An Iron Tree.

The iron palmetto is the greatest work
of art in the State House yard at Colum-
bia, 8. @. This is casting wholly of
iron, commemorating the death of many
of Carolins's slain, whose names are
found in raised letters on two brass tab
lets at the base. The success of the
casting consists in its perfect imitation
of the living palmetto-the favorite tree
of South Carolina. We had heard of
this statue in other places, but had
never been able to believe the stories of
the flexible leaves bending in the breeze,
supposing this phenomenon an optical
delusion; but such is really the case.
The long, thin leaves of iron, lifelike
even to the hair-like fibers OF the twigs
and branches, wave TREMENDOUSLY in every
zephyr. and the whole tree, painted ar
tistically, has so close q resemblance to
the real tree as to deceive the acutest OBJ
server at distance.-f Syracuse Stan

Some weeks ago we stated our inten-
ton of printing considerable mass of
correspondence throwing light upon the
life of Lord Byron. Since this announce
ment was made we have received an in
timation that the publication of
of these letters would be distaste
full to several OF the members of the
Leigh and Byron families, This is some-
what surprising, for, as we mentioned.
the effect of publishing the correspond
ence-and tnrther examination con-
firms the opinion we expressed would
be to prove the groundIessness of the
horrible suggestions made public In
1869, and we should have supposed that
the representatives of the Leigh family
would have desired to see Mrs. Leigh's
memory cleared of the aspersions of Mrs.
Beecher Stowe. There is nothing in the
documents that does not rebound to the
credit of Lord Byron and his sister.
Still, as we wish as far as may be to defer
to the wishes of their relatives, we shall
not for the preseut take further steps in
the matter London Athneum.

President Arthur,s Double.

Many persons say that they saw Presi-
dent Arthur at Coney Island on Sunday.
He was first observed at the Flatbush
avenue gate, where he was greeted by
conductor who met him in Washington
many time. As it was raining very
hard the conductor told him to go into
the close car, where it was warmer and
where he could smoke if he chose. The
President thanked his old friend for his
kindness and promised him good place
as soon as he returned to Washington.
After rafting through the rain for
twenty minutes the train with it's pre-
cious freight. arrived at Coney Island
There the President stepped ont of the
car and into the hotel, where he was met
by his old acquaintance Breslin. who
had been already notified of his coming
by telegraph. They shook hands cor
daily, and though Mr.. Breslin was
rather surprised at such an un-
expected meeting and the fact
the President was alone, he
made no special remark about it and
ordered a few bottles of wine to be
placed on ice. As soon as the extra dry
had time to get properly cooled Mr..
Breslin and his guests toasted the health
of the Union, its President and all others
in authority, in foaming gobiets. It is
said that after the wine was drunk the
gentleman who had thus far been taken
for the President, revealed the fact that
he was none other than the proprietor of
a Fulton street shoe shop, who knowing
his very close resemblance to President
Arthur, thought it might not be out of
place on such rainy day to make
little fun where all seemed so gloomy
and cherries. Meanwhile there is only
one word which described the feelings of
his entertainer at the Brighton, and that
is "Mumm. - Brooklyn Eagle.

Qain.ns aad Qainldine Bark.

It is now reported that bark contain
ing quirine and quinidine, and current
ly known as Cuprea cinchona, imported
from Columbia, has recently had sale
in England comparable to the entire
am ount of the importation OF chinchona
bark from ell other countries. The
afinities of the tree which produce it,
hitherto unknown, have been traced out
by NJ. Triana. who has found that the
bark has chiefly derived from two species
of Remiiia, . genus of which no species
was previously known to contain quinine.
The tree is likely to prove valuable for
cultivation in countries whore malarial
feyers abound. It grows at an elevation
of from 600 to 8 300 feet above the sea.
where even red chinchona will not
flourish.

A peculiar fancy in woman's leg at
tire is thus described by a correspondent
(female) of the Detroit Free Press:
1.-The costliest pair of shoes I have ever
seen covered the petal extremities of a
New York lady 500 was paid for them.
The same lady wore pair of stockings
which cost $50. They were made of
black silk, and midway between the
ankle and the knee was green tree en-
broidered in silk, and resting upon the
branches of the tree were bright-plumed
birds, some in the act of hyirg. On the
'sbulge" or larger part of the stocking
was huntsman, clad in red shirt and
trousers. taking aim at the birds in the
tree. Upon the instep was the mono
gram of the lady wrought in gold letters.
Between the knee and the upper part of
the stocking were eighteen narrow bands
o. many varying hues.

Fraudulent Certificates.

number Of fraudulent United States GER
tifcates of deposit, purporting TO have

THE NEW BANK NOTE.

Under the provisions Of the recent bank
charter bill, it will be necessary to issue new
circulating notes to all the banks whose
charters expire, and to call in for cancella-
ton the notes now outstanding. II will be
a relief to get rid Of some Of The old bills
which have passed through SO many dirty
hands and into SO many filthy pockets,
though these bits Of paper have been very
welcome in their time. Comptroller Knox
has decided upon the size and character OF
the new notes. The five dollar notes are 10
have yignette of the late President Gar
field executed in the engraver's best style.
The scene on the back of the present bank
notes. representing the landing Of Column
bus, will give place TO finely executed lathe
work, and in the center the charter number
of each particular bank. On the border of
the face OF the note, instead Of a number or
letters TO designate the denomination Of the
note, there will be the charter number of
the bank, so that if any part of the note is
torn or separated the smaller pieces can be
identified by the charter number. Altogeth-
er, the new notes are expected TO be an i'm
provement in appearance upon the old ones,
but in the absence of the former the average
inhabitant Of the country will continue to
be just as greedy as ever for the possession
of the latter.
