brate animals which were either identical
or so closely allied as to be possibly vari-
etal forms. In like manner the early
plants of the upper silurian, devonian and
carboniferous present many identical spe-
cies but this identity becomes less marked
in the vegetation of the more modern
times" This might be held to indicate
that the European and North American
continents had become more and more
widely separated; but it is pointed out
that the earlier flora consisted mainly
of cryptogamous plants, the spores
of which in modern times have proved
capable of transmission for great distances.
Some, indeed, were actually fitted for Ao-
tation. Yet another another argument is
advanced from the biological side While
many plants and marine invertebrates are
common TO the two sides of the Atlantic, it
is different with land animals, and espe-
cially vertebrates. | do not know that any
fossil insects, or land snails, or millipedes
of Europe and America are specifically
identical, and of the numerous species of
batrachians and of the carboniferous and
reptiles of the mesozoic all seem to be dis
tinct on the two Sides The same appears
to be the case with the tertiary mammals,
until, IN the later stages of that great pc
Rod, we find such genera as the horse, the
camel and the elephant appearing on the
two sides of the Atlantic; but even then
the species seem different, except in the
case OF few northern forms"-Sn W.

MARRIED OR SINGLE.-Charles Dudley
Warmers humorous presentation in Har-
per's Magazine of the difficulty in continu-
ing woman's identity with her maiden
name, after it is merged in that of her hus
band, calls attention, incidentally, to a real
difficulty in deciding, when woman is to
be addressed by letter, as to whether she is
married or has been married This will be
recognized as having often occasioned en-
barrassment, and sometimes ludicrous and
even awkward results. A charming
young lady of this city not long since,
who had hardly reached her teens, found
letter i'll the Postotfice directed to her
with the address of B. Hobart, Esq.
1--WE do not of course give the real sur
name). The greatest difficulty in the
matter is that single women are often of
Tended in having it supposed that they are
married, and married women rein a worse
state of mind, if possible, at the suggestion
that they are in state of single blessed
ness. The Springfield Republican sug-
gests that it is allowable and proper
for every woman, in addressing a
stranger, to sign herself with her proper
title in parenthesis before the name
1t holds, indeed, that to omit it, in fact, is
hardly proper. Time will be required to
educate women to the point of realizing
this, but it will be an aid to Others and
may save themselves some modification if
they take this course.-B0ston Herald.

OYSTERS THAT GROW ON TREEs.-The boat
soon reached the mangroves, ana, pushing
in as far as possible, we found ourselves
surrounded by the lie of the tropics. As
the tide was out, we could reach up from
the boat and gather over our heads the
oysters, which were growing in great cus-
ers on the roots and branches of The trees.
The clear water was filled with fishes of
strange forms and brilliant colors, and they
were perfectly fearless, so that they could
be examined without difficulty, as they
chased and captured their food among the
submerged roots. The bottom was thiclly
covered with beautiful sea-anemones, and
everywhere, on the bottom, on the roots and
branches OF the trees, and on the rocks at the
waters edge, we found q wreath of mol
lusks and crustacea, which soon taught us
to regard the mangrove thickets as rich
collecting-grounds. We were, however.
unable to penetrate through it 10 the land
until we discovered little cove, where
the bushes had been cut down. Push
ing the boat into this, we reached an open,

if the coming woman is to be free, equal,

COSTUMES IN GENERAL,

Long draperies continue TO rule; basques
very short at the sides, pointed in front and
usually, from compliment to the hustle
with position back. Collars high, and
sleeves with plain dresses, always plain.
For evening, there are, of course, very
beautiful Celebrations. Low-neck dresses
with very short sleeves, or. really, none,
are still worn, but the square-cut or pointed
are too essential to become questionable.
Trains are full and long, with rounded cor
ners, in Martha Washington style, but, as
hitherto, are optional, and relegated chiefly
to matrons. Peasant waists are a pretty
fashion, a seryiceable one, and will be very

OF our best and bravest American soldiers
He was not West Pointer, but enlisted
as private in Pennsylvania regiment in
the late war When the coorel regiments
were formed it was with difficulty men
could found to officer them. Crawford
was given subordinate command in ono of
them He thus tecame a member of tho
regular United States army. He was at
length appointed TO captaincY in the Third
United S a,es cavalry. After the war he
was assigned to duy out on the torder,
which most officers hate like death. There
this brave soldier, who rose from the ranks,
has remained ever since, fighting Indians.
He was never a 'tfeather-bedp soldier. He
has taken part in the indian campaigns in
Montana Dakota, Idaho Nebraska Colo
rado. Arizona and New Mexico. When the
savage Geronimo broke out of camp in
New Mexico, in May, 1885, Capt. Crawford
asked 10 be assigned to the duty of hunting
him down. 1t was task whose difficulty lew
persons east can understand. 1t was like
hunting foxes in mountain fastnesses. The
capture of the treacherous chief would have
been the greatest feather of his life in the
cap of Capt Crawford. His services to his
country would have been recognized hand
somely. But he laid hold on victory and
died with it in his grasp.
The circumstances of his death are pecu-
liarly melancholy Our readers know all
ready that he fell dead with bullet in his
head, ball fired by hands ostensibly friend
ly. Geronimo was run down at last in
Mexico, 200 miles south of the New Mexico
border. The spot was in the mountains Of
western Mexico in chihuahua county, very
near the 1OSth meridian of west longitude.
Mexican soldiers were pursuing the red
enemy, too He was accustomed,
after committing depredations in one coun-
try to flee over the border into the other.
Capt Crawford had numbers of Indian
scouts with him. 1t is claimed that the
Mexicans mistooll these for hosties and fired
on them. An attempt was made to signal
the Mexicans and bring them to parley,
| but before this could be done another volley
was fired, and the dashing, untiring Indian
fighter fell dead. There are those who be-
lieve that this firing was not wholly aeci-
dental, but that the Mexicans knew what
they We're about 1t is hoped there will bs

Mr. Tilden's country home at Greystone is
situated on the east bank of the Hudson
about egh' cen miles from the New York
city hall, and is one of the first among the
beautiful homes of America. 1t was built
by John T. Waring, a Massachusetts, hat
manufacturer, who made his money, 1t is
said, by using convict labor. The building
and farm of about 100 acres cost him $780,
0O0 Mr. Tilden bought it in 1879 and has
since been constantly at work improving it.
Every day that is not stormy he can be seen
inspecting the various portions of his
farm y as he calls it, and it is farm. and
an exceedingly we'll regulated one, the stock
being the very best procurable. The green

Mn. r1nnrN IN ms STUDY.

Few students devote as much time to their
books as Mr.. Tildcn and fewer possess in
such a remarkable way, the faculty of grasp
ing, analyzing and retaining all they
read. took hasty glance at the numerous
books which were conveniently arranged on
his study table. They all appeared to be
either the memoirs of statesmen or pertained
TO statesmanship or economic subjects in
some way. At every turn in the house are
cases of books, each devoted to some special
subject Through the services OF his amanu-
ensis and two va.ets he is enabled to bring
to hand Immediately any work he desires to
refer to- Often he will send a special mes
seneer to his city house in Gramercy park
for a book to assist him in his investigations.
Like the great general he is, he has
room devoted to topography, where maps
and charts Of the whole world are kept for
reference. The house throughout is fur
nished with every convenience that excel
lent taste could suggest, from steam en-
gine in the cellar to the powerful telescope
in the upper chamber Of the tower. The
northern wing OF the building is devoted,
with the exception Of spacious billiard
room, to the dozen servants and the culinary
| department. The walls Of the house are
hung with works of art OF the choicest kind,
prominent among which are excellent re-
productions OF the treasures of the vatican.
| Above the parlor, music and reception
rooms at the south side Of the building are
Mr. Tilden's apartments. The remainder of
the house has accommodations for probably
twenty-five guests. The house and grounds
are constantly open to visitors. His guests
number many OF the most prominent public
men of the country
This is the house that was the Mecca for
