Under Canvas.
Cin. News Journal.
The reporter woudeied at its im
mensity last night, as he & trolled
through the enormous canvases
spread tor Cincinnati's "first grand
circus festival on LincoIn'Fark lot
He wondered at the numberless
ropes, whes. and marvelous rigging
away up, sixty feetabove the ground.
Mr. John Robison told him they
were for his new European atrial
performers. He said : "About one
j'ear ago I dispatched my agent,
abroad with instructions to visit all
:th'fc great -capita'-s et Europe and
Btay there until he could secure,
if it were possible, male and female
performers who could and would
invent some new aerial acts, as J
had grown tired of old familiar faces,
old names, and old, time worn acts,
and thoagbt everybody else tired
also. How well my agent suc
ceeded may be judged from the
amount of rigging up in the canvas
It look like a big ship under sail.
We have men and womin "Sying
through the air, we have them
walking on stilts and revolving
globes vn fciid air. We -liave aerial
bicye'e riders, agrial queen's who
slide by their hir attached to tiny
wires, stretch ed from one end of the
canvas to the other. We have aeri
al kings and queens who dive head
long from the op of the highest
peak of the pavillion to a netting
only a$sw leet above the ground.
We have trapeze aerialists. Lech-
elle aerialists, and aerialists who
dea'I then-difficult feats blindfolded.
In fact I cannot 3)egin to tell you
half of their acts; they hive so
many that it is actually bewilder
ing. Yoa can't well conceive how
th-y have taxed lheir ingenuity in
inventing their many hair breadth
escaping acts.
Noticing the menacrie 'tent was
about ten times larger than ever,
the reporter ventured to ask about
that part of the festival covering:
"Oh yes ; we had to have it to
accommodate our ten big "menager
ies. You see, our last shipment of
animals for which we refused by
cable message $132,000 trom the
Londor Zoological Garden, on'y ar
rived here last Saturday morning.
The colection consists ot sufficient
animals to make four full fledged
menageries of the every day sort.
"The 100 calcium and Bengal
lights, the tri-colored Roman can
dles, the 2.000 men bearing torches,
the dozeu different kinds of music,
the 1,000 elephants, camels, and
horses ; the waving banners, shout
ing multitudes; the 100 gorgeous
tableau cars, golden chariots, aud
magn'ficeutly decorated wild an
nual cages, the red, blue, and green
fire, and glittering wardrobes will
create a never to be forgotten scene
t)f dazzling plendor, and only hap
pens to a man once in a man's
lifetime.''

SOME NOTED TREES.
Interesting Subject for
School Children.
Arbor Day was generally cel
ebrated by the schools in most
of the cities of the State. The
day was devoted to planting
memorial trees and talks
about trees ; trees peculiar, use
ful, historical, &c. Also the best
methods of planting and pruning
Our school did not celebrate the
day, but due opportunity yet is
afforded before vacation, to de
vote one day from the dull text
books, to study a lesson from
the leaves ot nature.
No more interesting and in
structive subject could be chosen
than Trees. The child does not
eat a meal but the fruit of some
tree graces the table. The child
can not look off its book, but the
face of a Tree smiles upon his
vexed countenance, and cheers
his tired eye. Trees are the ev
er living, all sunounding mis
sionaries and monitors of the -Divinity,
preaching wholesome les
sons and pure aspirations. Some
time when the raiment ot spring
clothes the now bare branches,
and when the blossoms beautify
and preach the Resurection, it
would be a good idea for our
teachers and pupils to spend a
day in the woods and talk about
the Trees,
A pleasant feature f Arbor
Day in many schools was a dis
cussion on Noted Trees. All na
tions have had their noted Trees,
historical and legendary .land
marks. Our country s not ster
ile in this respect. Every school
boy knows of Charter Oak,
Penn's Treaty Tree, Pontiacs
Tree. Jane McCray Tree, to
say nothing of the Sour Apple
Tree on which it was proposed
to hang Jeff Davis.
The Miami Apple tree, at Fort
Wayne Indiana, is twenty-four
feet in diameter. It was planted
by the early French missionaries,
and is the largest fruit tree
in the world. The oldest living
thing in New York city, is the
Suyvesant Pear tree, planted by
Governor Stnyvesant in 1647.
The weeping willow tree has a
history that is interesting. It is
briefly this: Alexander Pope,
author of Milton's Paradise Lost,
was once asked by a grand Eng
iish Lady Lady Howe, to write
a description of a piude. The
poet did so, and so exactly de
scribed the haughty Lady Howe
that she conceived a bitter ha
tred for the poet and persecuted
him to his grave. She bought his
home place. In his little yard
was a weeping willow which he
had grown from a branch that
was used to tie up a bunch of
figs sent to him by a friend from
Smyrna. The vicious Lady Howe
destroyed everything lhat Milton
had planted. A young British
officer secured a sprig of the wil
low tree and coming with his
regiment to America planted it
at Abinglon,Vhe patrimonial es
state of Custis, stepson of Wash
ington. The tree was destroyed
during the wars of the Revolu
tion, but Gen. Gates got a branch
and planted it joti his farm at
Rose Hill, now a part of New
York City, where the tree still
stands. From this tree all the
weeping willows of the country
have their origin. Some fine phi
losophizing might be drawn from
the Prudes Spite, but this we
leave to the class on composi
tions. No doubt many of our pupils
have seen the famous Logan
Elm beneath whose branches le
gend tells us the old Indian war
rior made his memorable speech.
The tree stands in a great level
plain 'cm the isxiL of Mr. Boggs,
of Pickaway county, about seven
miles from Circleville. It is low
branching, the trunk not being
over thirty feet. Ttfe branches
exiend nearly horozon tally from
the trunk, and are forty or fifty
ieec in lengm, giving me tree a
width of nearly one hundred
feet. It is as broad as it is high.
The tree is enclosed by a sub
stantial fence, -and a few years
ago showed no signs of decay.
Hocking county has some no
ted trees, a few only of which we
will mention, hoping that our
readers and the school children
who know of otliers, will send us
a description for publication in
the Sentinel.
A noted tree in Hocking was a
big Beech, some miles beyond
Ilesboro, near the mouth of Ash
Cave Canon. The first pioneers
of the township disf-overed the
tree, with this inscription cut in
the bark, "The road to Hell."
The inscription showed unmista
kable signs of age, but by whom
marked, and when, can only be
conjectured.
About fifty years ago, a huge
Bee Tree stood on the southern
edge of our county. When cue
it fell across the stream upon tfce
bank tf which it grew, and so
abundant was the honey, that it
jfilied the stream and flowed a
considerable distance, giving the
name Honey Fork, to the creek,
which name it still retains.
A noted tree is "Ewings Tree,"
the big Walnut, on the farm of
Wilford Stires,near Haydenville.
The tree is about nine feet in
diameter, and sixty or seventy
feet to the first limb. It is the
largest tree in the county and
largest walnut on record. The
tree stands in the rich soil of the
valley, and those wise in wood
craft, estimate it at the age of
six bundled years. Formerly the
farm belonged to Thomas Ewing
"Old Tom," and so highly did
he prize the tree that when he
sold the farm he reserved the
tree, with several rods of groand
surrounding it. The tree is a
grand monument to '.he Old Salt
Boiler and Wood Chopper, and a
gift to the people of the valley
which we should prize and guard
as a sacred trust.
A big tree noticed in Logan
pioneer days was a Scycamore
that stood on the ground now
owned by Rochesters, just across
the canal. The tree was about
twenty-two feet across at the
ground and hollow. It was a
great resort in the early day for
the bad boys hiding in its ca
pacious embrace the little
camps who would rather play
cards than go to Sunday School.
In clearing off the ground the
tree caught fire -and burned down.
All vestiges have since disap
peared, bul many of our sedate
citiEens and good church-going
members will recall the old tree
in which they used to hide on
Sunday from parental eye, and
play the forbidden game of "sev
en up.rt
A Tree of political notority was
the Big Buckeye. Our State is
called the Buckeye State, and in
1S10 the Buckeye and the Hick
ory, the tree types of Whig and
Locofoco, had due importance.
The Big Buckeye grew on the
farm of John Westenhaver. It
was about five feet in diameter,
and fifty feet to the first limb.
Father John Rochester, then a
man in his prime, got the men
and Westenhaver gave the tree.
It was cut'down and thirty-two
feet of it carved into a canoe.
To save the canoe from 'destruc
tion by the Locofocoe's, it was
guarded night and day. When
finished it was painted and let
tered with the following words:
"Tip and Tyler, will bust Van's
biler."
The Buckeye canoe was placed
upon a wagon drawn by eight
s
horses. Thirty two men
passage, and the Harrison
gation, thus organized,
took
Lan
hauled to a big meeting in
caster.
Thus the boy of to day oan see
that our fathers were in politics,
and the Trees were significant
actors, if not orators, on occasions
of popular demonstration.
A noted Apple Tree stands on
the farm xTf Mr. Bates, across the
river, formerly owned by Cap
Bowen. The tree was planted
by a pioneer named Moore,
grand-father of the Webb's. It
was planted in the year 1800,and
is still living, although in decay.
It stands on the plateau on the
south bank of the river, and is
the oldest known fruit tree in the
county.
We hope with these few in
stances we have named from
hasty recolection, our young
readers will be -incited to study
Treeology and furnish us with
such items of big and noted trees
as -may -come to their knowl
edge, and that our schools, act
ing in the spirit of the age, will
give a day to the study of the
Book of Nature, and thus be
made happier and better Fiom
the lessons which the trees teach
us.

The years that Miss. Hitchen lived

and her entrance into the rest of
heaven. B.
