II AR IMMENSE TREE.
One of the Wonders of tho Tuolumne
 Grove In California.

One of the Wonders or tho Tuolumne
 Grove in California.
 Frank Leslic's Illustrated Newspaper gives an illustration of one of the won- ders of the Tuolumne Big-Tree in Cali fcrnia. This is the stump of one of the largest WcE.actonians in the grove, with a tunnel through which the road passes and vehicles are driven. The standing stump, the trunl, having been severed about 90 feet from the ground, measures 60 feet inches in diameter; but the diameter of the trunk with its bark, which is now removed, is said to have been over 40 feet. The tunnel through the tree measures 12 feet in height by l0i1 feet wide at the base and feet at the top. Tuolumne grove con taifls about thirty big specimens of the giant Wcllingtonians, but there are trecs now growing which, if the world should not come to an end as predicted by Prof. TottGp, will, in the course of time, attain dimensions which will be surprising to coming generations.
 The Calaveras grove also has num- bcr of these giant Wellingtonians. In that grove one tree measured 430 feet in length by 1l0 feet in circumference at the base, and the first branch was 21O feet from the ground. Another measured S27 feet in height. Still an- other measures $50 feet in length, and has circumference of 97 feet. One

an English magazine, speaking on this subject, undertakes to give some trust worthy data, as follows: "A tree felled in 1875 had no appearances of age. It was 60 feet in girth inside the bark, and the number of annual rings counted by three persons varied between 2,1a5 and e,lS9, Another was l07 feet in girth in side the bark at four feet from the ground. This wood was very compact, and showed through aconSilcrable part of the trunk thirty annual rings to the inch, This, if the rings were of uniform diameter in the rest of tho trunk, would give the Incredible age, of 6,4ao years, isut as tbe interior rings of such trees are much broader than the outer, half that number to the inch is more con- ceivable estimate and would give an age of $500 years"

Fattening Girls for Marriage.

It seems that the Tunisians have a rather unpleasant custom of 'fatten- ing up" their girls for marriage. A girl after she is betrothed is cooped up in a small room. Shackles of silver or gold are put upon her ankles and wrists as a piece of dress. If she is to be married to man who has dis charged or lost his former wife, the shackles which the former wife wore are put upon the new brides limbs, and she is fed until they are filed up to the proper thickness. This is sometimes no easy matter.

 Much speculation has been indulged in as to the age of these giant trees. At- tempts have been made to solve the question by reference to the immense number of rings that can be counted on the prostrate trunks. One writer tells of a tree on which he counted 2,000 rings. Another writer tells of tree in Mariposa Grove with G, 1000 rings. If each of these rings represents years growth, then the tree certainly has at- tained an enormous age. A writer in

 Caucasian Curlositics.
 Caucasia constitutes veritable mine of archaeological curiosities, but most of the treasures become the property of foreigners, who transport them to their respective countries. The natives, knowing the liberality of foreign tour ists, willingly show them the places where curiosities can be found and help them dig out the treasures. According to the New York Sun, an American named William Johnson recently pro cured in Nladikavkaz collection of fourteen hundred and twenty-five ar chRological curiosities among which are ornaments, weapons, tools and pot tery of the bronze, iron and granite ages, and human skulls of prehistoric | ages. The government officers of Ba- koo recently stopped the exportation of several boxes filled with such treas ures. The Russian press now advocates that special measures be enacted against the removal of such treasures by foreigners.

An Improbnhle Yarn.

"In early days" remarked Mr.. Ber-
nard, the other day, IAN old fellow
named Bennett came to Butte county
from Kentucky, and when was boy
! often heard him tell with all earnest
ness a story that he believed to be true.
He said that when young man he
lived in Virginia, and as stores were
scarce it was customary for farmers to
cut scythe handles from the woods.
They would select a very crooked
sapling and trim it up to suit their pur-
pose. BY some misfortune he broke a
scythe handle and went in search of
new one. At last he found a little,
weakly tree that was crooked and in
few minutes had cut it down and
trimmed it up. When trimmed it was
so crooked that it refused to lie still,
and began to roll end over end. Ben
nett tried to stop it, but it eluded him
and passed out of sight. Twenty years
later he emigrated to Kentucky, and
while out in the woods one day he heard
a peculiar noise in the underbrush near
him. Going in the direction from which
it came he discovered the scythe handle,
worn down to one-fourth its original
size, still rolling. 1t had crossed the
Allegheny Mountains and was on its
way towards the Mississippi river. The
old man protested till the day of his
death that the story was absolutely
true, and would grow angry if any or .
doubted t."-San Francisco Call.

motive presided over by a strong,
manly, handsome engineer, whose great
objects of pride and alteration were first
his sweetheart and then his faithful en-
gine. He loved them both devotedly,
though, of course, in quite different
ways. One day at Hamilton he stood
in the cab of the engine, bell-rope in
hand, ready to move the lever and start
the train, when he saw bridal party
approaching. He glanced at the bride;
it was the girl he loved. His heart
stopped beating, he gave groan and
dropped-dead. As he fell with the
bell-rope in his hand he gave the bell a
loud ring that cracked it from top to
bottom, and it was found afterward
that he had died literally from a
broken heart. The bell in the shop at
Hamilton is still called the bell of the
broken heart. t."-St. Louis Republic.

Belle Billions Husband Gets Title
Through the Death of His Father.
LONDON, May 30.-The right honora-
BILE, the Earl of Clancarty, whose title,
although an Irish one, gives him a
place among the peers of the United
Kingdom, died Friday at the age of
81. The deceased nobleman recently
achieved great deal of notoriety
by reason of his attempt to break
the marriage of his son, Viscount
Dunlo, with the quondam music-hall
singer, Belle Billion, by inducing his
son to bring an action for divorce
against her. Lady Dunlo, who now
succeeds to the title of Countess of
Clancarty, was recently a member of a
burlesque company playing Venus, "
in which she appeared in the title role.
The attitude of the family toward
the actress continues hostile. Viscount
Dunlo says that the late earl desired to
be buried in England and that he will
not kS buried in the family vault at
Garba!,y, Ballinasloe, Ireland, unless
the will gives special instructions to
the effect The retirement OF Lady

ANGRY SEALERS.

Opposition to England's Proposed Beh-
ring Sea Measure-Flshermen in British
Columbia Threaten to Evade Any Law.
LONDON, May 30.-The bill prohibit
ing the capture of seals in Behring sea
by British subjects, which has just
been introduced by the government,
has aroused a decided opposition and
the government may have diff
ficulty in enforcing it's provisions,
even if it succeeds in passing the bill
A dispatch from Victoria, B. c., says
that the proposed action of the govern
ment has caused great excitement there,
and that sealers openly propose
to evade any law that may be
passed on the subject. The feeling
in London and Liverpool among
merchants interested in the seal
fisheries outside of the American COM
pany, is very strong against the pro-
posed measure, and the government is
freely denounced for cowardly sur
render to the United States.
WASHINGTON, May 3O.-The only in-
terest that the action of Lord Salisbury
in introducing his seal bill in parlia-
ment excites here is that it seems to be
step in the direction of a final ending
OF tiresome controversy. 1t
seems to indicate that pend
ing arbitration of the whole
question Great Britain is willing to
stop the seal taking altogether, pro-
viding the United States will cooperate
to that end The authority which
Lord Salisbury seeks from parliament
will come too late to be effective
this year, but by next year the
sealing industry will wholly cease
until America and Great Britain have
settled every question between them.
The new arrangement involves the
United States in heavy losses and liza
bilities, but the administration con-
siders the country well repaid by the
assurance that the seals will be per-
manently saved aud a dangerous con-
troversy about rights in the high seas
