Reports on leprosy have beer pub
lished by surgeons in British India.
DIR. Planck, Sanitary Commissioner of
the northwest provinces of Bengal, con-
siders that probably nc fewer than TO-
900 persons in that vast area are lep-
rous, and it results in reducing to beg
gary at least one-third of that number.
It's attacks arise seldom from conta-
gion. 1t is n hereditary disease. AS a
rule leprosy assumes outward and
hurtful appearance between the ages
of 80 and 90. In China the great seats
of leprosy are in the provinces of Can
ton and Fokien. In Canton there are
believed to be 10000 lepers. Leprosy
is unknown among the Australian
aborigines. OF late years it has been
more frequently observed in Europeans
who have visited the East and West
Indies.

Ballasted with Silver.

The Ruby Hill railroad is literally
ballasted with silver. The daily pas
sage of ore trains over the road and the
constant jar scatters a portion of the
load out of the cars and alongside of
the track for the entire distance.
Assays have been made of the earth in
several places and they have run as
high as $50 per ton. The work of
gathering it up would cost more than it
is worth, and there is no way of stop
ping the waste. In Virginia City the
loads of ore are thoroughly wet down
before leaving the dumps, but that pro-
cess would not do here. us the added
moisture would have to be expelled in
the furnace, which would cost more in
fuel than would be saved by the sprink-
ling. We imagine that railroads
ballasted with silver are unheard
of outside of the State of Nevada.

An Lneedate of Henry Clay

During the compromise" discussion
of 1850 a lady from Georgia, accompa-
MED by her husband, called on Mr.. Clay
at the National hotel. He was ex-
tremely busy, and sent down a card
apologizing and expressing the hope
that they would call in the morning.
But the lady would not be put off so
easily. She Immediately wrote him a
beautiful note, in a beautiful hand, in
which she said that she and her hus-
band had come some hundred miles out
of their way to see him, and begged the
honor of a brief interview, as they were
under the necessity of leaving that
evening. The great Kentucky states
man of course made a graceful surren-
der.
The party we're introduced, and a
pleasant conversation followed, which
Mr.. Clay himself seemed to enjoy no
less than his guests. As it was draw
ing to a close the lady remarked that
she had still another favor to ask, the
reference to which seemed to give her
some little embarrassment. "What is
it, Madame, if you please2" Sir"
said she, before leaving home 1 told
my friends that I would not only see
Mr.. Clay, but that I would be kissed by

Presidency, that Ia an honor neither to
