Wilson of Seward, arrived on Friday evening for a visit with relatives in this neighborhood The Reading dated tor last Friday evening by Prof. Wilson, was post poned till Tuesday evening, August r 1st.

This must lie gratifying news for an American to hear. An Erratic Writer. When Thomas Bailey Aldrich was a small salariod clerk in George W. Carlebm’s book store on Broadway, Fitz James O’Brien was in the habit of dropping in to see him, and one day came in rather more than half seas over. Aldrich decided to take him across the street to a hotel and put him to bod. Cautiously and carefully he led O’Brien, but beforo ho bad got half way across a frieud stopped him and asked: “Why do you want to bother with the fellow. Let him go.” “I will not,” retried Aldrich. “Ho borrowed a dollar from me a few days ago, and I can’t afford to let anything happen to him.” At another time, when ho was not strictly sober, O’Brien fonnd himself out of funds. He wandered into a pub lisher’s office and asked for $25. This was refused him. Angrily seizing a placard O’Brien reversed it and made in big letters on the blank side: “One of ——-'s authors. I am starving." Ty ing a string to the card, O’Brien placed it around his neck and paraded up and down the street, to the great amuse ment of a large crowd. Ho was of course requested to desist, bnt nothing stopped his mad course until a $0 bill was presented to him as a compromise. —San Francisco Argonaut. The Devil Tree. The devil, dragon or octopus tree/as it is variously called in the different stories told of it, is one of those travel ers’ myths which by diut of repetition have worked their way into public be lief. The man eating or devil tree is, aocording to the story, a huge plant somewhat resembling a palm, save thut the central fronds are provided with 8barp teeth, which, when the leaves are folded over toward the center, grasp with a death grip the man or animal unfortunate enough to be inclosed with in. In some of the stories this tree is also provided with long arms, wbioh reach out and seize unwary travelers, raise their bodies in the air and drop them into the center of the circle of devouring leaves. It is hardly necessary to say that there is no such tree and that the story has its origin in the dangers of travers ing a tropical thicket, where travelers have received serious injuries from fall ing over vines and among thorny plants, Where men are frequently attacked and killed by serpents. The devil tree is lo cated by various story tellers in Borneo, in Sumttra and in the forest recesses of Other tropical islands, and whenever inquiry is made for it it is to be found somewhere else.—St Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. A Panama Hat, “The life of a panama hat—that ia, If it ia a good one to start with,” re marked an admirer of that style of head gear, “compares somewhat with the life of the owner of it. One cun run through either in a hurry or hang on for a long time if it is desired. If care fully kept, a panama hat should last all the way from 10 to 40 years. 1 know a gentleman who resides in east Washington who has owned and steadi ly worn daring the summer mouths a panama hut for nearly 40 years. It has been bleached every couple of ycurs ainoe and retrimmed and relined, and it la today to all intents and purposes a* good as wbeu I first saw it SO years ago. “1 know of another panama hat, now worn by a physician in this uity, which baa had almost as long a life. Long l<e fore be got it his father wore it. 1 know dozens of them which have been in use from 10 to 20 years. The lining wears out, but the body of the hat keeps good. Of course care has to be used to keep them such a h ug time, hut the panama Itself la almost indestructible. The original coat of the bats that I refer to was not exorbitant, none of them coal ing over |14.“— Washington Mar srastM i-iha aiiiirur Y»ocan't keep a goad thing donn.
