Freak Of an ADe.

The French journal, le Nord, is re-
sponsible for the following account of
a horrible accident which has Just hap
pened at Montrouge, one of the SUBJ
nrbs of Paris. A. NJ. Dumas, residing
there, an agent of manufacturing chem
lists in Rouen, has kept for the last
three months a black ape, which has
been brought to him from Africa. It
was NJ. Dumas's custom every evening
before going to bed to take q glass Of
eau stsrcee, into which he put o little
orange water. The monkey, which was
in the bedroom and saw him do this.
is believed to have formed the purpose
of repeating the act. M. Dumas
had just received from his employers q
specimen of nitric acid which he was
to sell to retail dealer in Paris. Al
ter having opened and examined the
bottle he prepared his glass of sugar
and water and went to bed and iell
asleep. The monkey then poured the
contents of the bottle into the glass and
retired; :. Feeling thirsty during the
the poison. He died shortly afterwarl,
having suffered the most excruciatine
agony. The Steele adds to what is
stated above that when the neighbors
came in, the monkey was seen with the
empty bottle in his hands.

Precious Stones In Arizona n

Precious Stones In Arizona and Colorado.
There is no longer any doubt as to
the discovery Of diamond fields in
southwestern Colorado and Arizona.
Several packages of stones have passed
through Denver, and after reaching
San Francisco have been proved to con-
tain diamonds of the first water, to-
gether with other precious stones. A
company OF 100 men Is organizing in
Denver, and already numbers over 80,
who will start in few days, armed,
equipped and provisioned for a six
months expedition. An organization
was effected and officers elected last
evening.
Another diamond district has been
found in Colorado, nearly west of
Denver, on the proposed extension of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad. An engineer party under
w. II. Pugh, Chief Engineer of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road, left Pueblo September Sd, fol-
lowing the Arkansas River and Tennes.
see Creek to the head waters of the
Poney River, down the Peny, Grand
White and Uintah rivers, and reached
Salt Lake October 10th, passing over
that portion of the route indicated by
the Poney and Uintah rivers. The
Engineers were attracted by the bril-
liancy of the stones found in this re-
gion, and without search for diamonds
quite a number we're gathered as speci-
mems. After arriving at Salt Lake and
seeing the diamonds and specimens
produced and hearing the testimony
the belief is rapidly growing that the
wealth of Rock contains a diamond
field that will vastly eclipse it's wealth
in silver and gold.

4 Big Joke on Watcrford-Armed Men
Lying I'm Wait for tho Bank Robbers.

Lying In V0nC 1Or Inc Bank Robbers.
The Directors of the Bank of Water
ford met on Sunday to consider some
important matters in relation to the re-
cent burglary. It had been noised
about the village that the nine robbers
were to appear masked and unrecoe-
nizable at the meeting, and that they
were to deliver up the stolen bonds and
compromise the burglary. This queer
story was swallowed by some of the
gulible ones, and straightway num-
Der of the sufferers agreed among them
selves that they would have satisfaction
for their loss at all events. Armed to
the teeth, they surrounded the bank
building and waited the arrival or de-
parture of the masked burglars, with a
full and honest intention of shooting
them on the spot. When the confer-
ence of Directors broke up, and no rob-
beers appeared, the revengeful village
folks, satisfied that they had been
hoaxed, withdrew to their homes. The
revelation caused much merriment
among the bank officers when it leaked
out. Seriously, it is the general belief
that the burglars will compromise with
in month.

The Arctic Region.

It seems that the Arctic observations
OF DR.. Kane and others are about to be
disproved by more recent explorations.
In the course of an interview with the
captain of one of the Inflated Arctic
whalers, on the northwest passage. a
San Francisco newspaper reporter has
been convinced that there is no such
thing IS an open polar sen. The person
interviewed also expressed the opinion
that thepracticability Of a passage from
the Pacific to the Atlanticis impossible,
that crossing the country with dogs and
reindeer was all theory, and that there
was no such thing as an open sea. The
who had been up to latitude
70 degrees, believed there was q CONT
nent OF ice, possibly with current of
water beneath, and that solid ice exists
beyond that latitude that never did
come out and never will-thus conflict
ing somewhat with Parry's opinion :of
the northwest passage.

ono had touched the dolls. The next
morning but three were to be seen.
This was too much for Lulu's tender
heart she burst into tears, and when
Mt night she undressed her remaining
children, she begged them, with many
sobs, not to die, for she firmly believed
TINT her lost ones had died, and de-
parted from earth. AIMS for the little
mother! Morning came, but the dolls
had all vanishedl I will not try to
tell you about Lnlu's grief; her tears
were too many to be counted. I will
only say that week passed, with no
news from the dolls.
Meanwhile Snaps conduct changed.
He was observed to become moro 50.
ciablc, and would even have allowed
Lulu to pet him, had she cared to do
so; but at the Same timo there was q
certain sheepishness about his manner,
which was very unusual Ono morning.
just week after the loss of hor chill
dren, Lulu arose, and suddenly uttered
a cry Of mingled joy and horror ut the
sight which met her astonished eyes;
there set tho six dolls in their long,
trailing nightgowns, ghostly white no
longer, for, shocking to relate, they
were covered with mud from head to
foot, their conntenances were concealed
by mud, their little hands were full of
mud, and their poor nightgowns were
di ssolved with mud and dripping with
water. Lulu's exclamation brought
mamma to the spot, and as she opened
the door in came Snap. His head and
tho remains of his tail were bent so low
that they nearly met, and he rather
rolled than ran to Lulu, and cast him
self on his back ut her feet, Just as he
often did when he wished to beg her
mercy. Mamma could not help laugh
ing, it was SO funny! Aud advised Lulu
to forgive Snap, she promised to ex-
plain It all. This Lulu was quiet ready
to 10, she was SO delighted by her
children's return and as soon as she
had done hugging the six dolls, i'm
spite Of their condition,-she petted
Snap, to that worthy's unbounded de-
light, and then ran to mamma to hear
how it all came about.
Mamma told her that when the first
doll was missed she and papa suspected
Snap So they arose very early the next
morning to watch him. Looking out
of the window just as day was begin
ming to dawn, they saw the little fellow
come out of the house with a doll in
his mouth. Trotting swiftly along, he
cast the poor thing into a large mud
puddle, in the back part Of the yard.
The next morning he d1d the same with
another and the next he carried out
three dolls, one at a. time. Evidently
the little dogs conscience had troubled
him, for at the end of week he fished
them all out, and reset them just as
they were when ne carried them of.
OF course the dolls were spoilt; but
papa made that oil right by buying six
new ones,-six always was Lulu's idea
of proper-sized family.-and after
this Snap assisted the little mother as
gravely and dutifully as before, in her
morning and evening care of her chill
dfen, and once more they lived happy
little family. Thus ended Snaps first
and last revenge. AUNT MoL1M.

A Turning Point in the English Iron
Trade.

The fact that the buyers are every
where holding back, in anticipation of
decline in the prices of iron, and that
manufactures are now, for the first time
in several months, disposed to secure
fresh orders, may be regarded as sig
niticant feature of tho iron situation.
The extreme rates are therefore pro-
ducing their natural results; and al
though Mt present, except in O few
localities, there is no diminution of
activity. yet it is noticeable that opera.
lions arc limited to filling old orders,
and that new ones fail to come in. So
Tar the rates of the first quality of iron
have been maintained, but in second
and inferior grades concessions have
been made to buyers to an extent
which points to general decline -

Fossil Remains in Canada.

A very interesting discovery Of fossil
remains has recently. been made at
Millbrook, Ontario. Bones and teeth
of gigantic size have been dug up, and
on examination proved to be the re-
mains of the extinct mammoth, the
elphas Americans of the quatenary
period. The teeth are quite sound,
and have a well-preserved grinding
surface of seven and q half inches in
length by three and half inches in
breadth, and measure twenty inches in
circumference. Each tooth weighs
about seven pounds. The portion of
tusk found is also well preserved. The
discovery of these remains has created
" large amount of interest in scientific
circles.

man Skulls.

A paper read before the American
Association by Professor Foster, of Chica-
60, is the most important which has vet
been brought forward ut this years' con.
grees, and is likely to attract the attention
OF scientists throughout the world. It
proved the existence, at some remote
period OF the history Of the globe, of u
race ct men whose crania were 90 different
from those ofknown varieties of tho human
species as to constitute almost q now ZOO.

men muet have been exceptionally small.
and in fact the discovery is of a variety 60
far removed from those heretofore known
a. to afford one of the most remarkable
contributions yet made to the data Of
Darwinism.
Attention had been called before to the
existence of some such raco. but the
knowledge of it was 80 vague, and the
facts presented by Professor Foster arc
contrariwise s" ample, that they come with
the effect ola new discovery. The size Of
the brain cavity is not stated, but it seems
probable, from the general Dimensions,
even that is proportionatcly less than in
many brute genera. Those who object to
the "descent" forced upon US by Mr.: Oar

dices will find hard nut to crack in the
new data thus brought forward. There
