II. M. S. DIAMOND RoCK.-You glance
again, running down the coast of Martinique,
into a deep bay, ringed round with gay houses
empowered in mango and coc0anut, with the
Piton due Vauclain rising into the clouds be-
hind it. That is the Culdesac Royal, for years
the rendezvous and stronghold Of the French
fleets. From it Count de Grasse sailed out on
the fatal Sth of April; and there, beyond it,
opens an isolated rock, of the shape, but double
the size, of one of the great pyramids, which
was once the British sloopof-war Diamond
Rock. For, in the end of 1903, Sir Samuel Hood
saw that French ships passing to Fort Royal
harbor in Martinique escaped him by running
through the deep channel between Pointe du
Damante and this same rock which rises sheer
out of the water six hundred feet, and is about a
mile round, and only accessible at point to the
leeward, and even then when there is no surf
He who lands, it is said, has then to creep
through crannes and dangerous sleeps, round
to the windward side, where the eye is suddenly
relieved by Sloping grove of wild fig trees,
clinging by innumerable alr-roots TO the cracks
of the stone. So Hood, with that inspiration of
genius SO common then among sailors, laid his
seventy-four, the Centaur, close alongside the
Diamond; made hawser, with a traveller on
it, fast TO the ship and TO the top of the rock and
in January, 1904 got three long twenty-fourS
and two eighteens hauled up far above his
masthead by sailors who, as they chung like
clusters" appeured "lke mice hauling little
sausage. Scarcely could we hear the governor
on the top directing them with his trumpet; the
Centaur lying close under, like q cocoanut
shell, to which the hawsers are affixed" In this
strange fortress, Lieut.. James Wilkie Maurice
Qet his name be recOlected as one of England's
forgotten worthless was established, with 100
meu and boys, and ammunition, provisions and
water for four months; and the rock was borne
on the books of the admiralty as his majestys
ship Diamond Rock, and swept the seas with
her guns till the 1st of June, 1906, when shehad
TO surrender, for want of powder, to a French
squadron of two seventy-fours, frigate, cor
yette, a schooner and eleven gunboats, after
killing and wounding some seventy men on
the rock alone and destroying three gunboats
with loss to herself of two men killed and one
wounded. Remembering which story, who will
blame the traveller if he takes off his hat to his
maiesty's quondam corvette, as he sees for the
first time its pink and yellow sides shining in
the sun, above the sparkling seas over which it
domineered of old.-A Christmas IN the West
Indies. By Charles Kingsley.

A SHIP LOAD OF ELEPHANTS arrived few
days ago in New York, of whose voyage a
Times reporter learned the following particu-
lars: We received the elephants at Colombo
(Ceylon), and the beasts were got on board by
means of canvas sings, and ropes and pulleys
hung from the rigging and main-sail boom.
Eleven of them were all safely slowed between
the decks. Forty-fve natives were employed in
tlie'work of hosting and lowering them aboard
ship. This number was more than was needed
but labor is cheap in Ceylon, and thought
might as well have enough of them, while was
about it. Everybody said, "Smalley, you'll

newspaper correspondent in Colorado terri
tory relates how at Denver he came across a
large Single factory. This branch of industry
was run by woman and her children. Cast
away fruit cans would be gathered by the chill
dren, which the old woman would, by burning
the ends off and by running round file over
them, convert into shingles, live by twelve, and
they were sold at remunerative rates. AS the
Old woman has no opposition she is expected to
grow rich from the fruits of her labor.
A piece of "iron paper" thousand of which
| were required to make layer an inch thick,
was sentirom this country to the international
exhibition at London in 1851. But English
Workmanship has now attained far more re-
markable result, in the production of sheet of
iron so thin that it requires four thousand eight
| hundred such to form an inch in thickness. 1t
is the thinnest sheet iron ever rolled, and meas
ures ten inches in length, by five and a half in
width, ltweighs only twenty grains.

A NEW AND EXCELLENT SEoURTTY.-The first
mortgage bonds Of the Vermont division of the
Portland and 0gdensburg trunk line are advertised
in another part of this paper. The road has been
nearly graded ready for the ties by stock subscrp
tions the amount raised by the sale of bonds is TO
be devoted to laying the ties and iron, and TO equip
ment; these bonds constitute the only lien on the
roads. The local business will be sufficient to nav
running expenses and interest on the small bonded
debt The road will form part of one of the short
est and best lines from the lakes to the seaboard
and 1t will be completed next year. The excellence
of Portland harbor, the fact that Ogdensburgis the
true point for the contact of lake and rail ranspor-
tation, the enormous amount of business Offering,
and the shortness and directness of this line point
to II as one Of the most promising enterprises now
on foot In New England Already the eastern
division OF the road has crossed the New Hamp-
shire line, and is entering the White Mountains
The multiplication Of lines to the west only serves
to stimulate business, and in any case line which
offers so many advantages as this will be certain

bonds. And when we add that the Messrs Fair.

over many Others, and hence warmly recommend Il.

CALIFORNIA WoNDERs.-Near the confines
OF FRESNO, Tulare and Inyo counties, in the head
waters of the Keweah, there exists remarka-
Die piece of country. The Indians say is is the
abiding place of the Evil Spirit. The country
is rugged and rocky-mOuntains, with deep
valleys and PERCEPTIONS cliffs. Snakes and rep
tiles of every description abound in untold num-
bers, and, taken in all, it is a wild and most I'M
inviting region. But aside from this a most
curious phenomena exists. The ground trem-
Dies and quakes almost continuously, and the

quently deep discharges are heard, muffled and
dull, like the distant sound of heavy artillery.
AT night the sounds seem to be more abundant
than in the daytime. No Indian can be induced
TO venture near the locality, regarding il with
supershtious horror. No theory is advanced by
any one to account for the strange phenomena
mentioned. We also learn from William Fam
onvllle that above the head of Crane valley, in
this country .another place similar to the one
mentioned exists. Persons who have visited the
last place named describe the sound mentioned
as like muftied thunder.-Sdn Francisco BuUe-

Bismarck is an immensely large man. When
he goes through one of the doors of the cham
Der he fills the whole space, and must stoop be-
side. He is tall, straight and well proportioped.
HIS broad shoulders and full breast bespeak an
immense force. He is not fat (where a German
ought to be fat, but his cheeks are so fat as to
almost close his eyes, though since the war he
seems TO have grown little thinner. He has a
large head, which is bald on the top 1.-THE comic
papers invariably represent him with three
hairs), and on the sides has little short half
gray hair, which is in marked contrast with his
full white moustache. His nose is rather short,
and his eyes imbedded under a heavy brow
His face is almost as white as his moustache
and is full of vigorous expression.
When he sits he commonly leans forward, as
If just ready to get up, and those portraits of
him appear most natural which represent him in
this position. His only joint would seem to be
in his loins; for his back and neck are always
kept straight. He is commonly in uniform, and
his coat shines all over with bright buttons and
brilliant badges. He is man that any one
would pick out of crowd as leading charac-
ter. When he enters the chamber every eve is
turned 10 him, and many show him special
marks Of honor; so that his first movements on
entering are to politely return these signs of re-
spect, both to the members of the reichstag and
10 visitors. For, as often as he has already ap-
peared in the reichstag, the general curiosity to
see him has never abated so that everybody
must look when Bismarck comes. He always
sits at the minister's desk, and seems TO pay lit
tie attention to the debate, though he is always
ready to speak. His speeches are generally short,
and always go direct to the point One need
never wait long to know what he is going to
talk about, or what view he is going to take on
the matter. His speeches sparkle with strong,
bold points, and he is always interesting. His
voice is rather high and broken, and is not very
strong. He half mumbles his words, and from
his fast speaking, is often a little ndistinct. He
gesticulates but little, and swings his body
slightly backward and forward while speaking.

pied some of the most eligible positions, and
among the workmen and settlers there was
very undesirable sprinkling of thieves and
gamblers. The managers Of the road objected
to a population of this kind on their lands
They could not afford to have honest and indus
trious settlers driven away by these
scoundrels. Accordingly we hear that
an attorney and an agent of the cor
poration have been making trip along
the line Of the road, driving from it the hordes
of gamblers aud thieves who have infested that
region. Their efforts, they report have been
very successful. The obnoxious intruders.have
been forced to sign an agreement that they will
not proceed with their business on the line of the
road. Unless Major Bracket, the agent who
has obtained this paper, has an eccentric fancy
for gamblers autographs, we should suppose
the time spent in procuring it was wasted, but
perhaps it has value which we do not appre-
cate. 1t is added that all the gamblers and
dramsellers have, in consequence of Major
Brackets operations, left the stations on the
Northern Pacific road, and the towns are as
quiet and orderly as any in Minnesota.
A new musical instrument of great interest
said to have been invented in Cincinnati. 1t
somewhat resembles the piano in appearance
and the manner in which it is played, but DIFF
fers from it in having steel hooks of peculiar
construction instead of strings, The idea of an
instrument of this kind has, it is said, long
been entertained by musicians, and much time
and money have been expended in experiments
with tuning forks of different forms, but practi-
cal difficulties have been found TO defeat all pre-
vious efforts in this direction. The peculiar
form given to these hooks Overcomes these OBJ
stacles, and the result, if we may trust the Gin
cinnati papers, is an instrument of great brill
liancy and purity of tone, having the effect of
a "music-box fifty times enlarged" A range
of ten octaves can be given as easily as seven;
its volume can be indefinitely increased by en-
larging the steel hOoks as there is no tension
it cannot get out of tune, and its simplicity, du-
rabiity, purity of tone and cheapness of con-
struction, suggest the prediction that the music
of the future will be everywhere produced by
this instrument.
