The scene Of earthquake activity
seems to have been transferred to
Europe for a time. In California there
has scarcely been felt a shock worthy
of notice In the last three years, where
rs several districts In Germany and
Austria have been shaken up freely
and severei,, and district in England
has also felt many shocks, but in no
one case has any large town been In
jurcd or any human life been lost. The
latest shocks were felt at the village Of
Nasscnfuss, where a trembling almost
continuous was felt during tho first
week In December, and the quakes
were felt afterward at intervals till the
latest date, and were accompanied by
noises like that Of a distant cannonade.
Unusual earthquake activity in one
part of the earth Is generally consid-
cred as a good sign for the quiet of
other parts.

whether, rs a rule, they more than pay
the expense, while there Is no doubt
that they are a nuisance. The blankest
of dead-walls Is only disflgured by pos
tiers, provoking In the we'll regulated
mind a sense Of aversion to the man
who so %'advertises, and the articles
upon whose eXcellencies he expatiates;

I wish to tell you how I cured my

DEATH YAILEy.-The question has
been asked us whether Death Valley,
a region situate In tho northern part Of
San Bernardino county, near the Ne
vada State line, is higher or lower than
sea level. On B%ancroft's map of 1857
1t is marked rs 175 feet below the sea
level. We cannot vouch for the accu-
racy of this statement, but suppose It
was taken from tho records Of the
boundary survey. If correct, it Is pro-
bable that Death Valley Is the lowest
land In the United States. 1t Is In latl-
tude So degrees and % minutes. longl-
tude 40 degrees west from Washington.

Why PRINTERS ARE DIssrpATED.-A
certain typo, whose nose shone In the
dark like a Lighthouse, from tho effects
Of steady and copious libations Of stim-
ulants, having been asked why printers
were dlssipated, astonlshed the ques-

swer:
When others Stunned tho murky aky,
When flash on flash was bright'ning,
Great Franklin went to fly his kite,
And bottled up the lightning.
And since his time, when cares opprcss,
And the hard times arc lightning,
The printer seeks to drown his woes
In draughts OF ''bottled lightning"
When badly tattered-his warm heart
Aplaee for griefto rankle in
he takes the "liQhtning," flies bis kite,
And thinks himself q Franklin.
