Mica was first introduced into Eu-
rope from Russia, and was then known
as Muscovy glass. The name is derived
from the Latin mico, to shine. The most
extensive mica mines now worked are
situated in Dhoba and Dunwee, in India,
one in Canada, one in New Jersey, and a
very ancient one in North Carolina.
There have been small beds of mica
found in other sections of the United
States, but they have not been worked
to any great extent.

Police Court Clerks Behind the BARS
HOtp u Little BtLL tvas Collected.

An uncommon neat piece OF stratagem
was resorted to after Court hours this
morning by John Bender, Clerk of the
Police Court, in order to collect an old
debt of $15 from his two Deputy Clerks,
John OShaughnessy and John Osten-
dorf.
In the usual colloquy that arises there
every morning, Mr.. Bender remarked to
his clerks, under the circumstances
"You had better pay me what you owe
me-" whereupon Lieutenant Spaeth, who
happened to be in the Office at the time,
responded, "Give me half and Pll collect
the money for yOu."
The response was acquiesced in, and
accordingly Lieutenant Spaeth COM
menced work by collaring the two clerks
and giving them quarters in one of the
cells of the Ninth-street Station-house.
Here they remained some thirty minutes,
when, their confinement becoming mo-
notonous, the victims, after short coun-
Gil of war, promptly handed over the if
teen dollars to the Lieutenant.
The money was accordingly taken up
to Mr.. Bender. Atterward the matter
was heartily laughed over, and the two
clerks informed that the whole thing was
joke, which they are trying to believe.
