The oldest tree on earth, so far as absolutely known, is the "Bo" tree, in the sacred city of Amarapoora, Burmah. It was planted in 288 B. CL. and is accordingly 2J71 years old. Its great ago ia proved by historic documents, according to Sir James Emerson Tennent, who says: "To it kings have even dedicated their dominions.

Mr: John L.SuIllvanxhampion bruis er of the United States, made his ap pearance yesterday In the baseball field in the capacity of pitcher, and it is re ported that his share of the gate money exceeded to $1,500. This is large pay for part of a day's work by an amatuer ball player, as Mr. Sullivan ia said to be ; indeed, there are in the world very few persons, either amatuers or profession als, in any business, not excepting that of kings or of plumbers, who earn mon ey so rapidly. Ball playing is more hon oarble woik tftaa slagging, too; for although it causes mora black eves and bloody noses than ever were obtained In the prize ring, there Is nothing ugly In its intentions, nor does it call togeth er all "roughs" who can steal the price of admission.- Let Mr Sullivan stick to baseball, at least aa long aa it pays him a vnoHsana aouars an oour.

Among Jthe passengers who arrived pin (he city yesterday afternoon, on the Biehmond A Danville - train, were two smooth faced keen eyed, middle aged men,, whose peculiar; dress .and. odd ap pearance at ti acted .general 1 attention. They wore their hair in long Saratoga bangy locks, that covered their ears and greased their coat collars. Their dress, consisted of long black coats, or gowns that were buttoned down to, the knees, while their legs, or so much of thsm as could be seen, were enveloped In the ample folds of baggy ' trousersi One wore a coon skin cap, while the other had bead gear of a more civilized char acter, his eyes being shaded ? by an or dinary slouch hat. Bach one( carried a been-through-tbe-reTolution ' s looking carpet bag, and, waving the sed active hackman aside, they pushed out of the rewd and strode ; p Trade atreot at a brisk pap Arrivief at a grocery store tbey LpuVchased saougU crackers and cheese to make them a dinner, and then proceeded to" the recant lot near the Carolina Central depot to enjoy ; their lunch. They remained about There until a late hour in' the afUrnoori, and in the' meantime were interviewed by sever! curious parties.. The man ap peared to avoid coming in contact with the people on the streets, yet, when ap proached by anybody, they snowed no disposition to conceal their identity .but conversed about themselves and their mission freely. They were Mormon mIsaionsrl8s.two of a band of seventeen who are now working for recruits in the counties adjoining Mecklenburg on the WesLl They, gave their, names as Revs. Wm. porton and Jabot. Brench well, and stated that they arrived, in North Carolina last 'March from Utah, and since that time had been holding meetings andmakio g converts In various counties of the State. Themselves and fifteen other brethren work separately, but meet at a certain point about once a month to compare notes and map oat plana for future action. So far they have converted to the Mormon faith 37 men and women; about fifteen ot whom have been sent to Utah. Their best suc cess, according to their report, has been in Rutherford and in 'Gaston counties. They, have not yet done any work in Cabarrn&TRo wan or Mecklenburg coun ties, bat do not know how long they msy let these fields remain untouched. Their, work is done quietly.-; and their presence in any neighborhood is seldom ever known except by bat a few who attend their meetings. The apostle first begins by riding about a neighborhood, stopping at the houses, or a drink of water or a meal, until he has become pretty well acquainted with the wo men, the weaker ones of , whom he se lects as his subjects. Informs them of a meeting to be held at a certain time and place, and invites then to attend. After they go to the meetings the work is easy, and they are soon persuaded to embrace the Mormon faith. Before re ceiving them Into the church, they are baptized, and in order that it may be thoroughly done, the converts are strip ped entirely naked by the righteous old. frauds, when they are immersed in the water. The hour for these baptisms is generally aet at 10 or 11 o'clock at night, and any convenient creek, or pond in the neighborhood will answer the pur poses of a pooL It seems almost incred ible that such heathenism can be prac ticed here under our own eyes end in this advanced age of civilization, but these Mormon missionaries admit that this is their mode of baptism, and ex press surprise that any one should find ifault with It. They , held a baptism on Duncan's creek, in Rutherford county, and the Banner reported It at the time. I.- Speaking of incidents of their trip through Rutherford county, they stated that onone occasion : they hailed two white women who were hoeing cotton in a field, got into a conversation with them, and, before they, quit tthey had converted the two women, took them to. a neighboring creek and' baptized them after the usual fashion, when the women returned to- the field and the "Mormon missionaries" j proceeded on their way. These two women Joined a party the "next day and left for Utah. The preachers stated lhat they were on their, way to Ppjk county, and were to have 'left the city last night for Spar tanburg. The ether, members of their band are scattered through Rutherford, Gaston,Polk and several other counties, and are almost daily engaged in work ing for recruits. Their operations are confined solely to the ignorant, unedu cated class of peoplemd we are in some doubt as to whether or not the State suffers any 'loss fronfthe depopulation caused by .the Mormon priests. But it is a shame to onr.cIviUzatlon that such things are permitted in our midst, and missionaries are needed, r The sort ; of missionary, ho werer. . and the one to suit the case best, is In the household of nearly eyery man In the country, or if can be procured at any hardware store.

Bat not so. There is to be a great deal of absolute and un qualified injustice in it. If those who enjoy this great blessing are to pay for it exclusively then I have not a word to say. but if the poor of the city who are covered np with dost front the clouds that arise dally from the phae tons, baggies and drays belonging to the favored few. then I seriously object and give fair warnipg to the mayor or bis board or aay one else who advocates this unfair play that the majority of the voters of the city will not fail to recollect it. and don't von forset it. Wo are determined to Tiot quietly submit any . longer to such things. We will take a pinch of snuff and we are confi dent all the unfairly dealt with will sneeze. No unfair play is our cry. ..
