owing to the illness of the mayor and presi-
dent of the board Of health, who arc supposed

New Orleans is reported free from the fever.
At Memphis August Is, fourteen new

Is to perform the same voyage with similar
cargo four times in the course of the present
year; and, be it observed, other ships
are engaged in the same traffic. All the
CHASTITY tales that were told during the late

OF the Russian authorities toward the nihil-
ist convicts. What precedes refers only to
those who are sentenced to transportation;
but the fate of the nihilist prisoners at home
Is no less horrible, and the exclamation of
the Russian captain that, if his wards died
from the effects of the atrocious treatment
to which they were subject, it would be 60
the much better for all parties, might be ap-
propriately repeated by the director of every
jail in the Russian empire.

Old and z oung.

A man is ordinarily said to be young,
even in this country, where we live prefer
naturally fast, mp to 35 or 40, to be middle
aged from 40 to 30, and not to be positively
old, il he be of sound health and well
preserved, until he shall have reached go or
thereabout. This estimate Of years would
indicate the normal age of man to be 100,
Gas Button declares it should be,) though
his average age is scarcely 80, and 60 is
much beyond it. What reason Is there,
then, for speaking of 35 to 40 as young, and
40 to so as middle age? None, unless ws
consider that we begin practical and useful
existence, as we really do, with the attain
ment of our legal majority and. as . rule,
people have very little life-S0 to 35 years
after that. It is common to speak of men,
especially in public positions, of 60, as in
their prime. A very few appear to be 50.
notably in Europe but they are not actual
ly, since, at 75, the public distrusts them
merely from their age. The great majority
Of men ara buried and forgotten before they
have gained three-score and he who is In
his prime then, in seeming sense, is an ex-
ceptional as he who lives to 90or 95. We
all like to delude ourselves in respect to
life. When our neighbor is 60, he appears
to be very old. When we are Of that age,
we are not young, to DO sure but we feel
as young, wa say, rs ever in fact, we are
in our prime. While we can creep around,
and are in possession Of our faculties, we
insist that we are not very old; but our
friends. Smith and Brown, with not q year

Queer Post. Boxes.
Boston Transcript.

.s.f
They appear to have very curious way
Of posting letters in some Of the letter
boxes in remote India stations. The re-
ceiving boxes are about the size of a child a
savings bank according to one account; ac-
cording to another. about the size of milk
pan, and when the "chupprassies come
up laden with the bulky official missives
they are accompanied by a babu" to
empty the box as soon as filed. The Z" ba-
bu /" will not take the letters from the
" chupprassies I" unless they pass through
the box, even though to make the passage
they have to be vigorously thrust over with
stick. But he is not altogether oblivious
TO the necessities of such case. When a
letter makes its appearance which by no
mortal ingenuity can be squeezed into the
box, he opens the lever door and places his
bag under it. The messenger then thrusts
his letter into the box until one enc appears
at the lower door. It must not be pulled
out, but by the aid Of stout stick it is
crammsd, jammed and smashed into aud
out Of the box, falling in due course into
the bag And no persuasion can induce
the sbabu" to act otherwise. The missive
must be posted and issue from the boz in
due obedience to red tape. And yet people
say that India is a backward country.

Hot Water in q Bonanza.
Virginia City (Nev..l Enterprise.

Virginia City (Nev..) Enterprise
At the Juliet mine, last Wednesday, a
powerful stream of hot water was struck in
the crosscut on the z, 900 foot level. The
Burleigh drill was set to drill a hole in the
face OF the crosscut at point about two
feet from the bottom. When the drill had
advanced about two feet into the rock, there
occurred tremendous burst of hot water
from the hole. The stream of water was
equal to "a miners inches, and it was scald-
ing hot. It was spouted to the distance of
several feet diagonally across the drift,
spreading as it few till all the space was
filed with the scalding spray and steam.
The steam filed the end of the crosscut
where stood the man who had been running
the drill. He was held close prisoner, as
be could not pass out through the jets OF
boiling water, and even in bis prison he was
in danger of being suffocated and cooked
by the steam and heat. He would proba-
bly, not have escaped alive but for the drill.
BE opened the exhaust valve and allowed
the whole head of compressed air TO rush
out in full and steady stream, and this
not only furnished him pure air to breath,
but also cooled and projected his head and
the whole upper part Of his body, His fell
low workmen were soon aware of bis peril
ous positiou--for the roar and rush of the
water could be heard great distance-but
they could no more pass 10 to where he was
than he could pass out. Finally the men
went out and procured some heavy gum
boots reaching to the hips and large and
heavy gum coats. Gnarded by these one of
the men dashed in through the steam and
scalding spray, carrying 70 the prisoner 2
like ontfit. Shielded By their. heavy gum
clothing the pair rushed forth and waded
along the drift. Altogether il was . Pc
culiar affair, and one that might have end
ed seriously but Cor the supply of pure air
furnished by the pipe leading to the drill.
As il was the miner had bis leg pretty
badly scalded. The water is still pouring
in, st last cconnts was sloaly gaining

4 Interview with Hon. Abraham Hewitt in New York
H. Sab. -
4. "The revival of the iron trade, !" said the
Hon. Abram 8. Hewitt, yesterday, sitting
in his Office at II Burling slip, I" is the le-
gitimate result of the revival OF business
generally. In February said in Congress
that as soon as we came down to q basis of
solid values--that is. values measured by
gold-we should have prosperity. The
trouble was not that we had no money.
There was plenty of capital, but shere was
lack OF confidence. Capitalists were
afraid to invest their money when We had 3
/ deprecated and fuctuating currency. Now
that values are fixed, an era of prosperity
| begins. Railroads are being constructed,
factories built, western settlements are rap
idly springipg up, and long -hoarded capital
is again ia circulation. In short, there is
general increase Of prosperity. A revival
Of the iron trade never preoedes, but fol-
lows q revival of general business. Iron is
needed to carry out the revival When an
era of prosperity begins, when trade re-
wives and great enterprises are planned, iron
is needed to carry on the work. Hence the
revival of the iron trade is proof positive of
revival of business generally. The evil
dence is this a: Every iren-ssorks that kept
at work during the period of depression is
now overrun with orders, is working at its
full capacity aud unable to fill it's orders.
Others that had to stop operations are now
going to work again. The raw material
for making iron ores, pig and scrap iron
has advanced from 10 to % per cent. Coal
alone has not advanced. The reason is un-
usual. It is because the producers have
capacity for putting coal on the market far
in advance of the demand, and not war
ranted by the condition of things. Hence
coal can't 90 up. r4i
|" But, as said, there is no doubt that
we are beginning an era of healthful pros
perity. Nothing can check it. We are the
granary Of the world. Our crop this year is
enormous. Industries thrive. Last year
we put down oyer 5000 miles of railroad.
This year it will be 4, 600. Many iron man.
ufacturers that were able took advantage
of the period Of depression and rebuilt their
furnaces. Under the most approved plans
iron can be made as low as $13 ton. The
profit of 81 on a ton is not great, but it is
remunerative, and so the outlook is en-
couraging. tt7 .H5a= s ng.l
. "The only question is whether the pros
perity will continue. It is bound to con-
tinue, 1 think, but we shall have no era of
high prices: simply a healthy, remunera-
tive business, with moderate prices that
will enable consumers to go on with their
enterprises. This ia true prosperity. High |
prices check progress. We have got to
that stage when everything will go on with
out an era of high prices" s a

Some twenty-three miles distant from
Knightstown, Ind, ,is German settlement,
where there is a beautiful young woman,
some twenty-one years of age, daughter Of
Casper Schmidt, who is to all appearances
quite dead, having been in that state for
nearly twelve months past She awakens,
however, once every twenJy-four hours,
precisely vt ten o'clock at night, and will
converse with the family and others for
about twenty minutes. when she will again
relapse into the comatose state and remain
80 until ten o'clock the following night, at
which heur she revives to the minute,
throwing out her arms and folding her
hands together until the spectators imagine
that her bones are cracking. She remains
in that laborisns state for the space of, ten
minutes, when she comes to perfect pos
session of her faculties. A singular fea-
ture of the case is that the young lady rec
elects we'll ii any promises have been,
made her the previous night, and will be,
very fEetful for a time if they are not
fulfilled ! but7 II the things ara brought :.
her she makes use Of none OF them, as she
eats or drinks little or nothing at all, She,
she conld never be persuaded to eat any
food but three times daring thirty-two
days, and then tho three put together she
did net eat any more than child . year old
would take. After conyersing o few min
utes this yremarkable young lady will sud-
denly clasp her hands together in the same
manner as when awakening, and will re-,
turn into the same somnolsnt state as be-
fore until ten O'Clock the following night.
