The Merry Maiden and the Tar.

The San Francisco Call says: The
latest local story of the difficulties that
can and will be surmounted by true love
is that in which Captain j. +. Lehman,
n bold sea captain, well known in
Alaska waters, and Miss Annie B. Bun
ster, daughter of A. Bunster, M. p, of
Victoria, are the interested parties. The
young lady, who is just out of her teens,
was residing in this city with friends.
for the purpose of securing the benefit
of the high class educational institu-
tions of San Francisco, = hen she was
met by the gallant captain. When the
was accepted, and then he sought the
father. He saw him, but soon left the
house, being reminded that he was moth
ing but " common sailor" and should
not aspire to an M. P.'s daughter Such
a rebuke did not, however, very long re-
tard the lovers, but rather hastened the
consummation of their affections. A
license was procured, the services of the
Rev. w. l.. Citizens, of the Church of
the Advent, were secured, and the twain
were made one. Next day the Hon. A 4.
Bunster was in town. but he had come
too late to arrest what he had feared
He at once waited upon the reverend
clergyman and demanded by what au-
thorlty he performed the ceremony, as
the lady was not of age. Mr.. Citizens
replied that he was not acquainted with
the circumstances of the case; Captain
Lehman, attended by a gentleman in good
business standing, had requested his
aid; the lady was attended by several
highly respectable lady friends, was
twenty-one years, and therefore over
age, and to him everything was regular.
H But don't rpcopnize vollr laws Said
the NJ. p. While in the United States
you must" said the minister. Seeing
that the clergyman was not at fault
that he could not quarrel with the laws
Mr.. Bunster then regretted that he had
ever let his daughter leave home. Yield
ing at last to the unalterable, il is said
Mr.. Bunster blessed the young couple
with very bad grace. The following
Wednesday Captain Lehman again sailed
for Alaska, leaving his bride in a very
comfortable home on Geary street.

A Narrow Escape.

A California railway engineer had Il
narrow escape from bottomless pit Il
fortnight ago. He had charge of a con-
struction train and was hauling gravel.
A short distance out of Benicia, and be-
yond Government Point, is piece of
tule land. Thousands and thousands of
yards of dirt were thrown upon it when
the road was built, and yet in a short
time, even during the night, out of sight
the whole would go. At last the road
was ballasted and the track laid, and the
raj road authorities were smiling at the
thought of having their road in good
working order by the first of ofSeptemher.
The engineer noticed that the earth had
IL depressed appearance, but he was Sc
ttr advanced that it was impossible TO
stop, and having on powerful head OF
steam, he opened the valve and went
rushing over the dangerous place, and
ut the same time felt the ground settling
under the train. In moment they
we're over the morass, and upon check
ing the engine the men on the train
looked back, and for a distance of owe,
three hundred feet they saw the ground
the ties and the track in one vast body
go down into the bottomless pit dis
tance of fifty feet.

Counterfeit Eggs.

Several most staid and dignified Brit
ish journals have recently been most
richly sold by ridiculous story in the
San Francisco Post last winter about the
manufacture of artificial eggs in Cali
fornia for transportation. The pleasant
squib was much enjoyed by newspaper
exchange editors on this side of the
water, but produced a very different effect
on the other side. forming the text of
grave and even indignant articles in the
Pa. Ma. Gazette. the Mark Lane Er-
press, the Melbourne AuStra..ian, and
even in the leading Prussian paper, the
Rreuazeita1ng. The latter, indeed, re.
views the article in great length and
concludes that the importers should bt
wary in the matter of American pro
ducts, because chemical study of thu
new egg, based upon the Post descrip
ton, shows it to be rank poison. Th'
wooden hams and nutmegs sent from
New England" says the angry Kreaz
zeitu,,q, "are still fresh in memory, anC
now the Americans boldly impose upol
the world counterfeit egg.-Boston Ad

A Thief i'm a Chest.

A young girl named Katie De Roy, who
was arrested in Philadelphia on sus-
picion of robbing house some time be-
fore, told most extraordinary story.
She entered the cellar of the house,
where she left her shoes, and went up
to the girls room. The servant saw her
crawling beneath bed and caused an
alarm. The room was searched, but the
intruder could not be found. There
was an old chest in the room, but no
one thought of looking into it. Yet the
strange thief was there, and there she
remained without food or water for
thirty hours. There was sickness in the
house, and everybody in the house was
awake all night. The next night, how
ever, everybody slept soundly, and the
young thief ransacked the whole house
and carried off some change from the
gentleman's pocket. She let confed,
crate into the house, but as she refused
to let him carry off the silver he lett
without much booty. She was neatly
dressed and a pretty figure, though
without much intelligence in her face
She was from Reading, and had only
been two months in the city. Her com
initial to prison followed to answer fol
the robbery.

The JnterOceanic Canal.

At the meeting of the Association for
the Advancement of Science in Saratoga,
Commander e. p. Lull. u. S. N, read a
paper on 1.-THE Interoceanic Canal
Problem" giving an account of the ex-
plorations for connecting the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans, in which he has
been engaged with others. A commits
sion had examined all the reports, and
found only two practicable routes-one
through Nicaragua and another by
Panama. That through Nicara qua in
cludes as an essential feature the use of
Lake Nicaragua, situated ten miles from
the Pacific coast, bat with a surface l07
feet above mean tide on each side. 1t is
ll9 miles from the Caribbean Sea to the
lake by the river San Juan, the outlet OF
the lake on this side. A canal from the
lake to the Pacific Ocean would be
is $40 miles long, only seven miles OF
which would be difficult. The excava-
ton would average fifty. four feet. and
ten locks of ten feet lift each would be
required. with tide lock of seven feet
at the seashore. An artificial harbor
would be required on the Pacific side,
with a breakwater, for which the ma
terials are easy to be obtained. There
are fifty-two miles of navigation on
Lake Nicaragua which will need little
work, except at the south end, where
are some six miles of swamp. The total
length from the Caribbean Sea to the
Pacific is 1907 miles-fifty on the
lake, 6l.7 on the canal, and sixty-two
slack water. The estimate makes the
bottom of the canal seventy-two feet
wide, and gives twenty-six feet depth of
water. The locks are to be 472 feet long.
Estimated cost, S66, ZOO, 900, and it may
come to Sl0O, 100000 as the outside cost
The Panama route, near the line of
the Panama railroad, would require II
feeder near the summit, which can be
had. The highest place would put the
bottom of the canal seventy eight feet
above mean tide, and the surface OF the
water in the canal 124 feet above mean
tide. Total distance, forty-one miles,
with twelve lift locks on each side of the
summit. The heaviest cut would be
ITO feet. The feeder would require 49,
600 feet of tunnel and two aqueducts.
The breakwater and sea wall at Aspin-
wall, 1900 feet: cost estimated at 1884,
600. 900. Materials are more accessible
in Nicaragua, and the country is more
healthy. The Nicaragua line enters the
ocean at a much less distance from the
United States on each side than the Pan
anna route.
He criticised the plans of the French
congress recently held, and did not re-
gard sea-level canal as practicable. In
one place the cost of the excavation OF
certain cuts on his plan would be Sl0.-
500. 900, and for the French plan at the
sea level, S40,O00,0 900. He did not believe
this generation would ever see a sea,
level canal.
Gen. Alvord, U. S. A., said, in the
discussion, that the United States gov.
ernment had had the matter under con
sideraton for thirty years, and has sem
its best officers to examine and survey
routes.

Humors of the Paris Exposition.

Among the humors of the late Pari
Exposition, says a Washington cor
respondent, are the errors committed in
the awards of diplomas to a number OF
American exhibitors, growing out of the
unfamiliarity of the commission OF
awards with the American vernacular.
In looking over the diplomas which
have been received at the office of the
commissioner general the following have
been casually noted: The diploma in
tended for the Providence Tool Company
is addressed to the Providence Fool Com
pany; that for the Gardner Gun Com
pany is granted for Fusil pour la JAR
diniere or Gun for Gardener; that fol
the Wamsutta Mills is granted to Mous
Wamsutta. The Waterbury Button
Company receives its diploma in the
name of Waterbury, Button & Company
The commissioner general, understand
ing for whom the diplomas were in
tended, forwarded them to their destina.
tion. The parties, however, expressed
great disappointment, especially the
Providence Fool Company" who are
anxious for revision Of the award in
so far as the designation is concerned, as
they are hardly willing to make a public
exhibition of their laurels under any
such colors as those indicated.

Mad Clear Through.

1t is related that Gen. Scott's famous
letter to Zachary Taylor, announcing
the withdrawal of most of the regular
troops from Taylor's command, to be
placed under his own in a projected
movement from Vera Cruz toward the
capital of Mexico, was received when
Gen Tay lor was at supper with his staff
near Monterey. The general asked Col
Bliss to read it to him. He had just re-
plenished his coffee cup, and was en-
gagged in cooling it with spoon while
the reading went on. This appeared to
make no further impression upon him
than that indicated by a contemptuous
"sniff," but as the real import ofthe let
ter began to appear his whole manner
changed, and he abstractedly dipped the
spoon into bowl of mustard, which sat
| upon the table, and stirred it in the cof-
| fee. This he repeated until by the time
the reading of the letter was finished
the contents of the mustard bowl were
exhausted. Without saying word.
and to Bliss astonishment and horror.
he raised the cup to his lips and gul9ed
down the whole abominable compound.
He then broke into an excited and pro
fame harangue, consigning to everlasting
infamy every one concerned in the pro-
posed depletion of his forces, and only
ccasing when his speech was overtaker
by aparOxism of suffering. which, witt
him, usually followed violent out.
break of temper. The colonel felt sur,
that from the amount of mustard he haC
swallowed, combined with the intelli
gence he had received, it would intalli
bly, sicken him, but nothing uncommo OF
came of it. Ratsbane, at that mo
ment," said Bliss, would, I am con
vinced, have had no more effect upor
him than upon the stomach of Il NTH

manded the generals escort in Mexico

he was the maddest man he ever saw
mad from the crown of his hat to tn
soles of his boots.

The Use of Pain.

The power which rules the universe,
this great, tender power, uses pain as a
signal of danger. just, generous, beau
tiful nature never strikes foul blow !;
never attacks us behind our backs; never
digs pitfalls or lays ambuscades; never
wears smile upon her face when there
is vengeance in her heart. Patiently she
teaches us her laws, plainly she writes
her warning, tenderly she graduates their
force, Long before the fierce, red dam
ger light of pain is flashed, she pleads
with us-as though for her own sake,
not ours to be merciful to ourselves and
to each other. She makes the over
worked brain to wander from the sub
ject of its labors. She turns the over
indulged body against the delights of
yesterday. These are her cautions sig
mails, $50 slow" She stands in the
filthy courts and alleys that we pass

Weply whip and spur on the jaded brain

rebellious body with stimulants, we hide
the original and think we have escaped
the danger, and are very festive before
night. We turn aside, as the Pharisee
did of old, and pass on the other side
with our handkerchief to our nose. AT
last, having broken natures laws, and
disregarded her warnings, forth she

The Products OF Indigestion;

Inability of the stomach to act upon the food
is productive of serious and speedy mischief to
the entire bodily economy. The circulation
languishes and grows poor; leanness, pallor,
and a loss of muscular and organic power su-
pervene; but, worse than this, the functions
associated with and dependent upon digestion,
such as evacuation and the secretion OF bile,
grow irregular, and the organs whose business
it is to discharge those functions become badly
disordered. This disastrous state OF things is
more readily and thoroughly rectified with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than any known
medicinal agent. The stomach being invigo-
rated, the life-giving principles of the blood
are increased, the system properly nourishe9,
leanness and debility overcome, and the
bowels and liver thoroughly and promptly
regulated
