sr t Didn't Know tlie War Was OTer. According to a story in Mr. Albert Lawson's War Anecdotes the last Confederate did not surrender until fifteen months after Appomattox. The story is that on the morning of Fourth of July, 18G6, the Secretary of War, who had pianneu a nsmng excursion to tue rans of the Potomac, received a telegram from tlic Provost Marshal at Richmond saying that a squad of Confederate soldiers were at his office ready to deliver up their arms and be amnestied. Knowing that joking of that sort would subject the perpetrator to court-martial, the Secretary hastened to the White House to consult with President Johnson. The result was a telegram to the Provost Marshal. "Who are they, and where did they come from?" Answer was prompt and to the point: "Sergeant Tewsbury and guard from Dismal Swamp. JDid not know the war was over." After a good deal of laughter the Provost Marshal was ordered to receive their capitulation, which was conducted in due form. Tewsbury, an old Virginian, ordered his squad?a couple of Georgians?to give up their guns and 6ign the papers, reserving himself as the last man of all the Confederate forces to surrender. The old Sergeant's description of the way he found out the war was over was amusing. He and his companions had been posted on the edga of the swamp to watch movements of the Union troops j from Norfolk, with orders to remain until relieved, and subsisted on game and fish for three years. At last he met an old colored mau who told him the War f had been over about a year, which 'tickled him better than if he had been kicked by a mule," as he expressed it.

Variety of Causes Led to the Distribution of Vegetable Gif ts of Nature Over the ijai ia a ou& I "The distribution of vegetable products over the earth affords a very interesting study," said a scientist to a Washington Star reporter. "Agriculture came originally so far as the principal species of use to man are concerned, from three great regions ?China, south; west Asia with Egypt and tropical America. In these regions the great civilizations based upon agriculture began. Ancient migrations and conquests brought about the carrying of different kinds of plauts from one part of the world to another, and they were ex! changed -also in a friendly way among | nations, so that each valuable vegetable ; became distributed from its original I source, where it grew wild, throughout 1 distant countries, the people of which | found it available for cultivation. SeaI farin<? tribes, too. conveyed such native o ' [ productions of their own to distant portions of the world. In all these ways the plants which nature had placed upon the earth in scattered patches were spread an1 made useful to the entiic human j race. The discovery of America was the | last great event which completed the diffusion of cultivated growths. "It is most curious to consider from what sources the fruits and vegetables most familiar to us, nearly all of them exotics, were originally obtained. Ofanges first grew in southern China and in Cochin, China. The lemon is indigenous to India. Grapes were cultivated in very ancient times, in fact, the fruit Ktt fKn nfa.liicfnpln UL IUC viut naa uovu WJ vuv j^/4v j peoples of both Europe and Asia. The records of wine making in Egypt go back 6000 years. Oar common strawberry is one of the most widely diffused plants, partly owing to the small size of its seeds, which birds carry to great distances. It i9 found all around the Arctic circle in a wild state, as far north as the cold will permit. Where it started no one can precisely tell, but it is certain that its cultivation was not introduced i ntil about four centuries ago. "The common plum existed first in northern Persia and the region of the Caucasus. Apricots came from Armenia : and the Greeks and Romans began to grow them at about the beginning of the Christian era. The almond tree is a native of western Asia. Peaches came from China oririnallv and pears belonged at the beginning in the temperate belt of Europe. The earliest apples grew in the neighborhood of the Ci9pian S3.x, and the same may be said of quinces. It is contended by some authors that the appl<3 disputed for by Juno, Venu9 and j Minerva was in reality a quince. i "The watermelon was cultivated by , the ancient Egyptians in the time of the building of the Pyramids. It was found represented in many of the paintings I which they left behind. Likewise there < is reason for believing it was known to . the Israelites of old. There is no doubt j that it originated in the north of Af- j rica. The cucumber belonged to the ] northwest of India. Olives were first brought from the south coast of Asia i Minor. Mythology attributed to Mi- ( nerva the painting of the fruit in 1 Greece, which probably signifies the in- ] troduction of cultivated varieties and of i processes for extracting the oil. The - a c i. 1? "1 ? I? I irauuicas ui uuuieufc peupita^tjiuuemsuuu by the poets, have commonly attributed the first steps in agriculture and the m- j traduction of useful plants to some di- , vinitv. i "Red peppers are of American origin. The fig is native to the southern Mediterranean basin from Assyria to the Canaries. Dates are indigenous to the region between the Euphrates and the Nile. The people of Babylon and of Egypt cultivated them most anciently. Bananas had their first existence in the south of Asia, and not in the tropica! parts of this continent.. Probably the specie3 were early introduced to the Americans by the Spanish and Portuguese. * - - 4 3 me pineapple is an Amcncaa piuub uuu was suitably^exchanged for the gift of the banana by introducing it to Asia and Africa. "Radishes were cultivated in gardens from the earliest historic times throughout the tempeiate region of Asia and Europe, so that it is imj>ossible to tell where they started. Turnips are European. Salsify was first found in Greece and Italy. The potato is one of America's most important contributions to the world's stock of vegetables. Spanish voyagers conveyed it abroad first, though the credit for its introduction to the old world was for a long time given Sir Walter lialeigh. Chili was the birthplace of the tuber. It is commonly imagined, though incorrectly, that the sweet potato belongs to the same family as the potato. Probably the sweet potato originated iu America, though some authorities contend that it first grew in Asia. Beets belonged in southern Europe and southwest Asia. Garlic is Mongolian.

In its wild state it was found on the rocks by the seashore. The date of its cultivation is very ancient. Garden cress came from Persia, likewise spinach. The tea plant came lirst from China, and its existence is accounted for by a legend to the effect that a priest, having succumbed to sleep when he had wished to watch and pray, in anger .cut off his eyelids, which were changed into the shrub whose learee are calculated to prevent Bleep.

The management of the Southern InterState Immigration Bureau, in order to have on exhibition at the approaching Exposition in October and November in j the City of Raleigh, X. C., a display of the agencies now in operation for the improvement of Southern agriculture, have thought it advisable to have a co-opera- j tive exhibit by the Agricultural Experi- ! ment Stations of the South. They have accordingly named Dr. H. B. Battle, Director ot the North Carolina Experiment Station, as Manager of the co-opera tive Experiment Stations exhibits. Dr. | Battle enters upon his duties and responsibilities of the position with the experience of many years in Experiment Station work, and also with the experience of serving the State in each of the Expositions of Boston, Raleigh and New Orleans. The exhibit at Raleigh of the various Experiment Stations of the South will be co-operative in its character, but owing to geographical position, and the fact that North Carolina has the oldest Experiment Station in the South?the second oldest in the Union?and full command of all its laboratory, machinery and apparatus, all of which it would be impracticable for the representatives oL dif1 - ?--- :*L 4.1 iUA lerciic DL&UODS to uriu^ witu iuclli, iuc : North Carolina Station will be the | nucleus around "which all the others will form.

CntUirirom me norm. Dr. H. Carrington Bolton, in one ot his recent lectures, told of visiting the little island of Niihau, one of the smallest of the Hawaiian group, and of the pleasant days he spent there as the guest of the only white family ou the island. This is the family of Mr. George S. Gay, and the entire island has been owned by this family for twenty-nve years past. The family includes Mr. and Mrs. Gay, and three or four chil lren, and except for an occasional guest, they seldom see any white people. The island is a great sheep rauch, embracing about 70,000 acres, and with a native population ot less than 100, all that remains of nearly 1000 uatives who in 1S32 inhabited the island. Even in this favored spot, where Mr. Gay has done everything in his power to preserve the natives from the evils attendant upon civilization, they are rapidly dying out, just as in all parts of the littic kingdom the native race is dwindling away, and will before many generations probably disappear entirely. Mr. Gay and his family are very well-todo people, and they seem to be very happy in their quiet, isolated home. Mr. Gay is Governor of the little island, attends to the welfare of all his people, and a sort of patriarchal life exists there. The white family recives tribute from the natives, who give them at stated times a certain amount of labor and such supplies of fish, cocoanuts and sweet potatoes. Of course, the children have no white comrades to play with, but they seem to be just as happy as children anywhere are. They make playmates of various animals, which they tame and care ( for, and beside, they have their pouies i -_J - 1 _r j ..4Tn?1 ' iillU U Iiuinuer Ul U<J_;o, nun,u IIUUIU them a great deal of entertainment.?

When a citizen of the Creek Nation is condemned to daath he is released on parole until the fatal day arrived, when he invariably shows up without any sort of restraint or duress having been employed. The Sheriff shoots the culprit through the heart with a rine. Ttte redemption of his parole of hoaor has been a distinguishing characteristic of the Ureek Indian for ages, and the most red-handed criminals among them, from a superstitious belief that to flee would be useless, rush to the executioner as a bridegroom rushes to his bride, once the law says he is worthy of death, but not worthy of bonds. The Creeks, being a rirllizwi tribe, with excellent schools. courts, Judges and criminal and civii codes, perhaps the Caucasian virtue of inconstancy has invaded the Territory, and Sheriffs have learned to lock up their prisoners. I remembered an execution that occurred in the Creek Nation less than ten year6 ago. The condemned was a young farmer -who hid killed his neighbor. A little before sunrise a crowd had gathered in the open space back of the court ' house where the ready coffin had been brought to receive the tenement of clay after its tenant had been evicted by a rifie ball. In the crowd were the father and the brother of the condemned. When the sun began to paint the treetops and he had not yet appeared, some j IU-I one uiuu uc iui^ut uuvc uv nu. His kinsmen indignantly denied the possibility of such cravenness in ono of their family and a quarrel ensued. It was interrupted by a horseman galloping up and dismounting near the coffin. He spoke to no one, not even recognizing his relatives?having already taken leave of them. A jetty officer led the riderless horse away, slipped its bridle, and it begaa to crop the prairie grass. The horseman himself walked directly to the ominous black box, turned his face to the rising sun, held his hands stiffly at his sides and awaited motionless. The Sheriff had already driven a stake fifteen paces from the coffin. He advanced to this, raised his rifio to his 6houlder, took deliberate aim nt the fellow's breast and fired. The lattei fell without a groan, and his relative! took charge of lus body.?St. Louis icepuuuc. locusts in Australia.

It docs not seem ;asy for a soldier to become rich, but hey can save something. According to :he Omaha Bee, Colonel Stanton, Paymaster of the Department of the Platte, ecently paid a soldier $1048.89 as the savings of a five years' enlistment. Said that officer: UI have paid quite a number of men amounts ranging all the way [rom $500 to $5000. The largest sum [ ever knew a soldier to have deposited with the United'States when he was finally paid off was ?5012.45. That man was a hospital steward at Port Meade. He had served several terms ot enlistment, and had not only saved what moDey the Government paid him, but he had made some more by lending. When I paid him thc^!?012.45 he immediately re-enlisted for iJv^ears more, and deposited the entire affcount again with the United States. Soldiers are just like men in every other occupation.
