Only One northern Man who Got q Pos
iiob OF the Famous Relic.
A recent article in The Atlanta Con-
stitution said all the published state
ments that numerous persons in tbs
north had relics from the ApponlattoA
apple tree were absolutely false. 1t
stated, upon .he authority of CoEfed-
crate generals Who were present at the
surrender Of Gen. Lee, that only one
man connected with the Union force
had ever obtained any portion Of that
tree and that he had only potion of
the root or trunk. 1t explained that
the whole tree had been cut 10 pieces
by members Of the Confederate army
before the Union forces came upon the
ground, aud hat the master of trans
portation of the Union Gay who, at
Gen. Lees request, suvpA~ de Con.
federate army with r%ations, was only
able TO secure the last remaining por.
ton of the tree, and that il was forty
eight hours after he appeared before
any other member Of the Union forces
had access TO the field. The article also
added that the sole possessor Of a piece
of this historical tree north of Mason
and Dixon's line was Col. Bates, now
of Philadelphia.

THE GHOST OF A SHARK.


The Fantastic Vision which torctold =
sailors Dealh.
Five years ago last summer, when
yellow jack played such havoc in Rio
Janeiro, it was almost impossible to
get men to ship for that port, and
many vessels went out short handed,
among them the good ship Clio, of
Baltimore, of which | shipped boat
swain and acting second mate, said an
old skipper 10 a reporter.
There was nothing remarkable about
the voyage out. We had a good run,
arrived safely, discharged our -four
and took in our coffee without having
a man sick with the fever or anything
else.
In Rio we picked up a young Eng
lishman, Ned Halpin by name, q
thorough sailor, who soon became a
prime favorite with all hands.
We passed Cape st. Rogue on the
homeward voyage, n dark, squally
night, with now and then a dash of
rain. The wind was southeast, and !
walked the quarter decK, i~mpatiently
waiting for eight bells. Halpin was
just coming down the mizzen rigging,
when | saw Linn swing far over the
side and pee, earnestly into the sea.
WheS he dropped to deck asked what
he was looking al.
He replied:
well, Mr.. Shelby, l either saw my
twin brother swallowed by a shark, or
! saw my own ghost and the ghost of
q shark, aud | never had a brother, so
it must b. me-"
j charged him with having rum in
the forecistle and with drinking more
than was good for linn. and ordered
him forward. He started. but rs lie
reached the break of the half deck he
called me.
There it is now" he said. pointing
into the water clear ,longside. Hooked,
but saw nothing but the rushing phos-
phorescent foam as the seas broke
against the vessel 5 SIDE.
l admit that | was somewhat i'm.
pressed by the mans earnestness, but
ordered him forward roughly, and.
eight bells striking o o after, the in
cident passed my mind.
The nights for about two weeks were
alternately squally and fine, and
every squally night Ned would see
that image. We made a quick run
with good weather from latitude 10
north to the Capes of Chesapeake and
would have forgotten all about the
matter had not Ned often said: Boys,
I'll never see Baltimore" When the
white tower of Cape Henry came in
Eght many a joke vas passed regard.
ing Ned's shark, but the poor fellow
shook his head sadly and mu.tcred:
'Ill never see Baltimore"
A tugboat took us in tow and the
men were aloft furling gallant sails,
when there was "A cry and a splash of
water, then a shrek Of mortal anguish.
and as the cry Of Man overheard"
rang through the ship poor Ned was
seen to sink beneath the calm surface
of the bay. his life blood staining the
water around him. while the dorsil
fin of the shark that for twenty years
has haunted the Virginia capes told
the Mortified witnesses that Ned's Wis
ion was true. and added but another
chapter to the psychological mysteries
that happen from time TO time, and
which no man can explain. -Philadel-

Two English Birds That Acted I'm Q
Sincularlx Human Way.

, Two English Birds That Acted In
Singulariy Human Way.
In the yard of Scranton bird student
4 pair of English sparrows began few
weeks ago to get ready to 60 to house,
keeping. They took up their abode In
little box that was fastened to the top
of pole. Other sparrows undertook to
occupy the box, but the pugnacious first
Corners soon drove them away, and from
that time on the plucky pair fixed up
their household and got every thing in
readiness to raise family without be-
ing disturbed by their apparently envi'
; Gus nsighbors.
When the industrious birds were near
u ready to settle down to-a quiet mar
! ried life, an accident happened that
caused row between the pair. One day
before the female had begun to sit, her
husband fitted away and was gone a
good deal longer tran usual During
his absence the female busted herself
by flying from the nest to the yard and
back, adding finishing touches to her
household and sprucing things up inside
OF tho box. BY and by Mr.. Sparrow re-
turned, but he didn't look as neat and
natty as he did when he sailed away.
In some way he had lost all of his tail
, feathers while he was gone. and his wife
wouldn't have any thing to do with him
o. let him enter the house. He seemed
! to try TO explain matters to her, but she
wouldn't listen to him at all, chirped At
, him spitefuily, and fought him when.
ever he attempted to approach her.
The student knew that the bobtailed
| bird was the rightful husband by pecu-
/ liar mark on his head, and he watched
the result of the family trouble with
) deep interest For two days the un-
happy husband coaxed and begged his
wife to treat him as she lad formerly
done, but his pleadings mado her all tho
moro determined to get rid of him for
good. All at once the bobtailed spar
row disappeared, and has never been
seen around there since. Tho female
continued to occupy the box, and inside
Of three days She got another husband,
set up housekeeping anew, and in due
time Matched out q nest full of uttlo

TENTED FACTS.

ALCOHOL is poison-an enemy to the
healthy human system.
WHEN the devil wants to run his
claws clear through a man and clinoh

The veteran Won Moltke considers
the misuse of alcohol one of Germany's
greatest enemies, and adds: "A healthy
man needs no such stimulant and to
give it to children is absolutely wicked"
DR.. B. w. RICHARDSON says we can
form no idea what the history Of civil

hol were altogether out of the field.
Hitherto we have only heard of a world
in which these effects have been pres

the treatment of the young who have
undergone no aberrat ton from nature.

or INTEREST TO SHIPPERS.
In reply to . request for information
as to the risks taken by shippers In
oonsigning grain to Minneapolis and
Duluth, Woodward & Co., a reliable COM
mission firm, of the former city, under
recent date wrote as follows:
The laws of Minnesota are very fav-
orable to consignors. Summed up,
your commission man is your employe
for the transaction of certain business.
| He must account to you for your grain
or money the same as any other clerk
or agent. It is felony for him not to do
90. Will say, in this connection that
nineteen-twentieths of the losses made
through commission men in the last
dve years here or at Duluth, have been
on grain or merchandise purchased, not
consigned. When house becomes
weak or unsafe, its first thought is for
consignment liabilities, and its first
effort, to change its responsibility as
agent to the ordinary one of vendee to
vendor.
The Chamber of Commerce here and
the Board of Trade, Duluth, are also
very strict with their members. Proof
of intentional false return of price or
weight, the addition of charge not
paid, however small, would surely sus-
pend, and possibly expel the offender as
we'll as ruin his business forever after.
The Inspection and weighing here
and at Duluth is done by sworn State
Officers, under heavy bonds. Any ship
per can get certificate of weight or
grade Of any or all the cars he has
shipped, even years after, through his
commission man, or by sending to the
State Weighmaster, or State Inspector
where the grain was sent. In Mime
apolis almost all grain is sent by sam
pie as we'll as grade. In Duluth sales
are usually made by grade only.
Shippers should remember their COM
mission man represents them and that
he always tries to make sales on such
terms as will net them the most The
cost of delivering is fully considered in
negotiating sales and a larger price is
obtained when sold otherwise than ION
track" sufficient to cover the additional
expense. Sellers, in order to avail
themselves of the fullest competition
between buyers of all classes, have to
meet the various requirements of the
latter in the matter of delivering, the
expense being fully covered by the ex-
ira price agreed upon for the property
according to the terms of delivery.
