At a recent meeting Of the Academy
Of Sciences in Paris. Mr.. G.. BONNER
presented a note concerning some very
interesting experiments in grating
plants, the results OF which contradict
ed the generally accepted opinion that
only plants belonging to the same boz
tanical family can be successfully
grated upon one another. Mr.. Bon
nier showed that recently plants OF en-
tirely different families had been
grated with success. for example, the
maple upon the lilac. the k~idney-bean
upon the castor-oil bean, and the cab.
bage upon the tomato.

A CURIOUS STORY.
The Beautiful Girl Who Celebrated
Mass.

Extraordinary excitement prevails
in Leghorn and the adjacent provinces
over the reported marvellous appear
ance Of the Blessed Virgin. In small
village a few miles from Leshorn,
young woman, marvelously beautiful,
called on the cure and requested him TO
allow ter to celebrate mass. Naturally
so the report continues, the cure pc
lieved that he had to deal with de-
ranged woman, but, in order not to eI-
cite her, he gently explained that the
sacred books prohibited the celebration
Of mass by a woman.
The beautiful stranger insisted, and
finally the cure called in gendarnes
and requested them to convey q = 10
an asylum. but the young woman spoke
to the gendarnaes in such eloquent
terms that they joined her in begging
the cure to give the requisite peTmls-
sion. Then the cure fell beneath the
spell, had the altar prepared, and he
himself acted as assistant to the iI.c-
gal celebrant. AS soon as the mass was
completed the stranger raised her arms
toward heaven and cried: Now God.
thou wilt not destroy the world. Then
the little church was flooded with caz-
zling light, in which the young woman
disappeared. Nobody in the district
doubts the story, and all are convinced
that the apparition was none other
than the Blessed Virgin herself. The
cure himself is absolutely convinced,
and has informed the Bishop, who IS
making Investigations. The visitation
is associated in the popular mind with
the recent earthquakes and reteors.
Fearing reactionary intrigues the Gov
ernment thought it advisable to re-en-
force the gendarmerie and prohibit
public neetings.-Rcme Cor. n. Y. Sun.

Died Of Smallpox.

Baegagema>ter Morse of the Southern
railway, who was found 10 boar .ln Z
house out on Laurel street early last
week with a genuine case Of smallpox,
is dead. He passed away at the pest
house at I o'clock Thursday morDlsg,
aud that night the remalns, all sanitary
precautions being taken, were inferred
not far from the spot where the mau
died. Later on they may be removed,
after all danger is gone. The man evi-
dently contracted somewhere on his
travels more malignant form Of the
disease than has been prevalent in this
State. He had been vaccinated, but
the vaccination did not take" aOd
he did not try second time. When
the case was first discovered the house
was euaran,ined and all who had been
about the place were vaccinated. SIX
days before bis death the patient was
removed to the pest house, ou; Of 'hc
city, and the boarding house was thor
oughly disinfec'cd. So complete was
the work of the board Of health that n,
other case developed. At the pest
house the patient was placed in charge
of n immune nurse and attendant, and
every attention vas given the unfor,
tunate man, but without avail.
The case seemed to be of the
variety described as prevalent in New
Orleans, and was probably contracted
from contact on the train with some ore
from that section columbia State.

charged with conspiracy to kill Goebel.
Golden told story Of the events lead

An Honest Admission.

The Charleston Post says "a
New Yorker who has just re-
turned from a visit to Mexico
says that many Americans are
making fortunes out of the
mines throughout the republic.
Already there are 5000 silver
mines and over 1000 gold mines
being operated, and last
year the value of these metals
exported was nearly 40,00O,000.
In no other country in the
world are cotton mills paying
such dividends on the capital in
vested as those in Mexico, and
new manufacturing plants of
every description are going up
all over the republic. It has a
good future, and in developing
itself it is benefting the business
men of the United States. The
importation of machinery from
this country in the last year
amounted to over $6,000.000"
This is a most remarkable state
ment to be published by a, gold
bug paper about a silver '<de-
based" country as the Post, no
doubt, has declared Mexico to be
more than once in discussing the
fine silver issue. AS the Post
publishes the paragraph with
out comment we presume it &C
cepts the statements it contains
as true. eff in no other country
in the world are cotton mills
paying such dividends on the
capital invested as those in
Mexico, and new manufacturing
plants of every description are
going up all over the republic" Z"
what becomes of the POSTS
argument against free silver?
Mexico is a free silver country
and if she prospers so under it,
why should free silver ruin the
United States, as the Post has
proclaimed time an again it
would? Is a small republic like
Mexico more capable of manag-
ing it's own finances than agreat
republic like the United States?
Why do the cotton mills Of free
silver Mexico pay larger divi-
dends than the cotton mills
of the gold standard United
States? Will the learned editor
of the Post, who refrained from
demolishilg Bryan's arguments
only because they contained
nothing to demolish, enlighten
poor benighted silverite on the
above questions? The fact that
Mexico is so prosperous with a
"debased" money standard is
one of the causes of our being
one of the "deluded" believers
in the free and unlimited coin
age of silver in the United
States. Will the Post give US
light:

The Law Sustained.

The Atlanta Journal says the
contention that the several states
cannot devise anyway of dealing
effectively with the trusts is COM
pletely smashed by the recent
decision Of the Uuited States su-
preme court which sustains the
Texas antitrust law, one of the
most extreme statutes of the
kind that has been enacted. The
point decided is that a state has
the right to prescribe conditions
on which foreign corporation
may do business within its linn
it's, and that it may withdraw
the permit to do business when
such corporation violates the
conditions on which the permit
was granted. The offender in
this case was a concern which
had by grant from the Standard
Oil company monopoly of the
oil business in Texas. Justice
McKenna, who delivered the
opinion of the court, said:
"The transactions of local COM
merce which were held by the
state courts to be violations of
statutes consisted in contracts
with certain merchants bywhich
the plaintiff in error required
them to buy of it, exclusively
from it and from no other source
or to buy exclusively from
plaintiff in error and not to sell
to any person handling compet-
ing oils, or to buy exclusively
from plaintiff in error and to
sell at a price fixed by it,
These acts were clearly in vlo-
lation of the statutes, and the
question, therefore was whether
the statutes were constitutional.
The court decided that they
were. Itsaid:
"The statute of 1889 was
condition on the plaintiff in er-
ror within the power of the state
to impose, and, whatever its
limitations were upon the power
of contracting, whatever it's dis
ordinations were, they became
conditions of the permit, and
We're accepted with it,
The court went still further
and decided that the permit to
do business was not protected by
the 14th amendment, inasmuch
as it was issued by the state
subject to the right to withdraw
it if the company violated the
laws, and was accepted by the
company with that understand
ing This is as clear as can be.
If Texas can regulate and re-
strict the operation of trusts
within its limits any other state
can doso. Why do they not all do
so? Such enactments in all the
states would go very far toward
curtailing the power of the
trusts and protecting the public
from their greed and extortion.
