Where is WashbuTne? He announced
by private letter duly published, that he
would return from Europe in time to vote
the straight Republican ticket in Chicago;
but if he did so he has managed to keep
himself out of sight, and certainly moth
ing has been heard about him which
wonld indicate his political plans for the
future. Never was a prominent public
man so summarily squelched as has been
Washburne. He won golden opinions at
home and abroad as Minister to France,
and these, added to an already more than
respectable reputation. made him, it was
Thought, q formidable competitor for the
Presidential prize. Some of the best
judges Of such matters believed that if
Grant was not nominated Washburne
surely would be; and yet to-day he is
as completely in obscurity as Bristow.
And this he owes mainly to his available
lty as a Presidential candidate. His
enemies-all in his own party-insisted
that he was intriguing for the nomina-
ton, though there is not the slightest
proof of it, and though he had solemnly
declared that he was for Grant "frst,
last and all the time" He could not,
however, prevent the anti-third-t term Re
publicans in Illinois from using his name,
though he declined to give permission;
and the enemies-Logan & Co.-saw their
opportunity and improved it to his de-
~struction. They accused him of treach-
cry to his old friend. treated him as a
traitor, and apparently persuaded Grant
that his confidence had been misplaced
and abused. Washburne's protests-al.
most pitiful-were useless; the whole
party seemed against him, and he was
probably glad of an excuse to Temporal
rily hide his modification in a foreign
land. Whether there is any political
hereafter for him remains to be seen.
Just now it looks extremely doubtful.

Weeping Willow.

1t should not be forgotten that beauty
can often be acquired without great
cost. By studying the character of
piece of ground and adding to that
which already exists, we can often make
a place attractive as if we attempt
wholly to initiate at great cost some
pleasant garden scene that exists else
where. ....
In nothing is the adaptation of simple,
instead of expensive means, of adOrn
ment better shown than in the employ
ment of trees for shady summer bowers,
instead of the hideOus lumber-Worked
buildings so often seen. These are very
well in the cooler European climates,
but useless in American gardens. They
are always hot and unpleasant, but this
is not 50 often the case when a mere
bower of living trees is employed to
make the necessary shade. The green
mass is in keeping with other trees and
the crowding necessary to accom-
plish the desired shade can often
be turned to the very best account.
This is especially the case when
weeping trees are employed. The
peculiar dropping habits comes into
play in numerous ways in the hands of
a good landscape gardener. Of the fast
growing things of this kind, and where
the position is not particularly choice,
there are few things more useful than
the weeping willow. For more select
places we suppose there is nothing bet
ter than the weeping ash. Indeed,
taken all in all, it is one of the best
trees of this kind we have. The
branches can be trained over wires, and
thus we can make the room beneath the
trees as extensive as one could wish.
For very large spots, half dozen or so
can be used. Set in one circle, and the
trees about twenty feet apart. Such
an arrangement would make a delight
full croquet ground-or a place for par
ties or picnics- entirely in the shade,
yet with an abundance of room and air
all round.
OF good weeping trees adapted to
capacous shade, there is now the weep
ing yellow elm, weeping beech, weep
ing poplar, as well as the ash and will
low already noted. H.. d
Many other kinds of weeping trees
are rather ornaments than extensive
givers of grateful shade. Of vines and
such like plants for shady arbors we
have already spoken, and although they
necessitate an expense which the mere
weeping tree does not entail, they have
many ample compensating charms. The
early spring fragrance of the Akebia
or later of the various kinds of honey
suckles is worth all it costs. Gardener 8

American Apples in England.

THE London MGgGzine of Pharmacy
says that there are few greater treats
during the winter than the magnificent
apples imported from America to find
their places on the dessert table in En-
gland. But large numbers arrive in a
bruised condition owing to careless
packing. There is no reason why this
splendid fruit should not be imported
almost as fresh and blooming as when
it is gathered from the tree. A COM
mon but soft kind of tissue-paper should
envelope each apple before it is placed
in the cask, and this tissue-paper should
have been soaked in a solution of sail
eIzl &c; acid and and g Il 6
and every possible precaution should be
taken to prevent bruising when leading
into the casks or cases. As to the cost,
it would be 4 mere trile when we con-
slider the result gained, and the splendid
condition of the iruit when it enters the
London market.

A Free lee Water Tank in New York.

The members of the New York Busi-
ness Mems Society for the Encourage
ment of Moderation have caused to be
built an enormous ice-water tank with
a capacity of three tons This is to be
placed on a truck, the use Of which has
been donated for the season, and it is
to be filed with ice water and to be
trundled about the streets in the dense
ly-populated tenement districts, where
the cool, pure water will be distributed
free of charge. The tank is triangular
in shape and is six feet high. Each of
its sides is six feet in width. One side
is painted a light red, another white
and the third blue. These colors cor
respond TO the titles of the three
pledges which the society makes use Of.
Upon each face of the fountain the
wording of one of the pledges is paint
ed in bold letters, the color OF the pledge
contrasting with that Of the particular
side of the tank upon which it appears.
-Four faucets project from each side of
the tank.

While upon a concert tour in New
ENGLAND he went into a BARRIERS shop
in a small town, where he was to play,
in order to be shaved. As he entered
the shop he found the barber fiddling
away with more strength than skill.
As the barber began to lather the mu-
sician's face, the latter remarked, - So,
you play the violin?" 40, yes, was
the reioinder; " am going to hear the
famous Ole Bull tonight, and | expect
a great treat. Have you ever heard
him?" GOTTEN" said the violinist.
How do you like his playing?" con-
tinued the barber. 90, he plays pretty
well, but / am never fully satisfied with
his work" SIS it possible? " asked
the barber. "Well," said he, 81 am
going to hear him tonight and | shall
Judge for myself" When night came
Ole Bull discovered the barber in the
audience, most attentive listener.
When the violinist entered the shop
again the next morning to be shaved
the barber said, Il have broken my
fiddle all to pieces" Ole Bull made
him a present of good violin and gave
him, from time to time, some most
valuable instruction.
Meeting a beggar in the streets Of a
European city, he threw some money
into the hat Of the mendicant. "He is a
Dane" Ole Bull remarked to his COM
paniOn, "but he must not starve for all
that"
One instance is recalled when. hear
inc that a distinguished clergyman had
been engaged to give lecture for the
benefit Of a struggling parish and had
taken more than the receipts for his
pay, Mr.. Bull volunteered his services
and freed the society from debt. He
was far from being well on the night Of
the concert, but he braved the inclem-
ent weather, saying: " If this had been
an engagement, whereby | was to re-
ceive payment, | should have felt like
breaking it, owing to illness, but can
not be excused when such anoble cause
is to be assisted"
He disliked rules and creeds with a
feeling approaching detestation. He
created his own canons Of art and he
changed them at pleasure. A we'll
known Boston conductor once pleasant
ly accused Mr.. Bull of never playing
the same piece in the same tempt. "Of
course not" was the reply; " any one
can follow the time in the same old
way; | never feel in the same mood
twice. Why should | always play in
the same time and with the same color?
It is your plodding nobody who is sat-
isfed. l am ambitious" The conduc-
tor appreciated the wit, if rot the logic,
of the reply.
1t had been his intention to write
work upon the violin, and he had, in
fact, laid out the work, but it is feared
that many of the suggestions he might
have at least submitted to students of
music will not be given to the world,
unless his widow, who is thoroughly con-
versant with his ideas, should think
proper to publish them.

CROCODILE TEARS.

On the banks oft Nile IN old crocodile
Lay summing himself one day,
And he gently did Groom an attempt at tune,
As he watched some small chilIren at play
At play
As he watched some small children at play.
He pOndered awhile, aud a hungering smile
Revealed the extent of his jaw;
He was twenty feet long, was uncommonly
strong,
And his teeth were arrnaged like a saw
Like a saw
And his teeth were arranged Ikea saw.
He used every vile their hearts to beguile,
As toward them he cstealthily stole;
He balanced each scale, and wag[el his tail,
Then gObbled those children up whole
Up whole
Then gObbled those children up whole.
And such is the style of this Old crocodile,
He sheds bitter tears DER his prey;
He was filled with deep gloom when ne
thought Of their doom,
And he wept all the rest Of the day
The day
And he wept all the rest of the day.

Taking Liberties With a Friend.

There was ward meeting at Calves
ton few nights ago and the coming
man made little speech to the boys.
Among those present was Gilhooly, who
was supposed to be a friend of the COM
inc man. Much to the surprise of the
speaker, as soon as he got under way
Gilhooly began to be disagreeable.
When the coming man went on to say
how much he loved to serve the people,
Gilhooly said, in loud voice: THAT )
a lie, and you know it." The coming
man did not care to have row and en-
deavored to proceed quietly, but Gil
hooly kept on making such remarks as:
"What was your name before you came
to Texas?n You amt fit to be elected
dog pelter, and you know it." Finally
patience ceased to be a virtue and Gil
hooly was elected Next day the COM
ing man met Gilhooly, who told him he
was sorry that he interrupted the meet
inc and abused him so, but it was a
sacred duty he owed himself. "What
do you mean by abusing me that way?"
said the coming man. "Well, you see,
the other fellow that is running against
you has promised me a deputyshlp if l
1nlaca him under nhliratinns- ! hone
you won't object to my taking little lib
critics with an old friend like you by
calling you thief and rascal occa-
sionally." "You needn't abuse me to
help him. You can 90 about praising
him, if you want to-" Il can't con-
scientiously do so. | can't praise him,
because 1 have no respect for him; so,
you see, l have to abuse you because
you are a gentleman. 1t would hurt
my feelings to have you think l would
praise a man who did not deserve it. "

"reminiscences OF Ole Bull.

Mr.. Dexter Smith contributes to the
Boston Herod some interesting reminis-
cencos Of Ole Bull: The violinist was
very abstemious and careful liver. He
drank no strong liquors and never ate
to excess. His food was simple, con-
sisting largely Of fruit and vegetables.
To this mode Of life may be attributed
his general good health. He was re-
markablv neat and simple in his attire.
He never wore heels upon his shoes or
boots, contending that they had the
effect Of giving the body an unnatural,
stooDing posture. He had a great aver
sion to hypocrisy and aflectation. Upon
one occasion, visitor laughed immod-
eratelv at one of the violinist's witty
stories and afterward apOlOgized for
seeming rudeness. co." said Mr.. Bull,
ado not mind. like to see any one

inc nor crying when you feel like it. 1t
is strange that human nature is prone
to make an excuse for its better inn

"the Germans bang away with THEN
mechanical exactness and endless
harmonies, but they neglect the
purer. sweet melodies which reach the
heart of the people. The majority OF
the p1blic have no time to read between
the fines" Captious critics have averred
that Ole Bull was not a classical musi-
clan, because he played folk songs and
catered to the taste of the public.

Many anecdotes might be related to
illustrate his wonderful goodnature and

called upon him to invite him TO take a
ride in the suburbs Of Boston. At about
