The Biggest Apple Tree.
From the Boston Journal.

The largest apple tree in New England
and probably in the world, is in the north
western part of Cheshire, Conn, standing
in Delos Hotchlziss' dooryard Its age cln
be traced by family tradition TO l4O years
at least. and it may be twenty or twentys
hve years Older. IL is at the present time
of symmetrical shape; the trunk is nearly
round, without a scar or blemish on it
there are eight large branches, five of them
have been in the habit Of bearing one year
and the remaining three the next. Mr..
Hotchkiss has gathered in one year from
the five branches eighty-five bushels of
fruit, and his predecessor had harvested 10
bushels from the same five branches. By
careful measurement, the circumference Of
the trunk one foot above the ground. above
all enlargements of the roots, is IL feet y
inches. The girth of the largest single limb
is o feet inches. The hight of the tree
has been carefully measured and found to
be sixty feet, aud the srread Of the branches
as the apples fall is 100 feet, or six rods
The fruit is rather small, sweet and of mod
crate excellence.

| pleasant things Of the dead, but Dion Bouci
cault's idiosyncracies were such that 1t can
hardly be unbecoming to chronicle one
which he observed for twenty Years of hi:
life. When he was in New Orleans
in ISIS he had spent money very freely
and wanted some capital TO continue one OF
his pet schemes. The wherewithal was adj
vanced to him by an English resident, who,
four years later, backed his production OF
the "Colleen Bawnn in London. The genial
playwright was never possessed of any fru-
gal habits, and when the heirs Of the En-
glishman who had befriended him wanted
to have some small dividend declared on
account. Mr.. Boucicault sat down and wrote
one of his characteristic replies as follows
The calls upon my purse are so numer-
GUS that | have no money to give away in
charity"
To emDhasize his refusal his reply was
written on mourning note, n paper with a
black border one inch wide, 50 that not
more than three words could be crowded
into one line. The same kind OF paper was
used by Mr.. Boucicault ever afterward
when his pocketbook was about to be ap-
pealed to. He would simply change the
phraseology little, "a sudden family be-
reavement" being his favorite opening
sentence.
II the present racing season has demon
strated nothing else it has at least proved
that track owners cannot afford to quarrel
with the newspapers. Early in the racing
year there vas to be no such thing as ad-
verse criticism. Representatives Of the
press who reflected upon the honesty of
trainer or jockey were TO be promptly
ruled off the turf without any possibility
OF reinstatement. That there might be no
mistake about it provision for this
summary punishment was made in
the constitution of tho Jockeys and
Trainers Association. There was a feeble
effort il the direction of its enforcement,
but the results were not encouraging. Since
that time representatives of nearly all the
large newspapers have continually limited
at frauds, a1d many of the hints have not
been of a very gentle character. AS a
matter of fact the turf correspondents
have used the lash more freely than
ever; not because they were threatened
but for the reason that it was richly
deserved. There is likelihood that
before the winter racing is at an end the
Australian system of betting after, as well
as before, the horses have started will be
adopted. This will give those who have
wagered their money on a horse which got
of badly chance TO hedge. With such
system booKmakers would have to keep
their wits about them during the few sec
onds still remaining to them for business.

The exhibit in the northeast corner,
I'D stairs, exposition building, at the
Fair, ranks as one of the finest ever
made at our Fair, of home industry.
The display is very fine, and shows
to what beauty and useful purposes
skins and furs may be made. We
note a jaguar, or Mexican leopard,
head mounted, old Texas lobo wolf,
head mounted, mongoose, with head
mounted, red fox, head mounted,
fixed in center of q beautiful robe OF
different skins; also leopard cat,
head mounted, fixed in center of robe.
Arranged in very tasteful manner
are buffalo robes, polecat robes, crazy
rugs, from different skins, wolf skin
robes, Indian blankets, black bear
skins, leopard cat skins javelin, or
Mexican hog skins, and a beautiful
collection of snow white Angora goat
skins at g. so each. In curiosities we
note alligator claw pocket-books, la.
dies rattlesnake scarfs, fans and
other curiosIties too numerous to men
ton. At the establishment Of the
exhibitor, Mr.. Witchell, No. 81 Sole
dad street, we find q stock OF the
above curiosities and skins fully ter
times the extent of his exhibit, and
every visitor to our city should not
| fail to call and examine these beauti
full goods before leaving the city. A

THE San Antonio correspondent of
the Galveston News says a meeting
of county and city politicians, pre-
sided over by Mayor Callaghan, was
held and that it nominated county
ticket of democrats and republicans.
Was this meeting advertised? Was
1t public meeting or secret conclave
on the "star chamber plan?" Who
composed this meeting? Who au-
thorized 1t to select candidates for
county offices? The people were
never consulted, nor did they confer
authority on this secret conclave to
name the county officers. Boss CAL
laghan presided over this meeting.

THE erection of wooden and cotton
factories in San An tonic would give
it an excellent retail trade, all the
year round, inasmuch as the opera
tives in such factories would expend
all their earnings in the city. Fac
tories would also stimulate the
growth of MERCHANDISING and of
poultry-raising in the country adj
jacent to the city, both of them yield
ing good profits where ready sales
are had. Then, the erection of one or
two factories here would, at no dis
tant day, be followed by the erection
of other factories of one sort or anoth-
er-that is always the case. Now,
are there not twenty live men in San
Antonio, who will invest $4,000
apiece in wooden or cotton factory?
The LIGHT INDUCES the hope that
San Antonio can truly boast of pos
sessing as many live men as any city
in Texas.

THE republicans in the "shoe
string" district are very dilatory in
starting the campaign against Crane;
in fact, up to the present time, they
have done nothing at all. We had
been led to believe, that sharp and
thorough canvass would be made in
the district, and were hopeful that an
aggressive campaign would result in
the election of a republican Ito con-
gress. What is the matter with the
executive committee of that district?
Is it in state of somnolency, or of SUI
preme indifference? If the nominee
Is ineligible, in the name of common
sense, let the committe put another
man in the field and notify the repub-
licans of the fact and open q vigorous
canvass at once. "There is not INC
ment to lose. Let the deck be cleared

THE fashion now, is for writers of
fiction so describe the mothers of
married women as spies, scolds, spit
fires and tyrants, whose sole delight
it is to worry husbands and to destroy
domestic peace. The mother of the
husband is painted as an angelic
creature. This fashion was introduce
cd by the novelist Thackeray, and
was followed by the entire tribe Of
succeeding.novelists. Mothers-in-laws
are just like other people, eomprizing
good, bad, and Indifferent. What q
mothor.in-law is, depends upon her
disposition and temper, and not on the
mere fact, that she is mother-im-law.

AFTER much cogitation on the
Causes of the rapid increase in the
number OF divorce suits, we have
come to the conclusion, that bad
dinners destroy the domestic felicity
of half of the persons seeking to get
the nuptial knot united. A good din
ner puts the average man in the best
humor possible-fills his heart with
gladness and kindly feeling, and
causes him to look upon his wife as a
paragon; but poor dinner, consist
ing of i'll chosen dishes, badly cooked
is really enough to put the best tenn
pered man into an i'll humor and to
cause him to look on his wife as
being indifferent to his comfort. We
advise married ladies to pay more at
tention to having good dinners. Oul
word for it, the plan will work like 8
charm. Husbands will then be al
ways pleasant and good-humoreo
and will be fond OF home and theil
wives.

Firlng Great Gnns.

On the assumption that the rapid heat
ing of the interior she'll while the outer
shell is compares lively cool, is the chief
cause of the bursting of great guns, an IN
ventor proposes 70 cool the gun after each
discharge by the rapid introduction of
liquetied carbouis acid gas. He claims
that his special mode of doing this, used in
connection with a peculiar arrangement Of
the powder chamber, by which it is much
contracted in area ut the front end, can be
utilized in discharging high explosives
His theory is that the released gas goes
out between the projectile and the bore
and keeps the former from heating. What
ever may be the merit of this theory, there
seems to be 20 authentic record of its hav-
