The most impressive actof Amer
ican heroism in China was the scal
ing of the wall of Peking by Calvin
P. Titus, a musician of the Fifteenth
Regiment Hand. When the Ameri
cans reached.the south wall of the
Chinese capital, young Titus, a lad
of nineteen, rushed forward with
others to the wall, which is thirty
feet high. Heing the best climber,
he outfooted his companions; and,
on reaching the top of the wall, he
threw down a rope and helped the
dment up. It was a gallant deed,

'Tramp question in the United
states has been a most serious one
r ever since the' introduction of rail
roads. It is estimated that no less
than 10,(WO are carried nightly on
trains, and that 10,000 more are
waiting to steal n ride at the same
time. The Pennsylvania Railroad
has taken a firm stand in the mat
ter, and has equipped a special po
lice force for the purpose of prevent- ,
fug trespassing. Some of the farm- ;
ers, however, do not approve of this j
action, as they obtain mlieh of their
extra help in harvest times from 1
the drifting population. !
In the botanical garden of Her
lin is to be seen a cactus which has
grown for seven years in a glass
flask sealed by fusion; it was pre
sented by a German pharmacist,
I.udgiw Rust, lie explains the
growth of the plant by the fact that
the soil in which it grows contains
a certain quantity of spores of fun
gi, which germinate from time to
time and cover the sides of the ttask
with a greenish layèr. These, in dy
ing, furnish the Carbonic acid nec
essary for the life of the cactus.
This explanation appeared satisfac
tory at first, b)#t it was then asked
from whence came tfifccarjj^mlc acid
for the fungi; again, the pjwhomena
of nutrition which take place in
the gmen parts of tfuÿjGtot require
an excess of carbonic ifeid. This
seems, in fact, to be furnished by
the process of putrefaction which,
takes place jn the soil. Another
question which is more difficult to
answer îb the origin of the water
which Is necessary to maintain the
I life of the plant; this may bederiv
frorti the decomposition of the
ellulose. Howevet these questions
lay be answered, the fact remains
that the plant lives and develops in
hernieticallp closed medium. The
Ixperiment is not difficult to carry
pjt, and its study may 16.nl to in
eresting results.

Recalling the historic incident
clustering about South Carolina's
Executive Mansion. Mrs. Thaddeus
Horton writes, in the October La
dies Home Journal, of the shock
ing tragedy that occurred there to
ward the close of the war. ThiB was
the death of the daughter of Gover
nor Pickens immediately after her
marriage to Lieutenant Le Rochelle,
"On the afternoon preceding the
evening of the marriage the North
ern Army began shelling Columbia,
but preparations for the wedding
continued. Finally the guests were
all assembled and the clergyman
was proceeding with the solemn
ceremony, and had just joined the
right hands of the happy pair, when,
suddenly, there was an awful crash,
and a ball from the enemy's can
non penetrated the mansion and
burst in the middle of the marriage
chamber, scattering its death deal
ing missiles in every direction.
There were screams and a heart
rending groan; mirrors crashed;
the house shook; women fainted;
and walls rocked to and fro.
"When the first confusion was
over it was discovered that in all
the crowd only one person was in
jured, and that was the bride her
self. She lay partly on the floor and
partly in her lover's arms, crushed
and bleeding, pale but very beauti
ful, her bridal gown drenched with
warm blood, and a great cut in her
breast. Laying lier on a lounge, the
frantic bridegroom besought her by
every term of tenderness and en
dearment, to allow the ceremony to
proceed, to which she weakly gave
consent, arid . lying like a crushed
flower, no less white than the ca
mellias of her bridal bouquet, her
breath coming in short gasps, and
the blood flowing from this great,
angi.y wound, she murmured 'ves'
to the clergyman, and received her
husband's first kiss. A moment
more and all was over.
"She was laid to rest under the
magnolias, and the heartbroken
bridegroom, reckless with despair,
returned to his regiment."

MASONIC BLOCK,
Owing to changes in the railway
lines several villages in South Da- I
kota have been put off from the :
railroad. The result is that the vil- j
luges have moved to the new loen- i
lion. In the towns of Bloomington, j
Kdgerton, Obi Platte, Castalia, and
Old Selby one building after an
j other was put on skids and towed
j across the prairie by the means of
i horses and thrasher engines, says ;
I The Railway Review, and in one j
i instance a sf.rttc.turi IP by ."00 feet |
j was moved three miles, and trade j
