A scheme Is on toot to make two States out of California, the lower half to be called Coronado. The new State -could begin life with a population of 163,000, a property valuation of $100,000,000, and 27,000 square miles o territory -

The great iron deposits of the l3lack Hills have been frequently mentioned, but scarce with an expectation that they would ever become of any value to the -country. Tests of the iron ores made at the school of mines indicate the ores may be worked profitably by the Bessemer process. These tests will be -continued until the actual value of the ores shall have been determined

Dave Autret, of Americns, Ga., says -that he found a live chicken on his place last week that had a foot on each side near the wing. It had no leg, no thigh but a foot When the little fellow would try to walk it would get on one foot, paw the air on top with the other foot, and "peep, peep," in a note that was doleful to hear. It lived two days and a half and died for want of exer-use.

The latest "fad" is the interest attached to the finding of an old buttonshoe, "We are told, with great sincerity, that if a young girl on finding one would count the buttons remaining on it she would be able to tell exactly the number of years which would elapse before her marriage, each button representing one year. It is looked upon as great piece of misfortune (by the -credulous) to find a shoe minus buttons. A ftoky fellow who owns a diamond has been creating amusement for himself and wrath in the breasts of his victims by cutting various legends into the plate-glass fronts of stores at Battle Creek. Among his favorite inscriptions are: "Saloon, in bold characters, for drug stores; "Undertaker two doors west," for doctors' offices; "Poker room up stairs," for saloon windows; "We are all liars," for clothing stores, and "Come early and avoid the rush," for banks. George A Xxe, of Lebanon, is the smartest man in Eastern Connecticut killing rats. Ho went into his corn house a day or two ago, shut the door, drove the rats into the jetty of the building, and went to work with a wheel spoke in his hand. Half an hour later, when he came out of the corn house, he left an even hundred of dead rats on the field of conflict. Mr. Nye avows that he wants no time allowance in killing rats against the best rat-dog in the country Pbof. Nicholson of the State University of London, Neb., haSvbeen presented with interesting Indian relics taken from the grave of an old warrior at Louisville in Cass County. The brave was buried in a sitting posture with his face to the east and was well supplied with jewelry. The professor's share of this finery is a ring and a bracelet. Both are of pounded brass. The ring bears a rudely carven letter M on the seaL The intrinsic value of the metal is not large, but the jewelry is not for sale at any price. Eighteen hundred men struck in the collieries in Durham County, England, because the proprietors had recovered nominal damages in an action against several men who had quit work without notice on account of some dispute in one of the mines. The men would not pay, and six of them were sent to jail in default. The strikers refused to go back until their comrades were released. One night some stranger went to the jail and paid the fines of the men, who were at once set free. The men held a meeting next day and decided to go back to work. LLM. Curry, United States Minister to Spain, says that "the Queen of Spain manifests great affection and admiration for the young wife of cur Chief Magistrate. Her Majesty never tires of talking to me about Mrs. Cleveland, and has numberless questions to ask concerning our first lady's personal beauty, her manners, her tone of conversation, her style of dress, and everything that would occur to a woman's mind. She expresses great anxiety to see the youthful mistress of the White House, and apparently bears her as much love as if Mrs. Cleveland were the Queen's own daughter." William Riley, of Springfield, Ohio, has two daughters who are suffering from the effects of using too much facepowder. The use of their fingers and arms has been lost, and violent pains in the limbs and stomach have followed. The first symptoms were noticed five years ago, but neither knew wht it was. For the past few days, Kate, who was once portly, bat now a mere skeleton, began having spasms every halfhour, and is now in a critical condition. Local physicians say it is doubtful if she ever recovers, and should she live she will never be as healthy again, as white lead from the wash has permeated her system. A Giiiif 13 years old, belonging to a spiritualist family at Gilroy, says the ban Francisco Examiner, has fctartled the community by communications and

penciled sketches of heads, supposed to be from life. These written messages and likenesses appear on her arm, and often remain visible for an hour. The father of the girl says they come and go on the girl's bare arm evidently under the cuticle, and cannot be washed away. A statement which has gained currency, that the girl is in the habit of sewing carbon tracing paper in her sleeve, is indignantly denied by the family, and many regard her as a most remarkable medium.

The strange power exercised by E.ome cats over snakes was illustrated at the residence of Mr. Royal, who lives near Grant's Pass, says the Portland Oregoniaru Attention wus drawn to the strange antics of a kitten recently taken to the house, and on examination it was found that she had a 'rattler" charmed. The snako, a large one, was coiled and with its head following every direction of the kitten in front of it, until a gentleman who was present despatched the reptile with a club. During the whole occurrence the kitten seemed to realize the importance of the situation and never allowed her attention to wander from the snake, paying no attention to the strange dog which arrived upon the scene. The snake had seven rattles.

Therk are at present in the zoological gardens at Paris, twenty genuine Ashantees twelve males and eight females. They a:ra negroes of the blackest dye, well known for their ferocity, courage, and valor. The habitat of the Ashantees is in the western part of central Africa. They are among the most beautiful varieties of the negro race ; comparable to the Caucassian Abissynians. Every three weeks, during the festivities of Adol and those of Jam in September, the people commit wholesale butchery of human beings. After the death of the late Queen mother, the King had 3,000 men killed to satisfy the groanings of his mother's spirit During these butcheries, the Ashantee warriors drink the blood of the victims warm as it issues from tho wounds, believing that it will render them strong and brave. There is 8, tradition compelling the King to maintain 3,333 concuoines in the harem if he would make sure of the preservation and well-being of his kingdom. The royal residence is called Coumassie, with 12,000 to 15,000 inhabitants. The whole kingdom is estimated at from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 inhabitants. They were little known until thoy sustained a long war with the n egro natio as living near the coasts, all of which were conquered by the Ashantees. The greater portion of their country is ndw under an English protectorate. Gen. George A. Sheridan tells this story about the late Gen. Steedman: "Steedxuan came to me once in the Fifth Avenue Hotel and asked me for a loan of $50. It was when I had more money than I have now, and I went over to the cashier and got him the cash. It struck me as queer that he should be in need of that amount of money, for he was still collector at New Orleans. , However, he could have had $500 as readily as $50 so long as I had it. He was the kind of a man one could share his last crust with, and he had saved my life once on a time. But when I came to hand him the money he hesitated a bit and then said: 'George, you may never get this back; I'm harder hit than you know.' My reply was : 'It all goes, Jim, and whether I ever see it from you or not is wholly immaterial to me.' Then he took from his picket a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, nofciying him in set terms that his accouat as collector showed balances due the Government amounting to nearly $700,000, with the plain and imperative demand for payment by check by return mail or the Secretary would draw at sight. It took my breath away. 4 Well was all I could say. "When he took out of his pocket and sh 3wed me his reply, mailed that afternoon, I reraomber thinking it was as cool as the Goneral himself was reputed to be in danger. It simply said to his superior officer that he had no bank account, and that if the Government would draw on him at sight or at any other period it would do so at the expense of a dishonored draft. There was no attempt at explanation, concealment, evasion, or apology. He simply laid down his hand face up. I remomber thinking that a nerve like that ought to have put the balance in his f ivor instead of against him. I believe his accounts were never settled. He had influence at Washington and was never prosecuted."

Fishing in California. "That's all right," said the hardy mountaineer, "I'll look after the grub." They were going out on a two-days' expedition, and the mountaineer was going to show the city man game big game. Thy started, and lifter a long tramp the city man felt hungry and mentioned the iacr. They stopped and an odd-shaped package, the alleged lunch-basket, was opened. "There you are all a fellow can want on a trip like this." The lunch-basket consisted of a dozen water-crackers and six bottles of whisky. The city man looked sad. "Wouldn't ha' brought them watercrackers," said the mountaineer, "but don't like to take my whisky altogether straight" San Francisco Chronicle. Weak carbolic acid solution sponged over skin and hair is said to drive away any aud all insects.

Guarded by His Honor. An old local history of Pennsylvania, now out of print, says the Youth's Companion, contains tho following anecdote, which gives us a new incident in Washiugton's life. During the "whisky insurrection" in Western Pennsylvania in 1792, the leader, Bradford, acquired a powerful influence over a wealthy farmer named John Mitchel, and drew him deeply into the conspiracy. Mitchel was a young, enthusiastic man with a beautiful home, a wife, and one child. The conspirators believed that information of their plans had been sent from the little village of Washiugton, in Pennsylvania, to the President. Bradford persuaded Mitchel that the letters containing this information were in the mails and must be seized as an act of military necessity. Robbery of the mails was then an offense punishable by death, but Mitchel, convinced that he was risking his life to servo his country, joined by two other men, stopped the wagon on a lonely road between Washington and Pittsburgh, and carried the mail-bag to Bradford's house. It was qpened, the damaging letters were taken out, and the rest were returned to the postoilice at Pittsburgh. When the insurrection was quelled all the leaders escaped excepting J ohn

Mitchel, who rode into camp, and, iiuding Gen, Morgan, gave himself up. "I have been a fool," he said. UI see that plainly. I am ready to bear the punishment of my folly." Gen. Morgan, who knew that he had been deceived by Bradford, was annoyed that he had not made his escape with him. He believed Mitchel to be at heart an honest man, and, with the rest of the county, liked and respected him, but knowing that if he was brought to trial the punishment would be death he determined to give him a chance to escape. "You cannot be tried here," he said. "I will give you a pass to Philadelphia, Report yourself there. " "I am to have a guard?" "No, none." The General turned on his heel and walked away. He intended and expected Mitchel to flee as soon as he had reached the wilderness, but the young farmer's honor was a stricter guard than soldiers would have been, and drove him without flinching to his death. He bade farewell to his wife and child and started alone on horseback to Philadelphia. It was a three weeks' journey, at auy hour of which he could have escaped. He reported himself as a prisoner, was tried, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged. When the news reached Gen. Morgan he sent a special messenger to the President, with an account of the facts in the case. Washington, it is said, was deeply touched, and at once sent a full pardon to Mitchel, with a message to return to his wifo and child and to keep clear of conspirators for the rest of his life. French (Jood Sense. So preponderant is rationality in the French nature that Frenchmen strike us, sometimes, as a curious compound of the Quaker and the Hebrew. We are used to lesn alertness, to more relaxation. Bathos, enervation, are foreign to I heir atmosphere, and aro speedily transformed amid its bracing breezes. But it is impossible to be so completely unsontimcntal as the French are without missing some of the quality of which sentimentality is really but the excess. The perfu ne of this they certainly miss. There are characters in Anglo-Saxondom not to seek the Gemnthlichksit of Germany that are completely penetrated with this fine aroma. Neither are they rare; every man's acquaintance includes such. Their lives are full of a sweet, indefinable charm. Whatever the exterior, and often it is rugged and forbidding, the real nature within glows with a delightful aud temperate fervor that irradiates everywhere the circle within which they exist and move. Whatever, indeed, tho intellectual fiber of equipment, the "mellow fruitfulness" of disposition and demeanor is potently seductive. Still further, one may find the quality in question illuminating and rendering subtly attractive most deviously tortuous moral imperfections. And in France this quality hardly exists. In very few varieties of French type is it to bo found, even in dilution. Evea then it is apt to be imported. Rousseau was Swiss, and his hoart and imagination had been touched by the deep colors and mysterious spaces of the Jura with a magic which it is vain to seek under the gray skies of Northern, or amid the "sunburnt mirth," the "dance and Provencal song," of Southern Gaul. Passionately patriotic as was the chief of Rousseau's successors, it h undoubtedly to her Northern blood that she owes her sentiment. About her French side, a side which came to the surface chiefly in her life, as the other did in her books, there was, if we may believe M. Paul do Musset and other chroniquenrs, very little sentiment indeed. IF. C. Jirownell, in Scribner's Magazine, Thoughts on Music. Music exists for the expression of varied emotions: sadness, longing, hope, triumph, aspiration toward the unobtained or the indefinite, calm fulfillment of an artistic conception of fitness and beauty; and besides these, monotony, long spells of unbroken quiescence, mental perturbation even to a positive sense of physical discomfort, are absolutely essential to relieve and heighten the mere ecstatic emotions of pleasure called forth by a musical composition. We cannot always be burning with passion and reciting dramatic duets, or heading triumphal processions. We do not do so in real life. This is what the Italians have failed to recognize. Their staggering

tenors and palpitating sopranos rave together down by the prompter's box in an almost unintcrmittent frenzy of passion ; a very parody of life, bereft of many of its tranquil charms and minor impressions plewmrahly painful, each having its own special effect and value !y contrasts in relation to the rest of our lives. It is not only vivid impressions that are interesting; these heaped up one upon another constitute a plethora of overstrained e?:citement that will jade and exhaust the most

!

passionate nature. There are countless

experiences in life which leavo us in a tranquil condition of onjojrment, and since these make up by far the greater portion of our existence, and aro the Vehicle of the most powerful emotions, are they not worthy of a prominent place in so comparative an index of human sentiment as music ? Chambers9 Journal. Homes Built by Swallows A pair of chimney swallows built their nest over the inner hall door in the dwelling of a writer in Chamber's Journal, the outer door being left open at night after the work began, to give the birds access in tho mornings. Though the bird left its nest whenever any one passed in or out and Hew about so long as any one stood in the doorway, which not infrequently occurred, five birds were safely hatched and fledged, the young returning to their nest for some nights after. War being declared against the birds as a nuisance by the housekeeper, and it being diificult to argue otherwise, orders wore issued against another year's occupancy of tho premises. In the following May the birds were promptly on the ground, and set resolutely to work in their old quarters; and though warned olF by having the outer door shut again and again in their faces, and kepi; so for hour:? each day, and always till late morning, the birds lost no opportunity, when tho door was open, in building their nests for two long weeks. Even some time after that, when it seemed certain thoy must bo nesting elsewhere, they came occasionally, as though loth to give up their loved haunt. Five successive years these birds returned, trying hard to get o reoccupancy; and when their favorite corner wan gained such a delightful love chatter was heard as only chimney swallows can indulge in. It seems fair evid'ence that the same birds have always returned, from the fact that it is .unusual for birds to enter a hallway which is well frequented, the same corner always being chosen, and each year their efforts growing less persistent. In the head of the rainpipe, nearly over the front door of the same house, a pair of starlings have reared their brood for several years. Very unwillingly they, too, have been proceeded against as a nuisance. For three successive years the spout-head was stuffed with dry pine branches, each year more carefully, to debar the birds; but each year, after much labor, the birds forced an entrance. In 1884 a bird-house was erected for their convenience on an oak tree in front of the house which is the favorite perch of the starlings and before nesting-time the spout-head was boarded over. The birds "tried their utmost pecking powers on the board i.a vain, and for a day or tvvo visited the bird-house which in another site had been occupied by starlings but, contrary to the tuuaf habits of the birds, thoy built their nest "above board," under the eaves and as close to the old site as possible; and here a brood of young birds in early June were safely reared. The Medieval Meter in Medica, A ring made of the hirge of a coffin was credited with the power of relieving cramps, which also received solace when a rusty old sword was hung up by the patient's bedside. Nails driven into an oak tree were not a cure but a preventive against toothache. A halter which had served to hung a criminal withal when bound round the temples was found an infallible remedy for headache. A dead man's hand could dispel tumors of the glands by stroking the parts nine times, but the hand of a man who had been cut down from a gollows-trp was, we need not say, a remedy infinitely more efficacious. Some of these remedies still exists among the superstitious poor of the provinces, although the formula, of course, is not now strictly adhered to, the game being emphatically hardly worth the candle. To cure warts, for instance, the best thing was to steal a piece of beef from the butcher, with which the warts were to be rubbed, after which it was to ba interred, and as the process of decomposition went on the warts would wither and disappear. The chips of a gallows on which several persons had been hanged, when worn in a bag round the neck, were pronounced an infallible cure for tho ague. The nightmare, supposed, of course, to be caused by supernatural agency, was banished by means of a stone with a hole in it being suspended at the head of the sufleror s bed. This last remedy went by the name of a hagstone, because it prevented the witches, who, of course, wrought the mischief, from sitting on the patient's stomach. Its effects upon these mis

chievous old crones was singularly deterrent. The poor old creatures, who could not have sat a horse tho moment he began to walk, were credited with riding these animals over the moorland at headlong speed in the dead of the night, when better disposed and less risky people were wrapped in slumber. A hag-stone tied to the key of a stable door at once put a stop to these heathenish vagaries. Lo nclon Times.

TUcir Penurious Graces. Tho Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh aro so penurious that at times it makes them really ridiculous. A gentleman living in Sid mouth, on the Devonshiro coast, says that during a storm the yacht with these two members of royalty on board was in great danger, and that he had gone out with a brave crew and rescued them from a watery grave. The only acknowledgment made to the seamen was a mere "thank you." As tho crew was composed of poor men this expression of appreciation was scarcely acceptable, especially as the Duchess of Edinburgh is ono of tho richest women in the world. It is un-

! derstood that the Duko refuses to lend his good-natured elder brother of Wales money, and that that jolly spendthrift is obliged to fall back upon the amiability of Mr. Tailor and Mr. Bootmaker for favors of this description. ! A stout old lady got out of a crowded omiribus thw other day, exclaiming, "Well, that's a relief anyhow. To which tho driver replied, "So the hosstis I thinks, mum."

''lie Danger of Foot' Ball. The game is as safe as any outdoor game can well be, provided it is played with the careful preparation and training which are the rule in the larger colleges; it is a dangerous and unfit game when men undertake to play it without such preparation and training. In the season of last year, two fatal accidents were reported; both occurred in colleges whrch were attempting to play the game as it is played by the leading teams, without any of the preparation which i;hey find an essential. The writer, who has been in the lie-bit of attending tho regular games of the college, with which he is connected, has felt under obligations to be equally consistent in attending the daily practice games of tiie men, in order to watch the prelimirary training; and he must confess to a great respect for the good senile and good management of the under-graduatas who have the matter in charge, 'The University team7 is selected provisionally; it is pitted daily against a second, or 'scrub,' team of somewhat larger numbers; both teams

aro kept under careful training and supervision; the playing is made short and as gentle as pssible at first, until the men begin" to become hard;' the playing is then gradually lengthened and made more e eve re, as the men bocome able to endure it; and, by the time the season comes to its last game, the players are able to endure with impunity treatment which would be dangerous to men who are 'soft,1 or out of condition. After the first few weeks are over,5 and serious playing has bogun, men who have not yet played are not encouraged, or, in extreme cases, even allowed, to play on the 'scrub' team; the manners think it inadvisable to run any risks. The players are not only brought to a point of physical condition which makes it a pleasure to watch them ; they are taught how to fall, when a fall is inevitable, in such a way as to retain control of the ball without hazarding a broken bone or a dislocation. When the closing games come on, the player can take what seems to the spectator a frightful fall, not only without a bruise, but so skillfully that it is regularly necessary for his opponent to 'hold him down lest he rebound at d take to his heels aga in. The preliminary practice games can hardly be more severe elsewhere than at Princeton ; and yet the writel has never seen a serious accident occuz there. An acc dent may occur, ol course, and will jpve no warning of its coming, but its coming has been put as far as possible out of the range of probability. But if men in other colleges wished to play foot-ball, as should be the case, they must not ignore the systematic course of preparation, take the final playing of a well-trained team as a model, and attempt to imitate it. It is from such folly that the recurring accidents in foot-bfdl come. With good physical condition in the players, the requisite training, and suitable grounds, the game is not only one of the best of outdoor sports, but one of the safest," The Century. How Lincoln Comforted an Officer. There was a froe fight one night near the National Theater. An officer of the district who had most intimate relations with the Preside it attempted to stop it by commanding the peace. The crowd for a moment obeyed ; but a bully, their leader, pushed the officer back and ordered him to leave on penalty of a sound beating. The officer said, "I arrest you," whereupon 'he bully aimed a terrific blow which was parried, and in turn the officer struck the bully under the chin with his fist, knocking him senseless. Blood issued from his mouth, nose, and ears. It was believed that the man's neck was broken. A surgeon was called who pronounced the case a critical one and the wounded man was hurried away on a litter to the hospital. There the physicians said there was concussion of the brain and the man would dio. The officer was deeply grieved. His conscience smote him for having, as he believed, taken the life of a fellowcreature, and te was inconsolable. La to that night he went to the White House and begged to see the President Mr, Lincoln admitted him and heard his story, which was manifestly truthful in all its details. "I am sorry," said Mr, Lincoln, "that you had to kill a man, but these are times of war and a good many men deserve killing. This one, according to your story, got na more than he deserved. So give yourself no uneasiness ; I will stand by you. You go home now and get some sleep. But let me give vou a little advice : Hereafter, whenever you have occasion to strike a man,

don't hit him with your fist. Strike him with a club, or a crowbar, or with something that won't kill" Ward JET. Lamon, in Chicago News.

Hard On the Counsel. The following experience of a Mississippi lawyer was related by himself to the writer many years ago. He said : "I was defending a prisoner for horse-stealing, and seeing no oilier means of defending him, under the circumstances, I set up the plea of insanity. I argued it at length, read many extracts froni works on medical jurisprudence, and had the patient atten turn of the Court The prosecuting attorney did not attempt to reply to my argument or controvert my authorities; 1 seemed to have things my own way, and whispered to the prisoner that he needn't be une asy. Then came the Judge's charge, in which he reminded tho jury that there was no dispute between counsel as to the facts of tho case. Indeed, there could not have been, for several witnesses had sworn positively that they saw my client steal the horse. 'But,1 concluded the Court, 'the plea of insanity has been set up, and I charge you, gentlemen of the jury, that it should receive your very grave and serious deliberation; but 1 must be allowed to say, gentlemen, that for myself, upon a review of the whole case, I can discover no evidence of insanity on the part of the prisoner, except, perhaps, in the selection of his counsel" Harper's Magazine.
