the rattlesnake and copperhead
acts similarly in most respects,
there seems no reason to doubt
that the effect would be az
eficaious in the one case as in
the other. The popularity IN
the treatment lies In the internal
use ofiodine. Physicians in the
West can easily try the remedy
when harvest time comes and
the usual number of rattlesnake

The Tallest Trees.

Though there is every probability
that CALIFORNIA; big tree will maintain
its supremacy as the most massive col
umn in the worlds forests, it must
yield the palm of altitude to Australia's
eucalyptus. In the valley of the Watts
River, in Victoria, many fallen
trees have been measured as they
lie on the ground and found
to exceed $50 feet in length. One
mighty giant had fallen so as to form
bridge across deep ravine. 1t had
been broken in falling. but the portion
that remained intact measured 435
feet in length, and as its girth at the
point of fracture is nine feet, its dis
coverer estimates that the perfect tree
must have measured fully five hundred
feet. Its circumference five feet above
the roots is .fifty-four feet. Another
gum-tree on Mount Wellington was
found to be 102 feet in girth at three
feet from the ground. Its height could
not be estimated, owing to the density
| of the forest, but its next neighbor,
which was ninety feet in circumference,
height. In the Daudenong District of
Victoria an almond-leaf gum-tree
| Eucalyptus amygdalina) has been
carefully measured, and is found to be
430 feet in height 1t rises $50 feet be-
fore throwing out branch; its circum-
ference is sixty feet. Tasmania also
produces specimens of eucalyptus
which are $50 feet in height, and which
rise 200 feet ere forming a branch.
One near Hobart Town is eighty-six
feet in girth, and, till ten years ago,
lowered to height of three hundred
feet, but is now ruin. The question
of supremacy is, however, confined to
altitude, for the untidy-looking eucalyp-
tus, with its ragged and tattered gray
bark hanging about it in such slovenly
fashion, can never contest the palm Of
might or majesty with these stately
cedars whose magnificent golden-red
shafts tower on high like the fiuted mar
BILE columns of some vast cathedral.

He Got the Best Rooms.

I hear q good story Of two we'll
known Americans. They had been ac-
customed to visit Europe in May, and
had competed with each other for the
best berths on the Germanic or Bri-
tannic. A having been done by B two
years in succession. thought he would
be all right in 1884. Accordingly, in
March last he wrote engaging the Capt
aims room and three of the best state
rooms for the first voyage of the Ger
manic in May next year. Flushed with
the certainty of triumph, he incautious-
ly mentioned the circumstance to q
friend. Pleased with this stroke of real
smartness, the friend spread the story,
which came to the ears of B, who inn
mediately cabled to Liverpool to secure

CASTOR it was learned that no blood
had been found on the floor below the
one where M. Bertrand's body was
found, and where Richet had testified
that the prisoner had struck his head
on the counter.
The officer who first discovered the
prisoner testified that on the spot where
Gourard's head rested there was CREST
pool of blood. Nj. CASTOR then called
the surgeon, who testified that the
wound on the head of Gourard could
not have been made as Richet had
sworn-that it was inflicted by club
or some heavy instrument.
With this evidence the young lawyer
rested his case and it went to the jury.
The jury retired and after an hours
absence returned into the courtroom
with a verdict of not guilty. The
great, the rich reward of M. CASTOR
was the almost frantic Joy of the mother
and son.
1.-The God of the widow and orphan
has sent you to us, sir, in our distress,
and His blessing will descend upon you
through all your days"
s'Some day shall reward you" said
young Gourard. The glittering drops
which stood in his eyes evidenced his
gratitude. And thus the mother and
son took their leave of their generous
benefactor.
Years rolled on; the coup d'etat of
December 2, 1851, had made and un-
made many. M. Pierre CASTOR had de-
voted all his energy and eloquence
against the usurper. But, like many
others, he had been crushed. His great
practice in the law, that he had been
years building up, had been swept
away, as had been his fortune and his
friends. As he sat down one day in his
own dingy office, bordering over his
misfortunes and crowding his brain for
some means to obtain sufficient sum
with which to start again in ife-for he
was still young mana gentlemanly
| appearing man entered.
"Do you not remember me, M. Gas
tonp'
81 do not, was the reply.
s.My name is Gourard-Henri Gou-
rard-whom you once defended on a
serious charge in this city,"
Another glance at the visitor con-
vinced CASTOR that it was the prisoner
he had defended four years ago.
Gourard then in a few words in
formed his benefactor that he was a
well-to-do wine merchant; fortune had
smiled upon him and given him pros
perity. After conversing half an hour
he rose to take his leave.
"Here is small package that my
mother, my wife and myself have made
up for you. / trust that it will con-
vince you that my words to you have
not been forgotten. May God bless
you; good by"
He was gone.
i With trembling hands M. CASTOR
opened the package. 1t was with diff
Guilty that he could suppress his emo
ton. There spread out on the table
were 5000 francs.
ssThis is indeed rich reward. In
turn say God bless the widow and or
phan."
With this small fortune M Castor
soon built up his practice and regained
his friends, among whom he cherishe.
none dearer than Nine. and Henri
Gourard.

A Significant Victory.

The Democracy of Ohio won . signifi-
cant victory ON Tuesday. They ear
ried the State for the sixth time since
the organization of the Republican
party, more than twenty-five years ago.
They gained the Governor and the ma
iority of the Legislature in the ante
Presidential year, when the near ap-
proach to the National contest and the
hot excitement growing out OF State
questions and local contention tended
to bringing out the electors in force.
They overcame an enemy which was
under the generalship of the best Re
publican politicians in Ohio, who was
thoroughly equipped for the contest,
and whose political fortunes were at
stake. They survived the factional dif-
ferences and the bitterness growing out
of warm fight for the nomination for
Governor. They successfully resisted
the effort t, place on them the oppro-
brium of opposition to what the Repub-
licans claimed to be the great moral re-
form of the period. They CALAMITY OPP
posed the long fertilization of the Re.
publican party in Office in the State and
the United States. They achieved q
victory which every thoughtful man
must look upon as one of the guiding
elements in the greater contest of 1884.
Ohio is still the October State,
and she will fire the first gun in
the Presidential year The Democrats
now have command of the artillery.

Neal Dow and the Republican Party.

The latest individual of Importance
to take up this somewhat threadbare
but expressive battle-cry is General
Neal Dow of Maine. In q letter to DIR.
Miner, of this city, General Dow makes
the plain declaration that i've have
fully made up our minds now to break
with the Republican party in Maine as
you have done in Massachusetts,. This
is well said, short and to the point. But
who says it? A man whose private life
is doubtless above reproach; q man
who, despite the stories to the contrary,
would no more steal your silver plate
than he would entice you into q tip
ping shop-so much for Dow the pri-
vate citizen. Dow the political agita-
tor is quite another person. Politically,
he is as shifting as the sands of the
sea, as crooked as the famous Songo,
which is one of the natural attractions
of the country in which he lives; in
short, a humbug of the first water. II
he and his followers have really fully
determined to make vigorous and I'M
compromising war on the Republican
party of Maine we are glad Of it. But
we take no stock in Dow's
political manifestos until we see
his promises fulfilled. Time and again
he has talked as bravely and as yirtu-
ously as he does now, only to finally
sink back into the bosom of the Repub.
lican party, whose promises and PAP
have seemed to satisfy him. Last year
was the time of all times for him t.
have taken . square and manly stand
in opposition to the Republican bosses.
