The new census of London, shoeing the population to be 4,704,312 souls, has drawn out from Land, the English journal, some striking contrasts. “There are,” it says, “in London more than" double the number of people in Den mark, including Greenland; nearly three times as many as in Greece; more than eighteen times the population of Monte negro; some thousands more than Portu gal, including the Azores and Maderia; nearly treble the population of Servia; more than double that of Bulgaria; three-quarters of a million more than in Holland; more than Sweden, or Norway, or Switzerland.” “Aud yet,” adds the same paper “this splendid capital, the most populous and wealthy city the world has ever seen, is practically with out a government. ” Plant Growth Viewed as to Time. Plants are arranged in three groups as to their period of existence, namely: Annual, biennial, perennial; that is, whether they live for one, two, or more thantwoyqpß. The natural beginningof a e 1-bearingplant is tbegrowth from the seed, or germination. The early life of all plants in the three groups is very much the same. It is an enlarge ment of the embryo, or young plantlet, that was formed in the seed before it was separated from the mother plant. This first growth is at the expense of food that was packed away with the embryo, either within or around its thickened seed leaves, and both the plant and the food that is to nourish its first growth are surrounded by protective coverings, called the seed coats. Germi nation, though a complicated chemico vital process, is in essence the forc ing of the young plant from its sur rounding coverings and the establish ment of itself in the soil and the sunshine. This is a process that is common to all plants that grow from seeds. The be ginningof an independent existence is the formation of a seed, and with the seeds the cycle is completed. The aim of every plant is the multiplication and perj etnation of its kind, and as the seed is the common form in which plant units are cast oft, it is clear that in the formation of seed we have the end toward which vegetation tends. In the annual plant the whole round of life is completed in a single year; ft germ nates, develops its system of roots, stems and leaves, produces its flowers and perfects its offspring—the seed, all within the compass of a single year. With this work done the old plant dies. In the 1 iennial the method is somewhat different. The first year is devoted to the work of accumulating material out of which the plant makes its seeds the following year. Compared with the annual there is an unusual de velopment of roots and foliage, and to ward the end of summer, a storing up of a large amount of concentrated food in some part of the plant. Contrast the barley plant with its short life of a few months, and simple straightforwardness in all its processes, with the carrot, turnip or beet, which has a large root system and many leaves, for the first year, and an accumulation of starch, sugar, etc., in the main root, at the end of the season. No seeds have been formed, and the end of the plant's exist ence has not been reached. The next season the fleshy root sends up a lower stem, and the store of organic matter, starch, etc., that was made the previous season is used up in the formation and perfecting a large number of seeds. The original plant loses its life in the production of many offspring or seeds. In the third class is included all of our trees and shrubs, and a vast number of herbs that are known by the general term of perennials. They grow on from year to year, and in most eases have no definite time in which to com plete the cycle. The first year of the young tree, maple or oak, is materially diherent trom that of the annual oats or biennial beet; its time for getting ready for the production of seed is lengthened out through several years. After the time for the bearing of offspring has come, centuries may pass before death ensues, in each year of with h, if condi tions are favorable, seeds may be formed. The process may be so slow that more than a single season is re quired for the growth and perfection of it, seed.— American Agriculturist. —The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts is said to own the finest collection of costumes in the United States. DALTON, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21. 1882. Thd Mohey-Crtler Systeni. The Superintendent of the Money- Order Division of the Post-office Depart ment sent out on Saturday an order that hereafter, when a money -order has re mained sixty days in a post-office with-* out payment being demanded, the post* blaster shall send a private notice to the payee; if his address is knoWn, inform ing him of the fact arid giving the namd and address of the remitter. Thepavee is requested by the circular to present the corresponding order for payment, if it is in his possession; or, if it has not been received, to obtain it, if practica ble, from, the remitter, and, in the event Os its loss in transit or otherwise, to sug gest to the remitter that he make appfl-* cation for a duplicate. This circular is a new departure in the policy of the Money-Order Division, and is one that ought to have been made years ago. Had it been adopted on the start, there would not now be in the Treasury to the credit of the money order systeni the great sum of over a million and a quarter of dollars, the ac cretion of money-orders remaining un paid. Not a dollar of this fund belongs to the Government. It belongs to peo ple who paid for orders, which, largely through the defects of the postal sys tem, did not reach the persons to whom they were sent. It may safely be said that nine-tenths of this sum could have been made to reach the payees, or could have been returned to the remitters, had not a policy of concealment been adopt ed. Instead of seeking earnestly either to pay the money to the payees or re turn it to the remitters, a rule was adopted forbidding a postmaster, under penalty of dismissal, to furnish the very information now ordered to be given by the new circular. If the department is content with the present step, it will fail to do all that it should do to stop such a wrongful deten tion of the people’s money. It is evi dent that the payee of an unpaid order may be out of reach after sixty daj s, and so may never receive his notice. In such a case, after the lapse of another thirty days, the remitter should be no tified that the money he has deposited remains unpaid. As of course the payee has the first claim to payment, it would be necessary to provide that some set time—perhaps six months ad ditional—should elapse before a repay ment was made to the remitter. Nor should the effort to be honest stop here. Every means should be taken by publication of lists and otherwise faith fully to disburse the fund now on band before passing a law to cover it into the Treasury. In every other respect the money-order system is a model of pre cision and effectiveness, and even in the matter of this lapsed order fund it is probably less at fault than any other sys tem in the world, and the step it has now taken is one in advance of most other systems. But nothing can be said in favor of covering such a fund into the Treasury until every means has been exhausted to find the real owners cf it.— W ashington Cor. N. F. Evening Post. Stick to the Broomstick. Did you ever see a woman throw a stone at a hen? It is one of the most ludicrous scenes in every-day life. We recently observed the process—indeed we paid more attention than the hen did. for she did not mind it at all and laid an egg the next day as if nothing had happened. In fact, that hen will now know for the first time that she served in the capacity of a target. The predatory fowl had invaded the pre cincts of the flower bed, and was in dustriously pecking and scratching foi the nutritous seed or the early worm, blissfully unconscious of impending danger. The lady now appeared upon the scene with a broom. T his she drops and picks up a rocky fragment of the Silurian age, then makes her first mis take—they all do it—of seizing the pro jectile with the wrong hand. T hen, with malice aforethought, she makes the further blunder of swinging her arms perpendicularly instead of horizontally —thereupon the stone flies through the air, describing an irregular elliptical curve, and strikes the surface of the earth as far from the hen as the thrower stood at the time, in a course due west from the same, the hen then bearing by the compass north-north-east by half cast. At the second attempt the. stone narrow ly missed the head of the thrower her self, who, seeing any further attempt would be suicidal, did what she might have done first, started after the hen •with an old and familiar weapon. The moral of which is: Stick to the broom stick. — Providenee He raid. A Frightful Leap. The other night a passenger changing cars at Harper’s Ferry was leaning against the railing on the river side, when a train came along, and, fearing he might not be safe, he sprang lightly over the railing, having mistaken the river, as he afterward stated, for a meadow. His stunning amazement may be better imagined than described when, after a fall of thirty or forty feet, he sank in ten feet of muddy, swiit running water. He, however, had suffi cient presence of mind to keep his head above water, and was carried down to the bridge, where he drifted against a pier, and, climbing to a ledge, cal’cd for help. When he was rescued he re fused to tell anything about himself. Fortunately, the river was high, as gen erally the spot where he fell is bare, and had it been so then he would have been killed. ■—A writer in Ysletta.

In the wilds of Kerry Patch, upon the rickety door of a little cabin, is marked this legend: : Corns 1 t wasfiin • ; i done here. iiiill Tho Town Talker dods riot often get within the metes and bounds of tnd Kingdom of Kerry, but of late his busi ness has taken him through the settle ment, as a short cut; very frequently; iins each time he has read and pondered this announcement. Was it true that this “washin 1 ” was done there; and, in that Case, did the friends of the depart ed bring the “corps’’ around to this place, and were these peculiar facilities for the prosecution of the business? Or did the statement mean that parties having a “Corps” could here find a pro gressive valet de chambre for the dead? There was somethingso delightfully lugu brious in the affair that one day I tapped at the door, and entered. I was met by a withered old crone, who told me that she was “Missus” McDougal, and in quired what she could do for me. “I’m told that you attend to the wash ing of the dead.” “Yes,” said she, “and I do it cheap.” “What is your charge?” “One dollar, and I furnish all me own tools—sponges and the like.” “Well, I don’t happen to have any remains just now,” said I, “but it’s always well to be looking around. How is business with you?” “It’s very poor, sir. Times was when I could make ?’W a week as aisy as you’re set tin’ in that chair; now, if I catches $3 a week ’l'm well satisfied. You know I’m a keener, and keeners is extry. I generally make 81 a week now keenin’” “What is ‘keenin’?” “ ‘K* enin’—why, cryin’ for the dead, you know. There’s some of us as was keeners in the ould country, and we gathers around the corpse and starts the keen, and then the others they jine in.” “Is the keen any different from any other cry?” “ Different ! I should say it was, sir. Why, the keen goes right to the heart. This is the right keen,” and sfie bent over, and swaying her body from side to side, began a most dolorous and de spairing how], which she accentuated by clapping her hands, and which lean compare only to a wild and grief-strick en hysteric. Sometimes it dropped to a low moan, then rose and rose until it culminated in a shriek. It was the queerest, saddest thing I ever heard in my life. In parts it had turns of the German jodel; again it ran up and down like an operatic roulade. Really, it was a work of art—savage art—but certainly art. Put upon the stage, it would draw with any specialty act I ever saw. “We does that in the house,” she said, “and out at the graveyard, and generally I get a pound of tea and sugar, or a dollar or two, if I get it worked up well. There’s no good keen ers in t his country at all. The best are in the South of Ireland, specially in the t 'ouniy Kilkenny. To hear it right you ouglv to have a dozep goin’ at once. I tell you it comes out grand then. But these people here can’t keen—they try it, but they’re no good ; they can’t tell good keenin’ when they hear it.” Prom i-ing certainly to employ the old lady on the very first occasion that 1 wished any keening done, I withdrew, convinced that there are points which we could give even to the old Egyptians in the art of funeration.— St. Spectator. Cetowayo’ i t Hck. The “click” which some writers have noted as a curiosity in the speech of Cetewayo and his suite is not peculiar to the Zulu tongue. It is a character istic of many barbarous languages, though the clicking of the Hottentots seems to be the most elaborate, or at all events the best known. Mr. < hist, in a paper published by the English So iety of Arts, says: “The great feature of the (Hottentot) language is the existence of four clicks, formed by a different po s tlcn of the tongue: the dental cli k is pirn >st ident'cal with tho sound of in dignation not unfrequen'.ly uttered by Europeans; the lateral click is the sound with which horses are stimulated to action; the guttural click is not un like the popping of a champagne cork; and the palatal click is compared to the cracking of a whip. He adds that the Bushman, in addition to the four clicks ot the Hottentot language, has a fifth, sixth, and sometimes a seventh and an eighth click. It is interesting to note that philological authorities declare that the Hottentot is entirely distinct from other languages spoken by black races, and is of kin to the Hamitic lan guages of white races of North Africa. For instance, the Kabyles, or Berbers,, of Algeria click. Mr. Barclay (in his “Mountain Life in Algeria”) was, we believe, the first to remark this elocu tionary habit among them. He under stood‘their “click” to express assent, and when several Kabyles “assented to gether, he says, it was “like so many nistols beimr cocked.” — London (Ilobe.. —Peach fritters, served with cream anil sugar, are an excellent substitute for pastry at dinner.

A Strange Story? A special dispatch from Sharotl, Pa., says: Eddie Seaburn returned home this afternoon. Thirty days since his funeral sermon was preaefcod. by Rev. Mr. McMasters at his father’s liotise in this city. Eddie is about sixteen years old and formerly worked in Kimberly & Co.’S mill here. About the beginning of the strike he disappeared from home. Nine Weeks later his father, Samuel Seaburn, also a workman at the mill, put an advertisement in a paper setting forth that the boy had been enticed away by a one-armed tramp, and asking information of his whereabouts, adding that he could readily be identified by a scar on his forehead partly hidden by the way he wore his hair. On August 2 an account was published of the re turn home of a boy to his home in Bris tol, near Philadelphia. This boy had strayed away. His father heard that a boy had been killed by the cars at John ston, had the remains exhumed, identi fied them as those of his son, took them home to Bristol and buried them. The boy subsequently returned home alive and well. Seeing the story in print, Mr. Seaburn wrote to Bristol, and finally went there on August 17. He had the body disinterred and identified it posi tively as that of his son Eddie. It was much decomposed, the features being entirely unrecognizable, but the seared mark on the arm where it had been touched with hot iron in the mill, and the scar on the head which had been made by a horse’s hoof, were to be seen quite plainly. The teeth also were the same as the Seaburn boy, the upper front teeth being peculiar protruding ones, and a lower tooth had a small piece broken from it. The father felt greatly relieved that he knew his son’s fate. The remains were reinterred at Bristol. The name was changed on the grave-stone, and Rev. Mr. McMasters, of the United Presbyterians here, held memorial services on August 20. This afternoon, about four o’clock Eddie Sea burn, as large as life, but a trifle shab by from much travel ng under difficul ties, jumped off a freight train here and reached out his hand to the first boy acquaintance he knew. The boy stared at him and ran off to the other boys yelling: “Here’s Ed Seaburn that got killed by the cars.” A crowd of young sters gathered around him to the num ber of a hundred, some arguing that there was something crooked about this reappearance. As the majority seemed to regard his resurrection as an outrage on their feelings, the boy at last began to cry, and said he would go away again on the next train. Meanwhile, one of the boys had run to tell the news to the parents of the lost boy. The father came pushing through the crowd, his eyes glistening as he caught sight of his son. He could not be sure until he caijght the boy in his arms. Then he almost lost his senses with joy, and danced about, hugging the prodigal to his breast, until suddenly, remembering his wife, he dragged him oil home, and there were soon two pairs of arms around him instead of one. The boy explains that he was wandering about from place to place till he arrived at Sharon. But he is here, and the grave stone in the Bristol church-yard will have to be marked “Unknown” again. —Pittsburgh (.Pa.) Tho Adulteration of Sirups. While glucose is largely used to adul terate sugars, it is much more largely used to adulterate sirups; in fact it is getting to be rather unusual to find samples of honey or siruns entirely free from glucose. Prof. Kedzie, of Aliehi gan, made a number of examinations of sirups on sale in Michigan, and found in <>ne case sulphate of iron (copperas) and one hundred and seven grains of lime per gallon, which came from the improperly prepared glucose present. In another, made entirely of starch su gar, he found copperas and two hundred and seven grains of lime; in another, one hundred grains ot lime; in another, seventy-one grains of free sulphuric acid, twenty-eight grains of copperas, and three hundred ami sixty-tnree grains of lime; in another, one hundred and forty-two grains of free sulphuric acid, twenty-five grains of copperas, and sev en hundred and twenty-four grains of lime; in another, eighty grains of iron and two hundred grains of lime! One pound of cane sugar has more sweeten ing power than two pounds and a half of glucose, so that the reader can readily see the effect of this adulteration, even if we consider it harmless. lor a test of iron or copperas in sirup, it should be boiled with a decoction of strong tea. If iron is present the solution will turn black. The lime may be recognized in the sirup by adding to it a little oxalic acid; if lime is present a white cloudi ness will appear in the sirup after it has been shaken up with the oxalic acid. The best way to make the test, however, is to place in a glass two or three spoon fuls of sirup, fill it up with pure water— freshly caught rain water is the best— and add a couple of spoonfuls of a solu tion of oxalic acid. (I he solution of oxalic acid is very poisonous; it should be carefully labeled and kept under lock and key.) Tin is also occasionally found in sirups. —Prof. Udx)ux, in Chris tian Union. —A wealthy bachelor of Oregon, whose death lately occurred in the East while on a visit, has given the most valuable farm in the cove to ® for young ladies. ihe ‘ A 7 />i- i ; tll ,. school will y lines.
