The famous Gold OF Ophir rose tree on
the Mad dox farm. in Eld dorado county, Gal. !,
was recently destroyed By violent wind.
It's stem WAS twenty six inches in circum-
ference, the shrub itself had grown around
ping in its upward progress only because
there was nothing upon which to climb
higher. When in full bloom q splendid
mass of golden flowers concealed the oak
entirely from view with d blaze Of glory

A few days ago, while the hy-,wheel Of
this Winchester Arms manufactcry. in New
Haven was revolving SO rapidly that the
spokes were in aisting liable, the engineer
noticed a white blotch revolving with it, but
surprising that it was merely sunlight fall
ing on the wheel, he at first made no in-%
yestigation. Two hours and half later he
observed that the white streak was still
there, and. having stopped the engine, he
discoyere d to his amazon ent that the appira.
sttson was a substantial white cat which had
been clinging to one OF the spokes since
the wheel started She was very much ex-
hausted, and the numberless revolutions
had made herself crosseyed, but she has
since recovered her strength and visual per-
lection and become the pet Of the estab-
lishment, # l4@sf 81. S p si5 s;5
A Cinsinnatian who had insured his life
went III swimming last summer, was taken
with cramps and was drowned. The in
surance company refused to pay, pleading
that death was not caused BY bodily infrrn
tiles or disease bilt was the Tesult0f volun-
tary exposure to obvious and unnecessary
dangers, and that the nature and cause of
death was incapable Of positive proof.
Judge Johnston, however, said that it could
not have been the intention Of these COM
panies, whose principal Offices were
located on the sea Hoard, to exclnda its
policy holders from enjoying swimming
ana bathing, and that the evidence showed
that death was ocoasloned by cramps.
