TIE PuLU TREE.-A writer in the 14tta,
making notes of travel in the Sandwich Is
lands, speaks of the pulu tree thus:
The pulu tree is a species of Fern, RESENT
bling the common fern very mnch in appear
ance, but growing to hight of from fifteen
to twenty-five feet. 1t has few branches
spreading out at the top with broad leaves
like the palm tree. Its trunk is very thick,
and covered with heavy bark. A good
sized tree is five feet in circumference. 1t
grows in wet, marshy soil, and is usually
covered with a dense growth of vines and
creepers. When it attains certain degree
of maturity, the leaves begin to wither and
the trunk to decay. The pulu is taken chiefly
from the top Of the trunk, where-it adheres
to hard sappy substance of about the size
of a cocoa nut 1t grows upon this head
like hair, protected by light covering of
bark. When first taken out the pulu is as
soft and glossy as silk.
1t is also found in small quantities, where
the branches join the main trunk. Picking
pulu Is very slow work. Two pounds is a
very good average for each tree. In some
places the head of the tree is nearly pryed
| out with a chisel, while, in others, the prac-
tlce is to cut down the whole tree, with an
axe, within two feet of the ground. In ei-
ther case, the tree sprouts again; but it is
uncertain which practice facilitates the Sc
cond growth most. When completely cut
down, the tree requires three to five years
for new growth.
Pulu is taken from the tree in very damp
state, and requires to be exposed for several
days In the hot sun, in order to be thoroughly
dried. 1t is not often it can be dried in the
mountains when it is gathered, but it has to
be carried to dry place. From these noun
talns the pulu is packed in mat bags, and
carried down to- Waimea when it is dried,
pressed into bales and shipped to Honolulu
The natives make very good wages picking
pulu, as each member of the family is avail
able for the purpose. They are paid four or
five cents per pound for gathering it. The
men cut down the trees and cut out the
heads, the women collect it, the children
pick it over and attend to the drying.

RELICS OF GIGANTIC RAcE-Not long
since, the remains of a human head, of an
enormous size, were found in n lead of Pc
ruvian guano at Petersburg, Va. Recently,
in load of guano received at Norfolk, there
was found the vertebra of human being.
which was about twice the size OF that por-
ton of the human frame to be found in those
now living. This would seem to be proof of
the existence at some anterior time in Peru
of a race of giants. Various bones have
also been found of great size, all of which
have been pronounced human

DEATH OF MAJOR ORMSBY.-The death of
Maj. Ormsby is an occurrence that requires
something more than passing notice at our
hands. He was born in Mercer county, Pa,
Sept. Sd, 1914. He came to California
ACROSS the plains in lS49. Recrossed them
again in 80 and '55. During his residence
in California he was extensively engaged in
staging and various other kinds of business.
In April, 1857, he came down to Genoa
Carson Valley, and there engaged in busi-
ness. Since that time his name has been
prominently connected with everything of
moment transpiring in Western Utah, whe
ther in financial or political point of view
He was the first man who conceived and car
Tied into execution the plan of applying to
Congress fo- separate Territorial organiza
tion. After the subject was broached, the
necessity as well rs the probability of fnally
succeeding in obtaining the request enlisted
many in its favor. The future history of
Nevada Territory will bear honorable testi-
mony to the memory Of Maj. Ormsby AS a
man he possessed those positive qualities OF
character which eminently fitted him to ex-
ert an influence in frontier settlement
Energetic and untring in carrying out what
ever he attempted, he sometimes arrayed
formidable opposition against him, yet he
seemed to always be equal to any emergency
AT times impetuous as torrent, yet as easily
Influenced by those he loved as a child, he
bore, and justly, the name of being a warm
friend and bitter enemy. Courageous as a
lion he died fighting bravely till the last
ale sleeps his last sleep,
He has fought his last battle!'
In our intercours with him we have al
ways found him to be a man who would not
discard friend without cause, and in griei
we render tribute to his memory. He has
left an amiable wife and interesting daugh-
ter to mourn his loss. "May he who tenn
pers the wind to the shorn lamb comfort
them in thsir sad bereavement

How IT WAS Done IN ARKANsAs.-The re-
cent brawls in the House at Washington re-
mind us of story we heard in Arkansas,
several years since, which has never been in
print. 1t is no disrespect to the present en-
lighted and genial State of Arkansas to say
that in its iucipient or territorial DAYS it was
rather trough" 1t was very common
thing for man to leave the bosom of his
family IN sound health in the morning, and
returned dead at night. Cuttings, slashings
and shooting were of daily occurrence. 1t
was dangerous to be safe The Legislature
was chiefly composed of bulles and black
legs, and the scenes enacted by them were
often very eccentric. A fight arose about
something in the "house" one day. The
Hon. Mr.. Bangor, of Napoleon, called the
Hon. Mr. Slangef, of Helena, liar. The
Hon. Mr.. Slanger retorted with bullet,
which took the Hon. Mr.. Dangers left ear
Both then sprang into the center of the hall
with drawn bowie knives. The Speaker
says, "By G., we must have fair play in
this businessP' and rushed out in the floor
with q cooked pistol in one hand and tre-
mendous "toothpick" in the other and in
tones of thunder commanded the Represen-
tatives to form a ring. A ring was formed,
and, in the classics of the time, the comba-
tants event in.' They cut each other
frightfully, and for quite spell it was diff
ficult to tell which was the better man.
But finally Mr.. Bangor, by an adroit thrust,
cut oft Slanger's head, and instant death
was the result. Mr.. Slanger's remains being
removed and order restored, Mr.. Bangor rose
and said, at is my painful duty to announce
to the House the death of Hon. Wm SLAM
ger, of Helena. He was good at draw poker
and faro, and handled the toothpick beauti-
fully. He wasn't of no account at legsla-
tin. He was midd!in' on hosses. He had
no family, 'ceptin his brother Bill, the best
poker player on Red River. l move resolu
tions of respect be passed and forwarded to
his brother Bills" They were passed.

GEN. CAss.-This venerable statesman
was born in Exeter, New Hampshire, on the
9th OF October, 1882, and is therefore in
his seventy-eighth year. 1t is said that he
never had an overcoat on his back but once
IN his life, an instance that occurred few
months ago during a moment of partial
bodily prostration. He has never yet swaI-
lowed the first drop of intoxicating liquor

SONG.

As by the shore, at break of day,
A vanquishevi chief expiring lay.
Upon the sansfs, with broken sword,
He traced his farewell to the free;
And, there the last unfinished word
He dying wrote, was ''Eiberty''
At night sea-bird shrfeked the Enell
OF him who thus for freedoms fell;
The words he wrote, ere evening came,
We're covered by the sounding sea-
So pass away the cause and name
OF him who dies for Liberty.-MooRE.
