WATCHING A SNowDROP ONE HUN.

following story. told by Bismarck: Zone
day was walking with the Emperor of
Russia in the Summer garden of st Pc
tersburg, when, comm ng upon sentinel
in the cen ter ofthe lawn, took the lib
erty Of inquiring why that man WAS put
there? The emperor did no: know.
The adjutant was then dispatched to ask
the officer of the watch, whose reply tai
lied with the fentinel's - "Ordersd !"
Curiosity awakened, military records
were searched without yielding any salts

man was routed out VINO remem bere d
hearing his father relate that the EN-
press Catherine III. one hundred years
ago, had found a snowdrop en- that par.
ticuar spot and given orders to protect
it from being plucked No ether device
could be thought of than guarding it by
a sentinel. The order once issued was
left in force for century.

What ia fair days travel for a horse
in continuous use ?
The old Eastern Stage Company said

horses was made at intervals of twelve
miles, that being considered fair DAYS
work. The entire line was seven hundred
miles long, and five hundred horses and
mules were used, all upsn twelve miles
as the basis Of a days work.

experience, that when you give horse

A VIRGINIA paper tells a story OF n
young Bedford man who, crossing the
Blue Ridge on foot, lost his way and
wandered until night. Afraid to sleep on
the ground, he climbed large chestnut
tree which had been broken off by the
wind, and, seeing thst the hollow top WAS
filed with leaves, crawled into it. The
tree proved to be hollow to the roots, and
the young man went plump to the bottom,
a distance of about forty feet. The only
aperture through which he could breathe
was small hole not larger than his
hand. He at once began to enlarge it
with his fingers. Shortly before dark on
the following evening he dug his way out.

Our OF THE RUINs.-A quarter OF a
century ago there was a memorable con-
fagration at Sacramento City, California,
by VIII ich the entire business portion ot
the city was laid in ashes. When the
great fire was at its maximum fury, a
wealthy merchsnt by the name Of Nc
Nulty, who owned some of the heaviest
business establishments IN the city, gaz-
ed for few moments upon the work of
destruction, and then, instead of folding
his hands and weeping over the disaster,
he went to the nearest livery stable. hir-
ed fleet-footed horse, rode like John
Gilpin during the remainder of the n light
and before day light the next morning
had pure hssed every foot Of lum Der and
every sawm i'll at Grass Valley and Ne
vada City. There is, possibly, no hui
man being on earth who would think Of
running off by the light of his burning
property in order to literally make his
fortune out of the disaster except al
American. McNulty did so, however,
and almost inmed lately realized out of
the sale of his lumber four-fold as much
money as he had lost by the great fire.

CALIFORNIA FARMINo.-The Virginia
City Ente,prtse, commencing on the fact
that Chicagsans are shipping pork to CAL
Hernia, both by land and water, has this
10 say:
Why, it is possible for a Chicago
merchant to ship pork by any route TO
California at prsft. A hog is neither
q sensitive nor delicate animal. Give
him what alfalfa and ground barley he
needs and he will thrive luxuriously.
In California the tive easiest things in
the world TO raise are alfalfa and barley.
There are thousands Of idle acres in that
beautiful State, and thousands of idle
men, and yet the men who in Illinois
live on lands worth $50 per acre, are able
70 raise pork for the men to eat who in
California will not work. AS we look
over the list, we find that California i'm
ports almost everything that our mer-
chants sell except -four, beef and the va
rious fruits and berries of the State
Farmers who raise 500 acres of wheat,
and who are yearly draining the soil of
the elements which produce it, put moth
ing back upon the soil, but buy their
bacon and butter and their cheese, and
drink black coffee. When the wheat
crop fails, they are ruined, and still the
rivers roll unvexed to the sea, and ne
attempt is being made, except in few
small localities, to change system which
has kept the farmers of that State poor,
ss d rule, for twenty years. San Fran
cisco relies in great part upon the State
of Nevada for her Christmas beef, and
train loads and ship loads of the common
est products of the farmer are brought
annually 1000 miles to supply that State
sfs00, 900 people, while at their doors is
as rich soil and as genial climate as
any land under the sun possesses. We
would like to see the transition which
10000 farmers from ths Middle States, or
even 10000 Mormon farmers, wsuld make
in California"

his second-sight trick more than for any
thing else. That feature of his perfor-

a bindbelded woman on the stage, of
articles touched by i'm in the udience,
was not new with him, but he carried it
to greater degree Of mystifcatisn than
any Of his predecessor. The late Mr..
Anderson and his daughter used to do il
tleverly, and many others have tried it
with moro or less success. The widest
explanatory theories have been gravely
advanced, but it is altogether likely TIA:
The celebrated French juggler, Robert
Houdin, oy whom the feat was perform.

solution. Hcudin said that, by a com
P!ex system of new meanings for letters,
syllasles and words, he was able to tell
his confederate on the stage what the
articles werei while using language that
TO the audience conveyed no hidden in
telligence. That is to say, a Language
within a question. "What is this?"
might mean, "This is gold ring with
one stone." 1t is easily conceivable
that man Of Helier's quick intelligence
could, in dozen years Or more Of con.
stant practice, elaborate such system to
wonderful extent, and devise variations
like the touching of few previously
arranged articles without saying anything
that would mislsad casual observer
