- PlTSLISHJBA

Pbxkcse Albebt Victob, of Wales,

severely stung by wasps the other

day at Balmoral. His Eoyal Highness sat inadvertently on a nest, and being attired in a kilt he soon discovered that Scotch waspies and bare knees are sworn foes. Lew Waixace dedicated "Ben Hur" "To the wife of my youth." So many sympathetia readers wrote him consolatory letters under the belief that his wife was dead that in the late editions of the book Mr. Wallace has sdded the line: "Who still abides with me, The Bev. Adirondack Murray, whose specialty is fish stories, crossed the line into Canada the other day, and came back crestfallen. Of the lying capacity of the French-Canadian he says : "There is a childish enthusiasm about it that capivates you. He smiles as he lies. He lays his hands on his heart ; he lifts his eyes upward; he embellishes the little lie with saintly allusions; he lies as if he believed his own lie. n

Mbs. Van Zandt, mother of Nina Van Zandt, tht proxy brido of August . Spies, is said to be a woman of tact and high breeding. She is now attempting to obtain contributions to furnish further legal sinews in the fight of the condemned Anarchists tot life. Mrs. Van Zandt has a most uncompromising way of expressing her likes and dislikes. Of August Spies she says: "He is the most Christlike man I ever met" She feels certain that if Spies is banged her daughter will become insane. An East Tawas (Mich.) man recently interviewed a clarivoyant, who told him where to bore for gas and be sure to find it She described his farm exactly, told him to take not more nor less than five people, and to stop boring as soon as gas was struck, as below it was an immense field of salt. She also told him where to find an abundance of iron on his farm. Although he did not tell the woman his name nor his place of residence, he has found samples of his soil that bear 87 per cent iron, and is wondering what five people he would better let into his gas snap. An edition of the Constitution of the TJnited States, of which many copies were sold during the celebration, says the Philadelphia Ledger, was found, when compared with a verbatim copy, to contain 1,179 errors. The majority Of those ware tririaT, 877 beiflg failures to capitalize words in the manner of the original instrument, and 6 being in the use of italic type instead of Boman. There were, however, 260 errors in punctuation, 17 errors in spelling, 17 errors in' numbering paragraphs, one word omitted, and another inserted. Yet the book was published by a generally very careful firm of law publishers. The California Pioneer Society has a section of timber taken from the side of the Powhatan, including a portion of t1" skin, which is four inches thick, and a piece oi the abutting knee, which is nine inches thick. Transversely through the whole a swordfish has dashed his sword, and the portion broken off is still left imbedded in the timber. The sword pierced through fourteen inches of solid cak, and the fish was going in the paiae direction as the vessel, which was under a good head of steam. An idea of the strength which must have been exerted can be obtained from the fact that a rifled sixpounder could not have done more than pierce that thickness of wood. The sword which Gen. George Doles wore from the beginning of the war to the day he was killed, and was on his body at his death, has been placed in the keeping of W. H. Gilbert, of Albany, Ga., a survivor of the 4th Georgia, for the ensuing year, Mrs. Doles having consigned it to the custody of the 4th Georgia at its second reunion at Talbotlon. Each year at the reunion the sword passes, as a mark of honor, from one to another of the survivors of the regiment It is an ordinary cavalry saber, with shark-hide hanlle and silver-plated hand goarcL Tho blade is of the finest tempered fcteol, and was elegantly engraved, but rust has somewhat impaired it. A brass scabbard Bheathes the slender blade. The Mayor of Horton, Ky., winds up Ids inaugural message to the corporation of that new city as follows: Gentlemen, the index finger of the hand of time points far down into the evening of the nineteenth century. Then prove yourselves men. Shake the moss off your backs. Leave old iogyism te occupy the dry-goods box and corner grocery. Gird yourselves anew and go forth determined to do your whole duty by your charge. You will meet with opposition, as all enterprising people do. Overcome it as enterprising people always do. Already the discordant braying of the kicker may be heard upon the streets, but gentlemen, heed him not He hasn't weight enough to make his heels effective. He is a necessary evil and useful in his way. His presence is evi

dence of other people's prosperity, arid he xaarkfl the march of progress as mileb tones the distance on the highway. Gen. Edward Hopkins of Florida, who died in Jacksonville recently, fought a remarkable duel with Gen. Charles Floyd, his father's brother-in-law, in 1840. The most desperate and deadly preparations were made. Each one was equipped with a double-barreled shot-gun, heavily loaded with buckshot, a brace of pistols, and a boxne-knife. With a view to accomplishing the death of cne or the other, if guns failed pistols were to be used, and if these failed too thy were to resort to their knives. At the appointed time both opened fire with mt the usual preliminaries, and Hopkins fell, pierced with a dozen or mo re shot His antagonist was also seriously wounded, and both were laid uj for months afterwards. About the middle of November, earnest work will bgin between the United States and Great Britain, to settle the fishery muddle. American fishermen who go down to the territorial waters of the Dominion of Canada, and Newfoundland, for codfish, mackerel, and herring, and other scaly luxuries, have had, and are having a pretty hard time of it; and the British authorities on land aid eea have acted more like pirates than civilized men; and it is well understood that a settlement of the vexed questions involved can not be saf ly postponed. The British Government has appointed Mr. Ch imberlain, and Kt. Bayard has appointed William L. Putnam, of Maine, antl Janes B. Angell, of Michigan, to sit on tho commission. Mr. Putnam is a lawyer, and Mr. Angell is the President of the University of Michigan. It would be difficult to find any sort of personal property that was not, under the pressure of unforeseen circumstances, at some time or other pledged for the payment of a debt But that a woman should plecge her teeth is something entirely n w. It happened the other day at a suburban pleasure resort of the city of Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany. A young couple had enjoyed a good supper and were about leaving, when the male half was shocked to find that bis purse was gone. He walked up to the hostler, told him of his dilemma, and bogged of him to let him go, promising that the money should be sent the next day. The landlord said he would detain the couple bodily until the bill was paid. Tiien the female half of the couple advanoed and begged of the landlord to grant her a private hearing, wh .oh. ha did. There, in the back room, th lady pulled out of her mouth a splendid set of teeth in gold and offered it a;, a pledge for the payment of the bilL That act of heroism struck the sordid soul of the publican to the quick, and he allowed the couple to depart after the lady had replaced the teeth into, her mouth. He received the money next day, . .i i. i The people are aware that on Bedloe's Island, in the harbor of New York, stands the statue o: Liberty, with a flaming torch in its uplifted hand; the poetical purpose being to enlighten the world. By the human eye the light can be seen at a distance of thirty-six miles, cmd by the bird's eye a much greater distance ; a id as the squall shows so much the worse for the birds, particularly those which are seeking the sunny sctath h,nd to spend the winter. The New York Herald savs that during one nif ht recently 1,365 birds were burned to death by Liberty's torch, and thatamoi g the dead birds found in the morning at the base of tho statue there were specimens of more than one hundred distinct species. The largest bird was a Canadian woodpecker. It measure! thirteen inches from wing to wing, and its girth was correspondingly great The smallest bird was a one-k ch long, lovelyplumaged humming ird. An examination proved that the heat of the light had blinded the unfc rtunate creatures, and that in not a few cases their brains were actually roasted. Strictly speaking, hardly any of t ern were dashed to death, but were f daily burned and blinded. It is not often that such a bird calamity is re corded, and if it goes on during the 3 aigratery seasons the torch of Liberty will depopulate the forests of the I irds of beautiful plumage and captive ing song.

Coca Ci itiire. Coca, a shrub gro wing wild on the mountains of Peru ai d Bolivia, is coming into extensive ?ultivation on account of the rapidly increasing demand for cocaine, the pri) icipal alkaloid obtained from its leaven. The plant resembles the tea-pl&l.t, is cultivated in rows like Indian con , and in two years attains its full height of five or s feet, bearing leaves about two inches long, with white b ossoms and red berries. The leaves ire gathered several times a year, and the bushes produce for manyyea:s. The peculiar virtues of 'coca as nerve stimulant have loag been known, not only to medical men, but to the Peruvian Indians and miners, who chew the leaves mixed with quick-lime, much as tobacco is chewed, and who are thus enabled to resist fatigue to a remarkable degree. It ws not until 1860, however, that the active principle was isolated, while the great value of cocaine as a local anaesthetic was accidentally discovered only some three years ago, Arkansaw Traveler, God's mercy would le a valuable commodity to many, if it could be sold in small quantities at high prices.

TURMKfc THE COURSE OF A RIVER. The Dream of Old Miners About to Be Kcaliicd A Tunnel Three Miles Long, San Francisco Bulletin. There is approaching completion or e of the most important and interesting mining enterprises yet undertaken in California, and the result of the gigantic experiment is awaited with an interest among mining men so intense that it almost seems as if they expected a share of the output. About sixteen miles above Orville the Feather River makes what is known as the Big Bend, where it courses rapidly through a narrow, rocky gorge about fourteen miles in length, describing a horse-shoe curve around a mountain of rock so hard that the torrents of centuries have made no impression on its granite sides. As is well known, in tho days of placer mining the sands of the Feather River afforded some of the richest diggings in the State. The Argonaut grew suddenly wealthy along its banks. From its source to the smooth sliding waters of the floor of the Sacramento ValUy it richly rewarded the spade and cradle. Above Big Bend and below it the river was easily worked. Just after the river leaves the gorge is the site where $680,000 in dust was taken out in forty-two working days from 3,300 lineal feet of river-bed. But in the canon proper the character of the banks and the rapidity of the current permitted neither wing-dam

ming nor lluming, and consequently it3

auriferous sands have been untouched to this day. How much gold is there can be only a matter of conjecture; but if tho amount taken from the river above and below can be taken as any indication, a fortune awaits the man who can lay its sands bare so as to work them. Through this gorge the river is not more than 100 feet wide, and tho sand deposit does not average more than six feet in depth. The early miners dreamed of a tunnel that would turn the water out of its natural course, and in the sixties and seventies some were found to give the subject attention enough to propose sevoral possible schemes and put the results on paper. But no California capitalists were found venturesome enough to undertake an enterprise of such magnitude and uncertainty. Finallv, in 1882, Dr. L V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., was induced to interest himself in the matter. In company with Frank McLaughlin and Col. J. C. Logan, he orgauized the Big Bend Tunnel and Mining Company of Buffalo, N. YM and the two gentlemen Inst mentioned were sent to Europe to interest foreign capital in tho scheme, but without avail. Thrown upon his own resourcos, Pierce determined to take the matter in hand himself. 01: the 200,000 shares into which the capital stock of the coi-poration was divided, he subscribed 163,017, and induced his friends to take the remainder. N, A. Harris, since superintendent, of the work upon the tunnel, surveyed tho proposed excavation and decided that a tunnel, 16,000 feet, or three miles iu length, 9 by 16, would be sufficient to turn aside the stream of the Feather so as to leave the sands in the bend high and dry for seven mouths in the year. The tunnel would have a slope of thirty feet to the mile, more than sufficient for a tremendous pressure of water. Iu January, 1884, work was commenced and pressed forward with all possible speed. Four Burleigh drills were kept at work continuously night and day by means of a skillful contrivance known as a drill carriage, which did away with all delay when the blasts were fired. The air was kept fresh by means of au exhaust which withdrew the smoke ami gas from the face of the working section, through an eleven-inch pipe. Fresh air was forced in at the moutb. Very little masonry work was required, as the rock was tenacious enough to

support its own weight. In April, 1880, !

the tunnel was completed, according to the original plans, and the water al-

lowed to run through; but to the chagrin of all, the tunnel was found to bo too small to. carry off the huge volume of water that flows down the Feather River. The immense iron gates that had been prepared for the entrance to the tunnel wore closed and the company went courageously to work to enlarge, widen, and deepen it This work has just been completed, and in a few days the problem of the golden lands of the Big Bend will be settled. Tho company will mine the river in sections with gangs of fifty to one hundred men to a camp. As nothing is to be deposited in the river, the work does not come under the caption of hydraulic mining, and no legal complications are to be feared. If the undertaking is successful, it will no doubt lead to many others of a similar nature in this State and Nevada, as many parties have been postponing operations to await the outcome of the Big Bend experiment There is one fact with relation to Big Be:ad Tunnel which makes it of more interest than usually attaches to such enterprises. A tunnel of this character, as soon as it has served its purpose, is generally of no further value to any one. In the present case, tho Feather liiver will be made to flow beneath the mountain range until the last grain of gold in the fourteen miles of river-bed shall have been secured. But when the river shall have been turned back into its old channel, there will begin, in all probability, a new and more important era for the tunnel its use by au overland railroad line.

John Adams to His Wife. John Adams, in ono of hie. letters to his wife, made these remarks concerning woman's larger destiny and duties: "Your mother had a clear and penetrating understanding and a profound judgment, as well as an honest, a friendly, and a charitable heart. There is one thing, however, which, you will forgive me if I hint it to you. Let me ask you rather if you are not of my opinion? Were not her talents f,nd virtues too much confined to private, social, and domestic life? My opinion of the duties of religion and morality comprehends a very extensive connection with society at large and the great interests of the public. Does not natural morality and, much more, Christian benevolence, make it ou? indispensable duty to endeavor to nerve our fellow-creatures to the utmost of our power, in promoting and supporting those great political systems and

general regulations apon which the happiness of multitudes depends? The benevolence, charity, capacity, and industry, which, exerted in private life, would make a family, a parish, or a town happy, employed upon a larger scale and in support of the great principles of virtue and freedom oi political regulations, might secure whole nations and generations from misery, want, and contempt" Caught by Apaches. "What was the closest place you were oveir in, in your frontier experience?" wofc the conundrum fired at (Japt. Jack Crawford, "The Poet Scout" The scout ran his fingers through his long hair, reflected a few moments and replied : "Well, Til tell you, but yon mustn't

give it away in print. It occurred in J

188b when Gerommo was on the warpath with his murderous Apaches. I was out deer hunting near a range of mountains west of my home, find about noon unsaddled my horse on e. mesa, or piece of high table land, find after picketing tho animal out in the grass sat down to eat some cold lunch from my saddle pocket After finishing the lunch, I concl xded to let ttfe horse graze for a while, and leisurely strolled out on a long arm of the mesa the sides of which were very precipitous a sort of perpendicular wall extending for fully 500 feet to the plain below. "I stood there gazing from the giddy height for several minutes, and, then looked up. Imagine the unea3y feeling which crept along my spine when I saw a row of at least thirty savages between me and mv horse. There I was utterlv unable to defend myself, my rifle and pistols back with my saddle, a great precipice on three sides of me and that band of Indians in front To jump over the cliff would be certain death; to rush upon the Indians unarmed and single-handed equally as certain in result; and if I remained where I stood it would be only a matter of a few moments before they would advance and kill me. "I never was worse scared in my life. My blood seemed to freeze in my veins, and my long hair stood up like a ship's masts. To me it seemed there war absolutely no escape from sure and terrible death. "I observed that the Indians wore holding a discussion among themselves, and soon saw them drawing lots. I at once divined their purpose. They had discovered that I was entirely unarmed, and were drawing lots to see which one should advance and dispatch me with a knife. The lot fell on a stalwart warrior with a hideously painted face, and with a long knife in his hand he advanced toward me. "If ever man made good time in reeling off a prayer, I did just then. I think I must have beat the record by several points. I thought I knew that I must die, but just when I was about to give up in despair a cold calmness came over me, and I resolved that the liend should not murder me without a struggle. When he got near me I sprang upon him with the ferocity of a tiger, aud we were soon engaged in a desperate hand-to-hand struggle. The savage band stood quietly enjoying the snort, for they knew I had no weapon. 'During the struggle I observed to my horror that we were nearing the edgo of the cliff, and almost before I cou'd realize it the savaga graspel me by my long hair, bent me backward and over we went down, down to certain death cn the rocks below!" "And you fell on top of the Indian aud escaped?" "IVo; the Indian fell on top of me. with fingers still locked in my hair, and over and over we rolled, clear across the room." "The room!" "Yes; the bed-room. You see, it was an ugly dream, and in my desperation I had grabbed my wife and she retaliated by entwining her lingers iu my hair. In our desperate struggle we rolled out of bed, and after I awoke my wife held on with her death-like grip until I explained. Then we both laughed until the echoes stirred up the whole iiio Grande valley, forgave each other and went back to bed. That was the most desperate fight in which I ever took a hand, but I have been in far more dangerous ones." The Fruit Gardens of the Sahara. It is well-known that the Sahara is not everywhere synonymous with desert, and that region, despite the dryness of its climate and the general aridity of its surface, possesses many a wellcultivated and thickly inhabited basis, whero the combination of tho two elements of sun and water has produced marvels in the way of vegotation. The lower Sahara is an immense basin of artesion waters, and at times there is a suporbundance ; but the number of cultivated tracts is increasing very rapidly, there being no fewer than forty-three oasis in the Oued-Hir, which, after a period of thirty years, has 13,000 inhabitants, 520 palm trees in full bearing that is, which have been planted more than seven years 120,000 trees between 1 and 7 vears old, and 100,000 fruit trees, while the value of tho dates grown each year averages 100,000. The oases- of Laghouat and Oued-Miziand those of Yeryville and Ain-Sana have 100,000 palm trees, and those of Figuig 140,000, while Mzab, with its M0. 000 inhabitants, nearly all siepherds or merchants, cultivates 200,01H Zab, together with the Sahara si ope of the Auees, has 50 onsa, which grow 900,000 palm trees and 500,000 fruit trees, Kout, with a population of 15,000, has 150,0 JO palm trees of the choicest kind and over 50,000 fruit trees. Lasily, tho various oases of Onargia have over 400,000 palm trees and lOD.OJ fruit trees. All these results, to say nothing of the trade in wool, the cultivation of tobacco, vegetables, corn, the vine, and other things grown beneath tho shelter of the palm trees, and of the raising of ostriches, which, it is considered, might be made as profitable as it is at the .Cape, have been arrived at partly by the natives and partly by the French, though the latter have not begun to colonize Sahara until within the last ten years. They begira by buying oases and gardens in the Zab antl the Oued-llir, and after that they Hot to work to form fresh oases in the region of Bhthra, aud especially ia the Oued-liir. fall Mall Gazette.

REMINISCENCES OF PUBLIC MEIU

BT BEN : PKRLEV POOUK. Prince .Albert, when he attended a ball given at the Masonic Temple here in his honor by Sir Edward Thornton, on the night of January 27, 1870, was a slender young man, attired in a fatigue! uniform. This consisted of a dark blue, or nearly black, tight-fitting sack coat, closely . fitting the form, doublebreasted, and buttoned to the throat, trimmed with heavy black braid and frogs, pantaloons tightly cut, of the. Mime color, with broad braid stripe, on the sides, and patent-leather boots. Across his breast he wore a brilliant, htar studded with jewels. A miniature cartridge box was slung across his shoulder, and in his hand he carried a little cap, closely resembling that worn by the Union soldiery during the Rebellion. He also worn a plain steel sheathed sword. Ho was very unostentatious in his appearance, and presented a marked contrast to the brilliant uniforms and elaborate display of gold lace and embroidery by which he wa surrounded, as worn by the foreign ministers and secretaries of legations. He opened the ball with Mrs. Grant, who wore a crimson velvet dress, with a long train, low neck and short sleeves, trimmed with white isatin and point lace. He also danced with Mrs. Thornton, the wife of the British Minister, who wore a low-necked dress of white Hilk, with long train, and au overskirt of light blue silk, trimmed with white point lace. He waltzed with Mrs. Le Strange, of the British Legation, a charming branette, who was dressed in white muslin trimmed with white satin. It was tiaid the next day that some of the young army officers took him after the ball to see the sights of "Washington by gaslight" Charles Sumner fir3t visited Washington early in 1834, and was in attendance at the Federal metropolis for a month. The names of some of those who then figured in debates at the Capitol have come down to us as having filled important places in our publio history. The impassioned, fascinating eloquence of Clay, the close reasoning of Calhoun, the ponderous arguments of Webster, the mellifluous sentences of Preston, and the jwofound mental powers of Silas Wright made a strong impression upon the young law student. But he was not favorably impressed by what he saw of political life. Writing to his father just prior to bus departure for Boston, he said : "Caljioun has given notice to-day that he will speak to-morrow on Mr. Wel ster'a bank bilL I shall probably hear him, and he will be tho last man I shall ever hear speak in Washington. I probably shall never come here again. I have little or no desire to come again in any capacity. Nothing that I have seen of politics has made me look upon them with any feeling other than loathing. The more I see of them the more I love law, which, I feel, will give me an honorable livelihood. " One of the first duels fought at Washington was the result of an angry discussion in the House of Representatives between Mr. Gardiner, a dashing young Federalist of the Hamilton school, and Mt. Campbell, a Democrat. A challenge ensued, and the only magistrate at tho National Capital at that time was Samuel Harrison Smith, then the young editor of the National Intelligencer. He was called on to arrest the belligerents, and he promptly repaired to the boardinghouse, kept by three kind-hearted old maids, the Misses Finegan, where Gardiner messed. The mess received Mr. Smith very politely, and some of the members told him that they would, with great pleasure, give bail for the peaceful couduot of Gardiner within the limits of the district. Mr. Smith, however, insisted that he mu&t bind Gardiner over to keep the peace within tho United States. They said they would convince him that his jurisdiction did not extend beyond the District of Columbia; aud of all earthly things the learned and long argument Was most to Mr. Smith's taste. He went for his authorities, and, bringing in his books, prepared for a set-to in good earnest. Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, undertook to reason Mr. Smith out of his premises, and spoke at great length. Meanwhile Mr. Gardiner and

his second slipped out, took a carriage, went to the designated ground, fought the duel, in which Mr, Gardiner was wounded, and returned to the house, where they found Messrs. Bayard and Smith still busily engaged in the case. Air. Smith acknowledged that he had been foiled, and paid for a bowl of punch. Kiehard Hawes, a lawyer of very handsome talents, made his appearance in the House of Representatives as a Itepresentative from Kentucky at the opening of the extra session of 1837, aud remained a silent member until the month of June, 1838. As the session was rapidly drawing to a close, Mr. Hawes, who possessed ali the modesty that belongs to genius, realized much embarrassment with reference to a speech which he wished to daliver for the purpose of having something to send under his frank to his constituents. Day after day, and week after week, he delayed speaking, out of sheer diffidence. At lust, however, he made up his mind to speak, and by courtesy of members a day was set apart for him. By agreemeut Mr. IL S. Legare, of South Carolina, who was one ox the most eloquent men of the times, was assigned tho floor on the day designated, and Mr. Hawes was to follow him. Mr. Hawes1 seat was close to Mr. Legare's, and while that gentleman was speaking the entire delegation from Kentucky closed around him. When Mr. Legare sat down Mr. Hawes took the floor. At that moment the crowd began to disperse, and the Kentucky delegation moved off, leaving vacant seats for Mr. Hawes to address. He spoke but a moment or two before he began to falter and to reel, and he then fell senseless on his desk. He was instantly removed, medical aid was called, and by timely interposition he was restored. He never attempted to speak again, and declined a re-election ali the close of his term.
