that stamped one or another community
as peculiar, there was freedom of action
and sentiment tolerated sometimes up
on occasions that would have seemed
to an outsider quite remarkable. For
instance, In certain polished conmu-
nifty down there, the best hotel in the
place was for many years kept by an
excellent colored man, who, adding to
the fact that he could keep a good
hotel another good characteristic, that
he knew how to raise his own family
carefully and respectfully, had thereby
won the respect and esteem of the
numerous guests who had had the bene-
fit OF his establishment, and among
these the lawyers of the place. In the
peculiar condition of things then exist
ing there, for it was long time previ-
Gus to the war, this was good deal for
one so situated to accomplish; and the
test of this esteem came when, his
daughter being about to get married, it
was determined by his aristocratic
friends. the lawyers and numerous 9TH
ers, to compliment the young lady with
ball. Well, the affair went off pleas
antly, the leading lawyers dancing with
the guests of their host, and the whole
occurrence was a signal instance at that
time Of how far prejudice and habit
could be overcome upon occasion. But
the real fun of the thing, perhaps, came
out some twenty years afterwards, when

nifty, who when the grand frolic was
given was rather obscure, being called
as witness in court, and in connection

A Diamond Robbery Unprecedented.

A Mr.. Hawthorne, who came here
from New York few daysago on visit,
had an experience in Broadway yester-
day which is simply unparalleled. Set
ting off his very handsome dress was a
5000 diamond pin, the diameter of
which was about half an inch. While
sauntering up Broadway he stopped in
front of Haggerty's produce establish
ment, and bent over pile of coops to
watch the antics of some of tina chick
ems which were feeding. The diamond
caught the eye of silly fowl-a hen, of
course-and, darting it's head between
the laths, it seized the gem. Unfortu-
nately the fastening was not such as it
should be, and sharp jerk tore it loose.
The hen swallowed the diamond, and
Mr.. Hawthorne's attempt to catch it
gave it such fright that it rushed
among the other chickens and lost it's
identity completely. He went into
the store to complain and was delayed
somewhat. When he came out again
the coops had all been moved, and
Hawthorne could not even recognize
the $500 one. A conference was
held with Mr.. Haggerty, and it was
agreed that the only way to make sure
of the Jewel was to kill all the chickens
in all the coops. This was not a great
undertaking, for the house supplies no.
tells with dressed chickens, and would
not have much trouble in disposing of
the lot. So Haggerty agreed that if he
was allowed Is cents dozen for killing
Immediately he would find the dia-
mond. The coops we're carried to the
dressingroom, and the seventy two
dozen chickens were killed. The
858th chicken had the diamond care
fully slowed away inside, and Mr..
Hawthorne gladly paid $18 for the
killing and $40 to the woman who
found the diamond Cincinnati En-

he smiled, not in derision, but in de-
light. Then mangled the cloth, tort
ured it, twisted it, and wasted the bet
ter part of my strength on it. After a
time of exertion, emerging from sea
of lather and suds, I gave the cleansed
garment a pull through the fresh water
to rinse it, and, with many a dexterous
twirl of hand over fist, wrung it dry.
Holding it up before his eyes, l shook
the folds of flannel to the breeze, and
10, they were as blue as the depths of
heaven at midday. Then the stole
savage could no longer contain his ad-
miration within himself, ands~h cried
in his confusion of tongues, You sabe
muncho! (which polyglot compliment
may be translated to mean, "You've
washed before! Like as not your wife
takes in washing for living!"

King Humbert as a Worker.

King Humbert is reported to work so
very hard that he is nearly always late
for dinner, and the food, which is already
half spoiled from being brought some
distance shut up in tin boxes, gets to be
almost UNBEATABLE. But nobody COM
plains, since Queen Margaret, like her
husband, cares nothing for dainty or
well-cooked meal. What she really
enjoys is little dry cake, like Savoy
biscuit, which Roman baker prepares
for her; he sends forty eight day for
the use of the Queen and the Prince,
and small brown loaf, which she eats
with butter at the II o'clock breakfast.
King Humbert is at present fixing in
his mind the Italian Parliamentary de-
bates and opinions of the past thirty
years, by reading and rereading the of
fetal reports and making copious and
careful notes.

A Printer in Trouble.

There was a composition not only dis
charged from the San Jose (Cal.) Her.
aid the other day, but also fired dow1
four flights of stairs by the Infatuated
foreman of that admirable journal. It
seems that the typo was requested to
Z" iven up" certain speech delivered
at the Workingmen's State Convention,
held in that town, with the usual marks
in brackets. The "jour," who was car
rying little more beer than was neces-
sary, just then got hold of the wrong
proceedings, causing the eloquent reso-
luton of Mr.. Van Amman, referring to
the death Of member, to read some
thing like this:
WHEREAS, It pleased Divine Provi-
dence to remove from our midst our
beloved comrade, Azariah McMuck

In fact, the McMuck widow is hunt
ing for that unfortunate printer yet, and
cherishes the conviction that he is still
hiding in the hills.

Washing Day i'm California Camp.

A writer in Sunday afternoon says
To such depths of degradation had I
come at last that I must wash my own
clothes, and, like Mr.. Mantalini, I
thought it a demnition grind indeed.
Had L been as fastidious as some people
are, they might have gone unwashed
till the summers end for all OF me and
my drudgery, but my baser nature pre-
vailed, and I went forth, laden like a
slop-shop peddler, to wash my clothes
Over the valley and half way up the hill
was a pool of warm mineral water
which was better than concentrated I've
for this purpose, SO they said. By it's
side there sat an Indian, solemn and
alone, probably come here mission
like mine, and contemplating with tim
orous hesitation the event of his annual
clean shirt. He looked at me and
smiled. He saw the burden I bore,
realized my intentions, noticed my
hands, the cut of my whiskers, and
other such items of appearance, and
almost laughed outright. Well, what
of it?
To say that I was nettled by his
mirth and evident enjoyment is to put
it very mildly. I could have slain him
forthwith had I not feared remonstrance
on his part. AS it was I could only
take revenge, which proved to be ample
and sweet, by teaching him lesson in
the useful art of washing. From the
moment in which I dipped the first
garment into the water he become in
terested. When I drew it out and
shattered it around upon the rock which
was my washboard, and plastered it
with soap, which I rubbed in with my
knuckles, just as I had seen my vii

Russian Railways.

The unpunctuality, disorder and gen
eral mismanagement of the Russian
railways became some time ago notori-
GUS, and the consequent complaints of
their failure to perform the work for
which they had been constructed were
SO many and so bitter that commission
was appointed shortly before the late
war broke out to investigate their con-
dition. The commission has now made
it's report; and, after expressing an
opinion that the shortcomings COM
planned of are due to the unsubstantial
and faulty construction of most of the
lines, to the insufficient supervision ex-
ercised over their working, to the lack
of an adequate amount of rolling stock,
and to bad administration, it recon-
mends, first, the amalgamation of the
existing fifty-three railroads with their
separate administrations into a few
large companies, whereby the cost of
management will be reduced and more
unity will be introduced into the sew
eral lines. Secondly, the commission
recommends the formation of distinct
company, to keep the whole of Russian
railways always supplied with a sufi-
cient quantity of rolling stock. Thirdly,
the commission proposes the establish
ment of pension fund for all railway
officials, in order that they may be in
duced to display more zeal; and, finally,
it is recommended that a general rail
way law shall be passed, in which the
duties, responsibility, and rights of
every official shall be distinctly defined.

THE NEVADA WONDER.
Enough Salt for All the Markets of the
United States.

United States.
IFrom the Virginia City Nev.) Enterprise.l
Capt. Rhodes, of Esmeralda county.
who is in this city, is owner of what is
known as Rhodes salt marsh, but which
is perfect laboratory of mineral wealth.
The valley contains 4,140 acres Tt is
quite level and is surrounded ION all
sides with high volcanic mountains. It
is situated about fifteen miles northwest
of Columbus. y
In this little valley is a sufficient
amount of salt to supply all the markets
of the United States, if not the whole
world. A foot or two below the surface
is found a solid floor of pure rock salt,
as firm and transparent as ice. Indeed,
when the sand that covers the surface
is stripped of, the salt below bears
very close resemblance to field of ice.
In many places little streams of water
bubble up through the mass of salt, and
very frequently deep pools are found
which look just like air-holes in frozen
lake. The salt made at the marsh is
perfectly pure. When tract of ground
has been stripped of the surface soil the
salt water rises over the bed of rock
salt to the depth of foot or two. Then
crystals of salt begin to form on the
surface of the water, and as they form
they sink to the bottom. If the salt is
to be fine, for table use, workman stir
these crystals about with shovels as they
settle to the bottom, thus breaking
them up. For use in working silver ore,
coarse salt is as good as fine, and the
solid formation may be dug up with
picks, if necessary, but the loose crys-
tails are more readily handled, and as
much salt of this kind is formed as can
be disposed of. ....
Not only are there inexhaustible stores
of salt in the little valley, but immense
stores of borax. This borax is of the
finest qrality known, and 2 or cents
per pound more can be obtained for it
in Europe than for any other borax sent
to that market. Splendid specimens of
tincal, or natural crystals of borax, are
found in the marsh imbedded in the clay
near the surface. Immense quantities
of sulphate of magnesia Epson salt)
and sulphate of soda (glauber saJt) in a
pure state is also found, but the extent
of the deposits is not known. A
Common potash is found in great
abundance, and among the curious
specimens to be obtained are what are
called cotton balls" (boreate of lime)
and fbrous crystalline borax. Also there
is found an abundance of an unknown
mineral. It is something described in
none of the books. It does not
appear in the shape of crystals, yet has
regular form of it's own, presenting
the appearance of branches of corals
It is thought that this may be some new
salt. A quantity of it will shortly be
sent East for examination. -

GEORGIA is about to erect a monu-
ment to Sergt. William Jasper, of South
Carolina, who fell in the assault on Sa-
vannah, Oct. 8, 1779. This is the hero
who leaped from the parapet of Fort
Moultrie and regained the flag which
had been shot away by ball from the
British feet. On another occasion,
aided by a single companion, he cap
tured British guard of ten soldiers
and rescued twelve American captives.
