by his cheering words. While In the
room ] had put on my dreas and shoes.
but supposing the fireman meant to
carry us down the ladder. ] thought I'd
better give him as little weight ~ pos
sible, and 30 took of both dress and
shoes again. 1t turned out, though. that
ne didn't carry US down. As oon az he
got into the window he tied arope about
Mr.. Reese and lowered him 70 the fifth
story window. He then let Mrs. Reese
down To the same window in the same
way. The fireman then tied the rope
about me and LET me down. MI. Reese
caught me a. the fifth floor. and wanted
To help me on to the ladder. but the
fireman told him To let go. and upon Mr..
Reese still holding on TO me, the fire
man cursed him terribly. Then l told
Mr.. Reese that the fireman wouldn't do
what was not for the best. and that he
had better let him have his " way.
Mr.. Reese then let me go, and ] was
lowered TO the balcony porch below.
On the way ! got a few bumps from
the sills, but ! didn't mind that A po-
liceman caught me at the bottom
and united the rope. Then three or
four men helped me down the ladder.
I didn't know any one, and ! just let
them do as they pleased with me. One
Of them said: Let's take her over TO
that saloon" and then another said
NO: let's take her to the Planters
House. ] Vas barefoOted, you knew.

Bit At the Planters House everybody
treated me as il i had been a Queen.
The girls put me in bed and built a lire
for NE, and next morning they fur
nished me a pair Of shoes, a hat and
some clothing to 60 home in. After
the firemen had lowered me down, he
let Julia Burke down the same way.
| Julia had her hair singed pretty badly,
for you know the fire was already in
the room before we left il, and the roof
was burning over our heads. The lire
man was the last to leave the room, and
after climbing down TO the fifth story.
he held Mrs. Reese, while her husband
| climbed on to the ladder. Then he
picked Mrs. Reese up and carried her
| all the way down the ladder in his arms.
| She had tainted, and was as helpless as
a child. The fremen, | can tell you,
deserve a good deal more credit than
they gel. That fireman of ours worked
hard to a v us, and risked his own life
| over and over again. The ladder would
| bend at the top like a whalebOne, and l
thought all the time that it was going
to break, but the fireman seemed to have
| no such fears at all. When he was at
| the windows next to ours, Mrs. Reese
promised him a good reward in case he
| succeeded in saving us, and l told him
| thati if wedidn't reward him God would,
and most richly too. l don't believe
either that any of us would have been
| saved if it had not been for Prof. Reese.
| He did not seem to care n bit for
himself, but only for us, and he kept en-
cOuraging us all the time. He wouldn't
let us cry or scream or give up in de-
| spair, and that is why we kept up our
| spirits to the last.-!St. Louis Times.

A Phenomenal Animal.

The Jefferson (Ark.) Republican re
ports the shooting in Little River
County. in that State. recently of q phe-
nomenal animal, having the body of q
well-formed red deer, with q head that
resembled a baboon, and a suit of long.
brown, shaggy beard. 1t was killed by
DR.. Colling. who says that when he was
aiming at it, its large eyes seemed to
melt with pity and compassion, as
though it were aware of its dreadful
danger. He had no sooner fired than
the creature leaped high in the air and
uttered a most heart-rending scream.
The Doctor says it must be q species OF
the Mexican centaur as described in le-
gend as existing in certain portions OF
Mexico.

The Chicago Times of April 21st, has

of the Mississippi and Ohio val

wheat. of which the following brief
analysis may be made: "A larger
average than usual has been sewn in
all quarters, with fine prospects OF an
abundant harvest The southwest Is
especially hopeful, and the northwest
has no fears except frUm the grasshop
pers, which, it is thought, will be Jess

about 100000 tons, which was the crol
of 1874; but the prediction is this year
that not more than half a million ton

On the top OF the Crumpetty Tree
The Quangle Wangle sat;
Bun his face you could not see
On account Of his beaver hat:
For his hat Was a hundred and two feet wide,
With ribbons and bibbons on every side,
And bells, and buttons, and hoops, and lace,
So that nobody ever could see the face
Of the Quangle wangle Quee.
The Quangle Wangle said
To himself, on the Crumpetty Tree:
Jam, and Jelly, and bread
Are the best food for me-.
But, the longer ! live on this Crumpetty Tree,
The palmer than ever IL seems 10 me
That very few people come this way,
And that life on the whole is far from CAV"
Said the Quangle Wangle Quee.
But there came TO the Crumpetty Tree
Mr.. and Mrs Canary;
And they said: ibid you ever see
ANY spot as charmingiy airyi
May we build a nest by your lovely Hat.
Mr.. Quangle Wangle, grant us that.
o please let US come and build a nest,
Of whatever material suits you best,
Mr.. Quangle Wsngle Quee.
And, besides, TO the CrumTetty Tree
Game the stork, the Duck, and the Owl,
The Snail and the Bundle Bee,
The Frog and the Fimble Fowl,
CThe Fimble Fowl with q Corkscrew leg;
And all OF them said: " humbly beg
We may build our homes on your lovely Hat.
Mr.. Quangle Wangle grant us that,
Mr.. Quangle Wangle Quee."
And the Golden Grouse came there,
And the Pebble, who has no toe.,
And the small OIympian Bear,
And the Dong with a luminous nose.
And the Blue Baboon who play'd the flute,
And the Orient Calf from the land Of Tute,
And the Artery Squash and the Bisky Bat,
AL came and built on the lovely Hat
OF the Quangle Wangle Quee.
And the Quangle Wangle said
To himself, on the Crumpetty Tree:
"When all these creatures move,
What wonderful noise therell be-"
Aud at night, by the light Of the Mulberry
Moon,
They danced to the Flute Of the Blue Baboon,
On the broad green leaves OF the Crumpetty
Tree;
And all were as happy as happy could be,
With the Quangle Wangle Quee.

Editors of the Dispatch:

Edlf0rS or We DlSpGtcR: s-......
In your paper of this morning (7th) is a
communication signed or" on the above
subject. Icannot forbear reply, as it seems
to me the attack on this tree is one unsup-
ported by any authority, being simply an
assertion of facts Of which the writer knows
nothing. He says "this tree is pestilencc-
breeder" I ask for his proofs OF proof OF
this statement from any authority, writ
ten or unwritten. The "matter was agi-
tated some years since," and the Board OF
Health addressed printed circular to the
Faculty of this city, and the almost unanl-
nous testimony ELECTED thereby was OPP
posed to t6e statement OF OR" that the
Aiantus is ga pestilence. breeder" or In
the least degree predisposing or exciting
cause OF disease. June is slckly mouth,
but I think statistics will show it to be not
more so than September, when the Allan
tus is not in bloom. Does "R." know
anuthino about the Ailantus except the
fact that it smells ? II he does not
he should have posted himself before he
attacked the tree, which is one OF the
most beautiful in the city. have looked
for some authority OF its baneful effects
botanical, chemical, and medical-and can
find nothing. Is not this passing strange,
poor little babies, and even source OF such
discomfort to adults.
The tree belongs to the Quassia family,
our variety OF which is highly esteemed by
physicians as bitter tonic; and even now
the bark Of the root of this very much
abused tree is attracting considerable atten-
ton in France and China as o remedy for
dysentery, it being given in the former
country in the strongest infusion that can be
made. The odor is due to an acrid, volatile
oil, which has not been proved to be delete
rious when inhaled. In fact, il it be yalu-
able remedy in dvsentery when given in
infusion, and our fatal disease to children in
June is cholera-infantum how knows OR"
but that this ehorrid" smell may be posi-
lively beneficial to the suffering little ones ?
The shade given by this tree more than cour-
terbalances any deleterious effects of the
disagreeable odor for the few weeks that it
lasts, and trust that before wholesale de-
struction Of these valuable trees begin full
proof OF the assertions Of ''R.' may be had.
