early part Of the year 1884 the newspapers OF Caayeas

were known by the miners to exist there But the Aza
mines are the only from which silver has actually
been obtained They were first worked in 1881 by an old
Mexican miner Who disagreeing with the owner of the
land concealed the vein and left the country In 1852
was again worked by party Of inexperienced German
miners backed by some San Francisco capitalists About

THE RISo OF PoLYcRArEs.-A vine dresser of
Albano, near Rome, is said TO have found in a
vineyard the celebrated ring Of Polycrates. The
treasure, the history of which is familiar TO all
readers of SchiIler's ballads, was brought to Rome
after the death of Polycrates, 522 years before
the birth of Christ; was seen also by, Pliny, and
mentioned by-him. The Emperor Augustus
placed in n golden case, and deposited it for
safety it the Temple of Concord. The stone of
the ring is of considerable size. and oblong in
form. The engraving on it, by Theodore OF Sn-
mos, the son of TaIkles, is Of extraordinary fine
ness and beauty. Il represents a Tyre with three
bees flying about below, on the right, a dolphin;
on the left, the head of bull. The name of the
engraverjs Inscribed in Greek character. The
upper surface of the stone is slightly concavc.
not highly polished, and one corner broken. 1t

been offered 10000 dollars for it, by an English
man, but has declined it expecting to make a
more profitable bargain with the Emperor Alex

FhArps Al CASTLE GArpEx.-The Police Ga.

FRAUDS AT CASTLE GARDEx.-The Police Ga
zette says that ferdinand Urban, a German, ap-
peared at the Mayors Office, and sworn to an
affidavit setting forth that he arriyed in New York
on oath inst, at Castle Garden; was askeda mum
Der Of questions, which he answered; was final
Iy asked where he was going; replied that he
ment to stop in the city; was asked how many
of a family he had, replied five children; was then
told that he would not be permitted to remain
in the city with so many persons. Urban then
said that if that was the order of the authorities,
he would prefer going to Wisconsin. Tickets
were then written out, a~ndIhe.:paid Ss1 % for
the same, to take him to Milwaukee. This was
charging $l2 80 a head. Since he became a par
ty to this agreement he hears that the authori-
ties have no power to compel him to leave the
city, and he prays that the managers at Castle
Garden be compelled to restore the money OBJ
tanned from him by false prctenccs. Thu same
day a y woman applied for redress to have some
property restored which had been stolen from
her trunk, which had been locked and strapped.
The officials down at the Garden sent her about
her business. On Monday a trunk was broken
open by some of the ~hangers-on around Castle
Garden, and $500 distracted from the same

SrEYCuNrNE.-In Ceylon and several districts
of India grows a moderate sized tree, with thick
shining leaves, and a short crooked stem. In
the fruit season it is readily recognized by rich
orange-colored berries, about as large as golden
%pippins, the farOrite food of many kind of birds,
within which are the fiat round seeds, not an
inch in diameter, ash-grey in color, and coated
with very minute silky hairs. The Dutch fancy
they can discover a resembiaucein them to grey
eyes, aud callthem crows eyes, but the likeness
is only imaginary. q The tree is the strychnos
nux vomica, and the seed is the deadly poison
nut. The latter was early uscdas a medicine by
the Hindoos, and its nature and properties un-
derstood by Oriental doctors long before it was
known to foreign nations. Dog-killer and fish
scale are two Of its Arabic names. 1t is stated
that ut present the natives Of Hindostan often
take it Tor many months continuously, in much
the same way as opium-eaters take opium
They commence with taking the eigth part of a

grains. If they eat it directly before or after
