HOW HE ENTERED POLITICS.

Senator Harris Obstinacy Helped to Launch
 Him In Public Life.
 How Senator Harris came to enter pol litical life is related as follows: It happen ed away back in 1847. In one of the state senatorial districts in Tennessee two Dem ocrats were in the field, while the Wings were united upon one candidate. This meant the defeat of both Democrats unless one of them would withdraw. A crowd of gray headed Democrats waited upon MT. Harris.
 If you will announce yourself as can didate," said they, "it will force conyen- tion or primary, one man will be named, and split in the party will be averted.
 Into the fight went MT. Harris. He appealed to the rival candidates to draw straws, pitch heads or tails, have prima. ry do anything that would leave the field open to one or the other. They would not do 1t. A meeting was held. MT. Harris took one candidate by the hand, led him to the front of the platform and said, "If you will withdraw will"
 "No," said the determined aspirant
 MT. Harris took tho other man, brought him into the view of the people and made the same proposition to him. He also re- fused.
 All the obstinacy of MT Harris' nature was aroused. 'Then will stay in my self" said be- "and will beat all three of you-two Democrats and one Whig" 2
 And he did it. He had majority of $50 votes, the largest over boiled in that district While he was in the legislature the state convention was held, and he was made a presidential elector. q
 This was the beginning of all my woes," says MT. Harris, flor then was led irretrievably into political life. "-La Washington Post. [

Curious Plant Propagation.

Some very curious processes for propa- gation are praoticed at the public gardens One consists in cutting with knife a ring around branch of plant. One might imagine that the intention was to kill the branch, but such is by no means the object in view, The cut having been made, piece of wet moss Is wrapped and tied around the branch at that point. Be- heath this protection the sap exudes from the wound, and little rootlets are develop ed. After few days the branch Is cut away from the parent stem, being then itself a complete plant, with roots, all ready to put in pot This plan is adopt ed with plants of slow growth, because one plant may thus be split up into half dozen or more of good size, instead of waiting for a seedling or little slip to devel- op. A modification of tho same process consists in placing small potful of earth around the cut place on tho branch, fastening it in position. When roots have developed, the branch is cut off just below the pot, and new plant is produced. If the gardener chooses to take the trouble, he can make a separate plant out of every bud on Q tree. In fact an eminent bota- hist has sai' hat every tree is village, each bud b6-hg an individual Washing ton Stnr

A City Accomplishment.

Two gentlemen were walking along Sixth street when large flake of soot fell upon the nose of one of them. The other called his attention to it and was about to wipe 1t off with his handkerchief when a vigorous protest was made. Don't do that, he said. You will leave a black stroak. Watch me get rid of it. He waved his proboscis to and fro in the air, and pretty soon a gentle breeze waited the ob. jectionable bit of soot from it's resting place far away. Not a mark was left to tell the story, so lightly had it rested on the ridge of the nose. T learned that trick at school, said the gentleman as the other laughed. You know that boys do not always happen to carry handkerchiefs at school and so have to fall back on other resources in such cases. Besides it saves the unnecessary soiling of your handker- chief. There is nothing like knowing what is the right thing to do in the right place. .'-Cincinnati Times-Star

A Clever Thief.

Two ladies on entering house in Bel. gravia to attend an afternoon party were accosted bya well dressed gentleman, who said, 1T presume you are going to Lady C----'sp" and they went in together. Al though the lady of the house did not rec ognize the gentleman, she concluded that he had been duly invited, as he accom- panied her friends.
 After handsome silver service bad been placed upon the table the hostess was called out of tho room for few min- utes, and during her absence the gentle man said to the company:
 'I'll play trick upon my aunt" and at tho same time proceeded to fill his pockets with silver spoons, cream jug, sugar basin, etc.. and hastily left the apartment.
 Shortly afterward Lady C. returned and said, with some surprise, II thought tho servant had brought in all the tea service?"

An extraordinary event led Lassone,
 physician to Louis XVI of France, to abandon his anatomical studies. While selecting from among some dead bodiesae. suitable subject for dissection he imagindd that one of them showed doubtful signs of death and sought to revive a7ife which was perhaps not extinguished. His efforts were crowned with success.

St. Patrick.

St. Patrick is commonly stated to have died at Saul on the 17th of March, 498, in the one hundred and twenty first year of his age. The shamrock, or small white clover, is almost universally worn in the hat all over Ireland on St. Patrick's day. The popular notion is that when St. Pat rick was preaching the doctrine of the Trinity to the pagan Irish he used this plant, bearing three leaves upon one stem, as symbol or illustration of tho great mystery. y.-Chambers' Book of Days.

He assembled to the platform aud read
the following amid considerable confu-
