A T/Irft of the Big Tree* PoOKisi tn Various IhOMs of England*-Noted Specimen*. j&den hall, the residpaceof the late Sir Richard Musgrove, is famed for eeveral ■memorable trees. Tlie finest are two re- 'Tuavkable specimens of wdars of Lebanon, ‘Supposed to be 270 years'old. Tlie trees are planted as a pair and haw a spread of 105 feet diameter, with great bush? heads, and are dull quite healthy azki sound. Brougham hall, the residence of Lord Brougham and Yatix, is notable for a famous old avenue of oaks and walnut. Originally it was formed -of two rows of ‘oaks and one«of walnut. Only two wal nut trees now remain, but the mks are still nearly intact and sound, healthy trees. This avenue was planted as an ap proach to tlie fine old castle, and must " date from an early period, as they are all shown in full growth on some very old plans of “the castle grounds. One oak girths sixteen feet, with at least twenty feet erf a straight bile, and aH are about sixty feet high. Dalemain, the residence of Squire Hasell, has aveuae oaks which form one of the sights of Cumbcrkuid. They are planted in two'distinct avenues, the first as you approach the hall from Penrith and the second by tlie private road from Dacie-hall and church. On either road you may drive through an avenue <of oaks, each awnue aboutn mile long, ■Grey stoke '•castle, the residence of II. ‘C. Howard, Esq., is surrounded by fine plantations, which were formed in 17445 by the date duke of Norfolk. Owing to •their' high elevation these have mot at tained remarkable dissensions, but. they are decidedly remarkable for the great •improvement they hav-e made in the land- j scape of <the district and for their forest value. .A remarkable specimen of the • silver-fir (allies pectivsata) standsciear the castle, which is ninety-seven feet high and measures fifteemand a half feet girth. It lias a fine tapering habit, a»d -is still a sound, healthy tree. Lowther castle, the residence of the historic family of Lowther, is .famed for its avboricultural gains of antiquity. The oaks can safely be registered as:one of the “county lions,” particularly those which are dotted over Unit portion .of the park called the Elysian field, all .being noble specimens and several supposed to he 1,000 3'ears old. They show their an tiquity by having'hollow trunks, hut still show good heads wf foliage. The common ash is represented at Low- ither by two vonecrihle trees, mow hi’ rea son of their age hoary with antiquity. They are very appropriatelyvcalled Adam and Eve. They .are supposed to he about 800 3'ears old. Their girth,is twenty-two feet four inches and twenty-tone feet seven inches respectively. Edmond Castle, the residence of Regi nald Graham, Esq., has many noble trees, prominent being the Lebanon cedars planted by the la.se F. H. vGraliam, Esq., : Stone house, Hay ton, the residence of Gen. Sir John Ross, has some interesting trees. One is -a fine specimen of the evergreen oak, .the finest in the country. Bray ton hall, tlie residence, of Sir Wilfrid Lawson, possesses some fine trees. Three remarkably formed larch trees grow on . the lawn, and are supposed to have been of the original .trees introduced into this . county. All are about .fifty feet high, with fine sound holes andkeautiful rough ribbed hark. There also (is a fern leaved beech about sixty-three feet, high; girth nine feet two inches, and .192 circumfer ence of spread in splendid foliage. It. is of a fine bushy pyramidal form. This is the largest and best specimen in tlie • country. Corby castle, the residence of P. J. C. Howard, Esq., is famous Jor its romantic .position and the Ixiautiful sylvan views beside the banks of the Eden. The plantations were formed by Thomas Howard, Esq., almit 1720. and he formed .them principally of Scotch pine and ; larch. These have .attained maturity, ; and the greater portion liave lieen cut. .The old oak, elm, and sycamore that re main are evidently of a much older date. Naworth castle, the residence of the Earl of Carlisle, was famed in history as vthe home of the border *shief * ‘Belted Will.” who flourished about the year 1560. A fine old specimen <of the com mon yew, sound and healthy, still re mains close to the castle, which is men tioned in the records of the period of 1560 as.a fully develojied tree, and according to vwhich it is safe to presume that this tree, is at least 500 years .old That the the; tree, after 6p many centuries of • growth, should still be in the greatest health and vigor is certainly remarkable. —(Gardener’s Chroniele. A Climatic Peculiarity, A corresiiondent of an eastern paper points out the fact that at Lucerne, in the southern part of this state, a high range of thermometer—he puts it at 116 —can be endured even by the workers in the field without a great deal of inconven ience. He attributes the fact to the move ment of the coast winds, and the cool nights which tend so much to recupera tion. This condition of the atmosphere is not peculiar to Lucerne and southern Cali fornia. It is common also to central and a part of upper California. It is a well established fact that in this state 90 degs. of heat does trot cause a great deal of personal discomfort. It can be endured much more *>asily than 76 degs. at the east. Tlie higher range with us is not j attended with wilted collars, nor crushed wristbands, except in the case of violent exertion. The reason is not exclusively the prevalence of coast winds, but the dryness of the atmosphere. The heat absorbed Ly the system at once radiates in all directions. At the east, in conse quence of the greater moisture of tlie atmosphere, the heat is retained. Cali fornians have been known to flee precipi tately from New York with a ther- mometrical range of from 76 to 80 degs,, though 10 degs. more would not render them uncomfortable in the southern •country, or the Sacramento or San Joaquin valleys. The radiation outward of the heat is also supjxised to account for the absence of sunstroke, and of rabies among dogs.—San Francisco Bulletin. “The Waterbury." R. D. COLE MANUFACTURING CO., NEWNAN, GEORGIA. Wise Mercantile Maxims. A thoroughly honest clerk can always command a better salary than one of equivocal habits. He who has traded out bis neighbor’s good opinion is pretty sure to die a poor man, however lfigli the price for which he sold it. When business is attended with mi nuteness of detail, strict punctuality, it runs evenly, without jar or friction, and insures success. It is statistical truth tliafcno single cause leads to more disasters than the use of liquors, not necessarily through drunken ness. hut the enfeehlingof the judgment.

Nellie Grant's Xittlo Daughter. Nellie Grant’s daughter, little Vivian Sartoris, is a beautiful child. Playing oil the beach at Long .Branch with her maid the other day, she was a picture of at tractive childhood, delicate, quick. and intelligently American, rather than ro bustly English. She is not in the least like her father, but inherits her mother’s eyes, brunette complexion and shapely hands, with a hint of Gen. Grant aliout the forehead and rather prominent e;u - s. Mrs. Sartoris ch esses her with great taste, and the -child is .an unaffected, happy creature. A lady with two children a little younger than Vivian, chubby creat ures both, passed near- the child and said something to her little people which evi dently interested them very much. The tots looked at each other a minute, then ran up to Gen. Grant's granddaughter and emptied the treasured stones and shells they had picked up in their walk into a dainty straw basket that she car ried. They trotted away again without saying a word.—New York Mail and i Express. lire Early Americans. The early Americans were representa tives of the stone age inmost cases, al though a few possessed the knowledge of metals. They were particularly clever stone workers, .and the samples of tlieir workmanship .show them well versed in the arts of the potter. In clay molding they were also skillful. T,*ie textile arts were practiced, such as cotton and wool spinning and weaving. Cotton was ex tensively raised an Mexico, and Yucatan, and two species of goats were acclima tized to Peru for the sake Of their wool. —Boston Budget ,JV.vctclied ami Miserable Somes. It*is a constant subject of inquiry why therefore so mail}- deserted wives in our •city: why so many men, when trouble •overtakes them, run away from their homes, leaving the burden of .toil and sorrow.'to fall upon the wife and mother; wiryjtiis that so many men get drunk, neglect their wives, neglect their-children, making (their homes wretched and .miser able when those homes should be.*? they are intended to be, spots of earth!}* ^ra- dise? The:answer will be found on the disposition -to separate families, young children being sent to the west, a sick child or a sick father to the hospital, all resulting from the overcrowded dwell ings of the masses and in the street influ ences so destructive to the tender associa tions of the home. Persons so reared are ill fitted to assume the responsibilities of married life, and when such duties come to them know little of what is required of them. A poor home is better than no home, and poor nursing at home is more to be desired for the individual and the community than the .most skillful nursing in tlie hospital.—Physician in New York Tribune. Height of the Eskimos. Mr. W. A. Ashe, of Quebec, reports that the Eskimos living near- Hudson Straight have a mean height for the men of 5 feet 3.9 inches, and for the women, about 5 feet.
