Horace GreeIey's simplicity.

A writer in the American Stationer
tells this characteristic anecdote Of
Horace Greeley: His keen intellect
rugged honesty, intense patriotism and
pure unselfsh morality made him pow
erful and influential leader, qualities
which were joined to a nature SO simple
and confiding that the union seemed in
congruous and led many to believe it an
affectation. This was unjust An ex-
ample of this characteristic came under
my notice during the fall of 1872 at a
private dinner in which Mr.. Greeley
was also guest The talk turned upon
the issues of the campaign, and the
company sat charmed listeners TO his
mastery arguments in defense Of his
course. Presently the hostess passed
him a plate of pineapple WI ca, upon
perceiving what it was, he tGrIad to
her, remarking. parentheticaliy / can't
eat 'em, they rive me the collie and at
once proceedr,; With his argument all
unconscious OF the SIN H. his frank and
child-like avowal pr"v".:el 1t was
this side of his nature wh oh furnished
an inexhaustible resource for the para
grapher and cartoonist and through
which his kindly nature was deeply
wounded, for he was really not aware of
his own simplicity"

of Arkansas and Mississippi were cre-

extended to midstream, that of the lat

Guilty. A dissipated ireshet turned the
current against the Mississippi bank
and shifted the former place of mid

that the fortunate or unfortunate owner
found his possessions lying beyond both
the midriver point of Arkansas and the
midchannel line Of NJ ssissippi. Why
is not this an Eldorado for prize-fght +

CALIFORNIA; BIG TREES.
The Effect of the Magnificent Monster,

on the Beholder.
The sequoias dominate among spleen
did rivals only by magnitude that has
no comparison in the world. L think
no one can anticipate the effect that
one of these monarchs will have upon
him. He has read that a coach ~and six
can drive through one of the trees that
is standing: that another is thirty
three feet in diameter, and that its vast
stem. $50 feet high, is crowned with a
mass of foliage that seems to brush
against the sky. He might be prepared
for a tower one hundred feet in circum-
ference. and even four hundred feet high.
standing upon level plain. But this
living growth is quite another affair.
Each tree is an individual, and has a
personal character. No man can
stand in the presence of one of
these giants without q new sense of the
age of the world and the insignificant
span of one human life; but he is also
overpowered BY a sense of gigantic per-
sonality. II does not relieve him to
think of this as the Methuselah of trees,
o. to call it by the name of some great
poet or captain. The awe the tree in
spires is of itself As one lies and looks
up at the enormous bulk. it seems not
SO much the bulk, SO lightly is it car
ried, as the spirit of the tree. the elias
tic vigor, the patience, the endurance of
storm and change, the confident might,
and the soaring almost contemptuous
pride, that overwhelm the puny specta-
tor. 1t is just because man can meas
ure himself, his littleness, his brevity
of existence, with this growth out
of the earth, that he is more per-
sonally impressed by it than he
might be by the mere va
ration in the contour of the globe
which is called mountain. The imag
ination makes a plausible effort TO COM
prehend it, and is foiled. No, clearly it
is not mere size that impresses one; it
is the dignity, the character in the tree,
the authority and power of antiquity.
Side by side of these venerable forms
are young sequoias. great trees them
selves that have only just begun their
millennial career-trees that will, if
spared, perpetuate to remote ages this
race of giants, and in two to four thous-
and years from now take the place of
their great grandfathers, who are sink
ing under the weight of years, and one
by one measuring their length on the
earth.-Charles Dudley Warner, in Har-
per's Magazine.

FRUIT-EATING ANIMALS.



cate PaIates.
Comment has lately been made about
| mice eating oranges, of horses also and
dogs eating the same. 1t is not general
ly known to what extent animals are
fruit eaters.
The fig is the favorite fruit among
!, animals. and horses. cows, hogs, sheep
and goats Will eat this fruit readily
as man. The elephant considers it a
dainty, while all the fowls greedily
devour figs The apple ranks high in
favor, and horses, COWS, sheep, goats,
hogs and many of the wild animals eat
apples with avidity. The elephant and
deer are fond of them. while others be-
come accustomed To them after trial
or two. All the domestic fowls and
many of the wild birds are fond of
apples.
The cherry is delicacy much sought
after by the whole feathered tribe. The
ostrich will consume half dozen kinds
of fruit.
Peaches are not a favorite except
with a few animals, though rabbits
fancy them. 1t is well known that rab-
bits, rats and squirrels all eat apples
The Eskimo dogs will eat almost
any of the dried fruits. The sour or
acid fruits. as the orange. lemon, lime,
shaddock, etc, as well as the sour
plums and the bitter olives are rarely
eaten. Nothing. we think. is SO bitter
as an olive freshly pickeled, yet after
they turn purple or black hogs soon
learn to devour them.
The sweet and luscious grapes are
eaten with great relish by horses, cows
and sheep. Deer are fond of grapes,
and often do much damage in California

The CnUCIfIxION NAILS.
They Are Said to BE Part Of a Very Ancient
Lombard Crown.

One of the most curious relics pre-
served in the Ashmolean Museum, at
Oxford, England. is a crown having a
framework said to have been made OF
the nails that were driven through the
hands and feet of Jesus at Calvary.
The crown itself is embossed with
Jewels and gold, exhibiting close re-
semblance to the enamelled work Of the
present day, notwithstanding the fact
that its history can be traced back to
the time of the coronation OF Agilufus,
King of Normandy in the year sol. As
noted in the foregoing, the portion OF
the crown which is of greatest tradi-
tional interest is the framework OF iron,
about q of an inch broad and lilo of an
inch in thickness, attached to the inner
circumference of the jeweled super
structure. This iron band was made
from the identical nails according to
Legendary report, used at the Cruclfix-
ion; given by the Empress Helena
who history says, was the discOverer of
the cross-to her son, Constantine the
Great as a miraculous protection from
the dangers OF the battlefield
The priest who exh bits the crown to
curious visitors points out, as perman-
ent miracle, the fact that there is not a
single speck of rust upon the iron, al
though it has now been exposed to the
dampness of the atmosphere for more
than fifteen centuries The crown was
originally made for Agilulfus, King of
the Lombards, under the supervision
of Thendelnde his wife, who had
fallen heir TO the sacred nails-St
