In reply to tlie query whether branches which are now too iow for convenience will get higher in time when tlie trunk of tlie tree lengthens, Meehan, in his Il lustrated Monthly, says: It is a general impression that the trunks.of trees lengthen, but this is not the case. The trunk of a tree, being once formed, does not lengthen a frac tion, no matter if it lives to 100 years’. A branch from a trunk that is now, say. gix feet from the ground will have the center of that branch still six feet from the ground no matter how many years elapse. If branches are therefore now too low, they had better be cut off at onee. Again, it is worth remembering iu cutting off branches that they should always be ent close to the truuk or to any main branch, so that the wound may heal over. If the branch is very town, whore he crossed the Potomac to tbe Virginia side. Booth was traced through Snrrattsville aqsl knowing that he stopped at the old tavern, a guard of soldiers was placed about the house and j Lloyd was practically kept a prisoner of war for some days. After Booth was shot and Mrs. Surratt, Harold and others arrested, Lloyd was brought to this city and confined in the old capitol prison as a witness. He was the princi pal witness against Mrs. Surratt in the aeusatioual trial which followed. A Bail Boy Bandit.

Last Calling Upon the French People to Re- instate the Monarchial Govern ment-—Tho Two Leading Parties' Estranged. Paris, Dec. 22.—Bonapartists are now stepping to the front to take advantage of tEi?difficulties of the repnblic. The activity of. the Royalists has aroused the jealousy of the Imperialist leaders, <md at a secret conclave they drafted a mani festo addressed to tiie people of France, urging them to recall the house of Bon aparte to tho throne. The manifesto has not yet been issued bnt awaits the approval of Prince Vic tor, the present recognized head of the imperial family. Prince Victor is n«w in Brussels, and the Bonapartist leaders in Paris have sent agetlts to that city to induce.him to sign tho manifesto aud authorize its publication. Prince Victor Hus linen Living* in comparative retirement recently, bnt has Dept a careful watch upon the conrso of events, aud has been found fully equal to any crisis that may arise, and while prudent as to talcing any de cisive step, he will be positive and cour ageous in action when once the step is taken. The Imperialists have been canvass ing earnestly tiie sufferers among the deputies, but not with much success, as the chances of a revolution against the republican government seem to increase the division between the Monarchists and Bonapartists widen. Members,of parties heretofore on com mon ground as opponents of the repub lic no\f show considerable jealousy as to which party will profit by the diffi culties ,of the repul die.
