AN UNCANNY STORY.
Death o. a Man and a Tree, and some
Queer Condolences.


In front OF the house, 1913 Steiner street,
stands weeping willow tree to all out
ward appearances dead and in the first
stages of decay. Every leaf has fallen from
its boughs and twigs, and it forms u
striking contrast to sister willow diagOn-
allv across the street, which Is fully clothed
in green and presents y most vigorous and
heaithiul appearance. According 10 these
who live in the vicinity, the decay and
death of this tree were marked by coinci-
dent features in the life and death OF the
man who planted it. which, TO say the least,
were very mysterious. Two gentlemen
have communicated the facts in the case TO
the Cal, each being unknown to the other.
and, therefore, each being unacJuainted
with the fact that the other haa SO COM
municated Their story is that some four
teen years ago i. J. Collins, . painter by
trade, changed his residence from Bartlett
street in this city to 1913 Steiner, taking
with him Il small weeping willow
tree He set the shrub OF. upon the outer
edge of the sidewalk, directly in front
of his house. He guarded and cared
for it, and it grew and hourished and
spread its branches wider and wider and
lifted its head higher and higher from the
ground until it became a splendid tree and
an ornament to the block. Collins took
considerable prlde lls II, anu oHtn re
marked that the tree would die when he
did, but this was always accepted rs a
pleasantly, and no one paid any more at
tention to ii than would be given to any
other odd conceit which person might
have concerning something i'll which he
took considerable pride. About two months
ago Mr. Collins was taken sick, and TWO
weeks ago died. Attention was called to
the tree during the latter part OF NJ I o.
Inns illness and il was found to be rapidly
shedding its leaves. A little inquiry and
comparison of notes showed that the leaves
had began to wither and fall about the
time its owner took to his bed, and within
few days after his funeral it presented me
appearance of being dead, and certainty
visited the place yesterday. One Of the
gentlemen referred 10 above said that :. the
1 Iife of the tree went ont with the life OF
Collins. +. Call. October 9th.

WHY is it so many people are never satisfied?
friends are generous and aiectionate; they are
educated and refined, capable not only of en-
joying, but of impariing happiness to others;
yet they are dissatisfied, miserable, and, really
without intending to do SO, make others miser-
able. Their blood is impure; they have taken a
heavy cold, or they are bilious. A few doses of
Emil Frese's Hamburg Tea would remove all
distractions, and enable them to enjoy, with
renewed Zest, the pleasures they are now com
PEELED to forego. ap9-l2or3p1y MWF&w1y

An Historical Egg.

Of an iron egg in the Berlin Museum
the following story is told: Many
years ago prince became affianced to
lovely princess, to whom he promised
to send a magnificent gift as testimo-
NAL of his affection. In due time the
messenger arrived, bringing the prom
Used gift, which proved to be an iron
egg. The princess was so angry to
think that the prince should send her
so valueless present that she threw it
upon the floor, when the iron egg
opened, disclosing "a silver lining.
Surprised at such discovery, she
took the egg in her hand, and while
examining it closely discovered a
secret spring, which she touched, and
the silver lining opened, disclosing a
golden yolk. Examingit closely, she
found another spring, which, when
opened, disclosed within the golden
yolk ruby crown. Subjecting that
to an examination, she touched a
spring, and forth came the diamond
ring with which he affianced her to
himself.

Our Presidents.

Mr.. Cleveland will be the twenty
second president of the country. Of
the presidents, seventeen were cleo
ted and four-Tyler, Fillmore, John
son, and Arthur-succeeded to the
office from the vice presidency. Thorn
as Jefferson and John Quincy Adams
were elected by the house of repre-
sentatives in default of an election by
the electoral college, and Rutherford
B. Hayes was declared elected by the
commission selected to decide the dis
puted election of 1876. Seven of the
Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln,
and Grant-were elected a second time.
Gen. Grant was the youngest of the
presidents when inaugurated, being
AZ; Pierce and Garfield were 40; Polk
and Fillmore, so; Tyler, 81; Lincoln,
so; Van Buren, and Taylor, 80; Wash
ington and Johnson, 81; Jefferson,
Madison, and John Quincy Adams, So:
Monroe, SO; John Adams and Jackson,
81; Buchanan, &c; Harrison, 6S. Gar
field died the youngest, not having
reached his tiftieth birthday; Polk was
81 at his death; Lincoln, Sc; Pierce, 65;
Taylor, 66; Washington and Johnson,
81; Harrison, 6S; Tyler and Monroe, rs;
Fillmore, 70; Buchanan. II; Jackson,
IS; Van Buren,, 80; John Quincy Adj
ans, 81; Jefferson, SO; Madison, IS; ohm
Adams, 81.
The honor of furnishing presidents has
not been evenly distributed among
the states; Virginia, Massachusetts,
Tennessee, New York, Ohio Louisiana,
New Hamshire, Pennsylvania, and
Illinois furnishing all the incumbents
so far. Cleveland will be the third
president from New York-Van Buren,
and Arthur being his predecessors.
It is somewhat remarkable that no
member of the United States senate
should ever have been elected to
the presidency at the time of his in
cumbency. Disregarding the fact that
experience in this body ought to fit a
man for the high office, the people
have ignored the senators. The army
has furnished large number of presi-
dents, and, with the exception of Han
cock, Mcclellan, and Scott, no mill
tary man nominated for the office has
failed of election. Washington owed
his elevation to his success in the field.
Jackson's record in the war of 1872 was
the wave which lifted him into the
white house; and Harrison, Taylor,
Pierce, Grant, Hayes, and Garfield
wore the epaulets of a general before
they were honored with the chef mag
istracy of the nation.
There are now two eX-presidents
living-Grant and Hayes-and after the
4th of March Mr.. Arthur will make
third.

Our Petroleum Product.

In 1865 our petroleum oil product
was only some 1,500 barrels. Its use
has steadily increased until now some
"a, 100000 barrels is yearly consumed.
We ship to all parts of the world; but
the domestic consumption is far
greater than the foreign. This oil has
had varied uses. AS an iliuminant, it
is the cheapest and in some respects
the best light ever made use of by the
human race. 1t is also a lubricant of
great value. After refining, the resi-
dunn is converted into a wax, also
into vaseline, and besides is used for
dyeing purposes and as disinfectant.
Petroleum fields have been discovered
near the Caspian Sea, and all Eastern
Europe and portions of Asia are being,
supplied now from this quarter. Pc.
trolum is found in several parts of the
United States, but is most abundant in
the oil region proper of western Penn
sylvania. The oil territory extends
from the eastern end of Lake Erie
down through Venango and Butler
counties in Pennsylvania, and as far
south as West Virginia. In this last
state the oil is thick and does not flow
readily. In the neighborhood of Pitts
burg there are great gas wells but not
much oil. The latter is often produced
in such quantities as to cause loss to
the holders. Some of the more recent
wells have had the greatest produc-
ton. The Phillips well in Butler
county at one time poured out nearly
5000 bbls. day; but these great gush-
ers, as they are called, do not last
long. Their life is short. 1t a won
derful product, is petroleum, and
could it be utilized for fuel it would
solve most important economical
problem.-DemoreSt's Monthly for De-
