Time For Economy.

A MAN from the lower walks of life
entered drug store yesterday and in
quired the price of an ounce of arsenic.
Being informed, he drew a paper from
his pocket, consulted some figures, and
said:
''That's two cents more than they
asked me in Chicago
"Well, those are my lowest figures"
replied the druggist.
The man took out a stub of pencil,
figured for three or four minutes, and
sagely observed:
'It's time to practice economy. and
l might as well begin here. Two cents
on an ounce is thirty-two cents on q
pound. Thirty-two cents on a pound
is thirty-two dollars on q hundred
weight, or six hundred and forty dol
lars on ton. Great Heavens! but do
you think l would recklessly throw
away six hundred and forty dollars?''
The druggist could make no reply.
and the man looked terribly indignant
as he went out.-DetsoU Free Press.

pears to have been done by means Of
sharp stone scoops. When the spot
was uncovered, number of stone ba-
sins were lying on the bed; others had
been begun and not finished, while 9TH
crs still were just blocked out in the
work. The stone axes used were near
ly all such as would fit naturally to the
hand. There were two great stone
hammers apparently used for split
ting off the proposed dish, when the
outside had been worked. One of these
hammers would weigh nearly if not
quite a hundred pounds. 1t appears
to have been followed out in the mid
die, SO that q withe could be bound
around it and used as handle for
swinging the great hammer. Upon
noting the ledge more closely it was
seen that the bed of soap-stone had
been cut away-that is lowered several
feet below its original height-and this,
with the immense quantities of pulver-
lied rock, now known to be the soap
stone clippings, that have been carried
away, shows something of the vast
amount of work which has been done
at this bed. In the small space un.
covered the remains of something like
$50 cuttings are to be seen.-Provi-

chase was in this wise: The old man
lived in one of the rooms, and his
neighbors complained that he was .
nuisance, and wanted him to move out.
He would not, and Donohuc, the agent
for the owner, Mr.. Frank Gautier, was
taking steps to turn him out, when
Leach, learning what was going on,
went to MIR. Gautier and bought the
whole property, paying the landlords
price, $4,000. So he remained in his
room unmolested for five years.
About five years ago he sold the prop
erty to the Dixon Crucible Manufactur-
ing Company for $500.
He has had two wives and a son and
daughter. All are dead. The daughter
worked in a private family as serv-
ant. Becoming lame, she asked her
father for help, and he took her to the
Charity Hospital, where she died, and
was buried in a miserable coffin
in the Potter's Field. She was
an amiable girl, and highly re-
spected. The boy was, says Mr..
Harper, made half crazy by the beat
ings that his father gave him. He was
playing at leap-frog with some boys
one day, and he fell on his head and
broke his neck.
1t has been Leach's habit for years to
declare that he would go to England to
live, and that after he died he would
bequeath his money to Queen Victoria,
because she would know how to use it
carefully. He was far from being
crazy, and talked ably on financial sub
jects. He was strictly honest, and
would not accept gift without offering
something in return of equal Value

A Balloonist's Adventure.

MIR. SIMMONS LYNN made an ascent
in q balloon at Calcutta, on the 10Th of
January. He descended safely some
miles from the city, after an exciting
adventure with a crocodile. Owing
to the density of the gas supplied for
the balloon, Mr.. Lynn did not deem it
advisable to take up with him Mr..
y Estrange (Blondin), who was much
disappointed in Consequence. The bal
loon first moved in the direction of Bal
iganj, but afterwartl shifted toward
Dhappa and the Salt Lakes. Having
passed over the eastern boundary of
Calcutta, Mr.. Lynn found that at 4:4O
o'clock it was beginning to move rap
idly toward Tiger Point, in the Sundcr-
bunds. He descended from his then
altitude of $4,000 feet into the current
which was blowing for few moments
from the southeast. In this current he
could not remain, and; at five o'clock.
a descent into the jungle seemed inevi-
table. He at this time observed there
was not a breath of wind over the sur
face of the jungle for 5000 feet in
height. Either he must come down at
once or be enveloped in darkness, and
have no chance of getting out of the
jungle. Even with light the chance Of
being extricated seemed small. While
slowly descending, and at an altitude
of 10000 feet, in an otherwise perfect
ly clear atmosphere, a vast plain of in
tense white toward the north was open
to view. He could not form any con-
ception as to the cause of this phenom-
enon, except that the rays from the set
ting sun had come in contact with a
cold blast from snowy range in the
Himalayas. He continued his descent,
and very soon the phenomenon was lost;
but although every moments delay in
| creased the risk in landing, he could not
resist the temptation of reascending to
try and fathom this mystery, but did not
succeed. At 5:15 he was within 1000
feet of terra firma, a rather inappro-
pirate name for the locality. A huge
crocodile was moving toward him with
impressive steadiness, and when he came
down into the mud and r,lshes, which
for miles around were over ten feet in
height, he could see the monsters head
level with the bIlrushes. Fortunately,
there was enough ballast left to throw
overheard just as the monster was with
in fifty yards of the balloon, and this
enabled Mr.. Lynn to rise above the
thick Jungle to the length of the Crap
pling-rope. about thirty feet. The
story that the crocodile cannot turn
rapidly was in this case disproved,
as this one ran round the graphing
rope. Having called Justify for help,
Mr.. Lynn found some natives making
their way toward him, wading through
the thick mud and rushes. AS the
rushing sound was made on all sides,
the crocodile made of. About half q
dozen natives were induced, after much
persuasion, to hold the rope, and, ulti.
mately, the balloon was waited over the
Jungle and across creeks for nearly
three miles, until small, dry space was
reached.

A Swarm Of VS..

THE first American paper published
on the Pacific Coast was the Califor-
MAN, the first number of which was
issued at Monterey in the fall of 1876.
The types and press once belonged to
the Spanish authorities and were used
to print their public documents. Ev-
erything used was in state of dilapi-
dation, but that seemed to be of minor
consideration as soon as it was posi-
bic to put forth a sheet containing let
tiers, whether they were legible or not.
Instead of WIS two VS. were used. In
explanation of this the following ap-
pcared:

ter, and has no WIS (W's) in it, as

have sent to the Sandwich Islands for
this letter, in the meantime we must
use two VS.. Our paper at present is
that used for wrapping cigars; in due
time we will have something better;
our object is to establish a press in
California, and this in all probability
we shall be able to accomplish. The
absence of my partner for the past
three months, and my duties as Alcalde
here have deprived our little paper of
some of those attentions which hope
it will hereafter receive.

An Indian Dish Mandatory.

EARLY in the present month, Mr.. H.
N. Angel, of this city, while quarry
ing about a ledge in Johnston, came
upon what appears to have been an
Indian mandatory of dishes. Let no
one suppose that a building equipped
with furnaces and furnished with tools
has been unearthed. The Indians
who roamed over the Johnston Hills
were delightfully."- primitive in their
manufacturing enterprises, as in other
things. They made their dishes of
soap-stone. The soap-stone bed, the
existence of which has hitherto been
unknown, lies between two slate
lodges. When Mr.. Angels workmen
uncovered the bed it was about six
feet under ground. Attention was first
attracted to it by finding quantities of
pulverized stone. Carload after cart
load was carried away before any one
had the least idea what the curious
substance was. At last the workmen
came upon rock SO curiously uneven
as to attract attention at once. The
whole surface of the rock was covered
with hollows and projections. Guam
titles of Indian hammers and axes
were then discovered, and then the
truth began to dawn upon the mind
of the explorers. The soap-stone bed
was about twenty-five feet wide, and it
was cleared off as rapidly as possible
for fifty or sixty feet.
In the space thus cleared, one sees
Just how the former owners of the soil
shaped their rude vessels. The soap
stone is quite soft. The adjoining
slate is very hard, and it could not
have been very difficult, with suita-
bly, shaped pieces of slate, to cut away
the soap-stone, leaving the proposed
vessel solid, of course, bottom side up
on the rock. Chipping under the pro-
lection thus formed. room was gained

The Polar Regions.

MIR. JAMES GORDON BENNETT is quite
in earnest in his determination to make
another effort for the discovery of the
North Pole. Having purchased the
Pandora--thc vessel which he and Capt.
Young sent on an Arctic Expedition
two years ago-Mr. Bennett has pre-
sentcd a memorial to Congress, stating
that as it is his intention to equip and
man this vessel at his own expense, with
view of solving, if possible, the Polar
problem, he desires permission to have
the Pandora transferred to the Amcri-
can flag, commanded by American Ma
val officers and made subject to Ameri-
can Naval discipline. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Benefits request may be
speedily granted; and it would be
well if, in passing the bill required,
Congress should accompany it with
some words of commentator of Mr..
Benefits patriotic desire that his own
country should share in the glory of the
discovery which he hopes the Pandora
will accomplish. For our own part,
we are confident that MIR. Benefits new
enterprise will not fail to elicit for him
the warm praise of his countrymen.
We wish Mr.. Bennett all success with
the Pandora; and we wish also that
success may crown the Arctic Expedi-
tons from other countries, which are
now or may be undertaken. But we
repeat what we said the other day
that in our opinion the North Pole is u
Plevna which cannot be taken by as
sault, but which will surely fall at the
end of siege conducted in the manner
Of all successful siegcs, by means of
gradual approaches, and with plenti-
sful expenditure of time, skill and pa
tiencc. MIR. Bennett hopes, as SO many
before him have hoped, to carry the
Pole by coup dc main. We should be
rcjoiccd at his success; but we fear the
voyage of the Pandora will add only
onc more to the long and dreary record
plan of colonization, gradual and steady
approaches until the fortress is in clear
view and its dcfenses rendered nugato-
ry, and then a dash forward to seize it.
This plan, we say, if steadfastly persist
ed in, can scarcely fail of success. The
colony once fairly planted and in good
working order, every season will see it
nearer to its goal; and when one of the
warm summers arrives and the great
Polar Sea is open, the colony, being on
the spot and ready for action, can dash
forward and grasp the prize.
We understand that Mr.. Bennett in
tends to dispatch the Pandora by way
of the Spitzbergen, or European, route.
The Howgate, or Colonization Expedi-
ton, proceeds by way of Smiths Sound,
or the American route. 1t is possible
that the Pandora may meet the Col
onization Expedition at some point in
Northern Greenland; but the fate of all
previous expeditions ria Spitzbergen
justifies grave doubts as to this being
the practicable route to the Pole.-N

The Treaty Of Peace.

The Treaty of Peace between Russia
and Turkey, signed at San Stefano,
definitely settles the limits of Bulgaria,
Servia and Montenegro. The bounda-
ries of Roumania, fixed by the Treaty
of Paris, could not properly be consid-
cred at San Stefano, and the boundaries
of Modern Greece, fixed by England,
Russia and France, could not be
changed by any action of Russia and
Turkey. So the Treaty of CONSTANT
nople, signed at San Stefano, covers
only questions in which Russia and
Turkey are directly interested.
1t was the aim Of Russia to include
in the new tributary Kingdom of Bull
garia all the territory of the ancient
Kingdom of that name. The section
known to the Turks as Bulgaria only
included what would be properly
Northern Bulgaria, or the section be-
tween the Danube and the Balkans.
Central Bulgaria lies between ranges
of the Balkan and the Rhodope Noun
tains, and includes Adrianople, Philip
popolis and Sophia. Southern Bull
garia lies between the Rhodope Noun
tains and frontiers of Ancient Greece,
and includes Salonica, Yenidie and
other ports on the Egean Sea.
The friends of Bulgarian Nationality
have in very many ways aimed to keep
alive their language, and to maintain
the National spirit of the race. In this
interest schools have been established
and societies formed. The real centers
of this National feeling were Sophia,
Phillippopolis and Yenidje, on the
Egean Sea. Russia would have failed
to accomplish her purpose had she not
insisted on including in the new King
dom OF Bulgaria the greater portion Of
the Bulgarians. There are as many
Bulgarians south of the Balkans as
north, and all are Christians. As fixed
by the treaty, the Bulgarian boundaries
will include Northern, Central and q
part of Southern Bulgaria, as known
