Mr.. Suter has given to correspondent Of
the London Standard st salonica M account
Of the experiences be had while captive Of
the brig,nds:
'On the night Of the capture, immediate.
" after separating from his wife, he was
hurried on TO distance Of twelve miles
from Isvor, where he was hidden oil the fol.
lowing day. For nearly fortnight his
hiding place was changed every night. Ills
arms were kept bound, and two men were
always standing over him with loaded rifles
Tor two days after he was taken. The
brlgands were composed Of two bands, one
0i thirteen. under Captain Aris'idi and
Ghiorghi katzaro; the other OF twelve,
under Captain Nicola. Some Of the brigands
were Ottoman Greeks, some lIellenes.
others Christian Albanians and dcserters
from the Greek army. There was always
great discord between the two bands, and
In their quarrcls the captiye's life was often
In great danger. Mr.. Sutcr and his captOrs
slept on leaves upon the ground. The days
were mostly spent In dancing, drinking and
singing when the brigands were not absent
on foraging expeditions, and part Of their
time was passed In playing cards and In
telling stories Of murders and exploits. The
brigands used most prOiane and blasphem.
Gus language; but they were superstitious,
and were strict In their religious observ-
ances. They tasted the whole OF Lent,
and celebrated Easter Day with great so.
lemnity."
Then follows an account Of the negOtia.
tons for aud payment Of the ransom leading
to the release Of Mr. Suter. The correspond.
ent adds:
"During Mr.. Suter's captivity sentres
were always posted at advantageous posi-
tions. They wore capes to cover their arms,
The brigand, were all capital shots, and we'll
armed. Some Of their rifles were Martini's
Of the Turkish pattern. and some were Chas.
scpo's with Mcssageries Imperialcs marks,
and one was Of Greek pattern. The brigands
had no difficulty Ia procuring ammunition.
They were most suspicious Of being poi.
soned. Whenever provisions were brought
the peasants were forced to taste every.
thing. They were well informed as to al
that was passing In Salonics and in the whole
Of Macedonia. They were supplied with
Greek newspapers. and they took q lively
interest In the negotiation, about the recti.
ncatiOn Of the Greek frontier"

Important Decision 70 Settlers 1n Pub.

WARRINGTON, June II.

"ADWIN0ToN, JUNO II.
Judge Lawrence, Fint Comptroller Of the
Treasury. yesterday delivered On opinion
touching the rights Of settlers upon public
lands that will be Of interest throughout the
entire West. The law Of Congress relstin.
to railroad lands provides that alternate sec.
tions shall be taken by the Railroad Com.
pany for its grant, but that the odd section,
whea sold shall command double the mini.
mum price, namely. $l.sS per acre. Las,
year Congress passed . law providina
that where . purchaser has paid double
the minimum price for land which ID found
70 be outside the ten.mile limit Of the Rail.
road grant, One.hslf the amount paid shall
30 refunded to him Or bis heirs and assigns.
A case under this law came before the
Comptroller November II, 1850. Nathan
Alspsch purchased quarter section Of land
near Augusta, Kan, and paid 1880 pei
acre for 1t. II WAS alterward found that the
land lay without The ten.mile limit Of the
Railroad grant, and Alspach applied for .
repayment Of $l.& per acre, The
Ftrst Comptroller wrote and inquired
Of him II he bad In any wav In.
cumbered the land. Alspach replied that
ne had sold the. land, but had not trans.
ferred hls claim for rebate from tho Govern.
ment. The Comptroller to-day decided that
under the law OF Congress mentioned above
the claim for repayment runs with the ca.
tate, and that, having sold the estate. AIS.
Pacn had no claim upon The Government.
Out that It accrued to bis vendee. UDon this
ruling the Treasury Department rejected the
claim. IVY

Among the editorial notes of the
Boston journal OF Chemistry we read
Of lunatic dying in a Partisan
Asylum at the age Of 1903, after residing
there 81 years. His insanity was caused
by injury to the brain by the falling of
glass, and it left him with the idea that
his body was composed of glass. With
this haliucinatiOn he almost never moved

Says the Olympia Nv. T.) Tran
script: During snOw-storm, a year
ago last winter, q good sized tree fell
between two others. As it was across
the road the butt was cut off, and af-
terward fire burned more of it. The
tree still hangs several feet from the
ground, and is green and growing. The
supposition is that the sap from the two
trees, between which it fell, keeps it
alive.
AT wedding in Frederick, Nd, a

in the face OF the miniser, and seemed
to ask the meaning of all this. The dog
then, taking in the solemnity of the &C.
casion, stretched himself out on the
train of the brides satin dress, and re.
manned there until the marriage service
was concluded.

Queer Proceedings Of Nevada Tree.

A gentleman OF this place has a tree
which is q species of acacia. It was
grown from . seed brought from Aus
tralia. The tree is now 5 sapling eight
feet in height, and it is in full foliage
and growing rapidly. 1t is leguminous,
and very clearly shows the characteris-
tics Of the mimosa, or sensitive plant.
Regularly every evening, about the time
the ''chickens 60 to roost, the tree goes
to roost. The leaves fold together, and
the ends Of the tender twigs coil them
selves up like the tail of 3 well.condi.
toned pig. After one Of the twigs has
been stroked or handled, the leaves
move uneasily and are in a sort OF mild
commotion for minute or more. All
this was known about the tree, but it
was only yesterday that it was discov-
cred that the tree had in it much more
of life and feeling than it had ever sbe-
fore been credited with. The tree be.
ing in quite small pot, one which II
was fast outgrowing, it was thought best
to give it one of much larger size. Yes.
terday afternoon the tree was transfer
red to its new quarters. Itrescnted the
operation of its removal to the best of
its ability.
Arriving at h;s residence about the
time the tree had been t,ansplanted, the
gentleman found the house in a grand
commOtion. On asking what was up. he
was told that they had transplanted the
tree according TO orders and the opera.
ton had "ma,le it very mad" Hardly
had it been placed in its new quarters
before the leaves began to stand up in
all directions like the hair on the tail Ut
an angry Cat, and soon the whole pla..t
was in q culver. This could have been
endured, but at the same time it gave
out an odor most pungent and sickening
just such = smell as is given off by
rattlesnakes and many other kinds Of
snakes in summer when leased. This
odor so filed the house and was so
sickening that it was found necessary to
open the doors and windows. It was
fully an hour before the plant Gained
down and folded its leaves in peace. Il
would probably not have given up the
fight even then had it not been that its
time for going to roost had arrived. It
IL probably needless to add that the
whole household now stand in not . lit
tie awe Of the plant as being . thing more
animal Tor reptile) than vegetable.
