ACRoBATIC PLANTS.
Species of Watercress Turns Somer- saults and Animal Oats" Crawl.


 saults and Animal Oats" Crawl. London Times.
 One species of watercress possesses the power of locomotion, changing it's place on river bank by leaps and bounds, | says The Golden Penny. From the stems | of the cress grow root-like flores which, when of sufficient length, drop to the | bottom of the water and there take root. The plant gradually settles upon it's new footing and the strength of the new flores Is such that the old ones lose their hold and the tuft of cress performs | away. fresh ones are developed and the cress dances merrily on its way. There Is species of bearded oat which will separate itself from the glum or husk. This is no new discovery. Linnaeus the great Swedish botanist, in the course | of journey of scientific exploration in Dalecarlia, province of his native coun- try, records the interesting fact that he found the Dalecarltans taking full advan- tage of this valuable quality in their oats. After being duly reaped the crop was left to its own devices in the barns until such times as the husks emptied them selves. The spiral beard is contracted or extended according 70 the amount of moisture in the atmosphere, and when the beard contracts 1t drags the oat along with 1t; when 1t expands the oat does not go back to its original position, the roughness of the beard the contrary way preventing it.
 Another species of bearded oat. the Avena Sterilis, has earned for itself the name of Animal Oat," from the eccen- tric fashion in which 1t crawls backward and forward when ripe and when falling from the husk propelling itself by the twisting and untwisting of the beard. A seed of this oat is sometimes used in- stead of an artificial fly for trout fish ing.
 A still more startling effect is produced by the stin black down on the seed of the Centaurea Crupina, a plant of the corn-fiower species, found wild in Italy. If one of these seeds be placed between the foot and the stocking it will in a short time travel over the body and creep out at the sleeve or neckband. The name Cupina Is derived from a Dutch word signifying to creep.
 Many plants have the power of motion, though not of locomotion. The Sensitive Plant, which goes to sleep at a touch, Is we'll known. A plant of a similar ge- nus, the Hedysarum Gyrans. is found on the shores of the Ganges. It Is a bien- nial shrubby plant, bearing long spikes of parti-colored flowers, and its leaves, spontaneous motion. Both will move to- gether from pendant to an erect posi- ton, or the reverse. with considerable rapidity, or one will move by starts while the other Is stationary. This movement does not take place in an the leaves of one plant or one branch at one time. It is apparently devoid of uniformity, regu- larity or sympathy It is likewise inde- pendent of all external stimulation eX- cept that it requires a warm. close at mosphere.

A Joke on a Bishop.

pr. Edward King. the venerated and saintly bishop of Lincoln in England, ie now much advanced in years and some what infirm. Recently he has been visit ing Bournemouth for his health, and T P. O'Conner in his M. A. P. tells the following story of the venerable prelate s visit to that seaside health resort: After resting for some time one afternoon on a seat on the parade the bishop desired to move but, owing to his age and inf1r- mites. found some difficulty in rising. A kind hearted little girl of the town noticed his trouble and ran up, saying, "Oh, let me help you"
 The good bishop beamed upon the child with one of his sweetest smiles. and the smile of the bishop Is very sweet .in- deed. "You are dear little maiden, he said, iy"but I do not think you are strong enough"
 why, bless you, sir" was the reply, "I've often helped up daddy when he was a sight worse drunk than you are!''

Alma-Tadema.

St. Laurence Alma-Tadema, who eel ebrated his 66th birthday recently, is the third artist from Holland who has been honored by an English knighthood. The others were Rubens and Vandyke. Sir Laurence, who has a keen sense of hu- nor, Is fond of telling a story bearing on his knighthood. Shortly after he re- ceived the honor he and Lady Alma-Ta- dema gave an 'at home" Everybody present was congratulating them, and one lady was very profuse. "Oh, dear Sir Laurence" she said. T am awfully glad to hear of the honor you have re- ceived. 1 suppose now that you are knighted you will give up painting and live like a gentleman"

Col. George Johnstone was on his
native heath, and the reception &C
corded him b. Sne people among
whom he has lived and worked and
who know MIN best was cordial and
genuine and heartfelt. HIS speech
was one of his best efforts and was
gem of oratory. AS he said in the
opening of his address, there was no
need for him to state his position to
the people of Newberry, no need for
him to. tell these Southern people
where he stood on questions affecting
the interests and the prosperity of
the South. There was deep feeling.
feeling fully shared by his close
listeners, in the ringing eloquence of
his words as he reviewed many of the

ten interrupted by the applause OF
old comrades, who had been by
his side in the efforts of which he
told, to free NeWberry County and
South Carolina from the heel of the
despot, and negro and csrpet-bag
government.
Some applause was received by
Hemphill, Henderson, Evans and
Latimer, but it was scattering, and
was several times drowned by hurrahs
for Jchnstone.
The speeches were free from per-
sonalities and were in the main
pitched upon high plane. In fact
all six of the gentlemen aspiring to
the Senate are brainy men and
proved it on Tuesday.
1he meeting was orderly through
ont. Several times the speakers were
interrupted by some one in the au-
dience, but general good feeling pre-
vailed.
Chairman Goggans presided in the
usual fair and happy manner.
At night the candidates for Con-
