CemeterY Tree.

Having occasion the other day
to review the shrub list, with a
view to planting the corners and
centre of 4 cemetery lot, inclosed
by an iron fence, I came to con-
clusions which may be seryieeable
in other cases. Nothing could be
found that seemed to combine Sc
many desirable qualities for-cornei
plants TO be setin close the angles
of the fence as the Savin juniper
(Juiperus sabina). Its growth,
being one one-side or triangular in
section, causes it to fit the position
peculiarly well. Then it Is endur-
ing as an oak tree, and all ever
green of very dark shade, vet
bright and unfading in cold or
heat. 1t retains a good figure
with little or no attention, does
not grow to an inor1inate or ex-
cessive size, and it has a thick,
warm, sheltering and protecting
feature which is enhanced by
the appearance of its wing-like
branches. As a narrow, neat,
erect, graceful tree for the centre,
the cut-leaf birch seems EXTREMITY
eligible. While its shoots point
upward, its delicate spray droops
tenderly over the resting place
of the remembered dead.

All that is Known of Tweed.

No solution of the mystery in re-
gard to the present whereabouts oi
William NJ. Tweed was obtained
yesterday, notwithstanding the con
tinued and united efforts OF both
the police authorities and the Sher-
iffs officials. That the fight of the
ex-"Boss" was most deliberately
planned and carried out with ex-
ceedipg skill the long time that has
elasped without his beng recap
tured fully testiies to. He has now
been at large over seven days, and
the large reward already offered of
$4,000, with q promise of an in
crease of this amount to $4,000,
has had no effect as yet in discover
ing to the authorities the actual
place of his concealment. This
shows that the affection felt for the
fallen chieftain by his adherents
and former bene6ciaries is still
stronger than the power of money.
For large as is the reward offered
for information as to his where
abouts and other particulars which
may lead to his arrest, no one has
yet been found bold enough to
