Spreading Ferns—An Enter
taining Story of Travel.
i artroa de Costa Rica, Feb. 29.—Hav
ing explored Cartega, Agua Caliente and
Pu’es, the traveler still has the two most
interesting places in the province before
him -one the peak of Irazu, and the other
the Orosi. First comes a day devoted to a
ride through the lovely valley of Orosi.
It is better to start early, before the sun
hus gained the meridian, for then there
an: the sweet cool breezes from the ver
dure d hills to invigorate and gladden
heart and body, to inspire the soul with
the rupture of living—for there are mo
ments when one glories in the mere pos
session of life, forgetting what the attrib
utes of that same life may be under ordi
nary circumstances.
Faking the excellent road which leads
beyond the little village of Paraiso,
broader vistas open on the view with
every wiud and turn. Gaining the brow
of a hill, whose rough stone cross reminds
the passer-by that all around him the
ground has been rendered sacred by re
ceiving into its bosom many a wearied
body, victims of the great cholera epi
demic that ravaged the country many years
nyo, through the blue mist not a'togetber
lilted, the pilgrim looks upon the valley
of Orosi stretching at his feet ioto varied
Ix suiies, the sunlight breaking from the
inviolate skies upon halt hidden hills,
upon glancing spray, upon rivers winding
their bright lengths pint green meadows
into shad >wed mountain hollows, a scene
to be held in glad remembrance until
memory is not.
Far away to the left, hidden by yon rug
ged sleep, are the ruins of Ujarras, and
from the height above the crumoling wall
the river of Paez leaps into the green val
ley below, scattering showers of silver
spray liithe slowly spreading light. Tnere
also are the three rivers—tne Agua Cili-
enle, the Narango and the Macho -whose
commingled waters lose themselves in the
stormy Itcveutazon, one of the most tur
bulent streams in this region of swift,
mountain-fed torrents.
Excellent fish are to be procured from
these rivers, fish, of so sharp a nature
that the Indians, with that broad sense
of humor characteristic of our abo
rignal relations, have long called it bobo,
ol Uerwise stupid, because it is impossible
to catch them as all well-regulated
fish should consent to be caught—
with hn.,k;and line. The Indians capture
them with bow and arrow. In this ad
vanced day we caugut them with the aid
of science, by throwing dynamite shells
in to the upper stream and then standing
in the water and catching the dead fish
that rapidly floated down. Naturally,
though, this is extremely damaging to
the young flsh, who are thus cut off in the
days of their early youth, so it might be
as well to adopt less heroic treatment—for
the sike of coming generations of travel
ers. at least.
All that remains of the ancient mission
of Orosi, once a populous town, is the ven
erable church. Around it is a scattered
h uniful of huts, with two or three larger
dwellings, belonging to as many wealthy
coffee planters. In front of the building, as
in all religious ediflees in this and oth
er Spanisb-American countries, is a
wide plaza, bounded by a low, strongly-
built stone wall, the key to whose care
fully closed gate is kt pt by a solemn old
sacristan. Passing this portal, the stranger
stands within precincts rich in silent
memories of the historic past. Through
those narrow mountain dellles, on which
shines the unchanged sun, when this
church was new, may have swept in gay
and brilliant procession those who planted
the cross wherever they devastated with
the sword. Who knows but on just such
another day, when the world was twocen
tiirics younger, the jaugling bell still
swinging in the crazy tower may have
sent forth a sonorous peal that summoned
to prayer a glittering tiain of knights
w hose spurs were iwou in fair castle or on
tented plain where the banners o 1 Fertdi
mind and Isabella flaunted triumphanl y
above the ancient dominion of the Mooe?
The sunlight linked those old days with
the present, but, the door passed, there
is nothing to remind the visitor that he is-
breathing the air of the nineteenth cen
tury. Asked the age of the ediiflee, one
the mostcullured of Costa Ricans made
answer, “Vaya saber,” although he had
always understood that it is the most
ancient specimen of Spanish architecture
in the republic. Truly, as in Haggard’s
heroine, after She had pissed through
the fiery column, there is an air of ex
treme old age about the low room, with
its gallery above the entrance and its high
altar and shrines.
The picture, whose central figure greets
every person entering Roman Catholic
churches with mournful memo
ries of the crucifixion, are here
blurred anti defaced across their
former bravery of green aud yellow
and red, and the woodwork is worm-eaten,
and the stone floor sunk in many places.
There is a peculiarly ghastly represent*
tion of the savior, and the virgin’s robes
a-e of the planes! material, though of the
most gorgeois colors. One waxen figure
of the holy mother has an exquisitely
sorrowful face, and the small hands lightly
outstretched have the delicate tracery of
lines and veins which nature has placed
upon the human hand. Here and there
at iutervals are saintly figures, at whose
feet flowers send up their silent worship,
proving that- time has not quenched the
r.-liginus fervor of the dwellers in distant
Oroil .
n is worthy to be remarked that wben
the terrible 'earthquake of 1841 was deal
ing destruction throughout the entire land,
this anc.eut church, through miraculous
interposition of course, passed unscathed
under the trial, and stands erect to-day,
with only the weight of its many years to
burden it with most honorable scars.
There are some valuable candlesticks and
sneient reliquaries yet belonging to the
church, treasures that have withstood the
thieving hand of time and the guardian
ship of ignorant Indians.
One or two wealthy haciendadas have
their coffee beneficias in Orosi, and pleas
ant gardens, gay with flowers, surround
comfortable country homes. lhe ubi-
quitious small boy is to be discovered lylog
iii the sun or joining in the shrill
chorus which ever and anon greets the
passers-by from low adobe huts, within
whose doorways stand women aud chil
dren cliucing to their skirts—all alike
reads' to offer friendly salutations in the
usual form. “Q e vaya con Dios, la Virgen,
v u>dos los sautos,” follows the pilgrims
ns they go placidly on their ascending
way, and many a cheerful adios lingers on
the light breezes sweepii g up from
Orange Grove and Protrero.
it is not only the loveliness of this por
tion of the province which attracts the
traveler, bat the fertility of the soil and
the delicious climate. The road passes
between rich fields of corn, gardens con
taining every kind of vegetable, and coffee
haciendas, svuos evergreen trees display
clustering berries under their glossy leaves.
And then, when the noon sunbeams
strike through wide spread branches, it
is impossible to leave untouched the
golden globes banging just within reach
of the outstretched hand. So there is a
brief,delightful rest within pleasant shade,
around and about fruit luscious enough
to bring lorth a shower of blessings on
the beads of those departed heroes who
gave Costa Rica to the world.
In places the road narrows into lanes
bordered with trees, whose interlacing
boughs ward off the vertical rays of sun
shine; and there are openings across the
path made bv noisy brooks, whose pure
waters come with many “a wind and turn
from the untrodden heights above, and
every vagrant breeze brings from bidden
nooks the fragrance of sweet wild b.oa-
»oins. The ascent is slow, for by almost
imperceptible degrees the adventurous
pilgrim is attaining higher level^ and
Soon the valley with ita white-walled
church lies below, while above *re still
steeper ascents to be overcome. There is
a blue baze upon the hills, within whoae
shadow the way winds, and the air is
stirred with the tumult of the swift nrcr
brisking over huge rocks to the left. !»on
the Kio Macho is crossed, and with every
step the scenery gains in picturesqueness.
Od either side are gigantic
mighty limbs send out long tendrils that,
iu t eir turn, take root; and the “““er-
growth is deuse, teeming with the marvel
ous features oi tropic lire.
There is an endless variety of ferns,
from the delicate maidenhair to tree ferns
with widely waving leaves several feet in
length, the entire plant attaining a height
of twelve or fifteen feet. There are vivid
ly tinted blossoms, also, and parasitica
cling to tree trunks or hide their beauties
in massing foliage; but it la a rare thing to
iiud an orchid of extreme delicacy of form
or coloring. The varieties which command
enormous prices in New York and London
flowers, lovely exceedingly and most en
tirely grateful to the eye of th* pilgrim
yearning for a sight of home and ita dear
old-fashioned blossoms.
A sadden twilight closes upon the
seekers after pleasure as they climb the
narrow, treeAxirdered path leading be-
yond the mtcuo, and (he steepness of the
tortuous way renders it necessary to pro
ceed in Indian file. The absence of sun
shine rail non the ascent to closely resem
ble soap in the slipperiness of its nature,
and the horses have much ado to keep
their feet and the riders their temper and
spirit, for, to say the least of it, it is not
pleasant to feel one’s horse taking two
backward steps to every forward pace,
■nil to see ahead only a narrow, winding
path, crossed at near intervals with huge
uprooted trees and deep holes filled to the
treacherous brim with water. But one
glance backward instills new courage, for
whatever the ascent may be, the descent,
at the moment, is too awful to contem-
plate.
A guide leads the way, a sturdy soul who
pushes alike through narrow path and
dense underbrush, for after awhile the
road becomes a trail, and the horses have
to be abandoned for a mile walk or
scramble through damp woods. The
guide clears the path with his huge ma
chine, but quite too often mysterious
vines cling about the feet in a fashion
which causes timid souls to suspect the
presence of Eden’s terpent in the forests
of Costa Rica. Thus, when some lover of
the beautiful stoops to gather a delicate
flower or graceful fern his fingers close
upon some slimy insect and a trail of
damp cobwebs brushes across his face.
But it is all beautiful, and leaps over
yawning chasms bring consolation with
the thought that the ground is firm on the
other side.
The skies seem very near, and often a
ray of light darts through intertwined
foliage and flashes back its splendor from
silver spray that imprisons a rainbow in
every whirling globe. Tired and begin
ning to be disagreeable, hungry and
yearning for some of the contents of the
saddle-bags, plunging ahead on the
mighty shoulders of a stalwart son of Al
bion, a point is gained that reveals the su-
premest wonder of all. Something shim
mers in the freed light, something that
dazzles the eyes and checks the com
plaints of querulous tongues, for above
and just in front, removed only by a bar
rier of bowlders green with moss, catch
ing the sun on ail its myriad wreaths of
snowy spray, falls from stony cliffs above
the magnificent cataract of the Rio Macho,
the glorious cataract of Orosi.
It is a narrow pass in the mountains, far
above the quiet valley of Orosi; on every
side enormous bowlders, scattered as
though by some terrible convulsion of na
ture; trees, crowned wii-h the sun, hem
ming in the steep defile; flowers lifting
their faces to the spray: the air thunder
ous with the storm of falling waters—the
whole scene so superlatively lovely that
words are dumb, and all the traveler can
do is to gaze in awed silence, for it has
been given him to attain the. summit of
earthly lovoliness, and nothing remains
bevond.
In spite of the sun, whose rays are no
longer intercepted by luxuriant foliage, L
is intensely cold, for the light spray bens
upon uplifted faces as if with the intention
of dampening the ardor of the admiring
pilgrims. What is, therefore, the only
thing to be doue? As if touched with the
same electric spark, the travelers clamber
over slippery rocks and seek shelter under
two mighty fragments of the mountain,
which have fallen together in a shape re
semoling a cavern. Then the saidle-bags
are opened, and eyes a few moments before
fixed in rapt adoration upon the glorious
work of God are glued greedily upon the
substantial bread and hard-boiled eggs
and sandwiches the yawning bags dis
close. In the presence of so much water
everyone drinks the health of the cataract
in a bumper of wine, and as the cold dis
appears jollity comes in. Toasts are drunk
to those who proposed the trip, to those
who fostered the proposition, to every
thing and everybody that conduced to the
successful issue of the undertaking, and
then, with the thunder of the falls almost
drowning the strongest voice, another
journey is arranged, whoso objective point
is silent Irazu, standing in eternal solitude
above the clouds.
Someone, of course, climbs from spur to
spur, and into the waters of the turbulent
river hurls the destructive dynamite. But
the fish are either not at home to strangers,
or too busily engaged to heed such calls,
so the taste of bobo does not put the fin
ishing touch to the delightful trip. One
debt remains to be paid, and then come
ominous suggestions as to the advisability
of returning before darkness should add
its unwelcome presence. The debt con
sists in lifting the face for one more look
upon the wonder, one more apostrophe,
one more baptismal touch of waters pure
and undefiled, one regretful thought that
this must be the only memory of Orosi.
Then there is the return journey to be
made, the difficult scramble through
underbrush and forest, the painful descent
of the slippery road, and the long ride
back to Car-ago.
The slanting rays of the sun are
tingeing the trees, and reddening the
macho, as the travelers turn their faces
down the valley, and when, from the
doorway and hedge, pleasant salutations
greet them, the voices are only faint
echoes of the woodland sounds, aroused
an hour earlier. It is in a dream that they
ride through the village of Orosi, and
diaw rein beside the famous Hammock
bridge, foQnature has held to their lips
her chalice, and she holds them under the
spell of her enchantment.
Stil), the Hammock bridge is worthy of
note, linking,«s it does, the most ancient
memories with the present day. Those
old Indians who swung their twisted fibers
across the swift stream had no idea of sus
pension bridge or engineering skill, but
they gave a plan which is still in use and
likely to be so until Orosi becomes a large
and flourishing town with all the improve
ments of the twentieth century.
Afternoon deepens into evening as the
pilgrims climb the hills and look back
upon the mountains standing blue in the
gathering haze, peak behind peak, along
the crimson skies, below them the rivers
turning to gold and scarlet in the glory of
approaching sudset; over hill and valley
and river spread like a robe the majestic
stillness oi nature.—C. R. Crespi, in San
Francisco Chronicle.
Th. French Moral Poison.
The absolute, unlimited “liberty of licen
tiousness” in art, in literature, in public
and private life, which the dominant real
istic school both claim and practice in this
may well be said to involve aud
oo ue identified with the very life of the
nation and its future existence and for
tunes. It is precisely because every com
munity, no matter how prosperous, or
how great outwardly, is a community
“strlken with death,” if such fearful cor_
ruption as this once fastens upon it, that I
am bold enough to writs you this letter.
From French industrial art we have mnch
to learn—much that is most beneficial.
From modern French fine art, from the
literature of France, her theater, her
schools of philosophy and politics, we can
only derive moral poison. . , _
lit us keep to the ways and the wisdom
of our fathers. They have been held up
to the world as models of patriotism, of
public and private worth, or that safe and
sound statesmanship which drew the
breath of life from revealed truth.
The m.-n who popularize in the United
States the works of the French realistic
and infidel schools are, whether ^ they
know it or not, among the deadliest foes
of American institutions. They help to
poison the hearts aud the minds of our
people.—Bernard O’Reilly.

FIRES IN AMERICAN COTTON.
English Underwriters on the Causes and
Means of Preventing Them.
In November last a committee of Lon
don and Liverpool underwriter* waa ap-
inted to inquire into the caosee of fire*
American cotton, and to suggest reme
dies. This committee appear* to nave
R rosecuted their work diligently, and al-
lough they are not yet prepared to make
a «n»i report, they have published the
following statement of the conclusions at
which they have arrived:
The oommittoe are unanimously of the
opinion that the causes of fires are sparks,
smoking and matches, incendiarism, con
tact with oil, coupled with carelessness in
handling, want or proper precaution in
transit, and the failure to enforce the reg
ulations of port and municipal authorities,
and that danger, from any of these causes,
* the very de-
lency of the
mpling.
Toe change in the cotton trade,whereby
cotton is purchased in the interior In
stead of at the port of shipment, nas re
sulted in premure being brought to bear
upon marine companies to issue policies
covering cotton from time of purchase, no
other means of obtaining continuous cover
being practicable.
The evidence before the committee oer-
tainly shows that from the commencement
of the cat ton season 1887-88, there have
been, practically, no regulations in force
to prevent cotton being forwarded from
presses in the interior to Europe without
adequate measures being taken for its pro
tection : the old restrictions and regula
tions insisted upon by the fire companies
have been abandoned—the railway com
panies have endeavored to contract them
selves out of their liabilities, and munici
pal authorities have become indifferent as
to enforcing their regulations—and early
in this season an extraordinary rush of
business occurred, especially at Atlantic
porta, causing the employment of gangs
of temporary stevedores, and resulting in
general care essness.
In addition to this, cotton presses and
warehouses have not been regulated and
inspected on the principles heretofore ap
proved oy the fire companies; the method
ot packing and the material used have de
teriorated, and have been altogether insufj
fleient, allowing the cotton to sag out, and
rendering the bale more liable to ignition.
Railway companies use open cars, and, in
some cases, cars which have previously
carried petroleum and other inflammable
articles, the cotton is piled in frame sheds,
iu open lots, and on decks of steamers,
without protection either of watchmen or
tarpaulins. Smoking, although nominally
forbidden in most places, is practically per
mitted without much restriction; the use
of spark-arresters on funnels of engines and
steamers is by no means general, and min
eral oil is freely used for lubricating presses
and screws on board ships loading.
There is no direct evidence before the
committee as to acts of incendiarism, bat
it is certain that the conditions of the car
rying trade are such that a very large
number of persons directly benefit when
a fire occurs on a vessel which has nearly
completed loading, and that such fires are
frequently happening. .
The committee are of opinion that tne
insufficiency of the packing is the chief
cause of the liability of the cotton to
catch lire. The packing of American cot
ton is vastly inferior to that of Indian,
Egyptian, or Brazilian, which is
entirely covered and properly bound,
so that it is exceptional to find
any of the latter cotton exposed
after lauding. American cotton, from the
flimsy nature of the bagging, only partially
covering the bales, and the insufficiency ot
tne bands, comes away in considerable
quantities, and the decks and holds of ves
sels loading and discharging arc frequent
ly covered with waste and fluff. It is evi
dent this condition of things rendets igni
tion by sparks, or other causes, exceeding
ly likely to occur.
l’his exposure is also much increased by
the method of sampling, whereby two,
and sometimes more, holes are cut in the
side of the bale, without the covering be
ing properly restored.
With regard
to remedies, the committee
are of opinion that the chief alterations
required effectually to diminish the fires,
are the introduction of a more closely
woven material to cover entirely the bale,
an increase iu the number of bauds, mend
ing after sampling, and, if possible, the
compreasion of the bale to an uniform size
and weight. ..
At the same time they recommend that
every means should be taken to enforce:
1. The inspection of presses and stores.
2. The use of closed yards.
3. The use of tarpaulins to cover cotton,
whenever exposed.
4. The use ot covered cars only on rail-
5^* The use of vegetable oil only for lubri
cating presses ana screws on board vessels
loading, and further—
That pressure be brought to bear on
municipal authorities to prohihg poking
net. The sound was so pitiful that one of
the young men gave a hard push on the
strango-looking doc r and it fell in.
Inside the hut asad sight was wit
traders, but when he heard the sympa
thetic voice of the spokesman he gave a
sort of smile, which reassured the party.
The strange man, for the first time since
he cametothe ciunty, talked as freelyas
his weak condition would permit him to,
and it was learned that with the excep
tion of a little dried meat and some very
stale bread, he had not eaten anything
for a week and half. He had used snow
for water, but daring the day on which he
was discovered he was too weak to get
even that. Had he not b^n found, lie
would certainly have perished.
The young men built a fire and warmed
the place up to thaw the old man out. The
hermit, after he had been urgently pleaded
with, consented to remain in their care
tor the time being, and wrapping him up
carefully, they carried him to the nearest
house, about two miles distant, where he
has since remained in * Fwy weak but
slightly improved condition. It is be
lieved that if he recovers be will give up
his hermitage and become civilized. No
one has yet oeen able to receive from his

THE OCEAN STEAMSHIP LINE.
General Manager Sorrel Chats About the
Company's Affairs.
Gen. G. M. Sorrel, general manager of
the Ocean Steamship company, has re
turned from a recent visit to the north in
the interest of the company. In an inter
view with a Morning News reporter he
expressed himself as highly pleased with
the dock facilities of the company at New
York and Boston. He says that the New
YorX docks are now in good condition and
are the best in the country, and admirably
arranged for the prompt and cornfortab e
handling of passengers. The docks are on
the North river and are 600 feet in leugth.
The Boston pier, he says, is 650 feet in
length, and has recently been completed.
The docks are heated by steam and light
ed by electricity, with steam power for
loading and unloading vessels The com-
pany is completely equipped for handling
the growing business, its terminal facilities
being unsurpassed. Its business is increas
ing with a steady growth. Gen. Sorrel
thinks,however,after comparing the offices
at New York and Boston with that of Sa
vannah, that the latter will soon have to be
enlarged to facilitate the requirements of
their southern terminus. Increased dock
facilities at Philadelphia will also be re
quired at an early date if the . increase of
patronage continues to grow as it steadiiy-
has in the recent past. _
The change of schedule in sailing from
Monday, Wednesday and Friday to Sun
day, Tuesday and Friday, Gen. Sorrel says,
was done to meet the demands of the deal
ers east, and the wants of the truck farm
ers of Savannah and Florida. It insures
certain delivery for the New York Satur
day market, and does away with the com
plaints of the New York dealers, who com
plained of the Wednesday vessel’s getting
there too late for the Saturday markets.
While he was north Gen. Sorrel visited
Chester, where the City of Birmingham is
building. He says that the work is pro-
greasing favorably, and that the new ship
will be one of the best carriers ot the
ocean service. She is now twee thirds
platftd, and will be ready for launching by
Jane 1. She will cost about f280,000. the is
to be 320 feet long and 421 feet beam.
She is a three-decker, and will be pro
vided with the most complete mechanism
for the handling of cargoes. The engines
and boilers are to be well forward, and
her castings will be of the best. She is to
be of 3000 tons gross capacity,and designed
for 2300 dead weight. Her balk capacity
will be from 6500 to 7000 bales of cotton.
The vessel will be ready to puttoseaabout
the first week in August.—Savannah News.
Root-Knot.
In some localities in Florida it is re-
ported that cultivators of deciduary
fruits, particularly peach growers, are suf
fering considerable lo.s from a disease af
fecting the roots of these trees which they
term root knot. So serious is this disease
at some points that great fears are felt
in regard to the future success of an indus
try in that state which has thus far given
so much promise.
The direct cause of all this apprehen
sion is a minute animal parasite closely
allied to aud strongly resembling in ex
ternal appearance, the so-called vinegar
eels. Taese parasites are named nema
todes or thread worms, but, so far as we
have any information, very little is kuown
ot their habits or mode of development.
It is through their attacks, however, that
the knots or galls seen upon the roots are
formed. How the attack is made, or what
becomes of the worm after the roots have
decayed is not known. If a section be
made through a newly formed knot, small

Rescued in the Snow Storm.
A singular and sad story was related in
Nyack recently, by a gentleman from 9uf-
fern, of a hermit named Alton, who, it
seems, has lived in a rude abode north of
that place lor a long time. The ridge of
mountains which skirt the northwestern
part of Rockland possess all the primitive
wildness of the days of the early settlers,
and in some portions of them a civilized
human being scarcely ever ventures. Here
and there a family of a species known as
“Jackson Whites” may be found in a
small shanty, rudely built by their own
hands. Alton (his first name is not known)
came from Pennsylvania, it is said, six or
seven years ago, and sought the wildest
portion of western Rockland county for a
borne. Of his history comparatively noth
ing is known. He had money, for he
bought and pa : d for everything which he
ate and otherwise used, and his capital all
se-med to be in gold. He settled in a spot
under a wild cliff in the ttamapo moun
tains, wbere be pried out some rocks suffi
cient to leave a sort of cave. He then
went to the nearest village and purchased
some heavy planks, carrying them one at
a time to the place where he wished to
use them. With these planks he built a
structure decidedly original in design in
front of his cave, forming a dwelling
which seemed suited to his caste.
It could easily be seen how Alton man
aged to live comfortably in the summer,
but his method of existence in the oold
season could not be conjectured. Those
who attempted, through curiosity, to find
out something about the man’s history,
were snubbed in such a manner that they
never approached him a second time.
There was one exception, however, to this
rule. A young man named Lewis, about
seventeen years of age, seemed to have
won his way into the hermit’s good
graces, for he used to spend hours at a
time with him in his mountain home, and
he said the hermit told him some strange
and sad stories about bis early life, but
carefully avoided mentioning names.
Since Christmas no one has seen the
hermit out, for the weather from that
time on was such as to prevent any one
goiag within three miles of his habitation.
One day this week—the narrator of the
story thinks it was Tuesday—three young
men, having a curiosity to know how high
snow-banks they could find In the untrav
eled portion of the mountains, ventured
out for a few hours’ sport, and after
plowing through huge drifts for two or
three hours, came upon the region in
which Alton’s home was situated.
“1 wonder how the old hermit is, sug

After some deliberation it was decided
to make an investigation. It was soon
learned that the snow in front of the
hermit’s hut was unbroken. The three
voung men plunged through the snow
nntil they reached the front of the hut,
and then stopped to listen. One of the

this supposition was soon found to be cor-
DUMAS’ QUIET PARTNER.
A QUEER STORY OF A JOINT AUTHOR
SHIP WITH MAQUET.
The Work or the Famous Frooeh Author
Might Hare Remained Unknown Had
It Not Been for the Assistance
of this Bright Intellect.
There has just died in Paris, after a short
illness, a modest, unassuming man of sev
enty-five, who was through many long
years Dumas’ left hand, who bore pa
tiently wiih his obscurity and rendered
services publicly acknowledged with con
stant conscientiousness.
Auguste Maquet, for it was he, resem
bled in person one of the heroes who
were partly his creation. He had the
clean-cut face, the eagle eye, the brisk en
ergy of d’Artagnan. He was also refined
and educated, one of the last gentlemen
of letters whom we have known. Early
in his ca*eer he threw his destiny in with
Alexandre Dumas. In the shadow of that
brilliant reputation he wrote his share of
the long epogee of “Mousquetaires,’’as
well as of the series of novels of which
each new one ever seemed the sequel of
the last, beginning with “Queen Margot
and ending with tne “Forty-five.”
At first the world di(f not even suspect
this silent collaboration. It was only in
1846 that a few intimate literary friends of
both authors became aware of it; but still
Dumas continued to sign his works alone,
not so much to gratify his own vanity, but
as a matter of business, the publishers re
cognizing the marketable value of his
name as compared with Maquet’s. But
there came a day when he refused to ac
cept any longer the sole benefits of the as
sociation, and theloccasion he selected to
proclaim his indebtedness to his friend
was that of the first night of tho first play
taken from one of their books.
Every one knows that it is the habit in
France at the end of a first performance
tor the curtain to rise again so as to allow
the actor filling the principal part to come
down to the footlights ana address the au
dience in the stereotyped words: Gen
tlemen and ladies, the piece we had the
honor of acting before you is by—” (nam
ing the author). When the “Youth of the
Mousquetaires’’ had ended in a storm of
applause, and Melingue, the great come
dian—who was also a sculptor of merit,
and in a later play modeled a statuette
on the stage every night—was standing at
the wing waiting to make the customary
announcement, Alexandre Dumas whis
pered a few words iu his ear, aud then
returning to Maquet said, hurriedly:
“Is your mother iu the house?”
“Yes,” answered Maquet, surprised.
“Well, look at her when the curtain
rises.”
“Why?”
“Look at her, I say,” impatiently re
peated Dumas, as the clear tones of Me-
tingue rang from the footlights, uttering
the words: “The play we have had is by
Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet.
Maquet, completely overcame by this
tardy and unexpected tribute to his service,
rapturously embraced Dumas, and has
since said that lor that one minute of un
alloyed triumph he would glady have
served another lifetime of obscure labor.
It is difficult to ascertain exactly how
the work was divided between the two
collaborators. It is, however, supposed
that together they constructed their plot,
and laid out the scenes on a wide and
solid basis. Maquet, whilom professor of
the university, consulted memoirs, old
documents, newspapers and archives,
while Dumas in his rambles;through Earls
and its environs reconstructed in his imud
the old Louvre, St. Germain, the an
cient palaces and prisous, the Greve and
and Notre Dame. Maquet wrote the first
chapter—or teuilletou—concise, correct
and to the purpose. Dumas took hold ot
it< and infusing it with hi.- fire and genius
made it brilliant, terse, witty and daz
zling. From this superb and unrivaled
collaboration sprang the so-called histori
cal romances and many plays which have
fascinated millions of readers and specta
tors. It must be added tor the honor of
an epoch which has glorified and multi
plied the immoralities of so-called real
istic novels, that the books of the elder
Dumas are still sold in the same numbers
as they were forty years ago.
Auguste Maquet had a drama in his own
life He loved, not wisely, but too well,
and the best part of his existence was
spent iu faithful 1 .yalty and affection for
the woman who had been the idol of nis
youth, and was ever his tender, de-
voted companion. When she died her
place remained unfilled in his heart and at
bis fireside. He came more rarely to
Paris, never except on business, and
buried his grief at St. Mesme. Another
sorrow in Maquet’s existence was
the difference culminating in a lawsuit
that arose between him ana Dumas on the
question of their respective royalties. The
suit began in 1853, after the recognition of
his collaboration and author’s rights. The
judges found it difficult to ascertain the
share which accrued to each. It was not
possible to make Dumas refund the royal-
tioa i-oeninrevious to the recognition.
attacks. They do not always confine their
ravages to the roots, but mAuy attack the
stem, leaves, or fruit of plants. “Ear-
cockle” or “pumples” in wheat, oats and
rye is caused by them, aud they are not
infrequently found affecting tke seeds of
native grasses. Our garden vegetables are
sometimes smitten with these minute
pests, and many greenhouse plants are de
stroyed by them. Not long ago our atten
tion was called to the dying of young cle-
matis plants cultivated in tne green-house.
An examination showed the roots to be
beaded with small knots which a closer
inspection showed to be swarming wit-b
nematodes. . . . .
Although a few specialists have devoted
a considerable time to the study of these
organisms and have enumerated and de
scribed a number of distinct species, we
possess, as already stated, very little infor
mation of any practical value respecting
them. They are so little understood and
the effects of their work, when manifest,
has placed the evil beyond remedy, that
any discussion of treatment seems futile.
In the case of fruit trees, it is possible that
some application may be made to the soil,
e. g., sulphate of iron, that will prove dis
tasteful or destructive to them. Watering
the plants with steepings of tobacco may
have a valued effect j but at present all ex-
periments in this direction can only be
empirical.—F. L. Scribner, in Coleman’s
Rural World.
[We had thought the root-knot was
caused bv a minute worm, as stated above,
but Mr. Ed Hurry of this place, has made
repeated and careful examination of the
roots of peach trees afflicted with the root
knot in different stages, and has not been
able to find the worm or trace him, al-
tbougll his instrument is a very fine one,
aud Mr. Hurry an able microscopist.—

handed. The money
spent. So, in consideration of these facte,
the tribunal allowed Maquet two-thirds
instead of the customary half in a great
number of books and plays forming the
subject of litigation. The coolness result-
ing therefrom between the friends was al
ways more on the surface than in their
hearts; their love was of the quality that
cannot die. A
The books Maquet wrote avowedly
alone, such as the “Belle Gabrielle” and
others, are talented and clever, but lack
the dash and brio which are of Dumas
al A 1 fortnight before his death he was in
Parts, at the Grand hotel, watching the
staging of the **Dame de NIonsoreau at
the opera, and superintending a revival a’,
the Ambigu theatre of that same Jeunesse
des Monsquetaires,” whicn inaugurated his
fame. One evening he left a party of
friends somewhat late, and, regardless of
the bitter cold—trusting to his hurculean
strength of constitution and hardy habits
—he started to walk home unprotected.
He caught a chill, neglected it, grew rap-
idly worse, and died on the following Sun-
da ls before said, Maquet had dwelt for the
last years almost entirely at his oastle of
— 1 Jl J rnmnnsfir ha non
Ste. Mesme, a splendid property he had
purchased, with its huge Louis XV. resi-
dence, its park, woods and coverts, ont of
the proceeds of his pen. He was a great
sportsman, and to the last went out on nis
domains, shooting hares and roebucks,
content to be forgotten. But to be for
gotten or set aside seemed to be his des
tiny; celebrity seemed to drop from him
almost as suddenly as it had been vouch
safed. Not many years ago, having been
proposed by some friends as a candidate
for the French academy, people asked:
“Maquet? Who is that Maquet?” And
when his claims to the great honor were
recalled, the answer was: “Well, well, he
should not bury himself alive. Let him
leave Ste. Mesme, come to Paris, marry a
widow ofa suitable age, give dinners, and
in two years his election will be a set
tled thing.” But Maquet did not follow
the advice, and his nomination was never
mentioned again.
He was loyal, delicate, generous, chival
rous, unassuming to a fault. With the ex
terior of a hero, his long hair, his tall
stature and upright figure, his lone nrna
tache, he was at heart as gentle and retir
ing as the modest scribe ne portrayed in
the charming tale of the Chevalier d Har-
mentbal, of which the greatest part is his
own, though posterity may,perhaps, never
render full justice to his deserts. White the
glorious name of Alexandre Dumas must
shine as a bright star in the firmament of
letters, it is much to be feared that the
humbler one of Maquet will slowly fade
ont of the memory of men, as his person
ality remained in a certain measure ef
faced among his contemporaries, and yet,
perchance, “Monte Crisfco,” “The Mous
quetaires,” “Twenty Years After,” would
never have electrified young and old had
the silent partner not existed.—Chicago
Herald.
Natural Ga* Fever.
Among natural gas phenomena is one
that is very distressing to ladies. The use
of natural gas as a fuel or an illuminant at
first makes them dreadfully ill, wfocb
lasts in most cases about two weeks. Tne
symptoms are severe headache, slight
fever, heaviness of the eyes, extreme
drowsiness, and a feeling of general
debility and distress. The pains in
the head are exceptionally severe, and
physicians are as yet unable to prescribe
anythi ng to afford relief. In two .weeks it
away, when the patient is said to
beacclimated to the natural gas region.
In one hotel in Oil City there are at this
time several ladies, all new comers,
inewith this peculiar complaint, which
has been termed“gas fever. It does not
affect gentlemen as a rale, although a few
of neraous temperament have complained
of these symptoms. The disease is attrib
uted to the large amount of hydrogen in
the natural gas.—Oil City Special.
