Ton Lave seen and admired the weep
ing willow tree the Salit Babylonica
upon which the captive Hebrews
hung their harps when they sat down
by the rivers of Babylon and "wept
when they remembered Zion." It is a
native of the Garden of Eden and not of
America, and I will tell yon how it emi
grated to this country.
More thiin 150 years ago a merchant
lost his fortune. He went to Smyrna,
a seaside city in Asia Minor, to recover
it. Alexander Pope, one of the great
poets of England, was the merchant'
warm friend, and sympathized with him
in his misfortunes.
Soon after the merchant arrived in
Smyrna ho sent to Pope, as a present,
a box of dried figs. At that time the
poet had built a beautiful villa at
Twickenham, on tlio back of the river
Thame3, and Was adorning it with trees,
Bhru.'obery and flowering plants.
On opening the box of figs Pope dis
covered in it a small twig of the tree.
It wa a stranger to him. As it c me
from the East he plan ed the twip in
the ground near the edge of thc river,
close by h s villa. The spot accidently
chosen for the planting was favorable
to its growth, for tk twir was from the
wt eping willow tre , i ossibly from the
bank o one of " the ri ers of Babylon,"
which nourishes best along the bor
ders of water courses.
Ibis little twig grew vigorously, and
in a few years it became a large tree,
spreading wide its branches and droop
ing, graceful sprays, and winning the
ins iratiou of tiie poet's friends as well
as strangers. It became the ancestor of
ad the we ping willow-inE; gland.
There was a rebellion in the English
American colonies in 1775. British
troops were sent to Boston to put down
the insurrection. Their leaders ex
pected to end it in a few weeks after
their arrival. Some young oflic-rs
bronght fishing tackl- with them to en
able them to enjoy sport after the brief
war. Others came to settle on the con
tiso ted land of the "rebels."
Among the latter was a young officer
on the staff of General" Howe. He
brought with him, wrapped in oil silk,
a twig from Pope's weeping willow at
Twickenham, which he intended to
plant on some stream watering his
American estate.
Washington commanded an army be
fore Boston, which kept the British im
prisoned in that city a long time against
their will. On his staff was his stepson,
John Parke Curtis, who frequently went
to the British headquarters, under the
protection of a tlag, with dispatches for
General Howe. He became acquainted
with the young officer who had the wil
low twig, and they became friends.
Instead of "crushing the rebellion in
six weeks," the British army at Boston,
at the end of an imprisonment of nine
months, was glad to fly by sea, for life
and liberty, to Halifax. Long before
that flight the British subaltern, satis
fied that he should never have an estate
in America to adorn, gave his carefully
preserved willow twig to voting Curtis,
who planted it in Abingdon, his estate
in Virginia, where it grew and flour
ished, and became a parent of all the
weeping willows in the United States.
Some time after the war General
Horatio Gates, of the devolution, set
tled on the Ruse Hill farm, on New
lorK islam), and at the entrance to a
lane which led from a country road to
his house he planted a twig from the
vigorous willow at Abingdon, which he
liad brougut with liim. That country
road is now Third avenue, and the lane
is Twenty-second street. Gates man
sion, built of wood, and two stories in
height, stocd near the corner of
Twenty-seventh street and Second ave
nue, where I saw it consumed by fire in
1815. The tree, which grew from the
twig planted at the entrance to Gates'
lane, remained until comparatively a
few years ago. It stood on the north
east corner of Third avenue and Twenty'
second street. It was a direct descend
ant, in the third generation, of Pope's
willow, planted at Twickenham about
1722. Jienson J. Lousing, in Harper's

Jefferson Davis' Account of His Capture.
Jefferson Davis, in his book, " The
liise and Fall of the Confederate Gov
ernment," gives the following account
of his capture by the iederals:
My horse and those of my party
proper were saddled preparatory to
start, when one of my staff, who had
ridden into a neighboring village, re
turned and told me that he had heard
that a marauding party intended to
attack the camp that night. This de
cided me to wait long enough to see
whether there was any truth in the
rumor, which I supposed would be
ascertained in a few 'hours. My horse
remained saddled and my pistols in the
hostet s, and I lay down, fully diessed,
to rest. Nothing occured to rouse m
until just before dawn, when my coach
man, a free colored man, who faithfully
clung to our fortunes, came and told
me there was firing over the branch,
just behind our encampment. I stepped
out of my wife's tent and saw some
horsemen, whom I immediately recog
nized as cavaliy, deploying arouftd the
encampment. I turned back and told
my wife these were not the expected
marauders, but regular troopers. She
implored me to leave her at once. I
hesitated from unwillingness to do so,
and lost a few precious moments before
. yielding to her importunity. My horse
and arms were near the road which I
expected to leave, and down which the
cavalry approached. It was therefore
impracticable to reach them. I was
compelled to start in an opposite direc
tion. As it was quite dark in the tent, I
picked up what I supposed to be my
" raglun" a waterproof l.ght overcoat
without sleeves. It was subsequently
found to be my wife's, so very like my own
'as to be mistaken for it. As I started,
my wife thoughtfully threw over my
head and shoulders a shawl. I had
gone perhaps fifteen or twenty yards
when a trooper galloped up and or
dered me to halt and surrender, to
which I gave a defiant answer, and
, dropping the shawl and raglan from my
shoulders advanced toward him. He
leveled his carbine at me, but I ex
pected if he fired he would miss me,
and my intention was in that event to
put my hand under his foot and tumble
him off on the other side, spring into
his saddle, and attempt to escape. My
wife, who had been watching, when she
saw flie soldier aim his carbine at me,
ran forward and threw her arms around
me. Success depended npon instan
taneous action, and recognizing that the
opportunity had been lost I turned
back, and the morning being damp and
chilly, passed on to a fire beyond the
tent.

FARM, GARDES AND HOUSEHOLD.
Expelling lints.
If I remember right, Dr. Borne some
where stated that there is no way of ex
pelling bots from a horse. I have been
in the habit of giving horses a strong
decoction of sage, well sweetened, which
had the effect of expelling the bots. It
was supposed, when I was a boy, that
sage tea acted as a cathartic, and that
the bots were fond of sweet, and would
let go to take a sip of tea, and while sip
ping tea, would be carried along the

I write from experience : no Rucss-work
about it.
Kpnre the Calve.
As spring is now here we would
again caution farmers against the indis
criminate slaughter of these innocents.
The considerations advanced by some
farmers in favor of this practices are
purely of a mercenary character, and if
generally adopted would soon put an
end to one of the most important
branches of rural husbandry, and could
be likened to the fable of tke foolish
man who killed the goose that lay the
golden egg.
It requires but very little trouble to
raise a spring calf, and what little
trouble there is is confined to the first
few weeks of its life. The better way
is to put the calf in some convenient
grass lot separate from the. cow, and
allow it to suck its mother every morn
ing and evening, gradually diminishing
its allowance as the grass makes its ap
pearance and which it will soon learn to
eat. At the end of five or six weeks it
can be easily taught to drink out of a
bucket, when skimmed milk, mixed with
a little corn nd oats ground together,
and a little flaxseed boiled to a jelly, can
ue substituted tor its usual diet of new
milk. Calves fed in this way seldom
get the "scours," but should a case of
the kind occur it can easily be stopped
by giving the calf a little boiled fresh
milk, and mixing therewith a table
spoonful or so of powdered chalk.
hen the calf is some three months
old and the grass well up, it may be
turned out to some good pasture where
there is plenty of water, but not within
reach or hearing of the cow. The
trouble is then all over, as the calf will
shift for itself.
Carbolic Arid lor Insect.
The time has almost come a train when
"tho little busy bugs" will open up their
summer campaign and dispute with the
"lords of creation for possession of the
"fruits of the earth." Allow me thus
early to call attention to an article, the
merits of which eveiybody knows, but
which manv dare r.o; use I refer to
carbolic acid. Prepared as indicated it
cannot, I think, hurt the most delicate
house plants, and it is sure to kill in
sect life. My plan of preparing is as
follows: I obtain crude carbolic acid ; I
use it in this form because it is stronger
andbetterfor the purpose and costs but
very little (about twenty-five cents per
gallon, 1 think.) i pour a quantity ot
this dark crude acid into a quantity of
good strong domestic soft soap ; stir
well together and allow to stand for a
few hours. I then test the compound
by mixing a little of it with soft water.
If too much acid has been added, oil v par
ticles of carbolic acid will be observed
floating on the surface. This shows
that more acid has been put in than the
soap will incorporate or "cut," and more
soap should be added to balance the ex
cess of acid. No more definite rule can
be given,' as so -much depends on the
strength of the soap. Two or three
tablespoonfuls of the acid to a quart of
soap may be first tried. I prefer to make
as strong with acid as the soap wiJl per
fectly cut. A very little practice will
enable any one to compound it correct
ly. The refined acid may be used when
the crude is not at hand. hen pre
pared as above make a moderately strong
suds and apply with syringe or sponge.
In using on very delicate plants, should
any fear be felt for the plants, they can
be rinsed off after a few minutes." My
first and eminently successful use of this
compound was some years since on
block of young cherry trees some fifty
thousand in number. The black aphis
"came down like the wolf on the fold,"
only "they came not as single spies, but
in whole battalions." It soon became an
interesting question as to who was the
proprietor ot this particular block of
trees myself or the "bug .Ethiopian.
A disinterested observer of judicial turn
of mind, judging from the general ap
pearance of things and the very "at
home" air assumed by the bugs, would
have said they had the best case. He
would, at least have been compelled to
admit they had "nine points of the law"
(possession) in their favor. I never saw
the like before. The trees were ulive
with aphis. The only scarce things on
the trees were leaves, there being hard
ly enough to afford "standing room" for
all the dusky guests. However, not
being a . convert to the doe'rine of
'squatter sovereignty," I declared war,
and failing to decrease the number bv
ordinary means I compounded soft soap
and carbolic acid, and with a single ai
plication exterminated the enemy. T.

Salt Rising: Bread. Tho earlier in
the morning it is set the better. A most
convenient hour is 6 o'clock. Take one
pint of water, one-half teaspoonful of
salt and one teaspoonful of sugar
stir to the thickness of pancake bat
ter. The water used should be
warm as the hand can bear. Place the
vessel containing this batter into water
of the temperature of that first used,
and let it stand for three hours. In
that time a water will arise to the sur
face; then thicken with flour until the
batter is as thick as it was in the com
mencement. Let it stand three hours
longer when it will again rise, making a
total standing of six hours. Then get
what flour you need for your baking,
scald about one pint of it, and after it is
cool mix the rising together with warm
water and mix to a stiffness to knead on
a warm board. A great deal of knead
ing is required. Place the dough in
your baking pan, set aside until it rises
to twice its original size and then bake
in a quick oven. If yon are successful,
and a careful following of these direc
tions will make yon so, you have the
most delicious bread that has ever en
tered mortal's mouth. If you have a
large baking the ingredients are to be
proportionately increased.'
Senators and Congressmen,
There are seventy-six members of the
United States Senate, fifty-nine of whom
are practicing lawyers. Of the 293 mem'
bers of the House of Representatives
219 are lawyers. The President aud
Vice-President of the United States are
both lawyers, and nearly all the govern
ment departments, from highest to
lowest, are headed and directed by the
same profession. In the Senate, es
pecially among Senators themselves,
each member's ability is guaged by his
rank as a lawyer. When the status of
an incoming Senator is under discussion
the remark is frequently heard: " He
is a fine lawyer, and will make a good
Senator," the general supposition being
that because a man is a legal light he
must, therefore, be "trimmed and
burning" for a first-class statesman.
Why the people of this model republic
give such marked preference to the one
particular profession in selecting their
legislators and rulers is a conundrum
not yet satisfactorily answered unless
it is because persons bred to the law
naturally become expert wire-pullers,
and know how to help themselves.
In the present Senate there is but one
physician; in the House only four. To
bring the Senate down to a fine point,
statistically, there are in that august
body eight merchants, two planters, two
farmers, one banker, one mine operator,
one editor, one doctor, one with no busi
ness whatever, and all the rest are limbs
of the law.
Senator Hamlin is the oldest member
of the Senate, both as to years and in
point of service, counting from his first
election. Senator Anthony has been
longer in continuous service than any
other. He first took his seat in 1859,
and has been regularly re elected at tho
end of each term. Mr. Hamlin, who is
now about seventy-one years of age, first
came into the Senate in 1848, but he
subsequently resigned when elected
governor of Maine, lie was, however,
re-elected to the Senate immediately
after being inaugurated as governor,
and afterword again resigned to become
Vice President of the United States.
Blanche R. Bruce, of Mississippi, whose
time has just expired, was the youngest
Senator, being yet under forty. He was
the last of his race in Congress, but is
consoled bv having been called tothe
present administration as register of
the treasury.
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, is by
many supposed to be the oldest Senator
by reason of his appearance, but in fact
there are but few younger than he. He
is not yet nfty-two, but his stooping
posture aud his hair and beard of sil
very whiteness, make him look much
older than he is. Senator Thui man, so
lately deposed, was ranked with Ed
munds as the best lawyer in tho body
politic, and iu their respective parties
are usually accepted as authority upon
questiuns of management and policy.
Besides the 219 lawyers in the house,
there are twenty-five merchants, live
bankers, five capitalists, two inventors,
five manufacturers, two teachers, twelve
farmers, four physicians, one architect
and builder, lour editors, two ministers,
one stone-cutter, one insurance agent,
two millers and three owners aud opera
tors of transportation lines. It will bo
seen by this showing that the pulpit U
more scantily represented thun tho
press, for the reason, no doubt, that
editors are too poor and ministers too
pious to meddle much in politics.
The oldest member of the House is
Mr. Waite, of Connecticut, seventy
years of age, and the youngest is Mr.
Frost, of St. Louis, who is twenty
eight. The late Fernando Wood was a
member of the House longer than nuy
of his associates, and the next in point
of lengthy service is Judge Kelley, of
Pennsylvania. Alexander Stephens, of
Georgia, (ex-vice president of tho Con
federacy) is generally spoken of as the
eldest member, but Mr. Waite was
ushered into this vale of tears about one
year ahead of him. New York Nm-s.

Benefit of quick Work.
The rapid worker has not timo to get
disgusted with his work it is out of
his hands long before it grows weari
some. Disgust is the product of dawd
ling effort. If the work be somewhat
varied, the pleasure in connection with
its completion is varied too. Hence,
perhaps, the reason why the total and
sudden giving up of work is often at
tended with evil results. The transition
from a life full of activity and rich in
the enjoyment of successful labor, to a
life of utter idleness, with no such vivid
enjoyment, has often proved fatal.
There is too little activity in the new
life, and too little of the pleasure of
activity. Idleness without the excite
ment and pleasure of work, becomes
depressing. The vital forces droop and
decay. On the other hand, to the busy
worker rest and recreation have a
double relish. No holiduy is so re
freshing as that in which he runs away
from his labors, and enjoys himself in
quite a different sense. If his life were
j a succession of holidays, it would soon
' grow bnrdensome.
A Remarkable Couple.
In Montreal, in January, 1789, Michael
Gannue and Melissa Gamer were mar

teen. In 1801 they removed to Scotts
burg, now Bcottsville, N. Y. There they
lived together for seventy-eight years.
On the fifth of December, 1879, Mrs.
Gannue died, at the age of 103 years,
after a mirried life of eighty-nine years.
Her husband is still living, 108 years
old. ne lives with his son-in-law,
George Muir, at Rochester, N. Y. He
is sound mentally. With the exception
of being a cripple from a fall he had
sixteen years ago, his physical condition
is excellent. He became Wind in his
ninetieth year. He was blind six years,
when his sight ' gradually returned.
When his wife was dying he stood by
her bedside. When she no longer could
speak to him he became so affected that
his eyesight failed again. On the dav
of her burial he was escorted to her
coffin to lake his last look at his vener
able companion. He could not see her
face. He exclaimed bitterly: " It is
hard, after living nearly ninety years
with her, that she must be takeo away
without my being able to see her
again 1 " He had never been known to
weep before. Mr. Gannue is a basket
maker. He has not worked at his trade
since he became a cripple. He is an
inveterate user of tobacco, but never
drank intoxicating liquors. His wife
bore him sixteen children. Eight
three sons and five daughters are still
living. There are living besides thirty
eight grandchildren, twenty-three great
grandchildren, thirteen great-greatgrandchildren
and thirteen more dis

The men of Hilliard, a small Wyom

railroad, were spoiling for a spree, but
lacked the money to pay for it. At this
juncture the passengers on a train were
horrified at the sight of a rough-looking
man bound fast to a telegraph pole,
while a party of miners were suspending
a noose from a branch of a tree. The
prisoner begged the travelers to rescue
him, but the miners said that he was a
thief, and had justly been condemned
to death. It was intimated, however,
that the payment of $100, the amount
he had Btolen, would secure his liber
ation. The money was hastily con
