A very slight declivity suffices to give

The gigantic Rio de la Plata has so gen

TREES WITH A HISTORY.

In one grove in California are 1880
trees, none measuring less than six feet
in diameter.
A magnificent white oak stands in the
Quaker burying ground i'll Salem, N. j.
1t is more than two hundred years old,
and is remarkable for it's amplitude of
shade. In one direction it's branches
have spread of liz feet. IA
The tallest trees in the world are in
Australia. A fallen tree is Gippsland
measured 435 feet from the root to the
highest point of the branches. Another
standing in the DundenOng District in
Victoria is estimated to BE- 400 feet from
the ground to the top. aa
The largest chestnut tree in the coun-
try is growing on the farm of Solomon
Merkle, at Berks, Penn, and is nearly
forty feet in circumference at the base.
The top of the tree is reached without
danger by steps that are fastened be-
tween the limbs. 1t is estimated that
this tree contains about seventeen cords
of wood. 1t still yields about three
bushels of chestnuts annually. ~
Arusset apple tree in Skowhegan, Me-,
was planted in 1862. In it's branches a
playhouse for children has been built for
half century or more. The tree is
seven feet from the ground to the
branches, five in number, all of which
are very large, and average thirty-five
feet in length, coverings space ofground
sixty three feet in diameter. 1t is more
than four and one-half feet in diameter,
and has yielded an average of thirty
bushels of apples each year. A sprout
from this apple tree stands thirty-two
feet from the parent stem, but is forty
eight years younger.

AQUEER TRADE.

London Times. t
France, always fertile In discovering
new professions for her children, has
just invented anew occupation. A man
goes about the streets of Paris bearing i,
small tray covered with green cloth.
On this tray are q pack of cards, a set
Of dOminOes and dice-box. With this
stock-in-trade, the man, who styles
himself 'L'Amateur," goes to the houses
of invalids or idle persons, and for u
small fee plays with them at any Of the
games which can be managed with
such properties as cards, dice and domi-
noes. 1t is said that the "imateur'
makes comfortable living by this dis
covery of want in the social organiza-
ton Of Paris. Undoubtedly this anna
teur card-player is mnch mere likely to
be in demand than the semi-mythOlogi-
cal Quatorzieme, who was supposed at
one time to earn q livelihood in Paris by
attending dinner parties, where, through
some mistake, the number Of guests was
the fatal thirteen This number four
teen was expected to entertain the COM
pany with brilliant conversation, and
was said to receive a large fee for his
services. But the persons giving dinners
who SO far defy the laws laid down by
Brillat-Savarin as to be in any danger Of
finding themselves at the eleventh hour
with thirteen at table are comparatively
few, and there must have been seasons
when the Quat0rzieme had but q dull
time of it.

THE BURIED CITIES.

&c. c." in letter from Italy to the
Baltimore American, says:
"In the year of our Lord 70 Vesuvins
had an uncommon eruption, which sud
denly and very completely buried out
of sight the cities Of Pompeii and Her
culaneum; and they remained SO buried
for sixteen hundred years-until early
in the last century, when their sites
were accidentally discovered. After
much patient labor and at enormous ex-
pense, about one-third part of these dead
and buried cities have been dug up and
the excavations are still going on.
Vast treasures of gold and silver, rare
statuary, paintings and household uten-
sils were recovered, in good condition,
and many of these are now preserved in
the National Museum at Naples. The
paved streets have been cleared Of the
rubbish, and compare favorably with
those of the cities of to-day. The hous-
es are open to inspection, and one can
easily gather from them good idea Of
the manner of life among people who
were buried into eternity with such
frightfnl celebrity eighteen hundred years
ago. fr
There is large museum just within
the main gate of Pompeii, in which are
stored vast numbers of articles recover
ed from the uncovered houses. There
are bottles, vases, plates, caps, lamps,
money boxes, jars, door locks, bolts,
bells, eggs, nuts, pieces Of bread, dried
fruits, glasses, candle sticks, ladies,
scales. needles, baskets tunnels, etc.
But. among all these familiar things. !
was most impressed with an iron safe
an actual iron safc-identical in pattern
with those knobbed articles that only a
few years ago were considered the best
soles in the world for banking houses
and counting rooms. And yet, dozens,
of persons have within fifty years, ia.
ken out patents for newly invented safes
saw also lot of tish-hooks of the
identical pattern now so eagerly priced
by'anglers-the veritable' Limerickhook.
Is the world progressing! And then
there are PROSTATE figures Of men and
Monochrome of the latter evidently on
the point of becoming a mother-skele-
tons of horses, cats, dogs and rats. And
there are mony skulls-one of them still
retaining some of its hair. All these
dreadful trophies snatched from the
Jaws of death serve to illustrate the ter.
rors of that dreadful night when fire and
birthstone rained upon the devoted cities
and wrapped them in darkness Of death
and desolation."

Alexander yassilwitch Ellsaief,
medical student. and author Of many
articles that have from time to time ap-
peared In Russian journals, and an in
defatigable student of the archaeology
and anthropology Of the ancient pro-
vince Of Novgorol, arrived on the It'll
ult., on the estate Of, Mr.. Nassilief, in
old Russia, in order to hunt wolves. He
was desired to stay the night at the
house, and not to face the dangers Of
the chase alone. 70 this he agreed, but
when Mr., yassilief, who had been oblig-
ed to absent himself during the day, re-
turned in the evening, he learned that
his guest had left the house about four
o'clock in the afternoon. Hisreturn was
looked for from hour to hour, but the
whole of the night passed without his
arrival. On the following day, towards
evening, peasant brought intelligence
that the young man had been torn to
pieces and devoured by wolves. When
search was made the snow was found
to be covered with blood stains, and scat
tered around were pieces Of clothes and
hunting appurtenances. Not far from the
place were found several large bones,
and the stock of the students gun, with
the barrel broken off in the life anu
death struggle which he had evidently
maintained with his numerous foes. The
many wolf tracks and blood stains all
around showed that severe struggle
had taken place, and that several of the
animals had been killed and devoured
by their fellows.

A sAILoR.s YARN.

In book written by Rear Admiral
Werner, of the German navy, q strange
story is told of the way in which many
years ago, in 1886, French man-of-war
went down with all hands on board in
West Indian waters. The ship had been
in, commission for two years on the An
titles station, and during the whole of
the time her captain, who is described
as an incarnation of cruelty, had exer-
cised his ingenuity in tormenting in ey-
cry possible way both the officers aud
men of his crew. SO well had he sue
ceeded that the lives Of all on board had
been rendered burden to them. while
the captain himself was hated with an
intensity of which proof was soon to be
given.
Orders at length came for the ship to
return home. Not long after the anchor
had been weighed it became evident
that a heavy squalI was coming down
on the ship, and the captain directed
the officer Of the watch to shorten sail.
The orders were given, but not a man
moved. Again the orders were repeated
this time by the captain himself; but
still not q man moved.
'''This is mutiny," cried the captain,
and then bundled voices answered:
ave will not shorten sail"
In vain the terrified captain appealed
to the officers to support him. They
stood silent, and neither threats nor
promises availed to make man or officer
move, save only few who were noted as
spies and favorites of the captain. A
few minutes more and the squall struck
the ship. In moment the vessel was
thrown upon her beam-ends.
"Cut away the mastsw shouted the
captain; but still not a man moved.
In another minnie, however, the rig.
ging was carried away, the masts went
by the board, and thus relieved, the
ship righted herself. Then the long.
suppressed rage of the crew broke forth
and, rushing aft, they seized the captain
A few minutes more and he would have
followed the rigging, but the first lieu
tenant, going below, opened the door o.
the magazine and fired his pistol into it
There was a loud report, and the ship
was no more. An hour afterward ar
American vessel passing over the spot
picked up one of the crew, who told the
story of what had happened, and died
shortly afterward

to do in life. Four or i've years ago the
elder brother came to Missouri and
bought farm near Butler, in Bates
county. The younger brothers followed
soon after, and the four lived together
on the place, the Oldest being married.
Neighbors looked upon them as people
Of means and respectable. For two or
three years all sorts of devilments
were perpetrated in and abont Butler.
Persons were waylaid and robbed by
disguised men.
Mails were rifed, burglaries commit
ted and hogs stolen. At length suspi-
ciOn centered OH the Greenwades, and
they were watched by the officers and
citizens, and at last caught "dead to
rights" Mail pouches cut open and
rifed, were found in the cellar, and
other stolen property on their premises.
Conviction was easy, and, they were
landed in the penitentiary. At the
time stated, the, mother, hearing her
sons were in trouble, posted in haste to
Bates county, only to learn that they
had all been convicted Of crimes and
taken to the State Prison. With her
daughter-in-law and the latter's two
children, she reached Jefferson City, to-
day, and at once proceeded to the peni-
tertiary. The meeting with her sons
terribly affecting, and it asserted Depu-
ty Warden Bradbury, for once in his
life, gave way to the melting mood.
"My God" she exclaimed, ''that a
mother should live to see four of her be-
loved boys in such place."
The officials were kind and tender to
the afflicted ones, but they had at last
to use force in separating the mother
from her sons and induced her to leave

all fifteen colorea persons there, among
them being ex-senator Bruce, ex-gov-

Robert Elliott, once u member of the
House from Louisiana, Robert Hanlan,
of Cincinnati, who follows running rae
ing meetings for living, and is known
To all horsCmen, and three or four other
colored men who are less known, en-

Each WAS accompanied by his lady
friends. They formed little party Of
their own, and made up u set for the
first dance, lanciers, about twenty
five feet from where the presidential
set would have danced had Mr.. Gar
fiele consented to take part. There
they remained all the evening, taking
part Ill every square dance that was on
the programme. Some Of the younger
of the party all Of whom were mu-
lattocs except Elliott and his wife, and
one little black barber named Ellsworth,
who works III one of the hotels here -

how they did not seem to grab the

well educated, and have an intense
weakness for diamonds. rs does Pinch
