THE MAN-EATING TREE.
o
A IoRRIrL1 PLANT OF MADAoAS
CAit ISLAND.
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.

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.

Dr. Moynardi-"It's immaterial ;

Wallace-"Oh I I believe your

Dr. Meynardio-"That's my

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,

Dr. Meynardie-"Yes ; as a chap
lain."
Wallace-"Do you not foel that
you have prayed in vain ?"
Dr. Meynardio -"By no moans ;
