Plants IN n Trance.

A curious exhibit Is in the Mechanics
fair. 1t is nothing more on less than Il
display OF 'lnumni.icd" plants. 1t re-
quircs a label to inform the people that
they are dead, for tie plants appear eX-
actly as if alive ana lowing. They arc
not made of wax on of cloth, Lut are
genuine plants that have grown in the
earth until they have reached a good
state of development, when, by their
being treated to Il certain injection, the
growth is arrested. Then comes the
strange part, for the plants so treated
do not droop and die. Tie leaves re-
main fresh and bright, and tie Plant
stands erect. 1t is. moreover, imper-
vious to heat and cold, and nothing
seems able to destroy its strange rcpose.
The most striking part Of the exhibit
is collection OF large palms used for
decorating. These plants are noted for
being very tender and susceptible to al
most every influence. These CT exhibi-
ton have been dead for six months, yet
not even when the leaves ae carefully
examined would the fact be suspected.
The exhibit promises TO create much i'll
tercst among visitors to the fair, as the
many advantages Of having plants thus
impervious 10 all conditions can be
readily seen. The credit for providing
the exhibit belongs to New Hampshire
man, who discovered the process of
treating the plants. Boston Transcript.

Eighteen Hundred Years After Death.

When the pick used by the excayator
at Pompeii gives forth a hollow sound
when striking the great bed of lava,
care is Immediately taken to open the
cavity that is known to be near. Into
this cavity liquid plaster of paris is
poured. The cavity serves as mold, and
the plaster soon hardens. When the lava
has been removed, the statue obtained
usually proves to be that of woman
or man in the agonizing convulslons OF
death, the limbs contorted and the fea-
trres drawn out of shape just as they
were when the person was oyertaken by

his State to support for a moment
Disturber Russell and his party of
'savages."
Capt. Day is now telling his friends
that the State must be kept out of the
hands of Russell and his gang, who
would destroy our very civilization.
1t is understood that Capt. Day will
support the State ticket, and fight

Thomas Bragg, one time respected
Governor of North Carolina, was At
torney General in the cabinet of Pres

wiser of the Confederate States of
America. His public services and

North Carolinian, and all who knew
the late Governor and Attorney Gen
eral have stopped to gaze and admire,
and have remarked upon the striking
likeness that the artist had limned
on the canvas.
And in the veins of the talented
young artist who executed the por-
trait there flows the blood of this emf

drawn by Miss Fannie E. Heartt,
daughter of Capt. and Mrs. c. ID.
