The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-05-08

Furstenfeld, in Germany, boasts Of
the Oldest tree in the country. 1t is a
huge linden, believed to be 1000 years
old, and growing at the back of the
village church, in the midst of the
tombs of two centuries. Its trunk is
fully fifteen feet in diameter, and its
twisted branches stretch out far and
wide, seemingly covering the entire in,
closure 1t is still growing.

Arthur's Two Hundred Wives.

We most always have some Indians
here, says a Washington letter writer.
They want to see the president once in
while, and the president and secre-
tary of the interior want to see them.
The Indians always have a good time.
They are brought here in good style,
carefully shown all the attractions Of
the town, and lionized by the people in
certain sort of society. They don't
usually get the thing they come for;
but they always get something, and
sometimes it seems better than the
thing asked for. Some New Mexico
Indians, recently at the capital, car
ried back with them ideas somewhat
more extravaganza than usual. They
began the story with the remark that
President Arthur was the wealthiest
man in the world; that in his great
treasury gold and silver were as plen-
titul as the sands on the plains of New
Mexico, and that in this great store
house the president has 200 wives, who
have nothing else to do but count out
paper money for him all day long.

Reports to the Lime-Kiln Club.

The librarian reported the receipt of
several valuable books during the past
week, one of them being a volume con-
tanning the history, trial, and execu-
ton OF thirty different murderers. He
announced that the roof leaked in sew
en- different places, and that much of
the literature had to be placed in the
oven and dried previous to being lent
out to members. He asked for an APP
preparation of 1925 to stop the leaks.
Oats zactly de way wild some
folks replied the president. 'Dey
buy $500 kerridge to be pulled by
800 boss When we expend $125 to
preserve $50 worth of books we shall
have inaugurated financial policy dat
Will soon obleege us to rent post-oflice
boxes to receive our dunnin' letters"
The treasurer said he had discovered
an attempt to tamper with the club
safe. Some one had evidently tried to
unlock the door with boot-iack, as
the key-hole had been found filled with
scrap-iron. He would announce for
the benefit of crooks that the safe never
contained above 80 cents in cash, and
that any attempt to blow it open
would surely result in bringing down
the entire roof of the hall.
The janitor reported that the north
west corner of the hall had lately sunk
eight inches, but he had no recon-
mends to make. If the rest of the
building didn't sink to the same level
members would soon get accustomed
to walking on slant end and no ex-
pensc would be entailed.
AS most of the lamps had gone out
for want of fodder, the meeting then
adjourned. -DetroH Free Press.

When Mr.. Fawcett, the late postmas-
ter general of England, returned two
years ago from the door OF death, says
the Pail Mall Gazette, he remarked that
Whatever else his illness had done for
HIM, it had at least freed him from the fear
of death. Like men of robust physique
Mr.. Fawcett at one time entertained q
dread that death would be proceeded by
fierce convulsion-a veritable death
agony. During his former illness, as he
lay for days in the last stage of prostra-
ton awaiting death, he ielt entirely free
from any physical fear. The heart
would simply cease TO beat as a watch
that has run out ceases TO tick, and all
would be over. Death would be no
wrench, but simply the cessation of life.
Such, at least, was the conviction which
NJ. Fawcett brought back with him
from the shadowy confines Of the grave

We are greatly pleased 10 zee that

and expect 70 have that pleasure should

there should be, and which We believe
there Will be, in regard TO the chief
clerkship In the house. Mr.. Butts
would be . capital person for the posi-

chosen His friends, however, must
bear In mind that while Alex. Is q most
indefatigable worker for faVors to be be-

unselhsh disposition may lead HIM to
hold himself In the background in this

friends there can overcome his love and

has been urged by his friends TO become
q candidate for chief clerk of the next
house in the Kansas legislature, and
while not refusing TO do so, Is afraid
"gall" is needed. There is, perhaps
no newspaper man IN the
state who has more warm friends, In the
fraternity and out of IL, and being well
qualified to I'LL the position, he has beer

1--WE have known Captain Payne for

been uDjustly denounced and all sorts OF
false charges have been made against
his personal character. While we have
not, and do not now, endorse all he has
done or said in his public addresses, we
have gwen HIM credit for a sincere de-
sire To lead his followers to land where
all believe they can better their condi-
ton. He believed he was right, and did
not deserve the epithets that have been
heaped upon him. We do not hesitate
TO express the hope that he will finally
triumph in the right wav, and that he
may prosper in the new country

before the sudden death of Captain
