Mr.. Ed. Kohn, of the firm of kohn u

Miss Sue Kinner. As Miss Kinner tells
the story she and three friends Ia lady and
two gentlemen) were procuring tickets at
the ticket office, when Mr.. Ed. kohn
stepped up and spoke to her, saying she
looked very ''toney" and asking her where
she was going. She said. jokingiy, to tie

and after little pause Miss K. asked
Kohn to step out on the platform as she
wished to speak with him. he took her
arm and they walked along up the plat
form, when she opened the conversation
by reference to the SANDER suit she has
instituted against Max Kohn, Eds brother,
and said she heard that he (Ed)had stated
that he would find Max in money to see
him through. Ed admitted it, repeated
| it, and boosted that he would. She then
said that money was not what she wanted;
that she wished to vindicate herself from
slender and would do so; that all she
wanted was a retraction; that he ed.
Kohn( had kept company with her for
months, taken her to balls. rides and
parties publicly, and had professed great
attachment to her and had promised to
marry her, and charged that he had often
told her that she might kill him if he ever
said one word against her, but now he had
turned against her and she would kill him.
She put her hand in her pocket, and kohn
seized it and pulled it out, bringing pistol
with it, which he took away from her and
kept. He then struck her, knocking her
down, and called on the people to help
him protect himself from the girl, etc
She seized him by the collar but just then

A GUEST ATA HOTEL WANTS TO
HA We AN UNDERSTANDING.

A night or two since a chap about IS
years old, looking as if he had crawled
out of cave to commence life anew,
entered one of the hotels, and, waiting at
the counter until the clerk was at liberty,
he asked: as this hotel?"
Eyes, sill" was the reply.
Good living, good beds, and the most
courteous attention ?"
Eyes, sir.
"Well, said the stranger, after long
look at a railroad time table, ~ suppose
you don't trust7"
mo, sir. J."
That's what wanted to know. al
ways like to have an understanding about
such things, for if anything makes me
mad it is to have great big hotel clerk
jump in on me and kick me down stairs
on account of my straitened finances"
YOU'D better find some other place."
suggested the clerk.
ooh! l shall" replied the stranger
"The outside ofthis hotel seemed to smile
a welcome at me; but, as | said before,
my present policy is to get along without
being kicked. I've got mental feelings
as we'll as anybody else, and I'm getting
so worn in flesh that mere common
grand bounce from heavy hotel clerk
upsets me whole day. Farewell, young
man; don't bile any extra taters for me"

THE AGEOF TR EES.

Plants are divided into two classes;
one which cannot, by reason Of their
made of growth, live beyond given pc
riod, and the otherthose whose longevity
may be continued indefinitely. To the
latter belong trees, and their age may be
pretty accurately told by counting the
number of rings into which they are di'
vided Every one of these rings denotes
year, and this is why botanists arrive
at precise conclusions concerning their
age.
Decaneole mentions an elm 335years
old; cypress about $50; a chelrostemon
about 400; an ivy $50; a larck $40, an
orange tree 63o; an olive tree 100; an
oriental palm 72o; a cedar of Lebanon
about 800; oaks go, I,oSo, 1900; lime
1916 and Ti47; yews I,2I4, L45S; 1888
and 1870.
Al Ellerslie, the birth place ofWallace,
near Paisley, there is an oak tree which
is said to have concealed under its bran.
ches that distinguished warrior and three
hundred of his followers. However
doubtful this may be, it is ceatan that
"the Wallace Oak" cannot be much less
than seven hundred years old,
Eight olive trees still grow in the Gar
den of Gethsemane, near jerusalem,
which can be proved to have been there
more than 800 years ago, and which are
alleged to have been silent witnesses of
our Saw ours agony.
Such great antiquity, however, is small
when compared with the age of the ba-
obab, some specimens Of which, growing
in Africa, the ilustrious Adanson found
to be $3.50 years old Even this great
age is surpassed by that assigned to the
taxodium by Decandolle, who makes
some specimens which he discovered in
South America to be 6ooo years old
Adanson ascertained some banian trees
to be of equal antiquity.

We recently printed an extract from
the bittel, unreenhng and incendiary
speech of Rev. Dr. Taylor Martin, de-
livered a. Charlotte, N. c., on Confedor-
ate Decoration Day" So great has
since been the indignation in that sec
ton against the resident correspondent
of the New York Times for furnishing
that paper with report of the speech,
that there is talk of forcibly expelling
him from that city. The sentiments o.
the fire eating harangues are, however,
indorsed by the people from beginning
to end.-COmmerciul.
OF course, having fathered fiction
you should stick to it. The story as pub
lished by the Commercial was contra
dicted, and we believe in the New York
Times, by DR.. Martin who pronounced
the sentiments and language attributed
to him as absolutely and wholly false in
every particular.-PM Post.

HUMAN LIFE,-Having searched into
all kinds of science, we discover the folly
of neglecting those things which concern
human life and involving ourselves in
difficulties about questions that are but
mere notions; we should confne our
selves to nature and reason. Fancies be-
yond the reach of the understanding,
and which have yet been made the OBJ
iects of belief-these have been the
source of all the disputes, errors and
superstitions that have prevailed in the
world: such :iotional mysteries cannot
be made subservient to the right uses of
humanity.-SOcrdtes.

DOCILITY OF A TIGRESS.

Mr.. Grant Duff tells the following
story which shows the influence English
authority has in India: A tigress who
lived in captivity at Lahore made her
escape one day, and not unnaturally
startled the station pretty considerably.
At length the gardener in whose domain
the cage was situated went to the proper
authority and begged to be ordered to
take the runaway back. No, not at all,
sir" said the officer "Only give me the
order, and I'll take the tigress back. "
"I'll give no such order, but you may do
as you please" was the rejonder. Here
upon the man, taking off his turban,
walked up to the creature which was
lying in shrubbery which it had proba.

cage" At the same time he put his un-
folded turban round her neck and led
her back"

FRIENDs.-There are friends who are
friends only for the hour, for tie noon
tide and the flood they have no real
roofing, as you discover if your horizon
gets clOuded over and foul weather comes
in place of fair if your rushing waters
run dry and your goodly vessels are
stranded on the beach. These are the
parasites of life, the clinging growths
which twine around the stronger trees
and maybe strangle them before tLey
die.
And there are the real friends, who, if
you get into tronble, stick closer to you
than brother, and who only need to be
tested to show that they are of pure
gold all through But this kind is apt
tU bea little stiff and stately when things
go well with you, and you feel it rather
nard that you must be in sorrow and
distress before you can get the starch
out of them, and would ratEer tEey were

future for the advantage and pleasure of
