SAYS the Marquette Mining Journal ::
An Indian up on the Houghton and
Ontonagan railroad lost the cork out of
a can of ro-glycerine, and replaced
it with Il wooden one, which he drove
into its place with his little hatchet.
The can was completely ruined, and
the noble red man is supposed to have
made the quickest trip to the happy
hunting grounds on record"

ture Of 1910, where a Mr.. Gerry Man

portion the State into Congressional
districts. One of his districts comprised
string of counties reaching entirely
across the State, and another resembled
in form a horseshoe rampant. The
word gerrymander sprung into ex-
istence at once.
A PRACTICAL joke was recently perpe-

The wag was all accommodation, and
fixed the Indian with his papers. The
beggar started out on his professional

crowd of jolly fellows on Main street.
One of them took the certificate and
read out to the rest: This Indian has

CamelS in Nevada.

From the Virginia City Enterprise. Jan. l3.
A train of over dozen camels arrived
in this city yesterday afternoon from
the valley of Carson river, below Day
ton. These "ships of the desert were
loaded with hay, in bales, for Adams's
hay yard on North d street. The huge,
ungainly beasts presented quite pic
turesque appearance as they filed into
town with their cumbrous freight. Upon
arriving at the hay yard, at the word of
command they all knelt down to be re.
lieved of their loads. These animals
appear to thrive quite as we'll in this
country as in the wilds of Sahara. There
are an abundance of deserts here if they
are necessary to the comfort of the
beasts

A Wonderful Fish.

Prof Agassiz, who is with scientific
expedition upon the coast survey steamer
Hassler, writes from ST. Thomas to the
Superintendent of the Survey some ac'
count of the progress of the expedition.
A curious discovery was made OF the
nest of fish, built up of the guilt weed
curiously knit together into mass as
large as the two fists. The elastic
threads which held the sea-weed to-
gether were found beaded at intervals
with eggs, which proved to be those OF a
curious fish, which has fins resembling
hands, by which it attaches itself to
the sea-weed and walks rather than
swms. The fish has long been known,
but its curious nest, set afioat upon the
ocean, is a new discovery. Probably
usast Of nur readers know that the gulf.

When night comes brooding DER me,
Like prisons dreary cell;
And its visions rise before me.
With dread no speech may tell
When alone with my only longing.
And the darkening spell of fear.

Till the beams of dawn appear.
Then. like some silver chimes.
Come back the old, old times
The dear old times, my darling.
The living, loving times!
Unsleeping. i remember
The days that all are gone.
Like June dreams in December,
Or flowers when summers done
The times that are never over.
For they live in heart and brain.
And. like kisses from lover.
Their spell comes back again.
Like n song of magic rhymes.

This is my lone lifc's treasure.
That none can take away
Remembrance without measure
Of every vanished day.
Oflove-light round me streaming.
Of tender lips and eyes;
Awake lie, yet dreaming.
Nor sleep till day shall rise.
Like bee in blossomed lines.

Studying Stars by Lantern.

Rev. Sames Freeman Clarke, of Bos
ton, has turned his wits in novel di-
rection in inventing an astronomical
lantern. 1t is small dark lantern,
one side of which is fitted for paper
cards on which are punched, by little
pin holes, the various consultations in
the heavens, SO that boy, or girl for
that matter, who is studying the stars
has only to go onights with his or her
lantern and supply of cards, put the
consultations in succession in front OF
his light, and then follow out the
originals in the sky. 1t saves him the
trouble of running into the house every
few moments to study up his charts.

Hints TO HOrSemen.

You should always keep your horse
fat. and never allow any lien on him.
When your horse refuses to take
up an oat, consider him as having failed.
You may stirrup your saddle, but
don't stir up your horse-in crowd.
If you don't look carefully after the
bits of your horse, you may some day
be looking after the bits of your wagon.

A New PrOpelling Power.

A Buffalo man must have the credit
for the most novel invention yet pro
posed for propelling boats on the canal
The power is not attached to the boat,
and the entire body of water in the ca
nal is moved, and the current thus Gre
ated is used as the propelling power
The plan embraces q wall laid in the
centre of the canal its entire length, di
viding it into two equal channels. AT
the head of each level is placed an i'm
mersed wheel of peculiar construction,
which is moved by stationary engine
and the action of which is to throw the
water from one of the channels into the
other. A current is thus created from
the machinery in one channel and to
ward it in the other.

The Yarn of the "Nancy Bell"

W. S. GILBERT.
| Twas on the shores that round the coast
From Deal to Ramsgate span,
That found alone, on piece of stone
An elderly naval man.
His hair was weedy. his beard was long,
And weedy and long was he
And heard this wight on the shore recite
In singular minor key:
"0h. am cook and Captain bold
And the mate of the Nancy brig.
And hosun tight and midshipmite.
And the crew of the Captains gis"
And he shook his fists and tore his hair.
Till really felt afraid.
For couldn't help thinking the man had been

which at one time threatened the mainte-
nance OF peace between Brazil and the
Argentine republic. it is hoped, are in the
way of satisfactory adjustment.
With the states as with the republics of
Central and South America we continue to
maintain the most friendly relations. 1t il
with regret, however, announce that the
Government OF Venezuela has made no
further payment on account of the award
under the convention of the 18th of April,
1866. The latter republic is understood to
be now almost if not quite tranquilized. 1t
is hoped, therefore, that it will lose no
time in providing for the unpaid balance
of its debt to the United States, which,
having originated in injuries to our citizens
by Venezuelan authorities, and having
been acknowledged pursuant to treaty in
the most solemn form knownamong nations
would seem to deserve a preference over
debts Of different origin and contracted in
q different manner. This subject is again
recommended to the attention of Congress
for such action as may be deemed proper.
JAPAN AND CHINA.
Our treaty relations with Japan remain
unchanged. An imposing embassy from
that interesting and progressive nation
visited this country during the year that is
| passing, but being unproyided with powers
for the signing of convention in this coun-
try, no conclusion in that direction was
reached. 1t is hoped, however, that the
interchange of opinions which took place
during their stay in this country has led to o
mutual appreciation of the interests which
may be promoted when the revision of the
existing treaty shall be undertaken. In
this connection renew my recommends.

contempt shown for Colfax, in Philadelphia
only makes assurance doubly sure that the
