To Protect the Flowers.

Edelweiss and other characteristic
Swiss flowers are said to be in dam
ger of total extinction because of the
craze of tourists for collecting them.
Women tourists especially are always
anxious to take away souvenirs in
the way of a plant, and do not simply
pull the flowers, but dig up the plant.
1t is proposed to introduce law that
will prevent the buying, selling or dig
ging of edelweiss, fire lily, Siberian
spring crocus, Alpine columbine, the
Daphne, Alpine violet or other ma
tional flowers.

In reply to a letter written by Mr..
Seward to the American minister at
London. Earl Russell sent dispatch
to the British minister at Washington,
in which he said: From the moment
that intelligence first reached this
country that nine states and several
millions Of inhabitants of the great
American Union had seeded, and had
made war on the government Of Pres
ident Lincoln, down to the present
time, her majesty's government have
pursued a friendly, open and consist
ent course. They have been neutral
between the two parties to civil war.
AT this moment they have nothing
more at heart than to see the consum-
nation of which the president speaks
in his answer to the governors of
eighteen states, namely, the bringing
of this unnecessary and injurious war
to a speedy and satisfactory conclu-
sion."
There was q skirmish near Bayou
Barnard, in the Cherokee Nation, In
which the Union forces were reported
victorious. Colonel Guitar OF the

fort to get into the finest condition
for this game as it will mean the
championship of southeastern Iowa
for the local school IL they sin. The
record of three consecutive wins has
been the means of restoring the con-

they anticipate no trouble In dispos-

to play the last game of the season

game should be warm one Burling-
ton, which had an admirable record up
to month ago, has now suffered four
straight defeats, while Keokuk has
just completed defeating the fast
Quincy and Hannibal teams, which are
the strongest in their respective sec

while on last Saturday night they de-
feated TT. ADDISON at the Gate City by

other two defeats were inexeusahle
