The WoMAN's CLUB-1Ts OBJEcT.-
John Paul writes from New York GA
considerable curiosity has been cx-
pressed to know what the object Of this
woman's club is, and what is going on
there. Have patience, good public, and
You shall know. The married women
will tell their husbands oil about it,
and, some Of them being editors, 1t will
get into the papers. There's Mrs. Paul,
for instance I've got nothing out of her
yet, but tho things working. The
treatment which she is now undergoing
never fails. / affect to have ne curios-
ity at oil scarcely mention the club in
fact except to say, when the appointed
day comes well, my dear, this is your
c~lub.night /; you'll want my latch key, I
suppose. Don't lot that horribly dissi-
pated Mrs. Brown persuade you to drink
more tea than's good for you, and If I've
retired when you get home, como up rs
softly as you can, and don't get into
bed with your boots on-be particular
about that She assumes a very mys-
terious Dir about her club and tries
to provoke me into questions-which,
of course, if / asked, she would refuse
to answer. AS it is, in the face Of my
indifference to know, II is evident she is
dying to tell. The other night she put
her ni~ght-capped head close to mine,
and began, { oh, if was only sure. that
you wouldn't tell about the Sorosis,
I'd I simply said, Don't dear, I'm
SO sleepy However, ] intended to let
her tell me at an carly day, for plainly
the thing is on her mind, and she must
have it of. 1t is q clear case Of femin-

ANCIENT LARoR.-Labor in ancient
times seems to have been rather poorly
rewarded. When Spain was under
Carthagenian rule the silver mines of
Cazlona, on the Gaudalimar, gave en-
ployment in the time of Polybius, to
forty thousand persons, and produced
daily $4,000 drachms, or about $1,000
worth of silver. This was only l2l
cents to each miner per day /; on the
superstition that the workingmen got
all the product; but ON the more cor
rect hypothesis that the w%orkingmen
only got about half the product, and the
proprietors the balance, the wages Of
the miners must have been about Ct
cents per dsy-equal, however, to
about so cents per day in u currency.
The workiugmen were, however, slaves,
both white and black.

LARGE AS Snow BALLs.-A hail storm
at Bushnell, ILL.,, recently, is described
as resembling q shower Of snow balls,
some Of the hail stones measuring thir-
teen inches in circumference and weigh
ing over nine ounces Skylights were
dashed into fragments, and unsubstan-
tial roofs somewhat riddled. The same
storm was violent at Keokuk aud Des
Moines, Iowa, terminating in each in
stance in a heavy rain which flooded the
streams and made general havoc of the
bridges. Some ~unroofng was done by
the wind at Indianapolis, and high wind
and heavy rain were quite general In
the Northwest.

CONSUMPTION OF GOLD IN PorTERrEs.-
Nearly $4,000 worth of gold is annu-
ally consumed in the decoration Of CHI
no and earthenware in England, by far
the greater part of which is in the STAFF
fordshire potteries, aud the total amount
used in decorating the potteries' goods,
and in gliding generally, in England and
France, is estimated to be 10000 ozs.
This is lost to the currency forever. To
a large extent the gold is obtained in
England from the Bank Of England in
the form of clipped sovereigns. The
popular impression is that the light SOW
ereigns 60 to the Mint to be re-melted
and re-coined, but q vast number of
trades in England require standard gold
for all sorts Of purposes, and these reg
ularly go to the bank to buy these cut
sovcreigns.-Mning Journal,

TIE FALL OF II DRvL.-The devil
had q fall lately in Buffalo. The event
is thus recorded in the Commercial !:
"Tho little boy "Jake," who does the
(printer's) DEVILS work for the CONNER
eial establishment, met with a severe
accident on Saturday afternoon, in an
attempt to 60 from the top to the bot
tom Of the first flight Of stairs, in this
building, without touching his head.
Tho feat was all the more difficult from
the fact that his feot slipped at the top
step, and he didn't get q fair start. He
also carried a wooden pail in n hand.
At first the pail turned Jake, then Jake
turned pale. The bucket hit Jake in
the side, then Jake turned up his toes
and almost kicked the bucket. His
head was q little turned by the feat. 1t
wasn't level until he struck the pave
mont. That levelled him. Some per-
sons who were passing, stopped and
raised tho devil. He was carried into
the office. Doctor was called, examined
patient, and found several injuries on
face and head. Internal injuries could
not be seen. It is hoped that he hasn't
got any. We feel sorry for Jake. He
is q good little devil. He was at his
DEVILS work again, yesterday, lively as
usual, and ticklod to know that no still
liyes.n

A New LANp.-The French, who were
always strong in camps" have lately
brought out o new invention, which is
said to be as brilliant as the oxy-hydro-
gen aud lime lights, while it has the
recommendation Of being much less
costly. Coal gas, intimately mixed with
air, is urged with gentle pressure along
a tube, and made to pass through o me-
tallic plate, pierced full Of minute holes.
By this means q vast number of jets are
obtained, which, after being driven
through q fine tissue of platinum wire,
are lighted in the ordinary way. The
platinum soc acquires a white heat,
and gives out SO brilliant a light that it
cannot BIO supported by the naked eye.
About one metre of gas is consumed per
hour. It is called the Bour6ouze lamp.

New PLAN FOR BUDDING RosEs.-A
writer in the American journal of Horh-
culture adopts q plan for budding roses
which greatly e~xpedites the work, and
is a complete success. Instead Of paste
or worstsd, common adhesive plaster is
substituted. In this method no tying
IL necessary, the plaster adhering at
once exactly where it is required. The
plaster used is the common adhesive
plaster bought at the shops, aud tho
writer states that by Its use the budding
is performed with greater neatness and
exactnsss as well as rapidly.

LOCKED HoRSs.-The last California
Legislature passed an Act authorizing
the butchers of San Francisco to pur-
chase certain tide-lands near Hunters
Point, at o valuation to be fixed by the
Board of State Harbor Commissions rs.
Tho Board viewed the lands and APP
praised them ut one hundred and fifty
dollars per acre, ut which rate the
butchers were anxious to accept aud
pay for them, and with that end in view
~jourueyed to Sacramento and made q
tender of the amount due, to the State
Treasurer. That fnnctionary, at the
instance of Governor Haight, refused
to accept the money, the Governor hold
ing that the appraisement fell far short
of the true value Of the lands. He
claims that 81 900 per acre would be a
fairer appraisement than $3.50, and
avows his willingness to take them at
the higher figure. Tho butchers have
applied to the Supreme Court for IN
damus to compel tho Controller and
Treasurer to perform their duties under
tho Act. As We understand it, this is
ono of the rare cases in which oil con-
cerned are wrong. Tho Legislature so
worded tho Act as to prohibit tho Com
m~issioncrs from taking into account the
uses to which the land was to DO dc.
voted Z; tho effect Of such uses on the
value Of other State lands in the vicin-
ity, or its prospective value the conse-
qucnt policy or impolicy of disposing
of it, and left to the butchers, and not
to the Commissioners, the designation
of the lands to be disposed of. Herein
the Legislature vas wrong. 1t should
havo required the removal Of the
butchers to such point rs sanitary
considerations demanded and furnished
them State lands upon which to estab-
lish themselves at rates regulated partly
by the value, partly by the public good
accomplished by removal, and partly by
the expense and Inconvenience demand
ed of the butchers in behalf of the
public. The Commissioners erred in
taking into consideration the very points
which the Act carefully but enormously
prohibited. The Governor errs in seek
ing to override the law by exercising
the powers Of q censor and revisor Of
the acts Of the Commissioners, whereas
the evident deliberate intention Of tho
law was to vest the Commissioners with
plenary powers in the premises. Tho
butchers err in seeking to obtain the
lands at less than their value, but they
have n reasonable cxcus in the fact
that the law authorizes the swindle.
