different states and naturally retarding

Mr.. Vincent started on his circuitous
tour of South America from Aspinwall ;
most of the journey being made by water,
with frequent expeditions into the interior,
either on the backs of mules or by rail-
ways, which have recently been built,
although very far from perfect. Alter
giving us numerous humorous accounts of
the uncertainty OF the timetable, both by
boat and rail, he very truthfulIy remark
that: Sin South America as in Asia, the
traveller must be armed with "A great
amount of patience and urbanity."
Guayaquil, the great seaport of Ecuador,
was the first stopping place. Quito, the
capital, was visited, where from a dis
tance can be reviewed some of tho most
famous peaks of the great Andes noun
tains. Back to Guayaquil, and from there
he slowly steamed down the coast, touch
ing numerous towns along the route,
Lima, La Paz in Bolivia; and from there
by rail to Santiago. or the state of which
this city is the capital Mr.. Vincent pre-
diets the most glowing future. "In many
respects Chill is the most vigorous and
powerful of the South American nations.
During the last ten years her revenues and
foreign trade have each more than doubled.
Chill must of necessity ultimately
become an industrial nation, and the com
| pletion Of the trans Andean railways and
immigration, will greatly contribute to
this end.'
AT Valparaiso the traveller takes steamer
to Montevideo, via the Strait of Magellan
to the Falkland islands. "The Forlorn
Falkland" as Mr.. Vincent describes this
distant and neglected possession of Eng
land. Montevideo and Buenos Ayres are
both most thoroughly described making
the latter his headquarters, he makes nu.
merous expeditions into the interior, the
most interesting to the famous meat OK.

Our Board Of Trade journal Starts
q Discussion on Candy. s2GM

The Board of Trade Journal of Port
land, Me-, is authority for the statement
that about 5000 tons of terra alba were
recently imported through the port of
New York alone. The only use for terra
alba in any quantity is in the adulteration
of candies, and when these two facts are
put together they become very signif.
can't The substance is mineral, utterly
insoluble in the saliva or the gastric juice
and the result of eating candies adulter-
ated cannot be otherwise than excessively
injurious. The devilishness of the use of
such stuff in candies is all the greater
for the fact that most of the candies that
are adulterated with it are used by chill
dren of tender years. The extent to which
it exists in certain candies may be sur
missed by an incident which occurred
within the experience of the editor of
The National Druggist.
A Wholesale grocery house of st.
Louis made a claim against the South
Shore line for damages done a certain
lot of lozenges manufactured by Bos-
ton house and shipped in barrels ever
that line. The general agent of the line
procured some of the "lozenges" and
brought them to the writer for examina-
ton. The result of our investigation
showed them to consist entirely of terra
alba bound together with a little gelatine
or gum 1--WE have forgotten which,.
Further investigation developed the fact
that they were simply blocks or forms
to be used in preparing cheap lozenges,
the method of use being simply to i'm
merse them for few moments in syrups
favored with peppermint, wintergreen,
etc. The agent, armed with these facts,
refused to pay any damages and the
concern, rather than risk the exposure
incident upon law suit, dropped the
claim.

Joking With Sea Culls.
rOcean.l

Sea birds are always. interesting OBJ
sometimes all the way across, ever rest
less and untiring. The gulls particular
ly, with their long, swift wings, realize
'he highest powers of endurance and fly
With ease against the severest storms
Some say that these birds never visit the
earth except to deposit their eggs; other
wise they live constantly between the sea
and the sky. In fine weather they fly
high in the air, descending with great
rapiuiJy 70 seize the fishes on the surface
of the water.
The symmetry and strength of the
gulls. are remarkable, showing how ma
ture has adapted them in every particu-
lar for the purpose of long flight Their
pectoral or breast muscles are one solid
mass Of firm, hard muscle, and their
bones are hollow, having no marrow in
them. Sleep is not necessary to them,
or, rather, they rest upon their wings
and allow themselves to be Graded by
the breezes, whose violence neither wor-
ries nor frightens them. On the other
hand, they seem to feel fierce delight
in the fury of the storm, which, con-
vulsing the waves, brings up the dead
fishes and mollusks.
Sailors are very fond of playing off a
joke upon the gulls which are always
lowering about the ships. They take
three or four pieces of sail Irvine about
six feet in length, these are tied together
in the middle, and to the end of each a
small piece of blubber or fat is attached
tightly and then thrown into the sea. A
gull comes along and swallows one
piece; another then sees there is plenty
to spare and swallows the next; perhaps
third bird takes possession of another,
but as they are all attached to the sail
yarns, whenever they try to fly away
one or the other is compelled to disgorge
his share, and this is continued to the
tantalizing suspense of the poor gulls
and the great fun of the passengers and
sailors.

chesterfield's lSon.

To turn to that feature in Lord Chester
fields life which has impressed itself
most strongly on the world at large-his
relations with his son-we find that, for
the last quarter of his life, Lord Chester
field lived almost entirely for his son tthe
issue of liaison with a French woman
of the name of Du Bouchet). This young
person is much to be pitied. He is one
of the most eminent victims of parental
ambition, the determination that is, to
make a son what you think you would
like him to be, not that he was born to
be. What Philip Stanhope might have
been, we need not waste our time in
guessing. Nothing very striking, prob
ably. AT best he seems to have shown
signs of being an inferior Gibbon; his
father is always telling him that he
spends too much time over his books, so
that probably he had real taste for cru
dition. But hat was not at all Lord
Chesterhelds idea of man. 1.-THE clois-
tered pedhnt," "the illiberal pedant.' is

the object OF his unceasing scorn. He
determined that his son should lead the
same sort of life that he had led, but be
SO much more successful in that he should
have had the advantage of all Lord Ches-
terfield's experience.
Unfortunately, the scheme of educa-
ton which he devised was far from well
adapted to carry out these ideas. At
its root there was fundamental error.
Lord Chesterfield held a theory, of which
he flattered himself he was a living ex-
ample, that everything except poetry can
be acquired, and, as in one place he
thanks God that neither he nor his SON
was born to be poet, for practical pur-
poses he may be said to have believed
that everything, not merely facts, but
feelings, not only outward habits, but
frames Of mind, only waited for vigor-
GUS will to summon them and take pos
session. This was radical error of his,
but he believed it with all his heart and
soul 1t is wrong, but nevertheless it
may be highly useful lesson to teach
while the mind is in its acquisitive stage.
Then it may act as a powerful stimulus,
but it may be abused, and Lord Chester
field certainly abused it.

Abraham'S Oak.
[Garden and Forest.]

The old oak at Mamre in Syria, or, as
it is known everywhere, "Abraham's
Oak" is one of the most famous and ven
cradle trees in the world. 1t is rever-
enced alike by Jew, Christian and Ma
hometan, for it is supposed to mark the
spot where the patriarch pitched his tent
in the desert. There is superstition in
Jerusalem, and in all the country about,
that whoever shall cut or injure this tree
will lose his first born son. So for CEN
turtles it has been allowed 70 toss its
gnarled and contorted limbs in the gales
which sweep from the Mediterranean
over the Syrian plains.
This tree was visited by Sir Joseph
Hooker in the autumn of 1850, and in his
paper upon Syrian oaks, read the follow
ing year before the Linnaean society
Transactions, xiii, he gave descrip-
ton of it and a portrait drawn by his
own hand.
Abraham's Oak was found to belong
to Quercus pseudo-coccifera, which, to
quote from Sir Joseph's paper, "is by far
the most abundant tree throughout Sy-
ria, covering the rocky hills, of Palestine
especially, with dense brushwood of
trees eight to twelve feet high, branch
ing from the base, thickly covered with
small evergreen rigid leaves, and bear
ing acorns copiously. On Mount Carmel
it forms nine-tenths of the shrubbery
vegetation, and it is almost equally
abundant on the west tanks of the An
tilebanon and many slopes ndvalleys of
Lebanon Owing to the indiscriminate
destruction of the forests in Syria, this
oak rarely attains its full size" The cir
cumfereLce of the trunk of "Abraham's
Oak" is given as 90 feet, and the diameter
of the spread of the branches as 90 feet.
Quercus pseudo-coccifera is an ever.
green species, with the general appear
ance of the Hex, of southern Europe, and
closely related, botanically, to Quercus
coccifera, common and widely distrib.
uted scrub oak of southern Europe and
of Algeria; indeed, Hooker was of the
opinion that the two plants were merely
geographical varieties of the same spe-

July-perhaps in the stampede of col

the air in the grove on that GLORIOUS
day" We learn that the stampede was
precipitated by the dangerous shooting
of a young negro man from Newberry.
He was in liquor and wantonly inter
fered with and struck, we are told, a
person who was in quiet conversation
with another. Whereupon the nimble
pistol did its work. 1t is time the rail-

by refusing the use of their beautiful
