l send you one-half dozen apricots. They
came from seeding here i'll this town. My
object in sending them is to ascertain IL they
would be a desirable tree to bud from, and
would like to have YOU give me your opinion a.
regards the quality of the fruit. Please reply
| through the REcoRD-DNIoN.
| Reply: The apricot is certainly choice
| and valuable variety. | have had the
| specimens examined by number OF oul
| fruit-shippers and fruit-growers, also by
our Gamers. All pronounce it valuable
addition to the choicest varieties grown a
! the present time and recommend its prop
agation. The apricot presented is large, o
a rich golden color when ripe, and OF ex
cellent flavor. In form and appearance i
resembles the peach apricot, excepting tina
the crease between the lobes and the cavit!
at the stem are much larger in this speci
men than in the former. Senator L. W
Buck, of Solano, pronounces it an excel
lent apricot.

Logan and the Southern Soldier.

During the dark days OF reconstruction,
says the Natchez Miss Crusader, we think
it was 1868, the month Of June, three gen
tlemen sat on the porch OF private board
ing-house in Michigan avenue, Washing
ton CITY. AS they sat together i'll low and
earnest conversation, an old man in worn,
but once respectable garments, lame and
hobbling on a crutch, paused directly IN
front of the trio and glanced searchingly III
the faces of all three. There was an ex-
preston in the upturned countenance OF
the old man too readily defined-a look OF
WEAKNESS; an air, in fact of present pow
erty. that could not be misunderstood by
the group. -,
"Can / do anything for you, my man p
asked the senior of the trio, attentively re-
garding the stationary figure in his front

Spouse.

quired the first speaker.

| "On what side ?"

replied the old man, leaning YEARLY on his
| crutch.

THAT makes big difference" remarked
the crippled stranger. II was about to ask
you for favor, but you live on the wrong

still urged the gentleman with quiet grav-
ity.

"Well, you shall not go home on your

man, who produced his pocket-book and
counted out six five dollar bills in the palm
of the stranger.

The ella Lizard.

What is commonly known as the ella
lizard, found chiefly in Sonora and Arr
IONA, says the Chicago Times, has for some
years been regarded as a curiosity by natu-
ralists, owing to the fact that 1t is the only
one of the lizard family reputed to have
poisonous bite 1t grows to the length OF
three feet and among the Mexicans is COM
monty regarded as more poisonous than
any serpent On the other hand, it is of
sluggish nature, and so many instances
have occurred in which children have made
pets of small specimens without coming to
anV harm that much incredulity has been
expressed as to its dangerous nature. A
paper recently presented before the Phila-
delphia College of Physicians stated that III
response TO inquiries two letters have been
received from Arizona one of which de-
scribed the lizard as more peaceful and
| harmless than young missionary" while
the other declared it to be worse
than a whole apothecary shop. Re
| cent experiments made with captive
specimens of the ella monster, how
ever, seem to demonstrate satisfac-
torily its poisonous nature. Small animals
and birds were killed by its bite. 1t has
numerous teeth, and when it bites guam
tity of saliva is discharged. This saliva or
| fluid is found to be an active poison OF very
peculiar nature. 1t causes no local INJURY,
| but seems to act directly upon the heart,
arresting its action in diastole. Its effect
is entirely different from that of venom
of scrpents, which causes local hemor-
rhage. As it is true in the cases of ser
penis. however, the degree of danger result
ing from bite would depend entirely
upon the amount of poison injected INTO
the blood. A bite from a large rattlesnake
is more dangerous than from small one,
and bite in which the two fangs pene-
trate the skin is twice as serious as where
only one fang is inserted, simply because
the amount of venom injected is greater.
The teeth of the lizard are small
easily broken, and frequently nearly
all missing. The experiments made
seem to indicate that while the
animals, it would but rarely happen that it
could kill man. Should large lizard
with all its teeth bite upon the bare skin
and cling fast long enough to permit alb
sorption of the saliva, it would probably
prove fatal Should any article of clothing
intervene to be bitten through, or should
the reptile be quickly shaken off, nothing
more serious than a very painful swelling
would probably result DR.. Shufeldt was
bitten by one which had been sent to the
Smithsonian Institution. 1t seized his
thumb, sinking the teeth to the bone, but
relaxed its hold Immediately. Great pain
was felt Immediately, though the poi
son was sucked from the wound as far
as possible The pain extended up
the arm to the shoulder and down
the side, continuing through the night in
sufficient force to peyent sleep, but subsid-
ing the next day. The wound healed read
lily in few days.

Career of the Greatest Dancer.

There are a few old play-goers who re-
member the great night when she first
came floating on the stage of the Kings
Theater, on the 30 of June 1880 Her en-
gagement was for three weeks only and the
house was packed to sutfocatiOn. She took
the part of Flora in the ballet of Zephyr e
Flora and she had not been five minutes
on the stage before her triumph was as
surcd. 1t was the old story; they had seen
no one ike her for grace and purity of mo-
ton, for that poetry Of movement which
was the perfection of art, because it seemed
so wholly artless. Signora Taglioni,"
wrote the Eronti,er is the most perfect
specimen Of grace and elegance as a dancer
we ever beheld. Her movements are all
series of classical studies. = Every
movement is accomplished with such
extraordinary ease and with the
airincss Of thistle-down that it
would scarcely have increased our
wonder had she assembled like a
spirit" A writer in the Ahe,la1tDo said
4 She is certainly angehcal-almost Eve-an-
gelical; grace is in her step whether
heaven be IN her eye or not The man
neT in which she occasionally springs from
this cold sphere leads us 10 think that by
an extent of volition she might with per
feet ease visit the lively inhabitants of Mer-

tread Of earth is beyond description. Her
bound upwards is graceful and natural; it
is her coming back again that is supernatu-
raj Chorley, in his Musical Recollec-
tons, thinks that in her first season in
London she was not so highly appreciated
as she deserved TO be; but the critics, at
any rate, seem to have appraised her at her
proper worth. During her first and her
subsequent visits TO London Taghoni
danced q great deal, and often in com
pany with three of the most famous
ballerinas Of that or any age-Carlotta
Grisi, cousin Of the renowned singer; Fan
ny Elssler, the siren whose charms had
equal power over q philosophic historian
and the heir 10 a usurper's throne and
Cerito, surnamed the Fourth Grace The
immortal q Pas de Quatre," composed for
these four diviuities, was perhaps the
finest exhibition of dancing ever seen on
any stage But Taglioni then, "a ever, was
the star; the others were but the satellites
revolving round her. 1t was, however, in
Paris that she made her home during the
halcyon period of her career. Her first
appearance there. says Miss Mabel Collins.

Marriage in Java.

As small party of us were sitting on the
, wide piazza Of our dwelling-house in Java.
early one evening, our attention was called
to sounds of Malay music evidently ap-
preaching us Looking down the street
we saw procession of native men Java

abreast. In the second row there were FIVE

brella. | inquired why this man was so
/ honored, and was told that he was to be
married. The next day | was taken TO see
the house where the bride lived, and where
they were making grand preparations for
the marriage. They were constructing a
large and covered platform of bamboo for
the accommodation of the guests and the
Malay band of music. On the succeeding
day we heard the same performers and saw
a longer procession than the first one. At
the head Of this procession came two wood
en- figures imam and woman) about eight
feet high. These were hollow, 50 that the
boys could enter and operate to give them
| motion. Next behind them were the mu-
sicians then an open carriage drawn by
two ponies covered with flowers and vari-
ously colored papers cut up in patterns In
side sat the bride and groom. The bride
was decked in flowers and jewels, and her
face, head and dress were completely COW
cred with ochre powder. A number of car
. riages followed the party with relatives and
, friends, who were also adorned with flow
ers, jewels, etc On the third day ] was in
vited to attend the wedding, so we walked
down 10 the brides house. There we found
! the bamboo platform occupied by band
of music and an exhibition of marienettes,
which personated characters in legends of
the japanese people The hadj or native
priest, was conducting this novel show,
which took hours to go through. /, how
ever was more anxious to see the bride,
and accordingly was ushered into the prin-
cipal room. 1t was large square apart
ment, the front being opened by four large
double doors In one of the remote cor
ners of the stone floor was seated on
handsome mat the bride elect, with down
cast eyes. and in the adjacent corner sat the
bridegroom. The bride was famed by two
little girls and the groom by two little
bows. In the center of the floor their
FEAST was spread. The festivities lasted
through the night, and refreshments abund-
antly served to the guests in and about the
house at any time and all times just as they
called for them. At intervals the dancing
girls were introduced and the tam-tilms for
their dance music. At break of day the
groom claimed his wife and escorted her to
his own house They then had process
sion similar to the first one, except that the
brides presents were seen carried in front
by coolies. At the grooms house festivi-
ties were continued according to the length
of his purse 1t often happens that these
people use all the money they have on such
occasions They are improvident, and Or

No fields of waving grain are mine;

But spare your compassion, pray

In natures company, and talk
With one who will not slight or slur

With cumulative interest.
