Whether greenhouse and window

what Is desired of them. Probably

1t seems that the more testimony adj

are, or were, the less we know specln-
cally about them. One who examined
them found them to be the fruit OF a
thorny nightshade." Now, nightshade
is very popular name, and is usually
applied, botanically, to solanaoeous
plant (atropa belladonna), including
among its common allies the "bitter-
sweet common Rightshade, 'horse-
nettle," potato. eggplant, tomato and
their varieties; all OF which bear
smooth, solid fruit and numerous small
seeds, but none of which are explosive

CHINESE EXECUTIONS.

Extensive Scale.


Extensive Scale.
The Soochow correspondent of the
North China Herald, reporting recently
the execution of eleven pirates in that
city, refers to the manner in which exc
cutions in China are fixed. In other
countries the criminal knows before
hand the day of his death and has time
to prepare for his fate. But in China all
is different Had the Hebrew prophets
lived in that country they would GER
tainly have chosen an execution as an
emblem of sudden destruction. At Pc
kin the vermillion pencil marks the
death-warrant, which is Immediately
handed to courier, who instantly
mounts horse and rides off to his des-
tination. The posts supply fresh horses,
and he goes onward, sleeping and eating

chow and delivers tho warrant to the

executioner is never trusted in Soochow
