AN INTERESTING CANE.
ftlistle nt of 1,100 Different pifcas
Wood, »ud Valued at !$3,o:).
Willliaui E. Yale, a wealthy bach
elor, has a cane that he carries with
him. which undoubtedly the most
costly and unique of anything of the
bind in the world. The stick contains
about 1,100 pieces of wood. Each
pieee is cut in si curious ana artistic
shape, so that the cane with tha vari
ous colored and shaped woods litis a
strange appearance. Mr. Yale planned
and made the cane, and worlc upon it
consumed weeks of labor at different
linvs in the eonrsn of several years.
Si\ty of tho l,l(() pieces of wood are
of groat value to relic hunters.
The head ot' the cane is made from a
post in the house of .Shakespeare's
birth-place at Stratford, England.
Set-in the heart is a small lock of
white hair from Martha Washington's
head, the lock having been given Mr.
Yale thirty years ago by Robert E.
Lee, a descendant of Mrs. Washing
ton. There is a piece of wood from
the birth-place of Napoleon, on the
island of Corsica, and one from Na
poleon's writing desk at St. Helena.
Other pieces of the cane came from
the Charter Oak, from the home of
John Adams, from a chair of Oliver
Cromwell, from the home of John
Hancock, from the Mayflower, Roger
Williams' pew, from a desk of Abra
ham Lincoln, from a penholder of
Gladstone, from a ruler that Garfield
used at. school, from a penholder of
Longfellow, from a trunk that La lay
ette used during the revolutionary
war, from the bed upon which Joii :i
Wesley died suid from the guillotine
upon winch Louis XVI. and Marie An
toinette were beheaded.
Mr. Yale spent years and much car a
in collecting the relics. He has been
offered 82,000 for the cane, which is
trulv a wonder. He will leave it to
the historical department oi CornelJ
university when hs dies.
Import-Hit liut Not Kmanttal.
At tho other night, there was
a temperance lecture in the chapel of
one of the churches. 'J he gentleman
who was to preside did not show up
Itnd a man known to have a deep in
terest in tlift temperance caurc was
called upon to act in his place. Mr. S.
Is a very nervous man who easily g'ets
rattled. He struggled to his feet and
this is what he said "Ladies and
gentlemen—Since Brother is not
here to aplc the blessing of God to rest
upon this meeting we will proceed
with the business and do the best we
can without it. Amen."
