Captain Burton's Discoveries In the Land o.
indian.

A correspondent of the Times, writing
from Alexandria, informs the public that
Captain Burton, the African traveller, has
made a " find " of unusual interest. at
request of of the Khedive he has visited the
"Land of Midian," the desolate region of
the eastern side of the Gulf of Akabah, the
easternmost of the two long and narrow es-
tuaries in which the Red Sea ends.
Accompanied by M. George Marie, a
French engineer, Capt. Burton landed in
INDIAN ON the 2nd of April, and in an ex-
ploration of some weeks, explored a region
full of ruined towns, built of solid masonry.
with made roads, aqueducts five miles
long, artificial lakes and massive fortresses,
all marking wealthy and powerful people.
Their wealth was based on mining opera
tions, and Capt. Burton reports the exist
ence of gold, silver, tin antimony and tur-
quoise mines. The auriferous region is
extensive; indeed the discover believs he has
opened up California, and the Khedive
proposes to have the country worked by
European capitalists.
It will be remembered that in the Bible
Midian is always described as land full of
metals, suoh as gold, silver aud lead. 1t
is more than probable that Solomon's
Ophir was situated there, as the small
ships in which he imported gold, ivory and
peacocks were launched at the head of the
Red Sea. Midian is part Of the Egyptian
Viceroyalty.

Phil. Sheridan at Sedan.


The following vivid account is taken from
Colonel Hoffman's "reminiscences of two
wars:
CAT the battle of Sedan, Sheridan stood
near Count Bismarck. Towards its close,
he shut up his glass, and, turning to Bis
marck, said, 'The battle is won.' The
count replied that he would be glad to
think so, but saw no signs of it yet. In a
minute or two more the French gave way.
Turning his glass toward Sedan, Sheridan
observed, the emperor is there Bismarck
answered that it could not be; that the en-
peror was not such fool as to place him.
self in that situation. Looking again,
Sheridan said, He IS there, anyhow He
had drawn his conclusions from the i'm
mense staff he saw and the confusion reign
ing around.
Sheridan was right. Tie emperor and
and his staff were prison ers of war. The
emperor had behaved with the greatest
personal courage, and subsequently, when
dissension arose between the French gener.
ais as to who were responsible for the dis.
aster, he behaved with the greatest gener.
osity. But he should not have been al
Sedan. The post of usefulness and Of
danger for him was at Paris, and not with
the army"

Hard On Editors.

Soon after Chief Justice Chase assumed
the gubernatorial chair in Ohio, he issued
his proclamation appointing Thanksgiv-
ing day. To make sure of being orthodox,
the Governor composed his proclamation
almost entirely of passages from the Bible,
which he did not design nate as quotations,
presuming that every one would recognize
them, and admire the fitness OF the words
IS well as his taste of selection. The
proclamation meeting the eye of Demo-
cratic editor, he pounced at once upon it,
and declared he had read it before-could
not say exactly whore, but would take his
oath that it was a downright plagiarism
from beginning to end. That would have
been pretty good, fair joke, but the next
day the Republican editor came out valiant
ly in defense Of the governor, promo unced
the charge libellous, and challenged any
man living to produce one single line of
the proclamation that had appeared in print
before.

A Strong Constitution.

People who attain extreme old age have
usually certain toughness of constitution
which triumphs over injuries that weaker
natures cannot survive. The autopsy of
the Lite Captain Larbrush, whose age is
stated at one hundred and eleven, years and
twenty-five days, furnishes new and re-
markable evidences on this point. For
sixty years he had been an opium eater,
at the age Of ninety his daily dose Of gum,
or crude opium, vas estimated at ninety
grains, Troy, but the physician who attea-
ded him shortly before his death represents
the allowance as only half that quantity.
Capt. Larbrush had full allowance of all the
ills that flesh is heir to, but seems to have
bsen strangely unconscious OF them. He
had no symptoms of renal disease, and yet
his right kidney was gone entirely; its
place being occupied, (and considerably
more than occupied,) by tumor the size
of child's head, with a smaller tumor of
similar kind attached. This fact does not
seem to have been suspected before the di-
agnosis was made during his last illness.
The left kidney was contracted. There was
a cyst on his liver. The heart was fatty.
The walls of the aorta were nearly pene-
trated by several alterations. His ribs
were as soft as cartillages, so that they
could easily be cut with scissors. But tri-
fles like these did not affect his general
health. He was at last brought down by a
congestion Of the lungs, contracted by ex-
posure in storm. From tina. complaint
he was slowly recovering, when an abcess
formed in his thigh. Three operations
were performed for relief of the abcess,
and 80 ounces of fluid were withdrawn.
This proved too much of drain on his
system, and he died of asthenia, 4. e., gem
eral debility. AS he was soldier of the
first Napoleon, he might have quoted the
Generals famous saying about the PENN
sula war: '' That ulcer in my sxtremities
ate out my life."

How Nevada Is Bled by the Railways.

The Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress from Nevada should make it their
business at the next session to obtain such
legislation as will secure the citizens of the
State from the extortionate and discrimina-
ting charges Of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company. A Virginia City merchant
who goes to New York to purchase goods,
fills car With his freight. The Railroad
Company then says to him: We shall
charge you the same rate to Reno that we
would to San Francisco, which is 294 miles
further, and across the Sierra mountains.
The merchant grumbles a little, but sub
mits because he cannot help himself. At
Reno his car is switched of, and then he
finds that in addition to paying for hauling
it over 294 miles of mountain road over
wi ich it has never passed, he must pay for
it's constructive return over the same 294
miles of road, and for that purely imagina-
ry service he is charged the full local rates.
In other words he is required to pay.nearly
third more for his freight than the San
Francisco merchant pays, Notwithstanding
that it has not been transported over the
portion of the road most difficult to oper-
ate. Congress should interpose and pro-
feet the citizens of the States and Terrific

pire, distance of about twenty miles or
an hours run. Teamsters would get rich
at such prices. Senator Sharon will see

A Murderons Sea Flower.

One of the exquisite wonders of the sea
is called the opelet, and is about as large as
the German aster, with great many long
petals Of light green color, glossy as satin,
and each one tipped with rose color. These
lovely petals do not lie quietly in their
places, but wave about in the water, while
the opelet clings to rock. How innocent
and lovely it looks on its rocky bed Who
would suspect that it would eat anything
grosser than dew or sunlight ? But those
beautiful, waving arms, as you call them,
have use besides looking pretty. They
have to provide for a large. open mouth,
which is hidden DOWN deep among them
so hiddea that one can scarcely find it.
Well do they perform their duty, for the
instant foolish little fish touches one of
the rosy tips he 10 struck with poison as
fatal to him as lightning. He Immediately
becomes numb, and In moment stops
struggling, and then the other arms wrap
themselves around him, and he is drawn
into the huge, greedy mouth, and is seen
no more. Then the lovely arms unclose and
wave again in the water. - Catholic Stan

An AUDIENCE OF ONE.
An Incident Not Down in Celia iogans
Diary.

Quite number Of singular things have
occurred at Bucyrus, Ohio, and we have the
following to offer as one of them: Several
years ago the Fosters, Of Pittsburg, were
holding theatrical entertainments there, and
during their stay novel incident occurred.
Mr.. Foster was sitting in the hotel (theSims
House. ruminating in all probability upon
the full house he was to have that night.
when W. s. entered the room with q
bill for the evening performance in his
hand. care you manager Of the thea

Foster. "You are to play Richard III,
to-nlght?" eyes, SIR" ''Well, I am and
always have been fond of theatricals, and
never have had an opportunity Of seeing
Richard III" every well, sir, come to-
night" unfortunately I must 60 to
Columbus tonight on the 6:45 train.
Now, how much money would induce
your company to play Richard Ill., for
me this afternoon ?" Foster, thinking for
moment, replied that he would do it for
$25. "And what would you charge extra
for the Rough Diamond" Foster re-
piled $40. To his surprise W. s. pulled
his weasel. connted out $35 passed it over
with the remark that he wanted the per-
formance to commence at 2 o'clock sharp.
Foster got the company together and re-
lated the circumstance. The idea of play
ing Richard" to an audience of one was
excessively ridiculous, and so new in their
experience that they all consented. Two
o'clock came, and w. S. was on hands.
Choosing an eligible position, and cooking
his fset upon the back Of the seat in front
of him, he waited for the performance to
begin. Never did the actors do better.
They exerted themselves to give their pa
tron an entertainment fully worthy of the
price paid for it, and they succeeded. W.
s. applauded vigorously at severul
points, and at times demanded repetl ton.
At the close of the play, Orchard Ill.,"
Mr.. Joseph T. Fannin, came before the
curtain and responded in neat little
speech. A dance and a song followed, af-
ter which the farce of the Rough Dia-
mond " was played. w. s. laughed,
roared and applauded, and left in time to
take the 6:45 train.

A Murderer Of lis wiie's Lover conssssss.

The oppressive weight OF blood-g uiltl-
ness has driven John Anson, a well-to-do
farmer of jackson, Indiana, to deliver HIM
self up to the officers as the murderer of
Arthur Anderson, the adulterous lover Of
his wife. About the 1st of January young
Anderson secured board at Farmer Anson's
and speedily became greatly enamored of
the latters wife, but the husband placed
too much confidence in her fidelity to be
troubled by this fact. In March, however,
Mrs. Anson took an unaccountable notion
to visit at Fort Wayne, Anderson remain
ing behind. No letter came to her hus-
band and he got impatient, and withal, sus-
picious, and one day he called at the post
Office on Anderson's account. He got .
letter and in his wife's handwriting. Anx-
iously he tore open the envelope and dis
covered the existence of guilty relations
between the writer and Anderson, and also
that she had come to Fort Wayne and was
to be joined there by Anderson at an early
day. The husband, nearly crazed, return
ed to his home with the tell-tale epistle and
denounced Anderson as villain. The
latter seized an az and dealt Anson blow,
which, however, was not serious. He was
about to repeat the attack, when Anson
took the large butcher knife from the table
and drove it three times through Ander-
sons heart. Anson, left alone with the
body Of the man who had wronged him,
was almost driven to frenzy. He took the
body and dragged it some distance from
the house to a small shed on the farm used
by the lumbermen. There he dug grave
and buried the body, and, to further con-
ceal the crime, burned che shanty down
over it. Anson declares that his life since
the first OF March has been wrerched and
miserable beyond longer endurance. He
| says that he has got no sleep at night and
no peace by day. and that il he had at
tempted to longer carry his guilty secret
about with him he must have become in

However useful he may be in other ways,
there is one thing certain, the Chinaman
will never make good sailor. The way in
which he acted on the occasion OF the wreck
of the City of San Francisco did not differ
from any other scene Of danger in which he
has figured. 1t was stated in the course OF
the inquiry now in progress that the Chi
namen who had got ashore laughed at the
idea Of going back again to rescue any
body. There is nothing all heroic in Johns
character. Humanity, in the sense in which
we understand it. is not known to his phi
losophy. He may not fear death more than
other meu. But he will not peril his life to
save that of anybody else. John looks out
steadily for number one on all occasions.
He would consider himself born idiot to
encounter danger for another individual.
He il insensible to that applause which
makes men of our race dare almost any
