Within radius of sixty miles of
Nashville, Tenn, there is to be found
tree that i. said to be the shittim
wood Of ark fame. Celebrated botan.
lists from all over the country have ex.
amined the trees, and agree that they
grow nowhere else on the globe.
They have decided that is the shittim
wood Of which Noah's ark was con.
structed, mention OF which is made
several times in the Bible. The tree
if medium sized, with very dark,
smooth bark, and the wood is of a
bright gold color. In early spring the
trees are laden with long, white bios.

plumes. There seems to be no doub,
about the identity of the trees, and il

in this small area, and so few at that

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 16.-At
the residence of Byrt Smith of Devine
station, near here, a horrible tragedy
occurred yesterday afternoon at about
a O'Clock. Callie Smith, who was
celebrating her fourteenth birthday,
attempted to light a fire in the kitchen
stove. Near her were three younger
children. After lighting the fire the
child attempted to pour kerosene
upon the Goals from a glass.lined oil
eau. The stream catching fire, the

dlen with burning oil. The baby,
Willie, died within an hour, the eldest
somewhat later, and the two little
girls Dalia and Dosia, died be.
fore 2 O'Clock last night. Mrs. Smith
their mother, is so badly burned
about the hands and face, and they
are otherwise SO much injured by her
striking them upon the walls and ia.

sue and she will lose the use of both.
The father was away at the time, and

of four alive. The house was not

The tenacity with which people love
to hold to their homesteads is illus.
trated in a piece of land at Bar Har.
Dor, the fashionable watering place
which has "a view" and would be a
splendid site for cottage. 1t is
owned by an old Irish washerwoman
who has hut and dries her clothes
there. All persuasions to sell it have
failed to move her, and it is said tina,
$4,000 was offered for the property
this summer. The supplemented
Bar Harborites have always resented
the inroads of "the swells" and the
way they have appropriated the place,
and many Of them have similarly re-
fused to sell their birth places.

Maine historians say that over 100
years ago wolves came down from the
north and devoured most all the deer
in the colony. Some of the deer
swan to the island along the east and
a remnant was saved. The wolves,
having no deer to eat, turned to the
domestic animals Of the country, and
gave the settlers great trouble. The
Indians, too, robbed of their meat
supply by the wolves, were for a long
time in a starving condition, and often
those in the interior went miles to the
the seashore for food. The wolves at
length went northward, and little by
little the deer increased until 1870,
when there was another wolf raid, and
for two years they played havoc with
deer and cattle. Then they disap.
peared, and have not since been seen
much in the State. Deer are again
increasing, both because of the abb
sence of wolves and because Of the
stringent game laws of Maine.

Jay Gould, it is said, pays $4,000
a year to his attending physician, DR..
William Mum, and thus commands
his entire time. The contract is for
twenty years, or until Mr.. Gould's
death. DR.. Mum has devoted his
time since his engagement, which be.
gan year ago, to a careful study Of
the human nerves and their diseases
and it may be assumed that Gould's
nerves will be kept steady if the most
enlightened treatment can accomplish
that result.

Unless the influx of immigration be
stopped or restricted within proper
limits, the tariff will in time become
nothing more than a means to the
sudden enrichment of the few en-
ployers of labor. 1t will not protect
wages at all. The swarms of foreign
laborers willing to work for wages
upon which Americans would starve,
will, if permitted, fix the standard
here; and competition will make it so
low as to sweep away the intelligent,
independent, many and respected

know.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Breach of Privilege.

LONDON, February 13.-Pictou, home
ruler, directed the attention of the
Commons to the arrest in London last
week of Pyne, O'Brien and Gilhooly,
which he claimed constituted breach
of privilege.
The speaker said Pyne and Gilhooly
were arrested on a criminal warrant.
In this case no breach of privilege was
committed.
The arrest of O'Brien, however, was
a breach of privilege, and Matthews,
home secretary, apologized for the un-
fortunate occurrence.
Attorney General Webster denied
that any privilege existed. Explana..
tons and apologies had been given and
if they did not suffice, O'Brien could
prosecute q remedy elsewhere.
After considerable debate, in which
Gladstone and Parnell supported Pic
toms views, Morley moved that the
matter be referred TO the committee on
privileges. Rejected.
