was uninjured. The mystery, how
ever, is, how did it find its way
there? The beans, we believe,
came direct from Egypt, and OF
course, as some one must have lost
the ring in that country, means
were taken, and we believe with
success, to find the rightful owner,
The far-traveled ring has returned
to the East" In the Scotsman of
January 8, 1878, a correspondent
gives this curious instance of the
loss and recovery Of a ring: "About
three weeks ago two gentlemen
were out fishing on Loch Eriboli,
northwest of Sutherlandshire, and
one Of them dropped a valuable ring
into the water. Last week fisher,
man on the same loch had among
his haul pretty large cod, and in,
side it was found the identical rine
safe and sound. The fisherman
was handed pound note on his re-
turning the ring to the owner"

Leprosy IN oalirOrpia.

Two GASES Of leprosy among the
Chinese in San Francisco have
given rise TO considerable apprehen-
sion. One of the lepevs was found
lying abandoned in the street in the
Chinese quarter of the city, and his
countrymen passed him by in
throngs, refusing to give him relief
in any form or to touch him. lie
was placed by white men in a fruit
wagon, from which a load of or
anges had just been sold, aAd was
taken to the Chinese hospital, but
was there denied admission. lie
was then taken to the hospital OF
the city prison, The other leper
was discovered in the jail, and was
utilized as a lecture specimen by
the Academy Of Sciences. These
paSep will show whether the fear o
oontagion displayed by the country
men of the sufferers is well founded
for the two wretches were freely
handled by white men. The intro
duction Of leprosy into tho llaw
aiian Islands has been a great Ca
lamity to them, and the possibilt,
OF q similar curse to California i
not viewed with equanimity. IL

broke down. Disraeli, who was
staying at Sandour, a few miles dis
tant, happened to pass in his car
riage, and seeing our dilemma i'm
mediately volunteered to convey the.
lady to the hotel at Black Gang,
which was thankfully accepted, as,
although not much hurt, she was
very nervous.
Mr.. Disraeli, who has never been
considered a sympathetic man by

Happy MS. OonH.

What q glorious privilege it is to
a woman to be able to hold the
candle for q great man. The wife
of the gifted gabbler, Joseph Cook,
is only known as being "a sort Of
private secretary" to her husband.
When he sees in a newspaper a
paragraph pertinent to the scien-
tifc method, he marks it with a
crayOn. Newspaper correspondents
are careful to note that it is red
crayon he uses. So important do
triles become in connection with
true greatness. After looking over
them he tosses the newspapers aside
helter-skelter, great-man fashion.
His wife meekly gathers them up
and examines each to find the in
tellectual red crayon mark. She
cuts out such extracts as are indi-
Gated and puts them in a scrap
book. This is the way she i'm
proves her mind daily. She never
thinks of being intellectual on her
own hook. To bo known as the
humble assistant of the greatest
wind-bag of his time is honor
enough for her, Happy Mrs. Joe

CHAPTER V.
DRY up and suspend /"

-lAnonymous.
The news of the muder of Rode
rigo spread with lightning rapidity
throughout the city. The "peel-
ers" were on the alert, and by the
orders of Sid Cook the count was
arrested, and the mutilated cigar
was found on his person.
Isabella was summoned as wit
ness, but, alas, could give no evil
dence-She had become an idtoti
The count endeayored to prove
that the blood upon the mutilated
cigar was not arterial; but he was
found guilty and sentenced to be
hanged.
But, bark! what cry is that that
breaks on the startled ear
"Ere's the Dodger- third 'di-
ton = got the recovery Of Rode
rigo."
The whole edition sold rapidly
four quires and half.
The news was true; Roderigo
was not mortally wounded, and
with the fumes from one of Cole
mans best cigars, and the aid OF
the q" retired physician whose sands
of life had nearly run out" recov-
cred his usual health.
But little remains for US to re-
late. The Count D'MincOmglass
was released through the interces-
sion of RoderigO, and left the
United States to spend the balance
of his miserable life in Arkansas.
In a fit of diabOlical passion, at
hearing Of the marriage of Rode.
rigo Macferguwog to the Lady lsa'
bella D'Fitzimpkina, he dashed bis
brains out with a Cuba ShoFt-siy.
Isabella, after the murder, pro
cured a divorce from the count
Roderigo, after his marriage and il
honorof the mutilated stump wbicl
had procured him SO much Joy, or
dered a large quantity Of Sol Cole
mans best cigars. He and the Lad!
Isabella lived happily together
with lots of Silver Dollars ant
plenty of Babies surrounding them
Whenever RoderigO needs cigars b
sends to 316 Main street Cor o fresl
supply. Thus our DER true tale
( like a well smoked cigar, has com
to an end.

what extent the disease now exists
there among the Chinese is not
known, and there is no way of dis
covering. The mortality returns
report nearly all the deaths that
occur among them to result from
''causes unknown" and a large pro-
portion of them may be owing to
this disease. Now that it is known
to exist in the city, it becomes i'm
