CHINESE SALUTATION.

Inc salatatIon between two Cinnamon
when they meet consists in each clasping and
shaking his ovn hands. instead of each
others, and bowing very profoundly, almost
to the ground several times. A question
more common than "How DO you do p is,
"Have you eaten rice p This being the
sample article of food throp ghout the empire
and forming the chief and Indispensable
part ofevery meal, it is taken for granted
that if you have "eaten rice" you are well.
Etiquette requires that in conversation,
each should mpliment the other and every
thing belonging to him, il the most laud'
atory style and depreeiate himself with all
pretaining to him, 10 the lowest possible
point. The following is not exaggerated,
though not the precise words:
VIA. is your honorable name p
Ny ins gnifeant appellation is Kin.
"Where is your magnificent palace?
'.My contemptible hut is at Suchu.'
Chow mauy are your illustrious children p
"Mv vile, worthless brats are five
Glow is the health of your distinguished
Spouse 2"
Ny mean, good for nothing old woman is
well.

Ofthe nations yet to be-
The first low wash of waves that sol
Shall roll q human sea-

The forbidden adventurer, after hesita-
ting moment, resolved te get a glimpse
of this enchanted domain, which even then
was Paradise lost, its original owners
never were to regain. Taking different
route, he sought the top Of one of the
neighboring hills, and surveyed with aston
ishment and delight all that came within
the compass of his sight. Behind him
were boundless, untroddcn, overshadowing,
majestic forests; before him lay an undu-

August, 1887. With his parents he came
to the West in 1910 Favored in child
hood with only the advantages of a common
school instruction, bis thirst for knowledge
led him to attempt the difficult task of self
education, in order to make up for the de-
fciencies Of more extensive series of
academical studies. He made a dilgent
ana judieious use of his leisure hours, by
devoting them to study, reading, observa-

best for Young man to believe before the

The Polk COUNTY MYsTERY-The follow.
ing account Of the strange freaks Of nature
We clip from the Taylor Falls Reporter
We learn from hr. Joseph S. Corey, who
resides at East Lake, Polk county, W iscon
sin, the following facts, which we give our
readers, and strange as they may appear we
doubt not their truth in any particular, as
they were well authenticated by many wit
nessos upon whose veracity, as upon Mr..
Corey's We place implicit confidence.
On Tuesday, jane 26th, while Mr. Corey
and his two sons were at work in q field near
his house. their attention was arrested by
smoke which appeared to rise from his sta.
bic. They hurried to the barn as quickly as
possible, and discovered pile of straw, near
By, on fire. This was Immediately extin,
guished, and just ss they were returning to
the field, the stable caught in different places,
which By considerable exertion was put out.
Before, however,, they had left the premises,
another fire was discovered underneath the
grainery, in 8 pile Of boards. The bottom
board was burned nearly through, but the
others were not even scorched. After this
was put out, Mr.. Corey sent one of the boys
into the house to ascertain ifall vas safe there.
He Immediately came out and told his father
that the house was on fire. Mr.. Corey i'm
mediataly ran uD stairs, where he found some
cloths, that his wife had laid away the day
before, we're burning. They were thrown
out of the window, and from that time until
late at midnight the fire broke out all over
the house. First a paper would catch, then
3 musquito bsr, then again straw bed ct c.,
and it was only by the utmost exertions of
Mr.. Corey, aided By two gentlemen, Mr.
Hale and Treadwell, that the building was
saved. The fire continued at intervals un,
til Sunday, 1st inst, and attracted many
visitors, We shall not attempt to give any
cause for ,his wonderful freak of nature, but
viii iec.ve the question to be solved by some
CT our philosophers. The facts, as we learn
them from an eye witness, are true, and
if any one can solve the mystery, we shall be
glad to hear from them

Der of trees over thirty feet in diameter and

Recent accounts from the Coos silver
mining districtare encouraging. Two tons
OF the ore are on the way to San Francisco
for testing, and high expectations are in
dulged from the richness of advance speci-
mems.
The Washoe mining accounts continue
favorable, but are a mere repetition of for
mer accounts. Tie receipts of ore at San
Francisco continue large, and there seems
no doubt that when the necessary works are
erected for attracting silver at the mines,
the yield will be sufficient to form an i'm
portant item to the treasure product of the
world.
The Atlantic & Pacific telegraph line was
TO be opened to Los Angeles by the goth.

transacted, and preparations will be made
for going to Vincennes on Friday. The

especially National Guard of Freedom

local and general-involved in the coming

little of their time now in this crisis to their
country and the cause of correct principles.
If the Republican party sh ould be successful
and the corrupt party that has for years
prostituted their power to the basest
purposes, be defeated, those who now give
their time to the good cause of governments
