For the past two weeks his health has been fail

since he was years old, and now he seems
happy only when ON the stage, and before an
audience.
About week ago Mr.. Fox became Impressed
with the belief that 1t was his duty to address

by judicious thumpings and antics diverted his
attention. This enraged him at nrst, hut he
soon became accustomed TO II, and looked upon
IL a. part Of the routine stage business.
On thanksgiving afternoon Mr. Fox played be-
fore 4 very large audience, and after the act In
which he took part was over, he went to his
hotel, the St. Omer, near the theatre, and
stepped out on tle balcony. While he was
there company Of boys "paNing soldier
passed. and Fox called to them to halt, and then
reviewed them. The boys chcered. a crowd
collected and the old actor becoming much ex-
cited hurried to his room and returned with
boots, hats, brushes and whatever he could
pick up, and began 10 throw them at the crowd.
hig policeman arrived, and fo4 hit him be-
was then taken into his roOrl. Last evening he
was cheerful and rational. He performed his

A Thief IMPERsoNATEs A GHOST. In
a little village in France dwells good
dame named Leremois, who believes
firmly in ghosts, and in all the old sup
erstitious notions. The other night,
hearing loud noise at her door, she de-
scended and found herself in the pres
ence of a ghost clad in white and crown
ed with a circle of gold. "Jesus, Mon
Dieu,' stammered the poor woman.
"None of your nonsense" CURLY re-
piled the phantom. 81 am the King of
the Moon, which will forth with appear,
Notwithstanding the bad weather, and
in order to make room for his beams
she must Immediately repair to the eel
lar, ''Go and quick about it," cried the
ghost. Trembling with terror, Madame
Leremois hurried down into her cellar
in which the phantom locked her up at
once. On the following morning the
house was found completely ransacked
and plundered. The ghost, whose name
was Levasseur, was arrested in wine
shop, where he was found slightly in
ebriated.

The SOURCE OF SALT.--The sea depends
on the disintegration of rocks on land for
salt. 1t does not originate in oceans and
seas. Rains wash it and hold it in so
luton as particles are liberated by vio-
lence, decomposition, and gradual action
of many natural forces. All streamlets
and rivers, therefore, are constantly
transporting salt to the sea- If there is
more than can be held in solution, then
1t accumulates in masses at very deep
points. Thus the salt mines of Portland
and the vast horizontal beds of pure
salt in Texas, as well as that noun
tain of rock salt in st. Domingo, were
collected at the bottom of ancient seas,
which are now dry land remote from
water. There are places In Africa where
the process of disintegration of salt from
rock is regularly going On, but there is
not water power enough to force it on
ward to the sea. Hence the particles are
spread abroad and mixed with the soil.
The negroes of Northern Africa having
discovered its distribution where there is
no water to dissolve in the ground leach
it. In that way they separate the salt.
Salt pervades the earth. 1t exists in
the grasses and most vegetable products
on which animals feed. In that way
they derive enough in most countries to
meet the demands of their natures. They
require as much as civilized humanity.
With them salt is necessary, as with
ourselves, for keeping the organs of VS.
ION In good condition. Stop the supply
and blindness would ensue.

They appear to have had something
of the same experience in northern New
York which we have been having in
Wisconsin. Reports indicate that there
has been no such snow storm and block
ade in that state for fifty years as dur
ing the first of the present month. The
Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg
Railroad had literally to be dug out,
almost its entire length, so that when
trains finally got through, it's sides re-
sembled one continuous marble quarry.
For twenty miles between Rome and
Watertown the snow lay packed ten feet
on a level, and SO solid that it had to be
pried up. An iron shovel wouldn't do
the work.
