He was born in Santo Domingo, but wa3 brought to New Orleans by his parents when four years old. His career in the Senate from 1852 to 1860 was especially brilliant, and there was no greater constitutional law yer and orator than he in Congress.

Tliero are “babes in (lie woods” Which nro both beaut iful and of value to llioso who nro seeking tho best invest ment of time and money in transplant- i ing trees. j Autumn is bettor than spring time for the usual methods of transplanting, but wo have found a more oxbolleut way than either of those times affords. . All through tho woods, and under tho | trees on the edges of tho forests and . along the rond-sldo, littlo forest halites, or seedlings, nro springing up. Thoy are | cos’ed away under parent olm aud ' maples, linden aud ash trees. Any I rainy, day from tho first of Juno till on I Into September Is a good timo to select I these sylvan seedlings, and set them whore you wish them permanently tu I stand. ’ Tako an ash-pan and a trails- ! planting trowel, with an old newspapot , or two in your pocket, out under some hard maple of exceptionally lino form nnd size; one it may bo which lias been I admired for its beauty. You pick out ns many ns you want of that kind, t Tako up plfcnty of earth with each, and ! wrap enough papor around tho earth to kocp it in place. Thu heuds of the mn- plo forest babies are from two to four inches high, and peep cunningly out oi tliuir nest in tlie asli-pnn. 'i hey are nut i snugly in among their cousins of oilier desired varieties, and in nn hour or less you return with a score ormoroprooious prizes, it may be well to set oocli one in the ground, with tho pnpor still around the roots nnd earth. The pnpor —unless them is more of it limn is neees ary—will do no harm if left on, and Inking it off might displace the soil around tho tiny rootlets. Wo want ol course to remove tho forest baby from its old homo to its now ono, without its knowing it has been moved. Thus, with tlie expenditure of loss timo ami money than is needed to transplant a treo ton feet high, twenty or more nro sot. In ton years, tho two tnch forest baby will bo larger than Its neighbor which was Icn or twelve feet tail, anil set, it may be, some wocks or months earlier. 'I lie baby, during the lifo ot both, will outgrow tho oLhor. It will also continuo to grow long after the other has reached maturity; ns it never had ono hundredth part tho root dis turbance which has been suffered by tho other. No more skill or work titan is noodod to transplant cabbages is required for this treatment of forest babies. A large proportion of tlie trees usual ly transplanted, except bv tlioso consid erably skilled in suck work, fail to grow. Tliorol'oro llioso unskilled sel dom even try. This method when it becomes known will largely multiply tho number of those who ongago in transplanting ns well ns inoroefto the re sults of a given amount ol work per capita in this department of silvaoult- nro. Those engaged in the good work of Inaugurating treo-pluntiug clays in tho several States may perhaps do well to consider those suggestions. A few hours judiciously spent in this kind of “ baby farming" may, a dozen years thereafter, thus transform soino previously unsightly homo in town or m country into one worth several limi- drod dollars more than it would other wise havo been worth. All this simply iiy beautifying it and so adding to its actual salable value. Loss than ono dollar’s worth of timo rainy days may havo boon the only investment required to secure this result.—Oco.

A story which is exciting considerable amusement is related of an occurrence ivliicli tool; place a few days sinco in an adjoining town. A retired clergyman from tliio city was invited to conduct a funeral in tho town. IIo applied to a well-known liveryman for a quiet horse, and was given a veteran pacer, which in years long gono by had mudo fast timo, tint was supposed to have outgrown all such vanities. The clergyman journeyed quietly to his destination, and held tho ■« rvices at tho house of tho deceased. When tlie funeral procession was ready to stain for the cemetery tho ministery was some distance from his i>roper place at tlie head of Hie column. As tbo pro cession was waiting for him lie urged his steed to n fnster pace, aud to accelerate tho speed of the animal ho pulled upon tho reins. This was a fatal proceeding, for tlie animal had been trained to go for all bo was worth when tho reins were drawn tight. The familiar pressure re vived old recollections, and tlio animal took t \o bit between itn teeth and passed tlie astonished mourners nnd friends at a 2:40 gait. The clergyman exerted all his strength to cheek the speed of bis steed, but vvithont success. Tlie harder he pulled the luster tbo animal went,' and in a vi*y few minutes the minister and his horse nnd carriage disappeared in a cloud of dust. Tlie friends of tbo de ceased were very much annoyed by tho occurrence, and the unfortunate clergy man was very much mortified by the con duct of his horse. Satisfactory explana tions were made, however.—Jloc/iesler Herald. Bam-uoldi's statue of Liberty is nearly completed.
