A Ring as a Detective.


In August last young lady, resident of
San Francisco, died. During the following
October lock of the deceased's hair, to-
gether With two rings, were placed Ii a re-
gistere2 letter and dispatched toward the
East. During the mail robbery on the
twenty-seeond of that month, the letter in
question was opened. and one of the rings
appropriated. When Postal Agent Barstow
took possession of the debris in the mail
car, he found the lock Of hair. one ring, and
several pieces of the letter. After consider
able trouble, he managed to decipher the
name of the party forwarding the letter,
and that of the party for whom it was in
tended. The writer of the letter, lady,
furnished him with minute description of
the missing ring; mentioning that its prin-
cipal feature consisted of heart crossed
by two elasped hands. This clue was fur
nished to the detectives, and through its
aid they captured one of the leading spirits
of the robbery. But for the ring, which he
had devoted to the adornment of his own
clumsy hand, he might have escaped I'M
scatked. He has taken up his abode at the
Nevada State prison, and the ring was re-
turned to its owner one day last month.

Judge Bowling and an English Traveller.

Among Justice Dowling's fellow passen-
gers in the Queen was an English traveller,
who had taken delight in sea bathing at
Bathgate. He privately told Justice Dow
ling one day after dinner that the only dis
comfort of crossing the Atlantic was the
deprivation of salt water baths.
"Why," said his honor, Il have my salt
water bath every morning"
'Tell me how You do it,"
"Have the waiter to call you at four
o'clock tomorrow morning" replied the
Justice. "Come on deck in your night shirt
and slippers. and the sailors viii pump salt
water all over you"
Thanks, my dear Judge"
Forthwith Justice Downing sought the
mate and 'pu5 up job" on the English
man. He sent a dozen bottles of cham
payne to the watch, and extracted prom
Use from each and every man that when the
EngEshman appeared in the morning he
should be deluged with water from the fore
and aft force pumpts. To each of these
pumps was attached one hundred feet of
leather hose and a three-inch brass nozzle
at precisely four o'clock OH the next
morning the English traveller was called to
take his salt water bath He made his ap-
pearance, dressed in a long rufied linen
night shirt, and on his feet were a pair of
finely worked pump-soled slippers. He
stationed himself near the forecastle, and
Invested himself Of his light apparel. Then
he shouted:
go ahead, Mr.. Mate"
$50 ahead" echoed the mate, and the
sailors played upon the bather.
At breakfast a seat was vacant. At
lunch also seat was vacant, but at dinner
the Engiishman reappeared, and found a
chair as far as possible from Justice Dow

The manufacture of sassafras oil has been
conducted for the past two years in Rich
mond, Virginia, on an extensive scale, by a
firm OF colored persons. And since the
establishment of this factory, similar estab-
hshments have been started along the rail
roads at various points throughout Virginia.
AT the factory in Richmond the sassafras
root is purchased at the rate of thirty cents
per 100 pounds, and the collectors, it is
stated, have, in some instances made two
dollars day by the sale of the raw materials
to the establishment The machinery uses
up 10000 pounds of the sassafras root a
week, or 10000 pounds day. the still only
working four days in the week. The oil
manufactured amounts to two per cent of
the stock used, 800 pounds of nnreetifed
oil being made from 10000 pounds of the
root. The quantity is further reduced by
rectitcation and cleansing from sediment
and impurity. gallon of fine oil weighs
ten pounds, and forty gallons are produced
every week. Ii is largely used for seeming
toilet soap and for havoring tobacco.
