Some Embarrassing Questions.

A GENTLEMAN who recently passed over
the old Central Railroad from Rochester
to Syracuse relates an amusing incident
that came under his observation before
reaching Auburn. An officer was on the
train, having in charge two convicts des-
tined for Auburn Prison. The hands of
the convicts were free, and they sat oppo-
site one another with irons on their ankles,
the officer occupying a seat with one Of
them. Presently a gentleman came in,
whose hooked nose, old-fashioned silk hat
and general seedy appearance indicated
inquisitiveness, came along and took the
vacant seat beside the convict, not MOTTO
ing the irons. The convict was an intclli-
gent fellow and eyed his fellow-passenger
closely. Presently the stranger said:
"Pretty slow train this" Convict sup
pose it is rather slow when one is in a
hurry. Stranger-les; you going down
the road far9 Convict-No, sir; I stop off
at Auburn. Stranger-Ah! Do you live
there? Convict have not formerly.
Stranger-But you think of taking up
your residence there, do you? Convict
am thinking seriously of it; yes, sir.
Stranger-What business are you in, if l
may ask? Convict expect to be in the
employ Of the State. The stranger saw
the irons and the sell about the same time
and calculated: "Oh! All, yes, see,"
and went into the next car.

A Rich Mine.

A GENTLEMAN who formerly did bust
ness in this city gives us a few interesting
facts in regard to the great mine at Kern.
vile, owned by Senator Jones. The mine
is located near the little town of Kernville,
and was opened some seven or eight years
ago 1t underwent variety of tluctua-
lions until 1t fell entirely into the hands of
the present owner. When Mr.. Jones pur-
chased all the interest outstanding-abou
q year since-he at once commenced to
unfold its treasures. He sank deep shaft,
ran wines and slopes in various direc-
tons, made convenient levels and cross
cuts at various points, and prospected the
entire ledge for two miles and halt, and
found it rich in gold at every point. 1t
has an average breadth of eighty feet, and
the main shaft has been sunk 400 feet-all
the way in ORE The ledge varies in value
from twenty-five dollars to $500 per ton.
1t is now estimated by the men in the
mine that there is ore enough in sight to
furnish work for the stamps now in opera
ton for ten years. The mill and hosting
works are pronounced the best in Calitor-
MIA. An eighty-stamp mill, with every
improvement known to modern mining
science, is kept in constant operation
never ccasins either night or day-and it
is turning out vast amount OF bullion.
OF course it is only known to the proprie-
tor and his chief operators how much the
yield is; but if we strike an average of the
ore, and allow one ton a DAY to each stamp,
it would give gross yield from this mine,
with the present works, Of $4,500,OO0.-

Personal Habits of the Japanese,

A NATIONAL prediction for the bath
may mislead the reader into the belief that
the Japanese are the clcanest nation under
the sun. This is far from being the case.
They are the most tubing people, but
while, among the petty trading and lower
classes, they pay every attention to the
cleanliness of their bodies they pay none
whatever to that of their clothes. The
thickly-padded winter garments will he
worn without being washed, not for days,
or weeks, or years, but generations. The
patched and wadded garment covering the
body Of small urchin in the street proba-
bly, has descended to him from his grand
father, through succession of uncles and
bigger brothers; and next winter, if lie
grows out of it by then, it will pass on to
a smaller member Of the family. As long
as they will hold together are these clothes
kept. From constant patching there may
be at last but little OF the original outer
garment left; but the thick cotton wad-
ding is the same that for day after day
through winter, winter after winter
through generations, has been worn with
out once being cleaned. But this is not
the worst. While the clothes are being
worn they are, at all events, exposed to
the purifying influence of the fresh air !;
but as the cold season passes away the en-
tire winter wardrobe OF family is packed
away altogether in some room, and there
all through the heat of the summer it lies
in foul heap Of trowsiness and impurity.
Smallpox is the scourge of Japan, and
there is no doubt that to this practice it
owes in IA great measure its yearly appear
ance and its virulence.-1emDle Bar.

Curious Vital Statistics.

DR.. Schwalbe has collected the vital sta
tistics of Berlin in a curious way, and
gives the following result: THE death
rate among those living in the cellars of
Berlin was Is and fraction over per 600 !;
among those living on the ground floor, %
per 1000; among those living on the first
floor Tor what is generally called the Sec
ond story), 81 and a fraction among those
in the next story above about the same,
but little higher rate; among those on
the third floor Fourth floor, over % per
1000, and in the highest story % per 1 900.
The situation of the living apartments
would, from these returns, appear to de-
termine the death rate Of the inhabitants;
yet it is only one Of many influences.
Those who live either in cellars or garrets
in crowded cities are the very poor, who
are subjectto great privations-thosew whom
vice has ruined or disease has weakened.
They are not only at a physical disad-
vantage when compared with those who
live on the ground floor or in the second
story, but when attacked by disease they
are too poor to pay for medical attendance
and treatment which help to reduce the
death rate of their more fortunate neigh
bors. Damp cellars and badly-ventila,ed
garrets help to increase the death rate in
these places, but the predetermining cause
of both the death rate and Of the situation
Of the living rooms is the poverty OF the
occupants"

Disease a Help to the Intellect.

In his "Enigmas of Life" Mr.. Greg,
the well-known English cssayist, takes
the ground that bodily pain and disease
are not only compatible with, but may di-
rectly contribute to the lottiest efforts Of
the intcllcct-somctimes positively en-.
HANGING its powcrs-that the effect ofsome
disorders and of certain sorts of pain upon
the nerves is to produce cerebral excita-
ton, and that the stimulus thus commu-
nicatcd to the material organ of thought
renders it for the time capable of unusual
effort. MIR. Greg asserts that men under
the stirring influence of severe pain are
capable of degree of imaginative and
ratiocinative brilliancy which astonishes
themselves and all who have known them
only in ordinary moods of comfort; torpid
faculties becoming vigorous and spark
ling, forgotten knowledge being recov
cred, and marvellous CLEANS of insi ght be-
ing vouchsafed them. The wonderful elo-
quence of Robert Hall is believed to have
been greatly owing to the stimulating in
fluencc of a terrible spinal malady. DR..
Connolly mentions a gentleman whose
mental faculties never reached their full
power except under the irritation of a Bills
ter. Such instances as these are regarded
by Mr.. Greg as fully corroborating his
theory

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Thomas Moore, the poet, stopped for
several weeks, nearly century ago, In
house in Norfolk, Va. The building is
still standing, and the inhabitants of the
city talk of celebrating its centennial.
The man who writes those funny
things for the Vicksburg Heruld is the
same man who does the like for the Dc

and he sometimes calls himself IN

Prince Bismarck speaks excellent En-
glish without a word of slang, which is
more than can be said of most Americans
or Englishmen. He uses strange words
sometimes in speaking our language, but
they are always found logically correct.

airy line between that State and Maryland,
and owing to his death the settlement of
the question will probably have to be post

MIR. Andrew johnson, son of the late
ex-Prcsidcnt johnson, denies all knowl-
edge of the reported insurance on his
fathers life, though he says he has not yet
been able to look over all of his fathers

estimated at between $4,000 and $175, 900.
Mr.. Bancroft asks no mercy, and he

the end of his gigantic history of the
United States, he is not done with it. On
the contrary, it is announced that he will
soon begin to issue new edition, lie
has already rewritten the first volume,
and will make extensive alterations in
succeeding volumes. The history was
undertaken forty years ago, and in the
meantime the author has gained in wis

INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.

Sixteen Texas steers on bender made
things lively at Woonsocket, r. l., the
other day. All were shot before anyone
was seriously injured.
A man living on farm near Knox
vile, Tenn, shot and wounded crane the
other day, and as he approached the crane
it struck him in the eye with its bill,
pecking out the eycball. OF course the
crane did not live many minutes after
performing that feat, but the unfortunate
man suffers considerably and the whole
side of his face is swollen.
While w. H. McAllister, of West
Enosburg, VT, was at work in his bayfield,,
four feet long, surrounded by young ones,
which at once disappeared into their
mothers mouth. The snake was killed
eighty three snakes, each four inches long,
which were all dispatched.
A tramp nearly met his fate in tlue
of the Methodist Church, at Stratford,
Conn, the other night. A lady living near
heard sounds of distress proceeding from
the church, and a prompt investigation
discovered the tramp stuck fast, head
downward, IN the cold-air f1ue of the fur
mace, where he would have died if he had
not been promptly relieved by breaking
open the tiue.
"A man was seen running along the
streets at Hartford, the other night, biting
hitching-posts, and other things which
came in his way, and was arrested by six
policemen, after desperate struggle. On
being locked into cell he seized the iron
bars in his teeth and shook them violent
ly, after which he took the edge of a pail
in his mouth and held it for half an hour,
in spite of all attempts to get it away from
him. He was thought to be suffering
from hydrophobia.
Recently a farmer living near the
town of Albert Lea, Mimi, found himself
short an OK, and yoked a wild threeycar-
old steer with the mate of the missing ami
NAL, and proceeded to his labors. The
young animal had business way with
HIM, and proposed to keep an eye on his
master, whether there was any work done
or not. The farmer had a business way,
too, and tied the tails of his bovines to-
gether, and accomplished a good days
work, but at night he unyoked the oxen
without thinking to unite their caudal ap-
pendages, and he had, as a local paper cx-
presses it, the "doggondest" medicine
dance on his farm anyone ever heard Of
"A singular incident has Just occurred
at La Crosse, Wis. A year ago canary
bird belonging to the family Of Mr.. d. A.
Mcdonald got out of its cage and was lost.
A day or two since the cage was hanging
in the yard and a canary flew into it,
stopped a few moments, then went off;
shortly it returned with another bird, a
young one, and now they are both in the
cage and apparently perfectly tame and
contented. The old bird which so strange
ly took possession of the cage the other
day resembles the bird which left it a year
ago in every particular, and if it did not
seem an impossibility for that bird to lie
alive after one of our winters it would be
accepted as the rightful occupant of the
cage without a question.
