SoLD.-He wore semi-military undress,
over chest of splendid breadth. His fine
brown beard was trimmed in the Grant style
and crop of short brown hair covered a
head of fine intellectual proportions, and
shaded "a brow like Jove's." We were par
ticularly impressed with the man, because he
was critically scanning the MORNING APPEAL,
and we concluded he was man of more than
ordinary intellect and standing. A fine
breakfast stood before him, and as he laid
down his paper and poured has coffee into a
saucer, carefully scraping the bottom of his
cup against its edge, We took another look at
his magnificent physique and fine get up, and

concluded that there was some mstake-that
we had made wrong estimate, having settled
it in our mind that he was major general at
least, if not bishop. Passing the Office we

THE FIGHT with the Indians at Milk River,
Col. on the Sd inst, seems to have been one
of unusual stubborness; the Indians having
the advantage of ground 1t was the usual
ambuscade which, but for timely discovery by
Lieutenant Cheney, woul dhave entirely ami
hilated our little force. As it was, the killing
of twelve men and wounding of forty, together
with the destruction of all the horses of the
Command and most of their mules, is proof of
the critical position of the party, till relieved
by Gen. Murritt.

THE six days walking match at the Mechan-
les Pavilion is feat of which San Francisco
may we'll feel proud. 1t was square match,
honestly contested throughout. The men did
their best, and made scores which place them
in the front rank of pedestrians. The conduct
of the spectators was also in pleasing contrast
with that of the rowdies who attended the
Ashley belt Contests r. Post
In what respect should it make San Fran
cisco proud? There is nothing in the feat it.
self to make any one feel proud, any more
than of prize fight. 1t kept thousands of
people in the Pavilion who should have been
at home; it increased drinking and gambl ing
and built up a taste on the part of the young,
which, in many cases, is ruin. 1t is a matter
of some pride that ten thousand people should
assemble at time, and no disturbance occur,
and no one got killed; but We object to the as
sertion of 80 respectable paper as the Post
that San Francisco might well feel proud of
the tramp.

The Shells of Commerce.

Few persons have any idea of the ex
tent to which shells are used in industri
al processes, or of the large number SO
employed. In the popular mind the
pretty poetical conception of the "mur-
muir" is generally associated with the
"shell," but beyond the merely senti-
mental interest, little concern is as yet
manifested either for conchology as u
study or for the practical purposes to
which the tiny houses Of their mollus
cous inhabitants are put. The shells Of
commerce may be conveniently classified
under the following sections: |. Moth
er-of pearl shells, for making buttons,
card cases, and other useful articles, and
for ornamenting papiermache ?. The
different kinds Of small shells extensive
ly used for flowers, bracelets, head-dress-
es and fancy groupings of various de-
signs g. Shells usedfor carving canoes
to set in pins, brooches, studs, etc.
I. Shells used for spoons, lamps,
knife handles, snuff boxes, etc. ;. For
manure, in the form Of shell sand and
shell mari, for making the finest sort of
lime when calcined and when crushed,
for glazing or enameling pottery ware.
6. In various parts of North America,
Africa and India, shells are used as cur
rent coin, and also as counters in cer-
tain games. /. To the painter and art
designer shells afford suggestive studies
in form and color s. Some of the big
sest are used for vases, fountains, fog
horns and trumpets; while in China a
particular kind is employed as a substi
tute for glass. These eight sections pre-
sent at one view the different ways in
which shells are made commercially use
full, and it would only complicatc mat
ters to give examples under each head
ing, for in doing SO we should have to
introduce rugged names that would
make our readers, like Quintilian,

Primeval Europe.

1t is the fate of continents, no less
than of the human communities that in
habit them, to have their first origin
shrouded in obscurity. When the cur
tain of darkness begins to rise from our
primcval Europe. it reveals to us a scene
marvelously unlike that OF the existing
continent. The land then chiefly to the
north and northwest, probably extend
ing as far as the edge OF the great sub
marine plateau by which the European
ridge is prolonged under the Atlantic for
$50 miles west Of Ireland Worn frag
ments of that land exist in Finland,
Scandinavia and the northwest Of Scot
land, and there are traces Of what seem
to have been some detached islands in
central Europe notably in Bohemia and
Bavaria Its original height and extent
can Of course never be known, but some
idea of them may be formed by consid
ering the bulk of solid rock which was
formed out of the waste of the land |
find that il we take merely one
portion OF the detritus washed
from its surface and laid
down in the sea. viz. that which is com.
prised in what is termed the Silurian
system, and if we assume that it spreads
over 10000 square miles. of Britain
with an average thickness of $4,000. or
three miles, which is probably under the
truth, then we obtain the enormous mass
of 10000 cubic miles. The magnitude
of this pile of material may be better
realized if we reflect that it would form
Il mountain-ridge three times as long as
the Alps, or from the North Cape to Mar
settles 500 niles, with breadth of
more than thirtv-three miles, and an
average height Of 10000 feet, that is,
higher than the summit of Noun; Blanc.

The Neighbor.

A very good lesson was that which
Jesus taught, when he said that the
Samaritan was a neighbor to the wound
ed traveller who fell among thieves,
while the priest and Levite passed him
by on the other side, And also in the
following sketch we have a picture of
the right kind of neigLbor:
Mrs Beardsley, a poor old woman,
was sick and in need of assistance, but
as soon as Miss Betsy heard of it, not a
single day passed that she did not 90
over and cheer the sick woman with
hoIely, earnest words of faith and
good will. She went into the kitchen
and made beef tea, she came up stairs
and shook up her hot pillows, replen-
ished the fire, combed out the tangled
hair with the gentlest fingers, and kept
Tommy with her in the intervals, rs
long as he could be coaxed to stay.
Wien Mrs. Beardslcy was getting bet
ter, the first day she could sit up, after
Miss Betsey had made her comfortable
with cushions and a footstool, the poor
languii woman put her thin arms
about tie old lady's neck and kissed
her, and dropping her head on that
sturdy shoulder, burst into irrepressible
sobs.
Lawful sakes don't We do 50,
child stop right Of. Why, you'll be
all tuckered out when he gets home eff
you do so. Now, stop right off y
81 can't help it, sobbed Mrs b, you

six teeth to show fort /" laughed tho

No poetical piece of equal length, I'M

delighted to retain them for the truth,

If women were then, as now, to be
won by their ears, and not by their eyes,

Acres of Perfume.

Some idea of the magnitude Of the
business of raising swcet-scented flowers
for their perfume alone may be gathered
from the fact that Europe and British
India alone consumes about l50, 900 gal
Ions of handkerchief perfume yearly !;
that the English revenue from French
eau de Cologne of itself is $4,000 an
nually, and the total revenue Of England
from other imported perfumes is esti-
mated at 100000 each year There is
one great perfume distillcly at Cannes,
in France, which uses nearly about l00,
600 pounds of acacia flowers, 10000
pounds of rare flower leaves, $4,000
pounds Of jasmine blossoms, together
with an immen,e quantity Of other ma
terial used for perfume. Victoria, in
New South Wales, is a noted place for
the production Of perfume yielding
plants, because such plants as the mign-
onetto, sweet verbena, jasmine, rose, Law
ender, acacia, heliotropc, rosemary,
wall fower laurel, orange, and the sweet
scented geraniums are said to grow there
in greater perfection than in any other
part of the world. South Australia, it
is believed, would also be n good place
for the growing Of the persume-produc-
ing plants, though they are not yet
cultivated there to much extent The
value of perfumes to countries adapted
to their production may be gathered
from the following estimates of their
growth and value per acre, as given in
the London (England) Journal of Hor-
ticulture; An acre of jasmine plants,
$4,000 in lumber, produce 5000 POUNDS
of flowers, valued at l.250; an acre of
rose trees, 10000 in number, Will yield
1000 pounds of flowers, worth 1873;
800 orange trees, growing on an acre,
will yield, at ten years of age, 1000
pounds of flowers, valued at $3.50; an
acre of violets, producing 1000 pounds
of flowers, is worth $780, an acre of
cassa trees Of about 300, will, at three
years Of age, yield 900 pounds of
flowers, worth $50; an acre Of geranium
plants will yield something over 1000
ounces distilled altar, worth $4,000;
an acre of lavender, giving over $500
pounds of flowers for distilation, will
yield value of 81 800.

1t was now long after noon, and saw
in field an Elton game of foot ball. 1t

BY UNIVERSAL ACCORD.

AYERS CATHART1c PILLS are the best of
all purgatives for family use. They are
the product OF long, laborious, and suc
cessful chemical investigation, and their
extensive use, by Physicians in their prac.
tice, and by all civilized nations, proves
them the best and most effectual purgative
Pill that medical science can devise.
Being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use. In intrinsic value and
curative powers no other Pills can be
compared with them and every person,
knowing their virtues, will employ them,
when needed. They keep the system in
perfect order, snd maintain in healthy
action the whole machinery oflife. Mild,
searching and effectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs. of the digestive ap-
paratus, arrangements of which they
prevent and cure. if timely taken. They
are the best and safest phYsic to employ
for children and weakened const situations,
where q mild, but e%tfectusl, cathartlc is
