JUtaong other anecdotes which hare been handed down at Washington, was one of an incident at the table of President John Adflfms, when Gouv- erneur Morris, then a Senator in Con­ gress from the State of New York, was one of the invited. It was at the time of the feud existing between the Presi­ dent and Gen, Hamilton, arising from animadversions of the open the sudden compromise of our differences with the French Republic. Mr. Morris was called on by Mrs. Adams for a toadt. "Madame," said .he, "I will give the health of my Mend Hamflton. The lady indignantly replied: "Sir, that is a toast never drank at this table." "Suppose, then, madame," was the cool rajoinder, "we drink it now for the first time?" "Mr. Morris," exclaimed the excited hostess, "if yon. persist I shall invite the ladies to withdraw!" "Perhaps," retorted the imperturba­ ble Senator, "it ia time for them to re­ tire." The signal wa3 given, and as the ladies rose in obedience to it, the Sen­ ator sprang from his seat and stumped on his wooden leg to the door, threw it wide open, and, with his constitutional boldness, fairly bowed Mrs. Adams and her lady guests' put of the room. Among the many stories told by Thurlow Weed' about Martin Van Buren, was one narrating an incident which occurred on the deck of a Hud­ son River steamboat, on the way from Albany to New York. The merits of Mr. Van Buren were being discussed .when the boat touched at Kinderhook and "The Little Magician," as he was called, came on board. One of the party had been dwelling upon his non- committalism, and complaining that "a plain answer to a plain question was never yet elicited from him. "I'll wager the champagne for the company, added he, "that one of us shall go down to the cabin and ask Mr. Van Buren the simplest question which can be thought of, and he will evade a direct answer. Yes; and I'll give him leave too, to tell Mr. Van Buren why he asks the question, and that there is a bet depending on his reply." This seemed fair enough. One of the party was deputed to go down and try the experiment. He found Mr. Van Buren, whom he knew well, in the saloon, and said po him: "Mr. Van Buren, some gentlemen on the upper deck have been accusing you of non-committalism, and have just laid a wager that you would not give a plain answer to the simplest question, and deputed me to test the fact. Now, sir, allow me to ask you: Where does the sun rise?" Mr. Van Buren's brow contracted; he hesitated a moment, and then said: "The term east and west ere con­ ventional, but I--" "That'll do!" interrupted the inter- * rogator, "we've lost the bet!" Abraham Lincoln became acquainted with Mr. Blaine in Illinois during the memorable campaign with Douglas in 1858. Mr. Blaine wa3 corresponding from the scene of contest with his paper in Maine, and in one of his letters ne predicted' that Lincoln would be de­ feated for Senator by Douglas, but would.beat Douglas for President in I860. The letter was copied in several IJlinota papers,- and Mr. Lincoln cut it out and carried it in his small memo­ randum book until long after he was inaugurated as President. It naturally laid the foundation of oordial friend­ ship between the two. Moreover, at the Ghicago Convention in 1860, Mr. Blaine was almost the only New England man who wAs for Lincoln from the start. To his efforts was credited the division of the Maine delegation on the first ballot, and that was "the light in the east" which heralded speedy victory. When the movement was made against Mr. Lincoln the winter preced­ ing the campaign of 1864, Mr. Blaine was the person with whom Mr. Lincoln constantly conferred about Maine, and I was present at a conference between the two when Mr. Lincoln requested Mr. Blaine to proceed to Maiue and see if there was an adverse movement there. Mr. Blaine reported by tele­ graph to Mr. Lincoln, and he sent also to me a telegram, which was made pub­ lic in the Washington papers and through the Associated Press. The Senate passed a resolution in the Pierce administration accepting a por­ trait of John Hampden, tlie great Eng­ lish patriot, and directiug it to be placed properly in the Executive Man­ sion. This portrait was presented by John McGregor, Esq., of London, and was a worthy and acceptable gift. Some uncertainty seemed to be attached to its parentage, but the inquiry was nar- rowel down to the two eminent ?ainters, Anthony Vandyck and Sir 'eter Lely, contemporaries not only of each other, but of Cromwell, Hamp­ den, and the Charleses. Its fidelity is unquestioned, and it therefore is a rare and precious possession of our Govern­ ment and people. The circumstances that Sir Peter Lely painted Cromwell, as the latter strictly ordered him, with all the indurations, warts, and pimples on that iron visage, may favor the idea that this picture of Hampden, who was Cromwell's oousin, is also Sir Peter's. Trees. Near an old German castle is a lime which a boy, accused of killing his master, planted with its head in the earth, to attest his innocence if it grew and flourished. Two friends were at­ tacked by robbers in the wood?, and one of them was killed. The robbers having been put to flight by a flash of lightning, the surviving friend, found kneeling at the side of his dead com­ panion, was condemned to death foi bis murder. On his way to execution he planted a stick, which he adjured to take root and grow if he was innocent; as, of course, it is proved that he was by the beautiful apple tree that the stick became. Somewhat similar is the account of the Luther elm near Worms. A bigoted old Catholic lady, planting a stick in the ground, declared her resolution not to accept the new faith till that dry stick became green. The fact that it did so proves the in­ terest taken by trees in the preserva­ tion of orthodoxy; but it would seem that the elm tree takes a special inter­ est in matters of this sort, for is not the elm tree the Hymbol of St. Zenobius, when the coffin of that saint was carried past it a dry elm tree suddenly burst into leaf? Another way by which trees reveal their inherent sympathy with humanity is by bleeding. Both Virgil and Ovicl tell the story of Polydore, one of Priam's sons, intrusted to tho care of a king of Thrace, apd by him killed after the taking off Trovfrom his grave tl)ere grew a myrtle, whiSh, when Eneas plucked. ita boughs, bled in a re })uman fashion, much to that diflmftj* The present writer himself has searched for an oak tree in » Surrey wood which was said to show a blood-red sap in memory of a murder committed in its vicinity. At all events, if a deed of blood had been committed near the spot, the tree in question had forgotten all about it, for no blood issued from its wound, and a disbelief in bleeding trees had to add itself to many another negative conclusion. The peculiarities, no less than the existence, of trees admit of mythological explanation; and strangely abused those explanations often are. Here, for instance, is one of the jagged form of the oak leaves, an explanation of the same order as fiiat which traces the minute holes in the leaves of the St. John's wort to the needle with which the devil pricked it as a punishment for its devil dispelling powers. The devil agreed with a man that he should have the latter's soul at the time when the oak leaves fell; but when he came to look at the oak in the autumn he found it still in leaf, nor did it part with its old leaves till the new ones began to sprout. In his rage and dis­ appointment he scratched the leaves so vehemently that they have been in con­ sequence jagged ever since.--Gentle­ man's Magazine. In Central Sondes. In shady nooks sit picturesque groups of natives in all kinds of combinations discussing the news of the day, hag­ gling over a purchase, or busily en­ gaged in embroidery or making up of gowns and trousers. This trade, we may note, is here entirely in the hands of men, who ply the needle with much skill. Farther on we meet a courtier gorgeously dressed, looking in his voluminous garments a very Falstaff in bulk, as he goes ambling past on his still more richly decorated horse, bent on a little exercise in the cool of the evening. Of the personal appearance of this aristocrat I shall not now speak, but we may take notice of the horse. By good-luck here hap­ pens to be one standing waiting to be mounted, so we can more conveniently examine steed and trappings in detail The animal before us is a very fair specimen of a Soudanese horse. It is somewhat lanky, with little beauty of line, but it is fiery-eyed, and its tail and mane, being uncut, give it a some­ what wild appearance. Soudanese horses are generally very vicious and difficult to manage, stallions alone be­ ing used for riding purposes. They are specially trained for sudden for­ ward charges, to stop within their own length when in full gallop, to turn with equal rapidity, and away like the wind out of harm's way. At other times the favorite mode of progression is by making the horse's left legs simul- tanelousy alternate with those of the right side, a method of traveling which is very pleasant and easy. The riders are fond of making their horses prance and plunge about with fierce and fiery action. There is nothing which the central Soudanese is so proud of as his horse, and nothing to which he devotes more time and attention than its ap­ pearance and trappings. The head­ gear is almost one mass of brass-plated ornaments, little bells, and a thou­ sand tassels and flaps of leather in yel­ low, light blue, or dark red. The beautifully plaited reins would almost hold an elephant for strength, while the bits are perfect instruments of tor­ ture.--Joseph Thompson, in Harper's Magazine. Apachcs on a Spree. No drink-loving old topers ever en­ joyed their liquor so much as have the Apaches Whenever they could procure it, a vice, however that is rapidly sub­ siding as the tribes are concentrated at agencies more directly under the eyes of watchful authorities. Mezcal, made from that plant by the Mexicans, found its way in days gone by when popular tion was scattering and the law lax, into Apache maws with every trade and dealing between the two races. From corn they made a fermented drink called tiz-win, which is not as strong as the corn whisky of civilzation, but their peculiar method of drinking it com­ pensates for its lack of strength. For some three days before it has reached its highest point of fermentation not a single piece of food is swallowed. At the end of that period they fill them­ selves to their utmost capacity with the unclarified tiz-win. Although half starved, it takes but a few moments to make them feel as if they has a major general's rations for six months pre­ vious, while the most conspicuous effect is to swell their bump of combative- ness to an inordinate degree. If a large number have indulged in this liquor, serious outbreaks and disturb­ ances are almost sure to ensue, espe­ cially if other bands of Indians pr any whites are near enough for them to reach before this temporary, stimulated combativeness has worn away. In fact after having, when sober, decided to go upon the warpath, by far the most im­ portant preliminary is the manufacture of hugh quantities of tiz-win. Its pe­ culiar composition, and the no less pe­ culiar manner of taking the liquor, gives it a most lasting effect upon the system, and an Indian with his stomach distended with it is said to have ahead of him a six or eight days' "spree," and during all this time his warlike qual­ ities are sure to be most conspicuous.-- Minneapolis Tribune. A Dumas Story of Palmers ton. Dumas loved to laugh at the expense of English stiffness and reserve. One of his best stories was this:. One day Victor Hugo and I were invited to dine with the duke of Decazes. Among the guests were Lord and Lady Palmerston --of course, this happened before the February revolution. At midnight tea was handed around. Victor Hugo and I were sitting side by side chatting merrily. Lord and Lady Palmerston had arrived very late, and there had consequently been no opportunity to introduce us before dinner; after dinner it seems it was forgotten. English custom, consequently, did not allow ns to be addressed by the illustrous couple. All at once young Decazes comes up to us and says: "My dear Dumas, Lord Palmerston begs you will leave a chair free between you and Victor Hugo." I hastened to do as he wished. We moved awav from each other and placed an empty chair between us. Thereupon enters Lord Palmerston, holding the hand of his wife, leads her up to us and invites her to sit down on the empty chair--all this without saying a word. "My lady," he srt*l to his wife, "what time have you?" She looked at her watch and answered: "Thirty- five past 12. ' "Well, then," said the great minister, "remember well that this day, at thirty-live minutes past 12, vou were sitting between Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo, an honor which you probably never will enjoy again in your lifetime." Then he offered his arm again to his wife and took her back to her seat without say­ ing & word to us--l>ecause we had not 'been presented.--Cor. Home Jour mil. FACTS ABOUT FANS. mm of the Host Fuhlonibte and Blah Priced. It was written of an English act- "Aiinme her fashion if yoaean v ' And catch the grace of her fan." _ ^ And what countless numbers of grate­ ful breeze compellers are now waving over this summer-heated land of ours! "Gauze fans are all the rage this season," said a salesman in one of Bos­ ton's largest retail stores to a reporter, "and heliotrope is the favorite shade. The tendency is toward still larger fans. Perhaps the most stylish, and at the same time the most showy fan, is one made of ostrich feathers, with a mara­ bout aigrette in the center. It is called the Langtry fan by some dealers and by others the Mary Anderson, and comes in all colors. It doesn't close up, and the wavy tips of the feathers make it very graceful and pretty." China is called the fatherland of fans, and their use has been traced almost as far back aa history reaches. While they are now made of ivory, wood, leather, silk, paper, feathers, etc., tho earliest fans were probably the leaves of trees or the wings of birds. Fans were introduced into England about the beginning of the sixteenth century. In Shakespeare's day no lady thought of going abroad without a fan, and in speaking of a fop in "Love's Labor Lost," he says: •Oh, a most dainty man t " - To Bee him walk before a lady and bear a fan." When Elizabeth died the royal ward­ robe contained no less than twenty- seven fans. Fan exhibitions have been given in England, and an opera fan was once brought out in London giving the box, numbers* and names of sub­ scribers. The Italian fan of the last century was often finely painted after some mythological or sacred subject or one of tlie great masters. The Spanish fan, nicely colored, represented some incident of gallantry or love, the stick being of mother of pearl, gaily carved and gilt. The small Dutch ivory fan was beautifully painted by one of the masters of the Low Countries, and the G erman fan possessed a marked nation­ ality, with its painted ivory stick some­ times ingeniously carved a corbeille. In the hand of the Spanish beauty it is well-known that the fan is made to express love, hope, disdain, anger, and other emotions. The "dagger fan" of China is an instrument for the still more powerful expression of the feel­ ings. It is an elegant imitation in lacquer of the common folding fan, but in reality is the sheath of a deadly blade. The uses of the fan in the Flowery Kingdom, however, are almost endless. Maps are printed on the face and important events are frequently published by its means. At the time of the missionary riots in 1873 at Pekin popular ill-feeling was excited against the missionaries by inflammatory pic­ tures on fans. All over the Empire the fan is as much used by men as women. The folding fan generally obtains, and it is stuck in the high boot of the full- dresse I Chinaman or at the back of the neck in the coliarless jacket of the coolie. The schoolmaster raps knuckles of unruly boys with it, the beggar holds it out for alms, the higher Chinese circles white stretched tightly over both sides of a narrow frame of a round, sexagonal, octagonal, or polygonal form is con­ sidered the ne plux ultra of elegant re­ finement, especially so when some charming study in flowers or landscape, painting appears on one side, and a verse addressed to the friend for whom it is intended, and signed by the author, is written on the other. An ode to the fan by an Oriental poet begins thus: "By thy aid gentle gales perennial blow." According to Chinese etiquette, a Chinaman on horseback or in a sedan chair, meeting au equal of lm acquain­ tance on foot, must dismount, be it only to make a passing bow; or two friends meeting in chairs should both dismount to salute. But to avoid the inconven­ ience of frequently stopping to dis­ mount at the appearance of every friend, it is allowable to hold the fan so as to screen the face from view, and the two may pass without ceremony, or as if they were strangers. Almost every large city, and certainly every division of the Chinese Empire, has its own characteristic fan. the and In silk Singing Sands of the Pacific. In one of the South Pacific island are some wonderful singing sands. These sands are in a small desert In the center of the desert are about a dozen cocoanut trees, and about five miles distant is the ocean. Ka Pule, a native guide, and myself reached tho trees about noon. Our horses, as well as ourselves, were about used up, trav­ eling through the deep sand under a blazing sun. As we lay stretched at at the root of the towering cocoanuts, the trade wind set in, cool and refresh­ ing, from the ocean. Notwithstanding the heat and our wearied condition, there was an enchantment about the situation that caused me to think of the beautiful stories I had read in my child­ hood. I began to feel the soft touch of slumber and all at once I heard a faint musical tinkling as if troops of farieswere coming to greet us as they used to do the enchanted princes in the olden days. I tried to locate the me­ lodious sounds. In all directions there was nothing but hot, glowing sand. I looked up--there was nothing but the beautiful tropical skv and the tremu­ lous atmosphere. Still louder sounded the music; it was all around us; it filled the air. I gazed toward the ocean, and there, apparently a short distance, was a beautiful lake, with its waves dashing upon the moss covered stones. It was not there when we first arrived at the place, and I became half convinced that it was the work of enohantment Ka Pule had fallen asleep, and, gazing at the lake and listening to the musio in the air, I rested my head against the rough bark of a tree. As I did so I heard the distant gurgling of a brook. I could plainly hear the water splash­ ing over the glistening stones and dying away in quiet eddies. I was more and more bewildered, and at length awoke Ka Pule. I told him what I had heard, and directed his attention to the lake. He explained that the seeming lake was a wailiula or mirage; that the sound of gurgling waters came from an underground stream, and that the music was cause ! by the stirring of flinty sands by the wind. Anyway, the whole experience was beautiful, and I have often said that I once made a visit to fairv land.--Stockton Mail. Ax odd practice prevails in regard to mourning for deceased relatives in Corea. Any one who has suffered such a loss goes about for a year wearing a kind of pointed basket on his head, which completely hides his face, and no one is permitted to address or speak to him. It was by adopting the mour­ ners bonnet as a disguise that the early Jesuit missionaries succeedod in enters ing the country and making thf jr. wft? about unquestioned by anybody. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCES. Two Cases in England of Historic Interest. • Mysterious disappearances have been far more numerous than hasty readers imagine--some permanent, some tem­ porary. I do not allude to modern ones within living men's memories, but to some past ones of thfilling interest, and about which very many people do not know much, except those who study and read ephemeral literature. The story of the "Man with the Iron Mask" most have heard of, but what is not BO well known is that though a general notion exists that this indi­ vidual was Mattheole, Minister of Parma, there is very strong evidence that he was really the Due de Beau­ fort, with whose mysterious disappear­ ance, in the latter half of the seven­ teenth century, we will commence our list. He was the grandson of Henry IV. of France and the fair Gabrielle, Duchess of Beaufort. He was a most adventurous man, and _ ever keeping Louis XIV.'s ministers in "hot water." He was the favorite of the fiery Paris mob, always an important factor in French government. Kidnaping political enemies was a common strata­ gem then on the Continent. Beaufort went to Canada with the French troops sent there on an expedition, and was never seen publicly again, having been, it was said, killed. But a rumor grew stronger and stronger that he was the mysterious captive who was in the Isle Ste. Marguerite, where he flung the silver dish out, which was picked up by the fisherman who owed his life to never having been taught to read. What made these rumors stronger was the knowledge that the prisoner was treated with all the honor and defer­ ence shown to royalty. Louis XIV. took great interest *in the veiled cap­ tive, whoever he was, and who died in the Bastile just twelve years earlier than the Grand Monarch. But the brilliant Due de Heaufort, though sought for by troops of friends, disap­ peared from all public gaze from the time he reached Canada. Next we will consider a very d'ffer- ent and much humbler person who mysteriously disappeared, and about whose disappearance as little is known now, after immense investigation, as there was 134 years ago. This was Elizabeth Canning, whose case set all England by the ears pro and con. On New Year's Day, 1753, she disappeared in Bishopsgate street, on her way to her mother's shop in Alder- manbury, then a street of small old- fashioned houses. Rewards were of­ fered, inquiries made, but the ill-lit streets, full of ruffians, and the absence of police, made any outrage possible. Nearly a month passed, when one night a spectral figure tottered into the Al- bermanbury shop, in whose emaciated face and form her mother hardly recog­ nized Elizabeth Canning. She said she had been imprisoned in a lonely house at Enfield. Two women were tried, convicted, and, under the then Draconian laws, sentenced to death. A reaction came. England wps divided into friends and foes of the girl. The women were pardoned and the girl was tried for perjury, convicted, and trans­ ported for seven years; but it was a nominal sentence, for she married in the convict settlement, throve, return­ ed home and died early. Very many considered her a martyr; her princi- {>les and demeanor wera uniformly re-igious, modest and quiet, and her character excellent. Many controver­ sies have been held, but of that mys­ terious disappearance we know just as much and just as little as did our an­ cestors in the reign of George II., who, by the way, took a personal interest in the inquiries.--London Tid-Biis. MILD, soothing, Catarrh Remedy. an£ healing is Dr. Sage's The Circus Wild West. About two weeks ago a Dakota far­ mer was approached by a stranger, who said: "What will you take for that little short-horned yearling out there in the yard?" "'Bout $15." "Is he gentle?" "Yes." "Never kicks?" "No." "No danger of butting a fellow over with his head ?" "Not a bit--my Children play with him whenever they take a notion." "Well, I guess I'll take him.

He acted so we had to tie him up with the elephants, give him a coat of red paint and call him the terrible man- eating joggle-wock, captured in. Cen­ tral Africa at great expense and loss of life.
