THE WONDERS OF FLEA.-When a
flee is made to appear as large as an
elephant, we can see all the wonderful
parts of it's formation, and are as
tonished to find that it has coat of ar
NOR much more complete than ever
warrior wore, and composed of strong;
polished plates, fitted over each other,
each plate covered like tortoise shell
and where they meet hundreds of
strong quilts project, like those on the
back of the porcupine and hedgehog.
There is the arched neck, the bright
eye, the transparent cases, the piercers,
to puncture the skin, a sucker to draw
away the blood, ,.six long-jointed legs,
four of which are folded on the breast ,
all ready at any moment to be thrown
out with Tremendous force for that
Jump which bothers one when they
want to catch him, and at the end OF
each leg hooked claws. to enable him
to cling to whatever he alights upon.
A flea can Jump a hundred times its
own length, which is the same as if a
man jumped six hundred feet; and he
can draw load two hundred times his
own weight.

how THEY WALTZ AT rBT-1l.BAY.
From the Cincinnati Times. !

People may say that waltz is waltz,
but it is mistake; as much as to say
that dog is dog; for there are dogs
and dogs, and values and waltzes.
With one person it is the poetry of mo-
ton; with another it is about as awk-
ward performance al putting yourself
upon a level and going through the mo-
ton of running up stairs would be. A
Kentucky girl is natural waltzer, and
she does it with charming chic and
abandon. An Ohio girls waltzing is
easy, graceful and "melodious." +
she happens to come from Cincinnati
and across the Rhine, she swings dream
lily round and round in the endless
"Dutch waltz If she comes from
Chicago, she throws her hair back,
jumps up and cracks her heels together,
and carries off her astonished partner
as though simeon had struck him, and
knocks over all intervening obstacles in
her mad career around the room. If
she is from Indiana, she creeps slowly
and timidly up to her partner, as though
she would like to get into his vest pock-
ct, and melts away with ecstacy as the
witching strains of the I" Blue Danube"
sweep through the hall. If she is from
Missouri, she crooks her body in the
middle like a door-hinge, takes her
partner by the shoulders, and makes
him miserable in trying to hop around
her without treading on her NO. 3 shoes.
If she comes from Michigan, she aston
ishes her partner by now and then work
ing in touch of the double-shufile, Or
bit of pigeon-wing, with the waltz
step and if she comes from Arkansas,
she throws both arms around his neck,
rolls up her eyes as she floats away, and
is heard to murmur, "Oh, hug me,
John |" $50 s1a

GREAT SALT LAKE GRADUALLY EN-
LARGING.

Silliman's Jou,nalfor September gives
on authority of the Utah Mining Jour
nal, some very remarkable statements in
regard to the level of the great Salt Lake.
The valley was settled in 1847. The
level of the lake is now twelve or fifteen
feet higher than it was then. From 1847
to 1852 there was no noticeable change.
From 1852 to 1856 there was rise to
the extent of about six feet above the
lowest level of the first mentioned year.
From 1856 to 1861 gradual subsidence
took place, until, in The fall of 1851, the
level was two feet below the lowest
mark of 1852, and the lake was con-
tracted to about three-fourths of its
area in that year. But from the spring
of 1861 to 1868 there went on steady
rise; the lake extended to one and a
half its area in 1861, and its surface
stood twelve feet above the earlier level.
Since that time the rise and fall have
been about equal, the tendency being
on the whole to gain, the fluctuations
not exceeding two feet. As to thepros-
pect for the future, it is stated that the
humidity OF the atmosphere annually in
creases as the area Of cultivation be-
come greater, and, as consequence,
the evaporation becomes less. On the
other hand, the mountain streams are
steadily enlarging. Thousands of acres
of farming, meadow, and pasture lands
have been submerged along the eastern
and northern shores of the lake, and
many square miles of valuable lands
still occupied by the farmers will be
completely inundated should the waters
rise but few inches above the level of
the past five years, unless protected by
levees. A monument has been recently
placed near the shore of the lake to in
dicate the fluctuations of its level. This
will he watched with great interest for
the next few years.

The "OuTRAdE" SroR1Es.-The South

in convention at Columbia, on Septem-
Der 10th, appointed committee to in
auire what atrocities had been commit

report "We have failed to ascertain a
single case in the State, of an inquiry,
outrage, or wrong committed during the
present year by white men upon ne
groes, in the slightest degree attributa-

@ A lady went to Dutch corner
grocery, the other day, for some trifing
thing. The goods wanted were on the
very top shelf. The woman placed a
box on chair and climbed up to the
shelf, at the evident risk of her limbs.
Her husband sat by the stove, playing
with small dog. Lady said: Why
don't you make your husband reach it?"
A look of indefnate contempt came
into her face as she replied: "My hus-
band! I got awfully sucked in NIT dat
man. He knows nothing but to play
NIT dog"

WHAT IS PERSONAL MAGNETISM.
magnetic temperament, as nearly as any
thing is the temperament of the artist,
of genius; and yet it may not be asso-
ciated with, may be radically opposed
to art or genius. We are usually SO
much under its influence, if affected ct
all, that we do not pause to think Of its
composition. If we should think, We
should find that the natural magnet is
neutrality-suspicious., intense, individ-
ual, independent, strong Of will, gen.
orally imaginative, egotistic, self-conf-
dent, inclined to be aggressive. Com
monty large degree of discipline goes
with it; for the conquering faculty is in
clined to conquer first at home, and
covers sharp angles and sharp energies
with the velvet and satin of social ameni-
ties. But for certain nself-containment,
magnetism, so active and penetrating in
its force, might escape and waste itself;
and there is need of it for many ends.e
She who is spontaneously magnetic is
hard to affect magnetically. As rule,
she has had her erotic fortune in COM
mand, and this is rare and lucky toa
degree. Thus is she protected from in
ward amorous assaults, which, more than
those without, place her in the power Of
the dearest enemy. If the relation. of
the sexes be stage, it is unfair; since
man, in attacking woman, has his secret
ally-herself-within the gates, TO
whom he looks for support, and .at
whom he counts at every escalade.
Impartial as the contest may be, it is
always two against one, The GALAXY for
October.

GRASSHOPPER SURGERY.

Grace Greenwood, in writing from
Colorado, say it was expected that we
should have fine exhibition of farm and
garden products, but man proposes and
The grasshopper disposes. He has dis
posed of everything green, and now, as
though acting upon the scriptural asser-
ton that " all flesh is grass" has taken
to regaling himself On his brother hop
per. It is shocking to discover what
remorseless cannibals these small crea-
lures are. If one becomes disabled in
the slightest degree his friends and rela-
tives rally around him in his extremity,
and generally help themselves to what
ever is eatable. They generally go first
for the brain, as the choice morsel, cum
hingly abstracting it from it's cells; and
vet he sometimes lives on for time,
and hardly seems to miss that rather i'm
portant organ. The younger ones seem
the most voracious and rapacious, but,
while they make fatal charge, stout,
grave looking elders will stand about,
watching their old friends dismise, evil
dently specializing as to how he will
Z" cut up" They are in no haste but
are always in at the death. The other
day whiled away half hour in one of
the summer houses near the springs in
watching the proceedings of set of
these small ruflians toward a disabled
comrade. He had lost a leg-how I
need not state. "Thou canst not sayI
did though, if for the sake of scien-
tifc investigation, brought myself to
perform that little surgical operation
what harm? 1t is surprising to see how
easily gaasshopper's leg is detached.
It seems always to be semi-detached
member. The creature don't seem to
mind the loss much, and will go on eat
ing as though grasshopper's legs "grew
on every bush" This one evidently
did not realize his misfortune till he
was attacked, and found that he could
neither walk nor fly. How he was be-
set, to be sure! First brisk young
fellow, with a cool business air of
surgeon, began tapping his rather dis
tended stomach, another probed him
about the joint whence the leg had
been removed; third set himself to
dissect the amputated limb. One slim
starveling began browsing on the deli
aate tips of his long wings; then big
bustling old wretch stepped forward and
interviewed him by deliberately bor-
ing into his brain; next, yellow-jacket
settled on him and stung and sucked
here and there, while, to add insult to
injury, two or three spiteful black ants
pierced through the joints of his cuirass
and worked their way into his vitals.
He fought bravely-it was astonishing
to see how pluckily he stood up against
his fierce assailants, like miniature
Moulton. He kicked furiously with
his one sound hind leg "against the
pricks" of the wasp. He struck out and
gesticulated wildly with his arms or
fore legs-his moustache or attenn@
bristled with defiance-but the great
congregation of his foes was too much
for him, though he did not cease to
struggle while anything remained to
struggle with. They did not leave
him till he was reduced to the mere
shell of grasshopper.

UIt is not generally known that
nearly 200 people in New York city rise
at day break for the purpose of repair
ing to the slaughter-houses for drinking
the warm blood of animals. These peo-
pie are not vampires, but consumptives,
who find in the blood the means of pro-
longing existence. One lady, who has
followed the practice of drinking warm
blood for several years, contends that
it has prolonged her life fifteen years,
and has become an absolute luxury.
At first the taste is said to be repulsive,
but subsequently the desire for the en-.
sanguined fluid becomes intense, and its
good effects make it commendable to
invalids. The Irish peasantry are very
fond of baked blood, which is placed in
large shallow pans and baked until it is
Drowned. 1t is notorious that con-
sumption is disease almost unknown
among these people, and, perhaps, Vel
peau and other famous physicians, who
have recommended the drinking of
blood, have taken the hint from the
baked blood of the Irish peasants.

South, in the same official and decisive
manner, have done the same thing.

A HINT FOR THE HARD TIMES.

Notwithstanding collector, as he en-
tered the store of one who had acquired
the character of hard customer.

was the reply.
81 am not speaking of the weather,
but your bill, replied the collector in IL
loud key.
"It would be better if We had little
rain"
"Confound the rain," continued the
collector, and raising his voice, added:
Have you the money to pay this bill ?"
Beg your pardon, I'm hard of hear
ing. I've made it rule not to lend
funds to strangers, and I really don't
recognize you.
I'm collector for the Daily Ertinguish-
er newspaper, sir, and l have bill
against you, persisted the collector, at
the top of his voice, producing the bill,
and thrusting it in the face of the
debtor.
"I've determined to indorse bills for
no one; you may put your bills back
into your pocketbook; I really can't
endorse il"
"Confound your Endorsements! Will
you pay it?
"You'll pay it, no doubt. sir; but
there's always risk about these mat
ters, you know; SO must decline it.
"The money must be mine to day"
"Oh, yes ninety days, but l would
not indorse bill for you at a week; so
get out of my store. 1t is seldom that
am pressed upon for an endorsement
even by q friend; on the part of a
stranger, sir, tits inexplicable. Do not

guisher office, indorsed: $50 dreadfully

The BIRTHPLACE OF JAMES LICK. The
Wrightville pa Star says: 1T seems
that York County has some claim upon
James Lick, the benevolent California
millionaire. The Hanover Spectator
says that Mr.. Lick was born in 1896, at
Fredericksburg, Lebanon County, Penn
sylvania, and served his apprentice
ship at organ-making with Adam Ault,
in Hanover. Some of the old citizens
still remember Mr.. Lick as quite a
mechanical genius, but very eccentric in
his manner. He is now in his 18th
year and has bestowed all of his I'M
mense fortune upon art and charitable
objects" .'-

Too MANY STATES AND COUNTIES.
ferring the other day to the multiplica-
ton of offices, and alleging that this is
the main cause of the high taxation, the
Bee suggested that instead of carving
territory into more states and counties,
consolidation should be the rule; and
said that New England might be squeez-
ed into one state, New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania into another, and SO
on all over the nation, and held that
here in California several counties
should be rolled into one. And now
comes the San Jose Mercury, reasoning
thus
The tendency to multiply state and
county governments-thereby swelling
the ranks of the grand army of Office
holders to devour the substance Of the
people and pile up the burdens of taxa
tion-is one of the crying evils of the
times. Two states ought to do for the
Pacific coast, one for the New England
States, two each for the Middle and
Western, and three for the Southern
States. We have three times too many
Office holders in all departments OF gov
ernment. We have too much red tape
and too high salaries. The whole sys-
tenn needs simplifying and economizing.

The proprietor after interlining lit
tie profanity, said that the obituary
would do, and told me to state at the
bottom that I was personally respon-
sible for it and could be found on the
street at all hours of the day" H.. -
"Why," said I, "won't have to be
in the Office occasionally"
"Oh, yes" said he, that is just a
fgurative expression" ,t.
Then I signed my name to the obit-
uary which contained enough SANDER
to subject me to be butchered thou
sand times.
Then the proprietor made me follow
him. .
He led the way to the graveyard
where we had put johnson away.
"This," he observed, is the Editors
Cemetery. Read them boards, said he.
I began" Tim Singles, age %;
late editor Roa oarer; bowie kife." Get.

etc., until I had read forty of them,
and all had died violent deaths, except
one. Only one died like Christian
and the proprietor informed me that
/" he didn't have any editorial ability"
"Now," continued the proprietor,
backing up against tombstone, we
run live newspaper here. We make
it hot and lively"
eyes," rejoined glancing around
the cemetery, cit may be live news
paper, but notice it has several dead
editors"
Pshaw' was his answer, what is
life compared to independent journal
ism ?"
I had to give in.
How long, I enquired, "does the
average editor live here ?"
"Two or three weeks, was his reply,
I was thinking Of my gentle Polly
who might never again behold me with
the bloom of health on my cheek.
Then dropping one huge tear to the
memory of sll them departed editors,
I walked back gloomily. At the office
I was handed a dictionary with the re-
mark
"We use this altogether. Webster
don't express our ideas"
The " dictionary" didn't have de-
cent word in it.
The office was we'll fortified. The
broom was half pitchfork and we poked
the fire with Spanish stilletto.
At midnight arose from my couch,
took some chalk and wrote on the floor,
MY darling Stufflest,eet, au reroir !
Here's my resignation. Take your

ploy Sieve Lowerey's ghost to run it,"
