Manner Talks.

"Rob." said Horace Greeley to tho Hon.
Richelieu Robinson, ~ always knew you
were 2 fool, but now l will bet g. on it and
stake the money" A wager offered with
any less positive sincerity than Mr. Greeley's
leaves its author without standing before

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1893-03-29
The oldest Citv In the United States.

It is claimed that Tucson, A. L., is the
oldest city in the United States and not ST.
Augustine, Fla, which was founded in
1865. An old Spanish land grant has been
nnearthed near Tucson which bears the
date 1853 and conveys TO the founders OF
the city certain parcel of land in the neigh
borhood.

BASEBALL.
The Stringtown Nine Ready
 for the Contest.
The Game will Take Place in Phoe- nix if the Expenses of Both
 Clubs Are Guaranteed.

The Stringtown boys of the south- side will be down today with forfeit money for the match with the Tucson baseball club. Lee Dunn, manager of the stringtown nine, says the game will be played some time near the first of August. The original challenge was to play early in September, but it seems the Tucson boys are in haste to have the game at an early date. The String town boys are nearly all working at present in the hay harvest and are Tn poor training for an immediate game but say their challenge of $500 means to any club in the territory
 The game will be played in Phenix if sufficient guarantee is given for the expenses of both the visiting clu bs during the three days meet, otherwise they will play at Tucson.
 None but local players will be al- lowed to take part in the game between the Stringtown and Tucson. Lists of fourteen players from either port will be exchanged and all importations will be ruled out. The betting money (and there is plenty of it) will be placed on the home nine and no one from the out side need fear but that he can get action on his money in quantities to suit the widest speculators.

TEMPE ECHOES.

Charlie Starr, of the Gregory house, went to Phoenix yesterday morning and returned by the evening train.
 P.B. McCabe went out on Sunday night on business trip to Sentinel and will take in Tucson before returning.
 Work at the cactus factory progresses steadily and the machinery. will soon all be in place to begin the manufac, ture of furniture.
 Mrs. R. c. Andre and her little daughter Helma went to PheniN yes- terday and took the excursion train from that place for the coast.
 Lon Forsee, Charlie Taylor, Boone Lewis and family and Jim Goodwin were among the number who went out from Tempe last evening for the coast.
 Quite a heavy shipment of grapes goes out each evening from this point to Denver, Pueblo and points on the Southern Pacific. The fruit OH the South Side this year is almost perfect in quality, while the yield is heavy.
 Eight members of the Tempe Gun club were out shooting yesterday evening.
 
 cratic in the manner in which they discharge the birds, and the boys are not very well on to shooting from un- known traps.
 One of the militia boys created sen sation of short duration in Sonora town Sunday evening, but superior numbers prevailed and the gallant little soldier returned to town minus a bayonet. Several of his Yagui and Mexican as- sailants were punctnred in the atfray. A Mexican woman who has acted rather singular for the past week was taken into custody Sunday and sent to Phoenix yesterday. She has for some time been sleeping Tn the wagon road near Hayden's mill and spent the day usually begging. She talks principally about restaurants and swimming baths, both institutions of which she evidently has but little knowledge.

 daceous Plants.
 These plants possess a special inter est, inasmuch as they present us with what is one of the earliest and most rudimentary kind of flower. Like all the lower kinds of towering plants they bear two sorts, the so-called male and female flowers. Now when one of these flowers are examined, says Long mans Magazine, one might well feel surprised, if unprepared for what pre- sents itself Both kinds are, as might be expected, of the simplest form, the male flower consisting merely of sta mems bearing pollen sacs.
 When one of these stamens is in- spected 1t is SC en to be but an ordinary leaf modified; nay, more, the pollen sacs (born on the back surface like the ''fern seed" on the fern leaf are obvi- ously but the little spore cases of the cryptogams; yet, further, we open one of them, and the pollen grains themselves proves to be but the little spores of the lower plants. The whole flower is, in fact, nothing but the modified spore-bearing leaf of the higher crypto- grams. The female flowers on close examination prove similarly to be but spore-bearing leaves also modified, though Tn different direction. What, then, has happened? Very little, in point of fact, though much in point of significance. The spore which pro duced the little plant requiring fer tilization (which latter We observed growing smaller and smaller) simply now no longer falls off, but remains at tached to the parent leaf and awaits the pollen that is carried to it by the wind; all that previously took place in the marsh below now takes place in situ in the production of the seed. That is the whole plan in brief.
 The great end which nature accom- plished when she evolved the first flowers was simply to enable cross-fer- tilization to take place without the aid of water. This was the feat which revolutionized the vegetable world. The Towering plants were at last and henceforth independent of aquatic con- ditions; they took full possession of the
