2 NEW HAVEN CONN., WEDNESDAY MoRNING OCTOBER 2 1891

Washington was at the age of twelve thought to be the finest penman in the United States. He was one of five
 brothers, and his father was the author
 of the Spencerian system. When but %
 years old he became superintendent of the
 penmanehip department of the business
 college of the United States, and it was
 through his efforts that number of insti-
 tutions were founded. His eldest brother
 is Professor Robert 0. Spencer, president
 of the Milwaukee Spencerian business col
 lege, and Mrs. Sarah S. Sloane of Chicago
 is sister.
 Some German scientists have recently
 furnished information in regard to the ages of trees. They assign to the pine tree 800 and 700 years as the maximum, 425 years to the silver fir, 275 years to the larch, 245 years to the red beech, 210 to the aspen, 200 to the birch, TO to the ash and 145 to the alder and 130 to the elm. The heart of the oak begins to rot at about the age of 300 years. The holly oak alone escapes this law, 1t is said; and there is in existence near Aschenburg, in Germany, tree of this kind which has attained the age of 40 years.
 Young ladies, don't scorn honest poverty. A few years ago poor German named Richard Hornig settled near Austell, Georgia. He received scant courtesy from the girls in the neighbor- hood, but there was one poor girl, Miss O'Shields, who was always kind and atten- tive to the stranger, and their friendship soon ripened into love, but ss both were very poor matrimony was not thought of. Like Hornig Miss O'Shields had to work in the cotton fields. She was uneducated, but quite pretty, and had a quick, bright mind. A few months since letter from Germany arrived for Hornig, which an nounced to him the death of his father and that he was sole heir to 5000, ,000 marks, nearly s75O, ,0OO. MT. Hornig visited Ger many, had no trouble getting his fortune, and returned to Austell last week rich man. The change in his condition made a marked change also in the reception &C., corded him. But his heart was still true to the little maiden who had been his friend when he was poor stranger in a strange land, so he made her his wife.

How General Jackson's Head Was
 Stolen.
 From Margaret Bisland, in st. Nicholas for Oc-
 tober.l
 In recognition of valuable services, and also as an honor offered the warlike presi- dent, patriotic and grateful Boston placed on the bow of the frigate "Constitution" @ marvelously we'll carved ife-size figure of General Jackson. The most skillful car yer of these wooden statues was employed, and gave the figure a vigor of pose and likeness to the original seldom found in such work.
 A long, full cloak fell from the should CTS, one hand was thrust into the breast of of the coat, and the other grasped scroll; while the head was held proudly, and one foot slightly advanced gave the general an energetic and commanding posture, when with beftting ceremonies they firmly fas- tened the figurehead to the bow of the brave ship.
 The making and placing of this figure head was entirely the doing of the presi- dents political supporters and friends, and lAOSo oPPSoSo bo hAO PlCoAocALl6A pOuC1 warmly resented the action. Enemies of Jackson insisted on the fgure's removal, but the old frigate calmly bobbed up and down in the blue bay, the figure of "0ld Hicko- "" gazed sternly seawood, and for time nothing at all .was done by those who wished the figure removed.
 It was in Boston bay that the mysterious unloading of the tea ship had taken place many years before; and early one July morning the old town, the Constitution's crew and her officers discovered to their consternation that second curious and secret attack had been made over night. General Jackon's wooden head had been sawed of along the upper lip and was not to be foundl No specter, but human hand had yielded the saw that accomplish ed the wicked work, and half-headless figure faced the sea from its place on the Constitutions bow.
 The ships company, as we'll as officers of the law and reporters of indignant news papers, went searching and advertising for the clever scamp, who, evading the ships guards, had under the cover of darkness committed the peculiar crime A long and careful investigation did not bring the crim- inals to justice, though Comodore Elliott offered one thousand dollars reward for any information concerning the act A year later the Constitution came down to New York Bay, and second head made for the purpose, was quietly bolted on in

The Jericho, Jaffa & Jerusalem railroad through the Holy Land is progressing very slowly. The Turks are very inefi- cient contractors. They perform the cas- fer parts of the work first, and then rain storm comes along and washes it all away, and it becomes necessary to begin anew.
 Governor Boies squarely faces the pro hibitory liquor law in his canvass through Iowa. He says that the law has been fully and fairly tried, and that it must be pro- nounced ineffective. Its application is not felt at all in many places, and the efforts to enforce it anywhere are farcical. He believes that the people are tired of the burlesque business.

DESERVED HER LIBERTY.
A Plucky Teacher Released From
Calling Bonds.

Rachel Zahonyi, primary principal

absolute divorce IRON julius Zahonyi
by Judge Kerr. She was Also given the
custody of her nine-year- old boy, Louis,
and the absolute control of her real
state, free of any claim by her husband
by way of courtesy or otherwise. The
case was tried yesterday. They were
married August "a. 1850; She Is thirty
three and he fortt-threc' years old.
The charge was habitual drunkenness
and cruel and inhuman treatment. 1t
was also claimed. shat for more than
a year last past the husband has been i'll
the habit of drinking Intoxicating liquor
to excess on an average f,three times
week; has gone home drunk and dazed
and craZed with liquor, and so drunk as
to have no respect for himself or family"
The money the wife earned in teaching
school has been squandered by him in
drink and other dissipation. ie went
home on one occasion and struck Mrs.
Zahonyi with his fist, knocking her
down, cutting her lips. Her general
health, it was asserted. had been i'm
paired by frequent abuse. The court
was of opinion that sufficient allegations
were proved to warranta separation, and
made an order in accordance with that
view. 3

kensen kept a saloon i'll small one

he had gasoline stove upon
which ne cooked some of his meals. AS
usual lie went to bed about ) o'clock
Yesterday afternoon, and left the bar in
charge of his bartender. At $50 clock
the bartender was startled by the loud
report of an explosion, and moment
iater n sheet of flame burst through the
door between the bar and Hokensen's
bedroom. The Mortified man ran to the
street. and turned in fire alarm, never
stopping to think that his employer was
in the midst of the flames. Ten minutes
later Sergeant Dowian, of the Margaret
street station. craWled on his hands and
knees inso the burning room and found
liokenson lying face downward upon
Tie floor-burned TO crisp. The fire

smoke cleared away hundreds of curious
people crowded into the little back
room to view the awfully disfgured
body which lay upon the floor about two
<eet from the oyerturned gasoline stove.
Al the other end of the room, just be-
meath the window. the charred remains
vi iIolensen's dog were found. The
body of the man was removed to Nc
Carthy X -Donnelly's mOrgue in the
Margaret street patrol wagon.
OF course, no one knows positively
Just how the explosion happened. The
theory which is generally credited.
however, is that Hokensen got out of
bed. lighted the stove to heat water,
and filen went to sleep again, and that
the dog upset the stove and caused the
explosion. Deputy Coroner Amoss, who
has the case in charge, thinks an in
quest unnecessary. Hokensen was a
single man. thirty-five years Of age, and
has no relatives in st. Paul. His eS-
tate is valued at about $4,000.
