A tall. spare old gentleman has been
seen during the past few stormy days In
the gallery OF tho House and strolling
up and down the corridors, always car
rying an umbrella, no matter whether
General Greely's weather were fair or
foul. Save that his hair and side whis-
kers were snowy white, he looks very
much like Rev. I. Dewitt Talmage.
His umbrella, however. is more notioea-

Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, of Plainfeld

caught cold, which settled ON her
lungs; she was treated for month by
her family physician, but grew worse
He told her she was a hopeless picfipl
of consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist sug-
gested DIR. Kings New Discovery for
consumption; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself benefited
from first dose. She continued its use

THE AGE OF TREES.

II Can BE Told By Counting the Rings Of !
Cross Section Of tho Trunk.
From an article by Prof. 4. w. Pat,
nam, on Prehistoric Remains In the
Ohio Valley" In the Century, we quote
the following: ''Of late years several
writer's have brought forward many
arguments showing anew, what every
archmologist Of experience knows, that
many Of the mounds in tho country we're
made by the historic tribes. This has
been dwelt upon to such an extent as TO
make common the belief that all the
mounds and earthworks are Of recent
origin. Some writer's even go so far rs
TO imply that tree growth can not be re-
lied upon, and state that the rings Of
growth do not represent annual rings.
As am firmly convinced that
many Of the mounds and earth
works In the Ohio Valley exam
ined by DIR. Metz and myself are far
older than the forest growth In Ohio can
possibly indicate, 1t matters little about
the age OF the trees growing over such
mounds. However, as such q forest
growth gives us the minimum age Of
these ancient works, 1t Is important TO
know what reliance can be placed ON the
rings. In his report for 1887. prof n
Il. Fernow. chief on tho Div,sion ~ For
estrv IN the United states Denartment
of Aoricultnre discussed the FORMATION
Of the annual ring. when sneaking of
tree growth. In a letter recently re-
ceived from him, in which he points out
the probable cause of error In counting
the rings of prairie.erown trees he |
states that no considers any body and |

these maidens are by no means spring

hear OF one dropping of the pay-rolls
with good husband. The late Attor-
ney-General Brewster got wife in this
Treasury Department She was the
daughter of an ex-Secretary OF the
Treasury, and she was one Of the pref
test women that Washington has ever
known. Brewster saw her as he went
through the department one day on
some legal business long before he was
Attorney-General, and he said to a
friend:
what a pretty woman"
She overheard and replied In stage
whisper.
What an ugly mani" and Brewster
you know was ugly enough TO stop a
clock. His face had been burnt all out
Of shape when he was baby, by his
falling into the fire or by his attempt
ing to save his little sister from burn

know which is correct At any ratio he
overheard the remark Of the pretty
treasury clerk. He met her the same
night at q reception and she found Mr..
brewster as entertaining as be was
ugly. After few months he proposed
to her and she accepted him and got a
hrst-class husband. Stephen A. Douglas
married a department clerk and many

Is an nnwritten law in some Of the de.

fact that Europe has not been SO pros
