A CusrosIrY.-The Augusta (Me.)
Journal has the following: Twenty
years ago, or in the spring Of ls49, the
Superintendent of the burial ground in
Hallowell, Captain John Beemsn, who
is still one Of tho business men Of that
city, purchased a number of silver pop.
lar trees, averaging about two inches ! n
diameter at tho ground and five in
hight, and tra~nsplauted them in the
cemetery. They iourishsd finely, and
have become large, adding very much
to the beauty Of the cemstery. A few
DAYS ago, one Of these trees was cut
down by the direction of tho present
Superintendent, Colonel W. s. Haines,
for the reason that its branches were
broken of by the great ice storm last
winter, and the tree ruined. The fallen
tree measured 81 inches in diameter
and was about 40 feet in length.
Embedded 10 the centre Of the trunk
was found the original tree, OF the
same size as when transplanted 20 years
ago, but minus the bark. All the
growth of the tree had been outside
Of, and apparently detached o the
original. The core, or original tree,
was loose, and fell from its sepulchre
when the trunk was being split, though
IL was as full of life as when transplant
ed. Upon the original tree, which is
about Eve feet long and two inches IN
diameter at the largest end, were ten
knots, showing that number Of limbs
to have been sawed of when it was
set out. The marks Of the saw are dis
tinct as IL made yesterday. This curl
Gus freak OF nature may be seen at the
store Of Captain Beeman, in Hallowell:
It Is genuine curiosity, and worthy OF
a place In the States cabinet. we
doubt II a similar specimen can be pro-

CARSON CITY ITEMS.

From the Appeal OF this mornins.l
The first locomotive for the Carson
and Virginia Railroad was landed upon
the depot grounds near the Mint, il
Carson, last evening.
Nor RsPoRrKp.-The party in pursuit
of the Lake Tahoe bighwayman have
not yet reported. BY their not return.
ing it is thought they have kept tha
trail and are yet in pursuit.
ArrsNPr TO Srop TnE SrAGE.-We
are informed that when the Reno aud
Carson stage, which arrived here OF lol
o'clock last evening, was about six
miles from Carson, q nan caught the
leaders and stopped them. The driver
fred hi, pistol at the fellow, whipped
his horses at about the same time they
broke away from the fellow, and the
stage went on its way withou. further
molestation.
Tue CHILD who was brought to town
by its mother when the party was halted
by highwayman, and which, with its
mother, was thrown from the carriage,
died yesterday. II was a little girl IL
months old. It is thought the injuries
it received, though they were not
deemed serious at the time, FASTENED its
death.

questions, and being one of the latter

THE SOLAR EcLlpsE.-Fhe eclipse
to-day will be partial throughout the
whole extent Of North America. The
places where it will be total are con-
fined to q narrow belt about a hundred
and fifty miles wide,~ extending in a south
easterly direction across the continent.
The phenomenon is looked foras curious
ly interesting, and is awaited with impa-
thence by men of science. ln this sec
ton tho eclipse will only be partial.
Astronomical calculations indicate that
in the latitude Of San Francisco land
of course about the same at this place.
the partial eclipse begins in the after
noon at l:26, is at its greatest at 2;32,
and ends at 1898, and will obscure over
one half of the diameter Of the suns
disk.

CUBAN FIRE FLiEs.-Very ine speci-
mems Of these magnificent insects have
recently been brought from Cuba to the
naturalists Of Salem, Massachusetts,.
These specimens wefs brought alive
from Cuba, having been fed on sugar
and water. The insects are from an
inch and a quarter to two inches long,
Of a dark brown color, aud the lami-
nous emanations issue from two spots,
apparently upon the head, back Of the
eyes, but really situated upon the sides
Of the thora1 or middle section OF the
body, and upon the abdomen. The
light is sufficient to allow a person &c
read when the insect is held near the
printed page. 1t is stated that the ligh'
is so brilliant as to affect the sight, ant
when q person has looked at the insect
for some time other and artificial lights
appear Of a deep red.

Among the penalties Of ofice-holding
in this country, one Of the severest is
the constant inroad made on the time
Of the public fancsionary. This is ss.
pecially the case with such public SER
wants as have Offices in their gift /; and,
Of course, the President of the Repub-
lie in this regard is "the best abused
man alive" Tho post Of case is a pri-
vate station always, whatever the post
Of honor may be. The man who has
no Offices or p~erquisitss to distribute
may stay at home in repose, but no who
has patronage in his gift, or possesses
influence over those who make appoint
ments, is hunted to the mountains, to
the seaside, or wherever else he may
betake himself in the vain hope OF
quiet. The nuisance next in order to
ofice.sesking is the infiction of advice.
On all subjects, political, financial,
moral and Industrial, there are doctors
ready to prescribe to the Official what
he should do, aud what not. As every
man recommends a never.failing PAN
acea, of course he is indignant If bis
prescription is not followed, and bad.
gers the unlucky official with a persist
euce which deserves successful the sue
cess of the applicant or counselor were
the only thing to be considered. We won
der sometimes at the want Of d~elicsey
with which many "borers" pursue
their victims. An accomplished Office
seeker or project promoter il imperviou'
to the indications which wovld drive I
modest man away. Nothing but MOI
pure and simple, can discourage him
and even after denial he returns to the
charge, either directly or indirectly. i
ought to be understood that public
business should never be introduced
upon a mans private hours, or men
toned, unless he himself invites 1t
Authors, scientific men and others whit

the interruption Of lion-hunters. No
only their leisure but their business
hours are invaded; and hence it is nj
wonder that they so often get thu
reputation Of being " crusty," haught,
or ill-hamored. If those who ammo!

THE BALTIMoRE OYSTER TRADE.

The canning Of oysters and fruit is a
business vigorously and extensively
prosecuted in Baltimore. II is said
that nearly 1000, 900 bushels Of oysters
are annually brought to this market
from the Maryland and Virginia waters,
recurring the services Of over 1000
boats, of an average tonnage Of so tons
each. The boats bring from 100 to
$500 bushels each, making about one
trip per week. To do this, parties are
engaged in the vicinity Of the oyster
beds to catch the biyalyes and have
them in readiness on the arrival OF the
vessels. There are from 80 TO 100
houses 10 this city engaged in the pack
ing and canning Of oysters, employing
altogether from 1000 to 5000 hands.
It is estimated that some $40, O00, 900
are invested in the business in and ad-
iscent to Baltimore, and that the annual
product is worth about $4,000, 900.
The two largest establishments for
packing and canning oysters are those
Of Thomas Kensett h Co. and G. S.
| Malby. In the last named the oysters
are put in cans raw, and packed in
cans with ice, and shipped to the West.
They are generally re-packed with lee
on reaching Pittsburg. In this house
from 5000 to 5000 bushels are packed
per day, requiring $50 persons in the
various departments Of the establish
ment. $50 eolored men and 100 whites
are engaged in opening the oysters, for
which they receive 20 cents per gallon.
Some of them become so expert that
they can open from Is to 20 gallons per
day Of about seven hours.
In the establishment Of Kensett i Co.,
the cooked or steamed oyster i, canned,
and when oysters are out OF season
fruits are canned. In the oyster season,
about 800 openers, principally German
girls, are employed, most Of whom open
about 10 gallons daily, for which they
receive 10 cents per gallon. Children
