A Mountain Idyl.

A short time ago a traveller took his
first stroll among the hills which encircle
Asheville, NC, the North Conway of the
Carolinas. After q toilsome ascent, he
reached the brow of q precipitous hill.
side overlooking the town, and paused
to enjoy the f%ar-reaching prospect. Sud
denly there appeared unto him the low
Hest woman he had ever seen. Among
those handsome hills, his eyes had fallen
upon many a beauty with dark eyes, rich
complexion and shapely figure, but
never upon such q splendid creature as
this. She had been gathering chestnuts,
and was fastening homeward with two
lads, brother Tim and brother John, OF
her heels. Roadside greetings between
strangers are customary in western Car
Ola, and it was not surprising that she
smiled, and said, "Good evening"" But
the traveller, not content with a passing
glimpse of so fair a face, detained her
with|a gesture. "Pardon me, he said,
"can you tell me the name of this noun
tain p "Iti is the Beau Catcher, sir" she
said, demurely. CA very odd name"
was the travellers response; and the
next peak yonder?" "Oh, that is Hon.
eylip; and the one far off to the right We
girls call the Brides Bonnet, because
the trees are 80 gay and bright in the
fall" Brothers Tim and John We're hun
cry. "Come, Sis, the victuals will be
cold, I reckon" shouted me of the lads
impstiently, and in a moment the CLEAN:
ing of her white teeth and the glitter Of
her dark eyes vanished in the darkness,
and the traveller was left to continue hls
sentimental journey alone.

How Texas FOrgers Worked.

The Kansas City Times, in an account
of the Texas land swindle, says: One
of the largest banking houses in Austin,
Texas, two Chicago houses, bankers, and
two real estate dealers, and two attor-
neys in st. Louis, a bank and two real
estate dealers in Indianapolis, and others
in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Pittsburg,
are to be, o. have been arrested for be-
ing connected with the fraud. 1t also
a Y there has been a well-organized
system Of forgery in full practice in the
Western country for the past eight or
nine years. The same organization
which is now forcing the Texas scrip on
the market has been perpetrating some of
the most terrible forgeries ever perpe-
trated. The mode of working by the
gang is this: They have agents in each
district with attorneys in the cities. An
old man or woman of wealth falls sick,
and the doctors give her or him up as
likely to die. In some places the gang
have a doctor az one of their agents, and
he assume the death of the victim at
the prope time. A person having been
assumed to die, and the gang, having
Examined the record of the property
balonging to the doomed person, the
hgirs are sought for and duly examined
by the gang. Then deeds are prepared
in due form, and O woman or man
leach members of the gangl appear oe'

mans property is duly decided away be.
fore his death, his name forged, and that
of his wife, and the same placed on

Let the person whose name you wish
to know inform you in which of the up
right columns the first letter of his name
is contained. If it be found in but one
column it is the top letter a; if it occurs
in more than one column, it is found by
adding the alphabetical numbers of the
top letters of these columns, and the
sum will be the number of the letter
sought. By taking one letter at a time
in this way, the whole can be ascertained.
For example take the word Jane. j is
found in the two columns commencing
with B and 81, which are the second and
eighth letters down the, alphabet their
sum is ten, and the tenth letter down
the alphabet is J., the letter sought. Tho
next letter, A, appears in but one COL
umn, where it stands at the top. N is
seen in the columns headed B, D and 81;
these are the second, fourth and eighth
letters of the alphabet, which added
give the fourteenth, and so on. The use
Of this table will excite no little curl
osity among those unacquainted with tho

Two Big Farms.

A correspondent sends the following
to the New York Evening Post: In q
recent number of your journal the fol-
lowing appears: ,
Ex-Governor Abner Coburn, of
Maine, is said to be the largest land
holder in America. BE owns $3.50 OO
acres, a large part of which is in Canada
and at the West"
Iwish to correct this by saying that
Wilson Waddingham, now of New York,
is believed to be the largest landowner
in the United States. BE own in one
compact body on the Canadian river in
Eastern New Mexico $4,000 acres, for
which he has a United States government
patent, and improvements that represent
q large sum of money. On this estate
he has, in connection with another gen.
tleman, about 5000 head Of cattle and
Il 1000 head of sheep, the nucleus
of q live-stock-growing operation. In
addition he owns other lands situated on
the Rio Grand river and elsewhere in
the same territory, about GOO, 900 acres
more, making o total of 1,256,000 acres
owned by Mr.. Waddingham, or more
than twice as much as is claimed to be
owned by Ex-Governor Abner Coburn,
of Maine.

Air and Light.

Air is essential to human life, and as
respiration destroys it's vital qualities,
the ventilation of rooms which are in
tended for habitation should be q
primary object in all architectural plans.
Architects, however, seldom provide for
the ventilation of rooms otherwise than
as they provide for the admission of
light. Now, the properties of light and
air, with reference to our domestic re-
quirements, differ in some important
particulars-of which it may not be
amiss to give q brief enumeration.
Light moves with uniform velocity ; air
is sometimes %quiescent, and sometimes
moves at the rate of thirty miles an
hour. Light difuses itself with much
uniformity air passes in o current
from the point of its entrance to that of
its exit. Light, whatever be it's velocity,
has no sensible effect on the human
frame. Air, in the shape of a partial
current, is both offensive to the feelings
and productive Of serious diseases.
Light, once admitted, supplies our
wants till nightfall. Air requires to be
replaced at very short intervals. Light
may be conveniently admitted from
above air requires to be admitted on
the level of the sitter. Light, by the
aid of ground glass, may be modified
permanently. Air requires to be vari-
ously adjusted according to it's direction,
its velocity, the seasons, the time of the
day, the number of persons assembled,

Curious Phenomenon in the Oil Regions.
A correspondent of the Baltimore

A correspondent Of the Baltimore
american says that at Titusville, Pa,
Senator Anderson's beautiful grounds,
on the suburbs of the city, present q
splendid sight every clear night during
summer. The great attraction is the
fact that they are brilliantly illuminated
by natural gas from the Newtown
we'll, about four miles distant. This
well yields nothing but gas, and whenfirst
opened the roar of the escaping gas
could be heard, it is said, for a distance
of seven miles. The gas has since been
confined so as to be conveyed in pipes to
the city and is used extensively for
cooking and heating purposes. In the
house of Senator Anderson not a stick
of wood or lump Of coal is used during
the year either for cooking or heating.
He uses the gas in cooking stoves and in
open CRATES in his parlors, sitting rooms,
and chambers. It gives too much smoke
to be used for light indoors, and simply
takes the place of fuel. There are about
twenty standards on the lawns and
around the fountain and lake in the
senator's grounds, and n magnificent
arch, the innumerable jets from the
pipe each throwing out a flame about
twelve inches long. There are about
twenty standards in all, with about thirty
jets, each jet throwing out a fierce flame
from twelve to eighteen inches long.
The portion of the grounds Illuminated
is to the extent of about four acres, and
is as light as day in every part. The
fountain is a magnificent work of art,
surmounted by a nymph pouring water
from an urn into a goblet, and four
swans, each throwing streams into the
basin below, while there is a beautiful
floral display at the base of the foun-
tain and on the ground surrounding it.
The lawn is kept in splendid condition,
interspersed with ~variegated flowers,
and the effect of this brilliant illumina-
ton may be imagined amid such q scene
of floral attractions. The gas is also
used for heat in the conservatory, and
we are informed by the gardener that
the entire cost Of the gas used for domes-
tic purposes and illumination of the
grounds is but 500 per annum. The
force of this gas is so great that recently,
in tapping the pipe to put in a service
pipe for q dwelling, the particles of iron
were forced out with such velocity as to
enter the flesh of the plumbers arm.
The gas from the Newtown well is extern
sively used in Titusville in place of
fuel, similar to it's use in the mansion of
Senator Anderson, and there is some talk
of using it for the general lighting of the

Lost.

Wild rose, by the wayside hung
DeS-glittering, on the morning air
y pure, scarceconscious, perfume flung;
Hooked, and found the fow'ret fair
SO fair, I sought, with sudden zest
20 wear its beauty OF my breast.
The trembling petals at my touch
a sweeter, subtler fragrance shed
lis strange I loved that flower so much,
And-it'was dead.
IN hat high mood when thought hath wings
And finds alone its speech in song,
| struck an old harp's slumbering strings,
And drew an idle hand along;
Nor deemed the careless chords had caught,
The me-note that my spirit sought,
Till sudden on my startled ear
It's dream-created accents woke,
Alsck 1 bought the rapture dear
The string had broke.
lheard a wild bird on the shore,
Singing a wild song to the sea
and bold the burden that it bore,
And sweater than all else to me-
SO sweet, l Gagged the bird to hear
His magic minstrelsy more near.
Untamed, the captive's swelling throat
IN one sad song his whole soul cast
Too we'll 1 knew his ~loveliest note
Had been his last.
And yet while memory hath power
To count the hours too vainly spent,
The fragrance o: that faded flower,
Thct harp's last dying music, blent
With the wild birds weird death-song, will
Haunt every waking moment still,
Teaching my heart the bitter cost
Of all the eye Of hope hath seen,
OF all that life hath won and lost
That might have been.

Mountain Climbing,

The greatest altitude which has been
reached By mountain climbers was at.
tanned in Cashmere by Mr.. Johnsc".
who some years ago mounted to a spot
%, 200 feet above thesea. Aeronauts have
assembled 80, 800 feet and returned with
safety. It is supposed the most height
that life can be supported at this alti-
tude has been proved by the adven-
turers who have dared the dangers of the
upper air in a balloon. During the last
summer NJ. Weiner assembled Mount
Qliman. one of the Hottest peaks of the
Bohvain Andes. The height Of this
mountain has been variously estimated.
MI. Pentland giving it On altitude OF
"a, 200 feet; Mr.. Michm setting it at
21, 224 feet, and Mr.. Weiner himself
making it to be only 20.112 feet. Few
-ascents to the height of 81, Don feet have
been. recorded. Hunters on the Hima-
layas often chase their game to the
height of 20, 900 feet, and natives living
near Mount Demarend, near Teheran,
frequently climb to the summit above,
20, 900 feet, to gather sulphur from the
crater.
