A Mountain Ash Which Sprang to
Life in a Curious Place.

Life in Curious Place.
The front wall of the First Universal
ist Church i'll Utica is constructed of
sandstone and Trenton limestone, and
was built about forty years ago. AT the
two angles of the facade there are two
Norman turrets forty-tive feet high, sar-
mounted with the usual notched battle
ments. Just below these are plain, fiat
cornices, projecting from the main walls
about twenty inches, and not over
eighteen inches in thickness. On the
fiat top of one of these lodges, and from
a joint in the masonry not more than
three-fourths of an inch wide, there has
been growing for nearly thirty years a
mountain ASH or Scotch rowan tree"
which, says the Country Gentleman, is
now sixteen feet high and about seven or
eight feet across the expansion Of the
branches. OF which there are so many
and so dense that they make the tree
appear bush-like. Tha ash is perfectly
healthy, and for several years past has
borne crops of scarlet berries.
AS already stated, the joint on the ledge
| from which the tree grows is not more
than three-quarterS of an inch wide. The
hole of the main stem. just Immediately
above the service, is five Inches in diam
eter. There is no accumulation OF mat
ter on the ledge to form coil or to retain
any moisture. OF course the tree is not
as large rs one OF the same age would be
growing the same length OF time in good
soil on the ground; but the wonder is
how does the plant, growing out OF that
dry mOrtared chink, ever sustain life,
especially during the summer tervors up
there as it is on ledge forty feet above
the street, and not on a crumbling ruin,
but on Il dry, solid stone cornice, at
tached to a close -jointed dimension stone,
well-built tower wall? Then, too, the
question may be asked of the scientific:
"How do the radicles of that plant find
the soluble potash and phosphoric acid
so indispensable to its very existence?
And whence does it get the mineral ele-
ments which enter into the composition
of all arboreal growth ?"
Is there not here also evidence that our
plant takes in its absolutely necessary
nitrogen in the same manner as it does its
carbon, that is, through its foliage and
from the air only? For there can be but
little ii any decomposed mortar in the
chinkS below the plant on that projecting
cornice of not more than eighteen inches
in thickness, into the small interstices be-
ween the stones OF which the superficial
roots Of our plant can penetrate. We are
taught that in such dry pabulum, de-
void of vegetable matter, there can be no
bacterial nitrification. At any rate on
mere ledge of masonry at that altitude is
growing a healthy exotic tree, rich in
foliage and fruit, detying zero weather in
winter, tropical heats in summer, and
never dropping during the most distress
ing droughts.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad-
vantage to the tgrower of being in early locality
In most cases it makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardist of Capay Valley
may assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that 20
of this rich land when the trees are in bearing will
yield handsome and assured income.
The Capay Valley Land Company has agent re-
siding the valley whose duty to show the various
tracts to land seekers.
-Four townstes have been laid out in different points
in the valley, viz: Esparto Cadenasso, Gunda and
Rumsey Town lots may now be purchased at reason
able prices and on easy terms
The enterprising and fourishng town of Esparto is
situated at the lower end of the valley and SIPS 900
worth of substantial buildings have already been erected
including fine our-story brick hotel, large brick
blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the streets
besides extensive warehouses and residences
The town has postoffce. school-house and weekly
paper and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph
and express offices.
Postofices have also been established at Gunda and
Rumsey This latter place, situated at the head of the
valley is the present terminus of the railroad The
Portable little hotel makes excellent quarters for hunters
as well as land-seekers
The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay VAL
ley may be thus Concisely summed up:
soil of great fertility yielding bountifully of every
crop.
soil and climate which will rpen all kinds of fruit and
vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State.
climate perfectly adapted to the curing Of raisins and
drying of frn without the aid of artificial evaporators
Alocaton that is central and close to markets Railroad
communication which enables shipments to be made
quickly and cheaply Lands which sold cheaper and
| on better terms than anywhere else in the State.

the better it will be for conscience and

hard tussle Of It from start 10 finish. and
within the past few days have come to
the conclusion that they will take one OF
the games away from Yale. The second
same will be played on Norday at Char
lottesviue
The contest tomorrow afternoon will
begin at 1880 o'clock, and Will be attended
by a fashionable crowd. The young ladies
who champion the Varsity men and the
contingent of men who admire the pluck
Of Yale will lie present. The debutante
viii be II ere. and bevies of them will sit
on the front row of the grand-stand and
good natu' edly cast reflections upon the
appearance Of the men from New Haven.
The bellies of the Tuesday or Richmond
german will occupy seats in the grand
stand and applaud the plays of the Nir-
ginias or deplore the base-hits of the Yale
men. The average citizen Will go and
make things lively on the bleacheres. and
the Varsity man will hang 10 the side
fences and wave his hat. cane and colors
at the man on third. or the runner on
first. Orange and black and the blue Of
Yale will be intermingled, and men Will
constantly dive in their pockets TO back
their assertions. The grand-stand will
reverberate with yells, and

Tho grounds at Island Park have been
put in excellent condition, the pitchers

THE FIRST STREET LINE.
Protest Against It From The yestry OF st.
Marks Church.

Mr.. Editor:
There appeared in your editorial col
umns a few days ago an article favonng
the granting OF a right of way 10 the
Richmond Union Passenger railroad along
First street.
It is known that the strongest opposi-
ton to this route has been made by the
vestry of ST. Mark Protestant Episcopal
church, located at FIRST and Clay streets.
!nasmuch as the public may not know
the reasons for this opposition made 10y
the church / desire as a member Of the
Vestry to explain those reasons in order
to set the church in the right light be
fore the public. We are already suffer
ing from the line along our front, on
clay street, and if this right OF way
along First street is granted by our
Council II gives us another line Of cars
along our side. At present we have TO
keep the front windows down in warm
weather. and in the event of the new line
being laid our side windows must Doe kept
closed also. can a congregation exist in
a church shut up tight in hot weather
SO far we have only discussed the car
noises proper, ringing OF bells, rumbhng
and rafting of the cars, but the most
serious trouble and annoyance will be
caused by the transfer of passengers
none of the compromises rendered get
rid of the transfer at this point. This
evil will still exist, and Will grow as time
goes on. Some Of the evils OF transfers
are the waiting, impatient crowd; loud
talking at times quarres and complaints.
probably rough and occasionally obscene
language under our windows and in our
very doors.
There is no church I'm the city so I'M
fortunate as to have an electric line at the
front and an electric line al the side.
ST. Marks situation Will be far worse
than that of the SeVenth-street Christian
church. whose pastor and members say
they would sell out and 80 elsewhere, If
they were able. in order 10 get rid of the
noise along Seventh street. II they find
their condition almost intOlerable, what
would our condition be at St. Marks
The church would be hemmed i'm in the
angle Of railroads, and on funeral Occa-
sOns the interruption 10 carriages would
be serious. Again, personally. not speak
ing Tor the church, 1 see many objections
10 the route on account O. Leigh-sircet
school. hundreds Of small children would
find their studies interrupted by the car
noises and their lives endangered by the
cars. There are other routes equally as
good for this proposed railroad. Are the
church interests. the public schools
wishes, TO suffer on First street because
a car company objects 90 curve?
The members of 81. Mark s. church feel
that if q right of way is granted this com
pany along this route an evil Will enter
in which in the end VIII render our build
ing useless as q church. So certain are
we of this that il a reasonable price We're
offered for the property We would for
sake il and find another location.
We pray the Council and the public 10
protect us as a congregation from cleo
trOCutiOn.

fall OF a government as soon as they APP
pear OH the political horizon.
II is gratifying TO know that the present
fall Is understood TO have some defined
cause and that that cause Is matter
OF 80 much moment as difference or
opinion upon the important question OF
whether proposition TO tax liquor should
start In one end Of room or In the other
end OF It, To Frenchman's mind the tax
on liquor that he does not happen TO
drink is a very small matter; but IL Is one
OF great consequence whether the Min
lister who recommends the tax wears
pumps and small clothes OF the ancient
regime" when bringing in his plan, or
dresses as an ordinary Partisan pedes-
trian only. We suppose we shall now
have season OF excited chattering and
brandishing OF arms for day or two that
will terrify peaceable spectators into an
apprehension OF immediate bloodshed,
when all hands will burst out into hearty
laughter, France will get another ministry
to last two weeks, and all Paris will fall
to grinring and making "Calembours'
again.
If France. as a nation. were TO happen
to get serious once that standing quarrel
Of hers with Germany might possibly be
arranged.
