wish you could see my 'Chamadorea
Nook" A big Monstera Deliciosa climbs
a leaning tree, while the mound at it's base
is covered by a Chamadorea, of unknown
species, eight or nine feet high, with deep
green, erect leaves and Whitish leaf stalks
Near by are three or four other species of
Cham@dorea-plan two and one-half to
three feet high, some of them already with
slender trunks, while the forepart of the
mound is diversified with graceful plants

believe wrote you about my ''Cham-
edOrea Nook" and the pretty palms |
set out. Well, the rabbits began to dep
rebate and [ sent off in hot haste for wire
netting to surround the plot. but the
night before the wire got here they made
almost clean sweep of all the foliage
within three feet of the ground and ate
the rarest ore-a unique in my collection
that had been petting for five years in
the green h )use-trunk and all level with
the ground, and did not leave chip even
OF the trunk uneaten.
They ateall the leaves off two more and
mutilated the other two, besides eating a
piece out OF one of the trunks, and also
devCuring every particle, except the roots,
OF one GeOnOma, and nearly all the leaves
OF the rest of the GeOnomas and a small
COcos Weddelliana. 1t was a sorry sight
when | arrived to lock the stable door
alter the steed was stolen. [ have had
dozen or twenty other palms out in the
woods for year or more without their
being troubled but | suppose these
Cham@doreas are of especially good fla
vOr and tenderness. Most of them will
recover in say two years if they do not
get frozen in the winter; but nv poor
Oblongata is gone-the prettiest of them
all.
To-day put out a lot of orchids on a
mossy inclined tree trunk in the ''nook,"
mostly of the rather harder kinds-Lmlia |
Purpurata and others, Lycaste, Dendro-
blum Mobile, Chysis Aurea, Oncidium
Livridum, etc.-about ten sorts altogeth-

A Chinaman Robbed Near Cuca.
As the Cotton flyer was within mile
of Cucamonga on its way to this city yes
terday the engineer saw man lying by
the side of the track. He gave the alarm
on arrival at the depot, and number of
citizens set out to investigate. At the
place indicated they found Chinaman
stretched, bleeding profusely from cuts
in his face, hands and arms, and an at
tempt to raise him showed that his right
arm was broken. The unfortunate Gel
estial was so prostrated that he could
scarcely speak, but, after medical at
tendance, he revived enough to
make statement to the authorities. He
said that he was on his way to town
about quarter to 12 the night before,
and while walking along the track he
met man who demanded his money or
his life. John resented either of the
propositions, whereupon his assailant
advanced upon him with knife and en-
deavored to search him. In the struggle
that ensued ne was cut several times
and was finally knocked down, after
which he lost consciousness. The town
police are working on the case, but being
almost without any clues, have very little
hope OF locating the highwayman.

A Hibernian HOP.

The Hibernians had very pleasant
social gathering in their hall in the Dow
ney Block on Saturday night, which was
crowded by the merrymakers to its ut
most capacity. The occasion was a spe-
ciai one, being in celebration Of the
married couple. In addition to the usual
waltzes, schottisches, etc., there were
Irish jigs, breakdowns, reels and all the
other dances that are supposed to have
emanated from the residents of the
Emerald Isle. Captain Toomey and Mr..
Powers were fddlers-in. chief and were
kept busy until the meeting broke up in
the small hours on Sunday morning.

Ascension DaY.

This is a day of religious as well as
national and patriotic Importance. 1t is
Ascension day. sometimes called Holy
Thursday. which is festival Of prime
importance in the Episcopal and also in
the Roman Catholic church. Though
often called Holy Thursday it is not to
be COMPOUNDED with the Thursday Of
holy week. which in the Catholic church
is more especially so denominated. 1t is
held on the 10th day after Easter and
commentaries the ascension of Christ
into heaven, after completing his earthly
mission. 1t is one of the six days oc.
curing in the year for which the church
Of England appoints special psalms and
recommends as fitting day for the re-
ceiving Of the communion. Ascension
day has been observed from very early
period of the Christian era. 1t was
celebrated in '88 A. D., and
may have been before. St. Augustine
believes it to have been instituted either
by the apostles of Christ themselves OF
by the primitive bishops Immediately
succeeding them.
