A Wonderful spring.

The editor of the Griffin Star, after pay

of Georgia:
The first point of interest was The "a

northern part of the county, about twelve
miles from Thomas on We expected to
find quito 6 curiosity, but were completely
amazed to find SO remarkable a freak o
mother nature as this spring. II is located
in the widest part of the mountains ex-
tending through the county, and there, in
The solitude of the wilderness, presents 6
most remarkable phenomenon. The di
mensions ofthe spring proper are about
T five feet in diameter, ard of an unknown
depth, for experimenters have repeatedly
sounded its~depth in vain, and no bottom
can be reached. The water boils up Will

surface. This gas is highly combustible

Hartz's Latest Trick, and
How 1t is Done.

One of the latest and Test tricks Of Har:z,
the illusionist, is the ''basket trick which
S thus described and explained:
a large wicker basket, about five feet
long and four feet deep is placed on the
stage, being supported by legs which ele-
vate it foot or more above the floor, thus
effcctually prcclud1ng the use of trap
doors. A younglady dressed in btack is
conducted to the basket, and blindfolded
with handkerchief borrowed frcm some
one in the audience. While the illusionist
is talking. she escapes from him and runs
behind the curtain, as if 10 cgadc TIE aw-
full fate awaiting her. He pursues and
brings her back; this fight is repeated
three or four times. Finally, he succeeds
in having her go into the basket. The
lid is then closed, and he takes sword
and thrusts 1t through the sides of the bas-
Ret. Screams cnsue, but he mercilessly
repeats the ael several times, though his
sword is dripping with blood. He liftsthc
cover, and hand is thrust upward, viii e

Swim ming.


We all know that breast swimming is Tx
style commonly adopted all over ,he
world. Beginners commence ON the
breast, and in nine instances out of ten,
they continue TO move through the water
on their breast all through their lives II
is in the water what walking. is on land.
To the beginner it has the Advantage OF
being the easiest TO learn, and to the adep,
1t has the nitractien offiaving -'llst" about
it. Long distances are mostly performed
in this style, as being moro sieaaly, and
consequently less fatiguing; so ihat hero
the breast frequently conquers its more
dashing rival, ihe side. Also, when swim
ming for pleasure. rather than for glory
we iustinctively take to the breast. The
chief rules are--I. Spread out your hands
(fngers closed) widely, so as 10 describe
as large n circle as you possibly can. i
you watch good breast swimmers. you vii
at fast te surprised 10 observe what broad
sweep they ,hus MAKE Tine same rtle.

cribc too large a circle; therefore, send on
your legs 10 their utmost length anC
breadth. 3. After you have described
this circle, in order to ccmplete the stroke
bring the heels together sharply and vigor
ously. Remember, il is this jerk and quicl
meeting of The heels which sends you for
ward. 1t is in this particular that Cur
especially exceils. so that lie can 'TToIje
himself five or Elk feet each s:roke =
long stroke could not BE made in any 9th
er way. The secret bf fLe matter is this
That after she sharp contact of the heels
your body instantly floats along, or rathc
cuts through the water those five feet with
out any other effort on your part. I'll,
stroke made with hands or arms really i
of small service, except &c maintain you
balance on the water. ''

The Thinble.

The name aE this little instrument is said
to, have been derived irGm 'thumbng,
being e., first tumble, and afterwards
tllimbis. 4 il Of Dutch Invention, and
was brough; to Eaglahd about the year
iGO5, hy J9ltn Lofting, who commenced
its manufacture at Islnston, near London,
and pursued i. with great profit and suc-
cess. Formerly iron and brass were usef ,
but latterly steel, silver and gold have ia
ken tlieir places. In the ordinary mann
f.ciure, thin plates Of metals are introdu-
ced into die and then punched into
shape In Paris, gold thimblcs afc' manu-
featured to large extent, Thin sheets OF
shcet-iron are cut into dies of about two
inches diameter, These being heated red
hot, are struck with punch into number
otholes, gradually increasing in depth, ia
give them the propersshaFe. She tarrsllc
isrlhcn tfimmed,. polished, and indented
around its outer surface with number of
little holes, by means Of email wheel. 1t
is then coverted into steel by the cementa-
lion process. tempered, secured, and
brought to a blue color. A thin sheet of
gold is then introduced .lio the interior.
