the following card to the Richmond public ::
"To the Citizens Of Richmond : In her
time OF calamity, Richmond, almost without
an appeal, received aid from all parts of toe

a finger in response 10 the piteous cry that
comes up from the sufferers by the recent
floods Ia the Mississippi. This is not cree-
liable to US as men endowed with the ordi-

Cowardin propose to give an entertainment
at Virginia Hall tonight, the entire pro-
ceeds, actual expenses deducted, to go to the
suffering people of Louisiana, the horror 81
whose situation it is simply impossible to
exagserste. 1 commend the movement OF
the gentlemen just named to the favor OF the
Richmond public; will myself see shat the

Curious Trees.

Just beyond the Darbonne or Ca,casieu
river, in the parish of Calcaseu, is white
oak tree. about two and half feet in diam
eter. There are no branches for twenty
five or thirty feet up. About twelve or
fifteen feet W., pine limb or top part of
pine tree. six or eight inches III diameter,
and twelve or sixteen feet long. runs at
right angles through the centre of the tree.
sticking out about the same distance on
either side. 1t tapers a little TO one end,
where there are two or three knots, giving
it the appearance of limb or tree top.
The oak, where it passes through, is grown
closely around it, The pine is rich in t,lr-
pentine and will not decay. There is no
fork or hollow in the oak; but it has the
appearance as if hole had been made and
the pine stuck through. after which the oak
closed on it by growth. The question Is.
how did the pine get through the oak, or
the oak round the pine!
II Mallet woods there is another white
oak, of considerable size, that divides into
two prongs about one and halt feet from
the ground, which after running up, Ike
pair of bow-legs, about fifteen teet, unite IN
one round compact stem. The pTongs are
about one and d half feer in diameter: and
where they unite above, the tree is larger
than either OF them, but smaller than beth
together. A man can walk between the
two prcngs. and the tree stands on land
boundary line. Forked trees are very COM
mon; but the question here is, how did the
two prongs unite so perfectly into one stem

response to the card they have sent in by
the patient and polite doorkeeper to their
respective member or Senator Here
is the cold bloodsd professional lobby

for the pending scheme in which rests
all his hopes ana all bis money, until an

else she don't know what will become OF

here are women with CHASTITY smiles and
sunken eyes, which speak of revels by

Ike Partingt0n's Composition.

plymouth Rock being the subject given
out for the exercise of the school, the teach.
er and boys were astonished at the follow
ing luminous composition by Ike Parting
ton, which displays great historical acumen,
and most astonishing chronological facility:
Plymouth Rock.-This rock was brought
to this country in the Mayfiower, ia the year
1892, by the Pilgrims, under the direction of
Elder Osman Brewster, who afterwards
moved to Boston, and became an alderman
Of that city. 1t was on this rock that Gov
ernOr Carver first shook hands with Samoset,
who said: welcome. English !" 1t is record
ed that when Samoset came up, Governor
Carver asked him if he was a real Ingine,
or only member of the Ingine company.
The rock has long been regarded az a
famous place. The American eagle for a
great many years used to come and whet
his beak on the rock; but in 1853 Miles
Standish, in order to keep it from being
stolen, carried it and put it in front of Pill
grim Hall, where it remains at the present
time invested with great interest and an
iron fence. The fence bears the names of
all the Pilgrims IN castiron letters that can't
be rubbed out.
The work is good deal worn out bv the
illusions touching 1t that are thrown off by
Fourth of j uly orators. Plymouth Rock is
the conversion of the cellar wall of our
republican structure, paregoucally speak
ing, and the spirit of liberty sits upon it
with drawn sword IN one hand, and the
torch of freedom in the other: and if foes
invade the shore of Plymouth at high
water-for they never can get in at low
tide-they will throw this rock in their teeth.
1t is precious legacy from the past to the
present, and from it may be reckoned the
Pilgrims Progress.

The Man with Speculation in His Eve
The Sweetness of Blaine,
Washington Correspondence Chicago

Washington Correspondence Chicago TimesI
OF all men who wintered in Washington
Mr.. Speaker Blaine built himself no enc.
mics. Republican representatives went
home believing Blaine the one shining light
of the party. The Democrats remarked. as
they gave one another the final cood-by,
that 'Blaine was the only white man in the
whole Radical crowd" The Changers for
gave mister Blaine" for giving swell recep
lions and wearing broadcloth, and were
unanimous that there was something
so warmly as to make him his first choice
for the Presidency whenever the third term
idea sinks in the muddIed executive brain,
Every Cabinet officer ranks Blaine as his
immediate personal friend, and thew ran TO
him all the session to untangie department
perplexIties too complicated for their own
shallow understandings. His life was as.
tonishing the whole session. A suaye SO.
ciety leader, he was with his charming fam
lily in all their principal receptions and Wis
its. Yet he glIttered at every congressional
supper, and was up, ruddy and fresh be.
times, for an hours closeting with Grant in
the morning, or business consultation
with Delano and Robson. He was prompt
ly and persistently in his place during the
day and night sessions, and his velvet and
steel handling OF the House was a matter of
common fame. A parliamentarian whose
decisions have never been reversed, he
ruled three hundred bumptious. noisy legis-
lators easier than most men rule q small
household. OF superb mental euuipoise,
his temper slipped him but once or twice
the entire sitting. Then he craved private
pardon of those he had offended with go
courteous grace that they ached to have
him offend again.

qualifications, human intercourse is the es
ssentiAl agent -sueh -extensi0n - the con-
clusfon which almost all modern opinions
now recognize. AID in which Russian Opin-
ION and our own'are apparently in fun &C
cord. He proceeds to point out that the
facts which come under confederation are OF
striking representative interest. They rep
resent the chOleraic infection as becoming
for European Russia, and probably tending
to become for all Europe, an influence
scarcely to be called alien and rare, but at
least comparatively naturalized and habit
ual, gradually assimilating itself in this
respect las We have long known it to be
akin in certain other respects) to the fami-
liar European bowel infection of typhoid
fever. "And," he adds, 1.-THE Importance of
the facts in this point of view seems to ME
to attach to them equally, whether they be
explained on one suppOsitiOn of their origin
or the other-whether they arise, IS Mr..
Radcliffes former argument would suggest,
by means of repeated intrOductiOns OF new
infection from without, or, as DR.. Pelikan
maintains, by the long persistence in vigOr
of each infection that is introduced. On
either supposition We have to remember
with regard to the future the increasing ia
cilities for infection from India which are
inseparable from the developments of
traffic. He thinks the possibility of new
and most deadly cOntagion. tending by de-
grees to become current Ill Western Europe,
can hardly be contemplated without feel
ing of dismay. AS to our defense from
cholera, he points out that England has
abandoned quarantine as futile, and that
when cholera is current on the continent of
Europe, we must accept, as practically not
to be avoided, innumerable chances, which,
indeed, make certainties. that the same con-
tagion will freely enter our own country.
at is," he says, ION that basis that the true
defenses of England against cholera have to
be planned; defenses not peculiar to the coast
line of England, but in principle, equally to
be aimed at in each sanitary district
throughout the country; defenses which las
explained in the memorandum above re-
ferred tO), consists essentially in those COM
mon hygienic precautions which local SAM
tary authorities are responsible for providing
or enforcing, and, above all, in extreme
vigilance in regard of the local supplies of
water and the local prevention of filth.
Thus, in truth, the increasing influence of
cholera on the continent of Europe is chiefly
to be regarded in this country as an addi-
tiOnal appeal to our 1900 local authorities
to move swiftly and effectively in duties
which already, on other grounds, are ur-
gently incumbent on them. DR.. Simon adds
the expression of his belief that in proper
ton as common sanitary improvement takes
from typhoid fever its present deplOrable
our population, in such proportion will
England have better security against
cholera than any imaginable system of
quarantine could have given her, and will
be able to receive with comparative i'm
punity whatever impOrtations of cholera
