SHOCKING, IF TRUE.-The World is
telling some terrible stories of the wick
edness at Washington, in which the pro-
fessional women of the lobby and their
friends In Congress are the .fgurdnteS
Columns of details are given, but the fol-
lowing will suffice to show what loath-
some picture the writer has been paint
ing:
Among the lobby women in Washing
ton last winter, was the daughter of q
present United States Senator, whose
father years ago refused to let her marry
the man of her choice. She eloped with
him; he deceived her by mock mar
riage, he having two other wives, 30
called, living; he took all her jewels, and
even most Of her clothing, and aban-
doned her. She went to the bad head
long, refused all overtures to return
home, and the futher and daughter used
to pass one another in the Capitol year
ago-she wanton and he Senator
and never speak. Nor did either ever
betray the event to any one. He called
her dead; she consented to be dead even
to him.
Another Senator'S wife, who is an in
valid, cannot be unaware. for no one else
ls, that her husband has stocked no less
than six Of his mistresses on the civil
service as clerks, and that he adds to the
number every session.
Another Senator, Southwest carpet
Dagger, folsted his mistress on the Trea-
| sury Department last year, and was in.
| fiuential enough to have her salary con-
tinued while he sent her on to New York
to undergo an abortion. She died. The
| Senator himself drew the arrears of pay
ostensibly for the mother of the muir
dered woman, who has yet TO see the first
cent of it.
Another honorable, this time of tho
House, was driven out of leading hotel
six years ago for notorious conduct with
married woman, and that with the con-
sent of the husband. That husband is
now clerk Of that Congressman com.
mlttee, his wife is the Congressman's
mistress. and her son is page on the
floor of the House, and waits on his mu-
tnal fathers every day.

1t has often been asked whether it
would bo possible for u man to swim in
oil. The question was practically solved

In an oil mnuufactory Mt Nice, who fell
into tank OF olive oil nine feet deep.
He was an expert swimmer, but lie went
to the bottom like u plummet, and was
only saved from drowning by the timely
aid Of comrade. Oil is too light to
swim in; it is not sufficiently buoyant,
and does not offer the resistance neces-
sary to keep man afioat. On the other
hand, it is worth knowing that if bath
In oil offers dangers to the swimmer,
there are occasions on which it may be
OF valuable use, for it is the best of nil
remedies for serious burns. A German
ballet-girl, whose dress had caught fire,
and who had been horribly burned in
consequences, was put into tub full OF
oil, by the chief physician OF the Leipsic
hospital. She was suffering atrocious
agonies; but the oil caused her pains to
cease ALMOST Immediately. She remained
iu the bath nine days and nights, the oil
being renewed five times during that Pc
riod. and her burns were then so fal
healed that she could he taken ont with.

she had completely recovered. This is
an admirable form of cure, because il
snppresses the iltolerable tortures which
do more to kill the victims by fire than
the actual gravity of the wounds.

WHERE THE Sun DOES Nor SET. The
following graphic passage is from the de-
scription of a scene witnessed by MIR.
Campbell and his party, in the North of
Norway, from cliff 900 feet above the
sea: The ocean stretched away in silent
vastness ut our feet; the sound of its
waves scarcely reached our airy look out !;
away in the North, the huge old sun
swung low along the horizon. like the
slow beat of the pendulum in the tall
clock oil oni grand fathers parlor corner
We all stood silent, looking ut our
watches. When both hands came to-
gether at IL, midnight. the full round
orb hung triumphantly above the wave
bridge of gold running due North
spanned the water between us and him.
There he shone i'll silent majesty, which
knew no setting. We inveluntariIy took
off our hats; no word was said. Com
bine, if you can, the most brilliant sun
rise and SUNSET you ever saw, and it's
beauties will pale before the gorgeous
coloring which now lit up ocean, heaven
and mountain. In half M hour the sun
had swung up perceptibly on his beat,
the colors changed to those of morning,
q fresh breeze rippled over the food, one
songster after another piped up in the
grove behind us-we had slid into
another day.

A New Ell Dorado.

". y. Correspondent Cincinnati Commercial.
The current issue of the Army and
Nary journal contains glowing account,
furnished by an army officer, Of certain
recently discovered silver mines in the
extreme southwestern part Of New Mexi-
co, about fifteen miles from the Arizona
line-claims in which 1--WE are told) have
been secured by u large number OF army
officers, who are very sanguine Of results.
These mines are at the northern end OF
the Pyramid Mountains, and you can tell
when you are approaching them by look
ing out for IN immense ledge Of rock.
Which projects like a huge stone wall, and
runs clear over u hill which is nine hun
drcl feet in height" "At the mines
themselves" says this army officer, you
are surrounded by group Of hills, over
nearlyall of which are built immense irreg-
ular stone walls, varying from one to fifty
feet in height, with the same irregularity
in thickness" This seems to me very
much like IN account Of the we'll
known NlOQui Indian towns OF New
Mexico, which were described by
Professor NGwbcrry twelve years
ago, and have since been visited by
n number of explorers. When q piece of
of this immense projecting ledge Of rock
was broken of by party, not long since,
they were surprised ut what they found.
Upon "asSaying the quartz, the poorest
specimens show yield Of twenty dollars
otsilver to the ton of ore, while the rich
est turned out four thousand dollars. The
entire lot show an average Of four hun.
dred dollars. This immense yield aston
ishCd Them" as we are not astOnished to
learn. The army officers also saw many
lodges which appeared to be immense
veins of quartz, that have been forced up
through the earth to the surface, and, rs
the surface has gradually washed away,
these have been left standing. Upon
breaking it open it presents u
beautiful combination Of colors and
metal Most Of it is imprcgnatcd
with copper, and galena can be seen
glistcning all through, while slight traces
of iron can be readily distinguished, and
the silver dark gray or blue spots COM
plete the variety. The sides Of the hills
and the ravines are complete network
of similar veins running in all directions,
and new claims are being discovered
nearly every day on the plains at the base
Of the hill. The area covered by these
mines is about six square miles, and OF
course everything that shows itself above
ground has been taken possession OF. 1t
is TO be hoped that these mines will turn
ont to be us rich in silver as the account
of the army officer. The region of New
Mexico which he describes is sufficiently
dcsOlatc and forlorn to require silver
mines for its settlement.

MORE INDIAN HOME TMRUsTs.-Thc
speech of the Indian Red Cloud to New
Workers last week was marked by the
same simplicity of style and pointed SEN
fences that he INDUCED at Washington,
He asked his hearers to help the Indian in
his present trouble, and protect him from
the bad white men. He was sarcastic on
Spotted Tail, who he charged would "say
one thing one day and be bought Tor fish
the next" The orator, Red Dog, follow
cd with short address, in which he
made the pithy remark that once he was
thin and spare, but now he is large and fat,
because so many liars have been sent out
to his country by the Great Father that
he is stuffed full. of lies" Calling attention
to his young men, he added: Look ut
them and see if you can see any that Hre
rich; they are all poor, because they are
honest" These great truths, Of course,
elected cheap applause.

is tale Of incident among the Indians.
Prof. Draper writes of certain scientific

plies TO Mr. Weeds article last month, in

"Mcmeranda," and the Nebul9 are all in
terestinr. Twain's account OF how he
edited an agricultural paper is roaring
farce
acknowledgement opens with
one of Justin McCarthys essays, entitled
"The Petlco0t in the Politics Of Eng

cal influence welded by women in that
country, and also that it has been largely
on the aristocratic side and against that Of

save us. The article on Lake Superior

Is full of information, and enlarges our

veloping religion. Another contribution
which is peculiarly instructive is entitled

lively and entertaining. The other arti-
Cles are up to the average.
