Morosini, the millionaire partner in Jay Gould’s brokerage firm. She is a decided blonde, very beautiful nnd accomplished, and twenty-five years old. Ttie elopement occurred from the Morosini country seat at Yonkers-ou-the-Hudson, and was made known when the aged broker rushed into police headquarters weeping bitterly, and between his sobs told the story. Shilling is a blonde, aged twenty-five years, and had been In the'employ of Morosini several years until the first of this ’month when he was discharged. He is a German, and is considered handsome. Mr. Morosini’s suspicions were first aroused two weeks ago, when lie tound Miss Victoria resting calmly in the arms of the coachman. The old broker became terribly enraged, and a scene immediately followed, Miss Victoria being sent to her room and Shilling ordered off the premises. Early yesterday morning the lovers fled, and are supposed to have arrived here at four o’clock in the afternoon. The police can do nothing, as ttie girl is of legal age and her own mistress.

The house of William Lyman was blown down over the heads of the occupants, and one child will probably die of its injuries. Wires are down and roads almost impassable, making communication very difficult A Land of Wonders. California is the most surprising State In the Union. Under Spanish rule it was a land of ranches ana herds. Immediately upon its annexation to the United States its marvelous gold productions set every one wondering. When the placers were worked out, quartz mining produced almost equally astonishing results. Then came the great wheat production; Such crops of gold and grain were never heard of before. California next astonished the world by its vineyards. It produced twice as many grapes to the aeie as any other locality on earth; now there is a new marvel: fruits of all kinds are produced in such abundance that when the season of gathering them arrives, the labor of the Pacific coast is found to be wholly inadequate. On comparatively few acres, the California fruit grower can produce nuts, apricots, grapes and small fruits of all kinds in such magnificent profusion that the labor available utterly fails to gather the rich harvest. The "despised Mongolian is once more in eager demand, and the problem of the labor supply threatens to be a momentous one on tbe Pacific coast. The population is sparse, land is cheapand abundant, and the new emigrant prefers to till his own acres rather than work for other fruit growers. y California! While the problem other parts of the earth’s surface is what to do with the surplus labor, it is the lot of the State to bo puzzled how to get it- labor, and distribute its superfluous wealth.—Demoreat's Monthly . - -Sugar is lower than ever known before. The result is general depression among sugar-growers, and threatened bankruptcy in the West Indies. —Combination salads are the latest. They are made of a ‘‘little of everything,” and nobody wants to be helped • seoond time.—# Y. Pott .

WINDS AND FLOODS. A Terrlflo {Cyclone I .ays Waste Several Towns In Minnesota anil WisconsinMany Residences and Farm Houses Wrecked—A Few Lives Lost and Several Persons Injured—Floods in the Chippewa River. Hudson, Wis., Sept. 11.— Details are now coming in of a destructive cyclone which on Tuesday eveniug swept over the northern part of St Croix County and through tho center of Polk, doing widespread devastation. The cyclone entered Wisconsin from the Minnesota side, nearly opposite Marine, carried away portions of the Wisconsin Central’s new iron bridge now building across Lake St Croix, and plowed a furrow two or three miles wide in a northerly The most serious damage was done in the towns of Star Prairie, Stanton and Somerset, where grain stacks in large numbers were blown away. Barns ;and houses were unroofed, and other serious destruction done. In this county Star Prairie appears to have fared the - worst, as nearly every building: ’in tiie Village was more or less shaken, and fillip a dozen in the town completely destroyed! Among the more serious losses are the Bouse and barn of Mr. Arnquist, valued at $2,500; the large barn of R, K. Fay, in which a boy had botli legs broken; Ira Kidder’s barn, E. Clarke’s house nnd barn, and Filpah’s store, front blown in. About thirty-five miles farther north the little village of Clear Lake, on the North Wisconsin Road, was almost wiped from the map by tho furious gale. Hardly an unscathed house reinaius in the town, and three lives were lost. Those killed were Mrs. Peleg Burdick, wife of the postmaster, and two young men in W It Ingall’s store, by the name of William Cavanaugh and A. H. Sanderson. Walter Briggs was also badly Injured, and two Scandinavian children so seriously that they Mn not survive. Bill Nye, the noted humorist, also had liis left leg broken below the knee. He was at Clear Lake visiting his brother, DistrictAttorney Nye. They were out in the country for a drive in the midst of a dense forest, and seeing the storm coming on, were driving as rapidly as possible to escape its fury, when both gentlemen were thrown out with the result above given. The road was so thickly strewn with fallen trees that it was impossible to reach him with a team, and lie was obliged to lie on the wet ground in the drenching rain for two hours, until men could be summoned from Clear Lake to carry him in. He was brought to Hudson and is now doing well. Jewett’s mills, a lew miles out, suffered seriously, and three-fourths of their most valuable pine were blown down, beside a vast amount of other timber. The entire loss to Clear Lake can not be less thin $200,000. Ingali’s loss is placed at SIO,OOO. The death of Mrs. Burdick is especially sad. Site was almost helpless, and tier husband was assisting her from the shivering building when site was stricken dead at his side. Tiie people had no knowledge of young Saunders’ death until his body was found while they were searching in the ruins for Cavanaugh’s remains. A report conies that Clayton was badly sh iken up by the same gale, and sustained heavy losses. Humbird & Co.’s large mills and their lumber yard were seriously wrecked. The loss of grain and other projierty in this (St Croix) County can not be short of $50,000, but this is trifling compared with the devastation throughout Polk County. Tiie storm lasted fifteen minutes. Stillwater, Minn., Sept 11.—About six o'clock Tuesday evening a disastrous cyclone passed over this section. The worst end of the storm struck Marine Mills, a village twelve miles north, where almost every house is more or less injured. George Rutherford was working at a threshing machine when the storm came up. He took refuge in a bam, which was blown down on him and lie was killed. This is tiie only fatality thus far reported. On another farm in the same neighborhood a Minneapolis man had his leg torn off by a falling house, and a few other people were slightly injured. At one place, in all orchard of 1,600 trees, only 000 are left standing. Probably forty or fifty barns in this county were completely wrecked. Some curious freaks of the storm are reported. Some buildings were twisted completely around on tlieir foundations. Others were only unroofed and not otherwise injured. At another place flying boards from a lumber yard struck a dwelling and crashed entirely through the side, in this city Walker, Judd Yeazie, a saw-mill firm, lose from $15,000 to $20,000. The St. Croix Hotel was unroofed and had a gable blown away. Peter Cullean’s house, with his family in it, was blown into flio street, the inmates miraculously escaping injury. Hiram Burkey’s house, barn, granary and warehouse, with SI,OOO worth of machinery, six hundred bushels of grain and thirty tons of hay. were destroyed. Tiie entire loss at Marine is $75,000, in this city about $25,000. Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 11.—Reports from the neighborhood tell of heavy blows in all directions. Washouts and overflowing streams are causing a good deal of trouble to railroads. The St Paul & Omaha Road is blocked up, and trains are obliged to go by tiie Milwaukee track. No fatal accidents are reported. Chippewa Falls, Wis., Sept. 11. — Tiie floods in the rivers and streams of this section continue unabated. Dune in Creek, which flows through a portion of this city, rose fourteen feet yesterday. Every bridge in ttie city was carried away. The dam of tiie Glen flouring mills was washed out, and caused the planing-niiU dam of B. Kekis & Cos. to give way. Tiie livery stable of Stiles, Lego & Bailey was badly wrecked. Five horses were drowned, amt *all the buggies and carriages were swept away. Several machine shops and houses- were carried down the stream .totally wrecked. The latest advices from Bloomer, twelve miles from here, on Duncan Creek, state that the water is thirty-three inches higher than in the great flood of 1860, but there lias been a decline of six inches since six o’clock. Tiie dam of Roaclie & Riggs’s mill was swept away, and 700,000 feet of logs. All tiie business houses on Main street are partly submerged. The loss at Bloomer is $40,000, In this city the losses on Duncan Creek are estimated at $150,000. While attempting to evss tiie creek here yesterday Robert Wallace, a single man, was drowned. The Chippewa River is now twenty- three feet above low water-mark, and is still rising at the rate of six inches per hour. A Terrific and Fatal Explosion. Pekin, 111., Sept 11.—Early yesterday morning one of the four patent cookers in tiie Enterprise Distillery here exploded with a terrific crash, wrecking tiie building and Duryiug under the debris four men. There were four cookers in the distillery, which is a large wooden andbricK structure. The cookers, three of which were charged, were usert five years ago as rendering tanks in a pork-packing establishment Subsequently they were used for filtering purposes by the Pekin Glucose Works, after which they found tlieir way into the distillev- A few moments after the explosion Andrew Duflin, who had charge of tiie cooker, was found fifty feet from the ruin, his body being terribly mangled. Deatli must have been instantaneous. His brotlier. Alexander, the yeast-maker in the place, is still under tiie ruins. While the crowd was standing around the deed body of Andrew Duflin cries wer heard from the river side of tiie wifek. A number of men, at tbe risk of theb lives, dug into tbe debris and rescued Chrri Halter, the engineer. He was terribly scalded and can not live. Thomas Hi'-fOnymous, storekeeper, and brother of tiie banker of that name, was also taken out. He was badly, but it is thought not fatally, hurt Edward Welch, miller, is stili in the wreck, together with a stranger, naiJVj unknown. Botli are, beyond doubt, dead. The general opinion is that the capac'dy of the cookers was overtaxed. Spellman. Dohenv & Killeen sustain a pecuniary loss ‘if about $20,000. Double Tragedy in lona. Ibis Moines, la.. Sept 11.—A double traiVUy was enacted Tuesday night at Reap,. a small town situated eighteen miles southeast of Atlantic, and not on any railroad. Jacob Steen, the postmaster of Reno, shot ills wife, killing her almost ininstantly, and then shot himself, inflicting a wpvnd that proved fatal m a short time. Mr. tteen was quite a prominent man in the Community and was at one time a candidate for Representative from Casa Courty. It is uot known that lie had any family troubles, and insanity is probably Mw oapso of tho deed.

THE WISCONSIN FLOODS. Many Bridges Carried Away by the Bad* den Rush of Water* In the Chippewa River—Daras Broken, Millions of Feet of Lumber Swept Away, Housed Wrecked and Several Lives Lost—The Water Rap* Idly Subsiding'* Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 12.—At two o’clock yesterday morning the water at Chippewa Falls reached its highest point—thirty feet. Some time Wednesday evening the Little Falls and the Paint Creek dams gave way, letting loose two or three hundred million feet of logs. They reached Chippewa Falls at the time above mentioned, and carried away both the Wisconsin Central bridges and the wagon bridge. The Omaha bridge still remains', and no jams have yet formed on the piers. It will pull through. The greater portion of tiie business houses were partly submerged, causing gre.it damage to goods. Piles of lumber from tiie yards of tiie Chippewa Log and Lumber Comptuiy and fifteen houses and sheds are floating around in tiie eastern part of the city. About twenty houses iu French town, on the opposite side of the river, have gone down with tiie flood, and a number of lives are reported lost. The banks on the south side of the dam gave way some time during the night, which in all probability saved tiie city. The water lias washed out many acres of ground already, and there is no telling wheu it will stop, Sections of buildings from up the river passed here early yesterday morning. All trains, mails and business are suspenued. Tho loss of dams, logs, lumber and privato property can not be placed at less than $2,000,000. A crew of men have been placed on the Omaha bridge to keep the logs from forming jams against the piers. As the water lowers the washout at the south -end of the dam does not cut so rapidly. It is thought that no further damage will be done. At Hudson the two Lee children, who were Injured by tiie cyclone Wednesday night, died yesterday morning. Tlieir deaths make five iu all. The weatiier has been very favorable to those who are houseless, and they are busily engaged In getting their homes in shape again. Reports of great floods in the streams in the southern part of SL Croix County were received at Hudson yesterday. The Kinnickinnic is forty inches higher than ever before, and the water rushes .in a wild torrent, carrying everything before it The bridge on the upper Kinnickinnic was carried out, together with Clapp’s mill-dam, besides nine smaller bridges ou the main stream, and the bridges on the south forks, including the new iron structure and dam at Plumb Burnett’s race, are washed away. Piles of fences are also swept away Tiie damage to hay-stacks and grain is very considerable. The storm begau about seven o’clock and lasted until eleven o’clock. It was far removed from the cyclone district, however, and all occasioned by an overflow of the Kinnickinnic, though an outcome of the same storm. Wheat-stacks owned by Elder Lakes iu the town of Roberts, this county, were burned by lightning. Ho sustained a similar loss about six weeks ago. Tiie Black River at La Crosse is seventeen feet above low water-nnrk, and is still rising. Not much danger is appreln..Jed there, though further up the valley general devastation is reported. . The floods in the Wisconsin River Valley about Wauson continue uuabated Tiie water is tiie highest ever known. Tiie damage thus far is confined to lumber, logs and saw-mills. The tracks of tiie Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company are badly flooded and washed out. So long as the fexmis hold but little danger is apprehended. The Black River at Medford has risen to a threatening condition, and much damage is being done. Tiie dams of the Westboro, the Chelsea and the Little Black mills have been swept away, witli losses aggregating several thousands of dollars. The rivers and streams in tho vicinity of Neilsville are very much swollen by tiie recent rains. The Black River at Neilsville is sixteen feet above low-water mark, and is still rising. It is feared that the dams will break and heavy damage result Governmental Report On the Crops. Washington, SepL 12.—The Department of Agriculture reports on the winter wheat, as follows: The rate of yield is not far from an average of thirteen bushels per acre. The results of the harvest of spring wheat are not yet complete, and the product cau not be precisely indicated. It is probable,, from tiie reported condition of the crop already harvested and threshed, that the aggregate will vary little from 500,000,000 bushels. Reports of much higher figures are sensational and and utterly unworthy of credence. The general average condition when harvested is 98, against 83 last year. The condition is almost identical with that reported in September, 1879 (tiie census -crop), which yielded thirteen bushels per acre. The wheat States in highest condition are California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania. Kentucky, Tennessee and Oregon. These, with some of minor production, show figures higher than the general average, lowa, Nebraska and Kansas standing at 98, Ohio and Michigan at 96, Indiana at 94, and Illinois at 80. The Eastern and Southern Suites range from 81 m Mississippi to 103 in Maiue. Tiie coru crop is in better condition than in any September since 1886. Tiie general average is 94. It was 84 last September. 83 in 1882, and 60 in 1881. It promises to produce an average yield of 26 bushels for the entire breadth, or not less than 1,800,000,000 bushels. It will make the largest aggregate quantity ever reported in the history of the crop. Tiie oats crop averages a yield per acre about the same as corn, and makes an aggregate exceeding 500,000,000 bushels, its condition, when harvested, was ninety-five, which is lower than for the two previous years, but higher than for prior years since 1378. __ tAn Aeronaut’s Narrow Escape. Buffalo, N. Y., SepL 12.— At Prospect Park, Niagara Falls, yesterday, Henry Warner made a balloon ascension at four o’clock. Tbe balloon did not rise to any altitude, and after sailing southward two miles, settled into the river, though tiie aeronaut threw oilt all the ballast and even discarded his siioes to lighten the c'ar. Finding the aerostat would not rise ho abandoned it and struck out for shore, but in tiie swift current would have been carried into the rapids and over the falls but for his timely rescue by a party of fishermen from this city. Believed of its load the balloon sailed away. A more avaricious being does not live than Sitting Bull. To gratify his love lor money he has, with the consent of the Indian Department, placed himself in tiie hands of a syndicate to be exhibited in the chief cities and toayns in the United States and Europe.

A WIFE’S FEALTY. Horoilnl’l Daughter Return, to the Parent* al Roof Tree to Vl.it Her Mother—Her Pather Refuses to Recognise Her Husband—She Therefore Leaves Again with the Man of Her Choice. New York, Sept l ls.—Victoria Morosinl and her coachman husband arrived at Yonkers early yesterday morning, coming np the Hudson. Two detectives were awaiting their arrival. Mrs. Stolpe, wife of the partner of Schelling’s father In the beer business, accompanied the couple, and it was she who induced Victoria to return home, because Mrs. Morosinl was dying, Atlilio Morosini, brother of the bride, was among the small party in waiting at the Yonkers depot, but Victoria scorned to speak to him. Within an hour of her arrival Victoria was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Atlilio charging her with stealing a diamond cross valued at #7O. Victoria was startled. In another moment she was in a towering rage. Justice Pentz arrived at nine o’clock, opened court, and released Victoria on tier own recognizance. Coachman Schelling then procured a boarding place in the immediate vicinity of his millionaire father-in-law’s mansion, paid for )wo week’s board in advance, and announced his intention of settling down and awaiting the course of events. At eleven o’clock Victoria drove to her late home in company with Mrs. Stolpe and a female detective, leaving the coachman to answer questions at the boarding-house. Victoria stayed in the house half an hour and came out with red eyes and downcast expression. The navy-blue dress had been exchanged for another, and under her arms she carried a bundle of clothing. No one accompanied her to the door, and not a member of the family bade her good-bye. The meeting between Victoria and her brotlrers was a stormy one, and the old man is reported to have entirely refused to see her. Back she went to the boarding house and her coachman, where a vast crowd awaited her wjfh mingled hoots snd cheers. All day the house was in a state of siege. About two o’clock the expectant throng gave a shout as the door opened, and the blushing bride and groom stepped out on the sidewalk .and went affectionately together up toward her father’s home. Behind straggled the great crowd of two hundred curious villagers. Schelling walked with his wife to the corner of Morosini’s fence and left her to go on alone to the gate and up the walk. As the door closed upon her he turned down a lane and strolled toward the stables over which he had once presided. Inside the young wife spent most of the time witli her racier, who was very ill. Her father saw iieWt her mother’s request, but the meeting was a sad one for all. The girl flatly refused to give up her husband, and until she did so the old man ordered none of the family to recognize her. She came slowly down the walk, hanging her head and pressing her handkerchief now and then to her eyes. Her hnsbaud joined her at the end of the stone fence, and between long lines of impudent, staring people they took their way slowly to their poor boarding house. “It is true, 1 ran away with my husband,” Victoria said. “I love him, truly nnd fondly. For twenty-six years my home lias been a veritable State’s prison for me, and I will not leave him now and return to it If lam made to go to court I wilt make it sorry for my father.” Her eyes glistened with fire as she spoke. “My wife will remain in this vicinity as long as she pleases,” Schelling said,” “and will go daily to the bedside of her mother. I (U> not know whether 1 shall see my wife's father or not” Mrs. Morosini is very low and her death is momentarily expected. Stampede of Hold Hunters. Fort Keooh, M. TANARUS., Sept 15.—The excitement over the gold discoveries in the Little Rocky Mountains north of here continues to increase until a .stampede equal nearly to the Coeur d’Alene crash of last winter is setting toward the new mine region. Latest reports from Rocky I’oint are to the effect that 100 claims are staked j off and takeu up which pay from surface working SO to Sll per day to the man. Two buffalo hunters now on the grouud, and who were the original discoverers of the new mines, have been working one claim all summer, and show a bag containing gold dust to the value of three thousand dollars, which they say is the result of their Rocky washing during that time. _ As the new mines are in the Blackfeet Indian Reservation there has been made a weak attempt to eject the intruders, but it had little effect upon them. Intense excitement follows, and new stampeders are coming in daily in great numbers. Offers to Ho Over the Falls. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 15.—Oliver Warmold, a fresco-pain ter, offers to go over Niagara Falls in a rubber bail fifteen feet in diameter for the sum of $2,000. Within the ball will be sufficient space for the adjustment of an apparatus which he claims will keep him in an upright position while the ball is in motion. It will consist of threefourths of an inch rubber, covered with a close braiding of tarred rope so as to prevent injury to the rubber, should the sphere strike tiie rocks; but this precaution is scarcely necessary, as Mr. Warmold claims that the ball will receive sufficient momentum to hurl it far from the falls, where he expects to be picked up by boats. After having been filled with a quantity of air to keep the occupant alive for fifteen minutes, the ball will be hermetically sealed. Watmold is about five feet six inches in height, an Englishman, and is thirty-five years old. Arrested for Train-Wrecking. St. Louis, Mo., Sept 15.—John Boberts was arrested at Harvel, 111., on the Wabash Railroad Friday by the chief of the secret service of the Missouri Pacific system on the charge of throwing the switch at that place on August 27, by which a freight train of eleven cars was ditched, killing Engineer Henry Warmke and Brakeman Peake and seriously injuring the fireman. Robert’s motive seems to have been simply to get the job of tending the switch. He was taken to Hillsboro and committed to jail in defaultPof bail. \ ™ Brutal Termination of An Old Hrudge. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept 15.— Early Saturday morning John Higgins, a blacksmith, and Terence Murphy, a laborer, repaired to Red Flats, with one hundred friends, and settled an old grudge with bare knuckles. They fought twenty-seven rounds, and until eacli was in a terrible state. Their faces were pounded into jelly, and at the close of the twenty-seventh round neither could stand up. The spectators declared the fight a draw. Horrible Treatment of a Lady by Rob,'bers. Mansfield, 0., Sept. 15. —Two masked men entered the house of Miss Mary Gilfeller near here Saturday night and demanded her money. She gave them $l5O, claiming that was all she had. The robbers then bound her and applied a burning lamp to her feet, endeavoring to extort more money, but the young woman persisting she had given it all up, the villains left the premises. Astonished at America’s Resources. Toronto, Sept 15.—The members of the British Association for the Advancement of Science who took part in the excursion to the Rocky Mountains arrived safely at Summit on Thursday night. An address of welcome was presented to the visitors at Calgary, in replying to which Sir Richard Temple expressed the astonishment of the party at the splendid resources of the country and wonderful progress of its development A Physician’s Fatal Error. New York, Sept. 15.—Dr. Felix O’Hare was arrested Saturday for causing the death of Michael Lacy by giving him a poisonous prescription, which he made up in his office Wednesday night by the light of a match. The evidence at the inquest went to show that the doctor evidently mistook the bottles from which lie made up the medicine. The Emperor of Austria will be a yaarenger on the first train to pass through the Arlberg tunnel. The formal ceremonies are to take place next Saturday,

The Treatment of Lampa*. At one period in the history of veterinary medicine the term “lampas” had a well-defined meaning, and the disease to which it referred was popular with grooms and farriers of the old school, probably because they had frequent opportunities of exhibiting their skill in detecting it, and applying what they considered to be the appropriate treatment. The operation, which is in favor with the village farrier, involves the use pf the actual cautery. The "lampas iron, a rough instrument made for the purpose, is heated to redness, and applied to the supposed enlargement in such a way that a portion of the structure forming the anterior bars or ridges of the palate is completely removed, and a hollow is left in the place of the previous projection. According to the notion of the operator, the proceeding is more or less severe. Seme are content with a comparatively slight burning of the surface, while others have operated so roughly as to lay bare the bony structure of the palate. Considerable irritation necessarily follows the burning of the gum, and the unfortunate animal, which was only affected with an imaginary malady, now suffers from the real effects of the refpedy which was employed for his relief. It is hardly necessary to remark that no qualified veterinary surgeon would attempt any such treatment as we have described; but we must not take too much credit to ourselves for modern , enlightenment in this particular, becinse in a veterinary work writby Henry Bracken, M. I)., in 1739, we find the following remarks: "The lampas is, by the farriers, defined as a filthy lump or excrescence in the roof of the mouth, so that upon opening the horse’s mouth you may perceive that the roof rises more or less above the teeth. This disorder (as it is called) is common to young horses, the roofs of their mouths not being of so harsh and dry a nature as those of old horses; and, though ’tis said that the flesh will rise so high above the teeth that it will even scare him from his oats, etc., yet I ara still of opinion that nature is not often luxuriant above measure in this particular, as the common farriers, blacksmiths, etc., would make us believe. Nor is there, in my thoughts, so often need of cutting out the lampas. The French cure it by rubbing the luxuriant flesh with a hot, roasted onion, wrapped in a clout; but, for my part, I cannot see what use such applications can be to destroy or waste the lampas in a horse’s mouth. I have had many young horses, yet never any cut for tile lampas, though the roofs of their mouths were as fleshy as other people’s horses, and 1 never could see that it did any real service to cut them out, so that it is plaguing and tormenting the poor creature to no purpose and satisfying the ignorant farrier and more ignorant master or owner.” It appears that nearly 150 years ago the absurdity of treating the so-called "lampas” as an affection to be dealt with by the farrier's surgery was recognized by a medical writer. Trad tion is very conservative in its tendency, and the descendants of the old-fashioned groom and farrier even now adhere to the views which were held by their ancestors. In the remote past, as we have seen, some of these notions were ridiculed by educate men, as they are now; but the ideas and those who entertain them have undergone no change. If “lampas” is to be dealt with in the present day as a disease to be treated, the horse owner will do well to remember that at the worst it does not amount to anything more serious than a little irritation of the gnm.dnring the process of tdfething; and if his groom informs him that a horse does not eat because of the lampas, he may be quflh certain that the loss of appetite is due to something else, and need not hesitate to give orders that, in any case, the “lampas” shall be left alone. —London Field. The Broadway of Bangkok. It is quite a relief to turn from these horrible fantasies—which look more frightful still in the ghostly dimness that surrounds them—to the fresh air and glorious sunshine that attend the crowning treat of our morning’s work.. For now comes the ascent of the pagoda itself to the farthest accessible point. The stair is so deep and slippery that I feel as if scaling the Great Pyramid once more. But the view from the highest platform would well repay a much greater exertion. All along either bank of the wide, smooth stream, which amply deserves the name of ‘‘Mother of Waters” (Menam), there start up from the dark foliage of the tropical forest the peaked roofs of bamboo huts and the white walls of etately houses, and the spear-pointed pinnacles of Buddhist shrines, and the gold-green roofs of Siamese temples. Boats of all sizes, from the tiny canoe paddled by a doll-faced woman with a basket-work hat, to the gilded barge with the giled flag and white elephant of Siam fluttering at her stern, flit like fire-flies over the mighty river, which is the Broadway of Bangkok, as the creeks and canals are her side streets; and beyond, far as the eye can reach, extends a shadowy perspective of the low green rice fields, tangled thickets, stately cocoa-palms, slim, graceful arecas, pillared banyans, shooting down innumerable suckers into the earth from their vast spreading boughs, plumy fan-palms, tall, tapering bamboos and broad-leafed bananas, without order and without end. —David Kerr, in Manhattan. —A rag-picker in New York found an old letter with a Brattleboro fivecent stamp, the rarest of the American stamp catalogues.
