THE TREE OF DEATH.
A Tropical Plant Which Resembles Our
saloons and Gaming Houses.


A tree of death has been sent to a
lady in savannah. Ga, by her brother,
who is living in Java. He says that the
natives warned him against handling
certain tree, which grows in the vol
canic districts of Java and Sumatra,
and which they called Kali Mujah.
They said it's breath would kill birds
and even human beings. He paid
little heed to the story until, chasing a
bird of paradise one day. he saw it drop
lifelesS to the ground without apparent
cause. He found the bird under tree
which gave forth the peculiar oiOr de-
scribed by the natives. and knew that
he hal found one cf the famous death
trees. He examined it closely. 1t had
long, slender stems, armed with thorns
nearly an inch long, and covered with
broad satin-smooth leaves of heart
shape and OF delicate emerald en- one
side and blood red strcaked with
cream, on the other. The flowers were
large, milk white and cup-likc. and gave
forth a faint perfume resembling that
of chloroform. After inhalling it he
became almost insensible, had violent
headache, singing in the ears and
twitching of the muscles. 1t appeared to
have balcful influence on other plants;
for, though the soil was fertile, none
were growing near it. 1t was fatal to
all insects; and small birds felt Its eff
fects at a distance of fully three feet.
They dropped to the ground, and, if not
speedily removed, soon died. He pro-
cured this specimen with some difficulty
and sent it to America. 1t is the first
living one that has ever been brought
here. Unhappily, however, we have
many forms OF evil which produce still
more disastrous results. Though the
death tree" does not flourish here, our
saloons, gambling houses and haunts of
vice do the same deadly work on the
souls of the people that the death
tree" does on animal life. They attract
the multitude, while few go the way to
the tree of life" the leaves of which
are ''for the healing of the nations"

RUNNING A HOTEL,
How Society Woman Was Forced Into
Working Position.


There is well-known society woman
in Buffalo-one feels like apologizing
for that term, but what else can one say
of woman who really is widely known
as one of the most delightful women
that has ever graced American society?
who has just taken the housekeeper's
charge of a hotel. 1t happened in this
way: One of the best-known hotels in
this city belongs to the family estate,
and, although in the hands of a pro-
prietor, receives the general oversight
of the owners. A few days ago hasty
word was sent up to the home of the
family, early in the morning, that the
proprietor had decamped in the night,
and, worse yet, had carried all the
provender with him. There were two
hundred guests in the house who would
have to be fed, and somebody would
have to take the. helm Immediately.
Now, this very charming woman had
taken the helm of many enterprises
before, but never one of just this mag
nitude. Down to the hotel she marched,
however, went into consultation with
the steward, gave him an order on the
grocery stores for the necessary articles
of food, and when the first guest came
down to lis breakfast he never sus-'
pectcd that it had been set before him
through the efficiency of ono of the
most prominent women in Buffalo So
ciety. No one else appeared to take up
the household management of the hos
telry. This woman had the leisure of
the unmarried woman, and so she has
gone on with the work. What before
was the duty of the proprietor-the gen.
eral management of atfairs-now falls
upon her While she does not expect
to take up bookkeeping as profession,
she is still at it, and successfully at it,
and the Buffalonians are all facking to
the hotel to eat dainty viands tnat are
set forth with one of their most de-
lightful women az caterer.--N. Y. Even

BOILING LAKES.
One in California That Will Cook an Egg
in Four Minutes.

One in California That Will Cook an Egg
in Four Minutes.
About one hundred miles north of
Oroville, at the foot of old Lassen, there
is boiling lake covering several acres.
The depth of the lake is unknown, but
its entire surface constantly boils like
huge kettle The degree of heat we do
not know, but we were there about ten
years ago and remember distinctly that
it would scald the skin from the fingers
in very few seconds.
Our party agreed that it would boil an
egg in four minutes. The smell of sui
phur pervaded the atmosphere about the
lake, and around its borders something
like sulphur could be scraped up in
handfuls. This lake is near Hot Springs
valley, at the base of Mount Lassen.
Between it and the mountain there are
perhaps one thousand boiling, bubbling
hot springs, and in tramping about these
springs the soles of a persons shoes be-
come uncomfortably warm. The North
Feather river, at the base of LasSen, in
its trickling SHOWS and springs, and in
a clear, cold and beautiful stream but
few feet wide, flows through this COM
munitv of hot springs.
Some OF the springs bubble up boiling
water within span of the river. Stand
ing in the midst of these springs a pecu-
liar sensation is experienced. AT a
thousand places the earth emits vapor
of smoke, while under the surface there
is a jarring, roaring noise as if hum
dreds of steam engines were in opera
ton, and the ominous trembling of the
earth produces feeling of uncertainty.
A short distance south of the boiling
lake and near Willow lake, which is
beautiful, cold and clear, there are sew
eral geysers that shoot up streams OF
hot water from five to ten feet in diam
eter and eighteen to twenty feet high.
That is a grand and rugged country
about Mount Lassen, presenting every
variety of natural beauty and atfording
unlimited field of study to the geologist.
If it is desired to look into the crater of
an extinct volcano trip to the summit
of Lassen will crafty the wish.
The high Sierras OF Northern Califor-
MIA are little known except to pros
pectors and trsppers Of past age, and
their wonders are yet to be described. -

HEATHEN AND LIQUOR.
A Work In Which the Good Men of Al
Nations Can Unite.

Nations Can Unite.
We copy with satisfaction the follow.
ing paragraphs, which we find in late
number of the Christian Standard of
Cincinnati They speak we'll for the
cause of humanity:
1t is encouraging to know that there
is in Great Britain a committee (C.
which the Duke of Westminster is pres
ident) whose object is prevention of the
Generalization of heather races by the
liquor traffic. ChristendOm has discov-
cred that it is not only highly profitable
to sell rum to the thousand millions Of
our race which are still under the bond
age of appetite, but also that the easiest
way to defraud them of their posses
sions and destroy their spirit of indie
pendence, is to make them drunk. The
committee presented a memorial to
Lord Salisbury requesting that it be
presented by the British representa-
tives to the Brussels anti-slavcry con-
ference. The memorial urged that,
with reference to all the native terri
tories, the laws and customs of which
.se,..s i4.el-thes manufacture and impor-
ropean government which assumed the
administration or protectorate of the
territory should take all due steps to
maintain and strengthen laws so bene-
fetal, and that in native countries
where slIch laws had not obtained, pro-
hibition should be introduced as speed
lily as possible.

committee in London few weeks ago
the chairman stated that since the con-
ference at Berlin in 1889 it was salts
factory to find that this question of the
supply of alcoholic drink to native races
had come very much to the front, large
ly owing to the declarations of our own
ministers at home and the expression of
an adverse public opinion abroad. While
the liquor for the native races came
mainly from Germany and Holland, a
quantity was conveyed in British ships
from Germany, and hence this country
had not clean hands in this matter Mr.
Gaines exposure of the prevalence Of
drink shops in India had led to inc uiry
on the part of the Indian Government,

the result. The native races who were
unable to protect themselves looked to
the governments of the civilized coun-
tries of the world to protect them. The
chairman moved: That this meeting
expresses its earnest hope that the In
ternational Anti-Slavery conference now
assembled at Brussels will be able to
recommend measures whereby the ma
tive races of Africa may be protected
against the introduction and sale by
European traders of alcoholic liquors,
which are SO detrimental to the prog
ress of civilization, of the Christian re-
ligion and of sound commerce." Car
dinal Manning seconded the resolution,
which was supported by Hon. and Rev.
Canon Leigh and adopted unanimously.
And let all the people say ''Amen!"
Here is a work in which Catholic and
Protestant, Agnostic and Nothingarian
can unite, and one large enough to re-
Quire their united energies.

An English Captain,s Nerve.

Captain -, of the Royal Artillery,
was fishing on the Southwest Miramichi,
above Bolestown. In an unlucky mo-
ment he was rather hastily and heed
lessly swinging around his salmon rod
preparatory to casting, his large hook
caught in the thin part of an ear of T.
P, who was one of the Captains men,
who, as ardent and a better fisherman
than his master, was intently watching
the motions of large salmon which the
Captain was endeavoring to secure.
Selling the lines with both hands, so as
to save his ear as far as possible, 7. p.
slowly walked up to his master to be re-
lieved from the hook. Break it off,
Captain; break it off" said one of the
party. "No, no." replied the Captain,

THE BATTLE OF PORT GIBSON,
COMPILED FROM THE OFFICIAL
WAR RECORDS OF THE UNIT
ED STATES GOVERNMENT
And supplemented by Local Informa-
tion Gained from Citizens Resid-
ing in the Neighborhood
ofthe Battle-Ground.

This engagement, otherwise call
ed by the Federals the battle OF
Magnolia church, and also, though
incorrectly, the battle ofThompson's
hill, was fought Friday, May 1st,
1868. between the Federal army
underl erlieutenant-general US Grant,
and small Confederate force CON-
manded by brigadier-general John
S. Bowen. The battlefield lies in a
singularly rugged scope Of country
between Widows creek and Senter's
creek, a few miles southwest of Port
Gibson. Gen. Bowen hazarded the
action in order to check Grants
march on Vicksburg, but after a
a stubborn contest from sunrise till
5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Con-
federate forces were driven from tho
field. The cause and consequences
of the battle will be more clearly
understood after a preliminary
SKETCH OF THE FEDERAL CAMPAIGN.
In January, 1863, few weeks
after Sherman's bloody repulse at
Vicksburg, Gen. Grant assumed
command Of the army on the Mis-
sissippi, and renewed the attempt
on that city. Finding the works
too strong to be attacked on the
north, he determined to land his
troops at Grand Gulf and operate
from the south. But the river was
swept by the Confederate batteries
mt Vicksburg, and as il was Judged
too hazardous to risk q passage un-
der their fire the following scheme
was conceived: Opposite to Vicks-
burg the river made q great bend to
the northeast, embracing i'm its folds
a long narrow tongue Of land.
Across the neck Of this peninsula
Grant determined to dig a canal
thereby forming a cutoff through
which his transports might drop
down the river in safety out OF reach
of the Confederate guns. His plan
was 10 land at Grand Gulf, then
occupied by Gen. Bowen, crush the
enemy there, and march directly
against Vicksburg. 2
Early in April the canal was A.
bandoncd as imprncticabIe but to-
wards the end of that month the
feet succeeded in running by the
Vicksburg guns Closing several yes
sells in the passage) and came to
anchor below. The army, mean
while, was i'm Tensas parish, La,
making its way southWard along the
west bank Of the river. The water
was high, the country partially
flooded and the roads almost impas-
sable; consequently its progress was
slow and toilsome.
Being able now to use the feet
for crossing into Mississippi, Grant
ordered admiral Porter tO lombard
and destroy the Confederate works
at Grand Gulf, preliminary to effect
ing q landing there. Accordingly on
the morning or April 10Th seven
ir0n-clads opened fire, 10000 men
being held on board the transports
ready to cross and land a. soon as
