At Home in "A Tree.
N. \. Sun.l

a matronly cat with sleek, brown fur.
and kitten with a coal-black head and
saow-white coat lay side by side against
crumbling heGdstone in st. Paul's grave
yard Saturday afternoon. A young man
who sauntered through the paths reading
the time-stained stones, stopped to pct the
kitten. 1t and the big cat sprang up sim
ultaneously, and, scamperiRs like flash
to tall tree that shaded the railings at
the Vesey street side of the graveyard, dis
appeared.
Gosh" exclaimed the saunteror, turn
ing to the gardener. "Where did those cats
go to, any way:"
up the tree" drawled the old man. con-
tinuing to weed grave mounds. "They
lives in it."
Large holes yawn at the roots of the tree
and penetrate upward several feet iuto the
interior of the trunk. Leaves are thickly
padded inside and pressed down like a
nest. In the trunk of the tree lay the big
cat and near it crouched the frisky kitten,
its bright eyes glistening among the
leaves.
''The old cats been here for an age,~
said n car-starter afterward. "People in
the neighborhood make pets of both tAe
animals, and feed them regularly. The cats
are perfectly at homo in the graveyard,
and they chase the rats and mice that come
out of the warehouses round here at night
and 20 scampering over the graves. No
body could hurt the-cats, even if anybody
were SO disposed, for the animals are too
quick for 'em. They just fly around when
they want to be let alone, and even an
acrobat couldn't catch them"

A Tremendous Trout.
TDenver News.1

Fish stories usually meet with n hearty
disbelief scarcely equaled by that extend
ed to campaign lies, and il requires no
small courage to tell the truth at times in
mentioning so dangerous a subject Espec-
tally is this the case when the size OF the
fish in question was up to the unheard-of
proportions Of that brought down from the
mountains by a fishing party yesterday,
and which Is at pres sent on exhibition in
the Arcade Restaurant, so Larimer street.
This monster OF the deep, or rather shallow
mountain streasas, weighs twenty-six
pounds, and il forty-seven inches in length.
IL is salmon trout, and was caught in
Eagle River by Tom Crippen. with an or
binary trolling hook, in the presence of
John Tins and Ry Hamill, who were wit
nosses OF the sport. This fish is without
question the largest mountain trout ever
brought into Denver, and is very much OF
= curiosity in its way.

TOPEKA, March 18th, 1885.
10 the People Of Kansas:
The custom Of appointing an Arbor

soon be hOnOred i'm all Of the states and
territories, the east and west following

Missouri valley. The people Of Kansas
went To planting trees as soon as they
began To plOw, and increasing millions
OF shade. fruit and forest trees are
planted every year. The love Of the
kansan for trees has shown itself on
every farm and village lot: in city parks
AMI the ground Of the church and the
school, and the Gods Acre where our
beloved ones sleep. This feeling is
equally strong in the minds of old and
young-in women not less than men; il
leads 20 practical results i'm increasing
the value OF land. and in ameliorating
asperitiesOf Our climate-that there has
been an increase in the rainfall in Kan
sas Is fully proved by the statistics of
our oldest meteOrologlsts;-and il leads
to uses of beauty in adorning our homes,
and making them scenes of loyeliness,
the remembrance of which will follow
our children TO the last days of their old
age. The state which the pioneers
found treeless and n desert, now bears
upon its fertile bosom more than twen-
ty millions OF fruit trees, and more than
two thousand acres of forest trees, all
planted 10y our own people.
In view of these facts, and i'm obedi-
ence to the popular Will, L, John a.
Martin, governor of Kansas, hereby set
apart Thursday, April I'd, 1885, as Ar
Dor Day, and respectfully ask that it be
made a holiday. School officers ana

The ancient Turkish title equivalent "a

berg" compound word signifying "chief
of chiefs" which was formerly the title of
Governors General Of Turkish provinces.
They stood next in rank to the vizier, and
their external distinctions are three en-
signs, consisting of slaves trimmed with
the tail of a horse. Originally, the title
pasha was bestowed on princes of the
blood. There are three grades, each dis
tingpished by a number of horse-tails
waving from lance, the distinctive badge
OF a pasha- Three horses tails are allotted
to the highest dignitaries, who have also
the title Of vizier; the pashas of two tails
are generally governors Of the more inn
Portant provinces; and the lowest rank of
one tail is filed by minor provincial Gov
ernors. The word Is also spelled pacha, and
Is said 70 be derived from the Persian
words IA. frst or support, and shala. ruler.

gers thronged Reirhardt's temporary
quarters, Nos. $50 and So Elm

is further estimated that on Saturday

slightly damaged clothing, hats, and
furnishing goods, the computed value
OF which must have aggregated Mt least
$1,000. II the concern goes on that

probably 100000 worth Of stock at about
one-halt the prico these goods are usu-
ally sold for. Reinhardt is broad, lib-
eral and full of energy, and his success
in meeting the ready sale of his enor-

DENTON, Feb. g. tCorrospondence,.l-
The grand jury just adjourned and
sent their report to the Hon.
f. L. Piner, district Judge
complimenting that official and the
county attorney, for the firm stand
taken by them in favor of law and
order without fear or favor. The report
says:
We, the grand jury, respectfully call
your attention to the unsafe condition
! of the county jail. After having made
a personal examination of said Jail we
are forced to the conclusion that it is
unsafe. There have been several deliv-
cries within the past year, apparently
without assistance from the outside,
| and yet it appears that objects as large
as pistol can be passed between the
bars in the windows to a prisoner
inside the cells We would sug.
| gest that the county court be
| instructed to have the building made
more secure by the addition os another
| set of blinds or bars inside the windows.
| We think the best interest of the cOun,
| ty will be materially advanced by the
| building of new Jail as soon as the
finances OF the county will permit.
! NJ. Fulton, esq, who so mysteriOusly
! disappeared from Denton last Deem.
Der, has written long letter to the Den
ton Monitor collaborating himself from
blame and giving many particulars ex.
| planatory of his conduct. II will appear
in the next issue OF the Monitor.

becoming as numerous as pig tracks.

firm have, for the last five years heen
engaged in the manufacture of baking

+. h. Hughes, who presides over their
laboratory has for the last forty years
been engaged in the study and practice
of medicine and chemistry. They also
have in their laboratory Prof. George A,
Calhoun, who has tor many years been
teacher OF chemistry, also Mr.. j. Price
Warrick, graduate of chemistry in
the university of Philadelphia.
These gentlemen in manufact-
uring the various articles al
ready mentioned, have found 1t neces-
sary to combat excessive lamentations,
whether vinous, acetCus or alcoholic,
which have ever stood in the way of
successfully manufacturing wine, vine
gar and alcohol in our southern climate.
Their experiments have resulted in the
discovery of an agent which completely
obvlates this difficulty. This agent Is
the extract OF the bark of tree indigo
nous to the state of Texas. Carving
their experiments still further, they
have ascertained that this same extract
as completely controls the only remain
ing fermentation known to the arts and
sciencies, viz: Blood fermentation,
which is the cause of fevers as well as of
rheumatism. This agent they have
combined with the extracts of ginger
anc lemon, thereby rendering it most
eiiicacious as well as delightful and
! palatable beverage. 1t is not only one
OF the best of tonics in it's effects, but the
use of 1t etlectually prevents typho-
