timber merchant in New Orleans has
bama, which is 13 feet long, 53a inches
wide and 2 inches thick, and is without
knot or split. This is probably the largest
piece Of timber ever seen in any market
outside of California. The companion to
this plank is reserved for our Centennial
Exhibition. The tree from which it was
taken must have measured at least seven
feet in diameter.
They talk about General Butler being
shelved and all that, but those who calcu-
late upon such thing count without their
| hosts. If he does not mean to be heard
from before the close of this century then
what does this iGem in the New York
World mean? General Butler is having
| mounted at Chicopee sword four feet long,
of finest Toledo temper, the hilt of which
will cost $1,000" The cost of the hllt
would suggest that the General has an idea
of entering the army of the Khedive.

scale. The English railway companies
subscribed 800, 900, and the wealthy towns
of Stockton and Darlington gave literally.
Eminent railroad managers throughout the
world received invitations.
| The lovers of oysters, and legion is the
name of such, will be delighted to hear
that ancient oystermen are predicting the
| best season for that sort of sea fruit since
1860. Already the bivalvular dainties are
in plump condition. The great plantation
owners at Newark Bay, Amboy, and other
points along the Sound, are expecting
yield of 100000 bushels, and profits from
100000 to 100000. Partakers of the
raw, the stewed, the roast, will appreciate
the information that in this neighborhood
two thousand men and one thousand yes
sells of all descriptions are engaged in sup
plying the oyster market.-New York Tri-

Just after the trial of petty case in Col
orldo recently, in which one Hank Fisher
was witness, three or four of the lawyers
were discussing among themselves the va
riety of testimony deduced, when General
B., with his usual vehemence, said: 'tThere
never was such liar ON the witness stand
as that Hank Fisher; he is, undoubtedly,
the biggest liar I ever knew when the
whole party were somewhat abashed at see
ing Hank, who heard the General sremark,
step up to him. Did you say was the
biggest liar you ever saw?" ''That is
about what | said," stammeringly came
Hank eyed him for moment, and then
said: 81 guess you didn't know my brother
John"
Parson Newman, in a recent discourse on
the Egyptian pyramids, informed his hear
ers that tradition tells us that the ashes of
Joseph are contained in one of those pyra-
mds, and that he doubts not that he there
beheld the sepulchre of Joseph. A CORE
spondent Of the Washington Star calls the
attention of the parson to Joshua's account |
of the removal of the bones of Joseph from
Egypt, and their burial in Shechem, and
wants to know what kind of bible ex-
FOUNDER Newman is.
Among the persons who perished during |
the recent Texas gale was an old soldier |
named Patrick Lanigan, whose career is |
given by the Galveston Meas: " He work
ed on Notifications at Sebastapol, at Glib !
raltal and at Metz, in 1945. He served in
the Mexican war as an American soldier,
was wounded at Meir, and was one of those
who drew white ball five times in success
sion, thus getting off with his life. He was
very high Mason, was born in Ireland,
stone-cutter by trade, and had been in Gal
weston about seven months. His trunk, |
which is lost, contained some valuables, his
regalia, and some curious relics of his past
career. He was over 10 years old.''
A Cleveland gentleman, Mr.. Kanan--
perhaps we should say Colonel Kanan-
locked up his son, fourteen years of age, in
barn, and having emitted, in the hurry Of
business, no doubt, to give him anything to
eat, the boy, instead of living on rats, as a
child with any regard for an absent parent
would have done, was stubborn enough to
starve to death. The most unpleasant fea-
ture of the affair, however, is, the police,
with that disgusting perversity for which
they are sometimes proverbial, declined to
accept as satisfactory the Colonel's explain
alton. that :" the boy was an idiot and there
was no room for him in the house, " and ac-
tually sent him to prison And Cleveland
claims, too to be Il by no means incossid-

If Colonel Kanan should determine, in his
righteous indignation, to renounee his coun-
try forever and retire to a lifelong seclu-
sinn at Columbus, should the world con-
denim him as a misanthrope p Courier

I were in the wagon, had the whip and
