DWARFED TREES.
Arts OF the Chinese Landscape Gardener
-Pigmy Bearers of Fruit and Flow
"Nelican man him heap smlart; him

'Nelican man him heap smlart; him

savee makee tlee glow little. Chinee-
man do that; me tell you how do that"
said Hop Low, a Chinese landscape
gardener freshly arrived from the Pacific
slope, in answer to inquiries about the
peculiar dwarfed trees shown in Chinese
garden scenes.
''Chinaman him makee tlee any shape

holding his hand about two feet from
the floor, land him havee nice glood

just ikee samee."
The celestial, who seemed in COM
municative mood unusual with his race,
went on to say that the dwarfed oak
bore acorns and that its wood was just
like that of the tree of natural size.
Citron and bamboo trees were also
dwarfed, and for this purpose the luchee
tree was favorite.
Glow is this dwarting Accomplished"
was asked.
Him velly easy" was the reply, and
the speaker described the process. which
consists briefly in covering a branch of
full-grown tree with mold, and bind
ing the same on tightly with a cloth or
mating of some kind which is kept
constantly soaked with water. The
fibers of the branch thus covered soon
shoot into the mold The branch is
then carefully cut from the tree, and
after the bandage is taken off it is plant
ed in new earth. The tibers then be-
come roots, and thus that which was
branch on the parent tree becomes a
trunk, bearing flowers and fruit. The
buds at the extremities of the branches
which are intended to be dwarfed are
torn off as soon as they appear, and by
this means the growth of the branches
is arrested, and other buds and branches
shoot out After certain time sugar
water is applied to the trunk of the
dwarfed tree, and by this means insects
are attracted which wound the bark
and give it the knotted appearance pc
culiar to old trees. When it is intended
to give any peculiar form to tree the
branches are bent into the shape and
retained in it by means of pieces of
bamboo.
1t is said that bamboo trees scarcely
four feet high are frequently distorted
to represent dragons and other fanciful
creatures dear to the Chinese imagina-
ton. These the informant above had
never seen, but he smiled blandly and
said. China gleat clountlie,'' and
shouted after the scribe:

A HUNGARIAN PATRIOT.

Hngariau papers announce the death
of old Ference Renyl, a.hero of one of
the most terrible episodes of the Hun
garian war of independence in 1S4S.
For thirty-six years Renyl has been
lunatic in a Buda- Pesth asylum, and the
history of his sufferings is recorded after
his death by the Petit Partisan. Fer
encz Renyi was young schoolmaster of
~ years at the beginning of the war,
proud, handsome, and full of buoyant
life. His pupils adored him, and he was
always welcome among the villagers,
whether he came with his violin to play
to their dances or whether his voice was
heard among the patriots chanting the
praise of their country. He lived with
his mother and sister, and was engaged
to bright young Hungarian girl, when
the government, after proclaiming the
independence of the country, called all
good patriots to arms. Ference left his
school and enlisted in the ranks. One
day, after having fought valiaptly at the
head of detachment of soldiers, he was
taken prisoner by the Austrians.
Brought before Gen. Haynau, Renyi re-
fused to indicate the place where the
rest of his regiment lay hidden. On
learning that his home was in neigh
boring village the general sent for the
mother and sister, and brought them into
the room where the prisoner was
kept. "Now give me the information 1
require, if the lives of these two woman
are dear to you," said Gen. Haynau to
him. Renyi trembled, his eyes filled
with tears, but he remained silent.
"Do not speak, my son" cried the old
mother; edo your duty and think not of
me. for at the best have only few days
to live" eff you betray your country"
added his sister, sour name will be COW
cred with shame, and what is life without
honor2 Do not speak, Ference. Be
calm; shall know how to die" RenyI re-
manned silent, and few minutes later
trial was to come. Gen. Haynu sent for
RENTS future wife, who was weaker than
his mother and sister. With wild cries
the young girl flung herself at her low
er's feet, pleading: "Speak, speak,
Ference. See. am young. 1 love you;
do not let me be killed. You will save
yourself and me if you speak out.
When you are free we will go far away
and be happy. Speak, myFerencz, and
save your future wife" She took his
hands, clinging to him as drowning man
clings to his last support. The young
Hungarian was choked with tears, but
suddenly he pushed the girl aside and
turned away. Once more she cried to
him, but he did not heed her. Then
the soldiers seized her. tBe cursedl"
she shrieked; "be cursed, you who let
me die; you who kill me, who are my
assassin" Renyi remained silent. The
girl was shot, and the prisoner was taken
back into his cell, but his reason had fed,
and he was dismissed. Some friends
found him and gave him a shelter, till
after Hungary was once more suppress
ed and peace established, when they OBJ
tanned a place for him in the asylum in
which he has recently died.

THE ANACONDA'S SQUARE MEAL.

Chicago Herald: 'Come in and see the
14-foot anaconda eat his last meal for
four MONTHS" said Mr.. Kohl Tuesday
night, as he ran up the steps of his mu-
scum on Clark street, with dozen peo-
pie jostIing each other at his heels. The
serpent lay in coil in one end of his
glass cage when one of the attaches open
ed the little door of the box and tossed a
big black chicken into one corner. For
moment the fowl pecked at the glass
barriers in apparent contentment. Then
her eyes rested on those of the anaconda.
She paced the pen IN nervous sort oil
way, and occasionally made timid hop.
The snake never lost sight of her move
ments. He ran his big V-shaped head
along the floor of the den until it was
within two feet of the chicken, and then
he paused long enough for his victim to
make frantic dive against the glass. A
moment later the great, glistening body be-
gan to uncoil. Inch by inch the SER
penis head crept nearer to its prey until
the forked tongue, which had been
darting right and left during the silent
march, touched the feathers of the
chicken. The fowl seemed paralyzed
with fear. She conld neither jump nor
fly. The snake ran his head under the
breast of his prey without encountering
any resistance, and second later the
fowl lay dead in the center of massive
coil. The fatal squeeze, which was CIV
en- so quickly that no one saw it, broke
the legs of the hen, as well as every bone
in her body. A few minutes later the SER
pent seized the dead pullet by the throat,
and, without waiting to pluck her or cut
off her feet, gulped her down with great
gusto. This was the third chicken the
anaconda had eaten in three days. He will
not taste food again until about Feb. l..

OCHILTREE YIELDS THE BELT.

The career of the defunot Carlton club
was brief, but so far as the feast of rea-
son and flow of soul went it had some
exceedingly brilliant flashes. With such
wits as Senator Conklin9, Col. Tom
Ochiltree, and Uncle Lawrence Jerome
among its habitues this was Inevitable.
1t was at the Carlton that the famous
Ochiltreean champion belt was trans
ferred to Col. Prentiss Ingraham. Col.
lngraham was formerly tie agent or
manager for Buffalo Fill during the great
western hero's early ventures as show
man. Chow did he come to be called
Buffalo Bill?" was the inquiry hazarded
to Col. Ingraham on the occasion in
question.
"When he was on the plains, known
simply as Bill Coly," was the reply, she
one day saw q vast herd of buffaloes
bearing down upon him. Peroeiving at
glance that he must be trampled 70 a

but the Indians were too speedy for him,
and by quick shot his steed was
brought to earth. In admiration for his
exploit the Sioux gave Kim his liberty and
the title by which he has since been
known"
Rising with dignity and waving his
hand majestically in the air, Col. Ochil-
tree spoke the following winged words:
Colonel, the belt is yours. 1t is no
mere local belt. 1t is the international
trophy. hand it over without MUIR
muir. Take it, colonel. Treat it with
kindness. BY every right, de .jure and

perceptible sob, the invisible trophy was
passed across the table.-NeaO York

WILKES BOOTHS CAPTOR.

An elderly man of medium height.
with broad shoulders, dark hair streak
ed With gray, and strongly marked
features, arrived at the Fifth Avenue
hotel yesterday from Cheyenne River.
Dakota. He was Edward 2. Doherty,
the man who, on April rs, 1865, cap
tured John Wilks Booth, the assassin
Of Lincoln. To reporter who asked
him about the occurrence he said he
received information the previous day
that the fugitive was hiding in a pine
forest on the Rappahannock, not far
from Bowling Green. Doherty was
then lieutenant, and was vigorously
prosecuting the search with twenty
six men.
"A young man captured that day,
who had been with Booth, disclosed
the fact that he would cross the river
at night and sleep at the house of Mr.
Garrett, friend. I surrounded the
house and watched it carefully all
night, but saw nothing. At4o'clock
in the morning, however, in the early
dawn, it was found that Booth was
concealed in an clubhouse. As soon as
caught sight of him | summoned him
to surrender, but he refused A com
panion named Harold, who was in
the barn, surrendered to me, however
On seeing this Booth, who was in
the rear of the building, reclining,
raised his carbine to shoot either me or
Harold, but at that instant one of my
men fired upon him. The ball took
effect in his abdomen, two inches be-
low the spot where President Lincoln
was shot. Isprang inside, seized him,
then on fire. As he passed the de-
serter Harold he looked at him in
unutterable scorn and gasped out the
word Useless
''This was his only speech after the
fatal shot was fired. I gave him
brandy in order to revive him, but he
became irrational and died in two
hours. [ then sewed his body in
a blanket and sent it to Washington.
There his remains were fully identif-
ed by physician, who knew him
well. He was first inferred in the
Washington penitentiary. but the
| body was afterWard removed to Oak
land cemetery, III Baltimore, where it
now lies. The authorities at Wash
| ington, on being furnished with full
proof of Booths death, paid over the
reward of $4,000. Half of this the
detective who guided us to the locality
| of the capture received. 1 got $500
and the rest of the reward was divided
among my men."-Ne,u York Star.

Professor Lemaistre, of Limoges, de-
scribes new disease which is at the
present time quite prevalent among the
school children of France. 1t is known
among the common people as perleche,
and is contagious. 1t consists in an
abrasion in the corners of the mouth,
which becomes little ulcers and some
times bleed; it lasts from two to four
weeks The description given of 1t COR
responds to what is commonly called in
this country ''cold sore" or fever
blister In the sore Lemaistre has
found microbe, which he calls strep-
tococcus plicatilia. These have been
found in drinking water, and it is sur
missed that they have been transferred
to the lips of a person, thence to the
edge of a cup, and thus all who used
the cup became affected. Professor
Lemaistre has examined the $500 chill
dren who attend the thirty-two schools
of Limoges, and has found 312, or one
N seventeen, affected with the disease.

A STARTLING FACT,

1t is not commonly known that a large
proportion of the rheumatism and neu-
ralgia extant is traceable directly to the
diseased condition or imperfect action OF
the kidneys and liver; therefore remedy
which cures the resulting disease must
have found and smitten the first cause.
Many persons using Athlophoros for
rheumatism and neuralgia have been
surprised to find that chronic disorders of
the liver and kidneys have also been
greatly relieved and they have written
for an explanation, The fact is, that the
remedy acts directly on these organs,
cleansing them from all irritating sub
stances and regulating their action. Taken
in connection with Athlophoros Pills this
is, without exception, the most valuable
kidney and liver remedy in the world, and
will cure large proportion OF those who
have these diseases.

DOLLY MADISON.

New York Tribune.-She was said
to be the most popular person in the
United States; but there IS no evil
dence that popularity ever impaired
her simple character, or that adula
ton ever spoiled her many homely
virtues. "She will hold out to the
end" said one of her fathers friends;
she was dutiful daughter, and never
turned her back on an old friend, and
was charitable to the poor" She did
hold out to the end. She left Wash
ington with the respect and esteem of
all who knew her; and then, during
many years of comparative retirement
in Virginia, as the close companion
and interchangeable nurse of an old and
invalid husband, the still useful and
brilliant woman establishes new
claim to our admiration. She showed
no regret for the gay scenes she had
left-scenes for which even the splen-
did hospitality of typical Virginia
mansion of the highest class could
have afforded only meagre compen-
sation. Habitually a recluse IN his
tastes, and now enfeebled by age and
crippled by disease, Mr.. Madison was
watched by her with beautiful devot-
ion, and his comfort was the object to-
ward which all the household was or
dered One cannot say that Dolly
Madison made a sacrifice In adopting
his life. To much love as hers self
surrender is NO sacrifice; it is the
sweetest form of indulgence.
She survived her husband nearly
twenty years, spending her last days
in Washington, where her lovely dis
position and alert mind fascinated all
visitors in her extreme old age, as
they had fascinated all in her merry
prime. At the hight of her celebrity
she had not entirely escaped detrac-
ton; those who did not know her sus-
pected her of counting popularity
with some little cunning and insincer-
ity. 1t is easy enough to see from
her letters that this suspicion was
unfounded. She had one of those ex-
quisite natures which inevitably at
tract by sweetness, sympathy and
truthfulness. She could not quarrel,
she could not think evil, she could
not repeat Ill -natured gossip. The only
language which comes quite natural
to her is the language Of gentle
thoughts and affectionate impulses.
And her winning disposition was
graced and completed by the fine
breeding which is less an acquired
manner than a spontaneous growth of
character As wa look TOOn the
sketch of this model lady of a fashion
which is never old we renew our re-
greet that the good word ''genteel' has
fallen from its ancient state into a
doubtful responsibility; for genteel in
its true sense is just the word for Dol

One on a Bishop.

Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, a
man warmly esteemed by all sorts and
conditions of men, and even more so by
children, was making one of his episco-
pal yisitations, and was the guest of the
rector of the parish he was visiting.
The rector, who was a rigorous man in
the training of his children, had little
boy six years old, who was a great
favorite with the Bishop, and of whom,
in turn, the Bishop was much beloved.
Sunday afternoon the Bishop and the
boy were left alone for while in the
rectr's study, and were chatting COM

said the Bishop.
"All right" said the boy.
He brought the picture book, laid it
on the right-reverend lap of his guest,
and then went furtively back and closed
the study door.
'We'n have to do it on the sly, Bish-
op, you known said he with grin.
The next Sunday the Bishop preached
