1t was the custom of the late Charles
A. Dana to visit this city occasionally,
writes a Washington correspondent of
the New York Times, and to spend the
entire day that he gave to sight-see-
ing in looking over the trees of the
city with William r. Smith, in charge
of the botanical gardens. Mr.. Dana
said Of Mr.. Smith that he knew more
about trees than any half-dozen men
of Mr.. Dana's acquaintance. Mr.. Smith
has in his gardens number of his
torically interesting trees. There is a
Kentucky oak grown from an acorn
planted by John ]. Crittenden, and =
story goes with this information about
the intimacy that existed between
Crittenden, Robert Mallory and John
A. Bingham Of Ohio. Not far from
the elm grown from one planted by
George Washington at the time he laid
the cornerstone of the capitol. Work
men killed the tree while excavating
for the architectural terrace at the
west front. Mr.. Smith propagated the
new elm from the old roots, and the
new tree was planted where it is by
Senator James B. Beck of Kentucky.
While Jefferson Davis was secretary
of war his wife gave Mr.. Smith some
seed of the Monterey cypress, from
which was produced a fine specimen
near the end of the greenhouse. Two
specimens of the bald variety of cyp-
ress are named "Forney" and For
rest" one planted by John w. Forney.

at the grave of Confucius, and was pre-
scented to the garden by Charles A.
Dana and planted by Representative
Amos J. Cummings fifteen years ago.

who planted an English oak; Proctor

while fishing of Cape Charles light

keep baited hook, attached to an ex-
tremely long line in the water at all
times. Occasionally this persistency
is rewarded with cod or other tooth

happened to be near the line when the
limp" fish was hooked. He started to
pull it in, and then ensued as pretty
fisherman. Several times the creature
was brought to the surface, and on one
occasion it leaped ten feet in the air
After a battle lasting fully an hour the
monster was harpooned and pulled on
Seek. The fish weighed about eighty
pounds. The imp has wings, which
are of the thickness of sailcloth, and
are notified with blue checks or
squares. The mouth is filled with par
alleI rows of cOnical teeth, the rows
varying from two, in the back part of
twice these numbers in the lower jaw
The tail has three rows of spines, re-
sembling the teeth running its whole
length. The limp" has no scales

Rural Delivery Routes.

We learn from Mr.. r. s. Link, postmaster
at Abbeville that three additional rural deliv'
cry routes may be established from Abbeville
He says that it will be useless for him to re.
commend the route by Dsndy's Bridge, unless
there is q good crossing over Long Cane
which would not endanger the malls or pre-
vent the passage Of the carriers. The Gov.
ernment agent, or officer entrusted with the
establishment OF these routes, will not ap.
prove difficult or doubtful routes. II that
part Of the country is TO receive any sort OF
recognition from the county, or United States
authorities, an improvement Of the road
across Long Cane is necessary. The people
in that section have been neglected long
enough, and it is believed that our County
Supervisor will attend to matter, SO that the
people along that route may receive equal
benefits Of good government.

Death OF Robert Gillian.

Because of the death of Robert Gill
liam, brother of Professor Gillian, the
home of President Bailey is in deep
mourning. The deceased was son Of
Mrs. Bailey by a former marriage, and
was, therefore step son of President
Bailey. The editor of the Press and
Banner had not the pleasure of per-
sonal acquaintance with Mr.. Gillian,
but during his life we heard much OF
him from various sources, and every
thing that was said Of him was good.
It is seldom that we record sadder
death. In lieu of any thing that we
might say, we copy from The State
the testimony of one who knew him,
and which would be worth more than
any thing that we could add. The
State said:

from The States correspondent at All

A SANITARY GEN.
The Old Typhoid Bucket that Hung
in the Well.
fErom the New York Tim

(From the New York TImes)
The usual autumual recurrence OF typhoid
fever has led many medical anthoroties To the
belief that the origin OF this trouble Is not
to be looked for 80 much In the city IA In the
numerous summer resorts, where little atten
tion is paid to sanitary matters. and where
are frequently sown the seeds ofdisease which
may not develop till after the return home.
Especially is this the case with the smaller
and cheaper resorts; farms that take board
ers, hunting and fishing camps, etc, which
many people consider healthy simply because
they are 30 far removed rom tne artlnciai re-
situation which Is naturally the healthiest In
the world may by improper drainage or
doubtful water supply, or oy mixing both
In this connection It Is worth while to re-
print the following interesting paraphrase on
"The Old Oaken Bucket that Hung In the
Academy of Medicine many years ago. II
was written by j. G. Bayles, then president OF
the New York board Of health, apropos OF
discussion on this subject:
With what anguish Of mind remember my
childhood,

The malarious farm, the wet fupgusgrown

The scum-covered duck-pond, the pig-sty

The ditch where the sour-smelling house
The damp. shaded dwelling, the foul barn
But worse than all else was that terrible

And the old oaken bucket, the mold.crusted
The Undiscovered bucket that hung in the
we'll.
Just think OF II! Moss on the vessel that lift
The water drank In the days called to
Ere knew what professors and scientists
In the waters OF wells by analysis find; /;
The rotting wood fibre, the oxide Of iron,
The algae, the frog Of unusual size,
The water, Impure as the verses OF Byron,
Are things 1 remember with tears in my
eyes.
And to tell the sad truth though 1 shudder

The dangers that lurked In that pesti-

The Exposition Opened.

Ine E4pOS1d1On opened.
The Charleston Exposition was formally
opened last Sunday by religious exercises
and on Monday the secular speeches were de-
livered. The Exposition was then fully
opened on the business side.
The News and Courier gave full and most
interesting account of the historic event
showing ability and enterprise worthy of an
at large may have reason for pleasure and
profit.
AS far as We saw, from a casual glance at
the Mondays issue Of the News and Courier.
everyb body may read 1t with pleasure, except
McLaurin and those who love fair play.
The attack upon McLaurin was the only
thing to mar the pleasure Of reading 1t. II
the News and Courier could have refrained
from being disagreeable to the Senator and
his friends on the day OF Charleston's tri-
umph, a greater number of hearts would
have Joined in the rejoicing and none would
have had cause for displeasure.
The attack upon MoLaurin was SO ill-timed
that we cannot believe that the News and
Courier could have intended to attack the
Exposition's greatest benefactor In the hour
of Charleston's jubilee.
An apparent effort to ipjure McLaurin, or a
desire to misrepresent him. in day when all
should be pleasure and happiness, will fail of
its purpose.
Otherwise than in the attack upon McLau.
rim the historic Issue of the News and Cour-
Ter Is q source of pleasure to all South Caro-
nnians, and we are quite sure that all Of
South Carolina would have been glad If
McLaurin could have been let alone for
a single day. There is no good reason for
denying McLaurin and his friends the pleas
ure Of joining in feelings and expressions OF
rejoicing at Charleston's g success.
