Scene Of Deadly strunaIes.

It is doubtful if there is any portion
of the earth upon which there are so
many deadly struggles as upon the
earth around the trunk of tree. Up
on this small arena there are struggles
fierce and wild; here nature is red
in tooth and claw" When a tree is
small and tender, countless insects
come to feed upon it. Birds come to
1t to deyor these insects. Around
the tree daily are almost merciless
struggles for existence These death
struggles occur not only in the day
time, but in the night, Mice, rats and
rabbits destroy millions of young
trees. While at their deadly feast,
many time have they been surprised
by hawks, and then they are at a
banquet where they themselves are
eaten. The OWL the faithful night

at night, and as a result some little

Soldier of Fortune Dead.

A remarkable soldier has just died
at Budapest in the person of Gen.
Stephen Turr, one of the bravest revo-
mtionary generals that ever lived. He
commenced his military career as a
lieutenant in the Austrian army. Then
he fought for the Hungarian revolu-
tionary government, helped to quell a
German revolution, and joined Carl
baldi in his great struggle. On the
outbreak of the Crimean war he served
as a volunteer in Omar Pasha's
army against Russia, and finally re.
celved commission in the British
transport service. 1t was while
buying horses for the British
army at Bucharest in 1855
that the general was seized by the
Austrians as a deserter and sentenced
to death. But both the British and
French governments made such en-
phatic protests against this sentence
that it was committed to Punishment.
Finally. the old soldier settled down
in Paris.

TRUE MONUMENT TO DICKENS.
Found in His immortal Writings, Says
London journal.

Whether statue should be erected
to Dickens Is the subject OF an inter
esting article I'm the London Spectator.
The writer In the course of hts brows-
ing quotes from Micawber and says:
Every reader OF Dickens, Of course,
will be able to match his favorite pas
sages against ours. The enthusiasm
with which such competitions are Oft
en- conducted is the truest proof Of the
solace--we do not use too strong
word-which such memories bring In
time OF vexatlon. dullness or grief. And
In them--whiehever they may be-de-
tached as they are and properly should
be, but complete and memorable In
themselves, the true monument to
Dickens Is to be found"
The monument to Dickens was
erected by himself His characters
live forever. for they are human in
their nature, and we have all seen
them. One remembers more Of David
Copperfeld, or Little Nell, or Barkls
or Little Dorrit. or Pegotty, or Sam
uel Weller, than of the others, perhaps
but where Is there a reader OF Dickens
who has not fixed In his memory at
least one of his characters?

Chinese Fear Decapitation.

The common punishment OF decapl-

most severe Of all punishments. Thls'
to Chiuaman, is the greatest disas-
ter which could possibly happen TO
him He would rather die a thousand
deaths. each more cruel than the 9TH
or. If he could only retain a perfect
body to the end He believes that aft
er death he goes into the dark land,
where life is continued much as 1t IS
in this world He believes that II he
is deprived of his head be will be-
come a headless ghost and be doomed
to perpetual sorrow Should he wish
to marry. no woman would ever dream
Of taking a man without a head. His
hands might grasp the chopsticks. but
there would be no mouth to receive
The food lie would never be able
to find his road anywhere, and the
shades In that mysterious land would
start with terror from him as he
CROPPED his way through the shadows.
Give any Chinese criminal choice
between decapitation and any of the
most cruel deaths and he will In
stantly choose the latter.

Two young sons OF George Copeland
