The magnificent, international de-
served success of The Current is now
everywhere conceded; and in point of
circulation and popularity it bids fair to
out rival all other literary and review
publications. That this gratifying result
has been IN so short time realized is
largely due to the prompt and generous
support received by The Current in all
portions of Minnesota, in which state
this journal now has between $4,000 and
10000 readers. At the present rate of in
crease it will certainly have %, 900 to 3d.,
900 readers in Minnesota by January 1,
1885. For this confidence, support, and
hearty friendship The Current returns
kindliest greetings and most grateful
thanks, and to show that the same is ap-
preciated, points with gratifed pride to
the fact that among it's 900 contributors a
who have met with generous and appreci.
alive welcome in it's columns. No more
emphatic illustration of this fact can be
given than to indicate the remarkable
prcdominance of Minnesota writers
whose productions appear in The Current
of November 80. "In the Sixteenth Cen
tury" is the title of the short story by
Cassia Horgan, of Minneapolis, who won
the first prize in the $1,000 competition
recently offered by The Current. II has
wonderful dramatic power. The writer's
and their productions are as follows:
Emily Huntington Miller. "Orders" ;
William G. Warren, '"The New Panthe-
on; Edward L. Fales, Eat Dawn of Day"
Thos. L. Smith, 1.-The Reaper's Song;

THE CATALPA.
Written for tho Indianapolis journal.

Written for the indianapolis Journal.
The eatalpa has proved perplexing tree, some
f0urishing as shade trees others dying or grow
ing scraggy and unsightly. The reason is there
are two species or at least well-defned varie-
ties of this tree. The Georgia and North Caro-
lima species is tender in this climate, and dies
out or grows poorly, while the catalpa speciosa
is one of our finest and most reliable trees This
is because the latter is native to southern Ohio,
Indiana and Kentucky. The Georgia variety
grows to only one OF two feet, the native variety
to three or four feet through and sometimes
fifty feet without a limb. The native variety
has darker bark furrowed and rough, firmly
aaherent while the other variety has light
gray bark, easily detached in small, thin plates.
Catalpa speciosa blooms two weeks earlier, has
larger, whittier and more snowy flowers, larger
and longer pods, more compact top and is in
every way a more desirable shade tree
1 have no doubt as to the existence of two
weII-marked varieties of catalpa. The labors
and observations of the late Dr. John A. Warder,
Of North Bend o.; Of L. E. Barney, of Dayton,
O.; of John c. Teas, of Carthage, Mo-;
Of j. T. Stewart. M. D., of Peoria,
ILL.,, and of Prof. G. S. Sargent
of Harvard University, have established the
fact of these two kinds and while unfortunately
the distinctions are not apparent until the trees
are too large to transplant successfully they are
well marked in mature trees, rendering sthe
