The Gigantic Dragon Tree.

The most gigantic specimen OF the
famous dragon tree of the Canary Islands:
stood, until within the year, and still
stands, for that matter, but dead as a.
mummy, near Oratava, on the island OF
Tencrife, the largest of the group above
mentioned. This monster warty dragon
has been fully described by dozens, yes,
hundreds, of globe-tourists VINO have.
"done" the sights of the world during
the past fifty years. Some o. these writers
have set it down as rivaling in age the
pyramids of Egypt and the burial mounds
Of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys.
Measurements of this botanical monster.
taken at the beginning of the fifteenth
century, 400 years before Humbolt's visit, ),
show that the tree did not perccptibiy IN
crease in size during the intervening CEN
turies.
How long must have been the time re-
quired, if four centuries of vigorous
growth did not add one foot to the giants
circumference, for it to have grown from
a slender withc to titan As feet II clse,
cumference?
No wonder that the great Eumbolt did
not even make provisions for doubt
when he calmly says: 81 would con-
slider it at least 10, 900 years old :
To the native Canary Islander the
dragon tree is as sacred as the bo tree is
to Ceylonese, and the rites performed-in
its immense hollow, which Humbolt says
would comfortable provide shelter for
twenty men, was as mystic if not rs
horrible as those performed around the
cannibal tree by the Australian savages.

Some evcitement was caused in Savannah.
&c nv reports that race riot was in pro
gress at Jessup. village of about looo Ill
habitants. fifty-scven miles southwest oi
there on the Savannah. Florida and western
Railroad.
The trouble started about two O'Clock IN
the afternoon. and was caused by the Marshal
of the town. D. Leggett, who attempted to
arrest a drunken colored man. who resisted
and drew a revolver on the Marshal. He
was Immediately dubbed for his pains,
and several other colored men who
were standing by drew their weapons
and began firing at the officer, who
was seriously wounded in two places. Inc
Assistant Marshal, Matthew Barnhili hear
ing the firing, came running, put was smoC
dead before he could do anything. Seeing
other whites coming, the colored men fled
toward the Ogeechee Swamp, whlcn hesnear
the town. and there rallied, and with several
newcomers charged the town. lhey We're
met by resident whites armed with Wln-
chester rifles and revolvers and driven back
to the swamp.
AS their number was constantly aug
mented by new arrivals. the Mayor OF the
town telegraphed for troops. A platoon OF
the Georgia Hussars of Savannah, was sent
to Jessup on the 3 o'clock train, armed with
reyolyers sabres and carbines. Meanwhile
the colored men made another charge, which
resulted in the death of W. II. Woods, cy-
press lumberman. and in the serious wound
ing of W. J. Woods, assistant station agent.
the uncle of w. II. Woods. One colored
man was also killed and several wounded:
Three were captured and locked IN the local
iail. The colored men retreated TO the
swamp and only made che sortle. nothhlg
coming of il. ,
When this report was written several we'll
disnosed colored men were scouting for
the whites. and the information gained
by them. it was hoped. would result
in the capture of large part OF
the rioters. The list of casualties so
far as known is as follows Dead:

through the heart; w. Fl. Woods cypress
lumberman. shot in the heart. Wounded

through the legs; NJ. J. Woods, assistant
station agent, shot through both
thighs Several Others. whose names
could not be learned, were slightly
hurt. Among the colored men one was

A second platoon of the Georgia Hussars was
sent to Jessup at night to assist IN patroilng
the town, and the Savannah Volunteer
Guards. Third Battalion of Georgia, held
themselves in readiness to march at
short notice. 1t was thought how
ever. that the troops already there,
with the townsmen and men from the sur
rounding country, who were pouring IN
rapidly, would be strong enough to quell the
disturbance. Captain W. W. Gordon, of the
Georgia Hussars, who is a veteran Of the late
war and fine officer, was in charge of the
white forces.
