Rose, at torney for the bonholders of the Lit tie Rock Junction road, better known as the "Valley Route," owning the bridge across the Arkansas River at this place, for their protection. It provides that, whenever any railroad company corporation or individuals shall purchase any railroad from any other railroad company, the purchas shall take and hold the same subject to all debts, liabilities and obliga. tions of the company from which said railroad was purchased, and whenever any two or more railroads shall be consolidated, the consolidat- ed company shall be liable for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the consolidating companies. All persons or corporations having claims against the purchasing company or individual under this act shall pres ent the same to the purch asing com pany or individual within l2 months after receiving notice from the pur company or individual of the sale, or be forever barred. It is only intended to prevent one corpor. ation from making fraudulent bar gain with another and flooding cred itors.

A WONDERFUL TREE.
Touch II and Wish and You May
Get What You Want.

A beautiful young girl evidently
from a distance, walked timidly into
the vestioule Of the White House re-
Gently and blushingly put this Ques-
ton to the usher: please, sir can
you tell me where the Wishing Tree
is situatel?"
For an instant the usher was in a
quaudary, but in the course Of brief
conversation ascertained that the
visitor was in earnest Some one had
told her that there was Il tree in n
direct line from the White House and
in front of Jackson's statue which sus-
ceptible madens were in the habit
of touching and making u wish as they
did so.
Close scrutiny OF the neigAborhood
shows that such a tree exists. Tho
meridian Of Washington runs through
the center of the White House, and in
the grounds near the Washington
Monument there was until u compara-
lively recent period an old sandstone
column, probably three feet in height,
known as the meridian stone. The
Wishing Tree stands directly on the
meridian line in front OF Jackson's
horse, which is 50 conspicuous an OBJ
ject rs ono looks north from the White
House windows. According to the
young lady, il the wish is proper
one it is sure to be granted after the
magic tree is touched. and the bark
shows evidence of numerous visits of
the fair sex who desire to tempt
fate.
Probably this tree will become popu-
lar with the sterner sex, now that its
properties are known and its location
determined, especially with many
weary patriots seeking official distinc-
ton at the hands of the president and
Secretary Blaine. The secret is out,
and pilgrims will now come and touch
that tree as they go TO Killarney to kiss
the blarney stone.-New York World.

The lear Handkerchief.

In some parts Of the Tyrol peculiar and
beautiful custom prevails among the peas
antry. The mission OF the tear handker-
chief is thus described:
When peasant girl is going to DO mar
ried, before she leaves her home to go 10
the church her mother gives her a hand
kerchief, which is called the tear hand
kerchief" 1t is made Of newly spun linen,
and has never bo,n Us, d. She is supposed
to dry her eyes with this when she leaves
her home and when she sands ut tn al
tar. After the marriage is over and the
bride has gone with her husband to her
new home she carefully folds UP the hand
kerchief and places il uawashcd among
her little treasures. 80 far il has done
only halfits duly. Her children grow up,
marry and 60 away TO new homes, each
daughter receiving II her turn tear hand
kerchief, and yet that last pre- -ent, the
present received from her moth r, has n1t
fulfilled its oh. ect. Years roll by and the
once young and blooming br de has become
a wrinkled old woman, and outlived, per.
haps, her husband aud al her children. At
last, when the we ny eyelidS are closed for
their long sleep, the tear handkerchief is
taken from its resting place aud spread
over the placid features OF the dead. Thus
IL performs its IN sson.

1rE BIRTHPLACE OF BURNS.
BY ROBERT G. INGERsoLL.

Though Scotland boasts a thousand names
OF patriot, king and peer
The nOblest, grandest of thom all
Was loved and Graded here.
Here lived the gentle peasant prince,
The loving cOtter king,
compared with whom the greatest lord
Is but tilted thing.
IT'S but cot rooted in with straw,
A howell made of clay;
One door shuts out the snow and storm,
One window greets the day.
And yet l stand within this room
And hold all thrones in scorn,
For here beneath this lowly thatch,
Loves sweetest bard was born.
Within this hallowcd hut feel
Like one who clasps shrine.
When the glad lips at last have touched
Tie something deemed divine!
And here the world through all the years,
AS long as day returns,
The tribute o! its love and tears
Win pay to Robert Burns.
