speaks and writes French, German,
English, Spanish, and Italian, and has
some knowledge of every other Europe
an language. He can decipher the most

his attachment to the Napoleonic cause

A Trees Remarkable Voyage.

The Cincinnati Times prints a COM
municatiOn which reads: ION the farm
owned by James M. Jones, about two
miles north of fremont, Clark County,
Ohio, there stood a tree on the north
bank of a very rapid stream called
Stornes Creek. By the constant wash
ing away of the soil under the tree, it
was caused to lean over the water so
that it was deemed necessary to cut a
portion of the top off about 18 feet from
the roots, and, by so doing, it partially
resumed it natural erect position. The
top that was severed from the trunk was
dragged Immediately around the curve
where the tree stood, for the purpose of
protection to the bank of soil. During
the freshets of this Spring and Winter
there was quantity of drift gathered at
that point sufficient to turn the current
of the stream a little from the tree.
Next is that remarkable event of June
81, last. When all this valley was food
ed, this tree was dislodged and fioated
down the stream about $40 yards,
escaping the many obstacles that lay
along its source, such as large trees and
logs, and landing about Is yards from
the main current of the stream, upon a
bank of soil which appears to have been
left for this purpose, as on either side
there is nothing but gravel and sand for
many yards. Those who saw this lordly
tree floating down stream, say that it
kept an erect position, gliding smoothly
during its voyage down. This tree is Of
the blue ash species, measures at the
roots over feet around, and is about 10
feet long to where the top was cut off.
The trunk is bountifully supplied with
branches with an unusual uniformity
The foliage is fourishing beautifully,
and shows no signs of whitening. Around
the base of the tree is a quantity of sod,
which gives protection to the roots, all
of which floated down in its natural
position, and landed on this little elevat-
ed spot of soil. At the edge Of the green
sod, gravel and sand were washed up,
completely covering the outside, and
forming q beautiful little mound. At
this place it is about six feet from the
level of the creek, and along the public
road, which makes it a center of attrac-
ton in all this country. @

Enoch Arden In Australia.

A short time since young sailor,
second officer of ship trading to the
Mauritius from Melbourne, left his wife
living at Williamstown. At Port Louis
illness seized him, and he was left in the
hospital seriously i'll. On the arrival of
the ship, the wife saw the Captain, who
gave her the facts concerning the health
Of her husband. Subsequently, another
arrival from Mauritius told her he had
heard that her husband "died in the
hospital" and upon this very unreliable
authority she concluded herself widow,
and in this capacity took situation in
the provinces, and after time-say
about a twelvemonth from her husbands
leaving-she married her employers.
brother. Meanwhile the husband was
not dead at all, but recovered. No ship
offering for the colony, he shipped home,
writing his wife, who, having left her
former residence, never got his letters.
Arrived in England, he learned that a
rich relative in China had died and left
him large amount of money, and ac-
.cordingly he sailed to China and took
possession of the property, upon which
he realized some 1900, the result of
years of successful speculation, and sail
ed for Victoria to join his wife and enjoy
his wealth with her, only to find that,
unlike Penelope, she had not waited for
her Ulysses, and was another's. The
next homeward mail boat took him away
to England without disturbing the felic-
ity of the existing arrangement. The
wife now repents her precipitancy:-

Aunt sally's Visit to Old virsinny.

Old Aunt Sally Manning left Hawkins
vile few weeks ago to visit her old
home in Virginia, and if possible find
some of her people. 1t is about thirty
years since Aunt Sally left Norfolk.
Since the war she has been Industrious
and frugal, and had accumulated money
sufficient to buy her little home on the
street below Messrs. Ferguson's & Co.'s
store, and had some money extra.
About the first of last month she made
her arrangements, cooked ratiOns,
bought ticket from Hawkinsville to
Macon, and there procured q through
ticket to Norfolk, where she arrived in
due time. Aunt Sally says she was as
tonished to find the streets of Norfolk
" turned and crooked about so much
since she was dare befo'. All de folks
'peared strange. Oar was lots a new
houses put up and big ships on de
waters, and nobody 'peared to know
her." She at once began a search for
her white people, and after long inquiry
found that the old folks were dead, but
that her young "missus, de little gal
dat she used to nuss and think so much
of, was still living" She at last found
her IS little missus''-an aged woman
now, with her second husband and four
children. As soon as she saw old
''Mammy Sally" and recognized her, she
ran, to the old woman, threw her arms
around her, and embraced and wept
over her as if she were her real mother.
Aunt Sally's next search was for her
husband, and she found him living in
the country near Norfolk, married
again. "Well, Aunt Sally, what did
you do then?" we asked. Nuffing at
all. He say to his udder wife dat he
was agwine to come home wild me, and
he would q come if he had de money"
"Well, Aunt Sally, you are now salts
fed" "Yes, bless de Lord, Use salts
fed now dat Use seen de old country
and de folks, and Use gwine to try to
make some more money to live on.

tled him 10 leave q once, without even
claiming the hah-payt to which he was
entitled, and he went TO London. There
for two years he supported himself by
teaching French, and ct the end of that
time he went to Dublin. The Irish eli
mate not agreeing with him, he went to
Gibraltar and became principal of .
college there. Two years later yellow
fever broke out, and Prof. Meiere sailed
for New York, landing in America about
1926.
Shortly after his arrival, the Profess
or was appointed Professor of French
and German in Yale College, but as
there was then no salary attached to the
position, and he had to depend upon
students fees for his pay,
he soon resigned and went to
Baltimore, where he gave private les
sons. Later he moved to Washington,
and obtained q position in the Navy De-
partment under James K. Paulding, and
was thereafter appointed Professor of
French and Spanish in the Naval Acad-
emy. q position which he held until the
chair was abolished. He returned to
Washington and resumed private les

New York, and was appointed to the
