DURABLE Soar BUBBLEs.-To obtain
soap-bubbles that Will show the changing
colors of the rainbow, the directions are as
follows: Take half pint of water that
has been boiled and become cold, and put
into it quarter of an ounce of CASTLE soap,
cut up fine. Put this into a pint bottle,
and set it in hot water in saucepan, ON
the fire; f ire; there LET It remain an hour or so,
now and then give it a good shaking till
the soap is dissolved. Let the fluid stand
quiet for the impurities and coloring mat
ter Of the soap to settle; then pour off the
fluid and add to it three or four ounces Of
glyeerine and your soap-bubble solution is
ready. In an ordinary way you may blow the
bubbles easy with a tobacco pipe, but if you
wish to attain scientific perfection, you had
better employ a glass pipe. BY adding a
larger quantity of glycerine you may make
these bubbles so strong that you can play
battledore with them.

THE SOCIAL S1MpLEToN.-Thisi is Charles
Reade's description of the heroine of his
novel called "a Simpleton."
Rosa Lusignan was a dark but dazzling
beauty, with coal-black hair and glorious
dark eyes, that seemed to beam with soul
all day long; her eyebrows, black straightish,
and rather thick, would have been majestic
and rather severe had the other features
followed suit; but her black brows were
succeeded by long silky lashes, q sweet oval
face, two pouting lips studded with ivory,
and an exquisite chin, as feeble as any man
could desire in the partner Of his bosom.
Person straight, elastic, and rather tall. A
poor French scholar, a worse German, a
worse English; an admirable dancer, an
inaccurate musician, good rider, q bad
draughts-woman; a bad hair-dresser, at the
mercy Of her maid; hot theologian, know
ing nothing; sorry accountant, no house
keeper, no seamstress, fair embroidress,
capita. geographer, and no cook.

Breath of the Nevada Upas.

Billy Anderson, the well-known lawyer,
who is now in this city, and who for some
years (since 1869 has been resident of
Eastern Nevada, gives startling account
Of the effects of the poisonous fumes from
the smelling furnaces there in use. He
speaks particularly of the town Of Eureka,
where these furnaces are very numerous
and scattered through the village. He says
that in approaching the place smell re-
sembling that of garlic can be detected at
distance Of at least three miles, Often the
fumes and smoke hang over the town in
clouds so dense as to resemble London
fog, and the smell of the poisonous gasses
is almost uncomfortable. Kittens and puppies
die soon after coming into the world, and it
is found impossible to rear these animals in
the place. A sheet of white paper laid in
the open air and left over night, will be
covered with thick white crust. The
arsenical fumes mingled with those Of lead
and other minerals, more or less affect the
health of all who reside in the town. Some
are but slightly affected, while others suffer
very severely. The poisonous atmosphere
of the place not only affects the physical
but also the mental health of many, causing

French Guiana Mines.

The Salt Lake Tribune publishes some
extracts from letter, received by a gen.
tleman i'll this city, from a friend now in
French Guiana. The writer was a former
resident of Utah, and his statements are
considered in every respect reliable. The
letter was written the latter part of Octo-
Der, and gives no very encouraging account
of the gold mines in that country.
"This is penal colony, under French
rule, and Cayenne City is the principal
place. French only is spoken, except back
in the country, where the language is
mixture of French and the native tongue.
Some mines, about thirty miles back of
Cayenne, are owned by a French company,
which after an outlay of $3.50, 0,000 are work
ing its claims with hydraulics and other
improvements, and make clean ups every
three months, counting the result by pounds.
This looks large, but is no more than many
claims, now worked i'll California are doing.
"Outside of this, there are companies
working claims by hand, that is by sluic-
ing, rocking, etc. They average about
So, so day to the man. One party of my
acquaintance, who has been up in the coun-
try since last June, has not made expenses
up to this time, yet hopes that better
ground may be found by going inland.
''On arriving at Cayenne, every one must
undergo close inspection and examina-
-, 4bn,, into flor rn17pI,
delay, they get permit by paying $40 in
coin, to go inland and prospect. This takes
from six weeks to two months, and the
prospector then must return to Cayenne,
and upon the payment of $500 more in
coin to the proper officials, surveyor with
a squad of cavalry is sent out, to lay out
the location paying all expenses. when the
miner must again return to Cayenne and
get the papers and permit to work the
ground Until all this delay and expense
is gone through with, no man can work
| foot of ground. Now, after packing your
tools from thirty to seventy miles and per-
haps months of labor to open your ground
and find water to work with, your claim
pays you only s3 day, as this is the aver
age yield. 1t will cost at the lowest esti-
mate $3.50 coin to reach this country and
geta title to ground. The climate is sickly,
as the rate of mortality in the French army
and among the conyiets proves There
may be paying mines further inland, but
until they are found | would not advise
any one to come ont here unless they have
at least 81, 900, which they wish to expend
in taking chances, which are not as good
at present as in many camps to be found in
