STONES OF SIZE.

Some Of the blocks of granite used in
the construction of the treasury building
at Washington are the largest ever moved
in this country, and were all carried from
the eastern part of Maine. They we're
transported to Washington by water, and,
after their arrival there, moved by OK
power upon a double pulley system, dis
tance of two miles, to the spot where they
we're wanted for use. The work of moving
them was performed with compartiye ease,
not more than eight or ten yoke of oxen
being employed to move a block Of more
than seventy tons weight. The Auted
pillars, great numbers Of which are used in
the building, are forty feet long and weigh
fifty tons, at least. The largest blocks,
thirty to forty feet square and thirty feet
thick, weighed upward Of seventy tons.
The facility with which these large blocks
were moved and fixed in their places was q
source Of wonderment, and seemed to ad-
miring spectators TO be the perfection Of
mechanical skill and ingenuity And yet,
how insignificant the achievement when
compared with the triumphs of ancient art.
In the foundation of the great temple of
the sun, at Balbec, may still be seen. even
in the second course, stones which are
thirty.seven feet long and nine feet thick +;
and under these, about twenty feet from
the ground, three stones which alone occu-
py one hundred and eighty-two feet in
length by twelve in height. These three
stones are estimated to weigh nine hun
dred tons each.
But we read Of an Egyptian idol-temple,
Baris, far surprising this, in which there
was a sanctuary composed of Il single block
of granite sixty feet square. This is the
largest and heaviest stone mentioned in
history.

Although omnibus companies generally
pay fair dividends, the vehicles themselves
are not regarded By passengers as sure
roads TO foftune. Yetit seems that, under
certain circumstances, an omnibus may
prove a wonderful Eldorado TO its fortunate
occupants. Quite recently this occurred to
a lady travelling in one of these conveyances
to the City Road, London, who had wealth
thrust upon her in singularly agreeable
manner. During the journey Aashily-
dressed young man, Of dubious appearance,
sat 10y her side, but got out before it came
to her turn for Slighting. When she did
alight, what was her horror TO find that her
purse, containing, luckily, only twelve shil-
ings was gone In vain was search made
by the conductor in the straw; the missing
article could not be found. Without any
doubt, the fashily y-drcssed young man had
picked her pocket il trdnsilt and made OF
with the proceeds. So said the conductor,
and the majority Of the passengers agreed
with bis opinion. But the L,dy, thinking
ohS Ahi6he hHhC bttn Aul'llhcus hHJlu
searched her pocket. The purse did not
meet her fingers, but something else did.
withdrawing her hand, she produced a
massive ring, set with what appeared TO be
white crystal. After this proof there could
be little doubt that her Aashy fellow-trav-
eler had stolen the purse SO the lady had
nothing for it but to ask friend who had
accompanied her, to pay both their fares,
and to resign herself to the loss When re-
counting the affair to her husband that
night, she produced the ring, which was
probably considered worthless bit of Bir-
mingham ware, since thieves do not gener-
ally sport much jewelry. Yet the stone was
wonderfully brilliant, and the cutting very
perfect, while the setting appeared some-
what heavy for brass. Altogether they
were so struck by its appearance, that they
next day took the gewgaw to leading jew
eler' What would he give for itp After
some inspection he offered ESQ, the stone
being a remarkably fine brilliant and the
setting pure gold. The above story is lit
erallyan absolutely true, the incident hav-
ing occurred within the last ten days, and
the ring being still in the lady's posses
sion.

A BREATHING CAVE.

In the range Of the mountains in West
eEn North Carolina known as the Fox
Range" most singular phenomenon ex-
lists. tbs n breathing cave" In the
Summer months a current of air comes
from it so strongly that person can't walk
against it, while in Winter the suction is
lust as great. The cool air from the noun
tains in Summer is felt for miles in a direct
line from the cave. At times a most un-
pleasant oder is emitted upon the current
from dead carcasses of animals sucked in
and killed by the violence, The loss OF
cattle and stock in that section in Winter
is accounted for in this way. They range
too near the mouth of the cave, and the
current carries them in. At times. when
the change from inhalation begins, the air
is filed with various hairs of animals; not
frequently bones and whole carcasses are
found miles from the place The air has
been known to change materially in tenn
perature during exhalAtion from quite cool
to unpleasantly hot, whitening vegetation
within reach, and accompanied by u terri
BILE roaring, gurgEng sound, a pot boiling.

take place. 1t is feared by many that vol

as little unexpected.

The majority Of the boats used IN tho
fisheries are ordinary fshing.bOats three
parts decIsed over, and carrying one mast
with an ordinary lug-sail. They are from
eighteen 70 thirty feet in length, and are
manned by a crew Of four or FIVE men, one
of whom is specially engaged for the pur-
pose Of hauling, while the rest are divers.
In some cases, the men own their own
boats, but generally they are hired for the
season, which extends from June to the
middle Of October. No wages are paid /;
Che remuneration consists in an equal share
of the produce of the fishing. The prof
its of a good diver reach as highas forty
pounds season. Diving is practiced from
a very early age up to forty years, beyond
which few are able to continue the pur-
suit. II does not appear, however that
practice has any tendency to shorten life,
although, as the diver approaches forty, he
is less able to compete with his youngerand
more vigorous brother. The time during
which Syrian diver can remain under
water depends, Of course, on his age and
training. Sixty seconds is reckoned good
work, but there are rare instances Of men
who are able to stay below eighty seconds.
The men on the coast, however, make ex-
traordinary statements as to the length of
time their best hands are able to remain
under water, and gravely assert that eight
and ten minutes are not impossibilities.
For the benefit Of the curious in such mat
ters, we give a description of the manner Of
diving The diver - naked of course
with an open net around his waist for the
receptacle of the prizes. seizes with both
hands an Oblong white stone, to which is
attached rope, and plunges overheard.
On arriving at the bottom, the stone is
deposited at his feet, and keeping hold of
the rope with one hand, the diver grasps
and tears off the sponges within reach,
which he deposits in the net. He then, by
series of jerks to the rope, gives the sig
nal to those above, and is drawn up---very
thankful to once more breathe his native
air, one would imagine.

A LOST FATHER.

Even along the Valley of the Willamette
(Oregon) may be found persons around
whose lives cling dark cloud of romance
stranger far than half the fiction written
in the yellow covered novels of this sensa-
tional generation. We have just learned Of
one most strange, queer and unnatural, and
which runs as follows:
About twenty-five years ago man nam
ed William Blair left St. Stephens Parish,
in the Province of New Brunswick, leaving
two of his children behind him. No one
knew whittier he had wandered or seemed
to care. The little children, both girls,
were cared for by the friends until they
wearied, and next went us parish charges,
where they remained until able to earn
their own living by labor, which they did
For nearly twenty-five years not word
was heard by them of their father, whose
remembrance had almostfaded by the lapse
Of years. During this time Mr.. Blair wan
dered throughout almost every State in the
Union, at last coming TO halt onthe banks
Of the Willamette, near the setting sun.
He was an old man, his sun Vas low, and
year ago it set to rise again on the morn Of
that great Day of Judgment. His daugh-
ters had passed into womanhood, the eldest
marrying a gentleman named Warters, tax
ing up home in Hainesville, Mass. Dur
ing the past year Judge Hurley, of Lafay-
cite, and p. A. Wood. of this city, succeed
ed ia asceItaining the whereabouts Of these
children, to whom the old man had willed
all his property, it they could be found; and
informing them OF the fact, About ten
days ago Mr. Warters and wife arrived in
this city on the way to their new home up
the valley. The other sister is soon to fol-
low, and thus by strange affair in the tide
Of time they will assemble beneath the roof
around whic h clings strange memories Of
the past their girlhood lives and the pres
ence Of a father whose spirit has passed be-
yond the clouds.

Not long since German wasriding along
near Sansoat street, near Sacramento, when
he heard pistol shot behind him, heard
the whizzing of a bah near him, and felt
his hat shaken. He turned and saw a
man with revolver in his hand, and took
off his hat and found fresh bullet hole in
it.
"Did You shoot at me 2" asked the Ger
man.

POISONOUS Liquors.

A Mr.. Atcherly has recently testeda large
number Of samples of malt liquors in Eng

that poison in most of them. The liquor
acts, in his opinion, upon the lead or COM
position piping used by beer retailers for
connecting the barrel with the beer engine
in the bar, and in cases where the beer has
been for some time incontact with the met

considerable. Hence, l would caution
