The Candelabra Tree.

There is a remarkable tree or shrub in a small gulch near some springs about twelve miles north of Tuscarora, Nevada It is about six or seven feet in height, with trunk which at its base is three times the size of mans wrist. It has innumerable branches and twigs and resembles somewhat the Barbary tree. But its remarkable characteristic is it's foliage, which, at certain season of the year, is so luminous that it can be plainly distinguished in the darkest night for a distance of more than 8 mile, while in its vicinity it emits sufficient light to enable person to read the finest print. Its foliage is extremely rank and its leaves resemble somewhat in size, shape and color those of the aromatic bay tree of California. The luminous property is evidently parasitic and consists of a sort of gummy substance, which, upon being transferred by rubbing to a per sons hand, imparts to it the same app parently phosphorescent light, while that on the leaf entirely disappears. The Indians regard it with superstition and will not approach it even in daytime if they can possibly avoid it. They have name for it, which, literally in- terpreted, signifies "witch tree" An old Shoshone informed the writer that there were only two others in the entire country, but the closest questioning failed to elicit the slightest information in regard to their localities. He would only shake his head gravely and eiacu- late: Bad medicine"

"Jerry" M'Auley Dead.
NOTED MISSIONARY OF THE o1TY's sLUMs.

Jeremiah McAuley, the missionary, died at the Cremorne Mission, in New York. He has been i'll with consump- tion for the last six years, and severe hemorrhage from the lungs set in. Dr. Halleck, his family physician, WAS sent for, and did all that he could to afford relief, but without avail. Mir. Mckinley died peacefully in the presence of his wife, Maria, and few friends. His last words were: ''It's all right up there, |" pointing upward. His wife said to him just as he died: "Is Jesus with you, Jerry?" He nodded his head afirma- lively and breathed his last. He opened Cremorne Mission on January 10, 1882, and has done heroic work in retaining depraved women. His whole aim in life for the last few years has been to im- prove their condition. He started a newspaper called "Jerry McAuley's Paper" which has large circulation all over the world, and the proceeds of it's sale he intended to use in establish ing "Home for Fallen Women" He was persuasive speaker and few could resist his touching appeals to lead a better life.
 "JerTy" Mckinley came to this city from Ireland when he was thirteen years old. His father had been a counter feiter, and the son promised for many years to follow in his footsteps. He became river thief, prize fighter and everything but a murderer. He was finally arrested for highway robbery and sent to Sing Sing for fifteen years. In prison he became converted through the efforts of "Awful" Gardner, a reformed convict. "Jerry" was psrdoned after serving one-haf of his ter m, and on his return to N. Y. city he opened, in Novem- Der, 1872, at No. 316 Water st., a place which he called "The Helping Hand for Men" The neighborhood was one of the lowliest, squalidest, and toughest in New York. But for many years "Jerry" preached the Gospel every night in his humble institution. The good he did was incalculable. Gradually as the morals of the neighborhood i'm proved, "Jerry" looked around him for other places of sin and degradation where he could do good--Tribtfne.

Women Influencing Non. Union Miners.

The striking miners who were ar- rested for conspiracy several weeks ago and have been in jail at Washington, Pa, since, had hearing. Both sides were represented by council, and lerge amount of testimony was taken. Judge Hart decided to hold the prisoners for trial, but reduced their bail to $200.
 Eighteen furnished this amount, and the balance went back to jail. Three of the women who have been intercepting the non-unionists with tin pans were also arrested on the charge of conspira- cy. One was also charged with assault and battery. They furnished bail, and reinforced by 200 others repeated the offence for which they had been arrested with ten-fold vigor. One of the women, over sixty years old, and with her gray hair streaming down her back, made an impassioned address to the non unionists. Among other things she said: "My dear husband is now lan- gushing in prison at Washington, at the mitigation of the working miners, for doing no harm to any one. My heart aches for him, when I think of the suffering he has to endure. God knows how hard it is for me to control my temper when l see 8 non-unionist walk into my husbands room in the bank and load the coal which he has mined. My husband fought in the Union army to. hberate the slaves.
 Would to God he were also enamel pated." This little speech affected every one who heard 1t. Several of the non-unionists promised to join the strikers. The women will use mouth organs instead of tin pans in their sere- made. They have been advised that by this substitution they can escape arrest

The Model Woman.

Charles Dickens wrote as follows {: She only is true and noble wife for whose ambition a husbands love and her children's adoration are sufficient, who applies her military instincts to the discipline of her household, and whose legislatives exercise themselves in mak- ing laws for her nurse, whose intellect has field enough for her in communion with her husband, and whose heart asks no other honors than his love and admira- tion; woman who does not think it a weakness to attend to her toilet, and who does not disdain to be beautiful. who believes in the virtue of glossy hair and well-ftting gowns, and who eschews rents and ravelled edges, slipshod shoes and audacious make-ups; a woman who speaks low, and does not speak much; who is patient, and gentle, and intel lectual and industrious; who loves more than she reasons, and yet does not love blindly; who never scolds and never argues, but adjusts with smile; such 8 woman is the wife we have all dreamed of once in our lives. and is the mother we still worship in the backward dis tance of the past.

Alaska Bellies.

At Killisnoo, writes a correspondent of the St Louis Globe Denlocrdt, blackened faces were almost the rule, and every native woman had her face coated with a mixture of seal oil and soot It gives them a wild, strange look, and they giggle in the ailliest way when one points to them. The old theories that they wore it as sign of mourning, be- cause they were angry or reioiced, or penitent, are exploded now, and 1t is known that it is simply a protection against the gnats and mosquitoes on land, and to keep their faces from burn- ing when out in their canoes. It is an excellent cosmetic for the women, keep ing their complexion soft and smooth, and when they wash it off on grand oc- casions their faces are as creamy white as the fairest of their Japanese sisters. A group of these blackamoors made plot ure as they sat inside cabin door weav- ing their pretty baskets of the fine inside bark and roots of the cedar. One young CT woman wore silver pin stick ing out through her under lip, another had a bone labrette, or lip ring, put through like a collar-button, and the third, a wrinkled old crone, wore great plug of wood over an inch across. These lip ornaments are worn by nearly all the women of the island tribes, and are 8 mark of age as certain as a family record. The big wooden plugs that they put in in their sere ane yellow days push the lip out and give a hideous look to the wrinkled, blackened old crones who wear them. Nose-rings and earrings, silver rings on their fin- gers and bracelets on their wrists com plete their full-dress array, and if they only wore something more barbaric than shawls and calico dresses, they would be far more interesting as savage studies.
