ShOddY Silks.

Ladies' are sometimes surprised at the
rapidity with which an apparently heavy
black silk will go to pieces. A recent
writer says this is often due to the fact
that it has been weighted. = This pro
cess, originally adopted for the purpose
of making up the loss occasioned by
ungumming, is now carried SO far as
sometimes to increase both weight ano
bulk three fold. The weight is added
by treatment with salts Of iron and as
tringents, salts of tin and cyanide, and
results In an entire change both of the
chemical and physical properties of the
silk. It is an agglomeration of foreign
matters without cohesion, burns like tin
der, and, worse than all, is said to be
known to have absorbed gases until
enough heat was caused to produce
spon taneous combustion. Ladies should
be on the lookout for such silks as these.

The Longevity Of TOads.

The longevity of toads is again under
discussion, owing to discovery made
near Orsay, Eng. In digging up gar
den some workmen unearthed two terra
Gotta vases, which they at first supposed
to contain treasure. On breaking them,
however, two live toads were found clad
in green velvet. This strange attire
showed that they must be at least 200
years old, as an ancient treatise on magic
and demonology mentions that at the
beginning Of the seventeenth century
sorcerers dressed up toads IN this man
ner for the achievement Of certain
charms. The same treatise tells the fate
of an unlucky citizen of scissors who
baptized toad, which he had gayly ca
parisoned for the ceremony, and was
burnt alive for the sacrilege.

Powerful Whisky Combination.

washington MAY q Cor. chicago Illnes.l
One OF the largest contracts that the
Treasury Department has ever under
taken, is to find out the work OF the
whisky rings of this country. There Is
seemingly vast combination on the part
of distillers to evade the law from
every part of the country come reports
of sales of liquors at prices sometimes
less than the tax itself. Thus far this
department has encountered nothing but
failure. The ring buys up or deceives
the agents of the Treasury. Secretary
Bristow is doubly convinced, now, that
a light whisky tax insures large reve-
nue.. and that heavy tax leads to light
revenue, illicit distilling and innumer-
able devices to defraud the government:

GIVEN BACK FROM THE DEAD.

The Strange, Romantic Story of Henson f.
Rains, Company *, Fifty-Sixth Illinois
VoIunteers-Ten Years on. an Island in
the Ocean.
Congressman Green B. Raum writes
from Harrisburg, Saline county, ILL.,, to
the Chicago Inter Ocean:
You, perhaps, have not forgotten the
loss of the Inflated steamer Gen. Lyon,
and the brave men who persisted with
her at sea, March 80, 1865. Many sol
diers lost their lives in the burning YES
sci, while others sought refuge in the re-
lentless waves and there found watery
grave. Of the many hundreds who were
aboard the Gen. Lyon, but twenty-eight
were known to have been saved; they
were picked up by the steamer Gen.
Sedgwick four hours after the burning of
the Lyon.
The non-veterans of the Fifty-sixth
Illinois Volunteers, 205 In number, were
passengers aboard the Gen. Lyon. Five
of those men were saved by the Sedgwick
and they reported the balance of their
comrades as lost. After the lapse of more
than tenfyears, however, one more of tue
passengers of that Inflated vessel turns
up at Guys Hospital, London, England,
and writes to his father near Golconda,
ILL.,, giving an account of himself. The
name of this man of misfortune is Henson
G. Rains; he belonged to Company K,
Fifty-sixth Illinois Volunteers. After
his term of service expired, he and his
comrades were started home for muster
out and were furnished transportation
on the steamer Gen. Lyon. Very soon
after sailing, the vessel encountered q
storm off Cape Hatteras, and In the midst
of it took fire and was totally destroyed.
Rains leaped into the sea and with Lieut..
Butler chung to a cabin door. They
drifted upon the pillows for four days
without food or drink, and more dead
than alive, were picked up by schooner
and left on an island, where Butler died
and Rains remained ten years In March
last he escaped aboard the British man
of-war Vengeance, and was taken to Lon
don, and being sick, was taken to Guy S
Hospital.
Application has been made to the Sec
rotary of War to have our Minister at
London requested by cable to have Rains
cared for and funds furnished him for his
return home.
The stories of Robinson Crusoe and
the hero Of "Foul Play" are probably
excelled in interest by the adventures of
this gallant soldier, who, after serving
his country for three years, and part1cl-
pating in the victories of the West at
Corinth, Vicksburg, Mission Ridge, the
Atlanta Savannah, and South Carolina
campaigns, fed from the deck of burn
ing ship in mid-ocean, to find refuge on
the raging sea, and, with an endurance
scarcely to be credited, resisted death
from cold, hunger and thirst, and at last
is about to be restored to his friends
after captivity of ten years on lonely
island. Surely, truth is stranger than
fiction.

A COUNCIL BLUFFS seven-year-old
girl had been told not to put pins in her
mouth-as she saw her mother and other
grown women do. But the little girl
thought she knew what she was about,
and had too much sense to swallow a
pin. Experimenting one day with a
parcel of pins in her mouth, one of them
got beyond her control. She did not
swallow it, for it stuck in her throat,
and made of her a very good little girl,
but her repentance Of that act came too
late. She did not touch any more pins,
but had a great deal of unpleasantness
with that particular one. After strug-
Cling with it two months and suffering
with an abscess under her chin, she had
the satisfaction one morning of seeing
the pin on her pillow, The abscess had
broken, she had coughed up the pin,
and she has been happy ever since. She
expected to be little angel, but is very
well satisfied to be very good little
girl instead.

The grain markets again attracted considera-
BILE attention from spectators. and quite an ex-
tensive speculative business was transacted.
rather unsettled feeling prevailed at times,
but generally speaking, the markets were quite
firm and hig CHER range of prices was established.
The outside quotations of the week were not
maintained throughout however, a rather
weaker feeling being developed during the
closing days of the week. The influences were
rather varying in their tenor although mainly
OF local speculative character as the move
ment was principally ON local speculative ac-
count. The receipts denote material decrease

that navigation is fairly under way. The June
option is the favored deal among spectators,
but there is also a fair inquiry for cash grain
for shipment and for delivery on matured and

alarmed at the evident frmness in the market
and were anxious to provide for their contracts.

closed at almost opening figures. Oats were
active and higher with an urgent demand, and
but comparatively few sellers. Prices advanced
2(0215c, and closed steady. Rye and barley
quiet but firm, with only light demand, and
but rather moderate offerings closing steady.
