Tho Man-Enting Tree. Dr, Jay writes from Madagascar to the South Australian Register: If you can imagine a pineapple, eight feet high and thick in proportion, resting upon its base, and denuded of leaves, you will have a good idea of j the trunk, of the tree, which, however, was not the color of an annna, but a dark, dingy, brown, arid apparently us hard as iron. From the apex of this frustrated come (at least two feet in diameter) eight huge leaves sheer to the ground, like doors swung back on their hinges, These leaves, which were joined at the top of Ihe tree tit regular intervals, were about eleven or twelve feet long, and shaped very much like the leaves of an American agave or century plant. They are two feet through in their thickest point and three feet wide, tapering to I a sharp point that looked like a cow's liorn. very convex on the outer (hut now under surface) and on the under (now upper) surface slightly concave. 'Iltis eoneavo lace was thickly set with strong thorny hooks like those upon the head of the teazle. The leaves, i hanging thus limp and lifeless, dead green in color,4iud in appearance the massive strength of oak fibre; The aptx of the cone was a round, white, concave figure, like a smaller plate set within a larger one. This was not a flower, but a receptacle, and there I exuded it into a clear treacly liquid I honey, sweet, and possessed of violent j intoxicating and soporific properties. I From underneath the rim (so to spelik) of the undermost, plate a series of long, hairy, green tendrils stretch ed out in every direction toward the horizon. These were seven or eight feet long, and tapered from four inches to a half inch iu diameter, yet they stretched out stillly as iron rods. Above these (from between the upper and under cup) six white, almost transparent pit!pi reared themselves toward th 3 sky, twirling and twist-jug with a marvellous incessant motion, yot'constantly reaching upward. Thin as reeds, and frail as cpiills, apparent ly, were yet five or six feet tall, and were so constantly and vigorously in motion, with such a'subtle,sinuous, silent, throbbing against tho air, with their suggestions of serpents flnyed, yet (lancing on their taila. My obser vations on this occasion were suddenly interrupted by tho natives, who had been shrieking around the tree with their shrill voices, and chanting what Heudrick told me were propitiatory hy hi us to the great tree devil. With still wilder shrieks and chants they;now surrounded one oi the women and urged her with points of their javelins until slowly, and with despair ing [face, she climbed up the stalk of the .tree and stood on the summit of L the cone, the palpi swirling all about her. "Tsik !" "Tsik 1" (Drink ! drink 0 cried the men. Stooping, she drank of tho viscid fluid in the cup, rising instantly again, with wild frenzy in her face and convulsive cords in her limbs. But sho did not jump down, as sho seemed intend :o do. Oh, no! Tho atrocious cannibal tree, that had becn? so inert and dead, came to sud den savage life. The slender delicate palpj with tho fury of starved serpents, quivered a moment over her head, then, as if instinct with demoniac in telligence, fastened upon her in sud den coils round and round her neck and arms, and while her awful screams and yet more awful laughter rose wildly to be instantly strangled \ down again into a gurgling moan, the tendrils, one tiftcranother; like great green serpents, with brutal energy and infernal rapidity, rose, contracted themselves, and wrapped her about in folds after folds, ever tightening with cruel swiftness and ravage tenacity of anacondas fastening upon thoir prey. It was the barbarity of the Laocoon without its beauty?this strange hor ?fj^JrW RTTWFHeT^^rB u'd ' now fnc gi-oat leaves rose slowly and stiffly; like the anus of a derrick, erected thedi.-'c.ves iu the air, approached one another, and closed about the dead and hampered victim with the fciient force of a hydraulic press ami the ruthless purpose of n thumbscrew. A moment more, and while I could sec the buses of theses great leaves pressing more tightly toward each other from their interstices, there trickled down the stalk of the tree great streams of the viscid honey-like fluid, mingled hor ribly with the blood and oozing viscera of the victim. At sight of this the savage hordes around me, yelling mildly bounded forward, crowded to the tree, clasped it, and with cups, '.raves, hands and tongues, each one obtained enough Of the liquid to send him mad and frantic. The llarktnau in Court. 'Your name is?is?what?, asked the Court. 'Davey, sir?George Davey/ 'And you work at?what?' 'Drive hack.' 'Ah?ha!' smiled his Honor, ac quiring sudden interest; 'this is worth twenty dollars to inc. You are one of those men .who stand on the edge of the walk at the depots and shout ?Jinx !' at people.' 'I have to git passengers, sir,' 'Don't suss mo back, Mr. Davey?1 known all nonut you ! Only the oth er day, as 1 returned from a Mayday party in the country, there were one million five hundred and sixty-live thousand three, hundred and ninety two of you on the curb stone, and every one of you yelled Mlax !' at me. One seized my satchel, another grabbed at my coat, and tin other pulled me backward by the coat tails. 1 believe you are that man !' ' 'Deed, sir, 1 liaint.' 'Well, it's barely possible that I am mistaken, but here's a charge that you were lying on the walk drunk.' 'I wasn't, sir; 1 was silling up along side a house." 'That's too fine a point to argue. \Vcrc you drunk ?' Only sprung, sir; only a little sprung.' 'That's just as bad in tho sight of the. law, and J ought to fine you 8700.* ' Crash us ? but 1 could never pay that!' 'No; my object would bo to keep you in prison all your days.' ??b, lot up on a feller,' pleaded the prisoner. 'This is the first time, and it shall he the last. I've a large fami ly, sir, and they need my wages to get their bread.' His Honor took a long time to think, and then replied : 'It is wrong to let you off. The citizens will condemn me, and the newspapers will blow at me, but I be lieve I'll give you a show- You may go, but I shall keep watch "of you. You must mend your ways right off. Instead of yelling 'lldx !' ataman, do you smile, and softly whisper: 'sir, can 1 have tho pleasure of conveying you to some designated potn? V Prom ise me this?' The prisoner promised, and was al lowed to disappear, limping sadly with a sore heel. Aa Kxvitijig Cdutest. Last winter two of my neighbors, Mr. Miller and Mr. Grant, lost their wives upon the same day, dud both of the funerals took place three days af terward, the int.crinent.3 being made at the cemetery about the ?mine hour. As the two funeral parties were com ing out of the burying ground, Miller met Grunt; and clasping each other's hand they indulged in a sympathetic squeeze, and the following conversa tion ensued : Miller.?'I'm sorry for you, It's an unspeakable loss isn't it?' Grant*?'Awful ! .She was the best woman that ever lived." Miller.?'She was indeed. I never met her equal. She was a good wife to me.' Grant.?'I was referring to my wife. There couldn't be two best you Miller.?'Ycs^iknow. I know well enough that your wite couldn't hold a caud!c to mine.' Grain.?'She couldn't, hey? Couldn't hoid a candle. Why she could dance all round Mrs. Miller every diiy in the week including Sun days, arid not half try! Shu was an unmitigated angei take her any way you would." Miller.?'Oh, she was, was she? Well I don't want to be personal but if I owned a crosseyed angel with red hair and no tee h. and as bony as an omnibus horse, I'd kill her if she didn't die of her own accord. Dance! How could a woman dance that had feet like candle boxen, and lame at that ?' (I rant.?'Better lie cross-eyed than wear the kind of a red nose that your wife llourisbed arotind this comm ni ty. I bet it'll bum a hole through the coffin lid. And you pretend you're sorry site's stepped out! But you can't impose on me! I know you're so glad you can hardly hold in. She was the cliticklc-hendedst woman that over disgraced a grave yard; that's w hat she was.' Miller.?'If you abuse my wife, I'll knock the head off of you.' Grant.?'I'd like to sir. you try it.' Then the two disconsolate widower-.! engaged in a hand-to hand combat, and after fighting awhile iu the snow the mourners pulled them apart just as Mr. Miller was about to insist upjiii his wile's virtues by biting off Mr. Grant's nose. hill Mahiiie. In these stagl ant times people, should be grateful for anything that wii! provoke a smile. Two old color ed ladies met recently in a grocery store in Columbia, ami, while making their purchases, of rourso "talked church." 'Well,' said one, 'Brother Goldiu Ifcis lost his house.' 'Why, how he lose it ?' asked the other. 'Well, you know ho borrowed money milch that 'sociation, whatever you call it, that lends money (build ing ami loan suggested it bystander), that's it; Well, he got t ic money outen bim, and failed to pay it back, you know, so you see this?what's his name? (building and loan again suggested)?comes down hot on Brother Co ding, and takes tho place bodaeiously from him.' Up lo this portion of the narrative ,? m ? , .v>tsas the couutenance of 'th'o listening awter had been expressive only of a pdlito interest end mournful Christian 1 sympathy in the misfortunes of Broth er Goblin; but when tho speaker vre*it on to say: 'And now Brother Goldm wants we mombers of the church to Hing in aud pay the debt for him/ a fearful change came over that intelli gent face?her eyes Hashed fire. 'TIe do/ cried emphatically;, placing her hands upon her hips, and striking a . determined altitude, 'he do, does he ?

Whose Bill Malon'e, I'd like to know/ she continued, lashing herself into a fury, 'that he can't wait for his money as well as other people? He's some hereticle old ocbelievor, or he wouldn't be so hard down on a mem ber of the church; but he'll brile for it hereafter, that's one comfort.' And gathering up her bundles?not in her indignation forgetting one?she tossed her head and inarched out of the store. When last heard from she was still I abusing 'old Bill Malone.' How to Calculate Interest and What il Will do. The following rules are so simple land so tute according to all business j usage, that every banker, broker, merchant or clerk should post them up for reference. There being no such thing as a fraction in it, there io scarcely any liability to error or mis I take. By no other arithmetical pro I cess can the desired information ha I obtained by go few figures: j Six per cent-r-^Multiply any given I f H^Wrer !$? tfoftWu' by 'ITfoluuntEer of? days of interest desired, separate the right hand figure and divide by six; the result is the true interest on such number of days at six per cent. Eight per cent?Multiply any given amount for the number of days upon which it is desired to ascertain the interest, and divide by forty-five, and the result will he the interest of such sum for the time required, at eight per cent. What it will do. If a mechanic or clerk saves o:ily 2} cents a day, from the time he is twenty-one until ho is threescore and ten, the aggregate, with interest, will amount to $2,900; aud a daily saving of 07} cents reaches the important sum of 850,000. A six pence saved daily will provide a sum of 87,000?sufficient to purchase a good farm. '' "! ' '' There arc few employers who can-' not save daily, by abstaining from the uso of cigars, tobacco, liquor, etc., twico or ten times the amount of the six cent piece. Every person should provide fcr old age, and the man in business who enn save a dollar a day will eventual!} find himself possessed of over $100.000. 'It isn't so very late?only a quarter of twelve.'
