Musical Trees.

A foreign traveller tells of seeing a
musical tree in the West India Islands
and in Nubia. 1t has a peculiar shaped
leaf and pods with split or open edge.
The wind passing through these gives
out the sound which gives the tree its
peculiar name. In Barbados there is
valley filled with these trees, and when the
wind blows across the island constant
moaning, deep-toned whistle is heard
from it, which in the still hours of the
night has very weird and unpleasant
effect. A species of acacia, which grows
very abundantly in the Soudan is also
called the ''whistling tree by the
natives. Its shoots are frequently
by the agency of the Larvae of
insects distorted in shape and
swollen into globular bladder from
one or two inches in diameter. After
the insect has emerged from circular
hole in the side of this swelling the open
ing played upon by the wind becomes a
musical instrument equal in sound to a
sweet-toned flute.

Phosnhorescent ToadstooIs

Varieties of fungi, or toadstools, as
they are popularity called, which give
out light in dark place have been re-
ported from Australia and other parts of
the world. The appearance of this in
teresting growth, as seen in Brazil, is
described by au English naturalist.
One dark night, about the beginning
of December, while passing along the
streets, observed some boys amusing
themselves with some luminous object,
which at first supposed to be a kind Of
large FREELY; but on making inquiry |
found it to be beautiful phosphores-
cent fungus, and was told that it grew
abundantly in the neighborhood, on the
decaying leaves of dwarf palm. Next
day obtained great many specimens,
and found them to vary from one inch
to two inches and half across.
The whole plant gives out at night a
bright phosphorcscent light, of pale
greenish hue, similar to that emitted by
the larger iireflies, or by the curious
soft-bodied marine animals. The light
given out by few of these fungi in a
dark room was sufficient to read by.

BuncOed Out of $500.

Dr. George Vining of Hartford Conn,
ma, been ''blsncoed' to the extent of $500,
He received the money in package from
the Adams Express Company. Soon after
ward he went into saloon and was in
duced to drink heavily. In paying for his
LIQUOR he displayed large sums of money,
and hanger-on of the saloon grabbed 800
from his hand and ran ont with it. Nining
started after him, but was restrained and
told it was only joke, and that the fellow
would soon be back Soon atterward Vim
ing vas induced to lend $50 and W hen he
bought drinks to the amount of $3.50 re-
ceived no change from 800 bill
The next day Vining went again to the
saloon and was leeced out of $500 more.
He finally quarreled with the proprietor
and his hackers, and was put into hack,
that he might sober up. He found woman
in the carriage, and was driven to the Revere
House, where he stayed two days. Then a
bill of S92 was presented to him. At the
close of this experience he had Sl2 left of
the $500. The saloon-keeper was fined in
The police court and sent to Jail for eight

Gen. Banks, Maiden speech,

A notable feature of the House recently
was the first speech of Gen. Banks. The
subject was the bill to place Gen. John c.
Fremont on the retired list of the United
States Army. The bill proposed to retire
him as Major General. 1t was great trib-
ute to the old leader of the republican party.
General Banks apprec ated this tribute, and
delivered speech worthy of his former eff
forts. He sketchei the history of the Path
finder from the earliest times, and insisted
that, if the government was to retire him at
all. they should retire him i'll position
commensurate with his great services
General Banks maintained that but for the
almost reckless daring of Fremont, the
Pathfinder in the days before the war, the
Pacific railroad might never have been built
and the Pacific coast might rot have been
saved to the Union. The amendment,
which was to retire him as brigadlcr
general instead of major general, was I'M
doubtedly defeated by the efforts of General
Ranks

Mr.. James William Barclay member for

Commons whether the government would
take measures to ascertain if cattle from the
Western states of America were free from
contagion, and, if they were free, whether
they could not be conveyed to England
without contact with animals from the East
ern states, among which disease might
exist.
The Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, president
of the board of agriculture. replied that
such an inquiry as that asked for by Mr..
Barclay would be impossible. In 1858 he
said. pleuro-pneumonia existed in Chicago
and The surrounding district In Illinois
alone l425 head OF cattle were affected. II
was therefore hardly possible that the dis
cas- had disappeared. He further said that
the government intended 10 introduce legis-
lation in connection with the subject, which
he hoped would be ra.se this year.

Brave Young Girl.

There is one brave girl in Charlotte. S. c.
She is Miss Lula Smith, the pretty little II.
year-old daughter Of Sheriff H. s. Smith.
The OF er afternoon Miss Lula was playing
near the jail with some other children,
when she happe ed to see prisoner
slide out the jail through
newly made hole in the wall.
The little miss knew that would never do,
so she ran Quickly to the side of the jail and
picked up big stone. She began to pound
second kinky head, poked nearly through
the hole, and in the act of escaping. Only
a few ticks were necessary to drive the
prisoner back Standing by the hole on
the inside of the Jail were dozen prisoners
re dy 10 crawl through and escape, but
the little woman stood guard at the
outside, and dared them to poke out their
heads. She gave the alarm, and soon her
father was on the scene and the prisoners all
locked up in their cells. BY some means
or other the prisoners had cut hole through
the thick brick wall, and had it not been
for Miss Lula wholesale delivery would
have resulted.
The prisoner that succeeded in getting
away was a negro boy in for trlfiing
offence.

A Miners Porous Plaster.

A miner named Tobias, in our camp
on Chickasaw Shelf had been suffering
with wandering rheumatic pains for sew
eral weeks, and the most of them finally
got together between his shoulders and
hung there. He tried one thing and
another until our brief list of remedies
was exhausted, and then brilliant idea
struck him. He gathered some pitch
off an old stubb, added some tar scraped
from the wheels of a passing cart, and
melted it up for a plaster. He took a
piece of stout canvas foot square, COW
cred it over with the mixture, and then
had one of the boys clap it on his back.
The results were all he could have
hoped for. In four or five days the
pains left him, but day or two later
the plaster began itching so vigorously
that he had to stop and rub his back on
a stoHe every ten or fifteen minutes.
The boys were finally appealed to to
rid Tobias of his tormentor, but we in
vestigated to discover that the only way
to get it off was to skin him. 1t seemed
to have grown into his flesh, and the
slightest pull at it made him yell with
tbC W y illCti SOdNIuS SlCtto-
ing and reheating, but it was no go.
And'thc more we fooled with it the
more it itched We had a heap Of fun
at the poor mans expense, for by and
by he had to get up nights to go and
rub on ais Iavorite boulder. By and by
he declared that it must come off, hap
pen what would. He wouldn't let one
of us touch it, but planned way of his
own. He had one of the boys cut hole
in the margin of the cloth at the top and
run small rope through it. The other
end was made fast to a stone weighing
about 100 pounds. When all was ready
Tobias took his stand on the brink of a
gulch thirty feet deep, shut his eyes and
teeth, grabbed stake with both hands,
and gave the word to push tie stone
over When the rope Strengthened To-
bias uttered yell which was heard a
mile, and FIVE seconds later let go of the
stake aud went head over heels into the
gulch. We climbed down as soon as
possible, but it was no use. The fall
had broken his neck. When we turned
him over to see about the plaster it was
there in the same old spot. The weight
of that stone hadn't even started it loose
at the top. -New York Sun.
