A VEGETABLE COMPASS.

The compass plant grows in the
prairies of western North America
and as its name indicates, is of great
value to the wanderer. 1t is dwarf
variety of the osier, is perennial, at
tains usually a height of three feet
six inches and has a head of yellow
flowers.
The help it renders the traveller
arises from the fact that the long
leaves at the base of the stem, which
are placed, not fiat, as in plants gen
orally. but in a vertical position, pre-
sent their edges north and south.
The peculiar propensity of the foil
age of this plant is attributed to the
fact thtat both surfaces of its leaves
display an equal receptiyity for light,

When Nature is in one of her freak
ish moods she perpetrates many a
joke, sometimes on man, and some
times on his fourfooted servants, as
the fit takes her.
She has fairly surpassed herself,
however, in the case of a ram owned
by an American gentleman farmer,
by endowing the animal with an addi-
tional pair Of horns, perfect in every
way. The ram is now full grown, and
this is all the more remarkable, mas.
much as freaks of this kind seldom
live to grow up.
The rams parents were in no way
abnormal, nor is it expected that its
own offspring will differ from any
others of their kind. If it is not a case
of like father, like son." they will
nevertheless have a parent of whom
they may we'll be proud
Despite its double set of weapons
OF offense and defense, the ram does
not present a very formidable appear
ance. In fact, it wears a very sheep

Washington. Feb. 26-Because of re. ports of uneasiness in Central America growing out of important military activity In Nicaragua, the state de- pertinent has asked that one or mora naval vessels be sent to Amapala on the west coast to watch developments | and report, on the situation.

A. Great Meeting.

Florence Times. D.
 Tn these days when political cor ruption, debased high finance, and all sorts of crime seem to have reached high tide. in this country. the great meeting of the laymen of the Presby- teriah church in Birmingham possesses significance in the highest degree encouraging. This meeting. which closed last week. is said to have been the second largest convention ever as- sembled in Birmingham, and the spirit that prevailed made 1t second to none ever heidi in the south. It was a meet ing of business men. not preachers. and the enthusiasm with which they preached the doctrines of the gospel and illustrated their faith by their works indicates in 8 high degree the power behind the quiet but effective work of the church, which in it's last anatysis constitutes the highest type of enlightened civilization. It was a missionary conference to work along the lines of the altruIsm. the essence of the Christian religion. In this meeting three hundred business men stood up and promised their sons to thes service of the Lord for mls- sionariss if they are so cailed:" and at stthe last session of the meeting. on Thursday night. $60,0 were given to be used for the equipment of foreign missionaries. It was a great meeting It was an inspiration to every lover Of his race.

House Summary.

Washington, Feb. 2S-After having dragged along for q week. the sundry civil appropriation bill. carrying in the aggregate $1s7.0oo,o0o. was passed by the House tonight with numerous ma- terial amendments.
 The debate on the measure at times waxed warm. This was especially SO when Messrs. Bartlett. tGeorgIa), and Hitchcock. tNebraska). offered amend ments which, had they been adopted would have forced the Attorney Gen. eral to prosecute the United States Steel Corporation for absorbing the Tennessee. Coal and Iron Company, up- on the ground that the merger was in violation of the antitrust law. -
 A rule brought in by Mir. Dalzell. (Pennsyivaniat. making 1t in order for a majority to pass bill under suspen- sion of tho rules. instead of two-thirds aroused the Democrats under the lead ership of Mir. Williams. Mississippi. to the, point of severe criticism of the Appropriation Committee in not afford. ing, as was charged. more time to study supply bills before they were taken up. This led to a incipient fili- buster. in requiring several roll calls before the way was cleared for other business.
 Earlier in the day resolution was adopted appointing a committee of five to report whether or not the remarks of Mir. Cook, of Colorado. delivered yes terday. attacking the President. should be expunged from the Record.

 And there was Mary, with the sole prosecuting witness removed by death, In the eyes of the law a confession is not sufficient evidence on which to con- vict alone. There must be proof of the commission of crime of which confess sion is made. And as there could be no proof that the clothes were stolen. now that Jane was dead, Mary could not be convicted. in spite of her confession. And so the case was mol pressed, upon motion of Solicitor Stern, and Marx Brown is stiu wondering how it hap pened.
