The RaOhah.

The Baobab is plant of monstrous
size, the most colossal and the most an
cient vegetable monument on earth, has
round, wOolly leaves, which consist Of
from three TO seven leaflets radiating
from common center, and giving them
somewhat the appearance of hand, ami
magnificent white flower. 1t is an enOr-
nous tree, holding among plants the
place that the elephant holds among ami
mals-a hoary witness of the last changes
which the earth has undergone, and
deluges which have buried beneath their
waves the production of early ages. Sew
eral baobabS that have been measured
were found to be near seventy-seven feet
i'm circumference. From its branches
hang, at times, colossal nets, three feet in
length, md resembling large oval baskets
open at the bottom, and looking from the
distance like so many signal flags.
1t would take fifteen men, with their
arms extended, to embrace the trunk of
one of these great trees, which, in the
countries through which the Senegal
flows. are venerated as sacred mOnu-
ments. Enormous branches are given oil
from the ground and spread out horizon
tally, giving the tree diameter OF over
too feet Each of these branches, .
says Mr.. Danton, would be a monster
tree elsewhere, and. taken together, they
seem to make up Il forest rather than a
tree
1t is only at the age of 500 years that
the baobabs attain their full size, and
then cease to grow,
The fruit of this tree is Oblong; the
color of the shell passes in ripening from
,rrnnn tn vpIlnNy aud broNyp Tho frIlit l.
called " monkey bread" 1t contains q
spongy substance, paler than chocolate
and filled with abundant juice.
The bark is ashy gray in color, and al
most an inch in thickness. The negroes
of the Senegal grind it down to powder
and in this state they use it to season theil
food and to maintain a moderately free
perspiration, which enables them the
more easily to withstand the heat. II
serves, also, as an antidote for certain
feVcrs.

HOME CIRCLE.
SPEAK GENTLY.

Speak gently it is better far
To rule by love than fear;
Speak gently let no harsh words mar
The good we might do here,
Speak gently Love doth whisper low
The VOWS that true hearts bind:
And gently friendships accents flow
Affections voice is kind.
Speak gently to The little child
It's love be sure to gain:
Teach it in accents soft and mil
1t may not long remain.
Speak gently to the young, for they
Will have enough to boar;
Pass through the world as bestthey may
IT'S full of anxious care.
Speak gently to the aged one
Grieve not the carewOrn heart;
The sands of life are nearly run;
Lot such in peace depart
Speak gently, kindly to the poor,
Let no harsh tone be heard,
They have enough they must endure,
Without an unkind word.
Speak gently to the erring, know
They may have toiled in vain,
Perchance unkindness made them so,
Oh win them back again.
Sneak gently: He who gave His life
To bend mans stubborn will,
When elements were fierce in strife,
Said to them, Peace, be stll!'
Speak gently: It's little thing
Dropped in the hearts deep well,
The good, the Joy that it may bring,
Eternity shall tell.

The Good Time Coming. -

A Mexican Veteran sends the follow
ing TO an exchange: " Men like Senator
Gordon, Mr.. Alex. Stephens, and Mr..
Lamar may scout the thought of revival
of secession, butthat the idea is a popular
one among the Democratic masses in the
Southern States who desire a wide separa-
ton from the hated yankees, no calm, un-
time is believed by them to be rapidly ap-
preaching when Democratic senate and
house and Democratic executive will, by
Democratic expunging resolutions, draw
black lines around the recent amendments
to the constitution, it, indeed, they do not
Offer it entire burnt-offering on Their altar
of State rights.-JacksOn Mss Pilot

From the Brooklyn Eagle of yester

From the Brooklyn Eagle Of yesterday
1t was the settled and expressed convic-
ton Of the patriarch Henry q. Bowen four
days ago, that in the case between Tilton
and Beecher there had been perjury,
perjury, fearful, awful I" Mr.. Bowen
would not indicate on which side the per-
jury had been DONE but that it had been
done and to an alarming extent on one side
he had no hesitation in declaring Of his own
knowledge. Yesterday Mr.. Bowen partook
of the communion at Plymouth Church,
Mr.. Beecher officiating. Now, since it is
incOnceivable that he would have so com
municated had be believed Mr. Beecher to
be perjured libertine, it is impossible to
resist the conclusion that he meant his
charge to effect Tilton. Either Mr. Bowen
is the most consummate hypocrite and liar
in Brooklyn, or Theodore Tilton has com
mitted perjury in the most abomniable
form. This is an ugly dilemma for man
to be in. The devil is on one of its horns,
and Tilton on the other.

Independents Organizing.

In recent interview to a New York
Sun reporter, IIalstead, of the Cincinnati
Commercial, says:
Reportcr-llave the Independent voters
taken any practical step looking to the
Presidential campaign?
Mr.. Halstead-Yes. II you read the
dinner speech of Carl Schurz you will see
that ne suggested the establishment Of a
center OF correspondence looking to the
organization of the disaffected elements
that Is, the cooperation, upon some def
mite plan, OF the voters who are dissatis-
fed with the existing parties. Steps have
been taken to provide this center Of cor
rcspondence.
Reporter-When and how was this
done?
Mr.. Halstead-It was done by friends
OF Mr.. Schurz, meeting on Wednesday,
the day after the dinner. They had a
long and serious consultation and meant
business.
Reporter-Who were present?
Mr.. Halstcad-I do not care TO give a
list of those present. was present, but
rather rs sympathetic spectator than an
active participant.
RepOrter-Were resolutions adopted?
Mr. lIalstead-No. 1t would have been
rather too solemn under the circum-
stances to build a platform.
Reporter-Was a committee appointed
Mr. Halstead-Ges.
Reporter-Are you 4 member OF it?
Mr., IIalstead-No. | do not know how
to serve on a committee-never did such
a thing.
Reporter-Can you give any further in
formation about this movement?
Mr. lIalstead-Perhaps l could, but
do not feel at liberty to mention names
and details. The consultation was in
some sense confidential, and while | state
the fact that there was q consultation,
and that action was taken, and have moth
ing to conceal as to my own sentiments
and the extent to which | participated, |
must end this right there.

Republican E: Having lost the greater
portion of our peaches and apples, we
intend To raid on the berry patches"
and make a "big thingn Of dried
black berries next fall. We expect TO
load a steamboat every day with black
berries alone. While nearly all the
fruit is killed on this side of the river,
in this vicinity. Oh the opposite side
from this place there will be fair
crop of peaches, apples and cherries
unless the late frosts kill them; some
OF the trees being too full to bear well
How far back from the river this is the
case we do not know. There is but
little complaint of the injury done &c
wheat in this neighborhOod, but We
think the late sowing and slow growth
have kept it back until the severe
weather was over.

Hill said incidentally that Lis professional
income since the close of the war had been
more than S3COOOO His fees are frequently
5000 to $1,000, and it is stated that he
was paid SlOJ,uO for his services in the

fluent, graceful and fOrcible speaker His
FRIENDS think he is the greatest orator in the
