A Mystery In Plant Life.

A correspondent asks whether plants
can see Or not, and suggests that as
plants will turn their tendrils in the
direction Of something to cling to, that
may indicate that plants can possibly
see. It is certainly a fact that the
proximity Of something to cling to will
make parts Of plants turn in that di-
rection. There is evidently some at.
traction, but as for seeing as we gen
orally understand by sight, this is, of
course, entirely out of the question.
{ A very pretty experiment may be
made by placing stakes in among a
mass Of garlic. The leaves will in
many cases be found twisting around
tie stakes, occasionally clinging tight
" to them, but, as generally seen, the
garlic would be the last thing we would
think of as having a twining habit,
and yet we see by this that when there
is a chance to Irvine they evidently
know that the chance is there. 1t is
not sight, but it some remarkably at
tractive power. What the nature of
that power is has not yet been deter.

THE SCHOONER.

Just mark that schooner westward far
at sea:
TITS but an hour ago @
When she was lying hoggish at the
't quay, 9 E
And men ran to and fro,
And tugged and stamped, and showed,
aud pushed, and swore.
And ever and anon, with crapulous
glee, w..
Grinned homage to viragoes on the shore.
So to the jetty gradual she was hauled:
Then one the tiller took.
And chewed, and spat upon his hand,
and bawled; ~
And one the canvas shook
Forth like moldy bat; and one with
mods =
And smiles, lay on the bowsprit end and
And cursed the harbor master by his
gods.
And, rotten from the gunwale to the keel,
Rat-riddled, bilge-bestank,
Slime slobberrd, horrible, I saw her reel
And drag her oozy flank,
And sprawl among the deft young
waves. that laughed,
And leapt, and turned in many sport
i've wheel,
AS she thlimped onward with her lum-
bering draught.
And now. be]lold shadow of repose
Upon the line of gray
She sleeps, that transverse cuts the even
rose,
She sleeps and dreams away,
Soft-blended in unity of rest
All jars, and strifes obscene, and turbu-
lent thrOes
Meath the broad benediction of the
West;
Sleeps; and methinks she changes as she
sleeps,
And dies, and is a spirit pure;
Lo. on her deck an angel pilot keeps
His lonely watch secure;
And at the entrance of Heavens dock
yard waits
Till from Nights leash the fne-breath' d
morning leaps,
And that strong hand within unbars
the gates

protection. Finding this the case, he
determined to kill Joe Tuggle on sight
Tuggle was in Homer one Saturday
afternoon, and was just starting home.
When he approached the east side Of
the public square John Ramsey stepped
from a store with shotgun, calling,
Look out, joe and fired at him. Tug
gle turned his horse and galloped back
across the square and fell with load
of shot in his side Ramsey pursued
him on foot, firing several times, but
without further effect.
Ramsey was caught by the officers,
and it required three Of them to dis
arm him. His gun barrel was twisted
and broken in the struggle He was
jailed, but was instantly bailed out.
Tuggle's wound was not serious, and
he was well in a few days. Then it
was hourly expected that they would
meet again and one or the other fall a
victim r. r ...s<> s:&

During the parish fair Joe and his
brother Hamp were in town, and so
was John Ramsey. Joe was armed
with Winchester. He was crossing
the square when he sighted Ramsey
He called, Look out, John,'' and open
ed on him.. Ramsey lodged into a store
and escaped, but a dancing master
named Williams received the bullet in
tended for him and fell to the sidewalk
mortally wounded. No action was ta-
ken against the Tuggles by the officers
of the law, because, as was evidently
the case, they stood in too great fear
of them.
Williams was a stranger and had no
friends, but popular sentiment at last
grew SO strong that the officers entered
| into a parley with the Tuggles. Joe
Tuggle consented to give himself up on
| promise that he would be allowed q
second story room and be kept under
| guard. But he grew weary Of confne-
| ment and was bailed out on the pre-
| text that confinement would endanger
| his life
The grand jury found a true bill
| against Hamp Tuggle as accessory to
the murder of Williams, and he was
also released on bail p. ..
All was quiet until court convened
The first Monday of the term brothers

ways been on good terms with each

Joe and Hamp Tuggle were and en-

toxicated. They separated, and Tuggle
went out by the back way and Ramsey
by the front door. They met again or

John got a warning and did not show
himself.
Death of Newt Glover.
Joe Tuggle and his intimate friend
Newt Glover, were seen going toward
Tuggle's home that afternoon, which,
peOnle thought meant some new move
on the part Of the Tuggles I
Next morning john Ramsey's cook
rushed into the house, terrified, saying
she had seen Joe Tuggle dodge behind

house to reconnoitre and caught sight
Of the: retreat ting figure Of a man: He

One Wednesday morning Joe Tuggle
and Newt Glover appeared in town
and bought large quantity Of alnmu-
milton, saying they were going to kin
ducks on the Glover plantation, in the
eastern part Of the parish.
They completed their supply about
noon and started in wagon on the
road to the Glover plantation. s
They had gone about three miles and
were crossing Beaver creek bridge when
they were fired on from ambush. Joe
Tuggle was instantly Killed from a
double charge of buckshot and his body
was seen to secrete themselves near the

was also instantly killed, and dropped
over the side Of the wagon on the

parish. They tarried not, but went,

With Joe Tuggle dead it was hoped
the feud would end, as he was the
evil spirit Of the whole enterprise.
His brother Hamp, who killed Bill
Ramsey, made overtures to John Ram

treachery which had killed his brother
and would not make any promises.
John Ramsey Killed.
At the time Joe Clingman and Frank

Hamp Tuggle also received warning

Fight With II Leopard.

A striking illustration Of British cour-
age and logged persistence was given
by an officer in India named Apcher in
a fight with leopard. He was going
round a rock, following the beast,
which he had wounded, when the Loop
ard, meeting the hunter, dashed at him.
Apcher jumped to one side and fired;
the shot only staggered the leopard.
The man started to run, but before he
could turn round the beast was almost
upon him. 10
He struck the animal with the gun
as it was in the act of striking him,
and so warded off the blow from his
head. But the beasts claws from one
claw cut his right cheek, and the other
paw knocked the gun out of the Off
GERS hands. ..... -..s..-....
With all his strength the man dashed
his right hand into the beasts mouth,
and with the left grasped him around
the throat. The leopard caught him
near the elbow, and bit through the
forearm. Exerting all his strength,
Apcher threw the leopard into a rift
between the rocks and on it's back
With his knee on it's chest, one hand
in it's mouth, the other grasping it's
throat, he held the struggling animal
His native boy came up with a double
barrel gun. ~.
'Put it in the leopard's mouth and
fire." said Apcher.
The boy obeyed, pulled both triggers
and killed the beast. fortunately with.
out hitting the hand. The logged Off
| GERS left hand and arm were much in
jured; every finger Of the right hand
was lacerated, the hand bitten through
and the forearm bitten in five places.
