The younj , ' Gould couple took the best npartinuntM in the I'ahtco hotel , and duriiij , ' their htay < r' > t all possible pleas- tire out of the novel things of the I'u- cillc const. They ri.'ceived a fjrcat deal of attention , public and bouial , iilthou they endeavored to bo as quiet as iMM ble. One day wlu'ii her mail included a letter from a jHiot , who explained that she was a woman of tfroat talent and hintill fortune , fho uncloAod iv poum betfinniiiK with this verso : l'"ulr Etlltli , wn wclconia you here , And wish ,1011 lotij. life utul much Joy ; Though pom ; is the thcntricul xphcru , Swuct tlr ntiis of llfu you enjoy. There were M'vcn stiui/.as. and they told in rhyme how the ox-actress hail "proved that not-tation lee hiL'h was be yond a trim woman's reward. ' ' How in her theater days she Hindu the audi ences ' /from gallery to pit all entranced , and the thrall of her power enhanced. " It was the sweetest of taffy all the way through , and it ended with the follow ing extra neb : An uctrt'ss of talunt you proved , A luily of inanncrs scrunc , An urtist wtiosu tlccp piisslon inured , A brilliant tnoioty iiirun | , Mrs. Gould docs not deny that she was rather pleaned with thuull'nsivu coin- pliinunts , but s lie declares that she was tdioelced on receiving , two da.ys later , a note from the poutes-s intimating that a i > ecuniary reward would bo accepted. The mUhlro was to explicit as to men tion WOO as being about the right sum. No money was sent in responco to this request , however , though 1 infer that a souvenir of some sort was given. There is a jolly row in u musical cir cle of rather high society. There maybe bo no discord in Wagner music , as charged by those who do not appreciate the great musician , but there is no de nying the tcrrilicinharmony in the club organixed to boom and aduluto him. Fashionable society pays enormously for German opera at the Metropolitan opera , house , and \Vagner dominates the bills ; but some of his intense admirers felt that public appreciation was not as keen as it ought to lie and so they organized u society for the purpose of attuning thol general car "to hear Wagner aright. The preliminary arrangements wcl-e made with no more than the ordinary diUlculties that attend the formation of church choirs , labor parties , and move ments looking to the reform of society. .Director Stunton , of the Metropolitan , encouraged the enterprise in every way lie could , po-sibly with an cyo to the incidtMital advertising of the house , but the effort * was mainly an outcome of artistic enthusiasm. One member was Walter Damrosch , ton of iv famous ae- trc , father , and he is orchestral leader at the Metropolitan. The difll- culty arose over and around this young man. It is hard to Had out exactly the particulars , because the ordinary mem bers do not know thorn , and the particu lar members will not divulge them ; but it is certain that at a rehearsal where the affairs of the Wagner society were in troduced for discussion , a face was vir tually slapiKdaid ! the blow has knocked out the whole organization. The uni verse is not shaken by this shock , but it makes our hcstsociety talk , all thosamo. Two loud-talking women were in a Htrcet car , which was fulland the whole company was informed : " 1 was getting horrid fat nnd looked1 like n Dutch oven. In six months' time I reduced my weight forty pounds and the size of my waist full three in ches. " "My ! my ! how did you do it ? " loudly inquired the other. "By taking just as little food , drink nnd sloop as health would allow and by tight lacing. It nearly killed mo the first six weeks , but I was determined not to give in , and I didn't. I came nearest giving up on the matter of drink ; it was awful hard ! But now 1 go all day long with out drinking and don't feel any need of it or any discomfort. " ' Oh my ! I couldn't do that. " "You must ! " Talk about Spartan women. The expression on that face surpassed the pluck of all of 'cm. "You must draw your corset lacings tighter nnd tighter overv day. And that isn't all ; you must WKAUYOUIl COUSKT8 NIGHTS nnd not lee en the lacings , either. " By this time the attention of all in . the cur was directed to the two loqua cious women. Old men and young men tat with bated breath behind their newspaper shields , an air of expectancy on their faces and one or two scandal ized women who were hanging to the straps turned their hacks and listened. " 1 should have to go without sleep if I went to bed with my corsets on. " wild the Sparten woman's pupil , with u plaintive voice. "But you can't have n good figure MH- Icss you try for it. What is the side- ache and back-ache , and thirst and loss of sleep to u trim waist' ? Do you sup pose I would tuko back all my horrid fat and my three inches of waist for the sake of eating and drinking and sleep ing ? No ! If you' are wise , you'll put your t and your girls ( I notice they're not extremely slender ) into very strong olor-o-boaed corsets , lace yourselves up tightly , refuse food , drink and sleep , in fact , take no liquid whatever , let there be , no relaxation of the rules. Draw the lacings every night and morning you can , for there will not be much ap petite at llr.st to till you out and in the end you II bo as trim as I am. " Mark Twain will never bo hanged for modesty , nnd yethtiowes it to a retiring disposition that he is not a real knight at this blosscd minute. It is generally known thct the humorist is a mighty Hlirowd business man , and thatby being his own publisher , ho has made dollars out of his works whore other writers of etiual merits have made cents. But lie chooses to keep his name out of the commercial end of his enterprises , sav ing it for the authot'Ahip apex of them. Thus in the firm of Charles L. Webster & Co. , ho is the unmentioncd partner , although the principal one. Well , from the issuing of 'I wain's books the concern went into the Grant autobiog raphy , clearing nigh a quarter of iv million from it ; and their latest venture was a volume about the pope at Rome , Twain went himself to Italy to arrange the matter , and while there had audiences with the pontiff ; but the llgurcd there only as "Charles L. Webster & Co. , bccausu ho was as the time engaged in .bubiness rather than literature. Bo it happened that the pope regarded him i\s Webster. Now comes n biff parchment from Rome i-tthig forth that Charles L. "Webster has been Orcated u knight of the Order of I'Ins , be auio "it is the custom and practice of th Roman pun tills to gladly bestow titles of high honor on tluxo gentlemen whofo eminent gifts of mind , and whoxo excellent qualities , seem to us worthy of being crowned with re wards. " With this document of on- noblemcnt is a decoration of blue silk , ornamented with two strlpns of red at the edges , and the directions are that it shall bo worn on the left breast , "ac cordingly to knightly custom. " But it rannot properly adorn the front of Manic Twain , although really meant for him. and his lesser partner thus scoops the glory which belongs to the greater. The girl that desorvestobe called the wickedest girl in New York was in the ; ombs yesterday , but only on a visit ; ind it haapcncd that a fashionable com- : nitteo of charitable ladies encountered _ iero there. She was admited as the sister of u desperado who hasfcveral times attempted to kill women , and who must have beaten and robbed them times innumerable. Sh6 was not his sister , as she afterwards said , but an iidmlror. While she was in the gloomy prison , she walked over to a gentleman who was with the swell philanthropists , and asked for cigars for the rulllan. Money was given to her and she ex pressed profound gratitude in theiso re markable words : 'Yer don't look much , mister , but if yor heart ain't bigger'nacanal boat I'm way off. You're a dandy an' no mis take. " She was as pink , white and whole some looking as the average healthy working girl , and but for her eyes , which were cold as steel and wore a calculating , hard expression , she would have been very good looking. Her drcis was quiet and modest but very shabby. She appeared to be about twenty yers old. 'I could pay yer back , " .she said , re curring to the gift of money , and under crossexamination , 'but 1 would have tcr steal dor mun. Ho I s'poso you'd ruthur let me owe yer. Oh , 1 steal , of course I do. I'm a reg'lar rat. I never done anything straight in me life. In the shanticr ) where I belong , the girls are a bick lot. you bet yer life. But I wasn't cut out for a girl. I always wont with the boys , and 1 call mc-olf as good a boy as any of 'em. I'm a little better in somti ways , for my hands is smaller and all the better for opening them iron gates they has under the stoops in the swell houses. It takes a small hand to open them gates and that's whore i come in. " In ten minutes she exhibited hor.-olf totally devoid of principle , modesty or even common prudence. She was proud of claiming to be more like a man than Miss Be/io Garrity , the Sixth ward girl who was killed byonoof the murder ers now under sentence of death in the Tombs. Bo/.io could let any man pound her in the face without weakening by which she meant crying but she as serted that this was nothing to her ac complishments , for she could stand up in a regular light with bare knuckles against any man of her weight , and could take whatever punishment came without a murmur. She could dance any jig step done on the stage ; could run and swim and jump with any man , and when she wore male attire no one had ever suspected her sex. ' I gave the police a line laying out one day , " said she. "I lived among the shanties beyond Avenue A below the Harlem line , and me and some of the gang was chased there one night. 1 slipped into the wrong yard and over the fence into my own. That gave me just the time T needed. While the cops was in the wrong yard , I slipped o" an old muslin wrapper and waited for 'cm. When they coiuo to my door , I told me mudder to let 'cm in , and they said they wanted to search the shanty. One of them wouldn't go away till ho wont over everything twice. Ho says to mo , 'You know where that feller is. but you're too smart for us that's all ; ' and so T was , just twice too smart for him , for ho never thought of searching mete to see if I hadn't got the man concealed about meself , like swallorin1 a stolen ring. Moses ! how I did tongue lash them olllcors , though , for daring to como in an honest gal's room , and sus pecting decent folks. Oh , my ! it would have split your sides to hear mo. " She gave to the dainty ladies a shock ing picture of her homo surroundings. Her parents wore honest , but her father had never earned her respect , or the right to govern her , because of his drunkenness , while her mother was de scribed as too spiritless to do anything to bettor the family condition ! "Mo fardcr used to put on airs wid mo , " she said , "but I licked dor nonsense out of him before 1 wasliftceafcycarsold/'ner brothers wore in prison , professional criminals , apparently , and it rested on her to supply the household with nearly all the money that ever came to it. She htul never tried to earn her living hon estly , and she frankly admitted that a regular life was "too dull" for her. A Tombs ollicial said of her that she rep resented the most desperate and worthless typo of criminals in the town , and that there are hundreds just like her ; women without a trace of womanhood , without alle giance to family , church or their sex. Ho said that the male criminals f6ar these unsoxcd desperadoes as they fear nothing else in the'world , because there is no way of attaching them to their in terests , or of _ insuring themselves against their treachery wherever treachery will pay botUar than loyalty. It is such Women that tire referred to , ho said , in the news accounts of the shooting and beating of women by ruf- lians. They are to little like the rest of their sex that a man who va uld bo ashamed to raise his hand against the ordinary woman , treats these tigresses as ho would a man. CrAKA A KmimiH llreoze. Chicago Tribune : "There's quite a breeso sprung up within the last half hour , " said a Kansas man , as ho came into the house ; "the rooj has has gone off the court house , and the ICpiseopul's btcoplo just rolled by. " "lias Dave .lohnson's anvil blown out of his shop yet and tumbled past'/ " asked his wife. "No ; nor there hasn't a drop of water blown out of our now fifty foot well yet , either. " "That's just the way it goes , " con tinued his wife : "and I'll never take any more stock in the prophesies of the weather bureau. Here for the- past forty-eight Hours it has been predicting high wind for to-day and after all it is comparatively calm. Mary Jane , go right ahead and hang out tlio washing , while I rig up the baby and take him out and give him a little airing. " A Criminal Monkey. Chicago Herald : A monkey exhibited at a museum established at Tacubaya , Mexico , was condemned to he shot un der judicial Foutence. It scorns that the aninnil bit a man , who died from the results of the bite , The family of the deceased brought complaint before a judge , who was foolish enough to in stitute criminal proceedings against the monkey and sentenced him to bo shot. Luckily the manager of the museum brought iulUiciH'o to boar and succeeded in obtaining a changoof the sentence to perpetual imprisonment. The monkey is now'cndUring the punishment of his crime behind the burs of an iron cage at the museum.- ' ' . . , OEITTS.

BIG TREES OF AUSTRIA , Giants of the Oriental Backwoods Described. A PRIZE FOR PROSPECTORS. Immense Grants of Land f-'or Ain- tiitimtH American Fruit KalsrrK Tlie Kiionlyptiis The Val- iialilc Acacia. Australian Correspondence of the &fn I'Vaneisco ' Chronicle : The timber industry in western Australia is a MUIIVO of very great profit to the col ony. It IB a fortunate tiling for a now country when it can produce wool and lumber during the time that must nccossiirily elapse before the slower in dustries of agriculture and manufacture can establish themselves , and this good fortune has fallen to the lot of western Australia to a marked degree. A largo part of the southwest district of the col ony , between Perth and King George s sound , is covered with forests of enor mous timber of a mos-t desirable kind. One of the complaints most commonly heard from travelers in Australia , who have an eye for the picturesque , is that the scenery is rendered terribly monoto nous by the universal presence of the oubalyplus or "gum tree , ' ' as it is com monly called. And there is certainly good ground for the complaint. Botanists tell us of an immense num ber of different varieties of the tree , and some of thuin httvo very marked characlcreslics , but all have foliage of the somewhat monotonous bluish tint that is so well known. All of their bark instead of periodically shedding their leaves , and in all of them the leaves hang down edgeways , so that they afford but little shade to the luck less wanderer , who is compelled to seek shelter under their branches from the scorching rays of an Australian sun. They all have one other peculiarity , and that is one which , curiously enough , they share with .many human beings. They have a constant and unquenchable thirst , and they have a power of finding out the nearest place at which to satisfy it that is a little short of miraculous. The roots will stretch huncreds of yards in great snake-like lengths to reach a well , and when they have reached it either the well or the tree must go. It is , of course , this quality HI the tree that makes it so invaluable for getting rid of miasma and chills and fever arising from damti ground a qual ity which has secureu for it an even warmer welcome on the deadly Cam- imgna around Rome than it has received in this country ! Some of these eucalypti grow to an enormous height and si/.o. The inspec tor of state forests for the colony of Vic toria stated in an otllcial report of his that there were largo tracts of country in that colony over which the trees av eraged from ! I50 to . " 00 feet in height , mostlv straight as an arrow , and with but Yew branches. One fallen tree measured with the tape 4'5.'j feet to the place where its top had been broken elf , and hero it was three feet in diameter. It is estimated that this tree must , before it fell , have measured at least f > 00 feet , and it must undoubtedly have been the highest tree yet known to man. H measured eighteen feet in di ameter at a height of live feet from the ground. Many other trees measured twenty feet in diameter , but these were not as a rule over BOO feet in height. Other trees are recorded which meas ured oC > 5 feet and thereabouts. These enormous eucalyptus trees of Victoria are of a different variety from the eucalyptus collossca. commonly known as the karri tree of Western Aus tralia , of which , unfortunately , nomeas- urcments are at hand. It issaid , however - over , bv those who have peon the big trees or both colonies , that there is not much to cheese between them , and a former governor of Western Australia has left it on record that ho found ono tree which measured 150 feet to its llr t branch. It may bo that some C'aliforniaus will bo surprised , or oven disappointed , to learn that the big trees of Calaveras and Mariposn are not the biggest thing out , but though not the tallest by any means ( the highest of them of which wo can lind any record is only ! 125 feet in height ) , they probably average a larger quantity of timber than the Australian trees , and it may bo safely assorted that in beauty the sequoias of California are easily first. Another variety of eucalyptus , of which Western Australia exports a good deal , is the zarrah tree , commonlv known when cut as mahoganythough of coursp it is no relation to Spanish mahogany. ' Both thc&o kinds oi wood uro said to withstand the attack of Uio white ant and the teredo navalis. nml 1o bo consequently almost iiKlcstrnct- iblo anil of great value for iail- wny sleepers and piles , or pierswharves , ' o to' . At n mooting of tome specialists in tinibur , which \\as hold in London ut the eloso of mst year's Indian and Colonial nial exhibition , to report upon tlio o.\- i hibits of this nature sent from the disj j feronl parts of the empire , tlieto two kinds of wood received particular moii- tion as heing possessed of great eommer- i'ial valuo. Next to the ouealy.ptus the most com mon tree in Australia is the acacia. Of tiny again there uro an immense num ber of different rum-ties , the yellow , sweet-scented blossoms ofvhicli do a great deal to relieve the monotony of stifh parts of the'bush us they favor with their presence. They arc gener ally known a& wattles , hut ono kind in Western Australia , which is very common , is always called "rasp berry-jam tree , " from a marked resem blance between the smell of the wood when cut and that familiar confection. It is u curious thing that most of the hommonest vrrictiea.of neaeia that oc cur in that colony hslvo lost , or have never developed , the beautiful finely cut leaves winch make the shrub Mich a favorite for cultivation in other coun tries. Western Australia acacia , in stead of a leaf , have a leaf-like deform ity called by botanists u "phyllodo. " ' which is much as though a man had , instead of a hand , a llattoncd and pro tracted wrist , The hark of many kinds of acacia is very valuable for tanning purposes , for ivhich it is almost exclusively used in Australia. They are now being culti vated on a considerable scale in Victoria mid South Australia by the hides of the government railways and in other places , and it is expected that in lime a eodsidorablc export trade in this kind of bark will arise. The trees grow in very indifferent soil , and are said to bo richer in taniiic acid than the oak , while they attain a considerable si/.o in very few years. There is ono serious driwback to the establishment of fruit culture on a largo scale in the dry interior parts of the col ony , and that is the total absence of any thing worthy of the name of a river. Tills is ono of the peculiarities of Aus tralia. With the exception of the Mur ray , which drains the bouthcast corner of the continent or island there is not u single really good river to bo found. They nil degenerate in the summer into quito short streams , whice , ut a little distance from the coast , are nothing but a succession of water holes , and even these not infrequently dry up. Under these circumstances it is to a good sys tem of windmills and artcsion wells , for ivhich an abundant subterranean supply of water almost certainly exists , that the desert interior of Australia will have to look for its development ; but near the coast much can bo done without any ir rigation ut all. Two of the other colonies of Australia arc already being made the subjects of an interesting experiment in the direc tion of fruit-growing in their dry in teriors by means of irrigation. Two brothers , of the iiunio of OlmlTcy , who have been very successful in that way in southern California , liitvo secured largo grants of land from the govern ments of Victoria and .South Australia ( 0K)0 ( ) acres from each ) for no payment except their development , the settle ment upon them ol.ii certain number of colonists , and the production in a given time of a certain quantity of produce. The Hold for a similar enterprise in western Australia is still open , and in bjtito of the disadvantages of having to secure water fro n wells instead of from a river , yet there is- almost certainly scope hero for the building up of a very largo fortune by any California ! ! who , having the necessary capital , energy and experience , isi willing to betake himself to such distant iields in bearch of it. AFTER SEVENTEEN YEARS. A lltiNbaml and Wile : Itcunltcd Under ClrciimstuiiccK Duuidly Koinantlo. Says a Lonisvilo. Ky. , dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Domoerat : Jotlcr.son- villo gossips were yesterday morning treated to a choice morsel in the shape of a romantic nnd sensational marriage. While Mayor Warder wns still in bed , about 0 o'clocka servant rapped at his door and informed him that a gentle man and lady were waiting in the parlor for him to marry them. ' Show thorn in hero , " said the mayor , thinking they were Kentucky oloplbts. The visitors were Mr. Richard" MeDaniel nnd Mrs. Amanda Downs , and , after in specting the license which was handed to him , the mayor , withont lifting his head from the pillow , pronounced thorn man and wifo. The story of their courtship is n fttrnngo ono , nnd is bristling with ro mance. Thirty-two years ago Richard MeDaniel was a prosperous ypuog uer- ' chant of .Icllcrsonvillo , and Miss Amanda White was ono of the reigning belles. They loved and wore married. ' Everything 'was smooth and pleaant for fifteen years , when the young hus band formed the acquaintance of a smooth-tongued young gambler , who persuaded him to invest some of his moiK'y in a faro bank. The game so fascinated him that ho neglected his wife , his friends and his business , and finally became addicted to strong drink. This was too much for the young wife , and , while her husband was absent from the city on a protracted spree , she se cured a divorce. MeDaniel read a no tice of the decree in an Indianapolis paper the next day , and for the Hrst time a realization of the depth to which ho had descended seemed to como upon him. IIo returned to .lellersonville. sold out his business , placed the proceeds in the bank , and suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Not a cent of his in'oney. and he was worth in the neighborhood of $100,000 , wns taken , and he left his home pen niless. For seventeen years not a word or line was heard from him , and his friends supposed him dead , but as ho left no direct heirs , an administrator was appointed for his estate , which as ever since been becoming more and more valuable. In the meantime a sister of the di vorced wife died , and when her brother- in-law , Mr. Win. Downs , proposed that she become a mother to'liis children , she consented and they were married. ' Then followed fourteen happy years , but two years ago Mr. Downs died , and she has since devoted herself to caring for the orphans he intrusted to hcr- On last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Downs went down to the postottico to mail a letter , and in the crowd that usually tills that place she was jostled against a Hne-looKing , well-dressed old gcntfemmn , who seemed to be a stranger in the city. It was Richard McDaniol , now grown old and gray. Their eyes met and the recognition was mutal. "Amanda1 ! ' Dick ! " were uttered almost in ono breath , and they were locked in fond embrace. Before the astonished by standers could recover from their sur prise the couple wore walking arm in arm toward Mrs. Downs'house. There Mr. McDaniol told his story. After leaving.lelTersonvillo he drifted to Chicago , and , being in a desperate frame of mind , he did not care what be came of himself. Being without money and having resolved not to touch a penny of his estate at home , he secured a position as roustabout on ono of the numerous sailing vessels paving on Lake Michigan. With no other object in lifo ho devoted himself arduously to his new business , and in time he was made cap tain of the vessel. He saved his money , bought steamers of his own , and some time ago , finding himself rich a second time , a strong desire - sire came upon him to visit the home of his childhood. Hastily ar ranging his businass afl'airs ho boarded the oars , and Saturday afternoon found him on the streets of the city ho had left seventeen years before. Ho again proposed and for the second time was accepted by the woman he loved. They will make their homo in .Tonorsonvillo , in ono of the many line residences Mr. McDaniol owns. The old saving , "It never rains but it jwurs , " is very true in this case. Dur ing Mr. McDaniol's absence his grand father , who lived some distance out in the countrp , died died and loft him an other fortune. The possessor of over 8 )00,000 , ho will now settle down to quiet life , and together with his good wife , who is still handsome , will enjoy the happiness that lor so many year's has been withheld from them.
