The News of An Hour,

Strange that women are not more ex-
tensiveiy employed as news gatherers
for the press! "Why," said Fogg, Mrs.
F. went out visiting t'other day, and
Notwithstanding that she had been gone
less than an hour, when she came home
she was fairly overlooking with new and
reconcile information. Our next door
neighbor on one side had gone into
bankruptcy and his creditors were rails
ing terrible bother about it; our neigh
Dor on tother side had been treating
his family in most shameful manner,
and everybody was talking about it; a
wedding was on the carpet across the
way, notwithstanding nobody could see
what he eyer could see in her to fall in
love with; two persons had been carried
out of the world Just below us, and three
in securing the most mental service be-
cause she was, in the atrocious language
of the Malthusian world, 'incumbered"
with her little boy. Without informing
her husband, who strongly disliked
children to be about him, Mrs. Hopkins
adopted the cooks child and treated
him, SO far as the circumstances
permitted her. as her own.
One day, as Mark Hopkins returned to
dinner. and when just opposite his pal
ace, he heard Timothy called by his own
family name. He summoned the boy
and said: "How did you come by that
name" The answer was: "The. boys l
play with gave it to me-" After mo-
ment's reflection, the millionaire re-
joined; "Be it SO. See that you never
disgrace it." From that time forth Tim:
othy became the son of the family. His
real .mother was pensioned, married
again, has second brood around her,
and lives contented on fine farm near
Sacramento. A few weeks ago the son
who chung to her knees in the kitchen OF
the Hopkins palace, married with great
splendor, the adopted daughter of his
benetactress, a high born damsel, who
with him, will one day inherit one ofthe
colossal fortunes of America. The way
Mark Hopkins contrived to get his mil
lions matches the romance Of Monte
Cristo. The way the cooks son lbecame
the heir presumptive of regal opulence
is one of the examples of how fact some
times eclipses fiction.

Good Advice to southerners.

A young workman Of Columbus,i Ga,
recently sent Senator Brown pair of
shoes of his own making, and received
the following note of thanks: please
accept my sincere thanks for the pres
ent which you sent me Of a pair of
CATERS, l suppose they are called, made
with your own hands. You state that
you are seventeen years of age and that
they are made by yourself. trust that
this speaks we'll for your future. If
many thousands of the youths of the
Southern country would engage in use
full pursuits of that and like character,
instead of passing a great deal of their
time in idleness as some do, the country
would be in better condition. Always
recolEect that all labor that is useful is
honorable. In whatever position a
yeung man is placed, if he has health,
i.e has it in his power, by his labor, to
make himself useful and respected; and
] delight to see the young men of Geor-
ga laying aside all false pride on this
subject and going to work manfully to
make good living and make themselves
useful citizens. J. trust You may become
distinguished in your trade, Or pro-
tession, and may not only make your
self useful to others, out that YOU may
be eminently successful in building up
your own fortune"

General Grants Narrow Escape
From the Washington Correspondence of
Boston Traveller,

From the Washington Correspondence of
Boston Traveller.
General Grant, in recent converse
ton, said: "The darkest day of my life
was the day l heard of Lincoln's assas-
sination. / did not know what it meant.
Here was the rebellion put down in the
field and starting up again in the gut
tiers; we had fought it as war, now we
had to fight it as assassination. Lincoln
was killed on the evening of tine 14th of
April. was busy getting orders t., stop
recruiting, the purchase Of supplies, and
to muster out the army. Lincoln had
promised to go to the theatsr, and wanted
me to 90 with him. While I was
with the president a note
came from Mrs. Grant
saying that she must leave Washington
that night. She wanted to 60 to Bur
lington to see her children. Some incl
dent of trlfing nature had made her
resolve to leave that evening. was
glad to have it SO, as did not want to
go to the theater. So made my excuses
to Lincoln, and at the proper hour we
started for the train. AS we were driv-
ing along Pennsylvania avenue horse
man drove past us on gallop, and back
again around our carriage, looking into
it. Mrs. Grant said: There is the man
who sat near us at lunch today, with
some other men and tried to overhear
our conversation. He was so rude that
we left the dining-room. Here he is
now riding after u.s. thought it was
only curiosity, but learned afterward
that the horseman was Booth. It seems
that [ was to have been attacked, and
Mrs. Grants sudden resolve to leave
changed the plan. A few days after,
received an anonymous letter from
man, saying that he had been detailed
to kill me. that he rode on my train as
far as Havre de Grace, and, as the car
was locked, he failed to get in. He
thanked God that he had failed. re-
member that the conductor had locked

Up to the present time the ground

Morris tribune., 1883-03-17
Ordering Trees.

It is best to send in the orders for
trees before the spring opens, as they
will receive more prompt attention than
those of late spring, when work is press
ing. Should the trees freeze on the
way, the package may be put in a cool
room or under stra w-to tn aw gradually
A mistake is often made in selecting
large trees. A two-year- old tree will
come in to bearing about as soon after
setting as one three or four years old
besides being much more sure to live.
The larger the tree the more the roots
are injured in transplanting; it is also
easier to bring young tree into good
form by early pruning, Other things
being equal, buy of the nearest nursery
man. We advise caution in dealing with
unknown tree peddlers, who tell wonder
fully things of varieties exclusively their
own. Some excellent nurseries send
out agents, and when they are author
lied and responsible, it is safe to buy
of them. Most of the leading nursery
men publish catalogues of varieties; it is
we'll to send for some of these and com.
pare the prices, etc. Study well the
needs OF the family market, soil, climate,
ETC.. and order early.-American
Agriculturist.

miscellaneous Matter.

General Meigs, the architect of the
Pension Office at Washington, has bought
a large number of Bessemer rails to use
in building instead OF CONSTITUTIONAL iron,
owing to the less cost and greater
strength at present quotations.
The value of the wood used as fuel for
domestic purposes during 1880 was $780,
$3.50. 040; the quantity so consumed, 140,-
537 ,439 cords; and the number of per-
sons who used it, 32,575,O74. The
amount burned by steamboats,, railroads,
was 5,240 ,698 cords, valued at SIS ,0l2 1873.
In addition to this, "a ,OOs, 972 bushels of
charcoal were consumed, valued at
S., 266, 1886.
Jay Gould's yacht will be quite asthet-
ic in its appointments throughout. One
state room will be decorated in blue and
gold, another in ebony, and others in
variegated huess The finest of fabrics
and tapestries and the most magnificent
upholstering will be used in the interior
furnishing. Under each state room a
porcelain bath tub is so arranged that
additions may be performed in hot or
cold salt water without leaving the room,
the descent being made through trap.
This floating palace cost $l50,000.
The credit of "inventing' the news
paper belongs not to the English or the
Americans, but to the Chinese. 700
year before the first English newspaper
appeared, newspaper was published in
Pekin, and it is still in existance. It
appears in three editions daily. The
first edition is called Rising-Pa (Busi-
ness Sheet, the second is devoted to
official news, the third is called Titani-
Pau County Sheet. All three are edi-
ted by six members of the Hon-Lin
academy of sciences; appointed and sal
ried by the Chinese state, and the num-
Der of copies printed daily is between
1000 and $4,000.
A lawsuit in st. Louis incidentally fur
nishes proof that some American wine
is genuine. The defendant is sued for
$50, 900 damages, because, as the en-
ploye of vineyard company, he spoiled
20, 600 bottles of wine by failing to take
proper care of it from the time it was
mere grape juice until it became cham
payne.
At Chinese theater in San Francisco
the other night the curtain was rung
down after performance lasting only
eleven and a half hours, the regulation
time being twelve hours. This curtail-
ment of their enjoyment SO incensed the
audience that a riot ensued, and the
police had to be called in to eject the
disturbers.

Seventeen hundred mules EMPLOYED
by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company in connection with
mining operations toll under ground
daily. At many of the mines the mules
do not see the light of day for year at
a time, and very often mule spends
ten years of his life under ground. The
effect of daylight upon mules that have
cen SO long in darkness is binding.
In many instances this blindness is per-
manent, the shock Of sudden light being
to great for Ike ewes; but it is the gener-
al rule that the mule staggers round in
blindness for few days, always, how
ever, finding his way to the feeding bin,
and taking true aim with his heels At
the end of the week eyesight returns,
he brays with all the vigor of lung for
which his kind is celebrated, eleVating
his tail AZ an accompaniment.

Gigantic Americans IN Europe

UiSduCic Americans IN Europe.
The Rev. Phillip Brooks. D. D., rector
of Trinity church, Boston, is man ofgi-
gantic appearance, weighing more than
300 pounds. Last summer, he and two
other clergymen about his own size and
weight, travelling in Europe, stopped at
a bathing establishment where bathing
suits are provided for those who wish to
enjoy the luxury of the bath. DR..
Brooks first presented himself to the as
tonished bath proprietor, who said it
would be impossible to fit him with a
suit, and asked him where he came from.
DIR. Irooks replied: "Oh. am from
America. This is the kind of men we
Americans are" The next clergyman
then presented himself, with similar
questioning and answer. Then to the
great establishment of the bath man, the
