Discovery Of a Mine of Amber.

A large desposit of amber has been
discovered in the Kurische Half, near
the village of Schwarzort, Germany,
about twelve miles south of Memel. It
has been known for many years that
amber existed in the soil of the
Kurische Half, from the fact that the
dredgers employed by the government
for the purpose of clearing away the
shallow spot near Schwarwost that i'm
peded navigation had brought up
pieces of amber. these, however, were
appropriated by the laborers, and no
particular attention. was paid to the
matter till recently. Some speculative
persons have made an offer to the Ger
man Government, not only to do the
dredging required at their own ex-
pense, but also to pay daily rent pro
vided the amber they might find should
become their own property. The pro-
posal was accepted and the rent fixed
at twenty five thalers for each working
day. The dredging was begun by
four machines, worked by horses;
eighteen other dredges and two tug
boats, with about 1000 laborers, are
now engaged in the industry. The
ground covers an area of several miles,
and a yearly rent Of 1920 thalers is
paid by the company to the govern
mant

How George Looked.

The Boston Journal of Commerce
gives the following description Of
George Washington's personal appear
ance. washington was six feet two
inches in height, with very erect, ro-
bust, stalwart frame. He had fine
breadth of chest; long, well shaped,
and very strong arm; broad, large
hand, with grasp Like vice; and very
straight, well rounded limbs. He had
large head, set in a strong, full neck,
with commanding carriage. His hair
was brown or dark auburn; his eyes a
grayish blue, set far apart, ar '-;s COM
plexion ruddy, or ford. Stuart, who
painted him, declares that the sockets
of his eyes were larger than he had ever
met with before, and the upper part of
his nose broader and fuller. All of his
features were indicative of tho strong
est passions, although his Judgment
and great self command made him
seem different in the eyes of the world. !"

The Russian Expedition in Central
Asia.

On the 18th of May, the Russian Elk
petition, accompanied by Herr Won
Weidberg, the chief of the Tuahestan
Diplomatic Chancellerie, arrived at
Karshi, the Capital of the Principality
Of Hissar. They were courteously re-
celved by the Ameer and one of his
sons. who acts as Bey of the town of
Kermine. The Ameer readily permit
ted the members of the expedition to
visit every part of his dominions,
cautioning them, however, that the
country between Hissar and the ANU
was very unhealthy, and that the
neighbolhoods of. Shurvat and Kerki
were infested by Afghan robbers.
GIN the 18th of May, Herr Won Vein
berg was to have gone to Box
hara, the military and scientific mem
bers of the expedition intending to pro-
coed to Gusar to reconnoitre the main
road leading from Bokhara to Baisun,
and further on to Shirooat, on the ANU,
and to Dinau and Regar, in the south
ern valleys of Hissar. The expedition
were in hopes Of being able to traverse
and inspect the entire Principality from
Baisun to Kulyab and Baldjuan, and
from the Hissar hills to the mouth Of
the Surkhob. Lieut.. Vinshevski had
completed an accurate map of the roads
between Shahvisabsk, Kitab, and Kar-
shi. Her Won Schwarz had determined
the astronomical position of Samarcand,
Shaar, and Karshi.
