"A vein of salt water was struck at
Lawrence, Kansas, a few days ago, while
boring for water for a wooden factory. The
water yields one-half pound of salt to the
gallon of water. AT that yield the bust

profitable in that section. arrangements
are already made to commence the manu-
facture, and it is expected that by fall one
hundred barrels per day will be produced.

Two or three years ago, Ezra Cornell
desired to give half a million dollars to the
establishment of University at Ithaca,
New York, where he resides, and some ac-
ton of the Legislature was necessary TO
provide for the acceptance of his gift.
Quite number of members were anxious,
for reasons of local and denominational
character, to get an appropriation for Gen
esee College-and it turned out that they
held the balance of power or the question.
So they added to the bill proviso that Mr..
Cornell should give S25,0o0 to Genesee
College as the condition on which he was
allowed 10 give the half million to hisown
University and under this compulsion the
bill passed, and Mr. Cornell paid the
money. Now a bill has been passed to
refund to him that amount from the State
Treasury.

His Majesty Of Abyssinla has arrested
another party OF Engllshmen in vengeance
for the unrequited love which formerly he
bestowed upon their Queen. 1t will be re-
IN embered that soon after the death of the
Prince Consort, his Majesty made overtures
to Victoria both diplomatic and domestic.
These the Queen utterly sighted, nor paid
any heed to them until word came that his
offended Majesty had arrested all the Eng
fish missionaries within his domain, to be
held as hostages for the good behavior of
their sovereign. Then an embassy went
out, and returned with answer that moth
ing would avail but war or matrimony
The good Queen wrote to her cousin and
sent him presents with the request'to re-
lease her imprisoned subjects; which he
wouldn't do, but arrested some more of
them. The latest arrest is of party of
friends of the prisoners, who went to see
what personal appeal could do. Abyssinia
Is favorably located on the Red Sea route
to India, and England may find it conve-
nient presently to annex that kingdom and
bring its loye-crazed king to London for
exhibition.

Wonders Of Natural History.

Last July Mr. Jefferson Olmstead, of Sa-
vannah, missed hog weighing some two
hundred pounds, and nothing was seen or
heard of him until last week, when Mr.
Olmstead, having occasion to take down
straw stack on his place, his swineship was
discovered underneath. There was no
doubt from the signs and the facts given,
that the hog had been in the straw since
last July. He was probably asleep in the
straw when the stack was being made,
which was the time the hog was missed,
and was covered up so completely and
closely that he could not escape. His
weight was, when found, about sixty
pounds. The hog seemed to be as well as
ever, save the falling off in weight.-Clyde

CATCHING MINK.
Early ON Saturday morning, Mr.. EnOs
eraser, a fiagman on the Hudson River
about mile above this city, captured a
mink, in a novel manner. The ami
NAL attempted to run across the track,
but the instant that he struck the
cold, frosty rail he stuck fast, and was
captured by the flagman before ..he could
move from his sealed position. The mink
proved to be of the largest size and the fur
of extra quality. Experienced hunters say
this is the most extraordinary manner of
trapping animals that has ever come to
their knowledge, and they consider it worth
passing notice, if not special patent
Hudson (N. ~ Register.
HOW RUSSIAN sABLEs ARE CAUGHT.
Provided with a pitcher of water, the
hunter stations himself in a tree over the
hole leading to the habitation of the ami
NAL and when the latter comes out, and
stands looking about, the hunter pours
some water on the creatures tail, which al
most instantly becomes frozen to the
ground The hunter then descends, and
with his knife slashes the sable's face. The
frightened animal struggles to get away,
and finally escapes through the opening
made in its countenance by the hunters
knife, leaving its skin in the possession OF
the hunter, while it returns to its hole to
await the growth of new skin.-Aun-
