PHOSPHORESCENCE.
Behind the swiftly moving ship, strange light
Float# on the waves and danoea in the
spray;
^ Brighter than moon and whiter than the
day,
Its myriad points leap dazzling to the sight
And make the whole sea fair in darkes
night.
No scienco yet has fathomed, or can say,
Where lies the shining secret ?f its ray,
Or at what hour the water will be bright.
Such momenta and such mystio lights there
are
In human lives. The days' deep currents
flow
Miraculously calm, and all things glow
With radiance borrowed from no sun or star,
'Twixt golden past and present lies no bar;

The co^onel sai(* :
Wo rode for several hours straight
3^^- from the shore toward the heart of the
I'e& island. The sun was low in the western
i| sky when we left the ship. Neither on
M the water nor on the island had we felt
a breath of air stirring. The glare was
: upon everything. Over the low range
g of hills miles away in the interior hung
a few copper-colored clouds. " Wind,"
said Briery. Kilooa shook his head.
Vegetation of all kinds showed the
J effects of the long-continued drought.
The eye wandered without relief from
the sickly russet of the undergrowth, so
dry in places that leaves and stems
crackled under the horses' feet, to the
yellowish brown of the thirsty trees
that skirted the bridle-path. No growing
thing was green except the belltop
cactus, tit to tlourish in the crater of a
living volcano.
Kilooa leaned over in the saddle and
tore from one of these plants its top, as
Dig as a uauiornia pear ana oioaiea
with juice. He crushed the bell in his
fist, and, turning, fiung into our hot
faces a few grateful drops of water.
We rode all night. At sunrise there
was a pause of hardly ten minutes for
the scanty breakfast supplied by our
haversacks. Then we were again in
the saddle, making our way through a
thicket that grew more" and more
difficult, and under a sun that grew
hotter.
"Perhaps," I remarked finally
to my taciturn friend, "you have no
objection to telling me now why two
civilized beings and one amiable savage
should be plunging through this
infernal jungle, as if they were on an
errand of life or death ?"
"Y63," said he, "it is best you
should know."
Briery produced from an inner
breast pucket a letter which had been
read and reread until it was worn in
the creases. "This," he went on, "is
from Professor Quakversuch, of the
University of Upsala. It reached me
nt "Vnlnnruiun "
Glancing cautiously around, as if he
feared that every tree fern in that
tropical wilderness was an eavesdropper,
or that the hoodlike spathes of the
giant caladiums overhead were ears
waiting to drink in some mighty secret
(f science, Briery read in a low voice
Igj^ir >m the letter of the great Swedish
K botanist:
Br "You will havo in those islands," wrote
giS the professor, " a rare opportunity to
js| investigate certain extraordinary accounts
gft; given me years ago by the Jesuit misled
eionary Bateaux concerning the Migratory
Tree, the cereus vagrans of Janseniua
' and other speculative physiologists
The explorer Spohr claims to have bekeld it;
jSc but there is reason,as you know,for accepting
g>> all of Spohr's statements with caution. That
is not the case with the assertions of my late
K valued correspondent, the Jesuit missionary.
*? Father Buteaux was a learned botanist, an
accurate observer, and a most pious and conffifi
ecientious man. He never saw the MigraH
tory Tree; but during the long period of his
Pfl labors in that part of the world he accumulated,
from widely different sources, a mass
of testimony as to its existence and habits.
K Is it quite inconceivable, my dear BriKj
er.v, that somewhere in the range of
Hj nature there is a vegetable organiza?*-.
tion as far above the cabbage, let us
Bay, in complexity and potentiality, as the
ape is above the polyp? Nature is continuous.
In all her scheme we find no chasms,
no gaps. There may be missing links in our
books and classifications and cabinets, but
there are none in the organic world. Is not
(all of lower nature struggling upward to arrive
at the point of self-consciousness and
volition? In the unceasing process of evolution,
differentiation, improvement in special
function, why may not a i >lant arrive at this
point and feel, will, act?in short, possess and
exercise the characteristics of the true animal?
" I have no doubt that if it shall be your
great good fortune to encounter a specimen
of the Migratory Tree ^escribed by Buteaux,
you will find that it possesses a well-defined
system of real nerves and ganglia, constituting,
in fact, the seat of vegetable intelligence.
I conjure you to be very thorough in
your dissections. According to the indications
furnished me by the Jesuit, this extraordinary
tree should belong to the order of
Cactaoere. It should be developed only in
conditions of extreme heat and dryness. Its
roots should be hardly more than rudimentary,
affording a precarious attachment to the
earth. This attachment it should be able to
sever at will, soaring up into the air and
Iawuy 10 aiionier pmce beitx-ieu u> iuiou, up a
bird fihiffe its habitation. I infer that these
migrations are accomplished by means of
, th( property of secreting hydrogen gas, with
which it inflates at pleasure a bladder-like
organ of highly elastic tissue, thus lifting itself
out of the ground and off to a new
abode. Buteaux added that the Migratory
Tree was invariably worshiped by the natives
as a supernatural being, and that the
mystery thrown by them around its cult was
the greatest obstacle in the path of the investigator."
" There!" exclaimed Briery, folding
up Professor Quakversuch's letter.
"Is not that a quest worthy the risk or
sacrifice of life itself? To add to the
recorded facts of vegetable morphology
the proved existence of a tree that
wanders, a tree that wills, a tree, perhaps,
that thinks?this is glory to be
won at any cost! The lamented Decandolle
of Geneva?"
"Confound the lamented Decandolle
of Geneva!" shouted I, for it was excessively
hot and I felt that we had
come on a fool's errand.
it was near sunset on me secona
day of our journey, when Kilooa, who
was riding several rods in advance of
us, uttered a quick cry, leaped from his
saddle and stooped to the ground.
Brieiy was at his side in an instant.
I followed with less agility; my joints
were very stiff, and I had no scientific
enthusiasm to lubricate them. Briery
was on his hands and knees, eagerly
examining what seemed to be a recent
c disturbance of the soil. The savage
was prostrate, rubbing his forehead in
the dust, as if in a religious ecstasy,
and warbling the same falsetto notes
that we had heard at the holy woman's
hut.
" What beast's trail have you
struck?" I demanded.
"The trail of no beast," answered
Briery, almost angrily. " Do you see
this broad, round abnision of the surface,
where a heavy weight has rested?
Do you see these little troughs in the
fresh earth, radiating from the center
like the points of a star? They are the
scars left by slender roots torn up from
their shallow beds. Do you see Kilooa's
hvstfirical nerformance V I tell vou we
are on the track of the Sacred Tree. It
has been here, and not long ago."
Acting under Uriery's excited instructions
we continued the hunt on
foot. Kilooa started toward the east,
II toward the west and Uriery took the
southward course.
To cover the ground thoroughly we
agreed to advance in gradually widening
zigzags, communicating with each
other at intervals by pistol shots.
There could have been no more foolish
arrangement. In a quarter of an hour
I had lost ray head and my bearings in
a thicket. For another quarter of an
hour I discharged my revolver repeatedly,
without getting a single response
from east or south. I spent the rez
mainder of daylight in a blundering
effort to make my way back to the
place where the horses were; and then
g& the sun went down.leavingme in sudden
P darkness, alone in a wilderness of the
f-: extent and character of which I had
!not the faintest idea.
I will spare you the history of my
sufferings during the whole of that
night and the next day, and the next
night, and another day. "When it was
r dark I wandered about in blind de?
spair, longing for daylight, not daring
..-r / - to sleep or even to stop, and in conpJki
tinual terror of the unknown dangers
? that surrounded me. In the daytime
p7, I longed for night, for the sun scorched
~ its way through the thickest roof that
the luxuriant foliage afforded, and
drove me nearly mad. The provisions
:in my haversack were exhausted. My
T- canteen was on my saddle; 1 should
j?i'' have died of- thirst had it not been for
HE the belltop cactus, which I found twice.
But in that horrible experience neither 1
the torture of hunger and thirst, nor
the torture of heat equaled the misery ,
of the thought that my life was
to be sacrificed to the delusion of a
crazy botanist, who had dreamed of
the impossible.
The impossible?
On the second afternoon, still staggering
aimlessly on through the jungle,
I lost my last strength and fell to the
ground. Despair and indifference had
long since given way to an eager desire
for the end. I closed my eyes with
indescribable relief; the hot sun seemed
pleasant on my lace as consciousness
departed.
Did a beautiful and gentle woman
come to me while I lay unconscious,
and take my head in her lap, and put
her arms around me? Did she press
her face to mine, and in a whisper bid
me have courage? That was the belief
that filled my mind when it ?truggled
back for a moment into consciousness;
I clutched at the warm, soft
arms, and swooned again.
Do not look at each other .and smile,
gentlemen; in that cruel wilderness,in
my helpless condition, 1 found pity and
benignant tenderness. The next time
my senses returned I saw that something
was bending over me?something
majestic if not beautiful, humane
if not human, gracious if not woman.
The arms that held me and drew me
up were moist, and they throbbed with
the pulsation of life. There was a
faint, sweet odor, like the smell of a
woman's perfumed hair. The touch
was a caress, the clasp an embrace.
Can I describe Its form? No, not
with the definiteness that would satisfy
the Quakversuchs and the Brierys. I
saw that the trunk was massive. The
branches that lifted me from tne
ground and held me carefully and
gently were flexible and symmetrically
disposed. Above my head there was a
wreath of strange foliage, and in the
midst of it a dazzling sphere of scarlet.
The scarlet globe grew while I watched
it, but the effort of watching it was
too much for me.
Kemember, if you please, that at
this time physical exhaustion and mental
torture had brought me to the
point where I passed to and fro between
consciousness and unconsciousness
as easily and as frequently as one
fluctuates between slumber and wakefulness
during a night of fever. It
seemed the most natural thing in the
world that in my extreme weakness I
should be beloved and cared for by a
I cactus. I did not seek an explanation
of this good fortune or try to analyze
it; I simply accepted it as a matter of
course, as a child accepts a benefit
from an unexpected quarter. The one
idea that possessed me was that I had
found an unknown friend, instinct
with womanly sympathy and immeasurably
kind.
Ami aq niorht. carno on it seemed to
me that the scarlet bulb overhead became
enormously distended, so that it
almost filled the sky. Was I gently
rocked by the supple arms that still
held me? Were we floating off together
into the air? I did not know,
or care. Now I fancied that I was in
my berth on board ship, cradled by the
swell of the sea; now, that I was
borne on with prodigious speed
through the darkness by my own volition.
The sense of incessant motion
affected all my dreams. Whenever I
awoke I felt a cool breeze steadily
beating against my face?the first
breath of air since we had landed. I
was vaguely happy, gentlemen. I
had surrendered all responsibility for
my own fate. I had gained the protection
of a being of superior powersin.
" The brandy flask, Kilooa!"
It was daylight. I lay upon the
ground and Briery was supporting my
shoulder. In his face was a look of
bewilderment that I shall never forget.
" My God !" he cried, " and how did
you get here? We gave up the search
two days ago.*'
The brandy pulled me together. I
staggered to my feet and looked
around. The cause of Briery's extreme
amazement was apparent at a glance.
We were not in the wilderness. We
were at the shore. There was the
bay, and the ship at anchor, half a
mile off. They were already lowering
a boat to send for us.
And there to the south was a bright
red spot on the horizon, hardly larger
than the morning star?the Balloon
Tree returning to the wilderness. I
saw it, Briery saw it, the savage
Kilooa saw it. We watched it till it
vanished. We watched it with different
emotions. Kilooa with superstitious
reverence, Briery with scientific
interest and intense disappointment, I
with a heart full of wonder and gratitude.
I clasped my forehead with both
hands. It was no dream, then. The
Tree, the caress, the embrace, the scarlet
bulb, the night journey through the
air, were not creations and incidents
of delirium. Call it tree, or call
it plant-animal ?there it was I
Let the men of science quarrel
over ttie question 01 us existence in
nature; this I know: It had found me
dying and had brought me more than
a hundred miles straight to the ship
where I belonged. Under Providence,
gentlemen, that sentient and intelligent
vegetable organization had saved
my life.
[At this point the colonel got up
and left the club. He was very much
moved. Pretty soon Briery came in,
briskly as usual. He picked up an uncut
copy of Lord Bragmuch's "Travels
in Kerguellen's Land," and settled himself
in an easy-chair at the corner of
the fireplace.
Young Traddles timidly approached
the veteran globetrotter. "Excuse
me, Mr. Briery," said he," but I should
like to ask you a question about the
Balloon Tree. "Were there scientific reasons
for believing that its sex was?"
"Ah," interrupted Briery, looking
bored; "the colonel has been favoring
you with that extraordinary narrative?
Has he honored me again with a share
in the adventure? Yes? Well, did
we bag the game this time?"
"Why, no," said young Traddles. j
"You last saw the Tree as a scarlet
spot against the horizon." ,
" By Jove, another miss!" said
Briery, calmly beginning to cut the ^
leaves of his book.]?New York Sun.

Signers of the Declaration.

the gratitude of the republic, and
some of them perished by the mere
decay of the powers of nature. Of
the fifty-six who affixed their signatures
to that document, twenty-seven
lived to an age exceeding seventy
years and forty to an age of sixty.
Only two of the whole number, Gwinnett,
of Georgia, who fell in a duel in
his forty-fifth year, and Lynch, of
South Carolina, who was shipwrecked
in his sixtieth year, died a
violent death. Twenty-one lived
to the beginning of the present century,
and three were permitted to see
the great experiment of a representative
confederacy confirmed by the
events of fifty years. Of all the delegates
from New York and New England,
only one, Whipple, of New
Hampshire, died at an earlier age than
sixtv. Never in the world had the
leaders in any body and grand political
movement more reason to congratulate
themselves and their country
on the issue. The exertions and perils
of their manhood were succeeded by a
peaceful, honored and ripe old age, in
which they witnessed the happy result
of the institutions they had aided
in devising, and they were gathered in j
their graves amid the regrets of the
generation which was in its cradle .
when they laid the foundation of the ;
republic.

THE GREAT NATIONAL PAM
THE TBIiLOWSTOJTB TRACT AITS XT!
XABY W0NDEB8.
An Area Two-Thirds the Size of Connertlcut
Destined in Time to B(C?m? the
Mecca of American Traveler#.
A writer in the New York Observer
says of the great Yellowstone National
park: Few people, probably, realize its
immense area; and it may be questioned
whether there are many who could describe,
with any approach to exactness,
its situation in the great "West. For
the benefit of all the uninformed, it
may not be superfluous to state that it
occupies the extreme northwesterly
corner of the Territory of "Wyoming,
that its northern boundary is about
forty miles south oi the Northern Pacific
railway, and that it covers a territory
of sixty-two by fifty miles,
which is two-thirds the acreage of the
State of Connecticut, and will approach
tllftt 01 iMHSSHCIlUSCttS II. Hit!
addition of 3,300 square miles be made
to its present area. Or, to furnish another
comparison, if a parallelogram
be marked out on the map, extending
north from New York city to Poughkeepsie,
and east from Poughkeepsie to
Hartford, it will about represent the
length and breadth of the people's
Western pleasure ground.
Within this great tract are comprised
some of the most remarkable
natural phenomena of the continent.
Nowhere else, indeed, are so many extraordinary
features grouped in such
close proximity. Nature has here been
prodigal of her bounties; geysers,
waterfalls, lakes, canons and mountains
whose tops are capped with perpetual
snow, combine in lavish profusion
to make the district one of unrivaled
attractiveness. It cannot be
doubted that, when easy means of access
shall be provided, the Yellowstone
region will become the Mecca of American
travelers. At present the park
may be reached in either of two ways:
Vntprina it frmn thfi Wfcst. Via Dillon
and Virginia City, or from the North,
via Bozeman on the Northern Pacific
railroad. In coming by way of Virginia
City one takes the Union Pacific road
to Ogden, and thence journeys by the
Utah Northern, to Dillon, Montana,
where a wagou road starts for Virginia
City and the park. By either
route the journey is long and fatiguing,
and the round trip from Virginia City,
through the park and back again, can
hardly be made, if one proposes to see
the country with any thoroughness, in
less than a month. It will not be
many years, however, before the Northrrn
Pacific will push a narrow guage
toad from Bozeman up the valley of
the Yellowstone, making the park directly
accessible from the east.
As yet everything, of course, is in
the rough. Visitors procure their outfit
at Virginia City, exchange their
wagon for horseback at the entrance of
the park, camp out at night and enjoy
about the same kind of life that tourists
experience in Palestine and the
East. One cannot do much more than
twenty miles a day, and ought to remain
at least three weeks in the park

ders. These will strike him when he
first encounteis the geysers at the Firehole
river on his way to the Yellowstone
lake. He will have read of the
famous Iceland geyser, the basin of
which is seventy-two feet in diameter
and four feet deep, and which throws
a spout 150 feet high; but that will
hardly prepare him for the "Excelsior"
of the Yellowstone, the basin of which
ha3 a diameter of 250 feet and a depth
of thirty feet, and which spouts with
more or less frequency anywhere from
200 to 500 feet in the air. No description
can do justice to the grandeur of
such an exhibition, or paint the wonderful
effects produced by the coloring
of the silicious crust which forms the
geyser basins. So beautiful are these
deposits that they tempt the cupidity
of travelers and are ruthlessly broken
and destroyed, that the fragments may
be carried away as mementos. Vandalism,
indeed, is rife throughout the
park. Game is wantonly k;lled, the
natural features are everywhere defaced
and camp Ores are heedlessly left
to ignite the trees and consume acres
nf rvrinolnca n'nra 11 Jl n rl
It is not, however, the geysers, grand
as they are, that form the chief attraction
of the park. As the traveler
coraes out of the wooded borders of the
Yellowstone lake?the loftiest of its
size in the world?its background of
snow-clad mountains invites his admiration;
while the great falls and
canon of the Yellowstone, when he
reaches them, compel his wondering
delight. Here the mountain torrent
leaps first over a cliff 162 feet high;
then rushrs for half a mile in a series
of foaming cascades; then precipitating
itself over a sheer height of 350 feet,
whirls and dashes for eighteen miles
through a gorge whose marvelouslytinted
walls rise to an elevation of
2,500 feet. Along the top runs the
road, from which occasional bridlepaths
lead for purposes of observation
down the sides of the cliff to
shelves of geyser formation, where the
hot springs mingle tneir waters wiui
mountain torrents of melted snow.
What the park chiefly lacks, besides
facility of access, is suitable hotel accommodation
at the principal points
of interest. And this will undoubtedly
be supplied, though not, it is to be
hoped, in the way contemplated by the
interior department in its recent negotiations.
Under the proposed agreement
the lessees were to enjoy the exclusive
privilege of erecting hotels,
running stages and operating telegraph
lines within the park for ten
years, paying only the nominal rent of
$2 an acre for 4,400 acres in tracts of
640 acres each. These tracts comprised
about all the important objects
of curiosity and interest in the place,
and their cession under the "lease
would practically give the lessees entire
control over the park, not only for
building houses and exhibiting the
phenomena, but for establishing a gicrantic
cattle ranch, if they should
elect to utilize in this way the rich
pasturage of the river bottoms. No
one but those who have some such ulterior
motive in fostering the scheme
will dissent from the strong condemnation
which it received from Senator
Vest's committee, or will disagree with
the committee's conclusion, that " nothing
but absolute necessity should permit
the great National park to be used
for money-making by private persons.'
Three Coins to the Dollar.
It was in an uptown New York
hotel the other evening. A somewhat
pretentious and self-opinionated politician
was treating his listeners to a
flatulent exposition of bimetalism, the
coinage and the new nickel. He knew
all abuut it, and nobody could get a
worci in eugewise.
At length one of the auditors said:
"By the way. have you seen those new
coins?three to the dollar V"
"What are you giving me? There
ain't no such coin," s:dd the oracle.
Reiteration brought more emphatic
denial, until a wager was made as to
whether the United States treasury
did or did not produce any coins three
of which made a dollar. The gentleman
maintaining that it did drew from
his pocket two bright quarters and a
fifty-cent piece, saying: "These three
United States coins make one dollar.
Thetfager does not require them to be
of uniform value. Selah."
It was a trick, and not an original
one at that, but it bottled up the oracle.
A Cure for Stammering.
An English physician cures stammering
by causing his patients to keep
the lungs well filled, to draw long and
frequent breaths, speak loud and pause
the moment they find embarrassment
in speech, taking a long breath before
going on. His theory is that stammering
is due to attempting to speak
with empty lungs. In singing the
lungs are kept inflated, hence it is that
inveterate stammerers are sometimes
compelled to sing whatever they wish
to say.

A NABBOW ESCAPE.
D?t*U? of tht Terrific Explosion la Engllak
G?Terum?ni Building*,
The utmost consternation was created in
London by an attempt to blow np the English
local government board offices near the
houses of parliament. One account of the
occurrence Bays:
Every part of Westminster, the abbey, the
houses of parliament, the great structures of
the public offices, the clubs and dwelling
houses were violently shaken to-night by a
tremendous explosion, At 9 o'clock p. u.
precisely a groat detonation was heard,
followed by the crash of glass falling
from thousands of windows. A deliberate
attempt has been made to blow up part of

Sir Charlefl Dilke and the local government
board, in the immense building bounded by
Parliament street, Downing street, Charles
street and. St. James park. The apartments
in question front on Charles street and are
almost level with the pavement. The walls
are of great thickncrs, and of solid masonry,
and the windows protected by a massive stone
balustrade. Opposite, fifty yards away, is the
King street police station. Fifty feet away
a sentry guards the Parliament street front.
Charles street is dark and unfrequented at
night, which partly explains the extraordinary
fact that no lives were lost. The dynamite
was placed on the window-sill inside
the balustrade, where the fuse when burning
would be concealed from the view of any one
passing.
The force of the explosion was terrific.
The great stone balustrade was obliterated,
the massive masonry rent to fragments, and
the pavement shattered and ground to
powder. A wooden structure opposite was
blown into splinters, and a mass of stone
was driven through the wall of the house
beyond it.
Inside the offices there remained nothing
but splintered wood, brokon plaster, walls
burst asunder?an indescribable scene of destruction.
The stie-jt was completely covered
with tho fragments of broken plate glass
blown bodily out and shattered to atoms.
Tim firw-irq of iho Kinrr street nolice station
were burst in by the blast of air, ana the detachment
present was prostrated. Broken
timbers and masses of stone were sent flying
into King street. People crossing at Parliament
street were knocked down. A hansom
and horse were flung acrcm the sidewalk
against the front of the Whitehall club, in
which the great plate glass windows were
driven in a shower into the rooms.
Everywhere the greatest consternation
prevailed. People poured out of their houses,
the broken glass cracking under their feet.
In the house of commons the alarm was general.
Many members left immediately, the
lobby was emptied, and people rushed out of
Westminster hall.
Some two hundred polioe and a detachment
of the fire brigade took possession of
Charles street and drew a cordon around the
building, which no one but members of parliament
and public officials were allowed to
pass. As the alarm spread IhousandB
flocked from all i arts toward Westminster
and the most intense excitement prevailed,
the report rapidly gaining currency that the
house of commons had been blown up.
No one to-night pretends to explain the
motive or purpose of the act. It is ascribed
to the Irish Invincibles, as a matter of
course, and is described as part of a Fenian
plot, a threat and a warning to the government.
One thing only is certain?it was a deed
of frightful recklessness and atrocity, and
only an inexplicable good fortune prevented
it from being attended with the most serious
fatality.

Times. That paper made the following
statement: "An explosion at onr office occurred
at 7:-15 o'clock on Wednesday evening,
but the falling of the canister prevented any
serious damage. There is reason to believe
that two attempts of this kind were made by
the same miscreants."
FACTS AND COMMENTS.
If the estimate of Rufus Hatch, now
in Europe, be correct, the demand for
American food products during the
coming year or two is likely to be of
vast proportions. He states that according
to his information not more
than half the available acreage of
Europe will be seeded this season,
owing to the floods and consequent bad
condition of lands covered by floods.
The surplus of grain and provisions
existing in this country now and that
of 1883 will be wanted across the Atlantic
at liberal prices. The devastation
and distress in Europe are widespread,
and affect both Great Britain
and the continent.
The assertion that the soldiers of the
guard of President Garfield open the

From figures only recently made
public it appears that in August, 1870,
780,728 German soldiers crossed the
French frontier, followed during the
war by 22*2,762 others. The soldieis
remaining in Germany were 400,000
At the close of the armistice the German
army counted 936,918 men. The
army besieging Paris numbered 180,000
men, while the Paris garrison numbered
230,000 men. The number of
combats in which at least one company,
one squadron or a battery was
engaged was 766. There were 333,341
French prisoners sent into Germany.
The French lost 107 flags, 7,441 cannons
and 855,000 firearms. The loss
of the German army was 129,000 men,
of whom 48,862 were killed *and 88,838
wounded; 17,572 were killed on the
field and 10,710 died in consequence of
their wounds.
A Mexican naner calls attention to
the value of certain kinds of wood
found in that country. It says: The
large tracts of precious woods covering
the coast regions of Mexico are
beginning to attract their merited attention.
Jioth the domestic and foreign
press devote increased attention to the
matter. .Both the Pacific and the gulf
coasts of the republic contain large
tracts of finest cabinet woods, from
which, however, on [y small quantities
are exported. The woods, which in
American markets are in constant demand
at good prices, are recklessly
burne I as common fuel. Few branches
of industry are more surely prolitable
than this, and if capitalists would give
the matter due attention they would
develop a large and almost unexplored
source* of wealth for themselves and
of beneiit for the country. If a company
were organized for large export
of these woods to the United States
and Europe, the results would certainly
be gratifying.
Of Doctor Hugh J. Glenn, of California,
the extensive wheat farmer
who was recently shot by his discharged
bookkeeper, the San Francisco
Jiulletin says: "Doctor (Jlenn
was one of the remarkable men of this
age. Educated as a physician, an unexpected
event made him a landholder,
and in a few years he became
the largest farmer on the globe, and
the only wheat-grower in America
who chartered his own ships and sold
by telegraph his own grain in Europe,
dispensing with middle men entirely.
His payments for labor and supplies
on his great ranch have reached as
high as 1600,000 in a single year. In

ranch in Oregon, stocked with

profits elated hiin. Last summer his
finest wheat field took fire, and a $100,000
crop was destroyed in two hours;

sleep for months. Physically, I)r.
Glenn was an almost perfect man.

hours a day without fatigue, and has
often done it when personally superintending
his ranches long distances
apart. Dr, Glenn wa3 an indulgent
father,and there never was anything too
good for his family. He was a popular
man in his own neighborhood, which,
for so large an employer, is high
praise. When he ran for governor he
received every vote at Jacinto except
three. His untimely death was a terrible
shock to his many friends all
over the State."

If stung or bitten by an insect,
snake or animal, apply spirits of hartshorn
very freely with a soft rag, because
it is one of the strongest alkalies,
and is familiar to most persons. The
substance which causes the so-called
poison from bites or stings is, as far as
is ascertained, generally acid. Hence
the hartshorn antagonizes it in proportion
to the promptitude with which it
is applied. If no hartshorn is at
hand, pour a cup of hot water on a
cup of cooking soda or saleratus,
or even the ashes of wood
just from the stove or fireplace, because
all these are strong alkalies, and
hartshorn is only best because it is the
strongest.

During a brief visit to the ancient town of Warwick,
B. I., recently, our agent extended his trip to the
southeastern extremity of the town, to look abou
among the wonderful Improvements which have been
made in the appearance of Warwick Neek during a
comparatively brief period, and while con versing on this
subject with Col. Benjamin S. Hacard, the popular
proprietor of the Warwick Neck Hotel, he learned that
the greater part of the handsome summer residences
had been erected inside of a doten years; and he also
learned that Col. Hazard had been a great sufferer from
a chronlo disease of the kidneys and bladder over fifteen
Tears, the most painful form of It being a stoppage or
retention of the urine, which was so rer7 seme at timee
as to disable him for his accustomed work, and eren
confine him to the bed, when a surgeon's assistance
would be required to relieve hiss. He was being doctored
a large part of the time, bat coald get no permanent
reliof. At times his sufferings were terrible from
(harp, cutting pains through the kidneys and bladder;
and he had suffered so long and so sere rely that he had
become discouraged of getting well again, especially a*
the doctor stated that It waa doubtful if a man of hia
age, with such a complicated disease of long standing,
ould be cured. But last summer, when he was suffering
Intensely from one of these attaoks, a gentleman
who waa boarding at his hotel urged and persuaded him
to try a bottle of Hunt's Bemedy, as be had known of
some wonderful cures effected by It.
Mr. Hazard says he had no faith in it, bat consented
reluctantly to try it; and after taking it only two days
the intense pains and aches had disappeared, and be
commenced to gain strength rapidly, and in lees than
wsek was attending to his accustomed work, and haa
never had a return of the pains. Mr. Hazard Is over
seventy years of age, and on the 36th of November, 1883,
when our agent met him, although it was a very cold
and blustering day, he was in the field with his team at
work pulling and loading turnipa, aa hale and hearty a
man as you could wish for, whereas last August he waa
unable to stand up to oversee the work then going on is
this same field.
Hunt's Remedy had given him health and strength
again, and he recommends It to his relatives and friends,
several of whom are now taking it, as he considers it
moet excellent remedy for all diseases of kidneys or
bladder.
