BURNS LOVE STORY.
So mething About the Highland Mary
He Sang Into Immortality.

So netting About the Highland Mary
He Sang Into Immortality.
The supreme love passage in the life
OF Burns is related in his songs of Mary
Campbell, whose memory has been
consecrated by untold thousands Of
lovers, whose spirit fills their world,
glorifies their dreams, dr. avs them like
saint, who look up as to saint at
the mention of the name Highland
Mary She was the daughter of
shipmaster, and Burns saw her first
one Sunday at the kirk of Tarboltou,
and instantly his heart of
finder glowed with consuming fire.
She was, as Sir George Douglas
says. the most spiritual of all his
loves, and how different might have
been his fortune had he met her
earlier and made her his own. She
was type of Highland beauty, and
female beauty always appealed to
Burns with irresistible force. So it
does to every genuine man. No
genuine man ever breathed who was
not touched at the sight of beauti-
full woman, for hers is the divinest Of
all forms of beauty. The genuine
man may, under the stress of years,
care naught for wealth, for praise of
his triumphs, for influence or COM
mand, but SO long as the years spare
him his heart will respond to the
beauty Of woman.
Burns susceptibility to it is discov.
cred in almost every line of his poetry.
He was thrilled at this first presence
of Mary, SO modest, SO attentive to
the service, so forgetful of herself
amid the worshipers. Her figure was
graceful, her textures delicate, her
complexion fair. She had large. lus-
trous, dark blue eyes. and hair of
reddish tint. Her knowledge of Eng
fish was imperfect, and one can fancy
that her lips, accustomed to the Gaelic,
might soften and garble the more gut
teral language with a bewitching ef-

A Professional Ghost-Hunter.

In the dark ages professors of exor-
cism were important and highly re-
spected persons in the community, but
somehow or other they fell into disre-
pute and were finally abolished as i'm
posters. It is satisfactory to find,
however, that at the present time,
when SO many people complain that
they can find nothing to do, this time
honored profession has been revived
and at least one gentleman finds it
sufficiently profitable to pay for the
printing of circulars commendatory of
his business. 1t is addressed to land
lords, house agents and those whom it
may concern" and states that the ex-
orcist twill be pleased to investigate
and report upon any reputed haunted
house, ascertaining the cause of and
putting stop to all seemingly unac-
co,lntable shrieks, cries. groans and
spirit-rappings at the shortest notice."
AhiS is hard on ghosts.

A'rERRlHLE JOURNEY.
Blondin's Fearful Struggle With . Lun-
attic on . High Ropo.

Blondin's Fearful Struggle With . Lun-
attic on . High Rope.
Blondin, the renowned rope walker,
usually carried man upon his baSe
when walking the tight-rope. Formff-
ly he WIS wont to bargain with. some
one to accompany him on this danger
Gus journey. On the occasion of per-
Torrance in Chicago a man offered his
service gratis. Blondin accepted them
and assembled the rope with his living
burden. When the pair had reached
the middle Of the rope the man began
to laugh heartily.
What is it that amuses you?" the
rope-dancer asked with establishment.
ooh. comic idea has struck me. I
was thinking what sort Of a ce you
would pull if. during the NJ It halt
minute both Of us were to fall down
upon the audience"
But we shall not fall," replied
Blondin, reassuringly.
"But have determined upon this
occasion to take my life.'
At the same moment the man began
to wriggle about so that the rope
dancer nearly lost his balance. He,
however, soon composed himself,
dropped his balancing pole and
grabbed the man SO firmly with his
hands that the latter was unable to
move. Then, continuing his walk. al
though in state Of great trepidation,
he arrived safely at the end of the
rope, and, allowing his living burden
to slide from his shoulders, he admin
istered a box on both ears with such
force that the would-be suicide fell
down unconscious. Since that terrible
journey Blondin has carried only one
man, his true and faithful servant, on
every occasion.

Suicides in Paris.

An official record states that the
number of persons who committed
suicide in Paris during last year was
$50, and of these suicides 243 were by
hanging, 2o5 by drowning i94 by as
phyxiation, 1873 by shooting, G5 by
jumping from window or monument,
SO by poisoning. "a by stabbing, by
being run over by trains, and 10 by
other methods. Five out of every six
suicides by hanging were committed
by men, and 100 of 1873 cases in which
q gun or revolver was the weapon
used; while in a majority of the sui
cides by drowning and by jumping
from window the victim was a
woman.

Robbers in China.

In many districts of Northern China
organized robbery is the regular win
ter emp oyment of SO large proper
ton of the people that travellers are
forced to avoid these regions, it is
said. Robbers prey upon the people
of the country as vel as upon travel
ers. In many places families are OBJ
liged to have one member sit up all
night with a light to discourage the
thieves from attack, but the robbers
are so we'll organized that in many in
suanaes they beset and overpower the
watchers.

Even tho Devil Was Welcome.

Professor G. b. Wilder, of Cornell
university, recently gave some inter-
esting recollections of Louis Agassiz
IN letter before the Cornell Natural
History society. Agassizs liberation
and the view that the museum at Har-
ward, of which he had charge, was
held by him in trust for science, were
illustrated by the following inc id emit:
A former student who had afterward
denounced him, wrote asking permis-
sion to examine some specimens.
When Dr. Wilder expressed 4 doubt as
to whether it would be agreeable to
have him come, Agassiz replied with
some warmth: "He shall come. If
the devil himself wished to examine
specimens in this museum, he should
be welcome"

What He Ought to Learn.

A young man recently bought a cor.

to him met his little brother.

playing?"
"He amt gittin' long at ALL"

Swift Justice.

Justice is occasionally swift in Mex
leo. An American, while seated in
the Plaza Mayor, in the city of Next
co, missed a field glass. 1t had been
taken from his pocket by a clever
rogue. He had not recovered from
his amazement when three policemen
approached having in custody the
thief, the glass still in his possession
The American was required to go at
once with the officers to the court.
Here the prisoner was promptly tried,
and in fifteen minutes from the time
OF entering the court house, he had
been sentenced to serve u term of five
years in the Mexican army.

THE WIND DIGS POTATOES,

Thirty-Acre Patch of Murphies Rip
ped Up at One Fell Swoop.
Charles H. Ruddock of Chicago, New
Orleans, Memphis and Carina, CAL,
came in to chat the other day, and
told one story that will bear printing.
Our exchange editor had just re-
marked that he wished to heaven he
could shake this part Of the world and
land in Southern California, where a
man could Give happy until he died
rich"
why" said Ruddock, "the wind
digs potatoes in Southern California;"
"Humpty Dumpty! What?" the ex-
change man remarked, disappointment
shadowing his face.
Honestly" continued Ruddock.
zone man had thirty acres of pota-
toes, and there came gale that uncov-
cred every potato, and all he had to
40 next day was to go out and pick
them up"
And then, as if he wanted to get
away from the subject. the Chicagoan-
Tennesseean Louisianian Californian
went on to talk about his first love,
cypress.

She Wanted AL Particulars.

The Maine steamboat engineer was
polite and attentive. It may be that
he was fattered by the fact that lady
SO impressive in her manner shou d
have come to him for information.
At any rate, he told her all about it,
just where the steam went into the
cylinder, where it escaped, and how it
was that the piston rod attached to the
crank turned the wheels that propelled
the little vessel through the waves.
She appeared to be all wrapped up in
the information, and when he had fin
ished she turned beaming face upon
him and said: "Now, what is the OBJ.
ject of the boiler?"

AGE OF ORANGE TREES.
Groves OF the Delicious Fruit Trees Can
Ee Found in Italy.

Groves OF tho Delicious Fruit Trees Can
Ne Found in Italy.
An exchange remarks that there has
been much discussion among American
horticulturists the last few years con-
corning the extreme age that orange
trees will bear we'll and produce good
fruit. Some maintain that an orange
tree, no matter how much care is put
upon twill slowly wither and die after
it has reached half century of growth.
Others have argued that about seven
ty-five years is the limit of usefulness
of well-cared-for orange tree.
Several American horticult urists who
have been travelling along the Med.
iterranean sea have recently found
trees over 120 years old that are still
producing fruit of excellent quality.
On the island of Elba, where Napoleon
was banished, there is an orange grove
of over 700 St. Michael orange trees
that were planted by an Italian in
1851, and it produced last year over
1880 boxes of fruit, but it produced
four times that quantity twenty. five
years ago. There are several small
orange orchards in Southern Italy that
are over eighty years old and are still
produ tive o! large quantities CT fruit.
On Tie i>,and OF Malta, James Pcll-
man, the famous American horticul-
turist, found one orange tree that there
can be no doubt is 1A2 years old, and
that yielded several boxes of fruit last
year. 1t is even alleged that in the
Azores there are orange and lemon
trees over 200 years old that still bear
fruit, but there is no good authority
