THERE is reason to hope that Washington's
body servants and faithful nurses are all dead;
but new and even long-lived horrors threaten to
succeed these, Somebody in Pennsylvania
knows and writes of maple tree which has been
tapped for ninety four successive years, and the
sugar made from which the first year was eaten
by George Washington. Fortunately the cherry
tree is dead, but there are undoubtedly other
trees under which the Father of his Country re-
posed, or from which he plucked fruit and if
the individual history of these is to be given,
there is cloud over the future. Trees are
known to have lived a thousand years, and one
associated in it's youth with Washington will
flourish twice that long if the longevity of the
body may be taken as an indication.

is said in behalf of the Doctor that che is one of
the most accomplished of living Hebraists, and
it would be impossible to deceive him as to the
true character and value of the alleged discov-
cry" The claim that large portions
of ''the true cross" are in the hands of
certain churches does not seem at all
apochryphal when compared with this. 1t looks
reasonable enough for ordinary wood to endure
a matter of some L. $50 years, if vellum and the
writing on it can withstand the vicisitudes of
forty centuries. Nor does it appear so absurd
that so many churches in southern Europe have
hatful of thOrns each that originally formed
parts of the odious crown worn by the man cru
Gifted on Calvary. The project to dredge the
sea at Salamis to recover the vessels of the fleet
of Themistocles, lost 480 years B. c., should re-
ceive every monetary encouragement.
THE residents of the District of Columbia
have no right to vote, but the Republicans
there have held convention to elect delegates
to the Chicago convention. According to law,
any of the officials or temporary residents who
become citizens there lose their residence in
other States, and consequently all right to vote.
AS result the lawful inhabitants are largely
negroes three-quarters of the members
of the late convention there being col
ored. 1t is related of Ingersoll that in
1880 he desired to be a delegate to Chica-
go, where he expected to press the claim for
suffrage in behalf of the citizens of the Dis
trict He was defeated, however, in very
singular way. A colored delegate arose and
proudly inquired: ''Does Colonel Ingersoll love
Jesusp That settled it, and Robert was shut
out A rule to that effect would work disas
triously in conventions of all parties.
