The recent destruction by nrc of ther old Greeley homestead at Cbappaqus' brings to mind the flrs. homeslead of ihe Greeley family in westchester county which was located in Purdy's Station,- some miles yond Chappaqus.
 When . very young mau Horace Greeley rented the little house shown iD
 inc picture. paying rent of s5 monsn therefor. The house was at that time smal,e, by several feet than at present.
 Ii had three rooms, sitting room and
 kitchen on the first floor and bedroom
 on the second. It is about mile and .
 half from the depot at Purdy's and sets
 back about twelve feet from tho road.
 An old fashion stone wall surrounds tho
 house. and an old swinging gate, on
 which the Greeley children used OH 10
 swing. gives entrance to the grounds.
 Mir Greeley occupied tho house. SO
 tradition says, for about two years and
 then moved to New York with his faus' iy. The new tenants of the house sutit an addition. but of ma terials so like see older part that the impr ovemcnt n tass space makes but little diNcrence m the appearance of the house. The house IS very old, so old, in facs, that the oldest inhabitant of Puriy's Station cannot tell l when it was built. aud il is as present occupied by poor family. the head or which ekes out m existence from the little garden which hc tends on fhe place and from work on neighboring' farms. | While the old homestead has one to ashes the older house Of the (, reeiey 1 family still stands curiosity to vh Vt0rs | to the little town of Prudy's Station

How Trees Have Sense.

Oliver Wendell Holmes is always giving a peculiar turn to things, and his la atest twist is on a tree, which he sails Ia great underground creature with it's tail in the air
 Here is what he says about it in The Atlantic Monthly
 "Yes. n tree Is m underground creature, with it's tail in the mir. All it's intelligence is in its roots. All the senses 1t has are in it's roots Think what sagacity it shows in its search after food and drink! Some how or other. the rootlets, which are it's tentacles, find out that there is n brook at moderate distance iron the trunk of the tree, and they make for it with all their might. They find every crack in the rocks where there are few grains of the nourisl- ing substance they care for. and in sinuate themselves into its deepest recesses. When spring and summey come, they let their tails grow, and delight in whisking them about in the wind, or letting them be whisked about by it; for these tails are poor passive things, with very little will Of their own, and bend in whatever direction the wind chooses to make them. The leaves make deal O. noise whispering. have sometimes thought l could understand them, IS they talked with each other, and thnt they seemed to think they made the wind as they wagged forward and back. Remember what 1 say The next time you see tree waving in the wind, recollect that it is the tail of great underground, many armed, polypus-like creature. which is as proud ot it's caudal appendage, especially in summer time, as pea cock of his gorgeous expanse ofplum- age.
 Do you think there is anything so very odd about this idea? Once get it well into our heads, and you will find it renders the landscape won. derfully interesting. There are as many kinds of tree tails as there are oi tails to dogs and other quadru. peds. Study them as Daddy Gilpin studied them in his Forest Scenery but don't forget that they are only the appendnge of the underground vegetable polypus, the true organ ism to which they belong

Nocuards,"

"where are the guards?" was the .xclamation of an English member yi Parliament as he entered a corridor leading to the private room of the President of tIie Unit ed States. He was visiting this country to study the sctdul work ings of Republican institutions. He had seen massive public buildings, countless homes thatshowed univer' sal prosperity, md a contented peo ole, but he had shown no surprise, for in a way England, the moriar cl'y, could show the same. He had ex. pressed wish to see the chief mag
 strate, and had asked an American to whom he had letters of introduc Ition to tell him where the President hrovei in the afternoon. that he might stand and watch him pass.
 His first surprise came when he found that he would not be obliged to stand in the streets, but could go nt once to the executive mansion and be presented. The man who accom-. panied him chanced to be of the newspaper guild and they were en- abled to reacb the upper corridor without SO much as addressing n doorkeeper. Once there, they pass ed in to a large room which the American said was where the Cabinet met. "Beyond that door is the Presidents s priwte room. Twill send in our cards, he concluded. It was then the member of Parliament expressed surprise. So near tine high est ruler ofa great power. and no lackeys, mo file. of guards. No won der he said: "Wlsers arc the guards" His amaze increased when mo- ment later the door opered and they stood before n man in plain citizens | dress, who hnd evidently been writing at his desk. The Englishman knew he had touched the pith of Repub l lie when he was introduced to Gen Grant, the President of the United ] States.
 1 Other foreigners have been equally surprised at the accessibility of oui chief uiagistrate. X few years ago Sir Thomas Esmond and Arthur iO'Connor, two Irish members of Par lament, called by appointment at the white house. They waited q mo ment in the blne room and were then escorted through a cosy private cor ridor where child's doll-Nellie Arthur 's--lay on chair, to the pri
 vate room of the President. It is uu- necessary to add that they always spoke cordially of the simplicity of American institutions.
 Another Englishman, Sir Edwin Arnold, is the latest foreigner to comment upon Il custom about which every American boy and gir
 has right to boast a wee bit. Hs went to the white house unan
 nounced when here in 1889, waited in an ante.chamber until the Cabinet meeting adjourned, and was then bidden at once into President Harri- sons private room. The following day he went by appointment with his daughter and had equal good fortune in being received at once. In Ethe conversation afterward pub Iished in London paper, the au thor of s'rhe Light of Asia" men tons the ease with which he saw the
 President with much surprise and q little cautious approval. A city bred boy Is not more astonished the first night he spends at farmhouse to find that the farmer never ''locks up." than these foreigners to find l lthat uthere is no guard between Pres ident and people. Wide Awake.

TELLS HIS OWN CRIME.
Strange Story of . Dead Man Who Gave Clew to . Murder He Had Committed.

A story told in Cherokee county makes dead man disclose murder committed by himself while in life. The story goes that Scotch trader pushed his way np into the heart of tho Cherokee country far In advance of other white incnrsiops. He took to wife suuaw of tl,e tribe. and by hor had two sons He was shrewd in bus mess. and when in years after other white men began to come. he made use of his kinship with the whites and acquainted with the Indians to turn both to account. On his death he willed all he had to his two sons. with the proviso that neither one should marry against the wishes of the other. The elder brother was hardy, grasping and taciturn. while the younger WAS softcr-henried and impressionable. As q consequence. it was not long before the latter wanted to mary.
 All right said the elder brother. but want you to go on \ trip with me 10 Savannah first
 The proposed trip was made known. and few days later. when the house was seen closed up no attention was paid to it. X week later the elder brother alone returned. He stated that they had gotten into fight with some Indians. in which the younger had been Killed From that time on the elder brother. whose name was Tom, grew more morose, and kept within his house. His aversion to visitors was so great that soon he had nones and even when he did walk out people would pass long way around him. In this way ten years passed when Tom got desperately Ill and died. The kindahenrted frontiersmen gathered around tho dead mans bed and were talking about his lie. While one of the party was recalling the trip of the brothers to Savannah. suddenly the form of an Indian, fully armed, stood On the threshold. Motiunlsss and like . statue. with not Il feature stirringl
 s.Go!n exclaimed q voice,
 It was the dead man who spoke. There he sat erect with eyes fixed upon the figure. and with his index finger pointing to the door of an inner room.
 The figure of the lndian disappeared in that direction The corpse fell back into it's position and dead silence rcigned for fully ten minutes. At last the speaker who had been interrupted. said:
 Let us examine that room.
 The door was opened. and the In- dian was gone. Not sign was to he seen. The floor disclosed nothing sus- picious. Then an examination of the walls was begun. X rough place was found, which indicated that oace the boards had been torn of An ax was secured. and the board was prixed from its place. when tumbling out after it came the skull aud frame of a human being.
 At last the mystery was solved. The theory arrived at was that as this was the room in which the younger brother had slept. il was the one in which he had been been killed: that Tom had hired the Indian to do the bloody work. and that the scene which the watchers had just witnessed was but repetition of the one in which the young man had lost his life. --.Atiaasa Consultation.

A Wonderful Cavern.

 cave in the mine few days ago, about
 POO feet from the surface, and dis.

 student of archaeology. The miners
 were putting in hole. when the drill
 suddenly disappeared. much to their
 astonishment. A couple of holes oi
 less depth were then drilled and fired.
 which made an aperture though which
 the men entered a chamber about forty
 feet square aud quite as high. the
 sides and roof of which were chalce. dony bulged out in all sorts of grotes. que shapes. Sammy entered first. and, swinging his candle around. caught sight of Il score of objects that startled
 him, Come in boys!n he exclaimed.

 They crawled in and participated in Sam's astQnishmcnt. for which thers
 was ample cause. as the interior of the cave flashed with the iridescence of . million of colorcd gems.
