Marching to Death.


According to the statements of officers
who were on the Pacific Mail steamship
Japan, at the time of her destruction by
fire, about two months since, the demora-
lization among the Chinese passengers was
absolutely appalling. The heathens were
in state of bewilderment from the time
the alarm was sounded to the final scene,
and acted entirely upon impulse. In the
first place, every heather who had money
secured it about his person. Sink or swim,
they would not throw aside the coin.
As natural result, these people often
sank while wearing life-preservers. The
preserver would sustain the weight of a
man, even after his heavy clothes were
soaking wet, but the additional weight of
$500 or 1000 in coin was too much for
the average preserver, and the opulent
heather would disappear from view. In
every instance where the sea afterward
gave up its Chinese dead, money was
found on the bodies. The strangest phase
of Chinese Generalization remains to be
described. The passengers of this nation
atty who had baggage gathered to-
gether their effects, after the fire had
been raging for some time, and swinging
the bamboo poles across their shoulders,
deliberately marched overheard Wheth-
er the poor wretches had any idea the wa
ter would sustain them, or timely aid was
a matter of certainty, the Caucasian spec
tators cannot say. The Chinese went
overheard, struggled in the water mo-
ment and then disappeared, leaving the
cherished baggage bufeting the waves

Eucalyptus Trees.

Whatever be the cause or causes which
render a marshy district comparatively
healthy Co what it was before the intro
duction of the eucalyptus trees into the
neighborhood, the fact is unquestionable,
and is now testified to in various parts of
the world. Thus at the Cape, in a very
few years, the cultivation of the eucalyptus
has completely changed the climatic con-
dition of the unhealthy parts of that
colony; and in Algeria, where it has been
tried on a large scale in district pre-
viously noted for its pestilential air and
consequent prevalence of fever, not a
single case now occurs, although the trees
are not more than nine feet high and in
the neighborhood of Constantine it is also
stated that at another noted fever spot
covered with marsh water both in winter
and summer, in FIVE years the whole dis
trict was dried up by $4,000 of these trees,
and the inhabitants now enjoy excellent
health. In Cuba, again, marsh diseases are
fast disappearing from unhealthy districts
where this tree has been introduced. In
the Department of the Var 1t is also said
that a station house situated at one end
of railway viaduct, so pestilential that
the officials could not keep there longer
than a year, is now as healthy as any
other place on the line, in consequence of
the planting of few eucalyptus trees.
Numerous other instances might be cited
to the same effect as having occurred in
France, Spain, Italy, Germany and other
parts of the world and we cannot doubt,
therefore, that although the effects might
have been to some extent probably exag
gerated, the statements are substantially
correct, and that this tree does possess
most beneficial effect in neutralizing and
improving the malarious influence of
marshy districts

An Inventors Remarkable Career

The Detroit Free Press of late date
says: "In a lonely secluded position in
the northwest corner of the cemetery,
near the beautiful little village of Rich
mond, Kalamazoo county, Michigan, the
historian may find engraved on a pure
white marble slab, nearly concealed from
view by a number of little bushes, the
name of Benjamin Cummings, born A.
ID. 1882, died a. D. l84S.' And who was
Benjamin Cummings? The inventor of
circular saws, now in use all over this
country and Europe Nearly sixty years
ago, at Burtonville, New York, he ham,
mered out, at his own blacksmith's anvil,
the first circular saw known to mankind.
He was noted pioneer in Michigan, first
cousin to one of the Presidents of the
United States, a slave-owner in New Y FORK
State, a leading mason in the days of
Morgan, and at his table the very elite of
the then Great State of New York feasted
and drank freely of his choice liquors and
wines. He was a vessel owner on the
Hudson river before the days of steam
boats, and captain in the war of 1872.
Once, after having three horses shot from
under him, with stroke of his own sword
he brought his superior officer to the
ground for an insult and because he was
traitor and coward, and, after having
been court-martialed, instead of being
shot, he was appointed Colonel in his
place And in this lowlY grave are the
ashes of the man who, nearly seventy
years ago, at Albany, New York, took
up and moved bodily large block of
brick buildings, and, to the wonder and
establishment of the world, constructed ]
miles of Erie Canal through solid rock, and
who also built, on a contract, the first low
bridges over the same. He aided, too, in
the construction of the first ten miles of
railroad built in the United States, and
founded both the villages of Esperance
and BurtonvilIe, on the old Schoharie,
near Amsterdam. The study and aim of
this mans life appeared to be to accom-
plish that which none other could"

Telegraph Offices at Sea.

"Can't it be done?" asks the PbilddeL-
iohia Ledger-that is, can measures be
devised to enable steamships at sea to keep
up Geographic communication with the
shore The rest of the civilized and com
mercial world is within easy telegraphic
communication of each port, but the large
community which lives on your passenger
steamships is totally cut off from the rest
of the world the moment land disappears (;
and the question is, "Can't anything be
done for them ?' Two plans are sug-
gested-one to pay out a small and COM
paratively inexpensive cable by the de-
parting steamer, thus keeping up commu-
nication with the sailing port; but this
plan meets with so many objections, in
the shape of expenses, the loss of cable
on each trip, and the uncertainty of keep
ing up such communication, that another
is suggested, having more of system and
business principle as its basis namely,
establishment of cable stations on the high
seas, built upon buoys, at which steamer
may stop and communicate if in distress,
give her time, and enable her passengers
to communicate with their friends on
either shore. The object would without
question be extremely desirable. while the
plan, to. say the least, appears no more i'm
practicable than did the laying of the
cable between the United States and
Europe before the hitherto incredible task
had been accomplished.-7He Times.

In a talk with Henry Ward Beecher
Just before l left New York, 1 learned
how Theodore Tilton first became jealou:
of Mrs. Tilton's admiration for and veneer
alton of her friend and pastor. 1t com
menced through an injudicious, bantering
remark which Mrs. Tilton was goaded
into making through the sneers, innuen.
does, neglect and insults of her husband
Theodore Tilton looked upon himself as
a giant and his wife as pigmy. He
never consulted her about literary mat
tiers, told her frankly that he was ashamed
of her, and that he was married to per
son beneath him in intellect Mr.. Beecher,
on the contrary, told me that he found in
Mrs. Tilton a woman of genius When ]
asked him to explain in what way Mrs.
Tilton was remarkable, Mr.. Beecher re-
piled:
Why, sometimes she had as good
Judgment in q question as the ripest Judge
on the bench. She could be as learned
as a Judge one moment, and the next mo-
ment giggling girl. She once wrote an
opinion on grave questionable Byron
disclosure-which so enlisted my atten-
ton that read it to great many friends,
and finally sent it to sister Harriet. l
have read literary passages to her many a
time, in which she suggested the wisest
and most subtitle changes"
But, to go on with the story, Mr.. Bow
en-, of Brooklyn, told me that once, after
Tilton had returned from a lecture tour,
he was belittling his wife, saying she was
a mediocre woman and not fit compan-
ion of man of his intellectual culture,
when the little woman goaded by his in
nuendoes to retaliate, exclaimed:
"You may not think me worthy of
your love, Theodore, but know better
man than you, grander and more distin-
guished, who does love me-"
Eyes, it's that Beecher ?" Missed out

niously left his wife.
cit was that unguarded boast" said
Mr.. Bowen, switch the outraged wife let
out to punish her husband, which reused
Tilton's jealousy and suspicion against
Beecher."
From that time on Theodore Tilton had
but one idea-a hatred of Beecher-a
jealousy, insane and morbid, which de-
voured him night and day. He reasoned
to himself, how can this great man find
anything to admire in a weak woman like
Elizabeth? There is nothing; it is lust.
Then, with the wish the father to the
thought he worked himself up to the NOR
bid belief, the insane belief, that the rela-
lions between the great preacher and his
wife were purely carnal. He hated
Beecher with his whole heart, and that
morbid wish and belief, insane as it was,
finally became a hobby which he brooded
over, day and night, until he believed it
as much as George Francis Train believed
he was going to be President or Dictator.
