THE MAI. CARRIER.

Who carries the mail from Os-tra-
gou-nosh, away up on the Minnesota
line, to the nearest frontier settlement
In Dakota? Why, Bocs. a mongrel
kind OF dog, an apparent ultimate re-
suit OF the mingling OF every kind Of
dog found in the Territory. Boss
master a year ago, was a drunken
half-breed who was paid 80 a trip In
Summer, and SIS in Winter for taking
the mails distance OF some sixty
miles. Boss master was honest. and
never purloined a letter, but he had q
way Of drinking on the road, and the
mails were often delayed. Last
January the mail carrier never reached
his destination, but was found frozen
stiff In snow-bank, three miles be-
yond Jobley's run. Boss was keeping
guard over his master and the mail.
Now Boss runs the machine in bad
weather All that has to be done Is to
take Boss and secure the letters round
his neck in an oil-skin wrap, and
away goes Boss to the end Of the
mail route on the biggest kind Of q
lope There is no use Of starving
Boss, like people do pigeons, to get
him to work, though he does expect q
feed at the conclusion Of his Journey.
No one as yet is intriguing for Boss
place. Sixty-two miles as the crow
flies carrying the mail through the
snow, Is not position most Office
seekers care for.

LAVISH EXPENDITURE.

There are many practical evils, pa
tent to all, which result from lavish
personal expenditure. In almost every
case it has deteriorating effect on the
character, pandering to vanity and
conceit. In an ideal world no one
would obtain additional respect and
Difference on account of riches. But
under present conditions large expen-
diture is a bribe for obsequious and
undeseryed homage, quite as certainly
as money given by candidates at elec-
flons is a bribe for political power.
While 1t tends to make of the poor
false and sycophantish, it as surely has
the effect OF giving the rich very ex-
agserated idea OF their own worth and
Importance. In most cases it is a bar
rier to free intercourse between man
and his frlends,o or those who may have
been his friends, but who have ceased
to be, on account Of prosperity, selfish
ly used, having enabled and encour-
aged him to indulge in tastes and
habits beyond their means. It is but
seldom that riches are employed for
cultiyating the society of the worthiest
anu DtSI. II WOlld De nearer the TrllLl
to say that they are mostly used to
cultivate the society of the rich, who
can give return for expensive enter
tainment a practice especially incon-
sistant with the principles professed
by the religious world who are not less
than others the slaves OF the prevail
ing fashion. Again, from the custom
OF lavish expenditure set by the opu-
lent, extravagant expectations are
formed as TO what decency demands
from professional persons, or others
Of moderate means, which often make
life a very har! struggle, when, but for
the example set by plutocrats, exist
ence might be comfortable and easy.
There is large class, the vain and
weak minded. over whom the customs
Of the rich has such overwhelming
force that, in order To comply with it,
they commence life on scale quite
beyond their means, the consequence
being perpetual struggle with fate,
or, In many cases, utter degradation
and ruin

rErNlFlED FOREST IN Z.

From David Rid"out, who has been
engaged in preparing section Of Q
petriied tree for the Centennial Exhi-
bition, we learn the following relative
to the petriiied forest in the desert OF
Northwestern Humboldt: On the
plain, about thirty miles west OF the
Black rock range Of mountains, stands
one Of the greatest natural curiosities
ever discovered in Nevada. 1t Is a pet
rified forest, in which the stumps Of
many OF the trees. now changed into
solid rock, are still standing. There
are no living trees or vegetation OF any
kind other than stunted sage-brush in
the vicinity. Some OF those ancient
giants OF a forest which fiourished per-
haps thousands Of years ago, when the
climate Of Nevada was undoubtedly
more favorable for the growth Of lux
uriant vegetation than at present, rival
In size the big trees Of California.
Stumps transformed into solid rock
stand in an upright position with their
roots imbeded in the soil as when
growing, measuring from fifteen to
-SlA tSCL AL
ground in the vicinity is strewn with
trunks and limbs, which retain their
natural shape and size. Mr.. Rideout,
determining to secure section Of one
of these trees for the Centennial Ex-
hibition, with two other men spent
twelve days in cutting 1t from the
stump. This was accomplished by
drilling all around the tree and separ-
ating it with wedges. The specimen
is three feet high and eighteen feet in
circumference, and weighs about three
tons. 1t stands on the stump from
which it was severed, readyto be load
ed on wagon. Mr. Rideout does not
feel able to incur the expense OF bring
ing it by team to the railroad, although
he had once made arrangements to do
80. He is anxious to call the attention
OF the Centennial Commissioners to
the matter, and see II they will not fur
nish the means t. get it To the railroad.
The country in which it is situated Is
an inviting field for geologists.

In Hindoo districts, the Brahmins,
for consideration, promise the people
immunity from smallpox. At one
place, an ingenious chamar, having
found out a strange oval-shaped hole
in rock, gave out that all those who
passed through the hole would escape
smallpox. People came with their Of
ferings, and at last the Thakur Of Mar
war brought his child to pass through
the rock. As some people who were
actually suffering with smallpox had
been through it, it is not strange that
the child caught the disease. The Tha-
kur was so angry that he had the
chamar seized; but the chamar was
equal to the occasion, and declared
the child was bewitched by village
woman. She was therefore burnt with
hot copper piece till the authorities
interfered. The people still believe in
the power OF the chamar and his story
Of the witch.

THEATRE, ACTORS. AND AUDIENCE
AT YEDDO.

When q favorite actor makes his ap-
pearance the whole audience become
electrified, and testify their delight
by series Of shouts, yells, and cries
which no known combination OF VOW
els and consonants can adequately
render. They do not all shout to-
gether, but the yells run rapidly from
group to group, reminding one OF the
falling OF q stone as ii bounds down
the side OF mountain. Their enthu-
siasm Is kept within bounds by sort
OF inspector or policeman seated on
small raised platform in the centre Of
the theatre, who preserves order and
summarily elects all disturbers Of the
public peace. During the whole time
a constant feasting seems to be going
on; plates OF rice and fish are succeed
ed by candies, sweetmeats, and other
delicacies sold by licensed venders,
who perambulate the passages be-
tween acts, offering their wares in sing
song, sleepy nasal tones; nothing es-
capes them, however: the slightest
sign from a would-be buyer brings
them in fash to his side. When the
chop-sticks are for moment laid
aside, little bottles Of sakki and cups
Of tea make their appearance. Empty
dishes are carried off and almost in
stantly replaced by full ones. Not
withstanding these interesting occupa-
tions, great attention is given to the
piece. The orchestra, placed In a
stage box to the left, is composed OF
drums, flutes, and -stringed quit
ars. The musicians are clothed In
priestly robes in memory OF the honor
of the gods. They have no mercy on
the audience, but play almost inees-
santly-during the piece to accompany
the rccitative and between the acts to
enliven the public. One OF the strong
est proofs Of the gentleness and
strength Of mind Of the Japanese Is
the admirable fortitude with which
l,5o0 people listen to this unearthly
and diabolical music for twelve con-
secutive hours without exhibiting the
slightest signs of mental alienation.
Two aisles or gangways lead from
either end OF the stage to the front en-
trance OF the theatre, going directly
through little checkerboard squares.
The actors generally make their en-
trance on the stage by these gangways,
passing through the audience and un-
der their very noses. Though the ac-
tors belong to the lowest classes, they
often endear themselves to the public
at large, who become much infatuated
with certain favorites. 1t has not un-
frequently happened that celebrated
actor has been magniticently buried
by popular subscription and mourned
by the whole population. The best OF
them receive about one thousand rios
(s1, ,lo0) per year. They are often in
terested in the profits OF the enter
prise. Some play gratuitously with q
view to making themselves known to
the public. Women never appear on
the stage. Their parts are taken by
men, and so cleverly do they do it in
dress, manner, and gesture that the
illusion would be complete were they
not betrayed by the voice. The Gal

1t was shortly before dusk-one Of
the most perfect evenings there had
been at the seaside that season-and
dozens Of elaborately dressed ladies
were promenading the long piazzas OF
the Ocean House, or sitting in picture
esque groupings in the chairs, watch
ing the continuous tide OF fashion and
elegance that sur2ed by. just in
front OF the entrance to the hotel an
elegant barouche was in waiting -
coachman and footman In olive green
livery, and q span Of coal-black horses,
in gold-plated harness. impatiently
paving and champing, tossing their
beautiful heads, and throwing fecks
OF snowy foam over their glossy
breasts.
An elderly lady was sitting within,
apparently waiting for some one. And
In q second, Miriam Lester, in a fault
less carriage costume, followed by her
French maid, carrying her parasol
and fan, came through the entrance
and entered the carriage.
Among the group OF gentleman
loungers one watched her eagerly,
then turning to some one at his el-
bow:
"Who is that magnificent woman! I
never saw such walk, such figure,
in my life."
Take care, Seville your the twelfth
enth man that has asked that question
since the divinity arrived last night.

girl Of last winter, ad then don't have
