The Faded Bouquet.
The sunset sky shone rarely grand,
And. around us hung the calm of spring;
She was the fairest in the land—
Ilad piercing eyes, you understand,
And hair as black as the ravcn's wing.
She gave me, when Ibads heradieu,
A bouquet, tiny and ever so sweet,
A sprig of green and flowers a few—
Flowers of a rare and purple hue,
That bloomed around her feet.
I said to myself. " I will lay it away
With the rest of my treasures rare,
Where, seeing it at some future day,
I shall think of the giver, so fair and gay—
01 the girl with the raven hair.
Days and months and changeful years
Since then have taken night;
I've had many hopes, perplexing fears—
Seen trials, cares and blinding tears,
In sorrow’s rayiess night.
As all alone I stood to-day
Looking over my treasures rare,
I found a withered and faded bouqet,
And I thought of the giver. fair and gay—
Of the girl with the raven hair.
A scene of the past appeared again,
My soul grow dark with gloom;
For out on the lonely plain,
The cold, melancholy rain,
Was falling on her tomb.
WG-—
Trapped by_an Heiress.
A cosier place than the big sitting-room
at Hillcresi: would have been hard to find,
if one had traveled from Land’s End to
John O’Groat‘s; and this eventful evening,
when the destinies of two worthy people
were about taking definite form—two peo-
ple who had never seen each other, and
who had heard of each other so often that
both were curiously eager to meet—on this
important evening the sitting-room at Hill—
crest had never looked pleasanter or cosier.
A huge fire of logs glowed like molten
carbuncles in the open fireplace; on the
table in the centre of the floor, whose cover
matched the glowing crimson of the carpet,
was a silver stand that held a dozen snowy
wax tapers, whose beaming light contrasted
exquisitely with the ruddy glow of the fire.
Beside the table, in a big, cushioned
chair, with his feet thrust toward the genial
warmth on the hearth, his gray dressing-
gown sitting comfortably on his portly
form, his gold-rim'med glasses on his nose,
sat the owner and master of Hillcrest, Mr.
Abiah Cressington, rich, good-natured, and
fond of his own way. Opposite him was
the mistress of the place—little, shrew-
faced, merry Aunt Cornelia, his sister, who,
wince her widowhood, had come to Hillcrest
to make her bachelor brother‘s home as
pleasant as she could.
That she had succeeded was very evident
by the way now in which he looked upfrom
a letter he had been reading—the confiden-
tial, kindly way in which he did it.
"Walter writes a curious letter in re-
sponse to my invitation to come and spend
a few weeks at Hillcrest as soon as he gets
over his fatigue from his ocean voyage
home, after his five years’ tour abroad. I’ll
read it to you."
He leaned near the softly-glowing, light,
and began the short, concise reply that
Walter Austin had written from his cham.
her in the Temple:
“ You are very kind. indeed. Uncle Abiah,
to ask me down to Hillcrest for as long as I
wish to stay, and I can assure you that I
have been so long a wanderer that the idea
of a home is very pleasant to me. But
when I take into consideration the peculiar
importance you propose attaching to my
visit, I am unwilling to accept the invita-
tion. To me, the idea of having my fan-
cies and inclinations put into harness, and
to feel that I am on continual duty to win
my way into the good graces of my second
cousin, Mabel, whom you are good enough
to wish me to marryn"
Mrs. Cornelia interrupted sharply—-
“Abiah, you never went and told our
grand—nephew that you had in view his
marriage with Mabel?"
Her tone was energetic, almost repre-
hensive.
“Why not ? I certainly did. I told him
in my letter that it was a. chance for him
he’d never get again, and that he needn’t
feel under such terrible obligations totake
a fancy to Phil’s little Mabel, but to come
down and be cousinly, and if anything
should happen, it’d be right all around.
Mrs. Cornelia knitted vigorously, her
lavender cap—ribbons quivering in the mel-
low taper glow.
“ All I have to say is, you're—a fool,
Abiah! Walter is right. A young man
doesn’t like to have his fancies under rein
and whip, and the. very fact that we want
him to many will make him indisposed to
do it. You’ve made a great mistake in the
beginning. "
Mr. Cressington looked aghast at his sis-
ter’s determined face.
“ Why, I really didn’t suppose—"
“Of course you didn’t. It‘s only your
natural stupidity, you dear old fellow! Men
are all alike. Don’t I know them like a
book? And you’ve ruined your hopes for
Mabel and Walter at the very outset.”
Mr. Cressington started discomfitedly.
“I am sure I meant it all right enough,
Cornelia. I certainly wanted Walter to
know what a little darling our Mabel is, and
what a nice little wife she would make for
any man.”
“ Very commendable, indeed; only, if
you had consulted me upon the letter you
sent, I should have advised you to say
nothing about Mabel, or her charms, or her
expectations. I should have simply asked
him to come°and see us, and have left the
rest to Mable‘s blue eyes. You see, Abiah ? "
His lips compressed slowly.
“I think I see. And my hopes in that
direction are all ruined."
The silver needles choked rapidly, and
the snow—white yarn came reeling merrily
of the ball under her arm.
“ Not at all. Leave that to me, and I’ll
see what can be done Trust a woman’s
wit to get even a blundering old fellow like
yourself out of a scrape.”
She smiled and nodded, and looked alto.
gether so mischievous, that Mr. Crossing-
ton became quite excited over ' her little
mystery. '
“Do explain, Cornelia.”
And when she explained he leaned back
in his chair, with an expression of positive
awe and admiration on his face.
“ What a woman you are, Cornelia! I
declare, it beats anything I ever heard in
. the whole course of my life i "
O O O 1 C
After dusk, a glorious winter day,with here
and there a star twinkling in the pale gray
sky, and the lights and fires in the Hillcrest
sitting-room making an eloquent welcome
to Walter Austin, as he stood in the midst
of the home circle, tall, gentlemanly, hand-
some and self-possessed.
Old Mr. Cressington was in his richest
humor as he led forward two young girls.
“ Come, don’t be shy, now. Walter,
this is your cousin, Mabel Cressington, and
this is her good friend and inseparable
companion, Irene Vance, come to help eu-
tertain you. My nephew, Mr. Walter Aus-
tin, girls. And this is Aunt Cornelia—you
remember well enough, hey?” ,
And so the presentation was merrily got-
ten over, and Walter found himselfat home
in the most pleasant family he had ever
known.
They were remarkably pretty girls, with
deep blue eyes-although Miss Vance’s
were decidedly the deeper blue and more
bewitching—and lovely; yellow-gold hair.
Walter found himself admiring the style of
Miss Vance’s cmfursbefors he had known
her an hour; and when he went up to his
room that night he felt as if between the
two, roguish Mabel and sweet little Irene,
he would never come out heart—whole.
“For Mabel is a good little darling,"
thought he, “and I will take Greatuncle
Abiali’s advise and fall in love with her.
and thereby secure a generous share of the
Cressington estates. Egad! that‘s a happy
thought! "
But the handsome young gentleman went
to sleep and dreamed, instead of Mabel's
laughing eyes, of Ireue’s gentle, tender
ones; and awoke somewhere in the middle
of the night, unable to get asleep again for
thinking of her. _
And the after days were not much better.
Despite the golden value of Mabel, there
was something about Irene Vance that
made this headstrong fellow very foolishly
indifferent to the advice he had sworn to
follow. .
“ Because, by J ovc ! a fellow would have
to be made out of granite to resistthe sweet,
shy ways of such a little darling as Irene!
And I’ll marry her if she‘ll have me, and
the money and property may go to the—
dogs. I've a head and a pair of hands, and
blue-eyed Irene shall not sufier! "
It was not an hour later that he met her
in the hall, carrying great boughs of holly,
with which to festoon, down the walnut
staircase. . . .
“Give me your burden, Irene," said he.
“ Why did you not tell me you were going
to gather it, and let me go with you? It is
altogether too heavy a burden for your
arms to bear."
He managed to get the lovely sprays
from her arms, but it req‘hired an immense
amount of tardy effort on his part, and shy,
sweet blushing on hers.
“ Answer me, Irene. Why didn’t you let
me go with you? Wouldn’t. you have liked
it."
He demanded her answer in the most
captivating, lordly way, and she dropped
her eyes in great confusion.
“Y-e-S."
“Then why were you so cruel to me? "
“I am not cruel to anybody. Indeed I
must go now." ' “
Walter placed himself squarely in the
way. and was looking down at her rose-
tinted face. .
“ No, you can‘t go yet. Irene, you are
cruel, or you would never deprive one of the
opportunity to enjoy the blessedness of
your society." His voice lowered tenderly,
and he dropped his head nearer her golden
curls. “ You know I think it cruel in you
to be so distant, and shy, and reserved with
me—don’t you, Irene '3 ”
She shrank away, her lovely form droop-
ing like a lily, her cheeks hanging out their
signals of distress and confusion.
“ Oh, please don’t talk so if) me. Indeed
I must go! Mabel is waiting for the holly,
and she—they won’t like it if—”
But she was a. prisoner in his tight clasp.
“If what? If they find you and me
talking so confidentially together? "
“No! I mean if I don‘t take the: holly
at once.”
Walter put his arm around her waist be-
fore she knew what he was doing.
“ Irene, look up. You shall not go un-
til you let me see in your eyes if you love
me as well as I love you! Irene, my dear
little girl, I do love you very dearly! ”
She was silent for one second, and he
saw the quiver of her red lips. Then she
raised her head slowly, shyly. .
“ You love me? Oh, Walter, what will
they all say? Don’t you know it is Mabel
you should say that to? I am nobody, and
Mabel is an heiress.”
Walter had both arms around her by this
time, and was looking ardently in her glow-
ing face.
"' I know Mabel is an heiress, and a. nice
little girl, and I also know you area dar-
ling—my darling—and the only girl I ever
asked to be my wife, or ever shall ask! Say
yes, pet! "
His tones were low and tender, but
triumphant.
“And you can deliberately give up so
much for only just me ?"
Her wondrous eyes met his bravely now,
and thrilled him with the love light in
them.
“Only just you. my own darling! Why,
you are more than all the world to me!
Come, we will go tell Uncle Abiah at once.
Just one kiss first—you must i ”
And he had more than one or two, be-
fore he led her, blushing, with tears tremb-
ling on her lashes, like diamonds on a gold-
en thread, to Uncle Abiah, who sat in his
library with Mrs. Cornelia, industriously
looking over a receipt book. They looked
up in surprise as Walter marched in, Irene
on his arm, a picture of confusion.
“If you please, Uncle Abiah, I want your
blessing and cordial consent to receive this
little girl for your niece. I love her, and
she loves me.” .
Uncle Abiah locked shrewdly over his
glasses at Mrs. Cornelia. _
“ Well, sister, what shall we say to this
youth‘s demand ? ” .
A broad smlle of perfect delight was on
her merry face.
“Say? Why, tell them yes, and wel-
come; and let them know their Aunt Cor.
nelia isn’t a fool if their Uncle Abiali is.”
Walter looked on astonished, and felt
Irene’s hand tremble on his arm.
“ What is it, dear ? ” '
She smiled through her tears as she
looked into his inquiring eyes. ,
“ Oh, Walter, I am afraid you will be an-
gry. I am Mabel after all, and—and—"
“ And you have made love to your cou-
sin, the heiress, in spite of yourself, my
boy. So Hillcrest is aforegone fat-e, after
all, eh ? "
“Don’t scold, please Walter! "‘ Mabel
pleaded, in a low voice, with her blue eyes
looking into his. -
“As if I could scold you, my love!
Since I have you, what need I care ? ”
And Mrs. Cornelia turned over the leaves
of the receipt—book until she came to
“ wedding cake,” and avers that she made
the match herself. I

A, RAILROAD, WITH A BED 0F SALT.
There is a vast bed of rock salt in the
Colorado Desert, near Idaho, and the
Southern Pacific Railroad in laying the
track to the salt mine has been obliged
to grade the .road for 1.200 feet with
blocks of these beautiful lumps of salt
crystals. This is the first instance of a
railroad road-bed being laid and bal-
Iasted on salt of which we have any
knowledge. The sea that once rolled
over this place dried up and left a vast
bed of salt about fifty miles in length.
The quality is superb and the supply in-
exhaustible. Grasshoppers of enormous
size and giant centipcdes have been
pickled in this chlcride of sodium, and
are to-day, after the lapse of centuries,
in full size and perfection of shape.
This vast salt bed will be viiluable to the
reducers of ores in California, Arizona
and New Mexico and can be supplied in
boundless quantities. .

A CURIOUS "1121410.
The Dayton (Ohio) Journal in a recent is.
sue says: One of the most curious relics
probably that have ever been found in the
Miami Valley was discovered one day re-
cently at the residence of Julius Ogler, on
Buckeye street. It is a small sculptured
stone head about the size of a coconnut.
'The work is roughly done, and bears the
appearance of a very ancient date. The
material is a piece of white sandstone, the
surface of it. was black with age, weighing
in all six to eight pounds. The features
have a half Mongolian, half Egyptian cast,
the nose is partly broken, and one side of
the head has been destroyed, though not
so as to affect the face. The lips are open
or so cut as to show the lines of the teeth.
Last spring a year ago Mr. Ogler was dig-
ging a cellar on the lot on which his house
stands, and the earth was thrown up on one
side, where it. has remained since. A few
days ago his son, while playing in this
earth, picked up a round stone incrusted
with clay, and on cleaning it found the
Mr.
Ogler related the circumstance to Mr. John
Sinks, and showed him the stone. Mr.
Sinks became interested in the subject, and
left the stone at Pretzinger‘s drug store for
the examination of Mr. Adolph Preizinger,
who has paid considerable attention to
American antiquities. Mr. Ogler says
there is a slight hollow at thht portion of the
lot where the cellar was dug, but none of
the land is made ground, it never having
been filled in.
During the last few days the stone has
been examined by a number of gentlemen
who are interested in the subject of Ameri.
can antiquities, and is regarded as a very
curious and anomalous relic. Dr. J ewett,
who is familiar with all the works that
have been published on the subject, said,
after looking at the stone, that it was en.
iirely different from anything that he had
ever seen in the way of Indian sculpture,
and that it was not of Indian‘origiu was
further evident from the cast of features
and heard at the chin. It might be, he
thought, nothing but the crude work of
some stone cutter, and had been thrown
aside in the lot, but the evidence as to its
age was against this supposition. For if
there had been no filling on the lot on
which it was found, it must have been
buried for an inealculable period of time.
'The head was evidently attached to some
block or pedestal, from which it has been
'broken of. At the back of the head there
is a small portion of this pedestal as smooth
as sawn stone, andif it were a piece of sawn
stone its recent date were established at
once. The evidence as to its being a genu—
ine relic, however, is so strong as to over-
turn any supposition that the stone was
sewn, and the method among all primitive
nations of rubbing the work smooth by
grinding would readily account for this.
No such stone as this, Dr. Jewett says, is
found south of Berea in this State.

I‘IIE FIRST ICE '1‘0 CALCU'I‘TAa
It is half a century since Mr. Tudor, an
enterprising merchant of Boston, thought
that he might make money if be forwarded
acargo of ice to Calcutta. Before that
gentleman undertook the venture a'little
natural ice was obtained at a place about
40 miles from the capital of Bengal.
Shallow troughs were dug in the ground,
pans of porous earthen ware were placed
therein, a layer of straw being interposed be-
tween the bottom of the pan and the
ground, and a little. water was poured into
each pan. If the ‘wind blow from the
north-west the water in the pans would be
frozen before the morning. This ice
fetched a high price in the market. In
1833 there was no longer any necessity for
resorting to this proceSs for getting it, as
'mthat year Mr. Tudor‘s first ship sailed
up the Hooghly with a cargo of ice on
board; the cargo was sold in the market
for 3 pence per pound. Since that day the
export of ice from Boston has become a
regular and most profitable branch of trade.
In the warehouses there as many as 300,000
tons of congealed water stored away at
atime. Many thousand persons are on-
gaged in the ice traffic throughout the
United States. The capital invested
amounts to $6,000,000. It was shortly
after the beginning of this century that
Mr. Tudor began to export ice from Bos-
ton. For several years the quantity shipped
was small. Aquarter of‘a century after
the trade had commenced the number of
tons of ice exported was 4,352; at the close
of the first half century the quantity had
risen to nearly 160,000 tons. The commer-
cial success which attended this operation
inspired an ingenious Yankee with a more
ambitious notion. He proposed to go in
quest of an iceberg, to grapple it, and tow
it to a convenient place for distribution.
The scheme though a plausible one,
has not yet been carried out. —- Good

A RARE GEOLOGICAL SPECIMEN.
Rev. B. M. Luther, while in attend-
ance upon the Missionary Convention,
held in Addison, Vt, obtained through
thckindness of the Rev. Mr. Nott a rare
imd curious geological specimen from the
shores of Lake Champlain. It is a slab of
- limestone, about eleven inches long by six
inches wide, which seems to be composed
almost entirely of fossils. There is not
half an inch square of the surface which
does not show a fossil. There are many
varieties, some of which have not been
identified, but among those which have
been are many remains of the Trinucleus.
conceniricus, some specimens of Petraia,
fragments of the Orthis, a number of Dis.
cinao, several well preserved specimens of
Leptenm, and impressions of Lingula. The
latter is the only shell which has existed
from the first dawn of life until the present
time without change. The specimens of
existing Lingula are precisely similar to
those found in the earliest geological for.
motions. There are also in the slab several
-are specimens of seaweed, remains of
which are seldom found at so early as
age in the geological history of the world.
The slab belongs to the lower Silurian for.
motion, the first in which organic remains
are found. It is probably from the Tren.
ton epoch of that age. If geologists can
be trusted, at the time the little animals,
whose remains are thus preserved, were
living, the only part of this continent which
had appeared above the primeval ocean was
a strip of land along the present St. Law-
rence River and the northern shores of
the great lakes, with a, promontory reach-
ing out toward the Adirondacks, and a few
islands along what is now the Atlantic coast
line.——Bcnn£ngloh ( Vt.) Banner.

The Times’s Geneva correspondent writes
that M. A. Borel, of Chaux-de-Fonds, has
just had the good fortune to find in the
Lake of Neuchatel, between Bazuge and
Chatelard, a prehistoric canoe, probably the
finest specimen of the sort that has yet
come to light in Switzerland. Hollowed
out of a single piece of oak, the vessel is 8
metres long, 90 centimetres wide, and 65
centimetres high. Itis well finished,and ina
perfect state of preservation. The stem
carriesaspur, and the prow is curvedin
'the form of a hook, probably for the pur.
pose of attaching it by a rope to a landing-
place. The canoe is, suficiently large to
carry 12 persons. There "is no appearance
of rowlocks, but the supports on which the
thwarts formerly rested are still plainly to
be seen. M. Borel proposes to present this
interesting “find " to the Museum of Chaux.

GRAVES IN Tar: CRIMEA.
Cathcart Hill has now become the one
British cemetery. Extending from the
Alma to Balaklava. there were 139 burial
places, and it was found impossible to
look after them all, and now Cathcart
Hill is tobe taken care of as a monu-
mental record of all the British who died
in the Crimea. About 70 feet has been
added all round to the old inclosure, and
consecrated, and a substantial wall sur-
rounds thc space, with a house through
which visitors pass into the cemetery.
Capt. Harford, who acts as English Con-
sul at Sebastopol, has taken a great in-
terest in this work. and has got the place
into very good order. A number of the
principal monuments from the other came.
teries have been moved and placed on
Catbcart Hill. It would be imposible now
to move the bodies, but the headstone
if placed in this new cemetry, will be
safe from damage, and will be still
records of those who felL It is a heavy
Work to remove these headstones, and
some have to be carried a great distance;
it is to be hoped that a grant of money
will be made to have this done now once
and for all in a proper manner. For
much less important objects money has
been subscribed by the public, but if the
Government did this part of the work,
whichis their duty, a monument should
be erected on the spot to all who fell, and
that might be done by public subscrip-
tion. During the siege Catheart Hill
was the commanding point every one
went to for the purpose of seeing Sebas-
topol and to get a glimpse of the opera-
tions. All knew it. It is still the spot
where visitors go to see the ground of the
great struggle. The piece of ground
has been made over to the British Gov-
ernment, and a substantial and fitting
monument on the historical ground
would be a record of the past as well as a
monument due to the memory of the
brave who died. The Russians have
done their duty in this respect to their
dead and we should not be behind them.
In addition to the memorial chapel in
the Russian cemetery, a very fine new
memorial church has been built in the
middle of Sebastopol over the graves of
four Admirals who were killed, or at
leat died. in connection with the defense
of the place. It was Admiral Lazerefl
who created Sebastopol ; the fortress
and the BlackSea fleet were produced
under him. He is one of the four Ad-
mirals buried in the new church, and so
proud are the Russians of the defense of
Sebastopol that after the siege they
erected a monument—a statue on a
pedestal—etc him in the midst of the
ruins of the city he had founded. The
statue is colossal and stands in front of
the “White Buildings,” overlooking the
harbor. These “ White Buildings,”
which were barracks, are still roofless
and in ruins, and the figure of the Ad-
miral, which is black. has rather a ghastly
appearance with such surroundings.
A nEIirAnKAnLu PHOTOGRAPH.
A tiger photographed in the very act
of killing a bufi‘alo is probably an oc-
currence unparalleled in the annals of
the camera. Yet that such a photo
graph has actually been taken, is vouched
for in the Indian press. The artist, it
appears, had focused on the bufi‘alo,
which was tied for the occasion to a tree-
sisump in the middle of a field, and had
just put a dry plate into the camera
when the tiger, brought up to the spot
for the purpose, went at it. and struck
down the great -horned beast with a
single blow of his right paw. “ My in-
strument," says the photographer, “was
about seven yards from the buffalo, and
the tiger might just as well have come at
me if he had chosen to do so, but he
preferred the beef, and taking advantage
of the moment he had sprung his victim,
I released the spring shutter just as be had
given the buffalo his knock-down blow.’
The negative is good enough to give
an authentic picture from the life of the
most terrible of carnivorous beasts at the
precise moment when it had stunned its
huge prey. The bufi‘alo. though fatally
struck, had not even had time to fall be-
fore the “ sun picture ” of its dying mo
ments was fixed upon the faithful plate,
and so there it stands with its knees just
giving away under it, and its great head
drooping in death. A quarter of a
second later and it was lying on the
ground lifeless; but on the photo-
grapher’s glass it remains forever in the
actual attitude of dying, and at the in-
stant when it is drawing its last breath.
After slaying the buffalo, the tiger
stretched its head round over the neck
and, slipping its mouth down to the buf-
falo's throat, lay across it, sucking its
life blood. This fact is an extraordinary
one, for it has long been decided, upon
what were considered indisputable ob-
servations, that the tiger never, by any
chance, commenced its meal at the throat.
Sometimes, if there were alight, it would
wound its adversary in that spot ; but, as
a rule, it trusts to its first blow to break
its victim’s neck, and then pulling it
down on to the ground, begins to do
war a portion of the hind quarters.

A PATENT FARO Box.
It is often asserted and generally be-
lieved that it is against the policy of the
government to patent any article issued
for immoral purposes. and in the col-
lection of thousands of models in the
patent office museum one might look all
day without discovering ought that
would look like the product of an im-
moral thought. Yet it is nevertheless
true that afaro dealer's box was once
patented in the regular way, and the
owner of the same. one Robert Balley,
of Virginia, and old-fashioned gambler,
realized considerable money from the
same, receiving one hundred dollars roy-
alty for each box sold. He did all he
could to reform the game offaro, and
protected those who played from the

W
rm: ALASKA GLACIER.
Alaska's magnificent glacier drags
slowly on its dreary way at the probable
rate of a quarter of a mile per year. At the
face or front it presents a perpendicular
will of ice’500 feet thick, and varies from
three to ten miles in width, extending
back to the north probably 150 miles.
Hundreds of tons of iceare falling ofi‘ the
face of this great glacier every few
minutes -into the bay. splashing the
water more than fifty feet. high and rol-
ling up waves that toss the ships like
small toy boats. The appearance of the
ice, the most pure in the world, is daz-
zling to the eye, all the tints of blue,
from the most delicate to the deepest in-
digo, being represented. The. top sur-
face abounds with little hillocks and
miniature mountains of ice. Great areas
of earth, gravel and large rocks the size
of a house are carried __ou the top of these
ice-fields from place to place, its this
great fioe, more than 1,000 feet deep of
solid ice, moves toward the sea.
'rwo YANKEE TRICKS.
A Yankee performing a. journey
through the back countries on foot saw
two horses in a field as he passed along,
one of which he determined to borrow
for a few miles, as he was feeling very
weary. Accordingly, writing in pencil
on a slip of paper that he would leave
the beast at the next town on the road.
be tied the note to one horse’s fetlock,
and mounting the other with merely a
halter for bridle, rode off with him. This
transaction happening to be observed,
an alarm was given to the owner of the
animals, who, cuddling the remaining
one, without paying any attention to the -
note attached to its leg, rode away after
the unknown borrower. or. as be con.
sidered him, perhaps, thief. Unluckly
for the Yankee, he was mounted on a.
slow traveler compared with the steed ho
had left behind, and he soon descried
with some constei'ndtion a. rider behind
urging a powerful beast along the road
at full speed, evidently in pursuit of him.
Having neither whip nor spur, he found
it a difficult matter to impel the horse he
rode beyond its': usual pace, and his pur-
suer, therefore. had every chance of
coming up with him directly. At this
moment he perceived a cottage by the
roadside at no great distance, toward
which, by blows and kicks, he urged his
steed somewhat faster, the former gain-
ing on him nevertheless at every stop.
Reaching the door he dismounted and
went in. The farmer riding up imme-
diaiely after in a tremendous passion,
threw himself off his horse, leaving it by
the side of its fellow, and ran into the
cottage to seize and secure the thief.
The Yankee, however, was prepared for
him. Having. slipped up stairs, he
opened the front window which looked
out upon the road, and as the farmer ran
into the house let himself down outside,
mounted the huddled horse, Seized the
other by the halter and rode off securely
with both. _
The hero of the second story was at
least as ingenious. A new liquor warc‘
house opening at Boston on a ready-
moncy and low-price system. Jonathan
walked in one day with a two’gallon
keg on his shoulder, and asked for a gal-
lon of the best brandy. The liquor hav-
ing been poured througha funnel into
his keg, the money was demanded.
Pertending ignorance of their mode of
doing business, the Yankee said he would
pay the next time he came, into town.
The shopman demurrer], saying that he
did not intend to give any credit.
“But," asked the Yankee, in mock
surprise, “do you intend to take back
the brandy i ”
“ To be sure, " replied the other."
if you don't pay for it.”
“Then,” said be, “you must bring
your measure, for I have some liquor of
my ownin the keg. "
This was done, a gallon of the contents
measured back, and the fellow marched
ofi‘ with another gallon of fine grog, hav-
ing half-filled his keg beforehand with
water!
THIS: ABC-AN TREE.
Inhis account of his recent travels in
North Africa, Sir Joseph Hooker, the emi-
nent English botanist describes the argan
tree as in many respects the most remarka-
ble plant of South Morocco; and it attracts
the more attention as it is the only tree
that commonly attains a large size, and
forms a conspicuous feature of the land-
scape inthe low country near the coast.
In structure and properties it is nearly
allied to the tropical genus Sideroxylon
(ironwood); but there is enough of general
resemblance, both in its mode of growth
and its economic uses, to the familiar olive
tree of the Mediterranean region to make it
the local representative of that plant. Its
home is the subdittoral zone of South-
western Morocco, where it is common be-
tween the rivers Tensift and Sons. A few
scattered trees only are said to be found
north of the Tensift; but it seems to be
not infrequent in the hilly district between
the Sous and the river of Oued Noun, mak-
ing the total length of its area about 200
miles. Extending from near the coast for
a distance of 30 or 40 miles inland, it is ab-
solutely unknown elsewhere in the world.
The trunk always divide at a height of 8 or
10 feet from the ground, and sends out
numerous spreading, nearly horizontal
branches. The growth is apparently very
slow, and the trees that attain a girth of
12 to 15 feet are probably of great antiqui-
ty. The minor branches and young shoots
are beset with stiff thick spines, and the
leaves are like those of the olive in shape,
but of a fuller green, somewhat paler on
the underside. Unlike the olive, the wood
is of extreme hardness, and seemingly in-
destructible by insects. The fruit, much
like a large olive in appearance, but vary-
ing much in size and shape, is greedily de-
voured by goats, sheep, camels, and cows,
but refused by horses and mules; its hard
kernel furnishes the oil which replaces that
of the olive In the cookery of South Moroc-
co, and is so unpleasant to the unaccus-
tomed palate of the Europeans. The organ
averages about 25 feet in heigth, and covers
a space of 60 or 70 feet in diameter. Some-
times goats were seen feeding on the fruit,
much to the amusement of Sir Joseph,
who had not been accustomed to copsider
the goal: as an arboreal quadruped. Owing
to the spreading habit of the branches,
which in the older trees approach very
near to the ground, no young seedlings are
seen where the trees are near together, and
but little vegetation, excepting small on.
nuls; but in open places, and on the outer
skirts of the forest, there grows in abund-
ance a peculiar species of.thymo (T. Brous.
sonnetii'), with broadly ovate leaves and the
characteristic strong scent of that tribe.
It is interesting to the botanist as an endem-
ic species, occupying almost exactly the
same geographical area as the organ. It is
replaced in the interior of the country by
an allied, but quite distinct, species. Its
. penetrating odor seems to be noxious . to
moths, as the dried twigs and leaves are
much used in Mogador, and found effec.
tual for the preservation of woollen stuffs.

A nlu noon on A use snout.
A young lady in Sandusky can probably
boast of the largest feet in the world. A
Detroit gentleman, who was ina shoe store
in that city when the lady left an order for
a pair of shoes, brought back a “cha " of
the foot that was taken to secure proper
lasts. The young lady is 17 years of age,
is 4;. feet high, and weighs 110 pounds.
There is nothing remarkable about her
except her feet, an idea of the immensity
of which can be obtained by the following
accurate measurement: Length, 17 inches;
size around the heel, 22 inches; around the
instep, 181} inches; around the ball of the
foot, 19 inches; around the smallest part
of the ankle, 10; inches. The feet are not
unsymmetrical, and the only discomfort
the lady experiences is from the muscular
exertion required to carry them around.—

JAPANESE WOMEN,
In Japan, as in' America, the gentle sex
monopolize most of the attention of
society, while their unfortunate brothers
are left to struggle for themselves. This
discrimination begins early in life, but it
is the Japanese custom to give baby girls
the names of delicate and lovely plants
or flowers, while the boys are simply
numbered, and are known as First-boy,
Second-boy, and so on.

IA Reminiscene of tie Tutor-Beecher
Scandal.
FRANCIS I). )IOULTIIN, THE )IUTL'AI.
FRIEND.
Frances D. Moulton, one of the ablcst-
witnesses who ever exercised the ingenu-
ity of n cross-examining lawyer, died at
his residence in New York city, December
3, 1884. Outside of his connection with
the Beecher scandal he was a man to be
remembered, being an influential agricul-
turalist and an earnest friend of rural
interests. Many who read these sentences
have met Mr. Moulton at fairs and similar
gatherings of country people. He was a
good public speaker, and a genial man
whom it was always It pleasure to see
whether in private life or in a meeting
convened for business. His death in the
prime of his years and usefulness is much
to be regret-ted.
He was born in New York city, in the
year 1824. His father was a merchant
and his mother a woman of refinement
and culture, who gave him his preparatory
education. In 1849 he became a student-
in what is known now as IIIC College of
the City of New York. He graduated in
1854. One of his most intimate college
friends was Theodore Tiltou.
His health being bad Mr. Moulton re-
luctantly gave up the idea of either read-
ing for admission to the Bar, or entering
the Military academy at West Point. and
took a business position. By 1861 he
had risen to be a partner in the firm which
had first secured his services, and con-
tiuucd to devote his superior energy and
sagacity to the enlargement of the busi-
ness of the house, until the great scandal
interrupted his connection with it and
finally severed a long and profitable part-
nership.‘
His intimacy with Tilton led to that
gentleman's acquaiuting him with the
story of his alleged great wrong he had
received from Beecher. The communica-
tion was made on December 30, 1870.
Mr. Moulton acted upon it promptly, and
arranged a meeting between Beecher and
Tilton, at which both agreed to constitute
him their friend, and to entrust to his
care letters and other documents relating
to the scandal, then, or to be in existence.
Thus made the “mutual friend” of the
parties, he managed to keep the scandal
repressed during four years. When, at
the end of that time, he refused to return
certain letters of Beccher’s and his mo-
tives were questioned in consequence, he
broke the maid secrecy. This resulted
in his being made the principal witness in
the great crim con. trial. in which Tilion
sued Beecher for one hundred thousand
dollars damages. He was indicted sub-
sequently, at Mr. Beecher’s instance, but
proceedings were quashed. A suit brought
against him by Miss Edna. Dean Procter
cost him nine thousand dollars to settle.
It grew out of a blank space being left for
the name of a woman involved in an
alleged confession by Beecher to MouIt-on.
General Butler drew up the document.
By the way. during the late presidential
canvass Moulton earnestly supportid
Butler.
The scandal and its disagreeable experi-
ences past, Mr. )Ioulton resumed busi-
v ess. He was eminently successful, and
at the time of his death owned two estates
in the country. That at Narragansett was
in the ownership of which he took great-
delight. Latclylic had a partner. The
principal business of the firm was the im-
portation of salt. '
Of his two children one died in infancy.
The other, who late] graduated at Bar—
vard is now a stut ent in Columbia Law
School, New York. Mrs. Moultou survives
her husband.
The deceased gentleman was noble and
striking in personal appearance. He was
tall and well built. His auburn hair was
abundant; his blue eyes were large and
expressive. He had the facility 'of ener-
giziug people about him, and his sanguine
nature assotiated with the brotherly
benevolence of his disposition, was very
helpful to many business men of the.
metropolis who now mourn his loss.
