"Toueh az q Haltar.n

An amusing story is told of Mr.. Ten.
nyson in a foreign journal. Staying in
a quiet neighborhood in England once,
which great people visit as rarely as
comets appear, advantage" of such an
event as the laureate's visit was taken
by one of the native hostesscs to give q
luncheon and show of her lion.
Conversation languished sadly; every
one was afraid to speak lest he or she
should be detected as infinitely prosaic,
or that suddenly there might be great
utterance which would be lost. Still
the poet spoke not, but attended dill
gently to the business of the hour. The
hostess grew uncomfortable; perhaps
something was wrong; that dreadful
cook was 80 exceedingly uncertain in her
work. Perhaps poets had peculiar food;
there were dim recollections floating
through her mind of having heard Of
certain food for gods. Anything was
better than this uncertainty. "Heve
you been helped as you like7" she sskeu
timidly. "That ham, we are paiticu.
larly proud of it, is Of our own curing.
The receipt has been in our family for
more than 70 years." Still there was no
reply. The poet heard her hot; he was
thinking Of something else. Only one
word reached his ears; it appealed to his
senses. Then there ensued silence
which seemed interminable. Still the
thought took form and speech Tough

Anything for Escape.

The lessons just now taught in our
Sunday schools "cut to the quick"
whenever there is in the pupil tender
conscience and a sense of sin. A bright
little fellow in q New York school, who
felt the application of their truths to be
too close for his personal comfort, burst
out with the exclamation, II wish I had
died when I was baby and got rid of all
this." After his teacher had kindly
shown him how much he would have
missed by passing out of life as soon as
it begun, and had pointed out the folly
of his wish, the boy, in no measure re-
leved from the uncomfortable sense of
responsibility resting upon him tried to
wriggle out of it in this fashion, Well.

The Legion Of Hono

The Legion of Honor, in which the
French government has enrolled so many
exhibitors, at present contains about one
hundred thousand members, the major
lty of whom are chevaliers or knights.
Next in order of numbers come the off,
Gers, then the commanders, then the
grand officers, and lastly the grand
crosses. In the case of soldiers and
sailors, the red ribbon confers a pension
varying between $50 for knights and
$1,000 for grand crosses, but civilians
get nothing but the rig t to wear the
insignia, for which they are bound to
pay fees. The knight insignia are red
ribbon at the button-hole when he is in
civilians clothes and silver-mounted
cross when he ia in uniform; the officer
wears q rosette when in multi and q gold.
mounted cross when in uniform, and it
should be added that the officers rosette
is worn by members of all the superior
grades when in morning dress. In even
ing dress or uniform, however, the COM
manders wear red collar with a cross
pendant; the grand officers sport a
collar with star on the left
breast and the grand crosses wear a
larger star and broad MORE red ribbon
across the breast. Te officers of the
army and navy the cross is generally
given as a matter of right after twenty
years Of good conduct, and so it is to
certain members of the civil service,
such as consuls, sub-perfects, public
prosecutors, etc. The private soldier
who gets it must have deserved it manv
times over, and the dozen ladies who
have it are heroines indeed. Artists,
authors, inventors, and men of genius
generally may be decorated on the rec
omendation of one or other of the cabi-
net ministers, who make out a list twice
or thrice a year, and are generally happy
enough to have the honor of recommend
ing celebrities" No one can wear the
decoration who has been in trouble with
the law courts and whose antecedents
are not, conventionally at least, ire
proachable; so that in some sense the
ribbon may be accepted as a certificate
of honesty as we'll as merit.

Some Of the Lucky Stock speoulators--
High Prices with Money Plenty.
Cor. Pittsburg Telegraph.
In a former letter I mentioned the
foreman of the Sierra, who conducted
me through the mine, and who was then
not worth q dollar. An eastern man
would have saved something out of $3.50
per month, but to that date our foreman
had not. In an occasional game at the
gambling table he would make a few
hundreds, and then invest in stocks. By
the way, gambling is very fashionable
in this city, 50 Our foreman was in good( y
society. He bought, I understand, $50
shares of this mine at 81. To-day that
foot up at $500 per share, the neat little
sum of $4,000, nice return for g.
200 in twelve month. Of course he
had to get q furlough, and was of to
the city" (San Francisco) to have a
good time. He then married Boston
girl two or three times younger than
himself, and is doubtless having "eood
time." Another incident is of coiored
youth who happened to buy some shares
in the same mine. The rise in stock
netted him $31.00. The way he "put
on the style" while driving a fine livery
turnout through the streets of Oakland,
CAL, the other day was laughable in.
deed. Another example was that of an
Irish miner who, fguratively speaking,
went to bed poor and arose rich. This
county could not hold him. He was Of
for ould Ireland" The last example
l shall mention is that of Senator
Jones, the silver man, who had just
got away with his little fortune of S.
100000, and was wondering where he
could raise money enough to buy cigars
for the coming senatorial campaign.
Thus far he has made over q million
dollars in the rise. His cigars are &C.
cured, and, consequently his election, I
suppose, unless Pat should be obstinate
and wish for the "whisky" too. These
examples will suffice. Numbers have
made various sums from the hundreds
up. Mining property in the immediate
vicinity has enhanced in value. New
claims have been staked out: new en-
couragement has been given. Confidence
in the great Comstock has been restored.
Money is plenty. Everybody, whether
ne had stock or not, has been benefited.
A man goes into store for stamp and
envelope and pays rs cents for it, refus-
ing change, as he does not wish to be
bothered with the change, his pockets
being loaded down with two-bit, 25-cent
pieces. This is true. You pay two bits
for q shave, get not less than two bits
worth of candy or fruit, pay two bits to
get your boots blacked-and nearly all
patronize the boot black-pay two bits
for your cigars and drinks, all because
money is circulating feely just now and
people feel liberal, If money comes
easily it will go easily, and I find that
very few of these miners know how to
hang on to their earnings. At the end
OF the year they are where they COM
menced, unless some lucky speculation
has brought them in fortune. Even
then few months time will suffice, in
most cases, for the spending of this for.
tune. Any piece of money less than a
dime is unknown here. The economy of
the east seems here like penuriousuess.

I YsQoNcfMiNT Is made that anew
continuance for using petroleum as fuel
has been successfully tested. The test
was made at the Brooklyn navy yard in
the presence of naval of6ceraraad other
scientific gentlemen: The fuel, which
consists of mixture of petroleum and
coal tar, supplied through 4 pipe, and
Is atomized by coming in contact with a
current ofIspPerheated steam. In this
way the necessary amount of oxygen is
obtained, and the result is said to be a
heat far more intense than any blast fur
mace fed with coal can supply. With
this heat it is said that pig iron can be
melted in ten minutes instead of two
hours as is done with coal, and the time
foE melting glass can be. reduced from
sixteen hours to two.

that the constant strain upon the mind,
great anxiety, as well :, the constant
shaking and Earring they receive while
the engines are running, have tendency
to bring on ailments which shorten life.
This general shaking up that engineers
receive can only be appreciated by get

miles an hour. Though there are sprines
upon the huge machine, one would
scarcely imagine that such is the fact.
The engineers of freight engines fare bet
