hottest days of the dreadful summer Of
India, the old man leaves the stony seat

he stands up 70 his neck in water foc

assertion that the highest Eng.

the Hindoos of that community. Il

Extraordinary Salt Denosit

At about twenty miles from Berlin is
situated the village OF Sperenberg, noted
for the deepest we'll that has ever been
sunk. Owing to the presence of gypsum
in the locality, which is at moderate
distance from tho capital, it occurred
to the Government authorities in
charge of tbs mines to obtain a supply
of rock salt. With this end in view.
the sinking of a SHIFT or we'll 16 feet in
diameter was commenced some five
years ago, and at O depth of $50 feet the
salt vac reached. The boring was con.
tinued to a further depth of $50 feet. the
diameter of this bore being reduced to
about ~ inches. The operations were
subsequently prosecuted by the aid of
steam until depth Of 4, ,i04 feet was
attained. At this point the boring was
discontinued, the borer or bit beng
still in the salt deposit, which thus ex.
hibits the enormous thickness Of 3.9O7
feet. The boring would have been
continued in order to discover whp,
description, of deposit lny below tho
salt, but for the mechanical difficulties
connected with tho further prosecution,

Tobacco and Cigars.

The Internal Revenue Bureau have
issued additional regulations relative to
dealers in, and manufacturers of, tobac.
co and cigars. They prescribe the man.
ner of disposing of unstamped cigars,
SC. / These regulations contain clause
concerning persons who travel on rail
70 I'd cars for the purpose of selling to-
bacco and cigars. They will hereafter
be held to be dealers in tobacco instead
Of peddlers, and will be allowed to re-
tail from properly stamped packages
under special tax receipt as dealers,
provided such sales are made exclu-
siveiy in the car known as the smoking
car. The tax receipt must state
the route over which he proposes
to travel. and the number
of the car the use of which is allowed
him for the purpose. The same rule
will apply to passenger steamboats, and
other vessels navigating inland waters.
This rule super.edes the one recently
adopted, which confirmed the dealer ia
a stand. The regulations state further,
that the buleau having made die for
the cancellation of packages of fine-cut
tobacco, when put mp in pails. kegs,
barrels, ETC., the die already issued be-
ing found unsuiteG for the cancella.
tion of such stamps and packages,
each manufacturer of this description
of tobacco will be furnished with one
die, and Collectors are requested to
send to this Office their orders for the
number of dies needed by them.

Explosive Cigars.

The sale of explosive cigars has,
says the Figaro, begun again in the
streets of Paris in spite of alllthe pre-
cautions taken by the police to prevent
these dangerous articles from being
offered to the public. The cigars in
question appear genuine TO the pur-
chaser, but contain minute squib or
cracker, which, when the cigar has
been consumed to q certain point, ex-
plodes, the cigar itself flying to some
distance from the mouth of the smoker,
Not only are these cigars cap
able of severely wounding those
who smoke them, but they
often lead to inconvenient and deplor-
| able results. Not long ago a gentleman
happening to have some in his pocket,
and believing them to be ordinary ci.
gars, offered one to his uncle, whose
property he expected to inherit, and
who wore act of artificial teeth. His
horror may be imagined when he saw
what appeared to be the entire jaw OF
his respected relative briskly expelled
from his mouth and fasten on to the
features of Il high official person, who
was heard to shrek ont indignantly,

=. Starting. back from old Dutchman's
time, which is about the first trot I
ever saw, We come down with a record
of our national sport to the first of
this year, up to which time we show
six horses that have beaten 2:2O, thirty
three that have beaten 2:25, and no less
than 260 horses that have beaten or
tied 2:50, end worth all the way from
81. 600 to 800, 900 each. Certainly the
trotting- -borse interest has risen to be
a power. What would Bryant, who
drove old Lady Suffolk in 2:26 twenty
six years ago, think of this record if he
could see it now, and the little Queen
of the Turf, Goldsmith Maid, hum
around in 2'16i7 Well, as every dog
has his day, so it seems that every
horse must have his. Lady Suffolk.
Flora Temple, George M. Patchen, Dex-
ter and Lady Tholne have each had
their day, to be succeeded by Gold
smith Maid. and it may be by Ameri-
can Girl, and most certainly by the
California wonder Gov. Stanford's
horse Occident. This horse, new to
the turf, is a natural trotter, and has
certainly shown some wonderful time
in private. trials-reports say as
low as 1:031 to the half.
mile-and if he behaves as we'll in q
public trot as he does in his private
trials, he will reduce the record to 2:l2
or 2:15. Don't mistake what I say-he
will do it. So look out for the great
American trotter from the Pacific slope!
And from general observation I think
and venture to say that if James L. Eoff
and Occident appear on the track in
good health and orderin September and
October next, the great trotting race of
this century will be seen, and more
money will change hands than on any
race ever trotted in America. If Gold
smith Maid beats him, Callfornians will
have to work to get back the $3.50, 900
that they will put up on their wonder.

to State Agricultural Society, and
Messrs. John NJ. Duncan, President,
and b: r. Covey, Vice President of the

FATAL EXPOSURE TO DANGER.
The Torrtblo Drowning Accident 4
Portland,

Ino Tofflolc Dr0Wntns Accident 1T
Friday afternoon, during the height
of the gale, a party of gentlemen and
q party of ladies took hacks and rode
out to Portland head to enjoy the
grandeur of the scene which is present
ed at that place during gale. Both
parties arrived at about the same time,
and alighting, proceeded to the rocks
to get a better view of the angry
waves as they roared and broke upon
the ledges.
The hackmen, who were acquaint-
ances, Augustas Williams and Free
man Bean, went together with the
party, and while the gentlemen and
ladies were standing in two groups on
the top of the rocks the hackmen pass
ed around a point down on the lower
shelf where the spray broke furiously.
Both were dressed in long rubber coats,
boots and cape caps, and they sat there
q few minutes allowing the spray to
dash over them and laughing to see the
water run away.
Some of the party attempted to warn
them of their danger, but the force of
the wind prevented them from hearing
what was sald. Soon great roller
came in and rose over. the rock, lifting
the men up and carrying them off into
the awful tumult of waters. The peo-
pie on the rock were paralyzed with
fear. It was terrible sight, and they
knew that ten thousand mer could not
have stayed these terrible elements.
One gentleman from Cape Cottage, who
CHANGED to be present, threw off his
coat and ran to little cove close by
hoping that the men might be swept in
there and possible saved. But he ar.
rived just in time to see them disap-
pear. 80.
The party on, the rock saw the men
swept away and brought back by the
wave and dashed against the rocks.
As one OF them was borne toward the
shore, the under tow uncovered rock
little distance from the base of the
cliff. He attempted to grasp it, but
ne was powerless against the force of
the waves. He seemed to be dashed
against the ledge and hurled back into
the seethjng waters and almost before
one could tell the story both men had |
disappeared. Horror stricken and al
most overbome with the awfulness of !
the scene, the party returned to their
carriages.
Some drivers were procured at Cape |
Cottage, and hey came back to the |
city with the sad news. Augustus
Williams was the owner of his hack. I

The former was married man and
lived on Merrill street. He had no
children. Bean was single man,
about rs years of age. The accident
occurred at just fifteen minutes past

ter, was arrested in Washington On
Saturday, on several charges, one of
them being that he knew something
OF the Nathan murder, and was taken to
New York tonight. Chief of Police
richards, after his arrest, charged him
with being Forester. The prisoner
repiied that it was no use now denying
the fact, since they had the points 80
tine on him. He had been hunted
down like dog, and he was tired of it.
as every time he walked the streets
he expected to have the hand of a
police officer placed on his shoulder.
He was the Billy Forester wanted. but
had not murdered Mr.. Nathan, though
he was accused of it. He would have
given himself up long ago were it not
for the fact that he had escaped from
prison in Joliet, ILL.,, twice, aud once
in the State OF Michigan. After the
examination he (the prisoner) vas
placed in a. cell at the headauarters.
and the police authorities of New York
notified. Forester has just returned
from q trip south. He states that
eleven months ago he went to New
York city, whore he stayed five months,
afterward leaving for Petersburg, Va,
from which place he went to Norfolk,
thence south. He was born in Scot
land, and part of his life has been
spent at sea before the mast. In an in.
terview with Forester the following
was elected:
