Notes and Opinions, The present house has uneeated nine Democrats. There is an old oak tree in the State of Georgia that is twenty-seven feet in diameter. The magnolia tree was named after a Frenca professor Magnol, a natural. ist, Who died in 1710. At Oreville, Cal., there is a cherry tree only eighteen years old which is six feet through the trunk. Too much sitting over the fire and too little outdoor exercise is fatal to the beauty of the lips. The sacred bo-tree of Ceylon is said to have sprung from a slip of the tree under which Buddha was born. Twelve hundred acres of land in the viciaity of Youngstown, O., have been leased by Ohio capitalists and will be developed fur coal and gas. A German inventor has evelved a bi- cycle trougers which, by pulling a string, can be transformed from the knickerbocker to the long garment, and vice versa. In eighty years the Dukes of Bed- ford have spent $8,000,000 in improv- ing one estate ia Cambridgeshire; from which they draw $6 anacre rent. The land yields thirty-six bushels of wheat to the. ace. The Washington Post thinks that Mark Hanna should lay aside all cour- tesy and make that nomination on the first ballot. There will be plenty of time for courtesy alter the convention adjourns. It was reported in St. Louis that the Eastern opponents to the nomination of Major McKinley as the Presidential candidate have formulated plans to place $1,000,000 in St. Louis to help carrying the convention for an Eastern man. : Laughinghouse-Daul. On yesterday morning, at 7 o'clock. in the Methodist Church in this place, Rev. Mr. Earnhardt officiating, Dr. Charles O’Hagan Laughinghouse und Miss Carrie Dail, the charming and eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs, W. Haywood Dail, were united inthe’ holy estate of matrimony.

No longer ago than yesterday it was said that there was less probability of States and Spain thanat any time since ish banners are to be believed, that wa® altogethor wrong. The El Heraldo one of the leading newspapers of Mad- rid, for instance says that Spain is no onger fighting the insurgents, but that exclusively. But read what it eays: “The problem ot the war isnot in Ha- vana; itis in Washington. It this should continue, gur Generals will be ‘discrediated, our army harrassed, and we shall gain nothing. We must fight or compromise, and as our hands are tied by the Uuited States, it is with the American republic that the compromise would havetobemade. * * * We accept advices and recrimirfations from Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Olney as to how we should administer justice. One step mor and this intrusion will lead to an international compact. It would be shameful for Spain. Is there any Spaniard who has the courage to go 80 far? Our policy is that not for 100 milation.” ‘The same journal publishes an ar- ticle from the pen of a distinguisued military man in Madrid, who after surveying the situation says; “Our enemy is in Washington. If this con- tinues, a catastrophe is imminent. We must put an end to this shame if we can ; if not, let us at once renounce the task ax one which 1s either beyond our strength or unworthy of us. “The opinion of the loyal friends of the delay of the rainy season, if Gen. Weyler is not allowed all liberty of ‘action, our now scant hopes will be killed. The rebels receive daily fresh supplies of arms and am- muvition. Itis not possible to send to Pina del Rio any forces from cities would be exposed to the attack of the filibustcrs. It was expected that the volunteers would be willing to as- they have remained in silence.” The El Heraldo says: “We must fight or compromise”—well, which is it 7 States is not at war with Spain, but nobody is holding Spain if she feels like going to war with us. —Norfolk Vir, ginia.

In the Detroit Electrical works there is a night watchman who possesses an exceptionally fine tenor voice, and when te has nothing else to do he sings to keep himself awake, says the Detroit Tribune. Up in the big telephone ex- change a dozen girls are told off for night duty. They are, like the tenor, fond of the songs of the day, but, unlike him, they are pot allowed to.sing; and they grow lonely after thecalls begin to be few and far between and the mur- mur of the street traffic below has ceased. Some months ago, it is related, one of the girls who had answered a call from the electrical works, overheard the watchman singing his favorite song. She listened as long as she could with- out arousing the ire of the unmusical individual at the other end of the line, and then confided her discovery to the rest of the girls. There was a short but eager council of war, and the girl who made the discovery was deputed to call up the harmonious watchman and ask him for asong. The watchman, who must be. quite a. phenomenon in that he is a tenor and also “an extreme- ly bashful young man,” required _a lit- tle coaxing, but eventually complied with the request, All the other girls “eut in” on the line, and the watchman was encored so often that his throat was sore when the.concert was finished. But this unique tenor is as fastidious as he is shy. It is said that there was only one girl at the “central” who can induce him to sing, and she'¥s the maid- en who made the original long-distance- concert discovery. When the other girls begin to grow tired at night, she calls) up the electrical works, and the watch-? man sings for her, unconsefous of the fact that-all the girls have. “cut in” on the line, and that he is.singing to the entire night-foree of the exchange. The others hint. that there fs a romance in it, but that is a matter which concerns only the young watchman and the girl at the “central.” OUR PLAYING CARDS. - Arrow-Shapod Characters. “1 have it,” exclaimed nn enthusiastic whistplayer who was engaged in a rub- ber ata Madison ayenue whist club, re- fates the New York Herald. “No you haven't,” answered his part- ner. “It was trumped.” acters on the cards, puzzled me.’ Ihave studied the matter, read all that has been written on the subject and have never until this mo- ment been satisfied as to how the cards came to bear the shapes, we call hearts, | diamonds, einbs and spades.
