A Tree Twenty Centuries Old.

The oldest tree in the world, says
Knowledge, so far as anyone knows, is
the Bo tree of the sacred city of Amara-
poora, in Burmah. 1t was planted 28S
B. c., and is therefore now 2,171 years
old. Sir James Emerson Tennet gives
reasons for believing the tree is really
Of this wonderful age, and refers to his
toric documents in which it is mentioned
at different dates, as 1872 A. D., 223 A.
D., and so on to the present day. "To
it" says Sir James, "Kings have even
dedicated their dominions, in testimony
of belief that it is a branch of the
identical fig-tree under which Buddha
reclined at Urumlya when he under
went his apotheosis. Its leaves are
carried away as streamers by pilgrims,
but it is too sacred to touch with a
knife, and therefore they are only gath
cred when they fall. The king oak at
Windsor forest, England, is 1000 years

A Rabbit with Snow Shoes On.

The snowshoe rabbit is a small ami
NAL that has exceedingly-large hind
feet, the toes of which are covered with
long, fine hair. This peculiar forma-
ton enables the creature to travel, in
search of food over the ightest snow
without sinking. The snowshoe rabbits
are little smaller than the cotton-tai1
rabbits of the Eastern States. They
are excellent eating, after you have lived
on rusty bacon for a few weeks. I know

The Young Man Who Showed Off.

Ayoung man about 20 years. of age,
accompanied by girl two or three
years younger, reached the city by a
Bay City train, and after looking
around for few hours returned to the
depot and bought some sandwiches for
lunch. The fellow was heard Dragging
good deal as to what he had done and
could do and cities he had visisted, and
by-and-by he walked up to the depot
policeman and handed him four 5-cent
cigars and said:
That's my girl in there"
"Yes."
"She just thinks her eyes of me-"
ESo?"
"Ive never had a chance to show her
how I'd die for her if necessary, and it
seems to me we might put up little
job right here"
"How?"
well, suppose me and her walk out

"Well you help me. You pick out
some chap around here and tell him
what I'm up to, and I won't mind stand

Five minutes later the girl stood on
the wharf alone. A fellow big enough

observed:

Just then the young man came rush

feet of the pair he cried out:

you into the river!'
"Oh, I guess not" carelessly replied
the other.
"Base scoundrel! I am here to res
cue this young girl from your clutches !''

The young man made dash. He had

with his arm appraised and heroism in
his eye, and the next minute he was
picked up and tossed over among a lot
of green hides as carefully as if he had
been glass. Then the big man raised
his cap to the girl, smiled sweetly as
he bowed and scraped his foot, and he
was out of sight before the young man

that he induced Fair to join forces

The man who sees no good In mankind
should be watched He judges all humanity
by himself Narrow minded, sordid, and
mean, he assumes that all men are like him
self Therefore, when we meet man who
has naught but carping criticism for every
man, and only u significant leer when the
name of lady is mentioned, we instictiyely
clutch our purses the tighter and closely
watch him.
There comes TO our sanctum every day an
exchange which wears a professional sneer'
1t is professedly republican paper, but con-
fossedly a tumblebug. 1t wallows about in
the miro of its own inner consciousness, and
evolves gross caricaturcs Of leading men.
These phantoms of brain diseased by pota-
tions Of suspicion and trickery it publishes
10 the world as correct portraits. Every word
or decd of men Is dissccted, distorted, and
misinterpreted. At present, the paper re-
ferred to is lamely endeavoring TO ridcule
"pretensions Of harmony in the republican
party" The allegation is made that the prac-
tices of tho factions are at variance with their
pretensions. After setting forth this state
ment, its author regards it as truth and des-
cants gloatingly upon the supposed conse-
quences. He delights in the prospect of re-
publican defeat and rout in 1884.
1t will be discerned, however, that the
phantom which he conjures up is but phan-
tom. The leaders and members of the repub-
lican party have carried their personal and
selfish feelings clear to the verge of unrea-
son. They will do so no more Everywhere
there is an honest disposition and firm de-
termination to bury past differences. The
party was never in better condition to sue
coed, to do well for the country, and to deserve
well of it. These are facts patent to all but
the captious and obstinate. Sneers and jeers
from unfortunate pigmics, with warped in
stincts cannot alter the present condition of
affairs. The party which represents the bulk
of the patriotism, freedom, honesty, and pro-
gress of this republic has oven brighter pros
poets to-day than when the democratic p}rty
lay prone at its feet at Appomattox.
