If the Rouman iad any of the thrift or ambition nf n. commercial race at all, he would cut his splendid forests for timber; as it is, he is content to hack away at them to the ex tent of getting enough wood for casks and masks. On his side of the Carpa thians, too, are hidden mines of silver and iron, and, for all that he knows, of gold also; but such is his sloth that they lie there quite unmolested. The Rouman country is, besides, one of the healthiest m the world: the cholera, when it invades Europe from the East, most often skips this favorite land with its sleepy denizens. Let us, however, say one good word for the Rouman he is frugal, simple in tastes nnd sober; if he does the world little good, he is at least peaceable nnd harmless. Applcton's Journal. A Scene on tlio Danube. Edward King writes from Orsova to the .Boston Journal : The current rush es by here with such velocity as one sees elsewhere only on the 'Missouri in America. Nothing is more amusing than to watch the efforts of the Servians who endeavor to get over to this side in their little caique-boats, that do not look unlike the Indian's bark canoe, and that ni-o paddled in exactly the same fashion. Directly opposite Orsova arise the fro wrung mighty mountains of Servin, which at early morning nrj wreathed in folds of majestic mist, nnd over which, in the long May afternoons, waves of light and shadows sweep in quick suc cession and with magical effect. A tiny Serviau village, with its Greek church, around which nre grouped a few humble one-story stone cottages, with white washed walls and thatched roofs, clings to the base of one of the mountains. Away from the hamlet, on either hand, up into the yawning valleys, under the shade of the vnst forests, nlrmrr ihn euges ot tlie frightful ravines, and by the roads which, skating the Danube . . i o Miioro, icau away to other towns further down stray hundreds of goats, with kids fostivelv sit ..VVUW IU1.U1 , sheep, meditatively cropping the plenti ful herbage ; cattle and horses, all guided hither and you at intervals by micjmma vuux in long sueepsKin cloaks, nnd carrying the long traditional crook. The scene is thoroughly pastoral, ancient ; one can imagine the little chm-cli to have been there a thousand yenrs ; that the flocks have walked leisurelj homeward, us they do now, just at sundown, for huff a dozen centuries ; that the boatmen, in their round red skull caps, their short em broidered jackets with long flowing sleeves, their loose trousers, wi buttoned at the knee, nnd their girdles uii umves convenient for action have been paddling across the stream from time immemorial, and that nothing ever has happened, or ever will happen, to disturb such a peaceful scene. Yet war swept over yonder fair land opposite Orsova only last year, and may come again within a month. An Episode. Quite a laughable episode occurred on the river bank below the iron works, the other eveuiug as the City of Troy was on her trip down the river, says the Troy (X. K) Press. Sitting on tho beach was a pair of young lovers intent on nothing but whispering their sweet nothings to each other. The steamboat drew near, . but they scarce condescended a glance toward it. Their blissful reverie was short, however, for as the boat passed on its way the ground swell which followed rushing along shore nroutsed them, and the young lady, see ing the situation at a glance, seized her drapery and held it so that it would not impede her flight and rushed for the bank, reaching it barely in time to escape with a pair of wet feet. Not so lucky, however, was the swain, who perhaps thinking it undignified to manifest any anxiety before so many eyes (all the passengers were watching them), arose leisurely to his feet and moved toward a higher point. He quickened his pace an instant later, but too late. The curlinar wave broke rouui hi3 feet, rising nearly to his knes, sending the spray over him, wetting him thoroughly and dampening his ardor effectually. Tlie pair were seen an instant later wending their way slowly nnd sadly up the railroad track. A Battle Jn the Water. J erry Lonergan and John McCutohem, levee laborers, had n dispute at the foot of Washington avenue, St. Louis, and determined that the only fair way of set tling it was to fight it out. Fearful of being interfered with by the police, they adopted the novel plan of repairing to the river as a place for battle. They waded out till about up to their waists, and then went to pounding away at each other, t o the great entertainment of the crowd that gathered on the boat. Finally they clinched, nnd in a twinkling both went uuder. They were a stubborn, desperate pair, and each seemed deter mined to drown the other if possible. They floundered under water for quite a time, nnd there can be little doubt that both would have been drowned had not the spectators interfered and taken them out Neither had any wind to spare when they got to shore, and the fight was a draw, i ,, l.nll Nomrthlnc About the lllc Treri of . , . . ', ,. . A correspondent of the New York Sun fbrnln has been visiting the groves of trees in California about which so much has been written on nccountof their immense size. He snys : x It was estimate 1 by a lumber mer chant that one of the big trees, "The Mother of the Forest," contains 537,000 feet of lumber. This at $40 per thou sand would be worth $21,480. This tree is 321 feet high, and 137 feet to the nrst mill). Tlio bark thick, and tho treo circumferenco at three fret in circumference seventy feet from tho bi.se. In the Calaveras grove five men worked twenty-two days boring a tree down with pump augers. After boring the tree until every fiber was severed it na nnvoroH if still stood upright. To fad it two days wore spent with ropei, and wedges driven in with the butts of treeR. Finally the grand old monarch fell aftor standing the blasts of 3,000 year's. Then they smoothed off the stump, and on the fourth of July thirty -two persons danced on it. Our party, consisting of about fifteen, changed around on this stump, but to mo it was with a painful feeling. It was like dancing around the tomb of the dead Napoleon ; yes, like dancing on the fallen monument to a dead god 1 This stump is twenty-eight feet across three feet wider than a New York build ing lot and sound to the center. It would take sixty-four yards of carpet to cover it. This tree was 302 feet high higher than the dome of the capitol or than Trinity steeple. The " Father of the Forest " is another grand old fallen monarch. This tree fell many years ago. It was 375 feet high and twenty-eight feet thick. It being hollow, we rode our horses into its hol low trunk eighty-two feet. The height of the horseback entrance is ten feet. The diameter of the trunk 150 feet from the roots is ten feet four inches. In the Mariposa errove we came to a largo hollow tree called the ' Keystone." iiagin oi us roue our uorses inrougn it at one time. . It had been burned out and lived in dv tne Indians, but still looked fresh and vigorous at the top. in the South T'ark grove.our party all disappeared in a big tree called the "Grand Hotel, the hollow trunk of which will hold forty persons. Near by is "Noah's Ark," now fallen, but wmcn measures ninety feet in circnm ference and 320 feet in length, and just beyond is an unnamed tree, in the hoi-! low trunk of which sixteen horses can j stand. i How many of those biar trees are i there ? 1 There are in California, within twenty five miles of the Yoseimt valley, five groves of big trees The Calaveras grove, north of the Yosemite, contains ninety-four trees ; the South Park grove, six miles nearer the Yosemite. contains 1,380 trees from ten to ninety feet in circumference. The Tuolumne grove contains thirty trees, and the Mariposa 7UU, mailing tne total number of big trees (Sequoia aiuantca) in existence in the world 2,214. Will the number of big trees increase ? There is no reason why they should not, although I find only a few young ones growing. The fires run through the woods every year, and this un doubtedly kills the little trees, seed from the big trees can be iie easily gathered. Indeed, I gathered, perhaps. 500 seeds and sent them to friends living in different parts of the country. Jiow old are these trees i I counted the concentre rings on tho stump of a big tree and oil botanists agree that each ring represents a year's i growth and they numbered 3,840. So ' the tree was 3,840 years old. We find ' many big trees from 1,500 to 4,000 years ; old. We even find pines, cedars and : balsams here from 500 to 1,500 years old. : The last is not strange to me, for I re member how a guide once showed me ! the elms in Oxford, England, and told ! me they were upward of 700 years old. ; The altitude of the big trees makes j them grow in almost perpetual snow, i On the first of June, when we could see them cradling their wheat in tho San (JIAJtr.i OF THE FOKEST. is eighty-six fret in Mr. pnrker .. j. slmll nevpr buy a whisk tlie base, and forty- i. i. i. t i t Joaquin valley, the frosty winds howled , flu,uit.

A man about twenty-seven years of age named Charles Dixon, whose home is in Hamilton, O., arrived in Detroit Mich., with 380 in his pocket. Men arrive there daily with more or less money in their wallets, the Free Press remarks, but in this case Mr. Dixon would have arrived without greenbacks enough to have paid for a boiled egg but for his courage and the liberal use of a revolver. He was coming west from Buffalo when he made the acquaintance of three travel ing rascals. They first tried the three card monte game on him, but he won five dollars and then quit. They then wanted to sell him a bosus 31.000 bond for half the face value, but he wasn't in the I bond-buying business. A little further j on he was asked to give one of the men small bills for a ten. He pulled out his I wad" of greenbacks to comply, when 1 one of them grabbed it and the threo jumped the train. Mr. Dixon didn't , wait long before deciding to follow, He was armed with a large sized revolver, and as he landed in the ditch, the train still being in good motion, the three rogues madeacross a field for the woods. Dixon followed at a sharp gait, open ing fire as soon as within range. One of the fellows had a single barreled pistol. and with this he returned one shot. When they discovered that Dixon could not be distanced, the man with the money threw it down and called out: " Here's your money ! You've hit one of us, and that's enough. " Money was what the Buckeye wanted, and he halted when he recovered his greenbacks. He is strong in his belief that one of his bullets did hit one of the rascals in the leg, for when he last saw the trio two of them were assisting the third along. Mr. Dixon is a quiet, pleasant-looking man, but has the nerve of an old warrior. "If a Body." If a body see a body 'propriate his hat, should a body kick a body just for doing that ? If a body catch a body stealing his "old rye," should a body kick a body till a body cry ? If a body spy a body creeping 'round his lot, shouldn't a body treat a body to a load of shot ? If a feller catch a feller carrying off his wood", should a feller whale a feller if a feller could ? When you have nothing to say, say nothing ; a weak defense strengthens your opponent, and silence is less in jurious than a bod reply, I Mr. Torker Uuys a It room. i Mr. Parker was not thinking of whisk- , 1, . i .1, . ... j i I broom, and in fact he had always said that he should never buy a whisk-Wm.

"Buy a broom?" chanted he like an echo from the once popular song. " Get out," said Mr. Parker. "Now," said tho Italian gentleman, not disconcerted in the least, " here ve haf von nf de best brooms for onlee seventee fecf cent. Buy a broom?" "I wont," said Mr. Tarter; "seventy five cents is too much, besides you couldn't give me ono if you tried." "He is sheep at seventee feef cent. I cannot sell him sheeper as dat," said the man, preparing to go. J ust then another disguised nobleman entered, wearing another Elizabethan ruff of whisk-brooms, and chantintr in another key: "Buy a broom?" The first comer glared at his rival, who returned the compliment. "Get out," said Mr. Tarker to the i new-comer. That gentleman smiled j pensively, and, unhooking one of his j brooms, remarked: "Here is vn uf de I best brooms for onlee feefty cent. Buy a broom ?" Mr. Parker glonced at the broom. It I was just such a one as the first man wanted seventy-five cents for. , "Gowav," said Mr. Parker, stoically resisting me temptation to make a bar- rni,T 'ovt I ilmnm. out, I Uon t want your " Dot man is von tief," said Italian ; number one. ' I will sell you my broom for thirtee-feef cent, "and he casta glance of triumph at the opposition. Mr. Par- ker hesitated, and went so far as to ex i amine the brooms. ' "You sail haf de broom for thirtee cent; dat robber sail not sell you de broom." shouted Italian number two. Mr. Parker fingered the two brooms. Meanwhile the Italians shook their fists at each other and exchanged personali ties. ' ' You tief!" said one. ' You rob ber!" saidtheother. "Liar!"

"It is ruin," said the first, rolling up his eyes with pathos, " it is starfation, it is death, but you shall haf de broom for twentee-feef cent." The second man gnashed his teeth as Mr. Parker handed over the money, and then followed num ber one out of the door.
