A Chapter on tho Sentiment of Mother
hood In tho Plant,

A Chapter on tho Sentiment of Mother
hood In tho Plant.
In his investigations Of the psychology
of the unconscious, DR.. David ALVIN
Gorton of Brooklyn notes the sentiment
Of motherhood in the plant though it
Is less strongly marked than in animals.
Many Towering species, he observes,
take special care of the seed in budding
time, in protecting it against rain and
frost, by wrapping their petals around
it or inclosing it by the hl& of their
corollas. This precaution is taken by
many plants at night to protect the
young and tender bud from the dew.
The inpatiens noli-me- tangcre hides
even its flowers under its leaves by
night. Many plants inclose their young
in horny cases, and these again in thorny
burs to preserve them against rapacious
birds and insects, and to assure their
coming to maturity Most ingenious of
all are some of the aquatic plants to Sc
cure the same end. Take, for example,
the alga species, the water lily, the
crowfoot, the water nut, etc, which
send their flowers to the surface of the
water for fertilization, and when it is
accomplished draw them TO the bottom
again.
This student of psychology in the
plant world discovers equal significance
IN certain phenomena among many diff
ferent species in respect to light, motto
ing with other illustrations the behavior
of the sunfiower, (which will almost
break its neck i'll its eagerness for the
sunshine, and tho common grapevine,
which will invariably Irvine toward the
light.
Wonderful again is the unfailing GER
tainty with which plants select their
food. They choose only that which is
good for them, even when environed by
poisonous substances in solution. Their
instinct of the whereabouts of water is
uherring. Sin one of my excursions to
the country one dry season." says DR..
Gorton, Il observed certain elm
which, in search for water, had sent
numberless rootlets several rods away to
ditch where there was running water.
When I saw that it had not sent rootlets
in any other direction for this purpose,
could not but wonder how that tree,
consisting to the outward sight of cellu-
lose, sap and chlorophyl only, without
rudiment of nerve cell or nerve sub
stance to hang an instinct or to affix
reflex impulse upon, knew the existence
and direction of stream of water -

KEEP YOUR EYE ON SILVER.

The New York Financial News ssys:
"Silver is the key to the situation. Its
decline or rise in price regulates the
price OF products-grsin, provisions,
cotton-in general way. This has
been true in every step OF the huctu.
atinR decline begun in 1873. One in
stance OF recent occurrence marks this
fact with much emphasis. On the sd-
]ournment OF the last Congress. after
repeating the silver purchase clause of
the Sherman law, 1t WAS necessary to
reverse the panioky tendency OF the
markets generally. and to show that
this Legislation had been In the direc-
tion Of restoration OF values. All that
wss necessary to affect q rise WAS to
move up the price of silver. Silver Is
the button to be pushed. The rest
follow. Silver WAS advanced several
pence per ounce. A refreshing boom in
prices of stocks, bonds, grain, cotton
and products and commodities generally
followed. The rise held and progressed
80 long as silver was manipulated up.

CLEVELAND AND TELLER.

The New York Herald says Presiden.
Cleveland will not bolt the Democratic
party or support third party ticket If
free silver man Is nominated for Pres
ident by the Chicago conventions; but
will support the Repu blican ticket, pro-
vided it come, out Gquhrely for sound
money. AS Grover has got about sll he
will ever receive from the Democrats Of
this country, any politicsl departure
that he may make will not surprise the
members OF the Old Guard that were
wont to rally around him in days gone
by. While Cleveland and the gold

platform, everything does not promise
smooth sailing for the Grand Old
Party" in the approaching campaign.
serious reyols is threatened in the
West and Senator Teller, of Colorado,
and hisfriends are already making prep
arations to bolt II the St. Louis conven
ton comes out strongly for gold. The
free silver States of the West would
then naturally drift away from Repub-
lican moorings, and as the Democratic
party, on silver basis, would be their
only hope, 1t follows, Of course, that
they would seek safety and success by
allying themselves with 1t during the
coming canvass at least. On the whole
then while Democracy may lose Grover
1t will gain Teller, and as the former is
an effete politician, while the lstter's
craftsmanship has been vindicated in
many ways, 1t follows as matter OF
course that the exchange 80 far as the
Democratic party is concerned would
be very much for the better.

THE COLOR LINE IN ST. LOUIS.

The business men of 81. Louis made

can national committee in order to
secure the national convention of that
party for their city; but 1t now appears
that they are not able to make them ali
good. The question offurnishing board
and lodging to the negro delegates,
mostly from the South, is the rock on
which all their good intentions are
threatening TO be wrecked. The coll
ored delegate to the national Republic.
can convention thinks he Is rs good as
any other man, and wants the same ac-
commodations that will be accorded his
white political brother. st. Louis is too
much OF q Southern city to submit to
such an innovation, and, consequently,
there is hitch. The members Of the
national committee cry shame on such
treatment to the colored man; but the
hotel keepers OF 1.-The Future Great"
contrary to what was promised OF them
q few days ago. obstinatelY refuse to ad-

thus the matter stands, as far as they

Boys and Ffrearma,

An accident which shows the danger
Of not teaching boys how to use firearms
Is reported in The American Field. Sew
enteen- year- James Groat of Omaha,
with three comrades, was hunting ducks
on the river. Not finding tho birds
plentiful, boy fashion, they thought
they would play about in the willow
blind. They laid their guns down and
began to skylark. All of IA sudden a
flock Of ducks was seen coming, and
there was rush to get tho guns.
If young Groat had been brought up
right, he would not have left his gun
cooked and loaded, he would not have
grasped it by the muzzle and pulled it
toward himself, the trigger would not
have caught in twig, and the lad
would not have been killed. The top of
his head was blown to pieces by the
whole charge Of shot entering lust
above the nose.
When n boy wants gun and is in n
place about which game is to be found,
and there are hunters to hunt it, the
boy is going to have it by hook or crook.
so the best way To do when lad shows
the symptoms is To- put him into the
hands of Ii good hunter and have him
taught what to do and what not to do,
especially what not to do and if good
gun, built by a trustworthy manufac-
turer, Is given to the would DO hunter.
there is no danger whatever. If this was
done III every instance with boys, there
would be no accidental killings. 1t is

THE Republican National Convention
will meet IN ST. Louis on the 10th OF
this month, and already there Is a
great rush of leaders to the Missouri
city. The people there have recovered
sufficiently from the effects Of the re-
cent tornado to complete their prepare"
tions for the reception of the Republi
can gathering, and everything points to
. great rush OF people to st. Louis in
the next four or five days; Mckinley
will in all probability be nominated Tor
President on the first ballot; but as to the
Vice-Presidency nothing SO far seems
to have been settled. Strong pressure
has been brought to bear on Speaker
Reed to accept the position, and
Mckinley and his friends, It is said,
would be only too glad IL such a combi-
nation could be effected. The Maine
man, however, seems to belong to
the julius Cesar class, who would
rather be first mSn of village than
the second man at Rome" and so falls
back on his native heath for comfort
and consolation in his failure to get the
nomination for President on the Repub-
lican ticket. There Ia considerable
talk Of Governor Morton in connection
with the Republican Vice.Presidentia
nomination; but it is by no means Ger
tain that he desires the position. Sem
ator Quay's recent call on the Ohio
Napoleon at Canton may eventually re.
suit in his nomination for Vice-Presi
dent; but IL Southern man OF the
requisite ability could be found the
Republican party might take its Vice
Presidential candidate from this Sec
ton.

New York, Nov. 6.-Riordan & Co. say of
cotton: The market to-day closed quiet
and steady at an improvement of few
points as compared with yesterdays clos
ing. Liverpool opened at a sharp decline,
in consequence, it is said, of cables from
New Orleans claiming that the crop Will
exceed 5000 900 bales 1t may be noted that
some heavy wagers have been offered here,
on behalf of New Orleans parties, that the
crop will he over g. 100000 bales. The heavy
receipts, together with these offers have
somewhat shaken the faith of the bulls in
small crop. But the interior receipts to-
day rather disappointed the bears, and
January, which had opened upon the de-
pressing Liverpool advices at 7.92c, rallied
to S03c and reacted, on realizing sales,
closing at 1884,. 99c. 1t is the simple truth
that nobody here knows whether the mar
ket win so up or go down, but it would be
very easy for anybody to tell who could
foresee how the receipts will run
New York, Nov. 6.-The Sun says of cot
ton: The Liverpool sales for the week
were 5000 bales, including 10000 American.
New Orleans declined 2 points, but recov-
cred the loss and advanced points Flu
lures here opened 2 to points lower, re-
covered the loss and advanced to points,
but reacted, closing quietand steady at
net advance of 2 to 3 points for the day,
with sales of ia, 600 bales. After opening
lower, in sympathy with decline in Liv-
erpool, prices rallied and advanced. The
interior movement, for the week showed
a material diminution and though many
commended that the falling off in the re-
ceipts was due to heavy rains at the south
during the week, some nervous shorts
covered, putting up prices. Reports of
heavy frost at Cairo, Montgomery, and
light frost at Vicksburg and Atlanta also
induced some buying. The southern spot
markets were generally firm with a fair
business doing. The quantity to come into
the sight was estimated at $4,000 to $780,,
600. Before the close part of the improve
ment was lost on realizing sales. The
trading was quiet and in the main of a
