TIE WORK AT PoMPFu.-In the
work of excavation steadily progress.
ing at Pompeii, there Was recently
uncovered a series of wooden tablets
containing the accounts of banker
named Lucius EcciIiuS Jocundus.
They are enclosed in a small wooden
box which had been considerably
charred on the outer surface. The
leaves of the tablets are thin as paste
board, and are tied together in sets of
threes by cord passing through holes
in the edges. The outer pages serv
ing as covers are clean and smooth:
and the inner ores are coated with
wax, and filled with accounts, which
appear To be mainly records of loans.
Near the tablets was found a bronze
bust Of the banker, bearing his name.
From forty to sixty men are continu-
ally employed in the excavations, un-
der a subsidy from the government
of 10000 francs. Up to date, two,
tifths of the area of the city has been
examined.

TELEGRAPH STATION IN MID OCEAN.
Several foreign naval powers are
directing their attention to the practi-
cability of establishing telegraph sta
tiOns in mid ocean, by which mess
sages can be sent from any part of the
seG along the line of the cable to the
terminal points OF shore, and vice
versa, so that communication with
iron cIadS, mail steamers, and other
vessels when cut at sea, may be estab-
lished. The invention consists of
hollow sectional column, with base
plate attached by ball and Socke: Joint
which column is lowered into the
water, and anchored rigidly to the
ground. The branch cable is coupled
10 the main cable, and carried along
the column to the surface of the water
to be there connected with instru.
ments on board the vessels. BY this
invention 1t is proposed to control
naval and strategical movements,

icate her exact position and the nature

He Had THE MORAL COURAGE TO
SAY Yo.-As rule, one should al.
ways refuse TO drink with a straI ger
in saloons, but one should also exercise
great prudence in the matter of the re.
fusal. The other day Mr.. Ny
ham had some business TO transact in
saloon on Market street, and while
deeply engaged he was accosted by
an inebriated individual with an invi.
tation to partake ola beverage. My.
ham declined saying that he did not
drink. The stranger renewed the in.
Yitation, and Myhsm again declined
TO imbibe. Then the intoxicated
stranger, evidently thinking that kind
ness was no longer a yirture, went
down in his pocket for a five shooter
with a remark that he would shoot
any man who would not drink with
him. The pistol was pointed at My.
hams breast, but Myham caught the
mGzzle in time to push it aside and
take the ball in his forefnger. The
stranger during The excitement slipped
out, and has not been heard of since.
Mr.. Myham will probably take lem
onade the next time he is asked to
drinks. +. Bulletin.

A Cock SToRY.-Two young gen.
tlemen, both in their small teens, de-
termined to have some fan, and this
dreadful weather suggested something
in the nature of an indoor amusement
as most productive OF desired results.
The families which have the honor 10
claim these young sclons are very
proud of their chickens, and hence
own biooded cocks. 1t proved an
easy matter for one yOungster TO bring
his fathers best chan,icleer TO his
chum's place, and in the barn the con
tlict was TO take place. Everything
seemed favorable, and both boys were
down on their launches, bird in hand,
ready TO let 90 as soon as one boy
counted twenty. Hardly, howeve-,
had the number fifteen fallen from his
lips ere the astonished Juvenile raised
his eyes and beheid standing behind
his friend the fathers of the Two cock
fighters. "Phancy their pheelinks. !"
Both boys were peremptOrily ordered
to give up the cocks and ignominlous-
Iy driven from the barn when the two
governors, after carefully fastening
the barn door, had the fight to them
selves. The next day both boys wan
dered what had happened to the roOs-
ters, but when they compared notes,
they confessed that the old men had
been too smart to- them.-Lake Dem

How TO Do IT.-An experimenter
has taught a canary bird to sing
Home, Sweet Home,' in this way:
He placed the canary in room where
it could not hear the singing of the
other birds, suspended It's cage from
the ceiling, so that it could see its re-
Election in a mirror, and beneath the
glass placed a musical box that was
regulated to play no other tune but
Home, Sweet Home Hearing no
other sound but this, and believing
the music proceeded from the bird it
saw in the mirror, the young canary
soon began to catch the notes, and
finally got SO that it sings the song

you are the architects of your own
fortune. Rely on your own strength
body and soul. Take for your stsr,
salfreIiance. Inscribe on your ban
ner, Luck is a fool, Pluck is a hero
Don't take too much advice-keep at
the helm and steer your own ship,
and remember that the art of com-
manding is to take fair share of the
work. Think well of yourself. Strike
out. Assume your own position. Put
potatoes in cart, go over rough
road, and the small ones 90 to The
bottom. Aim above the mark you
intend to hit. Energy, invincible de-
termination with a right motive, are
the levers that move the world. Don t
read novels. Don't swear. Don't
marry until you can support a wife.
Be earnest. Be self reliant. Be gen.
erous. Be civil. Read the papers.
Advertise your business. Make mon
ey and do good with it. Love truth
and virtue. Love your country and
obey It's laws"

WASHINGTON TERRIroRY.-A Sac

Why is it that the leading men of

You must have goud field there for
men Of moderate means 10 begin life
in, which needs only to be made
known To turn the tide in that dIrec-
lion. To show you how little is
known here in relation to your Terri
tory, its extent, resources, productions,
capa bililies, healthfulness, &c, where
the government lands subject to en-
Try lie, their distance from navigable
streams, proximity to schools, mar
kets and general centres of civilization,
&c, the price of improved and unim-
proved lands, and every other matter
of special interest to those who are
seekings for new homes, | have been
earnestly engaged in an effort TO post
myself in relation thereto for
month, and As yet am none the wiser
for my trouble. 1t is no trouble TO
learn all about Southern California,
and the Sacramento and San Joaquin
valleys, but Washington Territory is
hardly known here. Why is it thus ?
Who is, or are blamed ? | know of
number in this State who no longer
see an opportunityto secure homes here
simply because lands are held at such
high rates that they cannot purchase,
aud in consequence, are now looking
in your direction for homes. But they
do not want to Il leap in the dark"
