Gin Drinking Extraordinary,

An old resident of this city about
seventy years of age, who has long been
known as frequenter of bar-rooms and
an excellent story teller, IS soid to have
been steady gin drinker for over sixty
years. The account Of the quantity of
gin he has drank is drawn from his own
statements. What is quite remarkable
is that he has never been seen intoxi-
Gated during all the time he has been
addicted to alcoholic drink He says,
however, that he believes gin will some
day prove to be the cause of his death
At three years of age he first tasted the
liquor. Gin and sugar, he says, were
III those days given the children, and
were considered beneficial to them. He
estimates that after he had formed a
habit for the drink, he drank up to the
present time an average Of two quarts of
gin week. For the information of
those who have no idea of the quantity
of gin man can drink and yet continue
to live, We have made an estimate of the
cost and quantity of the liquor imbibed
by this old resident. Doubling, some
what, the length of time he states he
has been addicted to gin, and calling
the period only fifty years, it is found
that at the rate of two quarts a
week he has drank a very little
less than fortyeight AMI half barrels
Of the liquor. Themoney expended for
this, the gin being reckoned at sixty
cents a quart, with simple interest FOR
half the time, amounts to ST, 800; and
this does not bcgin to reach the sum
which the old mans estimate would
make. The only indications Of this life
long habit to be seen about the man is
his very rubicund face Undoubtedly
many men in this city would be greatly
surprised should they make an estimate
Of the liquor they have drank.-NeS

statues. The Tritons are noble, grand
creatures; they and the semi-coIossal
Bacchus are not complete, but two
third statues; it is supposed that they
were finished in bronze The Tritons
are full Of life and vigor: over their
faces and bodies are leafs and scales.
Inc hneted massive hair, which stands
mp boldly around the foreheads, has
marks Of gliding The Tritons and the
Bacchus were undoubtedly painted, as
they have marks Of color on them. The
Bacchus has great, sleepy, hand
some, voluptuous face, and the
head, over which the right
arm IS thrown with a luxurious
stretch, is crowned with ivy leaves and
berries. The two statues Of Roman
girls are charming; it was the head of
one OF these statues that was found in
the drain, and which led to the discov-
cry Of the whole collection. They are
beautifully draped, and are evidently
portrait statues of two lovely young
women OF eighteen or twenty. There is
nice action and movement in them.
The male bust is beautifully finished;
the ear is like wax, il is so delicately
modelled and chiseled The female
bust, Venus, as it is called, has the
hair drawn up from the neck on t. the
top OF the head; the face is handsome,
but not sympathetic; the finish of exc
cution in it is also excellent.
THE JEWEL OF THE COLLECTION.
The beautiful young girl, however, Ia
the jewel of the whole collection. To
her L go at every succeeding visit, and
forget the merits Of others. She is
soul ptured in Pentelic, not Parian,
marble; the color is little colder, and
has not the large, sparkling crystals Of
the Parian. Age has given this statue
charming tint; it is semi-transparent il
some parts, and looks like delicate ala
baster. The ancients used chiefly Pa
rian and Pentelic marbles. The first
came from Mount Marpessus, on
the island of Paros; the latter from
Mount Pentelicus, near Athens. The
soft alabaster light on the surface of the
exquisite statue gives fesh-like ten
derness to the face and form [ forgot
to mention that the nose of this captl-
waiting young girl is slightly injured
not broken, but grazed off; it does not
hurt the expression of the face, however,
and IS of SO little matter that I hope no
restoration may be made. The sad
beauty of this sculptured girl haunts
me. It seems as if [ had known Or seen
her. No statue ] ever looked at has in
it such sympathetic loneliness. I look
into the long, melancholy eyes, the ex
quisite mouth, and feel sure that some
lovely creature of real life is there rep
resented, not an ideal, abstract goddess.
The body is nude, clothed in it's own
perfect loneliness.

Thad. Stevens Retires.

The famous four miller, Thad Stevens,
was sold at auction in San Francisco
last week for the moderate sum of 81
100. His history has been All eventful
one. In his younger days he was
broken to harness, was used as road
horse for some time, and could trot in
$40. He did not gain much fame until
he was five or six years old, since which
time his victories have been numerous.
In a race at Sacramento, mile heats
three In five, with Nell flaherty, Thorn
hill, and others, he made the fastest
time ever recorded in third heat
1 :439. At Oakland, III 1878, in four
mile-and-repeat race, his record of 7:30
is the fastest recond heat ever made.
His four mile -and-repeat race. when he
defeated joe Daniels and True Blue,
showed him to be a horse of remarka-
BILE power and endurance, as he had to
run sixteen miles before victory perched
ON his banner. At one time Thad
could have been sold for $4,000 or
$15, 200, but since his defeat by Katie
Pease last year it was plain to be seen
his running days were over. and conse-
quently his value has decreased. He
will probably now be kept exc lusively
for breeding purposes.

L had almost rather have lost my
money than my dog Saying this, he
stretched out his hand to grasp his
treasure. Nobag was to be found In
an instant he opened his eyes to his
folly.
6 He turned his horse and rode back
to the place where he had stopped. lie
saw the marks of blood as he proceeded.
but in vain did he look for his dog; he
was not to be seen on the road, At last
he reached the spot where he had rest
ed. The poor dog had crawled, all
bloody as he was, to the forgotten bag.
When he saw his master he still showed
his JOY by the wagging of his tail He
tried to rise, but his strength was gone;
and after stretching out his tongue to
lick the hand that was now fondllng
him in an agony of regret, he closed bis
eyes in death. o. '# t4a#
THE ANT s. INSTINCT.
:" / sailed from Philadelphia in the
winter of 1859. After being at sea
some ten days, [ discovered that we
had on board large number of ants
and cocl1roaches. Going through the
cabin one evening, our colored stewart
said to me, Cap'n ies' look heath.
He was standing in the pantly-door,
with lamp III his hand. On looking
into the pantry, I discovered on the
lower shelf a number of large black
ants III huddle, and half dozen by
themselves, and on the opposite side OF
! the shelf was some sugar which the
! auts did not seem to notice, which caus-
ed me to wonder; the reason, however,
soon became apparent. cockroach
made his appearance and went tor the
/ sugar, and the group of ants went for
him; and before he fairly g2t a taste OF
the sugar they had him down and killed
him IN less than minute. Then the
six that stood apart from the rest now
and bore him off the field The others
| remained on the watch, and as soon as
another approached they all pitched il
and made short work, as before. Inthe
meantime the pail bearers had returned,
and took this one off the fold as they
| had done the other. [ watched until |
had seen this enacted half dozen times,
and it was done AS regularly as it could
have been done by men. The ants kept
on killing the cockroaches until they
had ent rely cleared them out, which
took but short time .-a

Boiler Explosions i'm England.

The Pail Mall Gazette says 1.-The
list of persons killed by accident in
1874 is very heavy, and under one head
alone, namely that of boiler explosions,
the figures are startling. Mr. E. B.
Marten, G. E., chief engineer to the
Midland Steam Boiler Inspection and
Assurance Company, i'll his annual re
port for 1874, says that during the year
records were obtained of rs boiler ex-
plosions, causing the death of II and
the injuring of 1913 persons. These rec
ords cannot be presumed to contain all
the explosions in the United Kingdom,
as many are not heard of beyond their
own neighborhood. OF the 275 per
sons killed or injured 10 were owners,
masters, or managers, 80 were engine
men or stokers, 1873 employed at works,
about 20 of whom were women, and
about 80 bystanders, some dozen Of
whom were women and children. There
were inquests Or inquiriesin the 20 fatal
cases; and, being in Scotland, the 1e-
suit was not make public In nearly all
the other cases the verdict was accident
al death, and sometimes blame was at
tributed to those responsible, In one
case amounting to manslaughter. The
explosions happened, 10 at mills of va
nous kinds, IA at ironworks, and 43 at
mines and colleries, with the result that
81 persons are killed, and 100 injured.
The other explosions are ranged under
the several heads of chemical, domestic,
marine, builders, railway, clay, brew
cry, farm, and no information -

In consequence of the increase of
hostage on third-class matter, the Post
office Department is issuing two-cent
newspaper wrappers, the stamp being
the same as the present two-cent stamp.
The one-cent wrappers are continued for
papers weighing less than one ounce.
The two cent wrappers viii be sold to
postmasters for $2l.20 per !, 900; pro
portionally for smaller quantities. The
department. will also issue, upon requl--
sition, the No. and No. ungummed
envelopes in the denomination OF two
cents. The former will be sold for
sol so, and the latter for go per I,ooo.
It is not expected, however, that there
will be much demand for these, as elr-
culars seldom weigh over one ounce
each, with the envelope.
