The Rally.

did themselves proud at
the grand rally, at this place, Mon
day night.
Neither labor nor money we're
spared in contributing to features
that would entertain the large. crowd
that was expected to be with 1s.
Mr.. j. J. Moore was grand mar
shal and covered the duties assigned
to him most admirably. JEST 1000
torches lad been purchased for the
OCCASION. and all of these were tax
en- and-many more could have been
used. The denizens of neigboring
towns, and. townships turned out
en- masss to take part in celebrat'
Jog .ns 81 ,rious Democratic victory
of Tuesday OF last week.
The lins of march was formed at
the court-house, and marched from
there to Bridge street and thence
through most Of the principal streets
OF our town.
There were about 800 in the line
of march, nearly 200 of whom we've
either in conveyances or on horse
back.
The Keytesville broom brigade,
composed of 54 young ladies, and also
40 Keytesville young men addressed
| in uniforms. constituted a very q,

some young ladies, chaperoned by
Messrs. w. ID. OwnDy anu c. b
Oldham, were one of the "sweet'
features of the parade.
Lat which caught the eye of th'
entire crowd was d float, rugged as Z
boat, representing the boat. of tn,
Z. o. p. going up Salt river. Uncle
Sam was pilot, while Harrison. Reed
Chairman Carter and Mckinley wer,
all represented as being on board
aud were pulling with vim for the
head waters of Salt river Thi,
float was one of the most if not the
most, (barring the broom brigad,
of course) unique attractions of the
procession.
The decorations at the business
houses and at private residences
along the Line of march were highly
creditable, and added greatly to the
scenic effects of the rally.
After the conclusion of the parade
the display of fireworks took place
from the vacant lot just west of the
school-house Under the management
of A. +. Tooley, county treasurer.
The pyrotechnic display, while not
large, was good and showed splendid
taste in the selection of the pieces.
The old Mexican cannon, captured
at Sacramento in 1S47, was on the
grounds and made the weIkin ring
several times during the evening.
Altogether the rally was as grand
and glorious a SUCCESS as MAS the
recent Democratic victory.
Speaking of the large attendance,
Mr.. A. l.. Wires, of Brunswick, said:
81 have been coming TO Kevtesvllie
for AZ years and l never saw such a
crowd of people here before"
The crowd was estimated at 5 900,
and everybody lett well pleased
twin the evenings entertainment.

They were very pretty, and there was
apparently five or six years difference in
their ages. AS the train pulled up at
8ussey, out on the A. X. D., the younger
girl hlushed, tlattened her nose nervously
against the window, and drew back in
joyous smiles as young man came dash
ing into the car, shook hands tenderly and
cordially, insisted on carrying her valise,
magazine, little paper bundle, and would
probably have carried her, had she let

The Beothick Indians of Newfound-
land, at one time the aboriginal inhabi-
tants of the island, can now only be
counted by one or two skeletons and
few skulls, so completely have they been
swept away. The French employed the
Mic Mac Indians of Nova Scotia to fight
against and exterminate them. Accord
ing to an account in the late issue of the
Transactions of the Canadian Institute
they were peaceable and quiet race,
given to hunting and fishing.
They used canoes made of birch rind
and of skins of deer, like the Esquimaux
cayak. They had no pottery and used
utensils of birch rind sewed together,
but they employed soapstone dishes as
lamps, their form being similar to those
amonge the Esquimaux at the present
day. They carved deer and walrus
horns and the bones of the seal into Or
naments which they wore on their dresses
and ornamented their heads with combs.
The carvings are in triangular patterns,
and out Of the large collections in the
museum at St. Johns there are no two
ornaments having the same pattern.
Their stone implements were more rudely
constructed than those of the western
Indians.

Silly Collectors.

The German newspapers state that a
learned professor who recently died at
Berlin had collected huge boxes full of
bill-headings. He had been busy for
more than twenty years in accumulating
these utterly useless, soiled scraps Of
paper.
A certain royal duke, we'll known in
Paris, left at his death store of thous-
ands of milk jugs. They had not been
purchased for any merit in material or
workmanship, but simply because they
were made to hold milk.
An old woman who died lately in Del
aware bequeathed hundreds of crazy silk
cushions which she had made and
boarded. When few rags of silk would
be given her, she would cry, "Now I
have something to live for!" and set to
work zealously to make another cushion.
Yet she had children and grandchildren
to whose lives or fate she was. Indifferent.

Plant Growing From a Caterpillar.
The curious fungus which is some
times taken for an insect is fungus that
roots itself in a caterpillar and grows
from it, feeding on the body of the insect.
Of course in time the insect dies, and the
fungus then perishes as soon as it has ex-
hausted the nutriment in the body of the
caterpillar The plant is of the same ma
ture as mushroom, and when it natures
il produces spores by which new plants
sre propagated in the same way, attach
ing themselves to any insect that comes
in contact with them in the soil. These
curious plants are used as medicine by
tine natives of some parts of Asia, where
they are found quite abundantly. The
plant, when dug out Of the ground, has
the exhausted and dried body Of the in
sect attached to it in the manner of
root, but it is easily distinguished by its
shape. The insect is filled with the sub
stance of the fungus, and appears as
part of the plant. A variety OF beetle
that is found in North America is at
tackled by the same kind of fungus;
others are found in Central America, and
others in New Zealand In the last men,
toned country the fungus is very large
aud has all the appearance of mush-
room which is eaten as food by the ma

How the Car Spends tho Day.

Mr.. H. De Windt, in his volume on
"Siberia, tells how the Russian Emperor
spends the day. The Cars habits are
simple and regular His mornings,
which begin at o'clock, are devoted to
study. correspondence and interviews
with his Ministers. At midday he
breakfasts with the Empress and his
family. In the afternoon he walks, rides
or drives.
Alexander III is fond of violent exer-
else. At Gatschna his favorite amuse-
ments are Telling trees in the summer,
in winter clearing away snow from the
ice-hills. At o'clock he dimes. No
Partisan bourgeois or British yeomen is
fonder of simple domestic life than the
"Great White Czar.
The summer months are usually passed
at Gatschina, where great precautions
are taken for the Cars safety. All the
avenues are closely guarded, while the
palace and grounds are brilliantly illH-
minated by electric lights from dusk to
dawn, summer and winter. The peas

that "It is never night at Gatschina!"

A Squirrel story.

I've got true squirrel story to tell you,
said member of the club the other
evening. A friend of mine having -
cottage on the shore of Oneida Lake left
a cornstarch box or package in the pam
try. There was little cornstarch re-
naming in it, and to secure it against
mice the box was placed inside of a tall
pitcher having very smooth surface.
My friend was at the cottage again few
days after and bethought himself of tho
cornstarch. Upon examining to see if
the mice had got at it, the box was found
standing on end in the pitcher as left,
but it was filled to the brim with sweet
acorn meats, all shelled and as nicely laid
in as any person could have done it, amt
not one was to be found in the pitcher
outside Of the box. Those squirrels must
have expended good deal of labor and
worked faithfully to have accomplished
the job in so short a time. OF course
the acorns were not disturbed, but left
for the squirrels winter subsistence.

A Scrap OF Miscellany Not Only Worth
Reading But Worth r,s~rvinC.

hsauInX but w ~
The French horn or cor de chHsSe is re-
garded by some musicians as the sweet
est and mellowest of all the wind instru-
ments. In Beethoven's time it was little
else than the old hunting horn, which.
for the convenience OF the mounted
hunter, was arranged in spiral convolu-
tions. to be slipped over the head and
carried resting on one shoulder and un-
der the opposite arm. The Germans still
call it waldhorn, that is. forest horn. !"
If the orchestra French horns were
Strengthened out they would be seven.
teen feet long. The convolutions of the
horn and the many turns Of the trumpet
are all the fruit of necessity; they could
not be manipulated to produce the tones
asked of them if they were not bent and
curved. The trumpet, when its tube is
heightened by the addition of crooks for
its lowest key, is eight feet long; tuba,
sixteen.
In most orchestras Gn all those in the
United States, in fact, except the Boston
Symphony Orchsstra), the word "trum-
pet" is merely a euphemism for cornet,
the familiar leading instrument of the
brass band Boston Advertiser.

Changing the COlors of Flowers.

1t does not seem to have been recog
niznd as fact that what a branch cut
und placed in water will do is no criterion
IF what the same branch will accomplish
through the aid of its natural roots; but
there is evidently great distinction. No
matter what we may water plant with.
when it is in a hedthful growing condi-,
ton, no perceptible influence is made on
thel color Of the flower; but if we
cut off a Branch and place it in
water which contains little ether
added to small quantity of liquid
ammonia, the flowers will take
various colors. This difference is we'll
worth noting. because many of the facts
which we accept as such in vegetable
physiology have been founded on what
branches do when cut and put in water.
Many have supposed that they can
change the color of the hydrangea from
rose to pink by watering with various
liquids OF adding ingredients to the soil
Whatever causes the change in the hy-
drangea, 1t is connected with vital power,
and not with any element in the soil.
