How it Seizes its Victim, and Crushos Him to Death--A M,st Barbarous Proceeding. A letter from C trl Locho, the dis coverer, contains the following con corning that most wonderful pro duction of nature, the man-eating tree : If you can inigino a pilcapplo eight foot high, and thick in propor tion, resting upon its base, and de nuded of leaves, you will have a good idea of the trunk of the tree, which, however, was not the color of tlhe banana, but a dark, dingy brown, and apparently hard as iron. From the apex of this truncated cone (at least two feet in dianeter) eight leaves hung sheer to the ground, like doors swung back on their hinges. Thso leaves, which were joined at the tree at regular intervals, were about eleven or twelve feet long, and shaped very much like the American agave, or century plant. They were two feet through in their thickest part, and throo feot wide, tapering to a sharp point that looked like a cow's horn, very convex, the outer (hut now under) surface, and on the inner (now uppe) rsurfamce slightly concave. J'his concave surface was thickly set with very strong thorny hooks, like those upon the head of the toazel. These leaves, hanging thas limp and lifeless, dead green in color, had in appearance the massive strength of oak fibre. The apex of the cone was a round, white concave figure, like a smaller plate set within a larger one. This was not a llo ver, but a receptacle, and there exuded into it a clear treacly liquid honey sweet, and possessed of violent in toxicating and soporific proport.es From underneath the rim, so to speak, of th undermost plate a so - ries of long, hairy, green tendrils stretched in every direction toward the horizon. These wero seven or eight feet iong each, and tapered from four inches to a half inch in diameter, yet they stretched out stifily as iron rods. Above these (from between the upper and under cup) six white, almost trans parent palpi reared themselves to ward the sky, twirling and twist ing with a marvelous incessant mtion, yet const.ntly reaching upwatd. Then the natives sar rounded one of the women and urged her with the points of their javelins, until slowly and with do, spairing face she climbed up the stalk of the tree and stood on the summit of the cope, the palpi twirl ing about her. "Tisk ! Tisk !" (Drink ! Drink !) cried the mcen, and stooping she drank of the viscidl fluid in the cup, rising instantly with wild frenzy in her face and convulsive chorea. in her limbs. But she (lid not jump down as she seemed to intend to (10. Oh, no ! TLe1 atrocious cannibal that had1( been so inert and deadl camoe to sudden savage life. Thle silender, delicate palpi, with the fury of starved serpents, quivered for a moment over her h<a 1, then as if by instinct, with demoniac in telligence, fastened upon01 her in sudlden coils round and round her neck and arms; then, while her awful seams and yet more awful laughter rose wilder, to be instantly strangled down again into a gurgling moan, the tendrils, one after another, like green serpfen ts, wi th bru tal energy andl infernal rap)idi ty, rose, retract ed themselves, and wrapped her about in fold after fold ever tighton, ing, with the cruel swiftness andl savage tenaicity of' anacondlas fasi tening upon their prey. it was the batbarity of the Latocoon without its beauty-this strange, horrible mu r den. And now the great leaves rose slowly and stiffly like the arms of a derrick, erected themselves in the air, app)roaching one another, and closed about the dead and ham pered victim with the silent force of any hydraulic press and the ruthless purpose of a thumb-screw. A moment more, and while I could see the basis of the groat leaves pr'essing more tightly toward each other, from their interstices there trickled down~ the stalks streams of vi8cid honeylike fluid mingled horri bly with the blood and oozing viseera of the victim.

It is thought the European con gross will result in peace. The Pennsylvania Republicans aro trying to revolt against Cameron. The Potter Committee is still damaging Matthews and Sherman. The charge of fraud in the eloc.. tion of Senator Grover, of Oregon, has boon disinissed by the Senate. A serious riot occurred at Quebec last week. The mob plundered stores and had to be disporsed by the military. Bob Toombs is for Stephens for Congress, whether he is an Inde pendent or not. Old Bob is some.. what of a fraud. The House by a vote of 234 to 14 has resolved that Hayes can be un-, seated only by impeachment. This destroys Radical thunder. The North Carolina Democrats have n. minated W. H. N. Smith for Chief Justice, and Thos. S. Asho and J. H. Dillard for Associate Justices. The conferenco report on the army bill has been agreed to ; the army strength being limited to 25, 000, and the section prohibiting the use of the army to enforce civil law being retained. Senator Hill, of Georgia shows that forty-two "Confederate": Con gressmen agreed to prevent fillibus. tering and thereby secured the adoption of the report of the Elec toral Commission, which prevented civil war. The Comtesse do Paris has given birth to a daughter. The baby was born at 1, a. in., to the delight of the superstitious, for in the House of Orlo Ans children coming into the world after midnight and before noon are declared to be lucky. Old Louis Phillippo was particularly superstitious on this score, and never failed on these solemn family occasions to watch the clock with anxiety till the fated hour had. struck. MRs. TILTON's NAMs DROPPED FRON THE RoLL OF PLYMOUTu COIUacII.,Tho examining committee of Plymouth Church met Monday night to con sider the charge of Mrs. Barbara Walton that the recent confession by Mrs. Tilton of adultery with Henry Ward Beecher was a slander on her pastor, and that therefore she was not a lit person to be connected with tho chutch. Mrs. Tilton had been duly notified that her examina tion would take place that night. It was not expected, however, that she would appear personally. The session was held with closed doors. Mrs. Tilton sent in a letter in which, it is understood, she reiterated the statement made concerning Mr. Beoecher in her confession, This wvas road over by the committee and dliscussed at length. At the close of the session the members of the cominmit too hurried away, declining to say what conclusion was arrived at, but it was subsequently ascer tained that they resolved to drop Mrs. Tilton's name fro;n the roll. A LIvELY TILT.--While Rev. Dr. Mecynardie was quoetly sitting last Friday afternoon onf the piazza of Nicholson's Hotel. awvaiting the arrival of a train, he was approach ed by A. S. Wallace, former Con gressmen from this district. The following dialogue enlsuod(: Wallac-(mn a bantering, swag gering style)-"I believe I don't re member your nam~e." Dr. Moynardi-"It's immaterial ; mine is an obscure name." Wallace-"Oh I I believe your name is Meynardio ?" Dr. Meynardio-"That's my name. WVallac-"I have seen your name in the newspapers ; some men man age to get their names in the papers." Dr. Meynardie-"Yes; that is often done by hackneyed politicians and sp)avined Congressmen." Wallace--'You wore in the army, I believe ?" Dr. Meynardie-"Yes ; as a chap lain." Wallace-"Do you not foel that you have prayed in vain ?" Dr. Meynardio -"By no moans ; though my prayers were not ene Itirely answered then, they have Ibeen fully answered since ; Sonth Carolina is freo from the rule of Icarpet-baggers and: eealawags"-" OAceterRept
