A STRANGE TRADITION. Among The
Seminole Indians there is singular
tradition regarding the white mans origin
and superiority. They say when the
Great Spirit made the earth he also
made three men, all of whom were fair
complexioned, and that after making
them he led them to the margin of n
small lake, and bade them leap in and
and wash. One oheyed, and came out
purer and whittier than before the second
hestated moment, during which time
the water, agitated by the first, had be-
come muddled, and when he hathed, he
came up copper colored the third did
not leap until the water became black
with mud, and he came out with his own
color. Then the Great Spirit laid before
them three packages, aid ont Of pity for
the misfortunes in color, he gave to the
black man the first choice. He took
hold of each of the packages, and having
felt the weight chose the heaviest the
copper colored man chose the next
heaviest, leaving the white man the
lightest. When the packages were
opened the first was found to contain
hoes, spades, and all the implements of
labor; the second unwrapped hunting,
fishing, and warlSe apparatus the third
gave the white man pens, ink, and pa
per; the engine of the mind-the means
OF mutual, mental improvement, the 80
cial link OF humanity, the foundation
of the white mans superiority.

/ THE TELEPHONE UNDER WATER
Various are the surprises which blossom
out of that wonderful Instrument, the tel
ephone. In France they have applied it
for marine purposes. The French war
steamer Bessie had to tow out from Tou
Ion the old ship A1gonaute. A conduct
ing wire was rolled round one of the
towing cables, with an end on board each
vessel. A telephone was introduced in
the circuit or each, and communication
established between them. During the
whole time Of the navigation conversation
couid be carried on as easily between the
officers on the two vessels as if they had
been seated in the same cabin. The next
step was to apply the telephone to the
work of the diver. One of the glasses of
the helmet is replaced by a copper plate,
in which is inserted telephone, so that
the man has only slight movement of
the head to make in order to receive com
municatons or report observations. The
advantages Of such arrangement are OBJ
vous. Frequently at sea the necessity
arises of examining the keel or bottom
Of q ship. The diver descends, and is
able to give an account of all he sees
and does, and receives instructions with

man at the bottom of the sea can remain
in constant communication with those at
the su face. But :he most singular ap.
plication Of the telephone comes from
New South Wales, where Mr.. Severn,
an enthusiastic experimenter, claims that
he has made the deaf to hear with. it. -
After describing very simple telephone,
which he constructed out OF tin pot,
the closed end of which he opened and
tied over it a piece of parchment, passing
a fire string through the center and
making knot inside, Mr. Severn says
Make a loop in the string some four feet
long, put this loop over the forehead Of
the listener tthe deaf 'man), cause him to
place the palms of his hands fiat and
hard against his ears, let the loop pass
over the hands, and now this listener
will hear the smallest whisper, let him
be deaf or not. This fact may appear
extraordinary it is, nevertheless, true
that deaf man may thus be made to
hear tho vnica i1Dsip ntn

PoRTuGEsE CoURTsHIP. - The young
men of Portugal have one occupation
more important than wearing tight boots,
and which almost, in fact, goes with il
that Of baking the very mildest form
of love know among men. The young
eentlemen pay their addresses by simply
standing in front of the house occupied
by the object of their affections, while
the Young person in question looks down
approvingly from an upper window, and
there the matter ends. They are not
within speaking distance, and have to
eontent themselves with expressive
glanees and dumb show, for it would be
thought highly unbecoming for the young
lady to allow q billet doux to flutter down
into the street, while the laws Of gravita-
lion stand in the way OF the upward
flight of such document, unweghted,
at least, with stone, and this, OF couse,
might risk giving the young lady a
black eye, or breaking her fathers win
dow panes. So tha lovers there remain,
often for hours, feeling, no doubt, very
happy, but looking unnIterably foolish
There silent courtships sometimes con-
tinue for very long periods before the
lover can ask .he fatal question, or the
lady return the fnal answer.

and requested the privilege Of dipositipg
box they had with them in the house
for the night, which was refused, but
they were allowed to place 1t in the store.
The next morning the men called for
the box, but the store keeper had missed
a piece Of cloth from his counter, and on
further examination he found that he
had been robbed Of We hundred dollars
and consequently refused to let them
have the box. The store keeper obtained
assistance, secured the two men and
opened the box, when, 10 out jumped a
man; and in the box were found the
money, goods, ETC., which had been
stolen. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

A PRACTICAL BoY.-The young person
ofthe oil region in Pennsylvania is "cool

near Pe.relia accidentally shot himself
in the abdomen. The wound WAS not
very dangerous, so he endeayored to
conceal il from his father. Nextmorning,
however, the father compelled his off
spring to show up, when it was discover
ed that he had cut the ball, which lay
near the surface, out with a razor. In
the meantime he had drunk u large guam
tity of water, as he said, "to see if he
leaked ;" and finding that he was not fl-
teriug quietly settled down to take it
easy until be gets well.

Ferriere and Camilla de Pietro.
Prince Amadeus has arrived here to

Cardinal Simeoni has ceased to exer.
else the functions of Secretary of State.
The conduct of affairs devolves upon

The official gazette of the Italian
Government pays a tribute of eulogy
to Plus IX.. and promulgated orders
for a suspension of all public amuse
inents while the remains are lying in
state.
The official declaration of the physi-
clan who attended the Pope during his
illness, is published. 1t states that the
Immediate cause of death was paraly-
sis of the lungs.
The Italian projects and military
authorities have been ordered to pay
the late Pope sovereign honors, but to
await an Ecclesiastical invitation before
attending the funeral.
The Italia says the congregations
have decided, only by a majority of
three, to hold the conclave in Rome. 1t
will wait the arrival of foreign Car
dinals before taking any final resolu-
ton. All the Cardinals here, except
Monseigneurs Amos and P~arabearco,
who are sick, attended the preliminary
congregation in the Hall of the Consis-

Pope should lie in state three days in
the Basilica of ST. Peters. The cere-
monies will last, altogether, nine days,
after which the conclave will meet.
The Italian Court and Ministry have
notified the Cardinal Vicar that they
will attend the funeral if proper places

LONDON, Feb. o.
The effect Of sending a feet to Con-
stantinople, on the part of the Rus
SLAMS, is anticipated with considerable
anxiety. Although the order has been
otherwise explained to Russia, it is
meant to take every appearance of a
menace There is reason to a~pprehend
that Russia will feel irritated, because,
as said by an attache of the Russian
Embassy, the move looks as If Eng
land suspects that the Russians intend
to enter Constantinople and the fleet is
sent there to prevent the carrying out
Of such a purpose.
A st. Petersburg correspondent says
the Russian war party construe the
movement as a violation Of neutrality
and a direct and unwarranted impeach-
ment of Russian good faith. He says
it is looked upon as a defiance of Rus
STA by England.
The statement of the Chancellor OF
the E~xchequer. that the fleet was sent
to C~onstantinople to protect British
subjects from violence, is regarded as
hypocritical, and produces great indig-
nation.
The Russian extremists demand that
war shall at once be declared against
England, or, rather, that the sending

VICTORIA, b. c., Feb. s..
A bar of gold valued at Sl63 81, OBJ
tanned by crushing 81 tons of quartz
from the outcrop of the Perseverance
mine, adjoining the Wilkinson shaft,
was brought down last evening. The
yield is about S26 so to the o II Cooper,
who located the Cooper claim on the
bonanza ledge, at the expense of
$4S so, sold put for $4,000 cash to a
company. Great confidence is felt in
the future OF the country. Scarcely a
man or woman, with a few hunired to
spare, can be found in that part of the
province who does not own shares in
quartz claims. Labor is already
scarce at Cariboo, as everybody there
either already owns a claim or
is engaged in an endeavor to
discover one. Several companies are
already doing good work. The st.
Laurents and American are driving a
tunnel on their claim through which a
team could be driven. Cariboo shares
have been sold as high as S.. The
company known as the Lord and Lady
Dufferin are reported to have struck a
ledge crossing Groupe creek, and
lodges have been traced a. far as Ant
Ter. The weather is splendid. There
is very little snow in the interior, and
there has been neither ice nor snow for
two years at Victoria.
The third session of the present Leg
islature was opened to day by the Gov
ernor. In his speech great stress was
laid on the present and prospective
prosperity of the country in conse-
quence of the gold quartz discoveries
at Cariboo, and the steady develop
ment OF the fishery, lumber and coal
interests. The speech will be consid.
cred on Monday next.
