Briscce
to leave the reservation, not for any
special cause, but because, from Btiscoe's
Interpretation Of the law, the squaw men
had no right to residence on the rescr.
vatiou. They all refused to leave, and
Bravo was selected with whom 10 make
test case. Bravo has an Indian wife
and two children, has lived on the reser.
walton twenty Eve years, aud has been
married sixteen years. He has lived
peaceably and quietly and has patent

case is set before the commissioner fo'

FROM TEE CAPITAL,

The Fifteenth Session Of the Idaho
Legislature adjourned on Friday morning,
(to.day, at 1880 a. M, after great ex.
element over the Alturas Division bill,
and members Of the council, who it was
claimed, tried to obstruc' legislation to
prevent Alturas county from being
divided. The obstructionists are said
to have been J. P. Clough, president Of
the council, Bingham and Perkins, Of
Alturus, aud Campbell Of Boise county,
tour in all. The end Of the fifteenth
session was drawing to close, so near
indeed, that the bill had to be passed, or
killed by the adjournment Of the legis-
lature, the majority Of the members
taking that view, vulgarly speaking
bounced the chairman, and elected Hon.
s. F. Taylor, Of Bingham, as chairman,
and passed the division bill which creates
three counties ont of Alturas, namely,
Logan, Elmore and Altnras, which was
signed by tho governor. The bill was
passed for constitutional convention,
to form state constitution for Idaho.
The election Of delegates to such con-
vention to be held in june next. The
bills relating to district attorneys wers
killed. Before Mr.. Clough resigned bis
chair to Mr.. Taylor, he declared the
council adjourned sine die, which &C,
creates q doubt as to the legality Of al
subsequent proceedings. Thus ended
the labors Of the fifteenth legislative as
sembly of ldaho.-ldaho Avalanche.
This leaves the Alturas division and
the state constitution in doubt
DeHaven informs us that the state con
stitutional bill did not pass the council ir
any form, and that the question Of thu
Alturas division will be contested 10 tn.
courts, as having been passed iu the
council after the president had declared
the council adjourned sine die.

people OF the Panhandle, themselves,
desired to be annexed. This sentiment
