HOW HE WAS NICKNAMED
Tree on the Campus Possibly Planted by Senator Voorheos May Have Been the Origin of the “Tall Sycamore of the Wabash," Title.
Mr. J. P. Voorheos’ a tent ion was attracted, the other day, by an object in the campus, which recalls the days when his father, the late senator, was a young, ambitious and energetic student of Asbury. The object was a tree- a sycamour tree— a ’’tall sycamore” tree, the kind from which Mr. Voorhees' father received ids name, “The Tall Sycamore of the Wabash.” A curious fact remains that Senator Daniel W. Voorhee? is said to have planted a sycamore sapling, when, as a student, lie attended Asbury University; and it is further supposed that, from this circumstance, lie came to be called 'The Tall Sycamore.” It is thought that the tree seen by tin* son may he the same as that claimed to have been set out by tin* father. Mr. Voorhees will interest someone in having a proper label placed on the trunk, if this tree should prove to be the one spoken of above. Another account of the manner in which Senator Voorhees is said to have received his nickname of “The Tall Sycamore of the Wabash” is that, in his earlier career upon the stump and as an orator, being verj tall and slender, he had hair the color of the hall of Hie sycamore. He wore the hair cut short and it stood up all over his head, tile latter thus resembling a sycamore ball; and he was called “The Tall Sycamore of the Wabash.”
A Wedding Decoration. Whether it was a mi take or u Joke r .-imply an example of bad taste i/ a quest ion that is still puzzling most of the passengers. But no matte; about that. It certainly was a floral masterpiece. Full four feet It stood from the ground. In the form of u cross. Roses white and roses red composed the body of the cross, and dainty while blossoms and green leaves formed the trimmings. In the center the word ■'Peace” was spelled i llt in rosebuds. Everybody ill the car admired the offering, and when the hoy set it down on the floor all leaned forward to examine it more closely. At length one old gentleman stood up and readjusted his glasses in order to gel a better look at It. "That is a mighty pretty posy you've got there.” he said. “Who, may I ask. is dead?” Tlie boy giggled. “Nobody 't 1 know of,” he said. "This ain’t for a funeral; it’s for a wedding.” The old gentleman sat down heavily. “Good Lord!” he said. "What idiot ever ordered ‘Pence’ inscribed on a wedding decoration?” The rest of the passengers smiled, and many of them, being married, wondered as well, but nobody ventured an explanation. New York Times Death and Snuff. A certain Margaret Wilson of Westminster, who was an inveterate snuff taker, enjoined that a quantity of Seotell Hlinff should he placed ill her eottin. Siie also ordered that the ariungeineiits eonnooted with her fuller al should he as follows; “Six men t" he my bearers who arc known to be the grcnto.-i ■ iiufl’ lakers in the parish of St. Janies. Westminster Instead of mourning, each to wear a snuff colored beaver hat, wlib h I desire may In bought for the p.irpo. e .•itid given to them. Six mal lens of my old tic quahitaiice to bear my pill, each to carry a box filled with the best Scotch snuff, to take for their refreshment as they go along." SnitlV was also to be thrown on the threshold of do ceused’s dwelling before* the cortege passed out, snuff was to he strewn on the ground at every twenty yards In advance of Hie eotlin, and the officiating clergyman’s fee was to he proportionate to tin* quantity of snuff he consumed during the ceremony.- London Globe.

3 INTRUSION. ¥ A'fYYTYTT
i
[Copyright, 1: by American l'ri-s» Asiocialion.] „ No one, excepting the sick restored to health, lias reason to feel more thankful for that wonderful advance' scion-o has made within the last ten or twenty years than 1. But right’ here in the beginning 1 must break i away from my subject to tell a story. Margaret May charmed me by what I I consider the higher traits. She was a sober girl of an intellectual type,I with excellent principles and elevated ideals. I at i not a man to lie pleased with a gay, frolicsome girl, however kind hearted, however winning. It was, therefore, natural that 1 should yield to the characteristics of Margaret. We became engaged, and every thing looked well for our future happiness when my fiancee begau to show a ■ accession of singular changes. Due evening when I went to see her she bounded Into the room tike a holden, threw her anus about my neck, kissed me several (inios in rapid succession and, beginning with "You had boy,” upbraided me for not having come earlier. When 1 asked her for what she had wished me, she said that n circus had come to town, and she was "dying'’ to attend Hint evening’s performance. Astonished, I asked her If the next night would not do as well. She said it would not, and when 1 pressed 1 *r : a he only one flic eoul Li she couldn’t wait. It was altogether too la * to the circus that evening, so I ie rest of it with her in the < /y library where we had passed so many happy hours, often taking hook after book from the shelves, rumbling in them together and ‘ailing each other's attention to favorite passages. Hut, alas, there was no such enjoyment for us tonight. Muraret sp.. ;e of Hie hooks as "musty, dusty thi.i-in which she had no in tore t, nn i insisted in talking only up<.:i the most frivolous topics. It ii needless io say ili.it 1 was not only di i.r | i inted, hui shocked. Could this he m\ steady, well balanced, intelh'cl ua' aiai garcl V I was inclined 0 doubt It. i 'ould It lie her twin sister? 1 l.ncw that .-Ii■ ha 1 no twin sister. 1 cis'ured her prattle as long as I was able; then, telling her that 1 had some work to do before going to lied, 1 rose to go. “And \ ii will take me to the circus tomorrow night?" sin* asked, with n | Mill t. ' Certainly if you wish it,” I replied and when I could escape from an ex ubcratiee of caresses hft her. That night and the next day my brain was in a turmoil. I was like a man wiio hud f t his love. 1 brooded instead of working tiil after office hours and in the evening called to take Margaret to the clivus. The maid who received me at the door went upstairs to announce me and, re turning, told me that Miss May was not feeling well and had gone to lied. There was no message of disappointment at mi. Jug the performance nor at not seeing me. Indeed, the maid told me that she thought her mistress had not expected me that evening. This would have been natural hud it not been for the engagement, since it was an evening I seldom called. Uie in of my usual weekly visits was Sinn I . and I called, dreading to again find the hoidcu. 1 was agree ably dis inted. Margaret was her usual scii except Hint she showed sLns of oici trained nerves. Something told me to refrain from mentioning her singular personality when 1 laid hist seen her, to wait and observe, i Hiring the visii and the next two \ i its she was her own sweet self, barling her altered health. Finally 1 referred to her desire lo visit the circus. She seemed surprised, mystified, and when I told her the whole story said, with a nervous tremor, “Oh, she’ll ruin me!' "Was some one else than you with me that evening?" I asked. "Yes—no. 1 was with you, hut she dominated me.” And she hurried out of the room. I was not admitted lo see Margaret —Indeed, 1 did not cure to see her; 1 was dissatisfied for a month. Then 1 called on her. What was my surprise to find her a different person from either of the two I had known. From Hie moment we met site talked of women’s rights, women’s voting, women’s superiority to men and linally told me that if 1 interfered with her iu un,\ of these objects to which she proposed to devote her life we must proceed by separate paths, 1 left her maddened. Hud 1 not been puzzled as well 1 would have broken ni\ engagement then and there, but euriositj prevented. Several mouths passed in which I continued to visit her, hoping that she would settle down Into her old personality resolutely. When she was another 1 would turn away from her; when she was my own Margaret I loved her still the same. As the holden 1 found it possible to he amused with her; as the “strong minded” woman 1 could not endure her. 1 was not able to get the real Margaret to talk of the other two, but from hints she dropped I inferred that she knew of their existence, and she hated them. One day 1 received a call from a psychical specialist. He informed mo that Margaret was tinder his care; that two other personalities besides her own appeared to inhabit her body and at times dominated her. By psychic methods of his own Invention ho was trying to enable her to dominate thorn and thus return to a normal cnjid I l inn He the Intruders were driven out. and Margaret is my wife.

An Anecdote of Duport and the Emoeror Napoleon. Napoleon, In a way, was fond of music. It is admitted that the musical tastes of “the Corsican ogre" were not elevated. But for all that he loved singing so much that many a time after a concert he ordered the vocalists to come to the palace and sing before him and the Empress Jo-
sephine.
A curious anecdote Is told of his brusque manner of dealing with art Ists. One night at n concert at the Tuilerles, while Duport, the famous violoncellist, was performing a solo, the emperor suddenly entered. Ills majesty nodded his bead approvingly and when the piece was finished said to Duport: “How the deuce do you manage to keep that instrument so motionless?” And, taking up the cello, he tried to jam It between his spurred hoots. Poor Duport nearly fainted when he saw his treasure treated like a war horse. For several minutes lie looked on, trembling from head to foot. At last, however, he darted forward and called out “Sire!” in such pathetic tones that the emperor handed him back the Instrument. Duport thereupon showed how the instrument was held, hut every time his Imperial master extended his hand to attempt to do it himself Duport threw himself hack iu alarm till finally Josephine whispered something to her husband, who hurst out laughing and put nn end to the cello lesson.— New York Sun. SHETLAND PONIES. Active aa Terriers, Sure Footed as Mules, Patient as Donkeys. Shetlands are “foaled in the fields, live in the fields and die in the fields.” They have a rooted dislike for indoor life and thrive best when allowed to feed naturally on green grass, with perhaps hay In winter. Until two years old nature provides a soft, woollike covering. Afterward the mature coat of hair appears, to lie shed each spring, when the ponies appear sleek and handsome. Full grown, they are immensely strong, with wide quarters, powerful legs and a great width and depth over the heart and lungs. And, as Bcngie wrote in 1X7<i in his “Tout In Shetland:'’ “The Shetland pony is the most lovable of animals in the wide creation. They are sprightly and active us terriers, sure footed as mules and patient us donkeys. The horse is accredited as tlie noblest of the lower animals, and the Shetland pony stands at the head of tills noble race as tlie most intelligent and faithful of them all.” The great value of the Shetland to the coal miners lies in its ability to work in the low galleries in thin seamed pits, where other ponies could not travel. Their strength does not correspond with their diminutive proportions, and they will travel thirty miles a day in the seams, drawing from twelve to fourteen hundredweight. Underground their lot is hard, but use becomes second nature, and they are treated, if roughly, not unkindly.- St. James' Gazette.

The Chinaman and His Dragon. If a Chinaman wishes for happiness and peace in tills world and the next he feels obliged to consult Ids majesty the dragon as to where Ids house shall be built and Ids grave be made. Through the earth, so say the Chinese, flow two currents —the dragon and the tiger. Now, for a mini to have good fortune In life or, us lie would say in “pigeon English,” to "catchee chance,” his bouse must be put in a certain position In reference to these currents. If he is to rest quietly iu his grave, that also iiiust he correctly placed. So called "wise men” make a business of choosing favorable sites for homes and graves, professing by means of a wand and incantations and other kinds of tomfoolery to be able to detect the presence of the dragon and tlie tiger and to tell in what direction they flow. Skating. Skating Is believed to have been Invented lu northern Europe in prehistoric times. William FitZ-Stephen speaks of it in London toward the end of the twelfth century, hut It did not really catch hold until the cavaliers who had been in exile with Charles II. brought it with them from Holland. On Dec. 1, Mr. Pepys, having occasion to cross the park, "first in my life, it being a great frost, did see people sliding with their skates, which is n very pretty art.” On the 8th he went purposely to see the sight and again found it “very pretty.”—London Chronicle.
