The RErORTED HANGING.-No further

that Goodhart, the man reported to have

Far FeEs.--As indicating the rate and vol
ume Of the fees paid to their attorneys and
experts by the Eureka Mining Company, the
Sentinel of Saturday says:
If street reports are to be relied on, the
lawyers and exp erts in the recent mining suit
got away with some very fat fees. We gath
cred up what common rumor has to say on
the subject and give it for what it is worth.
It is stated that the firm Of CARRIER and
Thornton received 500, 900 as a retaining fee,
with contingent fee Of $50, 900 in case the
Eureka won Hank Mitchell is set down for
$40, 900, and Judge Mesick S30, 900 The ex-
perts rated lower, Professor Raymond walk

2 much higher figure. Clarence King was re-
warded with 500 600 for his pipe vein theory,
while Hague and AskDurner rated at SO 900

OYER EITING

BY eating between meals, the stomach
Is overworked, and soon gets out OF
order; then the whole body suffers, and
disease ereeps in. Thousands of men
are daily inficting upon their own stom-
achs abuse of the very same character.
Thousands OF mothers daily encourage
in their children habits which impose
upon their stomachs burdens more
onerous than the tasks demanded by the
Egyptians of their Hebrew servitors.
The stomach needs rest as well as other
organs of the body. Anatomically con-
sidered sit is chiefly a muscle. All mus
cles require rest after short periods of
activity. The stomach also performs a
glandular office in the secretion Of gas
trio Juice, an essential element in the
process of digestion. If rest is not al
lowed the stomach, the glands are unable
to furnish the requisite quantity of gas
trio fluid. The inevitable result of this
abuse is dyspepsia. MultituGes of chill
dren under ten years of age have become
confirmed dyspeptics by the pernicious
habit of eating between meals. Regu-
larity in eating is one of the first lessons
that should be taught children; and the
course of instruction should be begun in
early infancy. From the time babe
leaves its mothers breast he is not too
young to learn.

FEMALE SOCIETY.
CHASTITY

All men who avoid female society
have dull perceptions, and ara stupid,
and have gross tastes, and revolt against
what pure. Your club-swaggerers who
are sucking the butts of billiard-cues
all night call female society insipid.
Poetry is uninspiring to a yokel beauty
has no charms for a blind man music
does not please; poor beast does not
know one tune from another; but, as a
true epicure hardly ever tires of water,
sauce. and brown bread and butter, /
protest can sit for whole night talk
ing to a well,regulated, kindly woman,
about her daughter Fanny, or her boy
Frank. and make the evenings entertain
ment. One of the great benefits man
NAV derive from a woman's society is
that he is bound to be respectful to her.
The habit is of great good to your NOR
ais. men, depend upon it. Our education
makes us the best eminently selfish men
in the world, and the greatest benefit
that comes to man from woman's society
is that he has to think of somebody to
whom he is bound to be constantly at
tentive and respectful.

DYING or HUNGER IN CHINA.

A very dark picture is drawn by cor
respondent of the Paris Temps of the dis
tress which has been prevalent in China
for the last few months. He says that in
the Chilli and ShantuDg districts the
distress has reached such height that a
mart of the inhabitants Of these large
provinces are literally dying Of hunger.
Two Europeans who had the courage to
carry some provisions TO a small village
in Shantung returned horror-struck with
what they had seen. The inhabitants
were putting an end to their suferings
by suicide, and in one family the father
and mother, to avoid witnessing the
death agony of their children, had buried
them alive. The famine has been caused
by the failure of the harvest for two
years running in districts which are gen
orally very fertile. Neither grain nor
,fruits are to be had at any price, and the
land seems to have been scorched by a
burning wind. The grass by the roadside
has been devoured to its very roots by
the famishing people, who have stripped
all the trees of their bark and foliage.
AS the winter has been exceptionally
severe, many of the sufferers have died
from cold as well as from hunger, and
the appearance of the survivors is most
ghastly.

a SIDE LIGHT.

Never face the light when at work,
but contrive to have a side light, which
will not shine directly in the eyes. In
the schools in Germany this matter has
already been attended TO, and the rule
adopted is to have all the seats and tables
80 arranged that the pupil never faces
the windows, but only has the side lights
frem the left and, as light simultane-
ously thrown from two sides gives an
inference of shadows, it has been strictly
forbidden to build school-rooms with
windows on both sides, such illHmina-
ton having also proved injurious to the
eyes of the pupils. We may add to this
advice not to place the lamp in front OF
you when at work in the evening, but q
little on one side; use shade-a green
one is best, as it softens the light, which
eliminates only the work upon which il
falls.

4 CURIOUS 4NECroTE.

An anecdote illustrative of an animal
abandoning its artificial for its natural
taste, when once it has learned what it is,
may be told of a tame inchneamon,
which ] kept and fed with milk. One
day brought him small water serpent
alive, being desirous to know how far his
instinct would carry him against being
with which he was hitherto totally un-
acquainted His first emotion seemed to
be astonishment mixed with anger, for
his hair became erect; but, in an instant
after, he slipped behind the reptile, and
with remarkable agility leaped upon its
head, seized it, and crushed it between
his teeth. This essay, and new element,
seemed o-have awakened in him his in
nate and destructive voracity, which till
then had given away to the gentleness
he had acquired from his education. |
had about my house several kinds OF
curious fowls, among which he had been
brought up, and which, till then, he had
suffered to go and come unmolested; but
few days after, he strangled them every
one, ate a little, and, as appeared, drank
the blood of two.

HoRBS OF WISDOM.

Omission of good is a commission OF
evil.
1t is absurd to be serious about trifing
matters.
He that lends to all shows good will,
but little sense.
The memory should be a storehouse
not lumber-room.
You may gather a rich harvest OF
knowledge by reading; but thought is
the winnowing machine.
Keep the horrors at arms length.
Never turn blessing round to see
whether it has a dark side to it.
The great master of even a single in
strument of music is indeed a wizard
He chains us in the slavery of de
light, and is heonly despot that rules
over willing captives.
Advice Is offensive, not because it lays
us open to unexpected regret, or con,
victs us of any fault which has escaped
our notice, but because it shows that we
are known to others as well as ourselves
and the officious monitor is prosecuted
with hatred, not because his accusation
is false, but because he assumes the su
periority which we are not willing tc
grant him, and has dared to detect what
we desire to conceal.

The first Chinaman who has ever be-
come fully qualified English barrister
at law, arrived in Shanghai about the
first of May. His name is Ng A-choy.
His English education was begun in ST.
Paurs college, Hong Kong, where he
distinguished himself by his superior in
telligence and earnest application to
studies. When about twenty years of
age he took post as interpreter in the
government service at Hong Kong, which
he filed for long period, during which
he pursued his studies with a view to be
coming barrister, and practicing in the
various courts in China. Nearly four
years ago he proceeded to London at his
own expense, where he has successfully
completed his studies, passed the neces-
sary examinations, and is now duly en-
rolled at Lincoln's inn. It is rumored
that Kuoh, the ambassador to England,
is making overtures to Ng A-choy TO
return to London and form part of his
suite The sign of a Chinaman Is to be
seen on Nassau street, New York, and
several Of his countrymen have been
studying law at the Columbia law school.

EI6Hr MORE THIN TWELVE

A Dutchman let his lands to an oil
company last spring, on condition
receiving one eighth of the oil procured.
The well proved to be pretty good one,
and the farmer began to think the oil
men would give him better chance, and
ventured to tell them so. They asked
him what he wanted. He said they ought
to give him one-twelfth. The arrange

standing that the Dutchman was not to

the next division day came, when our

better he would be off under the new

This did not suit him.
