Washington. Sept. 7-(SpeciaD.-In con-
sentence of the stringent quarantine regu-
Iatjons at Savannah and Charleston the
troops at Key West will be sent to At
Ianta via New York.
Al the war department to-day Col. Bird,
assistant quartermaster general, stated
tbat as soon as yellow fever was discover
ed at Key West prompt measures were
taken TO remove the troops stationed at
mat point beyond the limits of the infect
ed district The Key West garrison was
ordered to proceed to Fort Mcpherson,
Atlanta, and remain there until further
orders.
In making arrangements for the trans
portaton of the troops from Key West
it was ascertained that the quarantine
regulations of Georgia and South Carolina
prevented either the railroads or the
steamship companies from delivering the
troops in Atlanta unless they were sub
iected 10 FIVE days detention in quaran-
tine Such delay was not only regarded
as a hardship to the soldiers, but also
q great Inconvenience.
Finally arrangements were made with
the Mallory line of steamers to transport
the soldiers from Key West to New York
Upon reaching New York, they will be
conveyed 10 Atlanta by rail.
Col Bird says he cannot blame the state
authorities for being so strict in the en-
forcement of the regulations. to protect
themselves against the dreaded yellow fe-
Yer. Although in this instance the govern
ment is required to resort 10 a somewhat
roundabout route to transfer the troops
from Key West TO Atlanta.
The details of the arrangement with the
Mallory line were completed this morning
and later in the day Col. Bird telegraphed
the troops at Key West to sail at once for
New York. They are expected to arrive at
the latter point by Sunday, and proceed
at once to Atlanta by rail.
Col. Bird says he does not anticipate
any interference by the state authorities
to prevent the Key West troops from pass
ing through the state on their way to At

simla, Sept 7.-At to-day's session of
the India Council Mr.. Clinton Dawkius,
the financial member, introduced the cur
rency bill. He said that it had been de-

hostile to silver, in which the inhabitants
of India largely invest their savings. 1t
believes that the rupee currency will ex-
pand in response to trade demands, as
the exchange of rupees for gold should
impart elasticity to the currency"

Henry NJ. Clemence, the auctioneer, in

but he possesses none that he prizes more
than a copy of a sermon delivered by Rev
Thaddeus Maccarty, the revolutionary
pastor of the Old South Church, to a ne,
gro about to be hanged for heinous
crime. In the ante-revolutionary days i,
was the practice to bring a doomed Grim
inal into church and have the preacher
give him a spiritual send-of. This ser
mon was delivered in the year 1853, long
before the Bostonese took it into their
heads to sever diplomatic relations be-
tween the American colonies and their I'm
Gle George, the English king.
This particular colored man was appre-
hended, tried and sentenced to be hanged
by the neck. History does not give the
full name of the colored man who was
preached to with a rope around his neck
and a grave dug within sight, but in the
sermon he Is referred to as Arthur or
more specifically, and with a view to Civ
ing Arthur tip that there was no slip of
the moose likely in his case, THE Dying
Arthur"
The Rev. Thaddeus was great painter
with words, and to the unfortunate Arthur
he pictured the neither word with old
fashioned colors. To read the sermon
even a this day one with powerful mag
ination can almost sniff the birthstone and
can realize how Arthur must have felt #
he sat there with the whole of Worcester
county occupying the pews. Arthur prob
ably wasn't tickled 20 any extent.
He was informed that a cot bed made Of
brims tone, with mattress lined with live
Goals that never burned out, was awaiting
him in the event of his dying impenitent.
According 90 references in the sermon TO
the people. there must have been a large
number present. In fact, in those days,
when prize fights. horse races, and even
the smoking of tobacco were held to be
sinful. seeing a murderer off on his last
journey was about the only sporting event
OF the times. and the people iocked out in
large numbers 10 see the trap sprung and
the victim drop.
This sermon was printed by Kneeland &.
Adams of Boston, and the exact dale Of
its delivery was oct. 20, 1868. The pastor
of the Old South Church was evidently an
expert at this sort Of preaching, for he was
in great demand and there are the bodies

The Sorrowful Tree.

There Is a tree in Persia TO which the
name the sorrowful tree is given. Per-
haps because it blossoms only in the even
ing
When the first star appears IN the heav-
ems the first bud of the sorrowful tree
opens. and as the shades of night advance
and the stars thiekly stud the SIX ~ the buds
continue gradually opening until the whole
tree looks like one immense white flower. On
the approach of dawn, when the brilliancy
of the stars gradually fades in the light OF
day. the sorrowful tree closes its flowers,
and ere the sun is fully risen not single
blossom is visible. A sheet of flower dust
as white as snow covers the ground around
the foot of the tree, which seems bGghted
and withered during the day, while, how
ever, it Is actively preparing for the next
nocturnal festival The fragrance of the
blossoms is like that of the evening prim-
rose.
If the tree is cut down close to the roots,
a new plant shoots up and attains maturity
in an incredibly short time.
In the vicinity of this singular tree there
usually grows another, which is almost an
exact counterpart of the scrrowful tree,
but less beautiful, and, strange to say, it
blooms only in the daytime. st Louis
