Mackay aud Fair, Who Dag Millions Of
Dollars Out Of the Western Mines.


Who does not recall the grand Arm Of
Mackay, Fair. Flood d O'BrienP The Inst
two are not very we'll known in the East,
but Mackay and Fair have become promi-
nent part Of the financial life of the me-
tropolis, just as n hundred other Western
men have impressed Themselves upon the
business life Of the great mart. How many
millions these men are worth NO man can
tell Perhaps 1t is not interesting to know
TO tho cent how many dollars experience,
energy and good practical sense have piled
up for these two men. Both of them are
interested In the Bank Of Nevada. Mr..
Mackay is especially bound up with its for
tunes. Since Mr.. Fair went into the Senate,
to crafty his ambitions, be has not cut
nearly ms much Of figure in the business
world MS heretofore, yet he Is powerful
factor in the financial caldron and his COM
ing and going to New York makes moro or
less Of sensation. Fair IL large, burly
man, with wealth Of black whiskers, oc-
casionally streaked with gray. His face Is
not rs winning as that Of many men, yet he
has sort Of substantial air about him that
betokens man Of force and thorough self
reliance. Mnckay Ia taller and more slen-
der than Mr.. Fair, has clean-shaven face
except moustache, with rather pleasant
cast Of countenance aud brogue on him
that Is an unmistakable pointer to his
Milesian lineage. While he attends strictly
TO his financial affairs, he has an interest-
ing social turn, entertaining handsomely,
is pleasant companion at dinner and seems
to have rather roster view Of life than Mr..
Fair or, in fact, than almost amy Of the
Californans who have come here to in
crease their wealth or lose it, no one can
tell which. 1t is q part Of the current Cos
sip that Mr. Mackny and Mr.. Fair have
mado up the differences about which so
much was said a year ago and are now join
ing hands in new enterprises. This may or
may not be true, yet they are two most in
teresting characters Of the busy, restless
life in New York and attract more attention
on tho street than almost any two men in
the country. Yet with all their money and
all the attention that IL shown them vsn-
ture to say that they are burdened with
what they own and wsre happier when they
were digging in the gulches Of Nevada to
lay the foundation Of the enormous wealth
fortune has emptied into their laps,

PECULIAR TREES.
Natural Wonders That Are Found In vari.
Gus Parts of the World.

Most remarkable are some of the features
of different kinds of trees, and eccentric
vegetation is confined to no tropic or coun-
try, but can be met with all the world over.
In Madagascar is to be found tree
called the travellers tree, yielding copious
supply of fresh water from its leaves. As
1t Will thrive in any arid country where
planted, its benefits to the traveller are
great.
In Venezuela there is the COW tree, which
grows on otherwise barren rocks. Its leaves
are leathery and crisp, but by making in
cisions in the trunk peculiar grayish milk
oozes out, which is tolerably thick and of
an agreeable balmy smell. The natives
gather round these trees at sunrise, and
bring large bowls with them to receive the
milk, for toward midday the heat of the
sun turns the milk sour. The sight Of these
COW trees puzzles the innocent traveller
who cannot account for the trunk being
plugged up all over with bungs and short
sticks. The natives also use the milk as q
! gum
The butter tree was first discovered by
European travellers in the centre of Africa !;
from the kernel of the fruit is produced a
nice butter, which," says Livingstone,
twill keep year"
On par with this is the mama tree,
found in Calabria and Sicily. In August,
when it is the custom to tap the tree a sap
flows out. 1t is then loft to harden by
evaporation, after which the mama, of a
sweet but somewhat sickly taste to any but
those accustomed to IL, may be gathered.
In Malabar there is the tallow tree. From
the seeds of this, when boiled, is produced
firm tallow, which makes excellent can
dies.
The guava tree of the Indies bears fruit
giving the quantities of q rich end delicious
jelly.
But the most remarkable tree yet discoy-
cred fiourishes on the island of Fierro. one
OF the largest of the Canary group. The
island is 80 dry that not even a rivulet il to
be found, yet there is species of tree ths
ieaves of which are narrow and long and
continue green throughout the year. There
is also constant cloud surrounding the
tree, which is condensed, and falling in
drops, keeps tho cisterns placed under them
constantly full. In this manner the natiyes
of Ferro obtain water, and, MS the supply
is limited, the population must OF necessity
be limited also.
In Japan and some islands in the Pacifio
there is the camphor tree. The camphor
forms in the trunk of the tree in concrete
Jumps, and somo pieces have been found ma
thick rs mans arm.
The sorrowful tree Is found only in the
island of Goa, near Bombay, and is SO
called because from morning until the time
of sunset no flowers are to be seen, but
soon after il is covered with them. As the
sun rises the petals close or fall off, Stran.
ger still, the flowers blossom at night all
the year round, and give out a most fra
grant odor. Forbes, the traveller, goes
into rhapsodies over the beauties of night
in Goa.
There is another fanny tres III Jamaica
known as the life tree, ON account of ia
leaves growing even after severed from the
plant. Only by fire can you entirely de.
stroy it.

The growing favor for potted plants for
room decorations has suggested the very
sensible fashion Of sending flowers, net in
baskets or punches, but in pots. II is nice
and poetical, for You cannot help thinking
nice things Of the sender, as each blossom
bursts and gives perfumed greeting, and
the perpetual growth Of fern or palm is
joy eyermore in your sight. Palms, orange
trees, ferns, primroses, small lilac bushes,
hyacinihs, tulips apd citron aloes are among
the fayorites for presentations These plants
are not taken out OF their earthern pots,
but are placed wherever they may be, in
the mind Of the receiver, most decorative.
Sometimes the pots are arrayed with cam
brio dresses and garnlshed with gay rib
bons. A silken scarf or handkerchief Ia
also pretty adornment for pot tied softly
about the crockery.

allowed to go into that building unless it is
up to the standard. The army engineers

building. II would not pay. Yes good

thickness, ought TO last for two or three

II is noteworthy fact that there are few
large tea plantations in China. The plant
is mostly grown upon small holdings Of .
few acres each, the picking and drying be-
ing done upon the spot, whence the pro-

sometimes many hundred miles, by river OF
