TAKING A SwE.r.-A Michigan paper
tells an amusing story o: a minister OF
that State who took an old fashioned
sweat, and was wrapped up in an old
fashioned patch quilt of many colors.
In duo course of time he walked up to
find himself all over spotted blue, black
md purple. Believing that lnotitica-
ton had already set in, he began to set
tie up his earthly accounts and prepare
for his final dissolution, while the men,
bers OF the flock gave themselves up to
uncomfortable grief. The arrival of a
physician and the examination of the
faded quilt gave another explanation OF
the spots, and turned the house of
mourning into one of laughter.

TIE WATER TELEscopE-F seeing
under water, consists of tube, to emu
hle person looking over the gunwale
of u boat to rest the head on one end
while the other is below the surface of
the water; the upper end being SO formed
that the head may rest on it, both
eyes seeing freely into the tube. Into
the lower end is fixed (water tight) q
plato of glass, which, when used is to
be kept under the surface of the water;
so that the spectator, looking down the
tube, secs all objects at the bottom
whose reflective powers are able to send
off rays of sufficient intensity to be i'm
pressed on the retina, after suffering
the loss of light caused by the absorb
ing power of the water. Light in pass
ing through pure sea water, loses half
its intensity for each Is feet through
which it passes, says Sir John Leslie.
In clear water the bottom may thus be
seen at the depth of twelve fathoms.
This contrivancc is much used in seal
shooting along the nothern and western
island Of great Britain, where some
times in the form of an ordinary
washing-tub with piece of glass fixed
in its bottom, the shot seal is looked
for, and the grapplinS-hook let down to
bring him to the surface. The Norwe-
,,ian fisherman also often use this tele-
scope when their anchors get into foul
ground, or their cables warped on a
roadstead.

So It is fortunate for the auriferous

So It is fortunate for the aurifcroua
reputation of the southern continent
that another land of treasure has been
discovered, for the gold mines of Peru
are even more exhausted than those of
California. The few foreigners who
have recently sunk their capital in the
sands Of the Peruvian rivers have not
recovered much Of it, and the search
fer ru!l has been virtually abandoned.
Even the tombs of the Incas no longer
yield the precious metal to the sacrile-
Sinus invader. 1t has long been ira
dition in Peru that in sepulcher situ-
utcd near the summit of high noun
tain, a few miles from Areluipa, gold
to the value of about thirteen million
dollars was buried. About IL year ago
some adventurous foreigners asccnded
the mountain with party of Indian
guides and laborers. They dug at the
place pointed out by the Indians, and
found II handsome vault of burnt brick
In the vault lay the dricd-up remains
OF an old Peruvian queen. On her
wrists We're bracelets of silver, but no
gold could I've discovered. Owing to
the rarity of the atmosphere the adven-
t,irers Were forced to return to Arcquipa
without having completed their explo-
rations. Curiously enough. most of the
gold in Peru comes from Europe in the
shape of subscriptions to loans and the
proceeds for Euano, and those who sigh
for the wealth of Peru are really sigh
inr for heaps of that substance.

PosTAoE.-Tbo new Postal Law will GO into
effect on the first day of July. Our subscribers
will pay the postage on the paper for three or
six months at their respective offices. The rate
will be five cents per quarter, or twenty cents
per year. The law applies to all, no matter
where they may reside. The change Is not
pleasant one TO those who have been receiving
the county paper without charge, but as the
tax is not heavy We trust they will comply with
the requirements of the law until 1t can be
changed. The policy of Congress has been to
encourage the dissemination Of newspapers,
but at the last session step was taken In the
opposite direction. We are led to think that a
number ofthe members will not be reelected at
least they do not deserve TO be. If this action
is deemed to be Of little consequence, the salary
grab alone should damn them to eternal in
fanny
