and we suppose the something to be

therefore excites those hopes, by the
very safe promise that If during a

keep them. That Germany will on

We have repeatedly called atten-
ton to the entire breakdown Of
French medical arrangements in
Tuns. A writer whose sincerity
and competence" are guara, teed by
the Times, and who is now stationed
at Carthage, declares that the anar-
chy in the hospital department is
frightfuI. The doctor may prescribe,
but the stewards aud attendants are
independent of him, and under the
commissariat, which is intent solely
on economy. The men are, there
fore, badly fed, neglected, and hous-
ed when sick with typhoid fever I'M
der canyas through which the rain
drips on them. In the main hospital,
the K|naireddin Palace, the drainage
is bad nothing is ever cleaned tho
roughly, and "the palace has become
a perfect sink of Infection" diph-
iberia having settled in it. No won
der that the recruits dread African
service, and that the mortality and
invading in the French regi-
ments are sometimes "ten times what
1t should be-" Some ancient tradi-
ton of the French Service seems
to prevent the only possible reform,
that of making the doctors written
order a sufficient warranty for the
Crmmissariat department,

The Guiteau trial does not even
appear approach its end, though the
facts are admitted, and though expert
after expert testifes that the accused
is perfectly sane. Indeed, he admits
this himself, only protesting that he
was insane when he assassinated
President Garfield. The extraordi-
nary want of decorum which has
characterised the trial throughout
still continues, Guileau being allowed
to interrupt when he pie lsss, to
abuse his own counsel, TO congratu-
late the audience on his pleasant
Christmas with good eating and Wis
its from ladies, and even to issue a
Christmas address to the American
public. That public, however. is
thoroughly disguised, and the Court
whichtricS him has been compelled by
opinion to order him into the dock,
where he ought to have been at first.
He has hitherto sat among the coun-
sci. Judge Cox, IN ordering him to
be removed, stated hat he had seen
no way of preventing his outbursts
without interfering with his consti-
tutional rights; but we fancy if
Guiteau had been an ordinary negro
murderer, a way would have been
found. 1t is argued that the trial
shows that any one, even a political
assassin, is sure of fair hearing in
the United States, but a fair hearing
does not include tire right to dis.
credit the administration of the law
by weeks of brutal buffoonery. After.
all, Gulteau has nothing to say, K
cep' that he was inspired, and that
everybody in Court, except himself
and the prosecuting counsel, Mr..
Corkhill, of whom he is afraid, is q
tool, or mad.

Morocco, whittier they canno be
followed without difficulties with
Spain. They will reappear in the
spring, but for the time they are out
of the field. In Tunis, General >auS-
sier and General Logerot have march
ed about most successfully, and have
been victorious in several skirmishes,
but the total result is nil. One pow
erful tribe of Arabs has retreated
into Tripoli, and small tribes, esti-

and would, but for Europe, be Khe-
dive, his opinions are important.
Great alarm is f6lt at Rome about
some negotiations between Prince
Bismarck and the Pope. 1t is fam
cied that the Prince offers the Vati-
can some assistance in compelling
Italy to quit Rome, as the price of
support with the UltramonIane Party
in Germany. The papers even urge
an alliance with Germany to prevent
any diplomatic discussion OF the
guarantees. II is certain that nego-
t%iatious are going on, but there is
no evidence whatever that they refer
in any way to the possession Of Rome,
which now belongs to Italy, with
the recorded assent of Europe. 1t is
much more probable, if Italy is un-
der discussion at al, that the Pope
has asked the Prince to propose that
the guarantees should be made an
international agreement, instead Of
as at present, a municipal law. Even
hat request would greatly embarrass
the Italian Government, which would
he in perpetual receipt IF interna,
tional complaints, and would be
worried as the Sultan is by the CAPT
tulatlons. A HINT is given by the
organs of TIE Government that if the
Pope is too troublesome, it may he

the next Pope that he shall not be
hostile to Italy, as otherwise The

a Wonderful Tree.

Clinton tN. - Cor. PHILADELPHIA Times.
a farmer living near Schooley noun
tain, has greatly excited his neighbors
by an account of a wonderful tree
which he discovered several years
since. He says that for three years it
has gone through the cold weather
without shedding leaf. 1t is a maple
tree, and its sap makes very good ma
pie sugar. The farmer noticed it while
following the trail of fox over the
mountain early in December, 1873.
All the other trees, even of the same
species, were entirely bare, while this
tree had not, to all appearances, lost a
single leaf. There were no dried leaves
underneath it, and the leaves on the
branches were all green. 1t was with
great difficulty that a leaf could be
pulled from the twig on which it was
fastened, and a strong breeze, which
was blowing at the time, had no effect
upon the leaves. So astonished was
the discoverer at the phenomenon that
he forgot all about the fox he was af-
ter and the cold character of the day,
and spent several hours examining the
tree. He went home greatly puzzled,
and returned several days later with
clergyman living in the vicinity. They
determined to mark several of the
leaves, and see how long they remained
where they were. They also resolved
to keep the thing a secret, and watch
its progress until spring. This they
did. When April arrived the leaves
which they had marked were just as
green and fresh as in December, and the
tree itself was not affected in the least
by the severity of the weather and the
many windy blasts.
The bark was tapped every week
and yielded plentiful supply of sap;
enough to keep both the farmers and
the minister's families in syrup all win
ter long. The same has been tried
ever since; not a leaf has fallen to
the best of their belief since the day
the tree was noticed, ana the sap has
flowed with the same regularity and
profusion. As far as can be ascer-
tained there Is no cause for the mys-
terious vitality Of that particular ma
pie. There is nothing in the soil or
sub-sOil to render growth more availa-
BILE or make the trunk and branches
better able to stand the storms aud cold
weather. A number of people have
lately visited the curiosity, but each
one comes away perfectly mystihed.
At the present time not another tree
ON the whole mountain, with the ex-
ception of several evergreens near the
hotels, has leaf on 1t. and the trunks
and branches stand out bleak and bare.
This maple is in an exposed spot, un-
protected from the winds and sur
rounded by rocks. Just why it is as it
is battles the ingenuity of all behold
ers. Even the regular December fox
hunt is cast in the shade by this per-
petually green maple tree.

The Reason Why.

There is many hard-working, striv-
ing farmer, who tolls early and late,
year in and year out, and who accumu-
lates a good deal of property around
him, perhaps, but who does not seem
to get on well in bis financial matters.
His purse is ever depleted, or his re-
sources and crops never meet expecta-
tions. In other words, the calls for
money are always greater than his
ability to satisfy them; he is ever be-
hind-hand, and ten to one if the poor
man does not have to sell out at last,
to meet the demands of his creditors
and the wants of growing family.
Wherever this is the case there is
something radically wrong in the mans
management. Evidently there are
leaks, and he does not stop them. It
is the little leaks that sink the great
ships, and it is the small wastes that
ruin the farmer. A leaky cask will
not stay full; and constant waste will
deplete the resources of any farm.
This is the reason so many men do not
get on in the world.
And one of these leaks is, having
poor shelter for crops, implements and
stock. 1t is losing business to shell
ter a crop out Of doors, as many do:
and it is equally poor business to put
crops away in a leaky house, or in q
place where the fowls or the cattle art
ever encroaching upon it. The farmer
could make no better investment of q
few dollars, than to provide water
proof shelter for all his forage and
crops, and warm, dry sheds for all hi,
