Ono of the curious features of some of the islands of the Pacific is the tree village. One of these villages, on Isabel Island, is built on the summit of a rocky mountain, rising almost perpcndicularly to the height of 500 feet.
 The trunks of tho trees, in the branches of which the natives have erected their houses, arc perfectly straight and their surfaces smooth, while the distance from the ground to the first branch varies from 50 to l5O feet.
 One of these novel abodcs Is at height of eighty feet above the ground, while tho home of neiEhborinS ona ts forty feet higher. Each house is reached by a ladder made of some creeping vine, which is sus- pended from one of the door posts, and can be drawn up when it is desired Each house is large enough 10 contain ten or twelve persons, together with ammunition for a long siege.
 Such lofty habitations are only occupied in time of war, at night or when danger is expected. At other times the moro con. venient and accessible huts on the ground are prefcrred.-New York World.

THE HUCKSTER8.
They VIII Not Paw Rents TIL
ROHn eehfnX Ia Done.

The hucksters in the market are up in
arms because of what they consider the
failure of the Board of Aldermen to keep
a promise made them when they went
into the market. Consequently, they
haye refused to pay their rents for this
month, and are going to appeal to the
Board at it's meeting Friday.
1t will be remembered that when the
market was opened last year and the
hucksters forced into the building, the
question of forcing all dealers in green
groceries, those who display their cab
bage, etc, on the sidewalk in front OF
their general merchandise stores) arose
and the Board promised the hucksters
who had been forced into the market
that an ordinance should be passed com
pelling all green groceries to be sold in
the market.
Such an ordinance was introduced
naming January I, 1898, as the day or
which the change should be made. The
day has come and gone and the move
has not been made.
T. L. Johnston. a huckster, told THE
CITIZEN this morning that he had gone
oyer City Clerk Young's books anC
could find no record of the final passag'
of the ordinan nee, and also that in con

AUGUSTA. Ca, Jan. 2, 1S93.-In three
States in ten hours is not so bad, and
made a good sized bend by way of Co
lumbia to boot. And the portion of
South Carolina seen from the train is
worth very little. Columbia is good
tow n, if Tillman was not temporarily
living there. and guess it will pass any
way, but one must leave the train to see
any oft except the penitentiary and
phosphate works, both of which are
said to be in bad order.
AS soon as you cross the line into
South Carolina the oaths are directed
towards Governor Tillman. The rail-
road men press the button, SO to speak,
and the old time Democrats do the rest.
One OF the old timers, the anti-Tillman
candidate for Secretary of State in the
late canvass, told me yesterday that
Tillman had already damaged the State
| twenty-five million dollars in her mater
| ia1 interests, and he thinks the Governor
will be hard to down next year. I'LL
mans aim, this gentleman Mr.. You
| mans) SAYS, is to have himself elected as
Senator Buffers successor next year.
Mr.. Youmans sars the contest of 1894
| will be a verita BILE political Armageddon,
and the fight will be for everything from
United States senator down to conSta-
BILE.
Tillman's cuss words (Which, by the
| way, he now denies using) when the
railroad men called on him to protest
against his signing the railroad commits
sion law, have put every man OF them
from the coal beavers to Bunch McBee
against him. and that is no small oppo
sition. And the dispensary liquor law
has put all the whisky men in the rank:
of the opposition. These two formidable
elements will make things very interest
ing for the one-eyed statesman next year

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-Typhus fever is
now Epidemic. Before 10 O'Clock this
morning the health officials had discov-
cred ten new cases, all on the east side of
the city, and in the most thickly popu-
lated districts.
Today's cases make total of Al vic
tins since December Z, when the plague
first broke out. There was one death
from the disease at North Brothers Is
land during the night-John Silsky. who
had been taken from 81 Bayard Street.
1t looks as though the disease had
made great headway with the health de-
partment. There was some delay in
taking rigid precautions against the
scourge, so far as the lodging houses are
concerned. and to this may be ttributed
the rapid advance which the disease has
been making.
All the lodging houses south of 18th
strickland there are 116 of them-were
visited last night by the health inspec-
tors. Every one of the lodgings were
examined. 1t is intended to prevent
overcrowding of these places, and to
compel the proprietors to place no more
| beds in a room than their licenses allow
The pest hole at 81 Brevard street
| where the first case was discovered. was
found to have 81 beds in excess of its
permit. The total number of dodgers in
all the lodging houses in the city Is
| $4,000.
| The Health Board meet today to take
additional steps against the spread o
the plague.
