Nine Noteworthy Trees.

An elm near LaWrenceburg, Tenn, Is
los feetin diameter from tip 10 tip of its
branches, aud 500 feet in circumference.
George Fl. Cook, Of Lancaster, Pa,
has a pear tree i'll his yard which recent
~ had ripe fruit and blossoms on its
branches at the same time.
a Pennsylvania walnut tree that was
hollow and nine feet in diameter was
sawed down lately, and the stump is
used as a pen for a number OF hogs.
4 cherry tree in Carter county, Ky, il
thirteen and a half feet in circumference
and sixty feet high, and its branches
shade a plot forty-three feet across.
Near the Fair street depot, Kingston,
n. Y, is Il grand old elm. It isof bou-
quet shape, and during the present sea-
son over 200 birds built nests in its
branches.
At the mouth Of Grassy Run, in
S%pringhill township, Pa, there stood a
| sycamore tree that was hollow at the
butt, and Joshua Brooks used it as a
stable for his horse.
In Green county, Miss, is double
pine tree which has two distinct trunks
twenty feet apart, uniting thirty feet
above the ground, forming at that point
one solid trunk, round and symmetrical.
A tree recently cuttin Mexico, Mo.
measured nine feet through, near the
ground, and was ITO feet high. The first
limb grew out at a height Of thirty feet
from the roots. The tree was at least
800 years old. When it fell twelve SPUR
rels and one coon were killed.
IN the village of Pedur, India, grows
a marvellous palm. Some children
plueked its fruit ats o'clock n after
noon, and f1ocked early the next morn
ing to gather more, but they found the
branches now far above their heads.
They ran to their parents with the story
that a date tree which they saw. on the
previous day lying upon the ground was
now standing. Observation disclosed
that the tree had been changing its po-
sition every morning and evening. The
tree is eleven feet high, not including
the leaves and stems. One who has seen
it writes: "At 81 the tree was almost
lying toward the west. The foot of the
treewas at an angle Of five to seven de-
grees with the ground, and we were
given to understand that it had already
commenced to rise from 4 o'clock. A
handkerchief which had been tied by
the District Munsif to one of the leaves,
so that its other end might just touch
the ground, had risen six inches. AT s
p. N. the kerchief was eighteen inches
from the ground, and at a. M. nine
feet.

ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER,

ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER, in his late report to Congress, makes a most sensible and timely suggestion when he recommends that an addl- tlonal judge be appointed in all the Territories, or that a United States circuit judge be appointed as in the states. This is subject which the EpIrAPH has often had occasion to refer to, and urge upen our delegate in Congress to assist Tn accomplish ing, and which we feel confident a Democratic Congress will grant.

CURIOUS PATIENTS.

Some Investigating person. has fur nished the New York Times with brief list of patents, on small things, which, in many instances, have proved great mines of wealth to the lucky discoverer. The list might bo ex- tended to a much larger number, but we only state those given Tn the Times. Among these trihes is the favorlte toy--the ''return ball"- a wooden ball with an elastic string attached, selling for ten cents each, but yielding to its patcntee an in- come equal to s50,O0O year. The rubber tip on the end of lead pencils affords the owner of the royalty an independent fortune. The inventor of the gummed newspaper wrapper is also rich man. The gimlet pointed screw has evolved n ore wealth than most silver mines, and the man who first thought of putting copper tips to children's shoes i; as well of as ii his father had left ilim $2,O00,OOC in United States bends. Although reller skates are not so much used in countries where ic,, is abundant, in South America, especially in Brazil, they arc very highly esteemed, aad have yielded over sl,00O,O0O to .heir inventor. But he had to spend $l25,- 900 in England, alone, fighting in. Judgements. The "dancing Jim Crow," a toy, provides an annual in- cose of $75,00O to its inventor, and the common needle threader is worth $10,000 year to the man who thought of it. The "drive we'll" was an idea of Colonel Green, whose troops, during the war, were in want of water. He conc eived the notion of driving two-lueh tube into the ground until water was reached and then attaching pump This simple contrivance was patented after the war, and the tens of thousands of farmers who have adopted it have been obliged to pay him a royalty, a moderate estimate of which is placed at s3,000,000. The spring window shade yields an income of $l00,000 a year; the stylograpflc pen also brings ia slO0,0O0 yearly; the marking pen, for shading in different colors, SlO0,. 900; rubber stamps, the same. A very large fortune has been reaped by western miner, who, ten years since, invented metal rivet or eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat and pants pockets, to resist the strain caused by the carriage of pieces ot ore and heavy tools.

HE Globe. Democrat says: "There is some prospect that gold will be- gin to come. in from abroad again
 before long" We are not aware as to the source from which this journal obtained its information, but as it is in general truthful paper the an- nouncement is hailed with inexpress- ibo delight. We should like to see some gold in from abroad, or any other seaport, as it IS as rare here as a clean coat collar. But apropos of gold, we find from the journal re- ferred to that our merchandise i'm ports in the nine months ended Sep. tember 30 amounted to $57G,673,274, as against $497,225,444 in the same period last year, while the exports of domestic merchandise for the same periods respectively amounted to $509,42S,417 and $604, 4,l4O,3G3. Also that it appears from Comptroller Knox's report that the expansion of the currency, which has been going on since 1878, is now very much less rapid than year or two ago. The money in the country at resumption, January l, 1879, amounted to 1,055- 353619; November l of that year there was Sl, ,lG5,553,503; November l, 1880, $1 302,71S,126; November l, 1881, $1 ,445, 5,GSl, ,702, and November l, 1882, $1, ,4SS,S3S,5 ,554, During the last s.year the increase has been only

IT looks 7efy much as though the boasts of the Camerons, of Pennsylva- mia, that their power is not yet broken, were firmly grounded in truth. Senator Mitchell, who led the revolt against the old machine, is now reported as saying that he does not believe in making further war upon Senator Cameron, and sees no sense in trying to prevent him from being a candidate for the senate, two years hence. The plain English of that is that Senator Mitchell's in- dependence has run out just as soon as he has shown his strength and had it's value recognized by the Cameron clan. It is safe to predict that there will not be much more of revolt in the Republican party of Pennsylvania against the Cameron misrule. The differences between the factions, which all along have been merely a contest for spells, will be healed and the old regime will be revived. Once again the lion and the lamb will lie down together, with the lamb inside the lion. That is the usual result of the reform within the party that the Republican leaders have been SC persistent in urging.

THE Democrats who have won the late splendid victory, should rcmem- Der that their party has before it the opportunity of possessing the govern melt of the Unitedi States, and of remaining in such possession, on good behavior. I; will be worth something, Tn the 'uture, to have a good Democratic record. Taking the year of grace 1882 as the starting point-as a scrt of Jubilee episode political consistency will count for much. ALE dslinquencies to that date will be ignored. Let no aspir- ing Democrat or defeated 1ndepend- ent fancy that, hereafter, he can play fast and loose with the party, and betray it at his leisure, with no loss of:prestige or party standing. Should he essay the treacherous experiment, he will find himself ruled out by an iron wall composed of Demesrats, who know their rights, and knowing will dare maintain them, from any future advancement in the parry. Let ali men who contributed to the late glorious victory stand by thek guns.

PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL.


 We have before us communica- tion signed "Democrat, "the substance of which is that the EPITAPH should use its influence for the election of democrat to the position of president of the council of the twelfth territo- rial legislature. We extract the fol- lowing: .
 "The greatest enemy of the EPI- TAPn will acccord it the proud posi-, ton of being one if not the most powerful and influential journal in Arizona. Its brilliant and vigorous fight contributed more than anything else to the democratic victory of the late county campaign. But after winning the battle it should not hand the banner over to the republicans, but exert every effort to secure the complete organization of the legisla- ture. I, with many democrats, do not doubt but Mr. Wiley would make just and able presiding officer, but we are looking at it in purely polit- cal point of view, and as such deem it your duty to support and urge the claims of some good democrat.
 As will be observed, "Democrat" insists 1t is our "duty to support and urge the claims of some good demo crat." But as we look at it, our first "duty" is to the people and material interests of the county. The present council is republican, and, according to usage, will be organized by that party by the election of all the off cers, and consequently appointment of all the commitrees. Therefore, to "urge the election of some good dem- ocrat" wonld be sheer folly, as it is not within the range of possibility. Such being the case, we support the republican whose election will con- tribute most largely to the interests and benefit of Cochise. Such man we believe the Hon. E. H. Wiley to be. The vote at the late election shows that he was warmly supported by large number of democrats, his majority of 334 being about the aver age democratic majority. If the party of which we are a humble member has confidence in his ability and in tegrity as legislator, why should not we repose the same faith in him as presiding officer? He represents the great paramount industry of this section. His honesty and veracity have neversEsen doubted. Ills busi- ness qualifications and executive ability are everywhere admitted. He is good parliamentarian, d scholar and gentleman, and if selected tc preside over the deliberations of the council will do so with dignity and impartiality to all. He will favor nc particular interests to the exclusion or detrim mt of others, and while ever watohful to advance the genera good orthe territory, will be faithfu and energetic in battling for the rights and advancement of his con
 stituents. Such are our reasons fo
 iavoring his election to the honorabl,
 position to which his politics assur,
 him, and to which the growing pros
 perity and great wealth of Cochis'
 cutitle her.
