Recently. a young traveller took up quarters
ut the Black Lion Inn, Broad Street, Reading
England, having come up by the great West
ern Railway from Bath, intending to proceed
to Redhll, on the Southeastern line, but, ar
irving too late for that purpose, stopped for
the night at the aforementioned inn. Being
very restless and uneasy under the circumstan-
ces, attention was excited, particularly 10y the
landlady, widow, who began to be suspicious
of the honesty of the intentions Of her guest.
She expressed these suspicious to one or two
others in house, and eventually to police
man, requesting him to keep watch during the
night. just before locking up the inn, about
l | o'clock, the traveller came down stairs and
complained of having Il severe toOthache, want
ing half pint of beer. The hostess thought
this very strange, but recommended some brar-
dy. During this proceeding the landlady had
some misgivings as to the SEX of her ledger :;
and more fearful than ever of the safety of her
property under such circumstances, having
very lately been robbed to some extent. a very
close watch was kept up during the night. In
the morning policeman was called in, and
the Traveller was given in charge as being in
disguise for an unlawful purpose. Proceeding
to the police station, he was very closely i'll
tcrrogatcd. a confession clIsucd 1t was Il
woman in disguise. y young lady who had
run away from Bath. under an engagement to
IL young gentleman, to meet him the next NOR
ming at Rcgatc, there to be married. The re-
suit of this expose has not been made public,
bat We believe her story has proved to be cor
rect, and that she has been restored to her
friends at Bath Her name has not, we believe,
transpiIed, but it is whispered abroad that she
is the daughter of "a nobleman.-Osford Jour-
nal.

1HE BEURRE CLAIRGEAU Plaintiffs is a
new French variety, originated by M. Clair

ed, both i'll Massachusetts and New York.
gives promise of being a valuable acquisition,
Col. Wilder sent us the following description
among his notices of new pears that promise
well.
"Size-extra large. Form oblong, ovate
pyriform, outline little irregular. Stem
short and stout, set obliquely, and without
much depression. Calyx open, segments
short, moderately sunk Color browuish
green, coarsely clotted and almost entirely
covered with russell, sometimes intermixei
with dull red on the sunny side. Flesh
melting and juicy, with an agreeable sub-ac.d
flavor, resembling the Baroaae de MeIlo. but
with more aroma. Class--goo6; will proba-
bly, prove very good.
"Ihc Bearre ClairgeGa has fruited in sew.
eral gardens i'll the vicinity of Boston and
New York land promises to be great acaui j.
ton. The tree is strong, thrifty grower, either
on the pear or ounce root, and comes early
into bearing, many tlees which were grated
in the spring of lo5l being now full OF fruit
buds.
Mr.. Cabot, President of the Massachusetts,
horticultural Society, speaks Of it as folio VS.,
i'll Hooey's Magaztae OF March last:
$50 far as an opinion, formed by testing
one or two specimens, and these from import
ed trees of the first year of bearing, is justi-
liable, this pear promises to be, on account of
its size, beauty and quality, highly respecta-
bic acquisition. 1t is new pear raised from
seed by NJ. Clairgeau, at Nantes, of yellow
russell color, with darker russell spects, and
little red in the sun; very large with short
very thick stem; calyx small and open; flesh
yellowlsh white, tender, half melting, Of
very pleasant sub-aci flavor, ripening last of
October and November; tree a strong grower,
wood stout, and appears to come early into
bearing. '-Horticulturist.

ORIo1N OF THE WoRD HuNkER.-A cores
pondent of the New York Post, having his
attention directed to the sins of huHkerism,
has traced the word itself to the following
amusing origin:
81 think that have discovered the 'true
origin of the word bunker. Mr.. Curzon, in
his pleasant book on Armenia, says: Hum
kiar is one of the recognized titles Of the Sui
tan of Turkey and of other eastern soyereigns.
The treaty of Hunkiar Slellessi, which made
so great sensation in its day, was 80 called
from the name of place on the Asiatic shores
of the Bosphorus. The name means the
Blood Drinkers Stairs AN appellation at
this time equally suited to either of the high
contracting parties Hunkiar means blood
drinker.' We all know that the sweat is
blood, and your true bunker lives on that
which, by an alchymical process, that was
quite unknown to the great masters of the
Cabala. Cold said Joseph Boraparte, sin
its last analysis, is the sweat of the poor and
the blood of the brave. bunker il an Oren-
tai word, and amongst the Or'entals the few
are masters of the many. The process of get
ting the word into our language is very simple.
The first man that used it i'll America proba-
bly, did SO with absolute correctness, and wrote
1t Hunkiar. The next one, or some one not
much later, whose Turkish education had
been neglected, put it down plain Hunkar;
and the change from to in the lasi syllable
was the cas- est of all things, and also one Of
the most common. For example, almost ev-
cry newspaper in the United States, when
speaking OF one Of the Russian ports on the
Baltic, says Rerel, whereas the name of the
place is Hecal. Beside, Hunkiar is sometimes
spelt Unkiar by the Turks themselves and
if they are not agreed as to the photography
of Their own words, little liberty ought to
