The claimant to the Tichborne estate,
who now languishes in Newgate on
Charge of perjury, has addressed letter
to the London Ne,cs appealing to the
public for pecuniary assistance to enable
him to meet the prosecution which is
now pending with respectable defence.
He declares himself penniless, eolemnly
affirms that he is Sir Roger Tichborne,
maintains that he is shamefully perse-
cuted, and expresses grent hope that the
British people will see that justice is
done him by securing him fair trial.
A curious effect was produced in the
Penasquitos Valley, CAL. by the recent
earthquake. The springs were opened
to such an extent as to increase the flow
of water more than four-fold. A reser-
voir, which it took three and-a-half to
four days to fill, was filled in twenty
four hours. The earthquake of fifteen
years ego partially closed the same
springs.
The wealthy citizens of the Club"
have a trick of changing their residences

The plan ia to move out of the city into
some OF the small suburban towns, where
taxation is low, and every year the prac-
tioe is becoming more fashionable.

You will see by the place from which write

the midst of Apaches and Mexican banditti.
Our regiment is away from railroads and tele-
graphs, in a country where very ancient customs
are still in vogue; where the mail is carried by
post riders and the people ride on buck boards.
There can be no doubt of the mineral wealth Of
this territory. feel sure that it will excel Cali
fornia and Nevada in richness, when the Indian
question is settled and Col. Scott's railroad is
completed.
There are in this region many relics of an
ancient occupation of this part of the country
by people advanced in civilization. There are
remains of huge Cline kilns;" and the remains
of gigantic acequias or aqueduets for irrigating
purposes tell what large proportions business
enterprise assumed. In the time of the Monte
zumas, and long before their time, the mineral
and agricultural resources of this region must
have engaged the industry of large popula-
ton. What changed that old condition and
brought the country TO desolation2 The explo-
ration of Arizona, and the study of its antiqui-
ties, It's resources, and its prospects, will not fail
to interest the explorers.

EXPERIMENTS IN MEDICAL "SCIENCE AN
eloquent professor in one of the Cincinnati med
icai colleges, while delivering his regular lecture
to the class few days ago, paused, as orators
are wont to, to take a drink Of water IRON glass
standing on the table before him Once when
the Rev. Col. Granville Moody was offered A
glass Of water in the midst Of his discourse, he
refused II with the remark that he never saw a
windmill that did not run by water. But our
medical professor is not one Of those orators who
work the glass of water in order to gain time to
muster an idea. On the contrary, the pressure
OF ideas on the organs of delivery was such that
ne drank heartily and uncritically. A couple
o. swallows had got down before he discovered
that the taste was intensely bitter.
Instantly IT flashed across his mind that the
glass mad been used by professor who had pre-.
ceded him, in experiments TO demonstrate In

order, bad left the glass standing on the table.

1t is always in order to recommend care in
selecting candidates for the legislature. In
most of the districts in this state a nomination
is equivalent to an election. The force of party
discipline and party loyalty will carry into office
any nominee not gravely obj ctionable and not
unfrequently one who is. The caucus system at
its best is imperfect and yields sometimes but
Indifferent results, and the ease and certainty
with which caucus can usually be controlled
by few men who act in concert, with a definite
object in view, makes the duty more imperative
upon citizens who have no personal interests to
serve, to be vigilant in watching the proceedings
of these bodies and firm in refusing TO counte-
nance any scheme to put forward candidates for
other reasons than their fitness for the place.

A GREAT COLONY OF WILD BEEs-In a
chamber of lofty cliff Of the Cumberland table
land, looking down upon the head waters of
Wolf river IN this county (Fentress, Tenn.),
wild bees have made their home. Thirty feet
below lis jutting edge, and nearly a hundred
above the ragged masses of rock piled at its
base, the entrance to their cavern hive is mac
cessible without more labor and expense than
are within the enterprise of the bee hunters of
this region Preserved by this inaccessibilty,
the little creatures have for many wears perpet-
uated their generations in untold numbers and
stored their treasured sweets in unmeaSured
quantities. Vast those stores must be, Tor on
any fair day the bees throng from the door of
their hive, about six inches in diameter, in solid
column, casting black shadow upon the lace
of the cliff as thick as four or Eve hives swarm
ing at once; and old Mr. Pultz-the sold"
in his case meaning eighty-three years,
and whom | found carrying in a great
back log-told me that he had known
the colony since before the war OF 1912,
and that it was apparently as strong when
discovered as now, and in all these years it is
reasonable to presume that their stores have
been Increasing. Other similar colonies have
been found from time to time, but their rocky

can judge, for among the states usually counted
as sure for Greeley in these tables are Indiana,
New York and Connecticut, and among the
doubtful, Ohio, New Hampshire, and even
Pennsylvania. There is no objection of course
to our Greeley friends amusing themselves in
this way, since they seem to like it and it will de-
ceive no one. The democratic national commit
tee are in the same business, cheerfully announc-
ing to the people of the United States that only
sixty-nine electoral votes are needed to elect
Greeley. The best authorities have heretofore
fixed the number needed to elect president at
1874 But this address is issued in New York,
where they have so much experience in false
counting at elections that, without considering
the different circumstances, they hope 10 count
in Mr., Greeley if they can have sixty-nine gen.
uine votes to start with. That is not much to
ask, but we are not ready to eoncede even so

he was pleased. His principal enjoyment seems
10 consist in having his mother get through with
her work and sit down by his side.
He has swing in the room in which he spends
a good part of the time swinging Sometimes,
whea his mother steps out, he will lock the
door so that she can't get back again, which
shows that he has some wit about him, or trick
erv, at least. He is always very wakeful lat
night, and rouses his mother out of bed many
fines night. She says she has lived thus
without good nights rest for thirty years,
with the exception of Saturday and Sunday
nights. Every Saturday night he Gains down
like a lamb, and keeps that night and all the

venture to kiss his mother on that day. Evi-

A SINGULAR BEING IN CoNNEcTIcUT.-A
letter from Killingly, Conn, to the Hartford
Times, narrates the following:
"On drive with some friends over Ponlret
Hills the other day we called on a singular
character-a man thirty years old, who is deaf,
dumb and blind He was born deaf and blind
Whether he would have been dumb or not If he
had been blessed with the sense of hearing il is
impossible TO tell, but his glimmerings of intel
lect are evidently rather feeble Where all tbe
avenues OF communication but the sense of
touch are closed, ii intellect exists it will mani.

man is well developed physically; is Of ordinary

This man has never eaten anything but milk:
has never tasted water, nor particle Of any
food but milk Thirty years on clear milk aud
with a neck like an OK, AMI apparently mus.

that milk is for babes and calves only, and not
for strong menP This man had full set of
strong, double teeth clear round, and every one
of them had to be pulled out, as he tore his
clothes 10 pieces with them. As he didn't need
them TO chew his milk with, he probably
thought he must make some use of them, as
they were evidently made for something, and his
clothes furnished excellent materials on which
TO exercise them.
Another popularity Of this strange being is
that through all his life he has chcwed rag.

rag in his mouth as soon as he has taken his
