A Fortune Missed.

Colonel Michael P. Walsh died in the Shasta county, Cal, hospital on the 31st of December last. He was born at Waterford, Ireland, and was within Q few days of seyenty-eight years old at the time of his death. At the age of twenty-two he came to the United States and enlisted in the military service of his adopted country. In 1882 he went to Chicago and purchased eighty acres of land, for which he paid $200. This he kept for one year, when, the new town not coming up to his sanguine ex- pectations, and thinking it was not a very healthful place, he sold the lot for the amount he had paid for it and emi- grated to place of more hattering pros poets. He went to California twenty years ago, and soon took up his abode at Churntown, where he became en- gagged in mining. He was almost a helpless cripple for the last fifteen years his right arm having beenrendered use less by falling tree. When Colonel Walsh went to Chicago it was but @ mere outpost upon the western border of civilization, containing less than five hundred inhabitants. That eighty acre lot is in the very heart and centre of that opulent city of 300, 900 inhabitants. Had he kept that piece of property he might have counted his wealth by tens of millions. While he was running out the sands of life in poverty in the Shasta county hospital, the census of 1876 shows that tract of land which he once bought and for $200 represented more wealth than all the broad acres of Cali fornia from the mouth of Feather river to the Oregon line.

The Teaching of Grammar not Allowed.

"Ihave been sendin' my darter Nancy to skool, and last Friday I went over to the skool to see how she was gettin
 along, and I seed things didn't like by no means. The skool-master was larn- in her things entirely out of the line of eddycation, and, as think, improper.
 I set g while in the skool-house, an heered one class say their lesson. The lesson that Nancy sed was nuthin' but the foolishest kind of talk; the rediclist word she sed was T love- looked right at her for bein' so improper, but she went right on and sed, 'Thou love- est, and he loves.' And I reckon you never heered such rigmarole in your ife-loye, love, love and nothin' but love. She sed one time, T did love.
 Sez I, Who did you love?' The skolars 1afed, but I wasn't to be put of, and sed, Who did you love, Nancy? The skool-master sed he would explain when Nancy had finished the lesson. This sorter pacyied me, and Nancy went on with her awful love talk. It got wus and wus every word. She sed, I might, could, or would love- I stopped he1 again, and sed I reckon I would see about that, and told her to walk out o1 that house. The skool-master tried to interfere, but I would not let him say a word. He sed I was fool, and I nokt him down, and made him holler in short order. I talkt the strate thing to him. I told him I'd show how hede larn my darter grammar. got the nabors to. gether, and we sent him off in a hurry, and reckon tharl be no more grammar teachin' in these parts soon.'' ..

A Bold Exploit.

The following is from the diary of the late MT. Adolphus, the barrister and historian:
 "May 9th, 1S40.-We had dinner party, among them Mrs. Mathews and Curran, who told an amusing story of an agent to @ nobleman in Ireland. It was known to some rufians in the neigh borhood that he had collected large sum for rents due to his employer. In the middle of the n1ghthe heard thieves breaking into his house. He jumped out eff bed, and arming himself with a carving-knife, stood behind the door, and closed it, so that only one could enter at time, which one would be shown in the moonlight while he re- mained in the shade. Four of the thieves entered and were despatched one after another, those without not knowing what happened. The fifth saw @ gleam of the blade in the moonlight, seized the man, and @ tremendous seuff1e ensued. The agentstruck several blows with his weapon, but made no i'm pression. He was got down, and his antagonist over him, when, feeling the knife, he found the point was bent. He had the presence of mind to press 1t strongly against the floor, so as to turn it back, stabbed his adversary dead, and, as he was alone in the house and could have no assistance till the morn ing, retired to bed. He was knighted for the exploit. Some one said to him, I wonder you could go to bed while there were on the floor the corpses o1 five persons whom you had killed ? His answer was, It did make me very un. easy I could not get wink of sleer for nearly an hour!"

Transit of Venus.

In the astronomical world, the coming event. although yet nearly two years
 distant, is the transit of Venus. Ex- tensive preparations are making to utilize to the utmost, for the advance ment of astronomical science, this rare and interesting phenomenon. The transits of this planet take place at in- tervals of eight, one hundred and five and one-half, and one hundred and twenty-one and one-half years. The last transit having occurred on the 3rd of June, 1769, the next, after an inter val of one hundred and five and 8 half years, will greet the eyes of expectant astronomers on the 4th of December,
 1874. VenusAis the larger of the two planets having their orbs within that of the earth, and appears to terrestrial beholders the most brilliant and magni- fcent of all; the star par excellence of beauty, poetry and love. But not as a matter of sentimental, romantic or @s- thetic interest, nor yet with reference to the fact that no human eye now ex- isting has ever witnessed this phenome- non nor as a matter of mere scientific curiosity is the coming event so much discussed and so much prepared for.
 Accurate observation of this phenome- non will furnish data of the first inn portance to astronomical science, by which the distances from the sun of the earth and other planets, and their. re- spective magnitudes may be precisely calculated. -s.5 .T.e.... o.-.t -.1Hsy n

Mining and Manufactures.

Tin mines are said to have been dis covered in Utah.
 There was recently discovered near Staunton, Va, g large deposit of red hematite iron ore, probably thirty feet wide and extending several miles.
 The durability of asphalt as flooring has been tested in the Northampton (England) cattle market, and the decis- ion is against it. It was found that the treading of the cattle soon wore it away, and that it would speedily become necessary to replace it. It was accord ingly decided to lay the floor of the market with brick in place of the as- phalt.i"
 A Boston architect has been in the habit for many years of bedding his roofing states in hydraulic cement, in stead of having them nailed on dry in the usual way, which leaves them sub ject to be rattled by the wind and to be broken by any accidental pressure. The cement soon sets and hardens, so that the roof becomes like Q solid wall The extra cost is ten or fifteen per cent, and he thinks it good economy. It affords great protection against fire.
 The actual cost of a sewing machine is from $5 to $7, or with table and all complete from $10 to $30. At retail the price is $60 to $175, the difference being clear profit. ......
 The National OH Journal describes volcanic well-burner for increasing the production of oil wells. The process of using this volanic well-burner is as follows: A slow-burning composition, consisting of nitrate of soda, nitrate of potash, and charcoal, placed in suitable cases, is lowered to the bottom of the we'll, and then ignited by electricity The parts of combustion which are not carbonic gas are thrown out into the we'll through proper vents, heating the whole surface of sand rock, dissolving the parafine, and thoroughly restoring the original porosity of the oil-bearing rock, thus bringing the well back to nearly it's first production. This pro- cess is attended with no danger either to person or property, as there is no ex- plosion. .r.
 Water-pipes are now lined with glass. A space between the metal and the glass is filled with layer of plaster of Paris. The glassis thus protected from breakage. ~,- ...'
 Sixty manufactures supply us with corks. The value of the corks used in this country annually is estimated at g, 250, 900.
 Itis proposedto manufacture the pro- ducts of the gas wells in the western part of this State, Pennsylvania, and Ohio into carbon black, and patent has just been issued for process by which this may be economically done. If all the immense production of this natural gas can by cheap process be converted into an article of extensive commercial use, it will certainly be large source of profit to the oil regions.

: TREMoRs CAUSED BY ToBAoco.-The trembling which is one of the usual symptoms of acute, is also a common result of chronic nicotism. A very dis tinguished Parisian physician had hands which shook so much that he could not write. Whenever he remained without tobacco for any length of time, these tremblings disappeared. Another case,
 mentioned by Blatin, is noteworthy: A man of forty-fve years consulted him respecting violent and numerous attacks of vertigo. When he felt one of them approaching he was obliged to lie down wherever he might be, in order to avoid falling. In the country, where he had plenty of exercise, they were less ire quent than in the town, where his occu- patton was sedentary. Cessation from tobacco, and a tonic regimen, quickly restored him. A physician of ffty-two was afflicted with similar disagreeable symptoms, and was also cured by absti- hence. Habit had become so strong that he could not resist, at times, the temptation to slight indulgence. Find ing that these returns to tobacco were immediately followed by his old painful attacks, he renounced it forever.

A DooroB's SToRY.-A good, but we know not how reliable story, is related of 8 venerable doctor of the experiment al and eclectic school of medicine. It was one of his rules never to have any thing wasted; and therefore when any prescription remained after the patient had died or recovered, he, would ezepty it into bottle kept for the purpose, that became the receptacle of a hetero- geneous compound that science could not analyze. A younger member of the faculty noted this as 8 very singular fact, and he asked of him the reason for t. The doctor hesitated little and then replied that though in ordinary cases he knew well what to do, there were instances where all his medical skill failed! At such times it was his custom to resort to the big bottle, and leave na- ture and accident to accomplish the cure. "And will you believe it" said he, |" some of my most brilliant success es have resulted from it.

A Dangerous Place.

A correspondent speaking of the South African diamond mines, says :- Foreseeing the tremendous amount of labor that would be concentrated in and about the claims, the surveyors made twelve roads through the kopje
 to which each claim-holder gave seven feet and half. So between every two lines of claims there was road fifteen
 feet wide. Of course this portion of the ground was to remain untouched until some future time, when, the rest of the soil being worked, these alone remained to dig into. But-alas for the anticipations of the authorities and the intentions of the diggers L. the roads were not left intact. They were undermined, gouged, and encroached on, until they became to cave in. Huge slices would break away from the walls, and with dull thud, and surrounded by choking 1imy dust, would crash into the pit below. Perhaps faint cry looking up, saw his end at hand or perhaps more likely his back was bent, and, eager to see the sparkling gem turn out before his gaze, he was cut of from the living world without a mo- mouI $ WdTu1uS. AuOtAcE udy d Sdplutty crack in the roadway is ominous of an accident. The diggers look at it and say, It's no wider to-day than yester- day ;' "Oh, it will stand ;'' We are safe enough ; and so they descended the shaft, unmindful of their peril. Ten minutes after heavy loaded cart crawls that way, it's great wide wheels cutting deep into the ground. It reaches this crack, wheel enters the seam, and 8 moment more the digger below and the driver above meet in eternity, while crowd of Caffres make hooray" over the affair as they pull their mutilated bodies away from the confused mass of wood, iron, and dirt. Next day the claim is sold, and people forget the last accident in the still new. CT horrors which accumulate. The dan. gerous condition of the mine has caused many to sell out and leave, for as it is at present worked (July 1872), no mar can descend into the claims without peril to his life. In the end the only plan to work it safely will be to form { joint-stock company to work it out piece

''Is it possible you smoke. Mrs. Washburn ?" asked MT. Barnes, aston ished at the singular spectacle of a woman pufing away at cigar, for all the world like a loafer in a barroom.
 Occasionally, just to please my hus- band," replied Mrs. Washburn, after she had blown out long breath of blue smoke. ...
 "Yes, Barnes, interposed Mir. Wash burn, Sit is more sociable you know, to have company when one smokes. We are generally alone in the evening and she is so kind as to smoke with me. An, Barnes, teach your wife to smoke, it is so pleasant to smoke with one's wife,"
 The lady was thunderstruck. Was it possible that he had no more respect for the proprieties of life than that? She smoke She had already acquired the reputation of being smoker, with out having produced any of the desired good results.
 Mrs. Washburn threw the lighted Bagdad into the stove. She had almost cried with vexation. 'f....t... t'

 ''Do smoke, my dear it gives me so much pleasure to see you enjoy good cigar" ..- .. ...

 MT. Washburn laughed outright, and, throwing down his cards, explained the event of the preceding evening.
 "I will own up; did it to break him of the habit I give it up.'
 When the gentlemen had taken their leave, Mrs. Washburn explained by whose advice she had adopted the plan.
 Mrs. Volant has the reputation of being perfect shrew. Her husband is laughing stock for all State street. She is bad adviser. . ..-.: ..,.
 "How slick you have turned the joke upon me-" said Mrs. Washburn, laugh ing heartily.
 "To tell the truth, I overheard some of your conversation when the plot was
 "oh, ho, you did; no wonder it fail ed then"
 ''I did but, Mary, are you so very weed, but love you more, " and MT. Was6burn kissed her tenderly. -
 "Nay, will say no more about it. Perhaps I was selfish"
 "Not selfish. I will leave it off, my dear, for your sake.
 'tNo, no I don't want you to do SO. If you are 50 very fond of smoking l will never say another word about it.
 And MT. Washburn has smoked his cigar in peace ever since. .....

After the Apple,

AIter the Apples Behind me clang the golden doors
 No strength of mine may ope again. Before me stretch the wild, waste shores These hands to harvest fields must train. My last look, turning to the skies
 Of Eden that I lose to-day, & Sees but the lightnings of your eyes, Like flaming swords to bar the way. You stand there, in your innocence, Amazed, indignant at such end: Judging passion too intense
 For uniformed souls to comprehend From you within to me without
 A distance as from sea to sea Outbroadens-the abyss of doubt
 Twixt dream and wake that needs must be. Yet think not, howsoever wide,
 That gulf shall not be spanned at last; Nor fancy shoreless deeps divide
 The exiled future from the past. The path my feet have trod before E.T Or soon or late you too shall tread - e. I may not walk your Eden more,
 But you will come to me instead. For, various of taste, trow
 That, since our common mothers fall, Some fruit upon that self-same bough a Hath ripened for the lips of all; And hang it low or hang it high,
 And be tho flavor sour or sweet, For you in turn the time draws nigh -... To pluck the apple and to eat. a. Till then peachance 'tis well your eyes = q Should scathe me with their ignorant scorns Go shelter in your Paradise, ... And leave me here among the thorns. But when you too, without the gates, .... Look, shuddering, OCT the desert bare, Then tura-and pardon one who waits To make pathway for you there.

Ten of the workmen went down with the span; three of these were never seen to rise again, and are supposed to have been crushed by the falling tim bers. Another drifted short distance down the river and soon sunk forever.

IvoRY.-The various substances in- cluded under the term ivory are the tusk of the elephant, the walrus, the narwhal and the hippopotamus. To these we must add the fossil ivory so often used in ancient carvings. This was obtained from Siberia, where the tusks of the mammoths are found along the banks of the large rivers. It is curious fact that the largest tusks of ivory now pro- cured would not furnish pieces as large as: those used in the Middle Ages. There is every probability that the an cients softened the ivory and could then enlarge the pieces. A fifteen century recipe in the British Museum directs that the ivory should be placed in muri- atic acid, and it will become soft as wax. By being placed in white vinegar it hardens again. The Greeks used ivory to decorate their couches, and also their shields and arms. Greek sculptors did not think it beneath them to work in the art. 1s,i,s 2st..@..Ey 7.-.
