"Hallos, L'unpy, the cars will start in a minute- lllllTV UD. Of WB IUHI1 ' i ' leavo you bfhind." Tho cars were waitliiff at a station of oue of the western railroads. The haggnjre master was busy with checks. Tho ruen were hurrying to and fro with chests, valise, packages and trunks. Men, women and children were rnshin;' lir the cars, and hastily securiiiij thuir Seals, while the loeooio live blowed, snorted and puffed. A man, carelessly dressed, was standing on the platform of tho depot. He was i looking around him.aud seem ingly paid little attention to what was passing. It was easy to see that he was lame. At a hasty glance one might easily have supposed that he was a man of neither wealth nor influ enza. The conductor cave him a con- teinptous look, and slapping him fa miliarly on tlio snouiuer, caneu out. 'Halloa. Limnv : better eel aboard or the cars will leave you behind." . . . - -1- i "lime enougb, I reckon, replied tlio individual, and he maitained bis seemingly listless position.

The lame man made no reply. tl lint HB LIJU kf ill ll u ao diw j iiiw away the lame man stepped onto the ?. .... t 11 J list as tlio tram was siowiy moving plattorm ot tlie last car, ana waiKing :.. . . l .. l. in nmi'tlv tnnk a Seat. 1-he train had moved on a few mi.es w hen t ie conductor appeareu at me door of the car where our friend a. itiino-. Passim alonsr. he soon dis covered the stranger he had seen at the depot. "Hand out your money, here. "I don't pay," replied the lame man very quietly. "Lfon'i pay f "No, sir." ."We'll see about that ; I shall put vou off at the next station." and he teized the valise which was on the lack above the head ol our lame friend. "Bette. not ho so rough, young man," returned the stranger. The conductor released the carpel bag for a moment, and seeing he could do no moro thenjie passed on to collect the faro from the other passengers, As he stopped at a seat a lew paces off, a gentleman who had heard the conversation just mentioned looked at the conductor and asked him: "Do you know the gentleman to whom you were speaking just now ?" "No, sir."- "That was Peter Warburton, the president of the road." 'Are you sure of that?" replied the conductor, trying to conceal his agi tation. "I know him " The color rose a little to the young man's face, but with a strong effort he controlled himself, and went on collecting his fare as usual. Meanwhile, Mr. Warburton sat quietly in hi seat none ot those near him could unravel the expression o his face, nor tell what would be the next movement in the scene. And he of what thought he? He had been rudely treated, he had been uukindly taunted with the infirmity, which per haps had come lliioiigl fault of his. He could revenge himself if he chose. He could tell the directors the simple iruihj and the young man would be dep rived of his place at once. Should he do it? And yet, why should he care ?

Strangers visiting Oakhnd and Al- meda, notice ciauutul trees standing much higher than any of the ancient oaks. These are ihe tamous eucalypti, which although planted only ten or twelve years ago, have shot up into young giants. Some of theso are sev enty ieet in h.yhl, measuring seven feet eight inehos in circumference, three teet above the ground. It be came necessary to remove one in Al meda, not long ago, to make room for improvements The tree, only ten years old, measured twenty-six inches iu diameter at the collar, with a long, tapering trunk, tit- for a saw-inill, at least tweuty Ieet in length. Some ol the timber was shown to a carpenter, who after a deliberate examinatou, pronounced it hickory, baying all the toughness and, as the carpenters ex- . -. i i .. , l- .U. !.-. pressed it, -ciieesy cut oi tu ucbi, . i ni !. ash or white oak.

No other timbei known grows with this rapidity, nourishing in all kinds of solils, and equal in quality to the oak or hickory, H bids tair to be ot i he greatest value to Calitornia, which has uiuuU need ot a timber suitfiblo for wagons and machinery. -5.

A LEAP (Oil LIBERTY. One of the most daring leaps on record was made recently by George G en, a pmonor held for burglary, at Cleveland. The court room was on the fourth floor, counting the base-' mi nt as one st try. On the east side is a small ante room, in whioh prison era are kept during the tine between the opening ot the courJ. and their respective trials. There is no grat ing to the window, and it is fifty Ieet to the solid , pavement below, lie neath it is an iron fence presenting a row of pickets, on which any one falling would be almoBt certain to bo impaled. " ' ? ' ' ' ' ' ' Glen ' waa in the room with two other prisoners, no officer being prce cut. He expestcd to be called soon for trial on three charges burglary, larceny and assault and battery. Glen said to the other prisoners : "I am going to get out of this." II9 had hardly said it betorehe threw off his overuoat, and pushing up the sash, sprang on the window sill. His horrified companions callen out: "Hold on, or you will be killed." "It ..." ! 1 is as well that way as any," saia Glen. Rising to his full height and grasping the bottom ot the sash, ho placed his lelt loot on me outermost end of the stono.'and by a desperate effort swung his right arm and foot out toward a grated window mat. was some five feet to the north. Quick as a cil ho caught an iron of tho j: ii.ii ..a-, but i Ho ao was com pelled to slip his left hind from the sasa and oepenn on iitca.. of the window frame. His right foot struck the edgo of tho other tTV tf window, and then, o? an euort . . . ii l . in usee, he drew hituseil ciear over t ibe oilier window. , Just to the north ot this seconu window a water pipe of large size ran the anclo formed by tbe junction ol the main station with one of the prisons. uratpinK m -- .ween his knees, Glen let go his hold oh the grating, caught the pipe, and went dowu like a streak of lig'itniug. He had hardly touched the none step al tho botton when he mdo a dart into a ri-ar door ot Ze liam'e saloon ; dashed into an alley by an cr.posite door, tod ran into Long street with the spea oi me wmu. The jump and descent ociupieo not over a minute, and Glen was away betore the iher pri'onert could can to an officer just outside tbe door.
