AN HISTORICAL TREE.

Its Antiquity Shrouded in Profound Mys- tery and Uncertainty.
 During recent visit to New Orleans I discovered in a woodward, near the
 cornefof Orleans and Dauphin streets, and bearing the distinctive title of s'Pere aAntoine's Palm,'' date tree whose history and antiquity are shrouded in. no little mystery and un- certainty. Inquiry further revealed that the surroundings, now given over to shops and traffic, constituted, in the latter part of the last century, the
 garden of Father Antonio de Sedella, 8 Spanish cura, whose simple, practical
 piety, unbounded charity and unsullied,
 unseAfsh character so endeared him to
 the hearts of the people as to obtain
 for him popular canonization as d saint. When be died the entire city
 was plunged in grief, all busi- ness was suspended, courts ad- journed, theaters closed, and young and old, including the clergy of every sect and denomination; united to pay final respect to the good man; even the Masonic bodies of high and low degree, in full regalia and badges of mourning, walked in solemn process sion behind the bier the only occasion in the history of the order where such honors have been accorded the remains of Romisfi priest.
 E As gazed upon the venerable tree, so suggestive of glittering sands bor- dered by green groves and babbling brooks. of white tournourcd Arabs and stately camels, I experienced an in- effable feeling of sadness, and, incon- gruous as it may seem, the transition from the shores of the Mediterranean to the rugged hills of Midlothian was simple, sympathetic and abrupt, for we both were strangers in strange landgn Then, as the thin, sharp foliage sighed beneath the damp, chill December wind, and wept great drops of moisture that trickled in abject misery down the scared and swollen trunk, I could imagine, as an expres- sion of grief and nostalgia, the sequel of a futile and lonely life.
 For years, more than century, per- haps, this was the only palm of the species in America, but whence it came, or how it found it's way hither, few know or care. though innumerable tales, idle and fanciful, cluster around it's imposing presence. Some whisper it sprang from the heart of a fair Moresco snatched from, her home by Siolence and forced to lead q life that made her neither maid nor wife, and who died dreaming of palms and pin ing for the hills and groves of her na- tive land. Others that it was brought from Syria by 8 noble adventurer, as a reminder of days passed among the shifting scenes of the Orient. Others, again, assert it stood in the midst of q bit of sandy prairie, where 1t now stands, when Iberville brought the first colonists to Louisiana; that atsubsequent- ly it was prostrated by a hurricane and that the present trunk is second product of the roots. None of these, or other popular tales, bear the test of scrutiny, however, and manifestly are of recent origin, except, perhaps that which declares with the fall of the tree the lands about will revert to the city or the heirs of the original grantees.

 How do you keep accounts of society obligationsP" was asked of Mrs. Jus

 'Well, the first thing is to enter the names of all ladies calling and leaving their cards, their addresses, when given, the day they called, the day they receive, and something about them, when they are strangers to you. This is the foundation of your scheme. Then you follow it up by crediting your return visit and making any notes respecting the parties to guide your future action. 80gs YReas sn |. ts'During the season every morning the first thing is to get out the list and go oversit.x First it isnecessary is to note the class of receptions in rule for that day. Thensto classify the persons of that class who have left their cards, then the date of their call and their address. A duplicate of names and ad- dresses must be made out for the coach man. Thus fortified, a lady in society starts out-Mondays for the houses. of the ladies of the Supreme Court; Tues days to take up the Representatives ladies and K street; Wednesdays for Cabinet ladies; Thursdays for Senator's ladies, and Fridays taking in the West End and army and navy ladies For each of these days of the week n list must be made out and a separate one for each week. It can be seen what. a difficult task it is to perform the. simple physical labor of so much writing, not to speak of the difficulty of avoiding mistakes, which might place lady in very embar- .rassing position. '' Saturday is regarded as a public asd not a social day. Formerly the re-. lceiving wives of the diplomats were at home on that day. It has long been the drawing-room day of the wife of the President, and latterly also of Con- necticut avenue. When Mrs. Secre- tary Manning was here she made great exertions to have Saturday made so- ciety day at the Executive Mansion, some other time being set apart for the general public who throng there to pass before the lady of the White House, but she could not bring it about. It would give great pleasure to ladies in society who often have visiting friends here and desire to make a SO. cial call on the lady of the Mansion and would take that opportunity to do so. but who are not willing to be jammed and jostled by such great throng as gather there now. l think that some method will be devised be- fore long. so that there will De a so- ciety and public day for the lady of the White House. s.siaailiR t4 q

Liability of Railway Companies for the
 Acts of Palace Car Empioyes.
 W. was passenger on the cars of the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas Railroad Company, and he went from his seat in one of the ordinary cars of the train to the Pullman palace car at tached thereto, and asked permission of the porter of the car to wash his hands in the basin of the palace car. Some words ensued, when the porter struck w. on the head with some blunt instrument and injured him seriously. w. then sued the railroad company and the palace car company for dam ages. alleging that the porter was the agent of both companies, and was act- ing within the line of his duty. The case against the palace car company was decided against w. on the ground that he was not on the palace car under any contract with that company, and on the trial of the case against. the railroad company he was also defeated on the ground that when he was injured by the porter nc was a trespasser on the palace klr, aud was acting outside of his con

1t can not truthfully be denied that the Burlington Route, C., B. & Q. R. R., is do ing an extensive business, both passenger and freight. Of the first named branch of it's service the Chicago Herald recently said, in speaking of the occasion of the National Republican Convention: 1.-The Burlington Road probably brought in more people than any other, Altogether it. is estimated that from June 16 to 19, the period of the excur- sion rates, over 12,000 strangers came to Chicago over the Burlington This was exclusive of suburban passengers and mostly in addition to it's heavy regular pass enger traffic. In receipts of live stock, the Union Stock Yards Reports show the Bur lington to be far in the lead. The average number of cars brought In by it during the first six months of the years 1886, 1887 and 1888 is 26,140; and the number for the first half of the year 1888, notwithstanding the temporary depression caused by the recent great strike on it's lines, was 4,425, or but little below the average, The latter figure also represents about 24 per cent. of the total number of cars, 102, ,413 brought to the Yards for the last half year, being more than six per cent. in excess of the receipts by any other road.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.


 The ravages of new green bug are causing steady and increasing decline in coffee production in Ceylon.

 The Berlin Homeopathic Society recently learned that. it was the custom of many druggists to put up on homno- pathie prescriptions merely some sim pie compound and label 1t as whatever was wanted. To test this eighty diff ferent burlesque prescriptions were written out in Latin and sent to as many different druggists. Seventy-sey- en out of the eighty swallowed the bait, and put up what purported to be the dose required by the bogus pre- scriptions. The other three sent the prescriptions back. with the remark that they did not understand them. 4

tract. and. therefore, coIrld not recover
 thereundef The case, Williams vs. The Pullman Palace Car Company and
 the Louisville. New Orleans < Texas Railroad Company, was carried to the Supreme Court of Louisiana where the judgment was reversed, and 9 judgment entered for Williams for
 $1, ,000. Judge Poche, in the opinion, said:i
 "We shall follow the decisions of the Supreme Court Of the United States,
 and those of the State courts, upon
 the question, since we arc of the opin- ion that 1t is of broad interest to the
 country, md one upon which the rule should be uniform. Passengers on train may assume thatal the employees
 thereon are i'll the service of the rail-
 road company; that the entire train,
 palace cars and all. were run under the control of the company. The contract with a palade-car company, pr any like organization; is subordinate to tho contract of carriages with the railroad company, and included therein. The porter here must, therefore, be held to be the servant, agent or employe of the railroad conpaiy NBait 1t is eontended
 that. admitting this liability of the rail-
 road couipany, t ls nc.. ia;sie for personal assault by stsiis porter, for in
 making the assault he was n6t acting in the scope of his authority. The enls ployes of . railroad odmpany are bound
 to secure the safety of the passengers
 on the train. The company is liable in
 damages for any injuries suffered by a passenger by reasonsof the negligence of any of its agents, and it is equally
 clear and logical that this liability ex- tends te and embraces injuries inflicted upon passenger by means of willful and malicious assault iriade by an em- ploye upon him. The plaintiff was not trespasser on the palace car when he asked permission of the porter to wash his hands in the basin of the palace car, and the railroad company must respond in damages therefor.

"A shoemaker, of Atlanta, Ga,, has just finished the largest pair of shoes ever made for actual use. It took a piece of leather l 1,040 square inches to
 make the uppers, and 1860 to make the soles. That is, 5000 square inches altogether. If that leather were cut into strips an eighth of an inch wide. and made into one long string. the string would be 24,000 inches long. The shoes weigh eight and one-quarter pounds. The soles are fourteen inches long, five and one-half wide and eight and three-fourths inches deep. That doesn't count the heel, which would add another inch to the depth.
