Resistance would have been folly, and the officer gave up his sword, with the understanding that his men should be treated as prioners of war.

Chicago, Il, March 6.—A special to the Herald from Detroit says: “The action of General Alger in op posivg Palmer's cabinet aspirations has excited a great deal of comment in Michigan. In legislature Monday night a discussion arose over the matter, and it finally became so wart that a picture of the gener al hanging on the wall was taken down without objection from any one. Some politicians went so far as to say that Alger’s action had killed him politically in the state. The same comment was made co.- cerning Senator Stockbridge, who favored Rusk for secretary of agri- culture.” the The sale of a tract of land in Blue Mound township, Vernon county,con- taining 4,000 acres along the banks of the Osage river has just been con- summated. The land was known as the Cresap ranch, and was purchas- ed by F. S. Rowlan of Kansas City, at a cost of $80,000 in cash. The present owner will convert the ranch into a horse ranch.

You remember that Bishop Heber wrote it while in Ceylon in 1824. About a year later it reached Amer and a lady in Charleston, 8. C., was struck with its beauty. She could find, however, no tune that seemed to suit her. She re- membered a young bank clerk, Lowell Mason, afterwards so celebrated, who was just a few steps down the street, and who had a reputation as a musical genius. So she sent her son to ask him to write a tune that would go with the hymn. In just half an hour the boy came back with the music, and the melody dashed off in such haste is to this gay sung with that song.” —Cincinnadi Star.

The cocoanut is, in many respects, like the human skull, although it closely resembles the skull of the monkey. A sponge may be so held as to remind one of the unfleshed face of the skeleton, and the meat of an Eng- lish walnut is almost the exact repre- sentation of the brain. Plums and bla cherries resemble] the human eyes: almonds and some other nuts re- semble the different varieties of the human nose, and an opened oyster and its shell are a perfect image of the hu- man ear. The shape of almost any man’s body may be found in the vari- ous kinds of mammoth pumpkins. The open hand may be discerned in the form assumed by scrub-willows and growing celery.
