RATHER Too SAFE.-A San Francisco
paper speaks of safe constructed by an in
genious mechanic of that city. To illustrate
its burglar-proof qualities, he had himself
locked up inside of it, with an ample sup
ply of provisions, and offered to give $1,000
to the man who unlock the door,
That was about two weeks ago. Since then,
all the blacksmiths and burglars and carpen-
tiers in the State have been busily boring and
blasting and beating at the safe, and the man
is there yet. He has whispered through the
keyhole that he will make the reward $40, 900,
but fears are entertained that the only way to
release the prisoner will be to melt him up
with the safe in blast furnace.

CHINESE WAY OF BRINGING A MAN
BACK TO LIFR.-The San Francisco Post
says Chinaman in that city, named All
Och, who had been sick with typhoid fever,
suddenly, to all appearances, died. The COM
pany to which he belonged sent man to his
residence, on Jackson street, and he on his
return received permit to make a coffin for
the dead man. Some of the deceased mans
friends, however, not thinking he was really
dead, sent for Chinese DOCTOR The medi-
cal man soon came, and in accordance with
the custom of his country, heated an iron
poker to white heat and burnt the supposed
dead man on the forehead and eyebrows; he
also stabbed him in various parts of his BODY
This had the effect of arousing him; he had
only been in trance.

Bierstadt,s New Picture.

Mr.. Townley writes in the March number
of Scri6ner's Monthly:
Last Summer Mr.. Berstadt made another
trip West, and made studies for another large
painting for which he had received a commits
sion from c. p. Huntington, ESQ.,, President
OF the Central Pacific Railroad. The scene
is on the route Of the road, and the point of
view is near the place where, some fifteen
years ago, party OF emigrants perished with
in short distance of the Civilization tbev
were seeking, but of the proximity of which
they did not know. The rocky summit from
which the view is taken is high, and thus a
vast extent OF mountain, lake, and valley is
embraced. The line Of the railroad, is be-
held, mere thread, where it enters the scene
some thirty miles off, and the eve follows it,
coming nearer still, along the perilous path
cut for it in the trap and granite sides of the
great hills which tower above it. In the mid
die distance is Donner Lake, the central point
OF interest, and beyond it range after range of
NILS until the horizon meets them. The fore
ground is to suggest the unbroken wildness of
the place, with its great stretches of Jagged
pine, the outcropping rocks, their bald fore
neads to the sky, and the marvellous detail of
vegetable life characteristic of the region. To
this end the artist has made MANY studies of
the lesser forms which will admit of realiza-
ton. .gsi.ils ,'''i.. ~,
The painting will be entitled s.Sunrise on
Sierras, the sun being seen just above the
distant horizon, his glories of gold and GRIM
son repeated in the waters of Lake Donner.

Blerstadt rose morning after morning at four
O'Clock, until he had secured the desired eff
fect OF light and shade and color.

A SPEcK OF DUsT.-The following Illus
tration Is given of etiquette in the time of
Louis XY.: In the Queens apartment there
were two chambers. One day the Queen saw
aspeck of dust on her bed, and showed it to
Madame de Luynes, the maid of honor. The
latter sent for the ualet de chambre, bed-mak-
er to the Queen, that he might show it to the
udtet de chGna6re, bed-maker to the King.
The latter arrived at the end of an hour, but
said that the dust was none of his business
because the bed-makers of the King made up
the common bed of the Queen, but were for
hidden to touch the State bed. Consequent
ly the dust must be removed by the officers of
the household. The Queen gave orders that
they should be sent for, and every day for
two months she asked if the dust had been
brushed off, but they had not yet found out
whose duty it was to remove the speck. Fl
nally the Queen took up feather duster and
brushed it off. Great was the scandal there
OF, but no one dreamed of blaming the alb
sence of the officers; they only found that the
Queen had been wanting in etiquette
