Hereditary Singularities.

Senior Englen reported to the
French Academy, recently, the Pc
culiarity of six fingers on each hand
and six toes on each foot in the first
generation. In the second genera
ton, no irregularity. In the third,
six toes on each foot. In the hand
there were only the middle and ring
fingers. In the fourth generation,
six fingers and toes on each hand
and foot. In the fifth generation,
three boys and one girl had natural
number; but in the next girl there
were six fingers on the left hand, and
only the middle and ring fingers on
right hand. In the sixth genera
ton, one daughter with six fingers,
who had five children, one Of whom
had two thumbs on each hand.

Boots and Shoes from a Negroes
Hide.

The Penny Press says that DR..
Schneider has taken the skin OF
negro, which he has dissected, to the
tannery situated on Franklin street,
Just out of Columbus, where it is
now being made into leather. A re-
porter who examined the piece of
skin found 1t extremely tough and
liable to do good service if put into
CATERS. 1t seems strange use to
make of humanity's remains, though.
The tanner stroked and twitched it
and dilated upon its good qualities.
The process of tanning is to rub it
with mixture of alum, salt and
eggs, which draws out all the oil
from the skin and saves months of
time. Perhaps new industry is
opening up in the city and perhaps
some of those who are perfectly
worthless in life may be made to do
duty after they have quit Imagine
the sensation, however, a dainty lady
carressingly putting on glove made
from the skin of darkey she
wouldn't have touched without a
shudder while in life, or of the
thoughts that must come to maid
when she takes off her CATERS at
night with the knowledge that even
so small part of man is alone
with her. Ugh!- Rochester Demp-

Practical Whist.

In his recently published "Art of
Practical Whist" Colonel Draysoh
summarizes his conclusions as fol-
lows: 81 would, therefore, after care
fully weighing all the arguments
that have been urged by former
writer's, and comparing these with
the result of my own experience in
whist, be disposed to reverse the di-
rections connected with forcing, and
say: sUnless your partner has shown
great strength in trumps, wish to
get them drawn, or has refused to
ruff a doubtful card, give him the
option of making q small trump,
unless you have some good reason
for not doing so other than a weak
suit of trumps IN your own hand"

AN HONORABLE MAN,

The recent change in the manage
ment Of the Bullion and Ex-
chequer mining companies will
probably involve change in
the SUPPLEMENTARY of those mines
and in that case the stockholders
will suffer an irreparab!e loss. A
more jealous or honester Superin-,
tendent than Il. A. Schultz does not
exist. In the palmy days of the
Justice, when according to the re-
port of the investigating committee)
hundreds of thousands of dollars be-
longing to the stockholders were
either squandered or misappopriated
by the management, Superintendent
Schultz not only had no share in the
steal, but lie actually refused to
draw his salary, in the vain hope
that, by economizing in every posi-
BILE way, he could place the mine on
q self-sustaining basis! Such an act
Of selir-abnegation stands alone, we
believe, in the history of the Com
stock. and (aside from his many
other good qualities) should entitle
Mr.. Schultz to his present position
just as long AS he can be induced
to keep it.

Is the Present Mining Interest a
Bubble

There are one or two of the New
York daily papers, notably the Times,
which seem to be over conscientious
with regard to the present interest in
mining matters, and to regard every
mining property offered to Eastern
capitalists for investment as but a
scheme by which the unwary are TO
be entrapped, and therefore to be
avoided, as, It's said, the gentleman
in black avoids holy water. With
our opinion, which has been fire.
quently expressed, that the develop
ment of our mineral wealth is to be
one of the chief factors in bringing
US again to a condition of eminent
prosperity, we can but believe these
Journals, no matter what the motive
in assuming their position, to be
radically wrong. With the present
activity in mining circles it is but
natural to suppose that some un-
scrupulous individuals will take adj
vantage of the signs of the times,
and attempt to foist upon the public
mines which exist only in imagina-
ton, and investments which will be
permanent-that is. a permanent
loss. We are, ourselves, on the track
of one or two of these schemes,
which we intend to thoroughly ven
tilate when we have obtained the
facts which will warrant US IN ex-
posing them. Allowing this to be
the case, however, we believe that
the majority of properties now offer
ed in the Eastern market have
legitimate value, and whatever mis-
takes may be made will be made in
the direction Of too heavy capitali-
cation. Even this mistake is not all
important, after all, for no matter
what the ostensible capital stock Of a
company may be. the price
of the mine, at least the current
value of it, is regulated by the price
at which the stock may be selling.
1t does not show good judgment, in
our estimation, then, for these jour
nails to characterize the present in
terest in mining as bubble, which
will burst sooner or later, for we
consider it to be founded upon
legitimate basis, and to be productive
of great benefit to the country, as
we'll as to individuals, at the same
time advising all investors to ex-
anime investments offered them with
the same care they would give to any
other business enterprise.-Boston
Economist.

TWO OR MORE SURGEONS

From the National Surgical Insti-
tute will be at the International
Hotel, Virginia City, Nevada, on the
seventh and eighth of August, and
at the Golden Eagle Hotel, Reno,
Nevada, on the ninth of August,
1879. Persons afflicted with spinal
curvature, hip disease, crooked limbs,
club feet, diseased joints, piles, fis-
tula, or any other bodily deformity,
should not fail to consult these sur
geons while they are here. The in
stitution which they represent stands
unrivaled in the treatment of these
diseases.

PLAUSIBLE HYPOTHESIS.

BY these simple processes Of oxida-
ton and erosion the metal-hearing
portions OF the rocks become worn
into perceptible deprcssions, and
these depressions are not unfrequent-
" the sure indicators Of underlying
deposits Of silver ore. In proof of
the plausibility of this surface or
Typographical hypothesis, he Pro-
fessor w. F. Stewart calls attention
to the important fact that the richest
and most expansive bonanzas yet de.
vsloped in the Comstock system all
occupy positions beneath deep de-
pressions precisely as referred to
above.-Virginia Chronicle.
In that case there must be bo-
nanza of mammoth proportions in
the Maryland Baltimore American
ground, for the depression of their
surface, which begins at the very
outcrop of the ledge, probably ex.
ceeds 500 feet 10 less than that num-
Der of yards, and continues to the
Justice hill. The William Penn COM
pany, of this city, must also have an
enormous bonanza within its bounda-
ries, while the same can be said OF
the Daney, in Spring valley, and, in
fact, of a majority Of the claims in
this district. There is a great deal
mnre fiat" than "hill' in this
DEVILS Gate and Chinatown District,
az we'll as at American Flat. Pro-
fessor Stewart is a gentleman whose
integrity is beyond question, and he
has made lifelong study of geology
and cognate sciences. His statements
are therefore entitled to great weight.

His Heart on His Right Side.

A very singular case has just been
discovered by DR.. Kellogg, OF Rush,
Monroe county. Mr.. Jacob Banks,
of Rush, had little boy, aged four
years, who died July 3. The most
of his lifetime he was sick and puny
and often attended 10y physicians.
For month past he has been at
tended by DR.. Kellogg. On making
Thorough examination the doctor
found that the little fellows heart
was in his right side, almost under
the arm. When dead he was almost
a skeleton. Buffalo Courier.

In connection with the late
splendid showing Of the Treasury
Department touching the resumption
and refunding policies, it is interest
ing 10 note tina. an important con-
ference Of finanoiers will be held in
Saratoga. New York, on the sixth,
seventh and eighth OF August. The
occasion is the annual convention of
the American Banking Association,
but besides the National Banks, of
which some two thousandNwill be
represented, the savings and trust H.
stitptiops and commercial interests
will appear in force. Among the
topics 10 be discussed will he the re-
funding Of the public debt by which
the annual taxation for the pay
ment OF interest has been reduced
from $15O,977,697 in Augu I, 1865,
10 about x04,OOu,UOO at present. ms
relief to the people from the burdens
of taxation, it is claimed, has been
mainly effected through the agency
of the banks. A review (aon- politi-
cal, of couise) Of the origin, pro-
gress, methods and completion Of
the work will be given to the con-
yention. A similar review of the
work of resumption will also be
given with statistical and practical
addresses. Personal "reminiscences of
banking and bankers will form one
of the interesting features of the
three days session.
