How to become Rich.
Burlington Hawkeye.

You can probably be rich my son,
if you will be. If you make up yonr
mind now that You will be a rich man,
and stick to it, there is very little
doubt that you will be very wealthy,
tolcrably mean, loved little, hated a
great deal, have big funeral, be
blessed By the relatives to whom you
leave the most, reviled By those to
whom you leave less, and vlllifed by
those to whom you leave nothing
But you must pay for it, my son.
Wealth is an expensive thing. 1t
costs all it is worth. If you want to
be worth a million dollars, it will cost
you just million dollars to get it.

Jail Delivery.
Idaho qtatas,oo

Three prisoners, John Wilson, Will
lam Davis and Stephen Walsh, who
were confined here in the county iaiI
awaiting the action Of the Grand Jn-
ry for robbing Schwabacher & Co.'S
safe, succeeded on Tuesday night in
getting out of Jail and making their
escape. In order to do this they had
to make passage through the floor
which is OF strong timbers six inches
square, and then dig their way under
the stone wall and up through the
ground to the surface on the outside.
They made hole just large enough
to crawl through by removing the
stone and earth to their cell leaving
nothing on the outside to show for
their labor but the opening through
which they made their exit.
2. S.-Since putting the above in
type we learn that the prisoners were
captured below Middleton by Messrs
Asa Warwick, Zeb. Alphin and 9th
ers, and returned to Boise City.

Cell estimated the number of people

that, closely as the inhabitants were
packed, Pompeii was still but little
place, the proportion of deaths APP

The United States corps of Engin-
GERS has recently had the Niagara
River sounded-a task never before
accomplished. owing to the bungling
and unscientifc means employed by
those who attempted it. Bars of rail
road iron, pals of stones, and unreason-
bly, bulky and awkward instruments
had been attached to long lipes, and
cast OIL the railroad bridge and else
where, but positively refused to sink.
The very bulk of the instrument was
suflicient,nO matter what their weight,
to give the powerful under current a
way to buoy them upon the surface,
or near it. BY means of a small lead
weighing twelve pounds, however, and
slender cord, the depths from the
Falls to the lower bridge was easily
obtained. One of the sounding party
says that the approach to the Falls in
a small boat was made with great
difficulty. Great jets of water were
thrown out from the Falls far into the
stream, and the roar was so terrible
that no other sound could be heard.
The leadsman cast the line. which
passed rapidly down and told of SO
feet. This was quite near the shore.
Passing out of the friendly eddy which
aided them in approaching the Falls,
they shot rapidly down stream. The
next cast of the lead told of 100 feet,
deepening to 1872 feet at the Inclined
railway. The average depth to the
Swift Drift, where the river suddenly
becomes narrow, with a velocity toe
great TO be measured, was 1853 teet,

Aromnd the Globe.


To sail around the globe in boat
only eighteen feet long and six feet
three inches in breadth Of beam is
what Capt. Louis Goldsmith. a Dane
and resident of this city, proposes to
do, starting next month. The tiny
craft, which has been named the 'fUn-
Gle SAM" is now ON exhibition in the
Horticultural Hall. 1t is built on the
general principle of a life-boat, with
water-tight compartment fore and aft
that will keep it ahoat, even if the
bo1y Of the boat should become filled
with water. There is a snug little
cabin with bed, and this can be en-.
tirely shut in so tightly as to prevent
the entrance of water. The boat is
sloop-rigged, and fitted to carry a bal
loon ,jib and gaf-topsail. Itis a mod
Ell of compactness. Capt. Goldsmith
has followed the sea all his life. In
This daring undertaking he will be ac-
companied by his young wife, who,
though this will be her first voyage, is
impatiently looking forward to the
start. 1t is thought that nearly a
year will be occupied in the tour. An
examination of the little boat is intea-
esting, and it is pleasing to listen to
..he venturesome man as he tells of his
plans and expectations. - Boston

A WATER VELocIPEDE. - Elon
Marsh, of Battle Creek, Michigan,
has invented velocipede to ride upon
The water. 1t was given good test a
day or two ago, and proved perfectly
satisfactory, the frame is similar to
tina. of an ordinary velocipede, having
three wheels, or rather air-tight
drums, with fans, two in front as pro.
pellers and one behind to steer by.
The machine is steered in the manner
as any bycicle. At the trial on the
river it walked up the stream against
the current much faster than an ordi.
nary boat, and with greater ease than
rowing. The machine draws only
FIVE inches of water. The principal
objection seems to be that fellow
can't take his girl riding with him.

it on to Rev. Dewitt, the Methodist,
