SHADE TREES.
Qualities OF Trees and Hints for
Street Planting.

'"Pci plcpoIcu Wy Hllam oaunueTS,
Of Public Grounds at
Washington, and submitted to the
Board Of Aldermen
"Thc principal qualities that tree
should possess to render it suitable for
street planting are the following:
!. A compact stateiness and sym
mctry Of growth, as distinguished from
a wide.sprcading or pendant form. so
that the stem may reach sufficient hight
TO allow Of a free circulation OF air be-
low the branches.
2. An ample supply Of expansive
foliage, Of early spring verdure, aud
rich and varied in the colors and tints
assumed during the ripening Of the
leaves in autumn.
3 Heathincss, so far as being ex-
empt from constitutional diseases, as
well as from those maladies frequently
cngcndcred in some species, By pccu-
larity Of soils and atmospheric impur-
tiles
4. Cleanliness, characterized by a
pergistcncy of foliage during summer;
freedom from fading flowers, and ex-
emption from the attacks Of insects.
8. 1t should be easily transplantcd.
of moderately vigorous growth, and
not liable to throy up shoots from the
roots or lower portions Of TIE stem. A
tree Of extremely rapid growth is gen
orally short lived, and should be always
avoided.
6. The branches should be elastic
rather than brittle, that they may the
better withstand heavy storms. And.
lastly, there should be no offensive
odor froIn flowers or foliage.

THE AMAZON.
Return of tho Cornell University Exploring
Party.

The scientific world was thrown into quite
futter yesterday by the arrival of the Brazilian
mail steamer Merrimac, which arrived in New
York on Wednesday night with Professor
Frederick c. Hartt and party, who have been
on an exploring expedition up through the Val
ley of the Amazon. The vessel now lies at the
pier at Harbecks stores, Brooklyn. She had on
board a number of boxes containing large col
lection of geological specimens. fossil fishes and
mollusks. This collection is designed for Cor
nell University, whittier it was sent yesterday
IN charge of Mr. w; A. Wilmot one OF the sen-
tlemen composing the exploring party.
The details of the expedition, as narrated by
the explorers are very interesting and import
ant as they tend to disprove Professor AgassiZ's
South American glacial theory The party left
this city in June last, aud have been absent six
months. Arriving at st. Carlos Ia the mouth
of the Amazon river, they embarked on board a
steamer for Obydos, to which point vessels ply
regularly. A small vessel was here chartered,
and they proceeded farther west up the great
river, occasionally diverging from their course
to explore the Xinga, Tapajoz Tocantins, Pa
caxa, Gsrupatuba, Ironbeas, Canoma and other
tributaries of the Amazon.
At many points on the tributaries navigation
was extremely difficult and small boats had to
be used Vegetation is remarkably luxuriant,
and some of the rivers flow for miles beneath Il
perfect tunnel or arch formed by the branches
Of the trees meeting overhead The branches
are intertWined with vines so thickly that it is
impossible to see the sky through them. Fre-

iniest these jungles.
Professor Hartt aud his companions encouu-
tered no little danger and hardship, but what
they saw and the important knowledge which
they gained amply repaid them for their trouble
Discoveries made by Professor Hartts party, il
il said, tend in great measure to dispute Pro-
fessor Agasszs theory. Professor HarGt's party
are of the opinion that the scratches" sup
posed TO have been made by glaciers ages ago
are owing to entirely different causes. 1t ia
said that Professor Hartts geological specimens
and fossil mollusks and fishes comprise the
largest collection of the kind ever brought at
one time from Brazil.-N. \. Herald

A ST. LOUIS SENSATION.

Gra n Concerted Attnck of an Elephant Upon
n Brick House.
The Missouri Republican of the 2lst instant
has the following
A sensation of the first water swept East
st. Louis yesterday morning, of so unique and
exciting character that it will not be forgotten
for many long day. At about halt-past
o'clock yesterday morning Mr.. Edward Brad
ley was awakened by his wife, with the intel
ligence that burglars we're attempting to effect
an entrance to the house. The upper portion
of the dwelling is occupied by the family for
sleeping apartments, while one OF the lower
rooms serves as a room for an old lady named
FlyDD, member of the household.
On learning that some cause for alarm really
existed, Mr.. b. arose, and grasping huge
cavalry sword, stationed himself at the window.
While thus waiting a sudden crash was heard
from below, as IL the whole side of the house
bad been jammed ill., and at the same time the
old lady was heard to scream piercingly, as If
wild with fear. The window and the bureau
near it were suddenly dashed into the middle of
the room. She sprang from her bed and seized
what she supposed tn be the retreating leg of a
man. 1t had queer feel, however, and was
drawn outward with violence, aud the old lady
having advanced close to the shattered window,
raw TO her horror the towering bulk of an
enormous elephant. Unable to overcome the
shock, she fell almost insensible to the floor.
At this stage of affairs Mr.. B.. with his drawn
sabre, started TO the rescue. The stairs leading
| below are on the outside of the house, aad as
| he descended he encountered the elephant
WhS appeared determined to ascend the steps.
| few blows of the steel blade on the trunk
| cowed the huge brute and he commenced re-
| treat. He backed out of the yard aud took a
porthwardly course until he arrived at a saloon
owned by Mr.. Charles Scbaffner, at which place
| he stopped, took general observation of the
| surroundings, then making desperate charge
| he sbivered large door to atoms. This last
| affair was the close of his damage. He wan
| dered off through the silent streets, and at day
| light was found near the southeastern depot
| dead, having 1t is said died from the effects oi
| the cold. The explanation of the business was
soon ascertained. The elephant belonged to q
mensserie which was going east on the Van
oalia Railroad. The elephant was left at dark
| by the keeper in railroad car, being wa:
| supposed securely locked in. During the night
however, he broke the chain which fastened hi:
leg, tore down the door, and started on hi,
| voyage of death. He was an immense brute
| and his carcass was viewed with intense curl
osity by the citizens during the day. 1t is sale
| that the original oost of the animal was nearly
| $1,000.

THE COAL TRADE.

A CeprrnI suspension In All the Anthracite
Goal Hestous--The Complete Tonnage for the
Week and the Year. -Qnotatiens, Etc.
r Contrary to all expectations the General Coun-
ell of the W, B. A., which was held on Thurs-
day at Tamaqua, agreed upon a general suspeh-
sion, 10 take effect January 10, 1871. 1t was
not generally supposed that r,d sne 1'Ivr nite it
Wyoming in general strike, Tor the reason
that Wyoming would not UNI e VIZ SchuYklll
when begged to do so at the time OF tne 5cnuyl-
kill strike last summer. But 1t appears that the
council agreed almost unanimously to general
suspension, under the impression that II VIII oe
for their own benefit next year. To certain
extent it is to their interest, as will be seen
when the whole state of the case is considered.
The strike is not, like the late one Tor the
purpose of resisting certain Immediate de-
mand but has for its end wise provision Tor
the future Its main end is uudersto cd to be
the fixing of the basis for the next year. BY
means of a short suspension, which Is much
better name for the present demonstration, tue
different regions can be made TO cooperate
more easily. As now understood, the suspension
is not intended to continue for an indefinite
time, but when the basis is fixed-probaOly
within week two after-and when con-
promise has been effected in the Wyoming re-
gion with the large corporations, which the
latter undoubtedly expect, work will be re-
sumed in all the counties. A strike in the
winter at all events is no very great matter
Then again the time of the suspension is de-
layed until the 10th of January, so that ample
time will be given to all who wish to do SO to
lay in full supply.
Under these circumstances great advance in
the price of coal will be entirely unnecessary,
and can be avoided if the people will act wisely.
OF course spectators will desire to take advan-
tage of the state of affairs, and under frail pre-
texts try to raise panic and run up prices i'm
mensely If this effort is steadily discounte-
nanced by the public there can but little come
of it. OF course some advance will take place
but this need not be so great but that it can be
borne without great Inconvenience to the
majority.
The following is the complete summary OF the
trade for the past week and year, as reported
for the Potts vile Miners Journal of to-day

THE DEAD KIT BURN.
Funeral Of the Late Sporting Man

The mortal remains of Christopher Keybourn,
better known as "Kit Burn" were yesterday
afternoon borne to their last resting-place in
Calvary Cemetery, from the house No 81
Sackett street, Brooklyn. The excitement in
the neighbOrhood was most intense, and crowds
gathered around the house for sOme time
previous 10 the hour set for the funeral. The
crowds poured into the place aud gaZed in the
face of the dead with much apparent reve-
renee as if the deceased were high-toned,
honorable, moral and religious light in the com
munity. The casket which contained the corpse
was of polished black walnut with elaborate
silver mountngs, and on a silver cross inside
the lid were the name, date of the death of de-
ceased and age-thirty-Dine years aud eleven
months. The body was enclosed in neat and
very expensive shroud of fine white serge, with
deep front OF quilted satin extending the en-
tire length.
The company were of curiously mixed cha
racter. There were several elegantly attired
females present, great many well-dressed
men, and sprinkling of Fourth ward roughs,
not near so many, however, as one might expect
10 find there. They were very orderly, and
smoked their cigars in the hall, and when the
demjjohn of brandy was produced did not de-
cline to take nip"
There were ten pall-bearers, each wearing on
the lapel of his coat black aud white rosette
and white satin streamer, on which was printed
1--WE mourn our loss"
No funeral services were performed at the
house, and about O'Clock the funeral cortege,
which consisted of large number of carriages,
started for Calvary Cemetery. Old Bill Tovee
came to take a last look at his old friend and
benefactor, and Temerked that he ''never knew
him commit bad or mean action;" Harry
Williams was there, and Walter Stirling, both
well known in the Fourth ward as famous
bruisers. Tom Dunn, too, put in an appear
ance; Jack Musgrove and George Burns, OF
pugilistic celebrity, Tom Norton, and large
number of others of more or less renown, who
followed the corpse to the grave.-N Y. Herald

An Arkansas editor, who is either very fond
of joke, or has had sad experience of the
responsibilities of his position, lately Issued
the paper" without editorial matter but with
a paragraph at the head of the column IN which
be declared that the wives of his subscribers
had so occupied his attention in calling TO show
their babies that he had no time to attend to
anything else
Professor Smith, who recently contributed
valuable paper to the Baltimore Sun on the
treatment of hydrophobia, wrote letter to the
same journal a few days ago, in which he
declares himself out of patience with those
who are superstitous enough to believe that
there is any virtue whatever in the mad-dOg
stone possessed by resident of Rectortown,
Fauquier county, Va. 'Ihis stOne," says the
Professor, lis probably of slate or chalky
nature, and porous. When dry it will adhere
10 a moist part as such a substance will to the
tongue, and fall off when saturated with mois-
ture. That it has any affinity for the poison of
the rabid animal is too ridiculous to merit
serious discussion. The evil resulting from
belief in remedies so absurd is that 1t pre-
vents the use of efficient means"

FROM WASHINGTON.

General SchencIt's Instructions and the Ala
bamR Claims.
Special DesDotGh 10 The HueptTig Telegraph
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-It is stated that
General Schenck, like Mr.. Motley, will be
allowed to write his own instructions as Minister
to England, subject TO approval by the Presi-
dent The British Minister states that he has
reason to believe that no further concessions
will be made by Great Britain to the United
States on the question of the Alabama claims.
In the last convention England, he says, made
concessions which at the beginning of the ne
gotiations she had no idea of doing; but this
thing will not be repeated. From
this it would appear that any further negotia-
tions on the subject must come from the United
States. II is believed that the Government will
assume and pay the individual claims growing
out of the Alabama business, and then take its
own time to settle with England.
Usumner and the Fresident.l
A new effort has been made to settle the diffe-
rences between Senator Sumner and the Presi-
dent but without success, as both gentlemen are
averse to a reconciliation.
The Weather

During the holidays
Judge Kelley
will prepare strong speech in favor of the
San Domingo annexation project, which he will
deliver in the House when Senator Mortons
resolution comes up after the recess.
General Logan's Chances for tho senate.
A private des patch received here from Spring

chances for election as Senator from that State
are improving, and that he will be elected over
all competitors.
