A New Version.

The latest account we have heard Of
the passage OF the Red Sea by the Is
raelites and the accompanying circum-
stances, we find in the Reese River
Reoeitte OF the lst instant. The writer
had been eating passover or unleaven
bread:
When Pharaoh was Khedive of
Egypt he was building government
buildings by contract, and the Israel
ties were working for him making
brick by the day. Like all govern
ment contractors, he neither furnished
Il good article nor treated his employees
with Justice.
The Israelites struckfor higher wages
and eight hours day, and organized a
trade union and elected man named
Moses President. Mr.. Moses was in
the clothing business; and because he
didn't know anything about labor, the
lsraelites thought he would make a
good presiding officer of a labor organ
IZaton.
When the Israelits struck, old Pha-
raoh hired a new set of hands, and
they (the Israelites) concluded to go on
Il prospecting trip into Canaan district
where there was represented to be a
Il big milk and honey ledge Owing
to the snow blockade Oh the SueZ
Canal, the market was bare of yeast
powders and the mills that made the
self-rising flour had shut down; and
rs the Israelites were afraidthe claims
would all be located if they did not
get there quick they started off with a
few sacks of flour and mixed their
bread in the flour sack and baked it on
Il hot rock.
After they had crossed the creek,
Pharaoh missed some picks and
shovels, and thinking the Israelites
had stolen them, he swore out a
search-warrant and sent a Sheriff's
posse after them. The Sherif7s party
missed the ford and We're drowned, and
TO this day the Israeltes eat unleaven
bread in commemorat;on of the event.

A Successful Temperance Movement.

The Danbury Ncaos contains the fol-
lowing:
A resident of Ward Sixteen in Bos
ton, believing that drinatng liquor
was perniciouss fstoais resolately set
his face against tllf SALOONS and put a
barrel Of ale in h&fellat On the first
evening of the purchase he repaired to
thecellar to tap his ale, taking kero-
sene lamp with him. On reaching the
barrel he thoughtful,y set the lamp on
the floor in direct lale with the spot
he was totap, and taking the faucet in
one hand drove in the bung, and
meant to have applied the faucet at
once. But the power at the vent was
SO great that the faucet was knocked
from his hand and the lamp being in
direct range was upset and put out in
a flash. A less sanguine party would
have plunged up stairs for another
lamp; but he'd find that faucet in the
dark if it took him seventy-five years
to do it. He dropped on his knees and
described various circles with his
hands, while the foaming and sputter-
ing ale whistled uninterruptedly. He
moved around swifter and swifter, los
ing the calmness born of his determin-
alton at every unsuccessful return of
the encircling hand. He bumped his
head against other barrels, scratched
his knees on the floor and was bonn
barded in the face and neck and under
his ceat-tails by the fierce steam. But
he to0uid find that faucet. He beat
the cement surface with his fist, and
prayed, and howled, and screamed, and
Wept. But he wouldn't go after a
light. The flying ale got into his
throat and choked him, and into his
nose and made him sneeze. 1t ran
from his hair. But he wouldn't give
it up. And down there on his knees in
the dark and flying liquid he stayed
like an honest and honorable citizen
until he had found that faucet, and
damned it into the barrel. Then he
felt his way up stairs and appeared
TO his family with want of congruity
in his appearance that was painful to
behold. rhe blood from a scratch over
the eye had mingled with flecks OF
foam and trickling ale, and these in
turn were loaded with dust and cob
webs. His hair and clothing were
saturated, and one eye vas completely
closed, while the other glared upon
the horror-stricken family in uncon-
scious ferocity. But he had found that
faucet, and he would have found it if
he had stayed down there until Canada
had frozen over 1--WE think he said Can
ada. Then he went UP stairs and got
into bed.

A Curiosity.

From the Virginia City Ent erprise.
Ex-Governor Blasdel has shown us
a great curiosity which he found in
the Franklin mine, American Flat.
1t appears that in some part Of the
mine wooden spout was put up to
conduct q stream Of water out of the
way of the men working in drift or
tunnel. This was done years ago.
During a late visit to the mine Bias
del discovered that inside the wooden
spout had been formed u second spout
of stone. This stone resembles mar
BILE, and both on bottom and sides ap-
pear the regular layers resembling
the "growths" Of tree, about an
eighth of an inch in thickness, and
differing slightly in color This stone
cast of the spout presents on the under
side fac-simile of the grain of the
wood Of the board forming the bottom
of the spout, and it was the opinion OF
many persons who examined it that a
portion of the wood had been petritied,
and thus incorporated in the mass OF
stone forming the imitation spout.
The material thus solidified appears to
be almost pure silica, with perhaps ag-
gregations of some grains and parti-
cles of other matter. The water form
ing this singular concretion, almost as
hard as flint, is as clear as the water of
any ordinary spring or fountain. y
similar coating of stone would doubt
less be formed in or upon any article
carved in wood and placed where the
water would flow over and around it,
and some curious things might thus
be formed.

Why Writers Drink.

John NJ. Days, Of San Francisco, who
navigates goose" by way of bust
ness and writes letters for amusement,
gives his opinion as to why writers
drink. He says: s#iEa -
How sympathetic you are in refus-
ing to prohibit poor devil to work
more than twelve hours day when il
is necessary to support his family.
Why, man, nature and natures God
will not allow him to do it for any
length of time. Have you never known
men OF fine mental calibre who would
force themselves or be forced to work
their brain from twelve to fifteen hours
day for awhile, and all at once they
would be missing from their post, and
when found would be taking whisky
debauch? People would say what a
fine, vigorous writer Mr.. - is; what
a pity it is he drinks. Why, sir, he
has oyerworked his brain-nature has
asserted its right. He has found that
while he could write fuently and
rapidly four weeks ago, that now he
writes with pain-that what he does
write he is ashamed of-and he seeks
a consolation and recuperation in an
other violation of nature-the flowing
bowl.

Pacific Coast Postal Ring--.EHorts to
Break it Up.

A late Washington dispatch says:
Luttrell and Stone of Missouri appear
ed before the House Committee on
Postoffices and Post-roads and sub
mitted statements and documentary
proofs in support of their proposition
for an investigation of Irregular pay
ments made to contractors by the
Postoffice Department, and for action
by Congress which will break up the
present system of straw bids and
worthless bonds. Luttrell informed
the committee that he was not there
to make war on the Postmaster-Gen-
eral, but to provide means of carrying
out Cresswell's avowed purpose of
economy, without subjecting the peo-
pie of California to several weeks
stoppage Of the mails, by awaiting
new advertisements, while the worth
lessness of the numerous bonds now
given shall be discovered. He and
Stone had filed q process with the
Controller of the Treasury against al
lowing any more irregular payments,
and now wished u change of the law
so as to require bidders bonds to be
approved by Judges of Courts or res
ponsible Postmasters. Subsequently
Luttrell had long interview with
the Postmaster General, at which
Cresswell assured Luttrell that he
would cooperate with him in all
efforts to break up the present Pacific
Coast postal ring, ana said he had
made an order that no bonds should
be accepted unless approved by first
class Postmasters, or without his per-
sonal examination, in which he re-
quested Luttrell's assistance, which
the latter willingly promised.
The contract for carrying the mails
between Yreka and Shasta, heretofore
awarded to J. p. Goddard, was to-day
awardedto Grant |. Taggart, at $4,000
per annnm the long-pending 'tie-bid
contest being thus decided by the
Postmaster-Gcne

4 New Poison.

The old stories of the skill of the ancents
in the use of poison, whereby death was
produced by the mere smelling OF flower,
is something more than paralleled by this
story of what II modern French chemist
has produced. At recent meeting of the
Paris scientific academy there was present
ed by one of its members, NJ Deville,
perfectly air-tight phial containing about
fifteen pounds of osmium The distin-
guished chemist, in making the prescnta-
ton, stated some interesting facts concern
ing the substance contained in the phia
They amounted to this Osmium is the
most powerful of all poisons. Twenty
pounds of it would poison the population
of the entire world. One thousandth part
of grain of osmic acid, set free in a vol
ume of air of hundred cubic yards, would
possess such deadly influence that all per-
sons respiring the air would be nearly kill
ed Worst fact Of all, no antidote to the
poison is known, and as to perform its
work it needs only to be breathed, not
swallowed, there would be no trace by
which the medical experts could define its
effects. Fortunately it is as difficult to
! produce as it is certain III execution, and
therefore beyond the reach of the ordinary
| posoner.
