Rosewood.

Rosewood, Q very valuable wood, grows in Rio Janeiro. The most desira- ble wood, that which is the most mot tied, is selected for veneers, and the plain, straight-grained logs, when brought to market, are very rough and gnarled. It has latterly been sold by weight only some years ago it was sold by the log, and the purchaser relied on his acuteness for algains. It contains an acrid oil, which must be extracted by steaming or by long exposure to the air before 1t can be relied on to hold with glue. It has pungent smell, and the men who work in it seem to imbibe the odor into their system, as no ablution will eradicate the smell by which the worker is distinguished from the worker in other woods. The dust arising from the sand-papering is not poisonous, although it gives 8 peculiarly ghastly expression to the workman's counte- nance.
 Rosewood, if well worked, is the most durable of all furniture wood, and after a century use it can be polished to look as well as new. It is exceedingly strong and hard, and becomes more solid from age.

A Peruvian Carnival Trick,

A favorite trick adopted at Lima, in carnival time, for frightening people as they pass along the streets, is the fol- lowing: A sack, filled with fragments of broken glass and porcelain, is fastened to the balcony by strong rope, of such length that, when suspended from the window, the sack is about seven feet above the street. The apparatus being ready, mischievous negress and her anaita (young mistress) watch the pass- ers-by until they select one for their victim. The sack is then thrown over the front of the balcony, and deafening crash ensues, though the rope prevents it's contents from hurting anyone. It is we'll known that in almost every street in Lima there is at least one balcony ready prepared for the performance of this trick; yet the suddenness of the crash always proves shock, even to the strongest nerves. People start and run to the other side of the street, and are sometimes so terrified that they drop down then loud laughter and jeering remarks are heard in the balcony. Every year this trick is prohibited by the police, but the prohibition is treated with contempt

The Zulu King.

Cetewayo is a right royal prince in his ways, as the following passage at- tests, beside suggesting some other matters of interest
 The following story was related to me concerning Cetewayo, Dr. Drum mond had lately been invited, at the in- stigation of Mr.. John Dunn, to visit Cetewayo at his great place in Zulu land, to give medical advice to the chief as to his health. Upon a careful con- sideration of the circumstances of the case, Dr. Drummond could find no better recipe than a liberal allowance of oysters and porter. Cetewayo was so pleased with the advice that he ordered tbree hundred head of cattle to be at once presented to the doctor, and that Mir. Dunn should see 10 it. The value of the cattle may be estimated at about 95 each-a royal reward, no doubt, and fairly earned. But MT. Dunn had made a private arrangement with the doctor to give him e100, whatever the remune- ration might be. pr. Drummond only got his e100. heperson perhaps most pleased with the recipe was MT. John Dunn himself. Had the doctor ordered even the most nauseous compound, Dunn would have been obliged, accord ing to custom, to swallow considerable portion of it in front of the chief, to prove that 1t did not contain poison. In the present instance his duty was easy and agreeable,

Silver Mine Experiences.

A Virginia City paper says crowbar was dropped down the main vertical shaft of the Savage mine from the sur face, and went dire ctly through cage at the bottom, piercing the bonnet and floor. No one was on the cage at the time and no one was hurt, yet it is un- pleasant to one making trip into mine to reflect that such things sometimes oc- cur.
 As the bar fell something over five hundred yards it was travelling with the rapidity and vim of cannon ball when it struck the cage. A bit of gravel no larger than filbert sings like bullet toward the latter part of such journey. A dog once fell into shaft at Cold Hill, and though the shaft was but 300 feet in depth, two men upon whom the ani- nal landed were killed, as was also the clumsy cur that had failed to hop across the top of the shaft.
 A rat once fell down the Consolidated Virginia in attempting to spring across a compartment, from wall plate to wall plate, and HOO feet below landed on the bald head of miner and exploded like bomb, causing the miner to think that @ rock had cut open the top of his skull and let out his brains.
 A grain of birdshot dropped into the top of a shaft 1,5OO feet in depth would bury itself in a plank or any piece of wood it might happen to strike at the bottom. This being the case, we repeat that it is not pleasant to think of such things as crow bars going down shafts.

How Farmers Sow Grain.

The San Francisco Bulletin says the farmers around Woodbridge, in this State, have given up drilling in their grain. Some SOW broadcast, in the time- honored way. Others, and among them not few of the most progressive farm CTS, rig seed-sower behind their blows in such way that, although they blow from eight to ten inches deep, yet the grains of wheat fall just in time to be caught by about two inches in depth of the lap of the furrows. The writer saw some large fields near Woodbridge which had been treated in this way, and it was the prettiest sight imaginable. The long rows extended in straight lines across the fields, evenly and in fine state of growth. In ordinary seasons it is not considered necessary to harrow after sowing in this way if it is on sum- mer-fallowed land.

The Presidents Family.

Mime. Grevy was of much more re- fined family than her husband, the
 President of France, and her relatives opposed the marriage for long time.
 But though the match was one of love, the idea that his wife was bred to higher expectations than those of marrying a farmers son made M. Grevy very in- tractable. He began to accuse the lady of frivolity. Another person took her place at the chess board, and Mime. Grevy left the family roof without being asked to return. Their quarrels began about chess and shootin g, of which M. Grevy is passionately fond. His dislike of elegance in dress was further cause of disagreement. Little by little a mutual dislike set in, and Mme. Grevy was left to live where she pleased and as she pleased, the husband being of too philosophical 8 frame of mind to carry the settlement of the question before the tribHnals.
 Mile. Grevy, the Presidents only child, is lady of twenty-three years of age, of brilliant intellect and unusual accomplishments. She IS an admirable singer, painter, und sculptor. Her only drawback, in her fathers eyes, is that she is too romanti c. She tried to run away with Capoul some two years ago, and has since declared that she will not marry anybody else. The father has sternly opposed the match, and it may be that his reconciliation with her mother and his elevation to the Presidency may cause Mile. Grevy to reconsider her intention to marry the man of her choice as soon as she reaches her twenty-ffth year, when, according to the French law, she can dispense with the consent of her parents.

while Rose was almost suffocating with envy at the signal triumph of her sister. MT. Granville came promptly for his waltz.
 He drew her hand through his almost authoritatively.
 Miss Bell, it seems I have always known you, yet you say you never saw me before. Suppose we take walk through the conservatory instead of hay ing this waltz2"
 Into the fragrant semi-dusk they went, where fountains tinkled and rare flowers bloomed, and the music came in yelled sweetness and richness.
 ''I want you to be sure I'm right, Miss Bell, when say have something of yours. Look at me closely. Have you never seen me before?"
 He bent his face near hers. It was gravely smiling-and so tender and good and Bell looked timidly at the smiling yet stern eyes.
 ''I am sure never saw you before, MT. Granville"
 s"Theu have you ever seen this ?''
 He drew from his vest pocket sov- ereign the very one, with tiny bit clipped off it, that Bell had given the tramp.
 "Don't you understand, dear child2 l had taken freak into my head that I would walk from town here, and it was grand walk, although it took three days and ruined my clothes. I stopped at your little cottage to beg glass of water. You know the rest"
 Bells face was marvel al that mo- ment.
 "In your kindness and goodness you gave it to me, Miss Bel, and the little act gave me an insight into your heart that 8 year of ordinary intercourse would never do. I shall keep it until you will buy it back. have set price on. it, and if you are ready to give it you can have it..
 "He put the money reverently away in his breast pocket, and took her out among the crowd again, strangely hap py girl.
 And before the summer roses had faded Bell paid the price for the clipped sovereign-her own heart-that Lionel Granville plead for so earnestly.
 She is mistress of their grand house now, and Rose visits her once a year not oftener, because Bells husband doesn't care much for her. But the in- valid mother has a lifelong home amid the luxuries of Fernley Court, and Bell is happier than the birds that sing in the trees of the big old park.

How Monkeys are Captured.

Monkeys are pretty common, yet, as all the families are remarkably cunning, has it ever occurred to the reader how they are taken ? Pitfalls will take lion; and the famished monarch will, after few days starvation, dart into cage containing food, and thus be secured. But how are monkeys caught? The ape family resembles man. Their vices are human. They love liquor, and fall. In Darfour and Senar the natives make 8 fermented beer, of which the monkeys are passionately fond. Aware of this, the natives go to the parts of the forest frequented by the monkeys, and set on the ground calabashes full of the entic- ing liquor. As soon as the monkey sees and tastes it, he utters loud cries of joy that soon attract his comrades. Then an orgie begins, and in short time they show all degrees of intoxication. Then the negroes appear. The few monkeys that came too late to get fuddled, escape. The drinkers are too far gone to distrust them, but apparently take them for larger species of their own genus. The negroes take some up, and these begin to weep and cover their new found friends with maudling kisses. When Q negro takes one by the hand to lead him off, the nearest monkey will cling to the one that thus finds support, and en- deavor to go on also. Another will grasp | et him and so on 11ntil tho neorO leads staggering line of ten or dozen tipsy monkeys. When finally brought to the village, they are securely caged up and gradually sobered down; but for two ol three days a gradually-diminished sup ply of liquor is given them, so as to reconcile them by degrees to their state of captivity.

A Curious PetrifactiOn.

The Nevada (Cal.) Herazd has been shown curiosity in the shape of trout which had become petrified in the root of a tree. The fish measures about six inches in length, and shows very plainly the spots on it's sides and back. It is very perfect and looks almost as if ready to glide through the water. It was washed out of a mining claim about two years ago. It must have run into the hole in the root of the tree for hiding place and there have been caught and petrifed.

OH! IRELAND, MY COUNTRY.

IThe following used to be recited by Wen dell Phillips in his lecture on O'Connell with so much perfection of pathetic expression that we have seen vast audience as still as death in the anxiety to catch every word:l Oh Ireland, my country, the hour of thy
 pride and thy splendor hath passed, And thy chain, that was borne in thy moment
 of power. hangs heavy around thee at last There are marks on the faith of each cline i;
 there arc turns in the fortunes of men; But the changes of realms or the chances of
 time, shall never restore thee again. Thou art ehalned to the wheel of the foe, by
 links which the world could not sever. With thy tyrant through storm and through
 calm thou shalt go, and thy sentence is
 Banished for ever.
 Thou art doomed with the vilest to dwell; thou art left for the proud to disdain; And the blood of thy sons and the wealth of
 thy soil shall be lavished, and lavished in
 vain.
 Thy riches with taunts shall be taken. thy
 valor, with gold is repaid, And of millions who see thee sick and for
 saken, not one will stand forth in thine aid In the nations thy place is left void-thou art
 lost in the list of the free; Even realms-by the plague or the earthquake
 destroyed-are revived, but no hope is for
 thee.

MORTALITY.
How do the roses die?

How do the roses die?
 Do their leaves fall together, Thrown down and scattered by the sky Of angry weather? No, the sad thunder-stroke
 O'ei sweeps their lowly bower; The storm that tramples on the oak Relents above the flower.
 .. .." No violence makes them grieve, No wrath ahth done them wrong, When with sad secrecy they leave The branch to which they clung. They yield them, one by one,
 To the light breeze and shower, To the soft dew. cool shade, bright sun, Time and the hour.

Women in Utah,

Ann Eliza Young says: "Women in Utah are but child bearing slaves. Every time they vote they add another rivet to the bonds which already bind, for they vote into office such men as George O. Cannon, who are using all their powers to perpetuate polygamy. The ballot is no protection to these women, for they vote in utter ignorance of what they are doing and for whom they are voting. I voted once-being compelled to do so by Brigham Young-and his coachman was deputized to take me to the polls and show me how to vote. His instruc- tions consisted in telling me to write my name on piece of paper which he handed to me, and to this day I remain in blissful ignorance of whom 1 cast my only vote for"

Masses of marble are sometimes pro- cured there nine feet in length, ndfrom four to six in breadth.

In China large quantities of oysters
are dried instead o. being eaten in the fresh
state. For that purpose they are taken from
the shells, simply plunged into boiling water
and then removed at once, after which prOs
cess they are exposed to the rays of the sun
until every particle of the moisture has
evaporated. In that state they will keep for
a length of time, and are said to preserve all
the delicacy of their flavor. The finest and
latest bivalves. bred and fed on the leaves
and cuttings of the bamboo, are selected for
preparation by this method, those taken
from the natural beds being inferior in
quality and not sufficiently plump to stand
the operation.
