DIR. CURTIS, of Cincinnati, referring Ia
a recent case of death from the use oi
chloroform, gives it as his opinion that
many surgeons are too hasty in putting
persons under the anesthetic influence.
He himself gives chloroform very slowly
through silk handkerchief. The inha-
lation of cloroform is only a speedy meth
cd Of making a person "dead drunk
and DIR. Curtis soon saw that if the ane-
thetic state were brought on gradually,
as intoxication generally is, and stopped
as soon as sense and muscular motion are
by taking alcoholic liquors, it produced
no worse effect upon the system. In
both cases the patient often vomits, both
when taking the narcotic and when get
ting rid of it; and in both, insensiblity TO
the severest operations may be produced.
All the danger Of one over the other is
that, in the use OF the chloroform, the OPP
orators injudiciously apply the agent too
fast, and do not stop when the patient
has enough. By taking proper care in
regard to these things, DR.. Curtis says,
that operations may safely be performed
on very small children and very old per-
sons on those whose lungs or hearts are
diseased, or who are much reduced by
chronic ailments of various kinds.

How "MARBLEs ARE MADE.-The
chief place of the manufacture Of "mar-
bles," those little round pieces of stone
which contribute so largely to the enjoy
ment of " Young America" is at Ober-
stein, on the Nahe, in Germany, where
there are large agate mills and quarries,
the refuse Of which is carefully turned to
good paying account by being made into
the small balls employed by experts to
knuckle with, which are mostly sent to
the American market. The substance
used in Saxony is a hard, calcareous
stone, which is first broken into blocks,
nearly square, by blows with n hammer.
These are thrown by the one hundred or
two hundred into a small mill, which is
formed of a fiat, stationary slab of stone,
with a number of concentric grooves up
on its face. A block ofoak, or other hard
wood of the same diametric size, is placed
over the small stones and partly resting
upon them. This block or log is kept
revolving while water flows upon the
stone slab. In about fifteen minutes the
stones are turned to spheres, and then, be-
ing henceforth called marbles" One
establishment containing only three of
these rude mills, will turn out fully sixty
thousand marbles" in each week. Ag-
ates are made into "marbles" at Ober-
steia, by first chipping the pieces nearly
round with hammer, handled by a
skillful workman, and then wearing down
the edges upon the surface of large
grindstone.

DRAKE, THE PIRATE. AND
QUEEN ELIZABETH

Drake, when he returned to London
second time, was received with undimin-
ished favor. He was continually closeted
with the Queen, or was seen walking
with her in her garden or in public. She
gave him second present of fl0, 900.
The Pelican was brought round to the
! Thames, and drawn upon shore at Dept
! ford to be preserved rs remembrance
of the voyage. A banquet was held on
board, Mt which Elizabeth was present,
and the occasion was used to give Drake
the honor of knighthood. Philip sent
orders to Mendoza to make positive
demand for restitution. Twice he re-
questod an audience, and twice he was
refused. He made no third application,
and waited for his letters of recall. E!;z-
abeth, between her opposing counselors,
drew her own profit from their differences.
Burghley and Sussex recommended that
the treasure should remain untouched in
the tower Walsingham, that 1t should
be given to the Prince of Orange and the
! ANHtNhptS , WIN ASViNtotti ANU 'iiO OAhoi
adventures thought that in justice it
ought to be divided among themselves,
and made proposals to Mendoza to share
the spoil with him if he would cousent
to some private arrangement. Mendoza
haughtily answered that neither that nor
any such overture would tempt him a
hairs bredth from his duty to his Prince;
he would himself give twice the sum they
offered to chastise such n bandit as Drake.
With the opinions thus divided, tho
Queen concluded on keeping the bulk Of
the prize to herself. She gave the adven.
! turers 10 per cent. on their shares. Tho
rest she reserved. The crew of the Ieii-
can, besides Eizabeth's bounty to them,
were allowed perquisites out of the sec
ondary spoil, and London was astonished
Mt the splendor in which these heroes OF
the hour lounged at st. Paul's and West
minister. Drake, feeling kccnly the CEN
sures which were flung or him by men
whose opinion he valued, attempted to
propitiate opposition by lavish presents.
To the Queen he gave diamond cross,
with n crown set with enormous emeralds.
To Lord Chancellor BROMLEY he gave
eS00 worth of wrought plate, and almost
as much to other members OF the Coun-
ell. To Burghlcy he offered ten bars Of
curiously chased gold and silver inter
twined. The Queen wore her crown on
New Years day. Sir Thomas Bromley
and most of the rest were contented TO
decorate their sideboards Mt the expense
of the Catholic King. But Burghley and
Sussex put aside the spendid temptations.
Burghley said he could not see how in
conscience he could receive presents from
man who bad nothing but what he had
made by piracy, and Drake had to con-
tent himself with wealth, fame and tho
favor of his sovereign, and the approba-
ton of mt least one good man in Walsing
ham. FrondeS History o( England,

A SUIT for breach of contract, of a
rather novel character, is now pending in
one of the Vermont courts. In effect, n
gentle maiden sues a man for promising
20 buy her and then refusing to fulfill
his contract. IL seems that the lady had
farm which the man wanted TO pur-
chase. She offered the property and her
self for $50 900, and refused to sell sepa-
rately. He accepted the terms, pald the
money, obtained the title-decds Of the
land, and was so well satiGed with his
bargain that he insisted on her keeping
the rest Of the purchase herself. She did
not appreciate his magnanimity, and in
sisted on his marrying her. lie declined
and now she has sued him for breach
Of contract.

WHAT WAS HE?-A jolly young fell
low named Corcoran, when he arrived in
this country, some years since, pro-
pounded puzzle TO gruf old clerk in
the Now York City Hall, which is be-
lieved to have shortened that officials
days. Corcoran went up to the office for
his " first papers" The deputy was a
serious old chap, who without looking up
proceeded to put the following interroga-
tories
"Whats your name ?" he demanded.
John Corcoran."
" Your age"
"Twenty. ty.one."

tell you, and maybe you can make it out.
My father was Irish, my mother English,
and | was born on Dutch brig, under
the French flag, in Flemish waters. Now

The old clerk looked up aghast, showed
his spectacles on his brow, and slowly
made answer:
" Young man, your nativity, and that
of our Savior, are the only ones which
ever puzzled me-"

THE large clock at the English Parlia-
ment lIouse is the largest one in the
world. The four dials Of this clock are
22 feet in diameter. Every half minute
the hand moves nearly inches. Tho
clock will go 81 days, and it only strikes
for II, thus indicating any neglect in
winding it up. The mere winding of the
striking mechanism takes two hours.
The pendulum is Is leet long the wheels
are of cast iron the hour bell is 8 feet
high and 8 feet in diameter, weighing
nearly Is tons, and the hammer alone
weighs more than 400 pounds. This
clock strikes the quarter hours, and by
its strokes the shorthand reportes in the
Parliament chamber regulate their Ia
bors. At every stroke new reporter
takes the place Of the old one, whilst the
first retires to write out the notes he has
taken during the previous fifteen minutes.

CURIOSITIES OF AMERICAN HIS.
TORY.

The American political history is full
of curiosity and singular incidents. For
instance, three of our Presidents, all OF
whom participated in the Revolution,
died on its great anniversary, the Fourth
of July, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson
and James Monroe.
From 1901 to 1925, the Presidential Of
flee was filed by Virgnians. During the
same interval, with the exception of four
years, the Vice Presidential office was
held by citizens of New York.
OF the first six Presidents, four of them
We're taken from the office of Secretary
of State : the other two, being first elect
ed, could not perform its duties. From
this fact rose the precedence that makes
the Secretary of the State the first office
in the Cabinet, instead of the Secretary
of Treasury, which is the case in Great
Britain.
No less than five of the greatest of
American statesmen were born in the
same year, 1888, Daniel Webster, John
{. Calhoun, Thomas III. Benton, Martin
| Van Buren, and Lewis Cass. From 1900
to 1868, only two persons filled the office
of Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court of
the United States, John Marshal and
Roger Taney.
The Capital of the United States was
located ut Washington in pursuance of n
corrupt bargain, by which two or three
members of Congress, who lived adja-
cent to il and whose districts would be
greatly benefited by it, voted for the
funding of the National debt for that
consideration.
But two men of the United States have,
rs they say in Odd Fellowship, passed
through all the "chairs," been Governors
of States, held first-class foreign mis-
sion, been the head of the Cabinet, then
Vice President and President. Their
names are Thomas jefferson and Martin
Van Buren,.
Three Presidents died in office. Harri-
son, Taylor and Lincoln.
Three persons were elected Vice Presi-
dents before they became Presidents; Jon.
Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Martin
Van Buren,.
Three Vice Presidents died in office,
George Clinton, Eldridge Gerry, and
William II. King.
Three Vice Pesidents became Presi-
dents by the death of their Chiefs. John
Tyler, Milliard Fillmore and Andrew
johnson, and every one of them pursued
II policy adverse to that of the party by
whom they were elected. Two Of the
Vice Presidents of the United States, the
youngest men who ever held the office
were indicted for treason Aaron Burr
and John G. Breckenridge, and in each
instance the Government broke down and
dismissed the case without putting it be-
fore jury.
One Vice President, John G. Calhoun,
resigned his seat AS President of the Sen
ate to take place on the floor, where he
could have the privilege Of debate, and
there elucidate his State rights views un-
der the Constitution.

REVOLUTION IN TELEGRAH BUSINESS.
There are rumors abroad of a coming
revolution in the telegraph business. 1t
is reported that new system of trans
mitting news will soon be put in opera
ton between New York and Washing
ton, the operations of which will make
all present systems seem insuffcrably slow
and supernuous. Telegraph machines
will be distributed to individuals, who
by little practice will acquire the abli-
ty to stamp their messages on slip of
perforated paper in the telegraph cyphcr.
This when taken to the general Office will
be forwarded to its destination, and then
by another machine printed before deliv-
cry to the person for whom it is intended.
The whole time of the writing, transmits
sion and printing of message Of 100
words will be but one minute and twenty
seven seconds, and messages of that
length are to be forwarded for twenty
cents. The capacity of telegraph wire
in the present system is said to be about
5000 words in ten hours, but by the new
process it is claimed $4,000 words an
hour can be transmitted on one wire with
out confusion. One printing machine
can transcribe messages at the rate of
5000 words an hour. All the working
expenses of the new system are said to
he much less than those of tho old onos
The cost of machine for indicting mes
sages will be two or three dollars, SO
that any merchant, banker or newspaper
office can have one for its own business,
can do as much business with one wire
as hundred operators with hundred
wires do now.

CUPID'S DOINGS

ciaL AdcertiSer, Eli Perkins, writes a.
follows apropos of the gas famine in New
York: Last night l went home from DR.
Ewer's with Julia; felt great confidence
in myself. The darkness gave me conf
dence. 1t always gives lovers confidence.
There were thirty-six dark gas burners,
and one tallow candle-one Eighth Ave-
nue. tallow candle in her fathers palatial
mansion. | took her hand, did, and |
was about to say something very conf
dental in the feeble candle light, when
we heard Julia's cousin Mary in the back
parlor with Charley Brown. Charley
was taking advantage of the darkness too
We saw their shadows on the glass door
l heard him whisper:
MARY, dear, have something conf.
dental to tell you"
"What is it, Charley?" she lisped in q
sweet voice.
Then we saw one arm of his shadow
encircle her shadow, and somebody whis-
pered:
" L think Mary-I think that love
you"
Then we heard suppressed sigh.
Mary" continued the voice, "do you
love me?"
"Yes Charley, l do love you," she sob
bed.
"lIow much ?"
"Morc than words can express"
81 am very glad, Mary" continued
the voice, 'for thought you were ilirt-
ing"
"Well, Charley2"
But Charley never said another word.
Young fellows seldom get farther than
this nowadays. This is as much as any
reasonable young lady ought to expect.
Now Charley is an honorable, High
Church fellow, and he has gotten so far
with three hundred and eighty-six differ
ent young ladies on Fifth Avenue. 1t is
called by the fellows the sticking point.
Once i said, Charley, did you never
get any further than the sticking pont?"
Pshaw Eli, yes, ;" he replied, "there
are two other points still. We call them
the awful oath dodge and the poverty
dodge Why Two come these lodges
over the Fifth Avenue girls more than
twenty times"
"What is the awful oath dodge p" /
inquired anxiously.
''The awful oath dodge is where we
get sweet on n girl, tell her that we love
her, get her to say yes that she loves us,
then announce with tremendous solemni-
ty that we are compelled to take an awful
oath at the bedside Of our dying grand
father not to marry until the age Of 30.
OF course the young lady can't wait so
long as that, and we are out Of the
scrape."
"WeIl, what is the poverty dodge,
and how do you DO ?" | asked, still
opening my eyes at Charley's revelations.
"Never tell, my boy?"
"NeverW
"Well, l always tell the girls that /
love them"
"Yes?"
"Ask them if they love me-"
"Yes ?"
"Then they say yes"
"And you"
Why, then | sigh and say: Alas !
darling, | do love you; but love you too
much to ask you to marry. You, Mary,
are used to life of luxury. / am poor
and proud. ] would not ask you TO leave
home of comfort for home such as |
could give YOU"
We'll, Charley, how docs this gene
rally work ?"
Splendidly, old fellow That's what
we Fifth Avenue fellows call the poverty
dodge the very last jumping-of place,
you know"

ONE OF THE LOST TRIBES One OF
the "lost tribes" has at last turned up
safe and sound, in the shape OF people
called the Falashas, who inhabit district
of Abyssinia, which has long remained a
terra tncOgnita and blank space on the
maps. They were visited by Mr.. Halevy,
a very intelligent French traveller, who
has communicated an account of his jour
ney to the French Geological Society.
There were about 250, 900 of the Faashas.
They speak an Aqua dialect called Fala-
sha, or Kailhna, and into this language
they have translated Gheez version of
the Old Testament. They do not prac-
tice polygamy. They circumcise their
male children on the seventh day. Their
proper names are derived from Hebrew,
Gheez and Amharic. The institution of
publication is practiced; the children are
taught the bible, the psalms, prayers and
sacred history. In the synagogue the
sexes sit apart. Incense is burned during
the services. Their religious hopes are
turned to Jerusalem, but their ideas of
the Messiah are very indstinct. They
are wholly unacquanted with Hebrew,
and know nothing of the ceremonies in
stituted after the time of Ezra. They
have religious literature written in the
style Of the Midrath. They keep the Sab
bath rigidly; fast on Mondays and Thurs
days; keep the 9th of Alb to commemorate
the destruction of Jerusalem; they wash
before and say grace after eating, they
have traditional mode of slaughtering
animals for food; they practice commem-
orative sacrifices on the holy days, and
also for the repose Of the dead. Their
women enjoy equality with men. They
hold slaves, but liberate them after Il
servitude of six years.
