A Kafr belonging to the knob-noscd
tribe went to the diamond fields to seek
his fortune. On his return to the kraal
hc was ordered, according to custom, to
pay n tribute OF ono pound sterling to
JankaJanka, his liege lord. The soye.
reign was handed up and duly pocketed
by the chieftain, who was considering
how he could best oxpend it, when he
was suddenly taken i'll. 1t was IL clear
case Of witchcratt, and tho unlucky
KaRr, with his wife and child, was at
once sent for. On his arrival he was
seized by the Janka-Janka, who put ont
his eyes, cut of his nose, tied him mp
tight, and then threw him into the river.
The woman was next treated in SINH
lar fashion, with the addition that her
child, whose neck had been previously
twisted, was fastened to her back ere
she was hurled into the water. After
this Janka.J Janka felt somewhat better,
aud would probably have entirely y recov.

soon as the bodies OF his victims were
found he would have to go through the

A Benevolent Clergyman.

Mails from Havana give details Of the
career OF that singular man, Bishop
Serrano, who recently died there in pow

sessions to tho poor, and who had nc.
tuully to 10 buried at the public ex-
peuse. 1t seems that he was the friend
Of the lowest order Of men, and that the
slaves are inconsolable over his loss. It
appears, also, that while ho surrendered
all his worldly goods TO the needy, he
boldly preached righteousness and re-
pentance in the style Of the ancient
prophets. Even after he had been at
lacked by the vomito, which carried him
of, ho went about his work, and kept it
up till his strength failed him. Few
men have lived moro self.sacri6cing
life than Bishop Serrano did, and few
whose career is more worthy Of the
study Of our fashionable clergymen. II
appears that the women OF Havana arc

n twenty fourth part; or, i'll other words,
carat is name given to the fraction l.24,
thus: Gold OF twenty-five carats fine is
gold Of which twenty-five parts ont OF
twenty, -four are pure, the other two
parts being silver. copper, or other
metals. The carat, in speaking Of dia-
monds or other precious stones, is q
weight Of n fraction less than four grains
troy, or II 1.16 carats, being equal to
seventy.two grains troy. Tho term or
weight carat derives It's pame from n
bean, the fruit Of m Abyssinian tree
called kuaa. This bean, from the time
of its being gathered, varies very little
in It's weight, and seems 10 have becn

Several Glasses Too Much.

During Mr.. Charles Popes manage
ment OF Southern thcater, one night
when some high.toned star was holding
forth, great sensation was produced BY
nautical looking gentleman, who with
all dignity produced spy-glass, and,
wien the lorgnettes were directed OF the
stage, with a report like young pistol
pulled the critter ont to its full proper.
tions and leveled it ut the performer.
This novelty in the way OF an opera
glass created so much diversion that
word was sent to the offending sailor
that he must put it up, which he said he
wouldn't, as he said it was his style oil
glass, and he was going to use it.
Further remonstrance resulted IN the
spy.glass shutting up, and the old gen
tleman Indignantly walking out as the
curtain fell on the first act.
Before it rose again in walked the sea-
faring man in company with eight others
OF tho same brand rs himself.
Solemnly they were escorted to seats,
all near together. The play proceeded;
OF sudden crack, fzz, squeak went
niue spy. y.glasses, some of them Il yard
long. Simultaneously the whole nine
were pulled out to their EXTREMIST
length, and the weather'beaten old coun.
tenances brought to bear on the end oil
them.
The audience howled, the players
struggled on, but the instant IN exciting
passage was reached, whang went the
nine spy.glasses, and the crowd yelled
with delight.
In this way the performance dragged
along, till, as actors nnd audience could
stand it no longer, the play was brought
to an untimely end ; the eight old sea
dogs, who had been summoned of the
lcveo to assist the original offender,
fled out behind him, full, avenged fol
nil interference, with the triumphant
spy-glasses under their arms.

The Mississippi JctlicS.

No one except by personal inspection
can gain comprehensive idea OF the
jetties, And ol what has been accom-
plishcd by them. One must know what
the condition Of the pass was before
work was begun, and then see the swift,
deep current Of water now rushing ont
10 the gulf, before the change that has
been wrought can be fully realized.
There was narrow pass ten miles in
length, and from twenty-five to fifty
feet in depth, reaching from the head OF
the passes to point few hundred feet
below what is now known Us Port Eads.
At this point the banks OF the pass
ceased and the water spread out over o
wide space, and found its way to the
gulf III no clearly defined channel. The
forcc Of the current was Of course lost,
and the sediment brought down by the
water was deposited over NIL OF this wide
space.
From the point where the banks of the
pass ceased to the gulf was about two
and one.han miles. From the point
where the banks OF the pass ceased to
within thirty.six hundred feet OF the
gulf, the water gradually shoalcd up
from twenty-five feet to eight feet, and
throughout the thirty.six hundred feet
thedepth ofwater variedfrom sir toeight
feet.
The task to be accomplished, then,
was to remove what may be called bill,
tho base line OF which, twenty-five feet
below tho surface, measured from the
end OF the banks OF the pass to the gulf
nearly two and one.half miles, and the
top line OF which, in tho SAME direction
eight feet below tho surface, measured
th!rty.six hundred feet. In other words,
n lump Of earth two miles and one.half
long at the bottom, thirty-six hundred
feet long on top, and fourteen feet thick,
was to be removed.
By means of the jetties nearly all OF
this vast mass OF earth has been melted
away, with the exception OF q small
mound at the sea end OF the letties,
which Mt the same depth OF twenty-five
feet has base Of six hundred feet, and
which across the top, at the depth OF
seventeen and one-hali feet, has abreadth
Of two hundred feet. There is now
throughout the whole length OF tho jet
ties clear chauncl Of over twenty feet,
with tue exception Of the lump or mound
above mentioned, and Of the width Of
two hundred feet, with tho exception OF
two or three places, in all about iour
hundred feet in length, where the width
does rot reach two hundred feet.
