a Coon SToRY.-A boatman on the Mis-
sissippi river tells the following rich one
A poor chap was going down the river in
q ding out, and had been informed of a GER
tain locality called Rick's Bend which was
eighteen miles around and in one place
about hundred yards across. He was
advised to land at the narrow point and
drag his craft over, but he passed the spot
going down without observing it, and pad
ding on eighteen miles around, he struck il
on the other side. Landing at once, he
dragged his boat across, and went gliding
along down with a light heat, till he came
along within few PAGES of the spot where
he dragged across before. Thinking it
was new cut of, he went ashore and tug
Ged his boat over again. When be got
back 20 the river a second time he saunt-
cred around little 20 stretch himself. and
soon discovered an old newspaper, out OF
which he had taken his breakfast that
morning. 1t was now about suudown, and
as he had padded thirty-siX miles without
any fattering progress, he scuttled his dug
out with a hatchet, built a camp and wait
ed till next day for steamboat.

Bad dreams are frequently caused by
tight neck band, which prevents the blood
when it reaches the brain from flowing freely
back again. Compression of any part of
the body should be avoided at all times, but
especially during sleep. The lighter the
bed-clothes are the more refreshing and sweet
will be the repose. For this reason, COM
forters made of delaines, or other thin
woolen material, and stuffed with wool, are
far preferable to those made of cotton, and
warmer even than blankets, since the fbers
of wool are wider apart, and the same
weight goes farther in retaining the warmth
Of the body.

SorTH AFRICA iMoNDs.-Hon Theo- |
philus Shepstone has pointed out that Al
rica, south Of the equator, consists OF
great central, irregularly shaped basin, the
outer edge of which varies in height from
i 600 to 10000 feet above the level of sea.
and that through this rim the Orange River
to the southwest, and the Limpopo River to
the northeast, cut their way. 1t IS near
the exit of the former, from the enormous
basin. that the diamond fields lie, while gold
n large quantities Is being obtained from
n, northeastern district. The author of
this paper conjectuEes that this basin Is the
1-y bed OF n enormous inland sea, and that
the diamonds which are found in it are
formed By carbonic acid gas, elected BY the
