Mrs. Phoebe Sawyer and her daugh-
tiers of Pomona, Cal, have for years
been struggling with poverty and
are about to become wealthy. A few
months ago Mrs. Sawyer had letter
from the law firm of Knox & Barker, of
Boston, skiing for particulars about
her nephew, Thomas @. Bean.
In 1852 Bean left his parents in Chel-
sea, Mass, to seek his fortune in the
West. His parents died, and he had no
sister or brother. All traces of him were
lost. He died in Grayson county, Texas,
over year and half ago, possessed of
cattle, lands and railroad stock worth
ubout 100000 He left no will and
no relatives that he knew of, except a
cousin in Chelsea, Mass. This cousin
laid claim to the vast estate, and In
proving the claim it was found that
Mrs. Sawyer was still living.
Mrs. Sawyer is q sister of Beans
mother and is the nearest living relative.
Her attorneys inform her that the proofs
of her relationship have been accepted
by the court at Denison, Texas, and
that her portion of Beans millions viii

The Brain power Of Plants.

The manner in which the memosa
closes its stalks and leaves at the ap-
proach of darkness i 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 it folds itself at the close of day,
and there is no doubt, if it were not al
lowed to sleep, it would, like ourselves,
soon die. This is not only an example
of the necessity of sleep for the repair
ing of nervous energy and recuperation
of brain power, but proof of the exist
ence of the same in the vegetable king
dom. Then there are the carnivorous
plants, the Venus fly trap, 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 ma ter of the insect
body or meat is thus absorbed into the
substance and tissues of the plant, Just
as the food taken into the animal
stomach is digested and becomes part
of the animal fabric. In the animal,
digestion can only be commenced
by the brain force acting by
means of a nerve upon the gastric glands;
we may, therefore, concede that it 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 func
tons are concerned, more wonderful than
the tip of the radicle. The course pur-
sued by the radicle in penetrating the
ground must be determined by the tip.
Darwin wrote: '1t is hardly an exag-
geration to say that the tip of the radicle,
endowed as it is with such diverse kinds
of sensitiveness, acts like the brain of
animals, the brain, being seated with
in the extreme end of the body, receiv-
ing impressions from the sense organs,
and directing the several movements. :"
i do not quite agree with this, but be-
lieve it to be another example of that
brain power whichis the cause Of all plant
life movement. In the commencement of
plant life we find, in the case of the pea
or bean, for example, the radicle energies
at one end of the seed and the plumule
at the other. What causes tho radicle to
descend and the other to ascend If the
seed is so placed that the radicle comes
out at the top the result is the same, for
the 1adicle Immediately turns round and
grows downward. 1t cannot be gravita-
ton, although Darwin thought it was,
because that would have the same effect
upon the plumule. There can only be
one reason, and that is the existence of
a directing force, or brain power.- Ma

Uniqas Feature of the PARIS Expo
sition.

Perhaps after the Eifel Tower, one of
the most unique features of the exhibi-
ton is the History Of human habita-
tions," which has been organized by
Charles GARNER, the eminent architect
of the famous Grand Opera House in
Paris. This is an exceedingly curious
exhibition, and, as fancy, must ever
have the germ of novelty. 1t runs par
allel with the Champ de Mars, and the
fac-simile of habitations of mankind
which it exhibits date from the remotest
periods, when men lived in holes and
caves, to the elegant marbles of the
Renaissance. In order TO arrange his
history more clearly GARNER has di-
vided it into two parts-the prehistoric
and the historic. In the first division
are included the subterranean dwellers
and the savages who lived in caves,
while the second division includes every
form of architecture known to history.
In this valuable collection GARNER
traces the progress of men from the dim
periods of the stone and metal ages to
the frail shelter of the South Sea
Islanders, the snow huts of the Esqui
maux, the straw hut krall of the Afri-
can, the gloomy villa of the Arab,
the gaudy palaces of Peru and Mexico.
the Oriental, Grecian, and Roman forms
of architecture, the Tudor mansions,
and so ON up to the modern houses. All
of these specimens of habitations have
been built with the greatest care, are
absolutely faithful to the original med
els, and represent, so far as human
knowledge can tell it, the entire deyel-
opment and evolution OF the human
race, as far as its habitations are con
cerned. 1t is Of course impossible to go
into the details of such a superb scheme
as this in the space of short newspaper
article.

"Bad Word" Societies.

sBad word" societies are the latest in
situations at several of the city schools.
They are destined to do deal of good
that is of nature that generally lies be-
You'd the reach of teachers. There are
few Fairgrounds attached to boy
schools in this vicinity where language
is not constantly used which would
grieve and astound the mothers of those
who utter and of those who hear them.
The rules OF the Bad Word society are
usually not written down; but they are
something like this: Gone cent fine for
every bad word spoken; every boy to re-
port his own bad words TO the treasurer
and pay up; no telling of any other boy s
bad words; the money to go to the school
library"
This is simple and practical. Perhaps
the scheme might be enlarged little so
as to include the grosser forms of bad
grammar, such as ~ done it, F" ''them
cabbages, /" and 'syou was. 1t is high
ly absurd that the boys who have been
going to a grammar school for years
should violate the most rudimental laws
of grammar every time they speak ten
consecutive words.
But the main point is to destroy the
habit Of polluting the mouth and cor
rupting the heart by the use of words
which they call ''bad" Every boy
knows what they are, for no one can
keep beyond the sound of them. They
pollute the air of every street and are
heard more or less wherever and when
ever there is q company of boys playing
together. They partly cause the dread
that mothers feel when they see their
little ones going for the first time to a
boys school. The mothers watch their
boys departure with mixture Of pride,
pleasure and apprehension, and turn
away from the window at last with a
sigh, because they know that few older
boys yet realize what duty they owe to
younger ones in the way of good exam

R1cHmoND's BREAD RIOT.
Jefferson Davis Describes a War
lime Incident.

On the day of the riot april 2, 1863,
Mr.. Davis said, he received word while
in his Office in Richmond that serious
disturbance, which the Mayor and Gov
ernor Letcher with the State forces
under his command were entirely un-
able to suppress, was in progress on the
streets. He quickly proceeded to the
scene of trouble in the lower portion OF
the city, whittier the venerable Mayor
had preceded him. He found large
crowd on Main street, although the
mass of the rioters were congregated on
one of the side streets leading into that
thoroughfare. They were headed by a
tall, daring, Amazonian-looking woman,
who had white feather standing erect
from her hat, and who was evidently
directing the movements of the plumber
ers. The main avenue was blocked by
dray from which the horses had been
taken, and which had been hauled
across the street, and it was particularly
noticeable that though the mob claimed
that they were starving and wanted
bread they had not confined their oper-
atoms to food supplies, but had passed
by, without any effort to attack, several
provision stores and bakeries, while
they had completely Quilted one jewelry
store and had also ''looted'' some MILL
merry and clothing shops in the vicinity.
At the Confederate Armory in Rich
mond were engaged number of armor-
ers and artisans enrolled by General
Gorgas, Chief Of Ordnance, 10 work
especially for the Government. These
men had been organized into a military
company under the command of a cap
tain, whose bearing was that of train
ed, sturdy soldier, accustomed to obey
orders, and ready to do his duty un-
hinchingly, no matter what it might be.
This company had been promptly or
dered to the scene of riot, and arrived
shortly after Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Davis mou- ted the dray men
toned and made brief address to the
formidable crowd of both sexes, urging
them to abstain from their lawless acts.
He reminded them of how they had
taken jewelry and finery instead Of sup
plying themselves with the bread, for
the lack of which they claimed they
were suffering. He concluded by say
ing: "You say, we are hungry and have
no money. Here is all have; it is not
much, but take it. He then, emptying
his pockets, threw all the money they
contained among the mob, after which
he took out his watch and said: 1--WE do
not desire to iniure any one, but this
lawlessness must stop. l will give you
five minutes time to disperse, otherwise
you will be fred on. The order was
given the company to prepare for firing,
and the grim, resolute old captain-who,
Mr.. DAVIS said, was an old resident OF
Richmond, but whose name he does not
recall-gave his men the command,
LOAD" The muskets were then loaded
with buck and ball cartridges, with
strict observance Of military usage, and
every one could see that when their
stern commander received orders to fire
he intended to shoot to kill. The mob
evidently fully realized this fact, and
began to dispense, and before the five
minutes had expired the trouble was
over and the famous misnamed bread
not was at an end Richmond (Va.)
