A Mystery Explained.

The skeleton found recently in an abandoned lead mine at Ellenville, Ul- ster county, N. Y., which was being re- opened, has been identified as the re- mains of telegraph operator named David Smith, who disappeared mysteri- ously from Ellenville in February, 1866. Smith, then twenty-two years old, was supposed by his family to have gone away on account of love affair. His mother, who resides at Accord, Ulster county, has identified the clothing. A medical examination of the skeleton dis closed stiff hip joint, which was the case with Smith. Neither watch nor money was found with the remains, though Smith carried both. The gen. eral belief i'll Ellenville is that Smith was murdered. Rumor charges the crime to man now dead, whose home was near the mine where the body was found. Just before his disappearance Smith had trouble at dance with this man, whose name is Joseph Fleicker, and who was of a violent temper, and cruel to his family. Three years ago Fleicker became insane, and before be- ing confined frequently visited the old
 mine. He would cry, There he goes {; there he goes," seeming to see some one
 going down the shaft. Ills was taken to the Willard Asylum at Ovid, N. Y.,
 where he died. Remorse is supposed to have caused his insanity.

Digging His Own Grave.

The quiet little village of Warmers vile, Schoharie County, N. r., was re- gently the scene of sensation which has worked its rural inhabitants into state of intense excitement. The facts are as follows Several of the village youths, who, by the way, are prone to mischief and youthful wickedness, met few days ago for: the express purpose of having what they termed "glorious drunk" ....
 One of the preliminaries was the con- struction of coffin, made of rough boards, into which it was agreed that the one who first became intoxicated should beplaced. They then proceeded to "punish large quantities of poor whisky, and one of their number, being the first to succumb to the effects of the vile potions, was put into the coffin and the lid nailed on. By this time the whole party were in such state of in- toxication that they were equal to any act of cruelty.
 A rope was then attached to the coffin, which they proceeded to drag, together with it's drunken occupant, up and down the highway for long time. When ct last they grew tired of this sport and opened the cofiu, the young man was found to be nearly dead from the close confinement and the rough treatment to which he had been subjected. One of their number, young fellow by the name of Marcle, was so warmed up by his severe exertions that he caught heavy cold, was taken sick, and in less than week there was a genuine funeral and he occupied the coffin. Only 8 few days before young Marcle, being in cemetery with some companions, remarked, "The next grave you dig here you may dig for me-"

Life in LeadyilIe.

When the history of the great Car bonate camp is written, says Leadville (Colorado) paper, it will contain many startling stories of how fortunes have been lost and made since it's discovery. The latest of these comes from Fryer Hill, in connection with the Deer Lodge Mine. Like many other mines in this coveted locality, the Deer Lodge has been valuable heretofore, chiefly for location. Friday, at noon, the shaft had reached a depth of one hundred and thirty feet, was working in iron and porphyry, and the prospects looked bright to 8 party of capitalists contem- plating purchase. After debating the matter for time, they concluded that an interest would or might be good thing, and asked
 Gentlemen, what will you take for a half interest in the Deer Lodge ?'
 "Ten thousand dollars, if taken be- fore five tonight.
 The matter was taken under advise. ment, and the sale of the interest in trusted to the Mining Exchange, on Harrison avenue, where further talk and negotiations were carried on, and the good and bad points of the Deer Lodge dwelt upon by the parties desiring to purchase and the brokers offering it fol sale. However, late in the afternoon negotiations ceased, and nothing further was thought of the mine, at least by the Mining Exchange people, who felt con. fdent that the property was desirable one, until one of the owners put in ar appearance at the office about siz o'clock. As soon as he opened the door without betraying any anxiety, he in' quired:
 "Have you sold that interest in the Deer Lodge, offered this afternoon fo, ten thousand dollars ?''
 "No, sir; the parties are still consid. ing the matter"
 "Good That half interest is now worth sixty thousand dollars P At about half-past five o'clock in the evening the working force at the bottom of the shaft, having reached depth oi one hundred and thirty-fve feet, sent up the cheering intelligence that high grade mineral had been struck, samples of which were hurried to the surface and into the presence of the owners.
 As might well be imagined under the circumstances, the strike was kept very quiet, and the owners became nervous, fearing that the interest offered for 3D. 900 would be taken before the time elapsed when, according to agreement, it might be rejected. One of the fortu- nate owners was at once started for the city to ascertain the facts, with the re- suit above given.

The Music of Telegraph Wires.

Every boy living in the country near a telegraph line has listened to the hum which car be of!e1 helrd near a tele- graph pole. It is a juvenile theory that the noise is cau.ed by the passage of the messages. The moro general notion has been that it was caused by the wind. A writer in an Australian journal, how ever, calls attention to the fact that one who will give close observation to both the wire and tho sounds will find that the latter make themselves obvious when there is total absence of wind; and in quiet morning in winter, when the wires appear to be covered with frost to the thickness of finger, they neverthe- less carry on lively vibrations while the air is totally quiet. According to this writer, therefore, the vibrations are due not to the wind, but to changes of at- mospheric temperature, cold producing shortening of the wires extending over the whole length of the conductor. A considerable amount of friction is pro- duced on the supporting bells, thus in- ducing sound both in the wires and the oo1es

A Peculiar Case.

A peculiar case is attracting the at- tention of the medical fraternity in Hal lowell, Maine, according to the Register, the subject being 8 German by the name of Witzler. Some time last fall MT. Witzler is stated to have vomited what seemed to be 8 specimen of the leech or lizard species, fully three inches in length. Since that time, the sufferer has been under advice of different phy- sicians, and last week the administering of pretty strong dose relieved him of some 200 of these strange formations, varying from one-eighth of an inch to two inches in length. MT. Witzler was at one time engaged in peddling, and is supposed to have imbibed the eggs of the leech or lizard at some spring. A subscription has been raised to send MT. Witzler to New York for treatment in some hospital.

DOMESTIC RECIPES.

RICH BROWN SoUP.-Take six pounds of lean fresh beef cut from the bone, stick it over with four dozen cloves and season it with a teaspoonful of salt, one of pepper, one of mace, and one of ground nutmeg, slice six onions and fry in butter; spread them over the meat after you have put it into the soup-pot; pour in five quarts of water, and let it stew slowly for six hours, skimming it well when the meat is all boiled to shreds strain it, and return the liquor to the pot; simmer slowly, and when reduced to three quarts it is done, and may be sent to table.
 To BoI1 RICE SAVANNAH FASHION. Take one pound of rice and pick it thoroughly to get out black seeds or red rice. Put on the fire, in porcelain or tin-lined pot, three quarts of water, with two even tablespoonfuls of salt. Let the water come to boil. Now wash the rice in three waters. The reason for this is to get rid of the pulv verized rice-four which adheres to the grain. This is necessity; otherwise the rice never will be dry. Throw the rice in the water when it is at the full boil. Let the rice boil rapidly for twenty minutes. Put the cover on and drain the water entirely of. Cover the pot, shake we'll, and put on the back of the stove, where it is not too hot, for fifteen minutes. This evaporates any | of the water. Shake the rice into the dish you wish to serve it in. Never use spoon. Rice should never be glutinous. The Ghoul that ate rice grain by grain in the "Arabian Nights '' ate properly cooked rice.

 The Message sent to Congress by the President was very short, and asked simply that the necessary appropriations to run the Government be made. Ac- companying the Presidents Message are estimates from the Secretary of the Treasury of the money needed for the Army and the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the Government. These estimates are the same as those submitted at the opening of the last ses- sion, with the exception of the items provided for at that session.
