The Man-Kating 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 the trunk, of the tree, which, however, was not the color of an an an a, but a dark, d'mgy, brown, and apparently j as 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 hack on their hinges, These leaves, which were joined at the top of the tree at regular intervals, were about eleven or twelve feet long, and shaped very much like the leaves of an American agave or century plant. Thoy are two feet through in their thickest point and three feet wide, tapering to a sharp point that looked like a cow's horn, very convex on the outer (hut now under surface) and on the under (now upper) surface slightly concave. Uhis concave face was thickly set with strong thorny hooks like those lipon the head of the teazle. The leaves, hanging thus limp and lifeless, dead green in color,4iad in appearance the massive strength of oak fibre. The apex of the cone was a round, while, concave figure, like a smaller plate set within a larger one. This was not a flower, but a receptacle, and there exuded it iiitb a clear treacly liquid honey, sweet, and possessed of violent intoxicating and soporific properties. From underneath tho rim (so to spetik) of the undermost plate a scries 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 in diameter, yet they stretched out stiflly as iron rods. Ahovu these (from between the upper nnd under clip) six while, almost trarsparent palpi reared themselves toward tin sky\ twirling and twisljug with a marvellous incessant motion, yet constantly reaching upward. Thin as reeds, and frail as quills, apparent ly, wcro yet five or six feet tall, and were so constantly aud vigorously in motion, with such a/subtle,sinuous, silent, throbbing against the air, with their suggestions of serpents iluycd, yet dancing on their tails. My obser vatious on this occasion were suddenly interrupted by tho natives, who had been shrieking around the tree with their shrill voices, and chanting what llcudrick told me were propitiatory hymns to the great tree devil. "With still wilder shrieks and chants thcy^nowsurrounded one el the women and . urged her with points of their javolins until slowly, and with despair ing face, she climbed up the stalk of the tree and stood on the summit of* tho^conc, the palpi swirling all about her. "Tsik !" "Tsik !" (Drink '.drink 1) 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 limhs. I3ut she did not jump down, as she seemed intend to do. Oh, no ! The atrocious cannibal f ree, that had beeil? so inert and dead, came to sud do'ti savage life. The slender delicate palpj with the iu ry of starved serpents; quivered a moment over her head, then, as if instinct with demoniac in telligence, fastened upon licr in sud den coils round and round her neck and anus, 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 after another, like great green serpents, with brutal energy and infernal rapidity, rose, contracted themselves, and wrapped her about in folds after folds, ever lightening with cruel swiftness and savage tenacity of anacondas fastening upon thoir prey. It Whs the barbarity of the Laocuou without its beauty?this strange hpr ar'^Sf nuTuVd^^JHul how the great leaves rose slowly and stillly, like the arms of u derrick, erected th critic* ves in the air, approached one another, and closed about the dead and hampered victim with the silent force of a hydraulic press and the ruthless ! purpose of a thumbscrew. A moment more, and while I could sec the bases 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 nround me, yelling madly 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 Hackmau in Court. 'Your name is?is?what?, asked the Court. 'Davey, sir?George Davey.' 'Ami you work at?what?' 'Drive hack.' 'Ah?ha !' smiled his Honor, ac quiring sudden interest; 'this is worth twenty dollars to mc. You are one of those men .who stand on tbe edge of the walk at tho depots and shout '1 lax !' at people.' '] have to git passengers,sir,' 'Don't suss me back, Mr. Davey?1 known all aoout you ! Only the oth er day, as I returned from n Mayday party in the country, there were one million live hundred and sixty-live thousand three hundred and ninety two of you tin the curb stone, and every one of you yelled 'Ilax !' at inc. One seized my satchel, another grabbed at my coat, ami another pulled mc backward by the coat tails. 1 believe you arc that man !' ' 'Deed. sir. J ha in I.' '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 sitting up along side a house." ?That's too fine a point to argue. Were you drunk ?' Only sprung; sir; only a little sprung.' 'That's just ns bad in the sight of the law, and ) ought to fine you 8700.' ' G rash us ? bull could hover pay that!' 'No; my object would ho to keep you in prison all your days.' 'Ob, let up on a feller,' pleaded the prisoner. 'Tins \s the first time, and it shall be the last. I've a large fami ly, sir, and they need my wages to get their bread.' Hia Honor took a Ion'' time to think, and then replied 'It is wrong to let you off. The citizens will condemn me, and the newspaper* will blow at me, hut 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 'Il?x !' at a man. do you smile, and softly whisper: 'sir, can I have tho pleasure of conveying you to some designated point ?' Prom ise me this?' The prisoner promised, and was al lowed to disappear, limping sadly with a sore heel. An Exciting Coat est. Last winter two of my neighbors, Mr. Miller and Mr. Grant, lost their wives upon the same clay, and both of the funerals took place three days af terward, the interments being made at the cemetery about the ?aiuc hour. As the two funeral parties were com ing out of the burying ground, Miller met Grant, ami 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 nn 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 he two best you know/ - ^ijjfflpM ^ttt? Miller.?* 1 es, I know. I know well enough that your wite couldn't hold a caudle to mine.' Grant.?'She c o u 1 d n ' t, hey? Couldn't hold a candle. Why she could dance all round Mrs, Miller every day in the week including Sun days,' and tint half try! Sim was an unmitigated iiiigci lake her any way you would.'' Miller.?'Oh, she was, was she? Well I don't want to be personal but if 1 owned a cross eyed 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 boxes, and lament that ?' (1 raut.?'Better be cross eyed than wear the kind of a red nose that your wife flourished around this coiniir ui ty. I bet it'll hup* a hole through the cofliu lid. And you pretend you're sorry she's stepped out! But you can't impose on me! 1 know you're so glad you can hardly hold in. She war* the chuck lc-hcadcdsl woman that ever disgraced a grave yard; that's what she was.' Miller.?'If you abuse my wife, I'll knock the head off of you.' Grant.?'I'd like tu sac you try it.' Then the two disconsolate widowers engaged in a hand-to-hand combat, and after fighting aw hile in the snow the mourners pulled them apart just as Mr. Miller was about to insist upon his wife's virtues by biting off Miri Grant's nose. Hill Mnlniic. In these stagi ant times people should be grateful for anything that will provoke a smile. Two old color ed ladies met recently iu a grocery store in Columbia, und, while making their purchases, of course "talked church." 'Well,' said one, 'Brother Goldin lfcis Ibftt his house.' 'Why, how he lose it ?' asked the other. 'Well, you know ho borrowed money on ten that 'sociation, whatever you call it, thai lends money (build ing anil loan suggested u bystander); that's it. Well, he got tie money outcn him, 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 Go ding, and takes tho place bodaeioiisly from him.' Up to this portion of the narrative tho countenance of tho liateuibg shter hud been expressive only of a pdlito interest* ond mournful Christian sympathy in the misfortunes of Broth er Goldin; but when the speaker went on to any: 'And now Brother Goldiu wants wc members of the church to Hing in and pay the debt for him/ n. fearful change came over that intelli gent face?her eyes flashed fire. 'Jle do/ fte cried emphatically, placing her hands upon her hips, and striking a .determined attitude,'he do, does he ? Well, I can jist tell you one thing: I yearns all I git, and cf Bill Malono never gits paid for that bouse tell he gits it outen Marider? he'll never git it while his head's hot. Whose Bill Malone, 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 ocbeliever, or 'ho wouldn't, be so hnrd down on a merer her 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 marched out of the store. When last heard from she was still abusing 'old Bill Malone/ How to Calculate Interest and What it Will do. The follow)ng rules are so simple and so ti uc according to all business usage, that every banker, broker, merchant or clerk should post them up for reference. There being n6 such thing as a fraction in it, there is scarcely any liability to error or mis take. By no other arithmetical pro* cess can the desired information ha obtained by so few figures: ?Six . per cent?Multiply any given 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 percent. 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 be the interest of such sum for the time required, at right per cent. What it will do. Ifn mechanic or clerk saves o:dy 2} cents a day, from the time he is twenty-one until ho is threescore and ten, the aggregate, with interest, will amount to 82,900; and a daily saving of 97} cents reaches the important sum of859,000. A six pence saved daily will provide a sum of 87,000?sufficient to purchase* a good farm. ' v 1 ' j There arc few employers'who can-' I not save daily, by abstaining from the use of cigars, tobacco, liquor, etc., twice or ten times the amount of the six cent piece. Every person should provide fcr old age, and the man in business who can save a dollar a day will evcntunlhj find himself possessed of over $100,000. 'It isn't so very late?only a quarter of twelve.' 'How dare you sit there and tell that lie? I was awake whon you came in, and looked at my watch ?it was three o'clock. 'Well, isn't three a quarter of twelve. i.iK en i: ss ics".
