OUR NEW 
AMERICAN LEVER WATCH! 
Judge Wagner granted ex-Senator Chris- 
tancy a divorce from his wife on the ground 
of desertion Wednesday. 
King Humbert of Italy has conferred the 
decoration of the order of the crown of Italy 
on Col. J. Schuyler Crosby, late American 
consul at Florence. 
Nigger minstrel quotations, per week: Gus 
Williams, $175: Billy Emerson, $250: Billy 
Rice, $100; Sam Devere, $150, Leon $160; and 
so down to song and dance men at $20 a head. 
Senator Logan went to the Arkansas Hot 
Springs a few months ago for the cure of a 
rheumatic affection. As a result of his visit 
an army hospital is to be established there at 
a cost of $ KM),000. 
Gov. St John finally declares that nobody 
need worry about the exodus negroes in Kan¬ 
sas. Some of them are poor, but none are 
suffering and the State can give help to all 
entitled to it. 
At his home at Mansfield, Ohio, Senator 
Sherman lives in a fine house built on an 
eighteen-acre lot in the outskirts of and over¬ 
looking the city. In front of the house the 
ground is laid out in lawns and drives, while 
at the rear are large gardens and an orchard, 
which are Mr. Sherman’s especial pride. 
There are hundreds of apple, pear and peach 
trees and grape vines in the orchard, all of 
which bear luxuriantly. None of the fruit 
is ever Bold, but among the poor people of the 
city it is freely distributed by the basketful 
to those who have no fruit and are unable to 
buy. 
One of the most extensive tree planters in 
the world is declared by the English journal, 
Land, to be the Duke of Atbole. Every year 
it says he plants from 600,000 to 1,000,000 
trees. During the present season he has cov- 
ejed with trees a plantation of some 2, / ’0C 
acres. By the gale which destroyed the Tay 
bridge his plantations were denuded of 80,000 
trees. One of the Dukes of Athole is still 
known as the Planter Duke. In the year 1774 
his Dunkeld hills were almost entirely bare, 
and he began to plant on a large scale. Be¬ 
fore he died he had planted 27,000,000 trees, 
which covered 15 000 acres. 
Captain Mayne Reid, the novelist, who 
lives at Frogmore, England, has been granted 
a pension of fifteen dollars a month by the 
United States Government. He was a seer nd 
lieutenant in the (irst New York Volunteers, 
and went through the stirring scenes of the 
Mexican War, getting bullets at Chepulsepec 
and other impressions for future use in story 
books. His claim was filed about two years 
ago. He sets forth in his affidavit that he is 
quite poor, living on a small hired farm, and 
that the fifteen dollars a month will help out 
his meagre income and make him comforta¬ 
ble. He is sixty-three years old.
