Gen. Forsyth Relieved

Gen. Forsythe, who was in command
of the seventh regiment when the dis
astrous attempt at disarming was made
was relieved of his command by instruc-
tions from Washington pending an in
vestigation. Maj. Whiteside, the next
in command, succeeds Forsyth temper
arily. The accepted reason for Gen.
Forsyth's relief from duty is the manner
in which troops were placed on the bat

EFFECT or WIND ON TREES
Something Besides Pressure Which Di-
rect Their sors

Something BESIDES Pressure Which Di-
rect Their cops.
Trees which grow in exposed sitna-
tions have their tops always leaning
away In the opposite direction from the
prevailing winds, and the casual OBJ
server concludes that the branches have
been bent by the constant pressure of the
wind and retained their position. Now,
although such trees have the appearance
exactly of trees bending under gale,
still it is not pressure in that way which
has given them their hape The fact
is, they have grown away from the blast
and not bent by ii after they grew Ex-
animation of the branches and Iwigs
will show this, says q writer in the
GaTde11
We hardly realize the repressive effects
of cold wind upon tree growth, which it
partially or altogether arrests, according
to it's prevalence. Conifers show the eff
fects of this more distinctly than other
trees. Owing to the horizontal habit of
growth of the branches they point di-
rectly to the teeth of the gale from what
ever direction 1t comes, and cannot, like
the oak, lean over and grow IN the OPP
posite direction, hence coniferous trees
growing in exposed situations produce
good long branches on their lee sides,
while on the windy side the branches re-
tain their rigid horizontal position, but
make comparatively little growth, which
is simply suppressed
Example: | measured the branches of
a Nordmann's spruce, growing in po-
sition fully exposed to the north and
south. One branch on the north side Of
the tree had fifteen annual nodes or
growths, and was seven feet long, and
it's opposite had the same number of
nodes, but was nearly two and one half
feet longer, all the lateral branches
being proportionately long and well
furnished.

Nashville, Neb., Jan 5.-A Scout just
in says that fourteen cavalry horses,
with saddles and other equipments on,
we're brought in to the hostile camp by
young warriors. The scout heard the
hostiles make remarks to the effect that
there were fourteen less soldiers to fight
and that they, the hostiles, lost only two
warriors in getting the fourteen cavalry
horses, etc.
The scouts report has created a new
sensation here, which is being followed
up by increased activity around military
headquarters. That the intelligenc
means that battle or skirmish has ia
ken place in which Brooke or Carr's
command has lost men there is little
doubt.

Closely allied to the lilies are the
amar lids, whose showy and attractive
flowers make them so desirable for pot
culture. The bulbs shonld be potted
in rich, sandy loan and require much
moisture while growing. Their periods
of rest and growth are strangely mark
ed, and, after the blooming season is
over, the foliage also ripens off and the
bulb must have entire rest.
In repotting, care should he taken
that the bulb Is not entirely covered,
the upper third should appear above
the surface. The soil should be rich
and well-manured, and the plant should
be occasionally watered with liquid
m Inure during the growing and flower
ing season when it will throw up tall
flower stalks crowned with rich lily-like
blossoms.
There are several species: Amaryllis
Johnson is one of the most elegant,
with large crimson flowers striped with
white. A. Formissisima (Jacobean hly)
has rich, dark crimson blossoms.
Equestre is of a sparkling orange red
with centre star of green and white.
To the amaryllIds also belong the
Zepyranthes and Cooperia spoken of in
our last number.
Amaryllis Belladonna, the Belladonna
lilies, have handsome large flowers.
We give illustration of A. Belladonna
Spectabilis Bicolor, for which, as well
as for that of the fairy lily given last
week, we are indebted to W. Ii. Maule,
the well-known Philadelphia florist.
This variety is said to be perfectly
hardy, an ex eedingly strong point in
its favor, the !arge umhels are white
and carnation given il a peculiar blush
ing appearance. 1t is scarcely possible
to give a description which can convey
any adequate idea of their beauty.

a FAITHFUL ST. BERNARD.
where . Noble Dog Was Found Guarding
Poor Drunken Wretch.

Poor Drunken Wretch.
Handsome? OH don't know. Think
I belong to the class of people who tail
to see much beauty in dogs. Perhaps
the old saying, familiar to my child
hood, fits them: Handsome is that
handsome does" The st. Bernards GER
tainly seem to belong to a more cul-
tured. might almost say human type,
than does the average dog.
Only few weeks ago l was reading
IN one of our great religious weelSlies q
true story about st. Bernard, which
went to my heart as dog stories rarely
do. 1t seems that a gentleman living
in New York has recently brought
home with him from his trip abroad, a
great noble specimen of these dogs. He
is very valuable, and was carefully
watched lest Some evil and envious
wretch might entice him away One
evening it was discovered, that his dog
ship was not at home. He had gone
ont with his master early in the after
noon, but had not returned, though the
gentleman had. He shrted at once in
search of'the lost one, who was not sup
posed to have been long enough in the
city TO take care of himself. Getting
out of an uptown street car, the gen.
tleman met friend to whom he told
his trouble
"Well, sir, SAID the gentleman, '-yom
dog or some other is up near one of the
Central park gates, and is in trouble;
heard one making a very peculiar moan
ing noise as came past there a few
minutes ago" Both men walked swift
iy in that direction and praeoptI,, tba
distinct baying of a dog could be heard.
THAT is my dog" said his master, in
an excited tone, ''and he thinks some
one is lost That is the peculiar bay
which dogs of his breed give when a
traveller is lost on the mountains in the
snow. He has been used, in his own
country. to that work" By this time
the park gate was reached, and sure
enough, quite near it, lying fat on the
ground, was a lost mnn,-in. other
words a poor drunken wretch who
had ntumbled from the seat where
he had been browsing. Near
him, on guard, stood the faith
ful st. Bernard, giving at inter-
vals his peculiar signal of distress.
The writer said it would not be possible
to describe the joy with which the dog
welcomed his master who, he believed.
had come to the relief of the lost.
When n great wagon, which came AT
policeman's call, hustled the poor
drunfard to the lookup. the dog leaped
upon the shoulders of his master, and
almost put his delight into words. lie
believed that tho man had been saved.
