 Hospital Suffering With Brain Com
 cussion.
 About o'clock yesterday afternoon Officer Crane of the precinct arrested John Ward, 8 man of about forty-five years of age, for as- saulting John Warner. .who lives in the Eealy block on St. Jehn street. It seems Ward came into Warner's yard and commenced making things lively around there when War nsr came out of the house and remonstrated with him. Ward responded by striking him over the head with spoke of 6 carriage wheel. The blow was terrible one, causing concussion of the rain. The ambulance was called and he was taken to the hospital. The surgeons at the hospital said last night that Warner's injuries were of very serious na. ture and it was uncertain whether or not they would prove fatal.

It is that impurity in the blood, which, ac- cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro- duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can cerous growths, or the many other manifesto tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which, fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption and death. Being the most ancient, it is the most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from it.

Pail NAL Gazette: The numerous al
mirers of Charles Dickens will be inter.
ested to know that the novelist's favorite
Kentish home at Gad's Hill the house in
which he died. is again offered for sale,
the present owner and occupier, Major
Austen f. Budden. being DESTROYS Of dis
posing Of this now famous residence. Be-
sides the substantially built house, con
tanning fourteen rooms and the usual Of
fees, the Gad's Hill property Of eleven
acres includes a gardener cottage, green
houses, stables, coach houses, farm yard.
Kitchen garden, rosary, lawn tennis
ground, etc. The house and grounds were
subjected TO considerable improvement
during the novelist's residence there,
such as the construction of a large con-
servatory adjoining the dining room, and
tunnel under the public highway connect
ing the front lawn with o charming re-
treat called "Tbe Wilderness" with it's
two magnificent cedars. Here stood the
pretty Swiss chalet presented to Dickens
by his friend Fechter, but which now
finds a resting place IL Gotham park,
close by. In the chalet the famous writer
was wont TO work, free from interruption
during the summer month";, and here he
penncd the last lines he ever wrote. Ma
ior Budden deserves the highest praise
Tor his sympathetic treatment of this his
toric dcmesne. and il is 0evoutly to be
wished that his successor will entertain a
similar respect for the memory OF Charles
dickens.

New York Sun: Among the queer
things in Connecticut are its trees. Up
in Middletown last week it was necessary
TO cut down a tree in the rear of Out.
tiDg's cigar store. Several bricks were
found imbedded in the roots, so that only
the corners were visible.
Over in Cobalt a large and particularly
straight tree was felled early in the fall,
and last week it was drawn 10 the saw
mill. After starting the saw the attend
ant heard a grating Of the saw teeth and
stopped the mill. He tried another cut,
bat again the grating Sound was heard
and he had to shut down again. Several
further attempts to saw the length Of the
log proving futile the trunk was sawed
across, and an old log chain and a dozen
harrow teeth were discovered imbedded
in the lard grained wood.
In Westfeld a boulder weighing over
half a ton is to be seen about ten feet
from the ground in the crotch of an enor-
o apple tree, and old residents say
that they can remember when that boul-
der could be sat upon, so near 10 the
ground was it when they were young.
A Saybrook farmer tells the story about
his hanging a scyihe in q maple tree sew
eral year ago, after a days moving. The
scythe was left there all winter and the
next summer, until the time for haying
came round again. On going to get the
scythe he found the blade so deeply i'm
bedded In the soft bark Of the maple as
TO be immovable. and he let it remain.
The tree is yet standing in the front yard
of a fashionable residence in that village,
and from each side of the trunk project
two arms, forming a letter T.. apparently
part of the tree themselves. The scythe
blade has been entirely covered with
bark. The handle Of the scylhe years
ago rotted off.

presence and she gave them a kindly lee
ture, advising them to offer an apology.
She said thst General Henry knew that
the future of France in q great degree

severity. Nine. CaTuot's mediation was,
needless TO say, completely successful.

ANCIENT OAKS IN CONNECTICUT
One Tree liz 400 and Another 700 or
800 Years OF Age.

Professor Daniel G.. Eaton. actuated in
part by the falling of Woodbridge's fam
Gus oak before the ~destroyer's ak, has
been ~lecturing in the mechanics course
in North Sheffield hall at New Haven on
oaks in general and Connecticut oaks in
particular. Among other things in a very
interesting lecture he said that the best
cutting timber from an oak comes at the
age of $50 years. After this the tree rots
AT the core faster than it grows outside.
There are $50 different kinds of oaks in
the world, Of which thirty. seven are com
mon to the United States. In Connecti-
cut, says the New York Sun, there are
twelve varieties. The state has SEVEN va
rietics Of white oaks. All Connecticut
oaks belong to the section with the cup
whose mouth is wide enough for the
acorn to fall out. With most Of he 9th
ers the cup incloses the corn.
The largest ard most famous oak
shown to us, he says, was the Charter
oak on the Stewart estate in Hartford.
Two hundred and one years ago ii was a
large and ancient tree. The historical
connections which have made il famous
are well known. On August 30, 1866, "A
great storm swept over this part OF New
England and the aged tree was blown
down. II was then 200 or 500 years old.
The event CAUSED much excitement. A
dirge was played by the army band and
bells were tnlled at sunset. 1t was
thirty three feet in circumference and
thirty seven men could stand in its cav.
ity at n time. 1t was proved to be a
white cak by its leaves and by other
signs"
In speaking Of black oaks Prof. Eaton
said the Woodbridge oak was one OF this
kind. II was an ancient landmark, and
was cut down because ii was feared tina,
some Of its branches might fall on some.
body some time. When the tree was Gu,
down, although its girth was twenty.
seven feet, and the entire heart Of The
noble tree vas found to be gone. A
mere she'll, six TO twelve inches thick
only wal left. He believes that III,
Woodbridge oak was not more than 40t
years old. although he used to think j
was 1000. The Charter oak, he thinks
was much older.

Electric Rjce KabIe,

Martinez Item: A dlce-sEaking game
has been going on at Port Costa for some
time, and the saloonkeeper has been
sweeping the shekels into his own pocket
with cyclone-like velocity. His continued
good fortune at last attracted the atten-
ton of the authorities, and yesterday
aftern Don, as he was indulgipg in his
favorite game. the constable Tor that dis
trict appeared OF the scene The on
stable examined the table upon which The
dice shaking was going on, and found
that under the cover there was a steel
plate which WAS connected with an cicc
trio battery beneath, and a current from
which could be applied whenever the
~saloonist wanted To shake high by press
ing his knees against a knob. The dice
were, of course, loaded, and would work
very well without the battery, but when
the current was applied the skies invari-
ably came out on top. The arrangement
was very ingenious, and he no doubt,
regrets the constable's visit. 1t is said
that the constable captured the table, the
saloOnkeeper, and his bartender; the dice,
however, he did not get. 1t is reported
that they got away with about 81, 800 by
the aid Of this little continuance. The
dice shakers in Port Costa feel very sore
about the matter.

on May l, 1883, during a halt In camp al

steamer khedive next day about | p. M. 10 a
snort time we began our conversation again.
Many or the arguments used above were re.
peated. He said;
What you told me yesterday has led me TO

that Gordon Pasha was slain, they always
TOLD the Nubians that 1t was a concocted story
and that some day we should see steamers as
cend the RIVER for their relief. But OF the
regulars ! am extremely doubtful. They have
led such a free and happy life here that they
would demur at leaving a country where they
have enjoyed luxuries they cannot commandin

of them have harems. Many lrregulars
