A Tree Worth $4,000.

A remarkable tree was brought to New York
in the month Of January, 1866, from q Western
State. 1t was black walnut, seventy feet long,
measuring 4500 feet board measure: but when
cut into veneers, il would be thirty times that,
making $4,000 feet, which at twenty cents
would be worth $4,000. The cost OF cutting it
and placing it in store for sale would be about
$70O. Black walnut for the last six years, has
been gradually taking the lead of mahogany,
and is worth as much now as mahogany was
formerly. The figure most sought for at present
is a stripe, which seems to be formed by the
sap, casting dark and light shades alternately
through the tree, which when worked, makes
the most beautiful furniture that is manuiac-
tured.

MISCELLANY.

A GREAT MAN-George Lippard, in
his work called "The Nazarine," thus
speaks of Gen. Jackson: "He was a
man! Well, remember the day wait
ed upon him. He sat there in his arm
chair-I can see him now. We are told
of the public distress-the manufactuf-
cas- ruined--in eagles shrouded in Grape,
which were carried at the head of twenty
thousand men into Independence Square.
He heard US all. We begged him to
leave the deposits where they were, to up
hold the great bank at Philadelphia Still
he did aot say word. At last one of
our members, more fiery than the rest,
intimated that if the bank was crushed
rebellion might follow. Then the old
man rose-I can see him yet. F.
"Come," he shouted in voice Of
thunder, as his clenched hand was raised
high above his white hair. "Come, with
bayonets in your hands instead of your
petitions-surround the White House
with your legions-I am ready for you |!
With the people. at my back, whom your
gold can neither awe nor buy, l will swing
you up around the Capitol, each one Of
you on gibbet as high as Haman's."
'sWhen think" says the author, /" of
that one man standing there at Washing
ton, battling against all the powers Of
bank and panic combined, betrayed by
those in whom he trusted-assailed by all
that the snake of malice could hiss or the
fend of falsehood howl-when think of
that one man placing his back against the
rock, and folding his arms for the blow,
while he uttered the vow," will not
swerve one inch from the course / have
taken," I must confess that the records
Of Rome-nay, the proudest day OF
Cromwell or Napoleon-cannot furnish
an instance of will like that of Andrew
Jackson, when he placed life and soul,
and fame on the hazard of die for the
peoples welfare"

ADvERTIsE.-If you want business, ad-
vertise. If you are halter, make your
name so familiar with the public, that
when man looks at his..old hat, and says
to himself, +" must have new hat" he
will think of you If you are tailor,
make yourself so conspicuous thata man
will think Of you every time he brushes
his coat. When man looks at his boots
this dusty weather, and says to himself,
81 must go and buy pair of patent lea
tbers," have your name so familiar to him
that he will think of your place Of bust
ness just as soon as he does Of bis boar
ding house when he is hungry. 1t is the
same with everything and everybody who
advertises extensively. Their names be-
come familiar with their goods and mer-
chandise, that all who want what they
sell, are drawn, as if by instinct, to their
shops and stores. There is nothing like
advertising. If you do not believe it try
it and be convinced.

ExpuRGAroRY TEST OArHs.-Dudley
Field, Esq, in an argument before the
Supreme Court of the United States, at
Washington, on the unconstitutionality
of the test oath embodied in the Consti-
tuition of Missouri, made the following
reference to English history:
England passed through all her chan
ges, from the Plantagenets to the Sover-
eigns Of the House Of Hanover; she
swung to and fro in the throes of bloody
and cruel revolutions; she saw her kings
beheaded or dethroned, dynasties taken
up or laid aside, governments Of kings,
parliamcnts and lord protectors, and des-
olating armies sweeping over her island,
without eyer, so far as I can discover,
subjecting the vanquished to the injus-
tice Of expurgatory oaths. 4
The Van Buren press., 1866-06-30

SENSIBLE WoRDs.-The New York
Tribune to- day, in speaking of jeff Da-
Wis, uses the following language:
"If Mr. Davis is to be tried, as it
seems to us he ought to be, we can i'm
pgine no reason for deferring his trial.
If he has been unjustly proclaimed an
assassin he should somehow be relieved
from that blasting inculpation. And il
he is not to be tried, but is merely held
until public sentiment will admit of his
liberation, we protest against the policy
as unworthy. The people of this coun-
try are not children. Even If the object
of his liberation were to render him the
sole idol Of the late rebels, making them
forget all his faults in their sympathy for
his condition, it has already been fully
achieved. Let us have an end Of shams.
Either try him or let him go"

some English officers camping in the ";
cinity Of Mulkapoor, went out tiger hun
ting, and bagged splendid tigress. While
returning home with the trophy, they
found in secluded spot, in the lee Of
Jagged rock, what evidently was the lair
of a tiger, for there lay bones of both
human and brute kind, and shreds and
rags of clothing. More interesting than
all, however was the discovery Of tiny
kitten, not more than fortnight old,
coiled in corner, winking and blinking
and gapping at the intruders. The hunt
ers at once decided that this must be the
cub Of the beast they had slain, and will
ingly took charge Of the little orphan.
Tiger kittens are not captured every
day, so when the, hunters returned to
their quarters, the excitement in their
tent was considerable. The newly ac-
quired kitten was provided with tiny
dog collar and chain, and attached to the
tent pole, round which it gamboled to the
delight of an audience numbering nearly
twenty. About two hours after the cap
ture, however, and just as it was growing
dark, the good people in the tent were
checked in the midst of their hilarity by
sound that caused the bravest heart to
beat rather irregularly.
1t was the roar or rather the combina-
ton of shrek and roar peculiar to the Ii
ger when driven mad with rage. In an
instant the gamboling kitten became eve
ry inch tiger, and strained, with all its
baby strength at the te1er, while it repli-
ed, with loud wall to the terrible voice
outside. There was something so sud
den and unearthly in the roar, that it
seemed as though the great tiger brought
in an hour before had come to life again.
Certainly, the tiger in question was alrea-
dy fayed, but the picture conjured up be-
came none the less pleasant for that.
There was, however, not nearly so much
time for speculation to the scared CON-
pany as writing these lines has cost; for
almost simultaneous with the roar, there
leapt sheer into the centre Of the tent,
bold tigrcss, and without deigning to no.
ticea single man there, she caught her
kidnapped baby by the nape Of its neck,
and giving it a jerk, snapped the little
chain, and then turning for the tent door
trotted off. at tull speed. After all 1t ap
peared that the little thing did not belong
to the tiger that was slain, but to the
brave mother that had tracked and reco-
vered it. Sanguinary man. eater as she
may have been, one can scarcely be sor-
ry to hear that not gun was leveled at
the great rejoicing creature as she bore
off her young one, and that she got clear
off,

A SINGULAR CAsE.--In October last,
Dallas Miller, of Savoy, a young man Of
10 years Of age, in attempting to crack .
beech-nut between his teeth, let 1t slip
and sucked it into his wind-pipe, and 90
down into his lungs. Surgeons we're
called but were unable to help him any.
At first it did not trouble him much, but
soon he had q severe cough come on that
reduced him very low. After the nut had
been on his lungs, seven weeks and three
days, he coughed it up, since which time
he has been gaining rapidly in health and
strength.
A few years ago, person in Bernads-
town got beard of rye upon his lungs
and was supposed to be failing fast with
the consumption, but he, also, in severe
coughing fit, coughed it up and soon re-
gained his health and strength Green
