Chinese Trust.

In all places in China you may see q
string of coolies rushing through the
streets carrying loads of money. There
is not policeman to be seen, except
occasionally at the gates or in time OF
trouble. You may see shroff with a
lot of dollars in a fiat tray, examining
them intently as they pass, click, over
his thumb; sometimes posse of idlers,
consisting of ir-bearers, coolies,
cooks and servants, all looking on
There does not seem to be even the sus-
picion that anyone might attempt to
kick the tray over and bolt with what
he could get in the scramble. Why,
even in that nest of iniquity, Hong
Kong, you may see at that most COM
Portable of building, the Oriental Bank,
lot of Cinnamon counting and exam
lining, perhaps, thousands of dollars
that are being paid to them, and some
of the greatest scoundrels unhanged
passing constantly: perhaps they think
the men in the streets would most like
ly be honest enough to catch them, but
it is rather doubtful if they dare.
Money and valuables are exposed in a
way that would never be dreamed Of in
England; and the similarity of dress,
the narrowness and crowded state of
the streets in China, all would aid in
the escape of a robber.-IOeIve Years

Birthplace of Columbus.

Tradition makes Cogoletto, small
town a few miles from Genoa, the
birthplace of Columbus, and there is
an inscription which marks the house
of his reputed birth. It may be true,
and it may be false-for, in this land of
tradition and superstition, it is as easy
to fabricate q tradition as an inscrip-
tion, and credulity is ready to believe
that it is as old as Adam. The house of
his father was in the suburbs of Genoa,
as is shown by the deed. He, himself,
says he was born in Genoa, an express
sion which may well mean the territory,
and not the city, of Genoa. There is,
therefore, some color for the tradition,
and it is not worth while to dig deeper
to find doubts. He was a Llgurlan,
and nothing could be more likely to
sharpen his curiosity, and suggest
life of adventure, than to look out from
these rocky highlands, upon the Medi-
terranean, washing the fields at its
base, and covered with the little, but
daring and enterprising corsairs of the
Levant, the Grecian Archipelago, and
the African coast.
How time sets things right Brought
home in chains, robbed in his lifetime
of his honors and his profits, and the
name of another given to his discover
les, time has written his name with
iron and lead in the rock forever" His
jealous and triumphant enemies, as well
as his royal patrons and enterprising
followers in the path of discovery, are
remembered but when we call them up
from the land of shadows, there is al
ways in the midst of them, and before
them, the great Genoese with a glory
about him, in the light of which they
shine with pale ray. So it will be
forever.
He went on, when every other would
have given up in despair. He gave a
New World to the kingdoms of CASTLE
and Aragon. But CASTLE and Aragon,
and all the progeny of their descendant
commonwealths, are dwindling and
fading away, and race, nearer akin to
the old Ligurian-" the world-seeking
Genoese"-is, from year to year, de-
voting the New World to the great COM
monwealth of freedom and mutually.

Wisconsin Railroads.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin referring
to the railroad war in that State says
that kilograms from various sources in.
dictate that there is not much bad feel
ing on either side. The legal fare,
three cents mile, is rendered in some
cases, and the company refuses to ac-
cept it. The conductors do not attempt
to eject the passengers, for that would
be very foolish, but carry them to their
destination for nothing. They tenn
porarily ride as "dead heads" Their
names are taken by the conductors, and
the attorneys of the company will prob
ably commence suit against the indi-
viduals who refuse to pay the fare de-
manded. This, of course, will subject
the individuals to some annoyance and
expense, inasmuch as in this way the
State will have in no form to bear the
expense of the judicial proceedings, as
it would should the Railway Commits
sioners commence the suit.

A Terrible Situation.

On the Southwest coast of England,
far out in the Atlantic ocean, are the
Scilly Islands, group of rocks and
reefs, with habitable isles interspersed,
On one of the rocks farthest out in the
ocean is situated the Bishops Rock
lighthouse. 1t is lonely place for men
to abide, and the loneliness was more
fearful on the morning of April IA,
when the violence of prevailing gale
made the keepers tremble for their
lives. Struck by enormous waves in
quick succession, the massive stone
building swayed to and fro so violently
that every article within fell from its
place. One wave reached the lantern
with such force as to break great lens
in several pieces, AID another caused
other damage to the lighting apparatus.
Tho keepers state that although the
water is 18O feet deep by the rock, sand
from the bottom was found heaped up
on the lighthouse gallery.

Ascent of Sap in the Bark of Trees.

M. Faivre has recently performed
series of experiments on the mulberry,
hazel nut, and cherry laurel, which he
considers goes far to prove the fact that
the substances which supply the food
of plants have an ascending motion in
the bark. For the purpose. he made
perfect or imperfect annular incisions
through the bark, or detached pieces of
the bark, to which buds were attached,
or removed entire cylinders of bark
from the trunk. The result of the ex-
periments was that the buds always
continued to develop when the COM
munication remained uninterrupted
with the lower portion of the trunk |;
while when this communication was
completely destroyed, the buds invari-
ably withered away. If the bud was
separated by perfect annular incision,
it withered the more slowly the greater
its distance from the incision and in
these cases the starch disappeared en-
tirely from the portions of the wood
above the incision between it and the
bud. When entire cylinders of bark
with buds on them were removed, the
buds continued to develop, and even
produced branches bearing leaves.

On Shares.

A good story, and all the better in
being true, is told of one OF oul
citizens, who let piece of ground to @
man on shares. The man would hire
the lot, but the owner, doubtful of get.
ting any moneyof the tenant, proposed
to let it upon the promise of receiving
half the products. Occasionally du-
ring the summer he passed the spot,
and was pleased with the cultivation il
was receiving, and with its goodly
show of vegetables. Hsrvest time came
and passed, and he heard nothing from
his tenant, till, in response to hint,
the latter sent to him one water melon
and three shriveled cucumbers. Ia
dignant at this shabby treatment, he
called upon the man, and asked him
what it meant. "Why, you. see,
squire" replied the tenant, "the
pesky boys stole all of your half, but
the melon and cucumbers."

Victoria Grey.

Victoria Grey.
A giddy young girl was Victoria Grey,
One proud and determined to have her own
way;
And rather than bend
She would lose her best friend
She was one upon whom one could never de-
pend.
That she thought herself charming was plain
to be seen
By her confident manners and satisfied mien;
She was one Of that kind
That one often will find,
With small, selfish heart and diminutive
mind.
Victoria Grey had passion for dress,
Tho taste and good judgment she did not pos
SEES:
On the street she would lirt,
And sweep through the dirt
With thirty-six yards Of light silk in her skirt
She had many lovers, it may be a score
She had promised to marry dozen or more;
All felt happy and gay
At the confident way
They were treated and loved by Victoria Grey.
Augustus Van Quirk was her fortunate flame
(Yictoria loved his euphonious name,)
A weak little fellow,
Whose whiskers were yellow,
With little white hands and voice rather
mellow.
He took her to operas, dances and plays,
He courted and wooed her in various ways,-.
1870 He whispered a store
OF affectionate lore
That blighted the hopes Of the dozen or more.
They were married at last, twas a famous
affair,
Made brilliant bypresents of real plated ware
Twas a transient display,
The talk of day,
And this was the end Of Victoria Grey.
Five years have passed by, and Augustus Van
Quirk
Has never been guilty Of going to work;
Just over the way
Is a small sign to-day,
BoARD1NG-Mrs. Van Quirk," (nes Victoria
Grey)

A man in Maine has discovered

A man in Maine has discovered the
advantage of large family. He has
twenty-five children, and recently,
when he made arrangements for NOV
ing from one school district to another,
thus transferring his school tax, his
old neighbors offered to pay him some
thing to remain among them. His new
neighbors, however, offered to remove
him free of expense, and so prevailed.
